I'm afraid there is no cure for autogynephilia, that's why many males will relapse even when they keep desisting

Many mtf trans do not have autogynephilia. There are many reasons for transitioning.

That’s a great letter. I sent a similar one, although not as kindly-worded as yours, 15 months ago. It led to a break in relationship with my mom, my only brother, and his wife. It’s also damaged my relation with my aunt and her kids (my cousins, the male who is a transvestite and the woman who is an ally).

I’m glad that you have made progress despite the lack of commitment from the kids.

This is not an easy journey, but you are not alone.

Blessings,

Mark

My daughter told me recently that my son (her brother) needs affirmation and she is willing to be that person to do so. She told me she’s sad that I’m too stubborn and unwilling to love my son unconditionally. My response? I do love him unconditionally, and that’s why I do not affirm his delusions. I will not lie to him, myself, or anyone else, because lying strips away all dignity, and I won’t do it. I know who I gave birth too. I know who I raised. I know who my son is, and he is not a woman. Those are facts. Plain and simple. She then said that those are my truths, not his. To which I responded, truth is truth. We don’t get to make up something and call it a truth. Playing make-believe is not truth. Pretending to be someone you are not is not truth.

I have had this same conversation with my son. He wants so badly for me to call him by his “chosen name” and refer to him as a female, and he knows why I will not. It’s not because of politics or religion, but because of simple logic, of which I will not compromise. He knows that when he no longer wants to sustain this unhealthy, fake lifestyle, I will have been the one who never wavered the truth. I will have been the one who ALWAYS loves him, no matter.

That’s unconditional love.

I hope you will write a follow up saying how people responded. How many did you write to?

Silly picture though it's a terrific article. Does raise fawns alone. The bucks don't get involved. So all the lawn ornaments depicting deer nuclear families are in error. If the doe has a boy deer, she runs him off when he becomes an adult. There you have it.

"Trans" persons are cought in a condition of no-thinking. They are immune against all the reasons. If they sense the danger of common sense, they only dive deeper. Identity should be protected at any cost. All who dont affirm will be cut off, mentally or physically. I dont know, wether they regret the lost connections, but no contact in their chats is a standart advice for the sin of misgendering and using birth names.

This is why I no longer feel admiration for desisters or detransitioners. The fact that they desist doesn’t change how cruel they were to us when they were in the trans phase. We have warned them at length. The truth is they put us through hell. Most of us parents have expressed concern and worry about their cult and got severely punished for it *by them*. After the true horrors we have been put through I see desisters and detransitioners who are still very narcissistic, many of them still don’t respect their parents. Even Keira Bell refuses to speak to her mother. There’s this awful woman Appleyard who hasn’t spoken to her poor mother for 14 years. They have no idea the hell they have put us through. This cult turns them into evil people. I need to move on. I can’t continue living like this. I can’t continue waiting for my daughter to see sense. I must live my life now

I do have compassion for every young person who got sucked into the cult. They are victims....all of us in their families are collateral damage.

Natalia's avatar

And when they are cruel and brutal to us?

Verzweifelte's avatar

They give us away to protect themselves. This is their free choice. Many of them have had other chances, but you only can help if help is accepted. So they are not victims but bullys.

Verzweifelte's avatar

Getting out of this cult doesnt mean automatically the healing. No person without severe problems jump on this train. Getting out just means that they can start healing. It takes time and effort, and public attention on them is good for us, but not automatically for the persons with extremly narcissistic past.

Humbleness is the most important thing they have to learn. It isnt a coincedence, that most of them are bright and gifted. Arrogance and superbity have played an evil part.

I agree *mostly* but I don't think that kids have to have severe problems to fall into this cult. It's like kids who ran away and joined the Moonies or the Branch Davidians. Maybe a vulnerable time, a really hard change, etc. Transition is offered as a "get out of jail free" card for many confused kids. When I was a teenager in the 90s, we smoked cigarettes, drank beer, wore all black, and had sex with people our parents hated. Not great, but fortunately the consequences were mild compared with lost fertility, cancer, and other gender mutilation surgeries.

Natalia's avatar

Absolutely. But I don’t blame any parent who wants out of this.

Verzweifelte's avatar

Yes. Blaming any parent who went barfoot through hell is beyond the measure of men.

Sally's avatar

I appreciate you sharing this letter. I will borrow it as a template for one for my daughter and change the medical info.

We too are deciding how to approach college knowing that she intends to mutilate her body. We too have been considering drug testing. Did your son ever take one? Where do you even find a gender critical therapist?

I learned from Stephanie Winn Some Therapist Podcast #223 The HIV Money Trail...that Open Societies aka George Soros and Bill Gates Foundation and USAID under Obama sent billions of dollars across the world accelerating Trans ideology under guise of "Harm Reduction". Trans is so destructive, I cannot think of anything more destructive that people do willingly to themselves like this, to me it is beyond terrible drug addiction, and Soros, Gates, USAID did this purposely is just outrageous. Listen to this podcast just infuriating...."Harm Reduction" another terrible idea that includes Drug addiction, Trans, AIDS, outrageous. And the messages are not, love your body as is, drugs are bad, promiscuous and unnatural sex acts may not be good for you, no, it is just the opposite!

diane's avatar

Yes, that Stephanie Winn podcast #223 was quite eye-opening. How trans ideology got $$$$$$$$$ in the global effort to eradicated HIV.

That was a fantastic interview. You’re only getting to half the horrors we learned. Rosin Michaux talked about how trans is all about recruiting young men to prostitute themselves as “chicks with dicks,” among whom there is a very high rate of HIV infection. The best way to get these guys into clinics to take PREP & other antivirals was to offer cross-sex hormones. So once again, more evidence that this is all about serving men’s disgusting erotic lives. Only in developing countries, it’s all about the chicks with divks, & not about the creation of a f-hole in a man’s body that will give him no pleasure.

Not sure which is worse but why choose.

Average Dad's avatar

Correct, that part is the horrific part of what they created along with Trans in general. We are told to follow the money around here so often, well the money to create enclaves around the world of chicks w/dicks to appease porn fueled sick perverted men came from Open Societies, Bill Gates Foundation and USAID thanks to Obama. It's just truly terrible and has captured so many of our children, I shudder to think of all the things my daughter has done willingly to herself to appease this evil, it's crushing. I also know that people can survive and bounce back from terrible things, so I hope that for all our children, turn off this Trans Road to hell, return to sanity, love yourself and do your best.

Natalia's avatar

Thank you for sharing your heart. I have warned my daughter of all of this so many times yet she hasn’t spoken to us for three years. How many times can we warn them? A part of me is telling me to step back. I must have another 30 years left in life God willing. I don’t want to spend that time panicking about what she is doing. We have warned them. What else can we do?

So powerfully written … the entire world needs to read this ❤️

Your picture says a thousand words. Sex is binary. What a great letter with the cold hard facts that cut through the madness. Glad you received the right response from your family.

Natalia's avatar

It’s a fabulous picture isn’t it? Well done 👏🏻
