The impact on others is never addressed because trans is a fundamentally narcissistic ideology. Anyone who raises questions is “phobic” and must be immediately and publicly cancelled. The trans-identified person is the star of their own story; all other family members must submit to their narrative that they are now their true self, which means all relationships from before transition cannot be tolerated if those individuals don’t comply. I know too many people devastated by this rewriting of history and relationships.

Hello! I’m the daughter of a transsexual and I’ve written a lot on this subject, at childrenoftransitioners.org and I also speak in the film Behind the Looking Glass on YouTube. As parents of ROGD kids know, you are encountering a system where being trans is a protected status, and having a ‘queer’ family is seen as something you must affirm and celebrate. So it’s difficult to get objective therapy and the US org for children (Colage) is very pro-trans and calls kids ‘queerspawn’. There is a concerning lack of safeguarding, including for the poor babies used by trans-identified men who want to lactate. There are lots of perspectives from female partners of men who transition at transwidowsvoices.org too.

I am in touch with therapists who can offer unbiased help to young people affected by this issue :-)
