“My child IS an adult, has been lost to us for five years, sucked into believing he is actually a woman.”
Seems like she IS a woman.
“It is like a death to us, his family, who are cut off from him for believing he is actually a man.”
So, you deny her reality and cry that YOU are the victims. DIAF.
“This is a tremendous harm to himself, his family, and to our society.”
I don’t see where she’s being harmed, just living her truth without you.
“He is among those in women’s only spaces, for example.”

In the 1940s, they pioneered a European treatment that made the body match what the brain was telling it. It’s been the most successful medial procedure ever found. The regret rate is less than 1%. KNEE surgery isn’t that good.
“ We parents of adult trans children want our nightmare to end and it only ends when society stops being “respectful” of adults choosing this,”

“and calling it what it is: mental illness, among many other things.”
Which still won’t change the best treatment for it, now, will it?
“See work by Jennifer Bilek.”
A conspiracy theorist who blames Jewish Billionaires for funding transgender surgery. Yeah, I’d rather read Mein Kompf again.
"It’s not ok for kids. It’s not ok for adults. It’s not. Ok. Ever.”
Yeah, but, see, I’m not a bigot. So I can see the actual research and the body of evidence for the position.
