My daughter came home from her appointment at “her” gender clinic with her first prescription for synthetic testosterone yesterday. She told me Doctor “Vincent” will administer the first “slow acting” dose by injection next week, after she picks it up from our local pharmacy.
Reandron 1000 is a synthetic testosterone used to treat Hypogonadism in men. Made by Bayer Pharmaceuticals the Consumer Medicine Information sheet (which I downloaded) states “When you must not be given it:” Do not use Reandron if you are a woman (in bold lettering).
“Sex Change” clinics in Australia (gender clinic sounds so innocuous) are attached to large public hospitals and are government (i.e: taxpayer) funded.
I have just been reading Dr Miriam Grossman’s excellent book “Lost in Trans Nation”. On page 75, Helena Kirschner, who identified as a transman when she was 18, writes very eloquently of the reason she believes this cult has infected our children. The internet (sites such as Tumblr, Reddit, TikTok etc.) have given our kids, particularly our girls, a sense of shame about their so-called privilege (i.e. white, cis, heterosexual). In other words, our children have been convinced to despise what makes them “privileged”.
Quote:” They can’t change their sexual orientation or race. But they can change their gender. Transgenderism offers a way for adolescents to be absolved of privilege and join the ranks of the oppressed.”
OMG! Now I know why my daughter has been jumping on every “oppressed” bandwagon that comes along, starting with BLM, LGBTQI+, Aboriginal “Voice to Parliament”, Equal Pay for Women, Palestinian Rights, The Green Party etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. Wow. She’s ashamed of who she is! That makes complete, illogical, irrational, neurotic sense. Here we were, my husband and I, thinking that providing our children with good educations, traveling the world with them and loving them beyond measure was enough. Apparently, it was enough for our eldest daughter who, although an angsty teen (no surprise there!), is now 26, is getting engaged and completing a university degree.
I want to be clear - we have always treated our daughters as individuals as they have quite different interests. We have supported them in all their choices-until now. Now we are truly at a loss as to how to support our youngest in this insidious “cult” she has mistakenly chosen to join (and to which we are vehemently opposed.)
My question now is what can we do to counter this deluded thinking in our 18-year- old?
Can you have your child meet a detransiitoner? One conversation.
This is absolutely a First World phenomenon. We have failed our youth by lowering all the hurdles and nerfing all the battles. We drive them to school so they don't have to walk. We give them participation trophies. We got rid of all the bullying to improve their mental health, now everything we say is "bullying" and their mental health is the worst it's ever been. We might do better by them by taking away their phones and leaving them in the woods. J/s
I explained to my daughters that transitioning is a grown up decision for people who are mature and economically independent and therefore they could not have hormones or surgery whilst living at home. I said I would not put a single cent towards what I see as the destruction of their natural health but would do everything I could to support their journey to becoming economically independent and healthy adults. I refused to get them a therapist and instead put the money into paying for their gym memberships, camping gear, singing classes, overseas holidays, horse riding, anything within reason that would bring them joy, new experiences and skills, and that highlights the importance of not being a perpetual medical patient. So far, the 20 year old is still at home with us and the 17 year old has another year of high school before she can make decisions for herself. We use their birth names but both of them use trans names with their friends.
It’s a nightmare balancing act that could all implode at any second. I’m so angry with doctors and lawyers for creating this organ-sacrifice family-destroying social contagion.
