Parents With Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia pittparents.com

You see us gathering in our ranks now - weary and wounded but still ready, willing, and able to head directly into battle. See us entering the field:

Grandmas and grandpas whose opinions were disregarded as ‘old fashioned’ and ‘out of touch’ as they attempted again and again to reach out in loving kindness to their precious grandchildren.

Childhood friends who watched in horror as their old friend devolved into someone they couldn’t recognize - only interested in hanging out with other poor deluded souls - leaving good friends in the dust.

Family doctors - the few standing by their oath and refusing to refer a patient they have known since birth - and then watching that young patient pursue physical harm through the oxymoron known as ’affirming care.’

Aunties and Uncles, who, while writing out a birthday card to what seems like an empty hole - never getting a ‘thank you’ or even a ‘hello’ text in return - wondering how to address the card - finally deciding to throw it out and just put cash in an envelope instead.

Siblings who watched their parents dissolve into a messy ball of insecurity as this one sibling pulled down every tradition, every family vacation, every high school prom, every holiday, every joyous memory - as this one sibling sucked all of the air out of the loving family leaving an empty shell of people trying to hold it together in the wake of ‘wokeness.’

Dear Sir or Madam:

I will be brief. My daughter, who suffers from the delusion that she can change her sex, was harmed by her local school. She was also harmed by so-called Child Protective Services in New Jersey when they intervened and came to our home, referring to our daughter by the made-up name she goes by at school. I was never informed that my daughter was going by a name other than her legal one.

Teachers and school administration allowed this to happen. When she was about to graduate, the school permitted, and possibly even encouraged, her and others to dress in clothes typical for the opposite gender at the graduation ceremony. And I was asked, via email, to purchase a tuxedo for my daughter. I refused. My daughter attended the celebration in a tuxedo, against our wishes.

The harm this has caused me and my husband is difficult to express

["ROGD" stands for "rapid onset gender dysphoria"]

ROGD spreads like leprosy.
This social contagion, this fatal disease,
which forces parents to their knees
to plead for sound philosophy,
to challenge pharmacology’s
fake panacea “therapy”
that causes harm irreparably.
I’m heartened poor Hippocrates
did not live on for centuries
to witness evil tragedies
where souls are sold for golden greed
and loving hearts of every creed
are threatened, shamed, and told that we
are toxic, transphobe families
who don’t care for the least of these,
who, dragged away, are promised peace
and stripped of personalities.
Their minds are filled with fitful dreams,
death’s lust for virgins to appease.

(post claims they’ve discovered a new intervention that cures a long list of symptoms gender dysphoria)

So, what is this Intervention?

So, what is this new intervention that is so good at alleviating Gender Dysphoria? It is Puberty! Yes puberty. As it is a bit of a turbulent time it can of course, be associated with some increased risks of mental health concerns as a person develops, however it also presents opportunities for positive development and maturing. Understanding and supporting adolescents through this period can help maximize the potential mental health benefits of puberty. Going through puberty can lead to the development of deeper peer relationships, development of the brain regions involved in understanding others’ perspectives (social cognition), which helps adolescents build stronger peer connections and social support networks and is strongly linked to better mental health and resilience. It is also related to the exploration of personal identity and self-awareness, development of greater emotional awareness and coping strategies, influences brain development and function and synaptic pruning, enables emotional resilience and social competence, develops the pre-frontal cortex which aids problem solving. It leads to an increase in production of white matter brain volume, improves communication and connectivity between brain regions and more efficient cognitive processing and emotional regulation. It leads to an increase in emotional intensity by stimulating the limbic system and risk-taking behaviours necessary to help develop adult roles. It also develops the corpus callosum which supports improved coordination between analytical and creative thinking. Therefor not experiencng puberty or delaying puberty leads to stunted or delayed general development and the likelihood of prolonged Gender Dysphoria.

Things are starting to change. More and more people are beginning to see that the trans agenda is not the hill to die on.

My best friend growing up was one of the first people I knew to add pronouns to her bio. She runs a DEI company and proudly calls herself a social justice warrior. For years, I struggled to relate to her after my son went down the trans rabbit hole. […]

Then, there are my sisters. I was once incredibly close to them. But, after I told them what was happening with my son, everything changed. They treated me like I’d fallen into conspiracy theories. They were staunchly progressive, loyal Democrats, and refused to believe that “trans” might not be what we were told. […]

For a long time, I avoided them. My husband encouraged me to try again, to reconnect, and eventually, I decided he was right. I missed my family. So, I got in the car and drove eight hours to visit one of my sisters.

What happened during that visit left me speechless. At one point, she mentioned seeing gender-confused kids everywhere and said she was worried about what’s happening. Later, she casually added that she and our other two sisters had all left the Democratic Party and changed their registration to Independent. I could hardly believe it. I thought they’d be the last ones standing.

It’s strange to watch this shift happen. The same people who once defended the ideology so fiercely are quietly stepping away. […]

But families like mine can’t move on. We don’t get to delete what happened. Our children were the ones experimented on. We’ve watched them be harmed — sometimes irreparably — by an ideology that told them to destroy themselves to find themselves. There’s no undoing that. There’s no returning to “before.”

