“For the “Traditional Psychology” school of thought, see anything published before 2010”

Thanks for the laugh with my coffee. The speed at which trans took over is frustrating and astonishing. Young people today simply don’t have the experience of a (recent!) world where transgenderism was restricted to weird cross dressing men. And no one thought they were truly “women”.

Now, I could be fired from my job for even suggesting that a full grown male with a penis doesn’t have some sort of newly discovered “right” to hang out in the women’s room.

I was up in the wee hours with heartache. My 31 year old son, "true trans", is staying in my home with his biological female "queer/non-binary" long term girlfriend. I call her she, rather than they/them. My son doesn't correct me. I avoid pronouns for him- he is afflicted & fragile. Girlfriend makes a point of unnecessarily referring to my son as she, and corrects any family member who happens to slip- or outwardly objects. He had a suicidal episode early this year. The reason given by him was, "you won't help me transition". Indeed, beloved firstborn, and only son, because I love you unconditionally, and will not aid in your destruction. He has every marker in the "traditional psych" school of thought. But will only seek "gender affirming care".

(I realize I am "lucky" not to be estranged, but this is literally too close to home- my adrenals are weak & I'm physically not ok)

Thank you for being here this mourning. And to all the mothers, fathers, sisters & brothers, I feel your unbearable & unacknowledged pain.

Always praying ♡♡♡
