Yes! That is the way you do it, calling parents in similar situations and organizing and make a lot of noise!1! Manifestations in front of clinics and government facilities, etc. Nobody want finger pointed at them and exposition. Make all them responsble for the well being or bad being of all the confused children out there>

Pitt@genspect.org, email Pitt here and they will connect us via email if that’s easier. The HiS email is his.ihcregulation@nhs.scot but there are other avenues we are exploring too.

This is great! Time for the great fight back! Scotland as a whole has remained far too quiet over this issue for far too long!

Well done and stay strong! Thank you for sharing your story. In South Africa we still have a long way to go, but we draw strength (and ideas) from you and this global community.

‘Illegal online’. I’m curious about this too. What are the rules…are these providers/aka dealers at risk. They don’t need any approval or is it the ubiquitous I’m over 18 & have given my informed consent model. And if they cause harm, any recourse for malpractice? What a mess…

You wrote “Injecting hormones acquired illegal online“.

This sounds very dangerous. Once involved with illegal drugs, your son’s dealer might lead him into different kinds of drugs. Drug dealers are known to have unreliable products. Dosages could be under or over stated, or be adulterated with other drugs or just plain toxins.

Exactly! But these kids don’t care! And nor do the suppliers.

Good for you!! Keep up the fight! The only way we'll turn this tide is if we stand up to the madness. We're in the U.S., but are stories are so similar (except you've demonstrated greater patience. I've lost my mind at this point - we're 10 years in.)

Together we can stop the insanity!

Glad to hear it! Hopefully it’ll be discredited and gone before your grand kids are at school.

Well said ,the author. I am Scottish and have been appalled, from the very beginning ,by the Scottish government's stance on this child mutilating nightmare. So far ,I am lucky as one of my family have been affected by this , but it's a constant worry that my great grandchildren could be indoctrinated in their schools. Wishing you all the very best of luck in your fight against this lunacy. God Bless ,x

I am so glad that your son was willing to tell you that he was taking estrogen - even if his source is questionable. I wish you all the best and I hope that he desists soon.

Of course, best wishes are not nearly enough to put a halt to this crime against this generation of children. We must keep exposing these charlatans for what they are.

I am sending you support from the USA. I hope and pray that many, many families in Scotland will join your fight. The truth needs to be told. Transgender is harming our children's health. God help us.