For the people who once believed, it’s a phase they can walk away from. For us, it’s a lifelong loss.

They can move on. We can’t.

A group of mothers are suffering. I am one of them.

My son is a sweet boy, a caring, gentle and sensitive boy. But everything changed since the day he turned into a different person who I do not recognize. His behaviour changed a couple of months before that day. I noticed significant and out of character behavioural changes from him. He limited his food intake and slept a lot during day time. He used a commanding tone when speaking to me. He tried to avoid conversation with the family.

I felt something wrong and started digging and digging. Then I found the cross-sex hormones in his room. It was a big shock. I had never noticed him having any issues or distress related to gender. When my husband and I tried to talk to him and tried to find out what was going on, he gave us the text book type of answer such as “This is what I want.” “I feel good.”, etc. When we asked why he wants to trans to a woman, his answer was so superficial. He talked about dressing in women’s clothes and wearing makeup. When we finally found a clinician who was willing to help him, our son left home and cut off contact with us.

That day was the darkest day in my life. Since then I lived in the hell.

I lost my daughter to a cult.
And I may never get her back.
I have a son…don’t want one more—
so many issues to unpack.

My heart still sinks each moment when
she slides back into to choosing lies.
Oh, guide our daughter home again,
free from the pain of her disguise.

Renew her mind. Restore her soul.
Let her drink in your loving grace.
One day I’ll find my girl again,
who doesn’t hate her form and face.

We’ll take high tea in skirts and heels.
We’ll go and get our nails done.
We’ll shop and share our deepest dreams,
just like we did when she was young.

So, damn the broken, wicked ones
who lead our kids astray like sheep.
And may the millstones ‘round their necks
drag them down in the deepest seas.

While mainstream culture insists this is about “identity” and “acceptance,” the truth emerging online is far darker.

On sites like Reddit, among trans communities themselves, countless posts now echo despair and confusion:

“The government is making it harder.”
“No one supports us anymore.”
“We feel left behind.”

These are not words of empowerment. They are cries of isolation. But isolation from whom, and why?

[...]

True compassion is not about agreeing with every feeling. It is about loving enough to tell the truth. Real love does not affirm confusion. It guides with grace, offering a hand toward reality, not fantasy. The solution is not in more surgeries or hormones, but in restoring the heart, accepting the body, and finding purpose in the Creator, who made us male and female with intention, wisdom, and love.

Anonymous #ableist #conspiracy #dunning-kruger #transphobia pittparents.com

It’s really weird at my house. If an anthropologist were looking through the window and secretly observing my family, he would be very confused. Why does the father use a male name for the son while the mother uses a female name? And everyone in the family goes along with this, like it’s completely normal?

My gender-addled adult son has been trapped in the trans nightmare for about a year and a half now. He’s a textbook case of ROGD, an “on the spectrum” kid who thinks that his discomfort with himself and the rest of the world is because he’s born in the wrong body. What nonsense. Yet his mother and younger sister “support” him in his “journey”. I don’t. I am the father who loves him and wants what’s best for him, so I don’t affirm what he’s doing to himself. I stay close to him - he still lives at home - but I don’t go along with the new name, the new pronouns and language, any of it. Meanwhile he’s not working, not going to school, doesn’t get out much, and just seems to be stuck in the game of life.

… So in our household, my wife affirms, and I don’t. It’s a problem and it’s escalating. My wife winces every time I use my son’s birth name. “You’re hurting him.” she yells. “Why can’t you accept him the way he is?” I’m hurting him? I do accept him, as him, she doesn’t. No one can change their sex. My wife should know that. The last few months I’ve been watching the slow transformation of my once-handsome son into something else, I’m not sure what. He’s hurting himself in ways he probably doesn’t yet know. He’s getting sick on cross-sex hormones but won’t acknowledge that those hormones are the cause of his sickness. He occasionally sees the classic “disturbed, close female friend” (a one-time girlfriend who says she’s also trans), and she likes to give him manicures. Really? Does he realize she’s treating him like a damn dress-up doll? Probably not.

Against “Be Kind”


To my relatives who enable and celebrate my trans-identifying son and who have avoided me for years now:

I see your “Be Kind” posts on Facebook. The posts with a rainbow flag and other virtue signaling self-congratulating mottos and memes.

I see your posts of kitschy signs that say things like, “All I care about is your good intentions”. I guess you have forgotten the part about the road to Hell being paved with good intentions.

I see your photos posted of the wedding that you did not invite me to or even tell me about.

I see my estranged trans-identified son looking anxious and silent, covering his face with his long hair.

I can see how ill he looks from far away. It breaks my heart that he has cut off contact with us, his parents who love him and want him to be strong.

But you, dear relatives, can see only how Virtuous and Woke you are, what a Good Person you are for Being Kind. Because you have such Good Intentions.

You call my son by a female name. You pretend he is a girl, a woman, and tell him how brave he is. You express sympathy and tell him what awful parents he has.

