And .. wow - "species affirmation" for "species dysphoria" is next. Tails and all. Heard about this from Bret & Heather's most recent Dark Horse Podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdPoSyXVdFg

Any-kind-of-transformation is a human right. And if anyone isn't able to access these sure-to-have-serious-complications-besides-being-in-denial-of-reality-medical-interventions ... insert threat of doing it themselves and link to psychology of abortion rights.

The tone is a bit hostile. I understand that inclination because I'm in the same situation, but I don't think it is helpful.

Dear Tom in Denver. This is published on PITT and the audience is largely other parents of children caught up in this. The author is venting. Anger is allowable. Anger is appropriate. If your child ends up on hormones like mine, you might regret the tactful approach and opt for voluble anger.

the "study" "Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition" is used as propaganda to counter the 11 studies that found 65-95% of kids grow out of gender dysphoria with puberty, if unmedicated and, i believe, not socially transitioned.

but this " study" isnt proof of anything. for one, the kid participants werent old enough for puberty, hence not at a age where most desist. 2nd, many of the participants already were taking gender meds. its known once they take the meds theyre not as likely to desist in the short term. same goes for social transition. 3. the "study" didnt even ask if kids had gender dysphoria. that alone makes the study moot. ppl who believe gender transition is simply an arbitrary choice ignore the evidence of harmful long term effects. for example, amsterdam says those on the "care" have 50% reduced life expectancy. 4. this "study" has high participation bias. parents pushing their kid into gender transition know a crisis awaits when kids go through puberty. these abusers want the gov to pay for millions required to alter their child permanently, at a time when kids cant consent. many of kids involved no longer have any contact with their parents years after, knowing their parents narcissism has damaged them permanantly.

Lots of sane parents are trying to get their children into the Catholic school system in Ontario. The top 50 academic results are also in the Catholic schools and its not because of any selection bias in students. Non catholic kids are welcome if they have extra room and they do not insist that non catholic kids participate in any religious events. I would not let my kid near today's public schools.

"This is known as iatrogenesis: the treatment creates the condition." - Yes ... that is happening everywhere now ... and the amount of kids on the autism spectrum who are led to medical transition ... without realizing the iatrogenesis of autism ... https://tobyrogers.substack.com/p/the-political-economy-of-autism

Informed consent for tylenol and peppermints .. and not for hormones, surgeries .. or, other medical interventions pushed as safe and effective ...

The hypocrisy is astounding ...

Thank you for this information. I’m thankful I’m not the only one in this difficult journey. My 12 year old daughter is allowed to use the men’s restroom and her school and is called a male name by her teachers and so called friends. I met with the Administration and her teachers and begged them not to allow this, but was told it was her right and they legally couldn’t stop her. I wonder what is my right as a Christian parent? It breaks my heart to know she is using a men’s restroom and I shutter to think what else that the school is allowing or encouraging that I have yet to learn. My daughter is old enough to make these choices as a 12 year old, but I had to sign permission before a peppermint would be given if she needed it for her throat.

I think parents have to get really angry and protest loudly! I tried talking to my ex daughter-in-law who would be thrilled if my grandchildren were to become transgender and said as much on FB. I tried talking with her about it, but she refuses to even discuss, full-stop! Parents and teachers who haven't fallen for transgender need to really make their voices heard and those that can need to home-school their kids or send them to Christian schools. I know of several parents who are doing these things; they're desperate! Sure, puberty is no picnic but it's even worse to remove or adding genitals and put developing bodies on unhealthy hormones and steroids for the rest of their lives. I'm thankful that we have teens and young adults detransitioning and telling their stories to the world.

I already wrote and sent my letter, and am acquainted with the school’s advisers on their trans regulation. I think showing them that there are alternative policies out there that still champion diversity and inclusion could be beneficial.

I am so sorry that you are going through this, thank you for sharing. My children were all born in the 1990s so I and they escaped the danger of my misguided liberalism about gender. I thought gender roles were bad, children should be encouraged to dress, play and learn free of gender roles. Now I see that my liberalism and my children’s malleability could have been used to direct them down the path of rejecting their bodies. In previous generations, my MIL has revealed that as a child she insisted on wearing boys clothes and having a boy’s name; she went on to have a very happy 64 year marriage and children and is still going strong in her 80s. What state would she be in if she’d embarked on a lifetime of sterility and medical treatment? People who are gender critical or conservative are accused of being uncaring, but I do care about every child or young adult who is seduced by this terrible ideology.

WHERE IS ALL OF THIS HEADED?

“Climate Change”, “Gay Rights”, “Transgenderism”, “Gun Control”, Big Vaccine, Single-Payer Health Care, Abortion, and the Leftist’s pro-Islam stance are all manifestations of implementing the NEW WORLD ORDER, ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, and AGENDA 21. They want the world population reduced by 80% to what they believe is a “sustainable” Five Hundred Million, thus killing off 7.1 billion people! It is all part of Population Control that the New World Order wants to achieve.

Ever notice how Climate Change. Gun Control, Abortion, Gay Rights, Transgenderism, the latest emanation of “Obama Care” and protecting the Vaccine Industry are some of the Leftist’s favorite ‘causes’? They are designed to reduce or partially eliminate the next generation! Gun Control is designed to eliminate any effective opposition when the NWO take-over is attempted.

From gay marriage to so-called “Global Warming” to mass migration into Western nations by people who intend to destroy every aspect of who and what we are as a people, our history, our culture, and our nation of laws. And mostly, of course, destroy our individual rights.

Gays, as a rule, do not have children, Transsexuals CAN’T have children after they have become sterilized. Whimpey Snowflakes have Whimpey children. Idiots and Leftists (yes, I repeat myself) should not be capable of reproduction!

