This hits home. I have a ruby baby too, with the prettiest blue-gray eyes. But she was a later 80s baby and reached adulthood without having to navigate this toxic field laden with land mines and booby traps.

She is a pretty, straight, feminine woman who pursued a career in a blue-collar, male-oriented field. If you looked at a picture of her, the last thing you would think is that this woman is working successfully in the trades.

I often think what would have happened to her if she pursued this same path today, which she started in high school. Would she have been whisked away from her family, told she was really a boy, put on either hormones or blockers, and groomed to be a boy by people who see themselves as smarter than parents and loved ones?

It is unthinkable to me that people would so cavalierly break the parent-child bond and destroy that relationship, not to mention destroying the healthy bodies of children.

I shudder to think. This breaks my heart. I often am close to tears when I read these stories. It could have been any of us if you simply move the window ahead to this time period. I am so sorry. These losses are incalculable.

I watched this video today and noticed some similarities in this man's stories to those of parents here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmVnmZICzb8

Parents need to be aware.

Heart breaking and so very true. Praying for your girl and for all our loved ones so lost.

God, please help us all to see reality in our beloveds once again. Amen.

Love, Indio.

Serious question: By "cut herself", does that mean only in the sense of so-called "self-injury"? The "whitened wrists" seems to support that idea. But, in the context of this substack, are you ALSO meaning she was "surgically transitioned" as "trans"? Either is a painful, awful option.... Thank-you for sharing this truth here, may God continue to bless you, and may you find some peace of mind....

If you read carefully, both cutting and trans ideas are implied. They go hand in hand often.

Depression, self harm, and self hatred often lead those kids to the trans ideology, which tells them that all their emotional problems are due to being in the wrong body. And that transitioning will solve them.

It’s amazing how many symptoms are shared between trans ideology and personality disorders such as Borderline. These are vulnerable young people being taken advantage of by a tiny but cruel mentally ill cult.

And I have heard that the people who push trans ideology TARGET these children, which of course only makes a bad situation worse.... Thank-you, Simone.