My son is responsible for his mistakes; he chose to proceed with the trans-identification and medical transition. But it didn’t help that you embraced the opportunity to show how Nice and Considerate you are by celebrating his poor thinking and decline.

You see, you are so Kind. You gather ill people like my son around you because they make you look so Special and Caring.

When my son was younger, before the trans-identification, you had little interest in him. Why would you? What is interesting about a smart, strong, successful young man who does not require your Kindness to succeed.

So much better for you to have the opportunity to Be Kind.

I think the whole autism thing was a plan all along. They knew exactly how to create autism and they could create a whole lot of vulnerable people that they could draw into the cult. I say they not really knowing exactly who "they" are, but I do believe that whoever they are, they will soon be gone because as my son said in the lyrics he created in his friend's studio he called "Burn in Hell Jezebel", the anger has boiled to the top. I'm trying to make this video go viral, because that name of Jezebel has come up frequently over the past few years. I don't pretend to understand it all but we have been through hell at my house as have most people here, and I have to believe that the end to this is near!

Yes I want the vultures to pay for their crimes to humanity For the harm that is being done to my child For the lie that he can be a woman, for the lie that depression stops with blockers and boobs and after that with surgeries I want the vultures to pay for mutilating children, teenagers, young adults. I want the vultures to pay for destroying families, mutilating beautiful perfect bodies without any remorse, without thinking that what they are doing could do more harm than good all because of money. I want the vultures to cry all the tears that I have cried for my child, every day. I want the vultures to feel the pain I feel to see my child suffering, believing a lie and telling me to leave him alone because I am ignorant and stupid. I want the vultures to pay for steeling my child 's love and respect for his parents.

There are still a few “Protect Trans Kids! Protect the Dolls!” posts popping up on my social media, but they seem to be limited to my most woke and clueless friends. My mainstream mom friends are taking deep breaths and keeping their mouths shut. That is a positive sign. I’ve got to believe that we’re swimming towards the surface of “Believe the Science” again: no one can change sex. Even if Trump’s executive orders are flipped in a few years, I don’t think the Democrats can tie themselves to this anti-woman and anti-LGB ideology again. Most Americans aren’t buying it anymore. The War is over: Trans lost, Reality won.

But I’m still thinking about these confused and vulnerable kids – the gay kids, the autistic kids, the lonely and isolated kids. There are at least four girls in my daughter’s high school who are transitioned – two of them on testosterone. There are at least six more in our social circle who have medicalized, and another 14 I know of who have socially transitioned. Everyone has a neighbor, classmate, family member who has been caught up in this. What happens to them? I predict there will be a broader retreat from this mass psychosis, and many of these young people will learn to walk through the world carrying the physical scars and mental damage from this era. Like the generation of Vietnam Vets who ambled around my city during the 1970s and early 1980s – they will be the wounded victims of a pointless war.

[...]

And yet – today I learned about Henry Gunther, the last soldier to die in World War I. He died charging a German roadblock on November 11, 1918, at 10:59 am - just one minute before the Armistice was to take effect. There was no delay in the news- Henry knew the Armistice was coming, it had been announced that morning. In fact, when he sprang up from his position, Henry’s commander ordered him to not charge. The German soldiers tried to wave him off. When Henry persisted and began to shoot at them, they returned fire. Henry had been obsessed and “determined to make good before his officers and fellow soldiers.” I doubt Henry’s family was comforted by his beliefs as they buried his body.

Who will be the final adolescent sacrificed to trans ideology?

As I wrote in the previous email, my idea was to give my son a working vocabulary that could be used to describe gender ideology. I wanted him to first learn this vocabulary in other contexts, for example, while learning about cults or totalitarian regimes. I hoped that he would be able to make these connections himself, and eventually he did make them.

If you end up on the subject of the Holocaust, and even if not, the movie JoJo Rabbit is one of the best movies you can watch with a trans-identifying child. We watched it several times. My kids love it. It can be easily translated into being “about trans”, and I think it does affect their subconscious. JoJo is a little boy who wants to belong and he is a Nazi; his imaginary friend is Hitler himself… The ideology cripples him, literally, and yet he continues to believe, because it offers such an escape from the reality of war. All the while, his mother is in the Resistance Movement. “You are not a Nazi, JoJo, you are a little boy who likes to wear a uniform and wants to belong,” his mother says. What a perfect line!

I have often thought about the last person to die in a war - the final soldiers killed as the Americans pulled out of Afghanistan or the final casualty before the end of World War II.

To learn your son died for a cause can bring honor and some comfort. To learn they died needlessly, pointlessly, must create a spring of pain and anger that never ceases.

It feels like there is a shift in the wind this fall regarding gender ideology. Famous people are now admitting they had some doubts all along. My kid’s principal has finally agreed that secret pronoun forms are not such a good idea after all. Target has stopped promoting tucking swimsuits for little boys. There are still a few “Protect Trans Kids! Protect the Dolls!” posts popping up on my social media, but they seem to be limited to my most woke and clueless friends.

