This is so sad, I can't imagine how their mom is handling this. It's so unfair. Boy, I feel sorry for how the dad is going to feel when he "wakes up" from this and realizes the damage he has caused.
Nietzsche has what I consider to be the greatest evaluation ever of liberalism as a political system. From Beyond Good and Evil. He says, the value of a thing sometimes does not lie in by which one attains it, but in what one pays for it, what it costs us. I'll give an example. Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained. Later on they are worse and more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions. Their effects are well known enough. They undermine the will to power, they level mountain and valley, and they call that morality. They make men small, cowardly, and hedonistic. Every time, it is the herd animal that triumphs with them. Liberalism, is herd animalization. People who had some value, who attained value, never attained it under liberal institutions. It was great danger that made something of those people.
Common to all trans instances is the insistence of self before others. It’s selfish and that means any others will have to suffer along with the trans person. Selfishness is not a gift to anyone.
Love your resilience. Thank you for sharing this grim story opening up yet another of the great harms this ideology causes. Why are we so unmoored these days that so many people succumb to these pernicious, so obviously absurd, ideas... and so many others about race, climate and on and on?
Thanks for your thoughtful response. Love to your family, including your son, as well:) I agree with your thoughts about our young men fearing adulting responsibilities. My husband is definitely a workaholic and I can’t say I blame our 2 sons from wanting to escape his lifestyle, if that’s how they perceive man responsibilities. I’ve wondered where we went wrong, but it’s multi-faceted. It’s not our faults. The agenda is in the airways and our technology has betrayed us and our children, as strangers with nefarious intentions or selfish ambitions have entered our world through the www. Our older son is being groomed via VR right now and I have little power, as he’s living in a college dorm away from home. I can’t imagine what challenges are ahead for us with AI capabilities. Our middle son started the trans quest first. We keep in touch often, but they are stubborn and argue that affirmation is the equivalent of acceptance and love. Maybe I should follow my best friend’s advice not to give the topic any energy. At this point, I’m blue in the face with my warnings and attempts to educate and persuade both of them. It’s time to try something new since that approach isn’t working. I wonder how the feminist movement has had an effect on our young men. Men aren’t given much encouragement and have little experience courting ladies, dating and kissing. Those experiences are so formative in relationships. Your family is in my prayers and I hope your son comes home soon too. Sending love from afar..
This might be even worse for those poor kids than being trans themselves... I don't even know anymore. The world has gone truly mad. God help us all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow! Just wow! There are no words for this kind of evil. I am so sad for those boys and their mom. Thank goodness they have her and they have you. I pray they can grow to be resilient despite what they have been through.

Does their father want to be more involved in their lives, or does he seem satisfied with the status quo?
He probably just wants them as validation props.
Prayers for you and your grandsons. So sad.

Thank you for showing yet another dimension of pain and loss that gender ideology does to families. It is so sad.
I too am grateful for this platform to share our stories. Thank you PITT.

Great Mom and loving Grandfather to provide a male role model
Wishing best for your two grandsons
Good on you, for being strong. Sadly, your boys don't have a father but in this case, you had no choice. I wish all the best for the three of you.
So very sad. The victims of this cult just keep mounting up. We have to keep fighting back.
How awful. Poor kids!
Heartbreaking and maddening! Those poor boys and I can’t even imagine what their mom is going through 💔

Before my own daughters became seduced by the cult, my first indication that mental illness was behind all this was from Bruce Jenner.
I agree. I lost friends over that one who called him 'brave' as he accepted awards meant for women. No.
