I can speak personally about my own son.

He was highly intelligent, a straight-A student, introverted, sensitive, and had never had a girlfriend. That description alone mirrors what so many parents here describe. His entry point was fighting video games. From there, he joined the Fighting Game Community. As many of you already know, these spaces are overwhelmingly LGBTQ-dominated.

… At what point do we stop calling this coincidence?

There are countless videos online of gamers openly discussing taking estrogen, claiming it makes them feel calmer, more sensitive, or more “in tune” while playing. Whether people are comfortable acknowledging this or not, this content exists, and it reaches vulnerable minds.

When so many young people use the same language, follow the same sequence of steps, anticipate the same objections, and deliver the same answers almost word for word, it is fair to ask: where did this script come from?

Who prepared them for this moment?

Who taught them what to say, when to say it, and how to frame their parents as adversaries if they resist?

Who guided them to see affirmation as love and caution as harm?