Gender ideology is a con. Transitioning destroys lives – it does not save them. No one can or should claim they do not know. Only the zealots could argue that the battle is still being waged, and that sacrificing children is the appropriate thing to do.

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

My son, who we prayed with each night, came to believe that God had made a mistake by having him born in a boy’s body.

My son no longer believes in Jesus or in God.

My son now believes in a cultish trans ideology which he learned about online rather than believing his mom-who has all the best intentions for him based on true love.

My son, who will not consider any truth I speak to him because he has been told repeatedly by this cultish group that parents don't love trans kids, believes we will exile him from our home.

My son, who is now making up memories based on the thoughts and considerations being put there by this cult, has convinced himself that he really has loved girlish ways since he was young.

My son hates school now because he has to "hide who he really is" from his classmates because it’s a Christian school.

My son, who believes that no one will accept him the way he is, believes being female will solve all his problems.

My son hates his body and the way he looks.

My son, who is 14 years old now, shaves his legs and arms three or more times a week because he hates the male looking hair that grows there.

My son constantly wears oversize sweatshirts to hide his body, even sleeping in them in the summer heat so no one (not even his parents) sees his body.

My son cries when I try to speak to him about how he feels now.

My son, who cannot tell me exactly why he wants to be a girl, shows me propaganda such as bingo games and other stupid material, repeating what obviously he found on grooming sites.

alewifey #transphobia pittparents.com

And then there's the ••real•• reason for "transition" in pre-pubescent childhood: Because if you block a boy's puberty earlier, he might—for a limited time, anws—look more convincingly female-like for the predatory groomers who want him as a sex object. (Also why the groomers aren't clamoring with the same ferocity for the medical "transition" of pre-pubescent Girls, even though Girls are now 80 to 90 percent of all minors being "transitioned".)

The rainbow represents God's promise to the world that He will never destroy the earth again with water. Today, after a rainstorm when the sun is shining again, and a beautiful arched bow of colored hues can be seen - it is beautiful. But the trans ideology has ruined that beautiful rainbow and now I cringe whenever I see a rainbow - yes, even the one in the sky after a shower. My dear friend just lost her 10-year-old dog, and I bought her a sympathy card, but I made sure I did not reference the "rainbow bridge" because she has a son who believes he is trans. Mentioning the rainbow bridge to her would only have added more grief to her world because she is terrified that she will lose her son to this trans-cult. Rainbows can be found everywhere now and, in every store on children's clothing, toys, books, stickers, cards, backpacks, hair clips - it is a subtle way of influencing their young innocent minds. Children are growing up being conditioned to see any and all rainbow symbols and flags as something good. What was once something beautiful is now void of beauty and only causes pain. We know the truth about the trans lies.

Myles/Margot Lewis. Robert/Robin Westman. Tyler Robinson. These names have taken me to the keyboard and brought me to my knees. News of their actions has pierced my heart in ways I’m still searching to describe. And I’m not alone.

We’ve heard much about ROGD (Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria), especially in girls and in large part due to Abigail Shrier’s book, Irreversible Damage. But less has been written about the boys. We’ve seen drag queens and images of demented looking men, but the parents of many trans-identified kids have a different perspective. After our son came out in 2014, it soon became obvious there was a common thread in these boys.

[...]

I must not fail to mention, some of these kids have been abused. Sometimes by the very people who were supposed to be protecting them. It is not a stretch for them to claim a trans identity and seek these communities as an escape and a place of safety. Tragically, many of these kids fall into further abuse.

I’m not suggesting that our son or anyone else’s is desiring another’s death but we know they have already chosen death to themselves. We know because we dare not use their “dead name.” With our son’s 10-year absence, I know next to nothing. I can only draw conclusions from the growing number who have escaped this madness, trying to find their way back to reality as best they can with the damage done. And I’m not suggesting these young men all have the potential to be shooters, but often parents have no idea what they are capable of because of the unrecognizable changes that have taken place. And this worries us.

I know only God is able to fully rescue them but I share this in hopes that I can help prevent all the quirky, sensitive sons out there from becoming one of these lost boys.

In the days after my son announced he was a woman, he was ecstatic, thinking everyone was on board (I was listening and asking questions and ordering my mind). He was giddy explaining how excited he was to get thigh high boots finally and how they'd look. Now, how would he be tapped into that? I realized that the porn that I had some awareness of was facilitating a fantasy. I could not ethically nor honestly participate in what, to me, had become a fantastical ritual given very very grand and heavy meaning. I am not going to go to the trans church and say I believe in the god when I don't, and when I can see that, for my grown son, it has been attributed with the meaning of everything. Add sex to the meaning-making, and it is a very potent attachment. I don't see how I can participate in that.

I remember my trans son saying “oh, men are so icky” once during his process. I praised men at that point including his dad, whom I’m divorced from. But it didn’t change his mind, it was already ingrained cult thinking.

