Parents With Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia #wingnut pittparents.com

It is hard not to find it strange when teachers, doctors, psychologists, and institutions begin repeating the same script. When everyone answers the same way, using the same words and the same arguments, the question becomes inevitable: where is this playbook? Discord? Closed groups? The dark web? Colleges? Schools? We may not know exactly where it is, but it is evident that there is a shared orientation.

What also draws attention is the existence of a very clear step-by-step process. The standard answer to “why this is happening,” the narrative of when it began, the ready-made discourse offered by professionals, and the anger almost always directed at the family, at parents, at any form of boundaries. None of this feels spontaneous. Telling a father or a mother, “would you rather have a dead son or a living daughter,” is not care. It is emotional blackmail. It is psychological terror. It is a way to silence any honest reflection through fear.

The result is a generation being emotionally weakened: men being taught to reject masculinity, women encouraged to deny femininity, religions being ridiculed, the family portrayed as oppressive, and parents who guide, shape, and prepare their children for the world being labeled as toxic villains. Years ago, if someone looked in the mirror believing their internal conflicts would be resolved by changing sex, this would have been treated as a mental health disorder. When and why did that change?
