Your sons childhood - so similar as my son's, yet at 18 - knew he was a female. He was captain of the BOYS tennis team the year before!

Same experience here. It has taken me almost 4 years to come to a true understanding of what is really going on. I have screenshots of our sons deep online posts to show people who want to attack us and our willingness to stand for truth. When I share them, they have no words. Shuts them up instantly. It's not as the cult would have you believe, friends. It's the exact opposite. Don't believe everything you see online. Most of our kids have very hidden online presences that use very bizarre handles on order to hide. That is where the truth comes out in their hearts.

My story is similar to this. 3 weeks ago my son told me he wanted to be a girl. He is 15 y old, and I’ve never seen a sign that he could have such ideas. Never in hobbies, color choises, toys or behavior. He likes computer, gaming and animals. There might have been some bullying from other boys, but he won’t talk about it. He is into Minecraft and he is on Discord, and I believe some of the trans influences originates from these sources. I’m really depressed, afraid and in sorrow. Not sure how this will end. His sibling says she will move out if he continues this way. Im afraid my family will suffer greatly because of this ideology. Reading some of these comments gives me hope and keeps me fighting.

Yes, Discord is part of Internet hell, for sure

With a few changes, this could be our story - Thomas the Tank Engine, trains, all vehicles, and sadly, video games. We limited computers/video games to one hour a day weekdays and a bit more on weekends. In hindsight, I would have never let them in the house. He's 34 and we didn't have anywhere near the access to all things electronic when he was growing up that we have today. It's frightening and parents need to get all these electronic devices out of the house (said as I text on my electronic device....) It won't be easy but I have friends who did it and their kids are all the better for it. I was home with my kids - the one thing I wouldn't change - and 2 out of 3 are doing great, but at times I chose lazy parenting by allowing more TV than I should have. Oh yes, and either homeschool or send your kids to private Christian schools. Learn from this parent's mistakes.

Similar here but we homeschooled our son entirely and he still ended up in the bowels of Internet hell once he moved out at 21. Homeschooling is certainly better but never a guarantee.

Thank you for sharing this here. My daughter decided at around 30 years that she would transition. Although I was surprised & mortified I should have seen it coming, She has been in relationship with a trans "man" for approx 5 years & they moved to Canada from Australia because it was more "trans friendly" I was told.

Not long ago I sent her a card along with all her baby & young child photos. She thanked me for not misgendering her because I called the photos of her "young child" & "baby".

As if she or anyone could refer to hers as a baby & young child as a he/they is absurd. I have a few phots of her around the house. One of her on Christmas morning at 2 years ,wearing her fairy outfit. The other on holiday at around 13 in a cute strapless dress with her hair braded. History cannot be erased especially in our memories & our hearts. We sent all her belongings to her a few years ago & I guess she has disposed of them. I don't need receipts when I have the truth on my side & she well knows it & that's why there is no contact now!!

Very thoughtful but you don't understand that the "trans" thing is growing exponentially. In the past it was just a mental condition called Gender Dysphoria and you send your kids to a therapist that ALSO KNEW that it was a mental condition or sometimes called body dissociation, but nowadays it has became political in spite of that always was a spiritual thing and still is. Now one parent here last year wrote about how some video games are influencing young people, in a way indoctrinating them into believe that we can be "someone else" as it is in the video games, that you became somebody else and sometimes a different gender. So more and more young people and not so young are living a double life of fantasy and spend hours hooked up to those video games, virtual words where they can scape but when they come back to the reality of their lives they find that still are them and some maybe decided to change that also. This father wrote all about it and his research and I think he mentioned D&D.

This growing problem is not so simple but has multidimensional levels, from personal to societal but I think the worst is the pressure of the society and the normalization of it.

We have the same receipts for our daughter. Despite this, it's insane how some family members will recall one or two "gender non-conforming" instances and use those to claim that our daughter showed signs at an early age.

For example, she pretended to be a dog and lifted her leg to pee on a fire hydrant when she was 4 or 5. I ask: has any kid, of either sex, ever pretended to be a female dog peeing? If so, how do they do it?

It's social media, the monetary-medical complex, therapy, and an unwillingness to speak truth and hold people accountable that have worked together to draw our kids into this hellhole.

I appreciate when people say it isn't my fault, but I will never not be able to think, "If I had just done X, what might have been?"

In the meantime I pray for an end to this madness, and for an end to the permanent harm being done to our kids.

Same! I still have the trains and cars. And I’m not a girly mom. So don’t tell me kiddo that you’re a girl because you now claim you like pink and try nail polish, insinuating that I am not female because I don’t like pink and wear nail polish.

I’m a woman because I pushed you out of places only a woman and have. And I wiped your parts only a male can have.

But yes, yes you were ALL boy. If anything I should have been “trans!”

I liked playing in the dirt and hung out with the boys, I hate dresses and jewelry, high heels and flower patterns. I’d rather build a fort than play Barbie’s. So how do you explain your identity theory for me?

Drives me insane. 🤪

So many of our teen/YA boys were gender CONFORMING. They are sensitive, gifted, introverted, and probably high in neuroticism. If psychology really cared about what is going on with all these kids declaring "trans" identities, they would be conducting studies trying to get to the bottom - how many were abused, groomed online, algorithm induced, school, peers. Such a shame therapy has been captured.

Snap, I have another one of those boys, Thomas the tank engine, Bob the builder, står wars, Lego, Minecraft, dungeons & dragons etc etc. And then trans. No sense at all.

Please know that it's not about your childrearing or any decisions you made about your children. It's absolutely not.

It's about adult groomers online grooming innocent kids into a cult.

It's about schools grooming innocent kids into a cult.

It's about the extraordinary hold on our zeitgeist that has been gained by a cult.

And it's about the shocking reach of this financial lobby and how far they got in secret, before we all started realizing they were dragging our kids into a cult.

This sounds so much like my son and his story: obsessed with Brio track building, lined up cars, then Lego. He made stop action videos with his Lego figures to depict the creation story, with background music, at 9-10 years old. Nerdy, amazing memory, avid reader, made computers, jump started a friend's mother's car at 8 yrs old. Loved cats, his dog, schooled horses, had jobs, gifted pianist, but no organized sports. After a PhD and in medical school, he experienced not fitting in, isolation......then after graduation, as an angry bitter man, he decides to transition to female and rewrote his narrative. He now tries to fit in with lesbian females. He is neuro-divergent, he will never fit into average and typical, and the underlying bitterness and hurt remains.

I could have written this...My son's childhood was very similar. I think the lies he has told everyone about his childhood is part of the reason he does not want us in his life because we know the truth and we challenge him we he insists he does not have ROGD. He was not athletic though he played little league and basketball when he was small. He was on the robotics team. He loved trains. We sent a wonderful young man off to college and what we received back after 4 years was a depressed angry self involved "woman". It breaks my heart that so many families have been destroyed by this cult. I have hope that one day he will see there are many different ways to be a man.

So depressing that this is what they put their brains & energy into & that they have zero tolerance of their ‘stoopid’ parents. The doctors aren’t the enemy, we are.

I like "different parents, same son."

I remember sitting so long next to the train tracks with my son (because the commuter rail runs so rarely on the weekends, and he wouldn't leave until he saw the train) that the police drove by to see if we were all right.

I remember before my son could talk, when he was a baby, he cried in a restaurant, and he never cried. I asked the waitress to turn on the ceiling fan. Somehow I understood he was distressed because he thought it was broken.

My son got over his trans delusion. I hope yours will too.