I also wake up and look thru photos of trans people involved in shootings thinking, Please God, don’t let me see his picture there. He told me a few times, he was a Pacifist, so that was some comfort. Of course that was a while ago and since then he’s called me every name in the book, Facist, Nazi, Trump lover, I can’t think of the other names, it must be my brain protecting me! I don’t even think I spelled faccist right I never even heard the word before these Liberals and trans groups started throwing it around. Gee, don’t they realize that if Trump was really a fascist he would have them all thrown in jail? There is no reasoning when they are consumed by this cult thinking so I have just backed off. I don’t speak to my son anymore. I don’t send him things. I don’t try to convince him. I just pray. I just pray that he’ll wake up someday and say, what have I done to myself because it’s he who did it to himself -Not me not his dad not his sister - is he who agreed to harm himself! I’m just at a loss as to what to do.

I blame the professionals. I’d like to see every one of them behind bars. Everyone who gave cross sex hormones to anybody or did a surgery on anybody should be behind bars forever Licenses revoked that’s the punishment they deserve for ruining a class of society that was our future!

St Monica prayed for 17 years before St Augustine changed his wicked ways. He was a radical, had a baby out of wedlock, drank, ran around and ultra liberal highly intelligent man going against everything good of his time around 483 - he wasn’t a trans I don’t think it existed then but they still had people going astray against the normality of goodness. Finally his mother’s prayers paid off he came back to sanity and became a highly respected Saint of the Catholic Church!

Let's add some clarification to this Liberal blather. The first rainbow flag was a promise and a firm warning to sinners, It first reminded Noah and his family of their salvation through water, from the complete and utter annihilation of sinners. It was a promise that God would never destroy the earth by flood again. It is also a sheathed warning. God never promised that the world and the wicked would never be destroyed again. The next time will be with fire.

Virginia IS on the wrong side of history again, and Virginia is not alone. The day is coming when the truth will be believed about the trans-cult ideology lies and there will be many states, schools, organizations, companies, and famous people that will be on the wrong side of history, and we will NEVER forget what all of them have done to harm our children. Common sense is all it takes to understand that God does not make mistakes and put the wrong person in the wrong body! There are two sexes: male and female. To quote the late Charlie Kirk “The facts that there are only two genders; that transgenderism and gender “fluidity” are lies that hurt people and abuse kids..." Ironic that Charlie was shot and killed by a transgender influencer. Again, this shooter is on the wrong side of history!

We have to remove politicians who do not oppose transgenderism. It is not enough if a politician keeps quiet on this issue. We have to demand active opposition in order to get legislation changed. President Trump is taking a lot of heat at the federal level, criticizing his policy for women and girls in all federal funded institutions. We need similiar policy and legislation at state and local level, including schools and school and school boards.

Though I try to move on and enjoy my life, my son has created an enormous hole for our family. As a father with two small sons, he has chosen a narcissistic delusion over family. That is not how he and his wife see it, but that is how I view it. He would happily be a part of our lives, but only if I support his delusion. Since I will not, we effectively do not see each other much. It is heartbreaking and completely contrary to how he was raised. It feels like a dark cloud settled over you and stayed. But, I am trying to move on with my life and I keep the hope that he may come back to us.

I am so worried about my 5-year-old granddaughter who just started Kindergarten. She wants to be a veterinarian...but she needs to complete the 12-years of secondary schooling first. Then onto a university. I hope and pray her schooling, studies, and training will go well and that she will not be harmed in any way. All of us sent our children to school thinking it was safe - I lived in Colorado when the tragic Columbine High School shootings happened. My daughter was in 3rd grade then, and there are still school shootings happening today over 25 years later! This trans ideology is far more frightening to me now because the bad guys could be teachers, counselors, coaches, and principles who think that the trans-cult lies are the truth.

The “trans” iteration of the pride flag, and various other versions, seems to be replacing the original rainbow flag. A Google search returns that the progress pride flag represents the “marginalized LGBTQ+ community.” Perhaps the flag flyers have good intentions and are not aware that the revised flag might be divisive rather than unifying, and exclusive rather than inclusive, no matter how many new colored stripes and symbols are added. Maybe those who fly these flags do not intend to be disrespectful, yet displaying these flags seems to be about making an ideological or political statement, and many find that message offensive.

[…]

In case you are outside of this charged ideological arena, here are a few details to understand. The LGB community was hijacked by the TQ+ folks and the rest of the ever-growing alphabet of add-ons, which linked itself, without permission or consent, to the LGB movement and its hard-won rights. […]

Kids are declaring new identities after being influenced by social media and internet content. A young person is a target if they feel angst, distress, confusion, or don’t fit in, and they are vulnerable to love bombing and promises of a better life if they take steps to alter or fix their “wrong” bodies. “Trans” and “Q+” seem to want the limelight now, and these gender identities have an aggressive activist agenda.

[…]

Blaming the body for complex issues and ignoring underlying co-morbidities is encouraged and celebrated in the current edict issued by “trans” activists, with no questions or discussion allowed. Common sense, critical thinking, and independent thought are discouraged in the name of social justice or a new civil rights focus gone too far. So, the new “trans” and progress pride flags also represent the irreversible harm to the bodies and health of our youngest and most vulnerable kids and adults, and that is not cool or a symbol of virtue.