However, with all this homosexualism, transgenderism, and abortion... they are doing a bang-up job of it themselves!

I will leave you to ponder this quote from Microsoft’s Bill Gates who OWNS along with Fauci several Vaccine Manufacturing companies, their fingers are into Pfizer and Moderna. Gates has always preached, he wants “Population Control”. And is a known proponent of the New World Order… The NWO wants to REDUCE the world’s population to around 500 million, thus killing off or eliminating 7.1 BILLION people!

“The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on NEW VACCINES, HEALTH CARE, REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES, we could LOWER that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” – Bill Gates (emphasis added)

(...that I (Bill Gates) and George Soros have highly invested in and will make Trillions of dollars!)

(Hmmmm… I thought that vaccines were supposed to help people stay healthy, not kill them!)

You forgot fluoridation of drinking water!

https://youtu.be/J67wKhddWu4

Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and genital surgeries on children are weird enough. Maybe stick to the basics here.

👏🏻🤣

All kidding aside though, fluoride really isn't good to be added into our drinking water. 😂 There's not even a benefit by being ingested. We have no less tooth decay than countries who don't have fluoridated water.

It accumulates in the body and causes calcification of the pineal gland and other tissues. You can't control the dosage because different cities add different amounts, different ppl drink different amounts, bodies absorb and excrete different amounts, etc. And no health agency is monitoring this. It is the state forcibly drugging ppl. And the fluoride they're putting in the water is largely come from the wet scrubbing systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry. It is classified as hazardous waste that they would have to pay a ton of money to dispose of...except they sell it to cities to put in our water instead.

It causes dental and skeletal fluorosis.

Effects melatonin production

Damages the kidneys, brain, etc.

It can increase lead uptake and leaching of lead from pipes.

It really goes on and on. But that did crack me up. Haha. Oh, and this is coming from someone who only drinks water. City water. Lol I grew up on great well water. I do miss it. Lol

You are so RIGHT!

FLUORIDE is so corrosive that special equipment is required to store it.

It is an industrial waste product that eats holes in concrete, dissolves metal and human flesh, but it’s OK to add to our drinking water?

Fluoride causes apathy; it is the main ingredient of the chemical compound fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac, anti-depressant).

Fluoride makes your body absorb extra aluminum.

“Where does this extra aluminum go? Your BRAIN! What metal shows up alarmingly in the brains of Alzheimer’s Victims? You guessed it!” – Dr. William Douglas, MD

(and also, Autistic patients)

Other prime sources of Aluminum are vaccinations.

(Other dementia-causing heavy metal toxins include lead, cadmium, mercury, copper, and tungsten.)

Could it be the Fluoride Connection?

Fluoride is an industrial Hazardous Waste (HAZMAT) product.

(A) Fluoride is usually diluted into the tap water in large cities.

(B) Many people in large cities vote Democrat.

(C) Many people who vote Democrat are known as “Low Information Voters”

(D) DemonRats are the Party of the Big Cities, it must be something in the Big City Water, like fluoride, that causes their brains to deteriorate!

https://anh-usa.org/fluoride-dangers-new-evidence

Is the “Solution to Pollution” Dilution?

If you REALLY want fluoride, the best delivery methods would be direct application by a dental professional, or as an optional ingredient in certain targeted consumer goods, like toothpaste, mouthwash, soft drinks, and salt, instead of millions of gallons of fluoride diluted into tap water.

Think of all the many things you use tap water for: bathing, washing dishes and clothes, watering plants and lawns, aquariums, filling pools and radiators, etc.

How is a dilution of fluoride beneficial for those uses?

It’s not… fluoride is an industrial Hazardous Waste, that the fluoride producers have “legally” sold at a profit to city water companies, instead of paying for safe Hazardous Waste (HazMat) Disposal.

By adding to tap water the fluoride producers “dispose” of millions of gallons of HazMat rather than just a few hundreds of gallons by adding as an optional ingredient to targeted consumer goods.

No, I just did not include it, just like a hundred other things I did not include.

So, you believe that "WHERE IS ALL OF THIS HEADED?" is not important to understand?

If so, just paint your windshield black!

Mama Ain't Playin''s avatar

I used to believe the narrative that parents were terribly transphobic, so that's why secrecy was needed. I used to comply with my kids' friends when they'd request bespoke pronouns and neo-identities when they'd come over to our house. Then ROGD happened to one of my kids--and I was immediately ashamed at my previous beliefs that *other* parents were "so intolerant," but lookee here, I was SO "VIRTUOUS" AND ACCEPTING of these kids.

What a gullible fool I was.

The only people who truly believe in the myth of the horrible, dreadful, transphobic parents are either childless young teachers, or parents whose kids haven't yet fallen prey to this cult. Most people, if you ask them to think about this for more than 10 seconds, see things our way, and then they REALLY want to talk about everything they've been seeing and hearing for the past 6-7 years, but didn't know they were permitted to have any skepticism or to ask any questions.

Yes, these young teachers are victims of social media, mass media, government, institution, corporate brainwashing. These forces now include most of our public and private educational systems. They try to indoctrinate and own our kids.

Well written and data based completely. I wish I had recognized when these Villian educators amputated my relationship with my child.

I now have to think that they knew all along what they were doing because they are trained this way, then indoctrinated on an annual basis by their respective sept of educations, and finally supported politically.

They are heartless to our grief

Dan, you are right! I would love to see every devastated parent take this basic format and write their school administrators and teachers a similar letter, changing the details so that their letter tells their family’s story.

If your son or daughter graduated, but the school played a role, tell them!

My daughter’s school did not budge a millimeter, but you can believe that you tube influencers and the faceless voices on Doll Divine and Archive of Our Own held up “supportive” schools as PROOF that transition was the only moral choice.
