Transgenderism is clearly a religion. Jesus rose from the dead. A man can become a woman. Both are examples of a kind of magical thinking protected in the US by the First Amendment as is my belief as an atheist that they are religious nonsense.
Wow...I thought we had a difficult road but yours is multiplied...Stand on the TRUTH... Biological and Biblical...I have multiple degrees... Taught at the college level and in a psychiatric hospital...Yet have been blindsided by the enormous increase of this insane ideology...I wish we could talk privately... But know this I believe in a God who hears and answers prayers ..He tells us when we have done all we can just stand and wait!🙏
Youth are often blinded by the wisdom that comes from age. The devastation unfolding is perhaps more insidious and wicked from days yore. I pray the scales fall from your loved ones eyes and all of those touched by this.
Thats very hard. As a mother of a trans identified person in their 20s. I’m not allowed to use the name i gave them. My parents in their 80s however do & it “tolerated” ! Keep praying god will get us all out of this lie
He IS going to get us out of this lie! Many prophets are speaking about it. It is all intertwined with the child sex trafficking evil that has been going on forever. The story is huge and only God can fix this!
I pray God gives you the courage and confidence to continue to trust in Him and His truth, while the enemy tries to destroy your faith. I’m praying for you and all the parents and families who could write the same story. I live with it daily with my 16 year old precious daughter.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. In all things give thanks for this is the will of God.
Yes, this is a safe space for family who don't conformed to twisted views of reality. Grandparents usually are neglected too. Take courage we are living in a up side down world.
Thank you for sharing your story. Prayers for wisdom and strength as you navigate this and more importantly prayers for those in your family taken in by the lie that they'll know the truth and it will set them free!
Hello. As a sister in Christ, I know not to pour fuel on the anger at your children, none of us need that. We know that the evil one is behind all of this. I’ve seen the smartest, most levelheaded people taken in by transgender ideology. I know so well what it’s like for people to think you’re immature, stupid and cruel for having common sense. It’s a topsy turvy world.
My husband and I are the ones who aren’t affirming our child, but our PARENTS (also in their 70’s) are. Yes, the grandparents (and aunts and uncles are cousins) are affirming and even funding it. It’s so heartbreaking and isolating. We all still have a decent relationship but it’s only because no one talks about the “transgender elephant in the room.” And it’s bound to happen sooner or later, that we will have to clearly state that we do not co-sign this madness, and just as my husband and I have lost friends over this, we will likely lose the support of our siblings and parents, because they believe the narrative, see our child as an oppressed minority (a status that she really craved, so much attention!) and don’t want to be “on the wrong side of history.”
Hang in there, the love and peace of Christ be with you.
Ah, yes. The "right and wrong sides of history". Not to mention, the "Moral Arc of the Universe". How can one choose to NOT be on the right side when it's all so clear and inevitable?
Your daughter is also mature enough to change her thoughts on the transgender lie! But it’s probably not worth your breath to try to convince her.
As far as your grandson goes, arguing won’t help, they just dig in deeper. But you can try to make him comprehend the very real health problems cross sex hormones can / will cause. Tell him that you are coming from a place of love, of wanting to protect him. Because whoever prescribed those hormones, likely did NOT go into detail on the dangerous side effects.
Lastly, they have a right to pick a new name and pronouns, and you have a right not to use them. Who says their feelings have to trump yours? That’s what I told my own daughter.
So YOU "should be mature enough to change your thoughts" on this subject? HA! That's comedy gold, and a new one for me. Please don't fall for that line for a second. Actually, your daughter and her pastor husband should be "mature enough" to actually parent their children, and not allow them to destroy themselves and their futures! This sort of thing always reminds me of the father at a school board meeting who defended his son's trans delusions. He said that he allowed his son to lead the way (since the child always somehow knows what's true), immediately AFTER saying the whole business was a minefield! Parents have gone AWOL.
Dearest Grandmother, I am so sorry for what you are going through, all this horrible ideology is so hard to understand. How did it get to such a place in our society? How have Christian people gotten enmeshed in such evil? It has been going on 12 years since my youngest grandson from my youngest son started on this vile journey. My husband was dying when "Buddy" tried to explain what he was doing, that he was "born in the wrong body". We had no idea what he was talking about. My beloved husband passed away in 2014, after telling our grandson that he didn't begin to understand but that he would always love "Buddy". Since that time, 2 more of our grandchildren have decided they have the same problem; all 3 of them underwent abuse and abandonment in their childhoods resulting in mental health issues (along with their autism). My son, the father of all 3 with 3 different women, (and with his own mental illness) has blocked me from his life, and his children have done the same. All my grandchildren are young adults and have lived this lie for years now. Though I may not be able to see my family, I can still pray and I can tell the truth. My continuing prayers are for the outpouring of how wrong this belief system is will completely blanket the world. The whole premise is insane, and evil. No woman will ever become a man, and no man will ever become a woman, no drug or surgery will ever change the facts of life. The people who are still pushing these lies onto our children and our young ones will have to face reality hopefully soon, as more truth than ever before is coming forth. We, as the parents, as the grandparents, as loving family members and friends will be here with open arms to help put shattered lives back together. Lord, may it be soon. Amen. Love, Indio
I am not a baptised Christian, but I have found much strength and solace in prayer as our daughter went down the trans path.
That’s rough.
My mom, a professed believer, is similar to your kids.
Our eldest daughter told us she’s trans five years ago. It has been a rough ride to say the least.
After we found out she was taking T, I wrote a letter to our family, explaining the harms, and asking them to reach out if they disagreed.
It caused division, and my mom has been relatively silent on the issue. It feels like a betrayal, as I’m sure it does with your kids.
It’s sad, but if we can’t stand on truth then everything else is at risk.

Even Heavenly Father has reared children who rebelled against His teachings.
Isaiah 1:2
A Message for Rebellious Judah
2 Listen, O heavens! Pay attention, earth!
This is what the Lord says:
“The children I raised and cared for
have rebelled against me.