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

We did not affirm our son’s trans identity. He later detransitioned and then took his own life. The parents of the recent school shooting in Minnesota may have affirmed their son and he took his life after killing two children and wounding 18 others. Can it still be argued that affirming is the best route for children?

When the police came to my place of work, I feared the worst. I knew it was about my son. I had always worried the other shoe could drop and his detransition was too good to be true. I worried my son had done something awful. He did, but only to himself, and left his family devastated. He did not take anyone with him. My son was never violent but cross-sex hormones mess with kids’ brains. Social transition also messes with their brains.

We did not affirm our son but everyone around him did behind our backs, and at 18 he was able to get hormones. At our son’s funeral his best friend blamed us for his death because we did not affirm. His friend wanted the girl name on our son’s tombstone even though our son had gone back to using his birth name. This friend made the tragic loss of our son even worse, if that is possible.

[...]

It’s time we help kids by ending the affirmation of the trans delusion. How many more kids need to take their lives and, perhaps, innocent children with them? It’s time to stop believing there are trans people. No one is trans. It is a mental illness and a huge medical scandal pushed on the vulnerable.

Cross Sex Hormones: Today's Recreational Drugs

Teens think that cross-sex hormones are a harmless way to express themselves. My son is not suffering from gender dysphoria or body distress. Yet, he has an idea stuck in his mind… that he wants to be a woman. His reasoning? He just does, and he doesn’t want to squeeze into a stereotypical gender box.

Oh, and also, he feels more female than male because he likes rom-coms and lesbian porn. Pretty logical and makes perfect sense, right?

As part of this desire to be a woman, my son looks forward to the experience of taking hormones similar to the way someone wanting to experience acid or mushrooms in my day.

He is not even worried about the harm it will cause his body.

I viewed recreational drugs the same way when I was a teen, which makes me wonder - does assuming another “gender identity” give you bravery like how alcohol and weed did for me?

[…]

Today, the primary mode of teen expression and rebellion is Trans. And the recreational drugs aren’t weed and alcohol - they are cross-sex hormones. And they are as easy to obtain as a dime bag was for me. You can just shop online, or go to a college campus clinic or Planned Parenthood.

[…]

The drug companies and gender clinics are thrilled to continue on this path - there are plenty of profits to be made from mercurial and autistic, nerdy teens who get to buy their drugs with a stamp of approval from society.

Coming out socially as trans is the gateway drug to this fad — what comes next makes you a medical patient for life.

[…]

And, despite diagnoses of autism, or ADHD, despite vast numbers of people raising concerns about young people’s ability to have informed consent for life altering “treatments”, doctors will affirm and give drugs to kids like mine, even absent any history of any childhood gender confusion.

[…]

Today we encourage and even celebrate our vulnerable teens dabbling in life-altering substances.

How did we get here, and what are we going to do to stop this?

Parents With Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia pittparents.com

I am in a couple of online groups where parents of ROGD boys meet. We say that we are different as parents but we all have the same son. This boy is typically very intelligent, nerdy, non-athletic, and as a child was interested, no… obsessed with specific “boy” toys and interests. Surveys of ~ 300 parents indicate that almost 92% of our sons fit in this category.

[...]

So, when my son came out to me at 19 and told me that he was a woman trapped in a man’s body, I nearly fainted from shock. What happened since that initial declaration, was that my son, like many of our boys, changed the narrative about his life, his story and the interests he had as a boy and teenager. He started acting differently to try to force himself into fitting into his new “female” identity.

Last week, I decided that it was time to go through the items my son left behind when he moved out of our home and changed his identity as our son. There were containers full of toys, videos and video games, all attesting to the fact that his interests were always those of a typical boy. I found thousands of Legos and K-nex pieces, dozens of Ben Ten and superhero figurines, piles of superhero DVDs, car racing video games (he took all the Mario games!), train, trucks and matchbox car collections, strategy-based board games, etc. I texted my mom friends, “I have receipts!” while sending them photos of the items. We had a funny exchange where we found out that our kids had the exact same toys and many of the same interests when they were growing up. Several of us still have Thomas the Tank train collections, Legos and circuit boards. I am hanging on to those toys. I can’t bear to part with them. Those are receipts that I plan to keep, just in case…

That was a lot of information, and I found it alarming and disturbing. How can we possibly fight AI - it is everywhere? I demand transparency and accountability, but from who? The programmers? The millionaires supporting AI? Look at Big Pharma manufacturing all these drugs for the trans kids and making more money! Don't forget about the therapists who now have full schedules because of the trans kids and are making more money. And of course, the mighty surgeons who are benefiting from the trans kids by willingly mutilating their healthy bodies and are making more money. Money talks, it has power, and AI is now the next big money maker. Sometimes I feel like we are indeed in the end times - how can this world continue ignoring the facts by pretending that the trans-cult is acceptable? Mere men are now playing god, and using AI to make decisions, and answer questions, only to manipulate the human race and further lie to us? We are in deep trouble here.

Exactly the same receipts with my son, too! He still loves his computer building and now is creating soft ware. I haven't seen or heard from him except once in 10 years but I've been informed he's well and employed at the moment. In my case both my daughters- his big sisters whom he admired and respected groomed him as Trans they being nauseating strident feminists. Hey they get to display their trans flags in their front yards,though. By association they are so cool, they think.

This statement "Trans people themselves are not the enemy – far from it." is not correct. Trans people ARE the enemy. Once the trans psychosis has been accepted as a guiding belief, there is a lot of interest in getting others to also accept this. Trans actors (Ellen Page who calls herself "Elliot") present "exemplars" of successful trans persons.

The trans are often not the prime movers, true. But do not give them a pass.

Code names. Secret messages passed in the dark. Covert operations. Hiding from the authorities. Are we talking about 1944 in Europe? Sadly, no: We’re talking about 2021 and our secret resistance is taking place all over the world.

Instead of spies and resistance fighters inside enemy-occupied borders, we are parents of gender questioning children, who are skeptical of the weakly-evidenced, affirmation-only approach currently being pushed by activists and activist-captured organizations (including the Lancet, whose most recent cover insults women and our girls by calling them “bodies with vaginas”).

Rather than codes and secret messages, we pass copies of Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage wrapped in plain brown paper to curious friends. We interact on secret online groups, and write articles and letters using fake names and emails to obscure our true identities due to the very real risk of cancellation and doxing. All we have to do is look at the appalling and one-sided treatment of J.K. Rowling to know we should stay quiet.

[...]


Perhaps some will find the comparison to the Resistance of WWII insulting. But for us parents, it’s very real and very apt. Our kids’ lives and long-term mental and physical health are on the line. And so we fight for their future selves, for who they may become.

Where’s our hotline?

“Press 1 if your child was carefully groomed and scammed into permanently altering her body to perpetuate a false idea and rejecting you, and now your family is falling apart and you’ve been crying in secret for a week straight but you can’t say anything because even at the freakin’ grocery store there are pride flags everywhere and drag queens at the checkout lane and you have a smile on your face but you feel like you are going to have an aneurysm.”

“Para español oprima el dos.”

I remember being so distraught that I texted a suicide hotline because I was shaking and couldn’t stop… It didn’t seem like they understood or cared about the trauma I was going through of my son essentially killing himself because he “dead-named” my child, killed our relationship, and killed our closeness. Thankfully he isn’t actually dead and we’ve been able to regain a new relationship. It’s not the same, there’s still hurt on both sides, he’s still on the same path, I’m still not allowed to use his dead name, but there’s always hope 🙏🙏🙏

Right? If this were not upside down land that is the hotline we would have.

If I were growing up now, I'd almost certainly have been convinced I was "born in the wrong body," would have undergone transition procedures, and then come to regret it.

[…]

When I was in my fifties, I discovered that I have ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. I would say that many girls in this category have complex PTSD because of bullying. When I was fifteen, I was sexually assaulted by a nineteen-year-old guy, and I really started acting out. If I'd been offered the opportunity to become part of a special, protected class of people (trans kids), I almost certainly would have taken it. I was tired of fighting. I would have done just about anything to become someone else rather than myself, whom I had learned to despise.

The thing is, though, no matter where you go, there you are.

Some people do have severe, persistent dysphoria about their biological sex. The majority of adolescents presenting with rapid-onset gender dysphoria will desist. These young people need counseling to explore the reasons for their dysphoria, not cross-sex hormones and surgeries.

Transing away the LGB, the autistic, and the gender-nonconforming is not a joke. It's ironic that TRAs are always shrieking about "trans genocide" when they are the most celebrated oppressed class ever.

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

If the trans movement cared about children, they wouldn’t push parents out of their children’s lives. Children need their parents. The narrative is being pushed that parents of LGBTQ are bad. Even in the law, you are innocent until proven guilty. But if your child says they are “trans” you are guilty until proven innocent. To prove you are innocent, you must harm your own child by transitioning them. You are not allowed to ask questions; you can only follow the child’s lead. Fortunately, a new law just passed in North Carolina that says it's not abuse for parents to refuse their kid's gender transition. This is going in the right direction, and we need this in all states.

The Trevor Project is a well-funded activist group pushing policies that keep parents in the dark and insert gender ideology into K-12 schools. Finally, common sense is coming back. The Trevor project suicide hotline closed on July 17th.

The Trevor Project is also anti-family. It perpetuates secrets and encourages minors to talk with strangers. We all grew up knowing that if someone told you to keep secrets from your parents, that person is not to be trusted. But in the trans world, keeping secrets from parents is encouraged. In normal times, if a child is suicidal, the parents would be the first to know. But somehow this logic switched to the idea that teachers and random people care more about “trans” children than parents do - all without a shred a proof. No one cares more about their child than their parents! Why does this even have to be explained?

A random person talking to a minor and keeping secrets with that minor is a child predator NOT a child protector.

Children are very innocent and naive and that’s why this movement has gone after them. Children like mine. We must keep fighting back against organizations like The Trevor Project. We must stop this movement before more children get hurt, like mine has been.

However in reference to your yard sign including" Stop the sterilization of gay kids": I would revise this to "Stop the sterilization of vulnerable young people" I believe my son is actually straight, as he had crushes on girls in high school. However, at 22, after sterilization by Planned Parenthood when he was newly 19, he says he is now "asexual." He would no doubt prefer a relationship with a lesbian female to validate his fantasy of being a "woman" (which would actually be a straight couple.) But with his disturbing appearance as an over six feet tall man in stereotyped "female" clothes, his likelihood of a normal female attracted to him are close to zero. Instead he is dating another confused man also ingesting sterilizing hormones and pretending to be a woman. So now my son claims to be a "lesbian." It's all beyond bizarre and cruel what's been inflicted on him (and myself and my family) by our sick society. Indeed, if I posted your sign on my yard, I would fear for my house and myself.

“Infiltrate the target group, pretend to be their ally…” This applies to autism as well. I’ve spoken with parents of autistic children who have shared how trans activists are aggressively pushing their agenda and propaganda in these groups. I think it was autism specialist Tony Attwood who said a few years back, “This is beginning to look worryingly like backdoor eugenics.”

(THE ARTILECT)
Backdoor? They are at the front door with ramrods. And a warrant. :-(

(Alexander Joseph Hamburger)
This is full on eugenics. A group of people is alleged to be defective, and the “solution” is to sterilize them. Got autism? Let’s sterilize. Depression? Sterilize! Attention deficit disorder? Sterilize. Gay? Sterilize.

(Linda H)
No kidding!

(Patrick)
The impact on autistic children is the most devastating to me. Instead of getting treatment for autism they are being redirected towards a lifetime of plastic surgeries & hormone therapy. The vast majority aren't even required to have any interaction at all with any behavioral health services. Straight to the endo.

(Linda H)
Our son’s university lined him up with a “gender affirming” counselor but she totally disregarded the thorough evaluation we put him through and told us she felt he wasn’t really autistic but rather trans. He was sent straight to the endo while the university was working to provide him with free hormones. (This was 2014.) Little did we know that while he was being enabled by them in this delusion, he was also being groomed online by a predator. He disappeared suddenly six months later and we haven’t seen him since. It was bad enough to see this happen to our son at the college level but it makes me furious to see how they are now preying on younger and younger children.

“At the rate we’re transing kids, soon there will be no gay people left”. […] Does anyone find that funny? I don’t. But the eradication of the gay community is exactly what is happening right now, today, thanks to gender ideology.

[…] The older sister of one of my friends was a classic tomboy […] later, I learned that she was gay. […] I’ve thought about her a lot lately. I have no doubt that if she had grown up in the last 20 years, she would now have a beard, no breasts, and would be going by a male name. She would have been trans-ed. Concerned doctors and therapists would have counseled her and convinced her that she was actually a man in a woman’s body, and that she would be at risk of suicide if she didn’t “transition”. Of course, not every tomboy is gay, but does anyone see any tomboys anymore? Nope.

[…]

What’s really creepy about this assault on the gay community, and gay kids in particular, is that if someone tried to strategize ways to eliminate a specific community or religion or social group, without the group’s knowledge, transitioning that population via gender ideology is precisely how it could be done. Infiltrate the target group, pretend to be their ally, and eliminate the younger members of the group. Eventually, the group will shrink and disappear.

[…] All the organizations that have represented the gay community now also represent trans-identified individuals. You rarely see LGB organizations or references to LGB-specific issues […] Other organizations that have been friendly to gays and lesbians in the past, like the ACLU, now include and even prioritize trans issues. Gays and lesbians are forced to accept trans-identified individuals in all situations, even though around 50% of those individuals are quite probably gay and have been transitioned […] This is a wicked, sneaky assault - trans the gay kids and in a generation there will be no more gays.

[…]

Gender ideology is the new conversion therapy, and it’s working.

We have been around since the beginning of civilization. Now they want to erase us. Our rights are being stripped away; our voices silenced. They disrespect us and treat us with hate. We have had to band together in secret but our voices will become louder until society finally accepts us for who we are, for our true selves.

WE are PARENTS who deeply LOVE our children; even though they don't believe us and have been encouraged to completely cut us out of their lives. We want our children to be able to lead HEALTHY happy lives. We want them in our lives no matter how bumpy the road. Life is not perfect and neither are we.

[Context: Comment on a PITT post whining about how the poster adopted a child who supposedly later became a trans furry]

You are not alone - we understand the evilness of this cult as it poisons our children's minds. You were kind enough to take in a homeless baby girl and provide for her, protect her, and love her. She was influenced by social media, then groomed, and then affirmed. It is not your fault. Enjoy the calmness, we understand that, too.

Jennifer Bond Baker #transphobia pittparents.com

My child IS an adult, has been lost to us for five years, sucked into believing he is actually a woman. It is like a death to us, his family, who are cut off from him for believing he is actually a man. This is a tremendous harm to himself, his family, and to our society. He is among those in women’s only spaces, for example. No doctor should be altering a body through meds or surgeries because of a dysfunction in the mind. Period. 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.
