I am with you! I know now because I am an old woman and I saw too much that there is not justice in this Earth but I believe in hell, I believe in eternal or divine punishment if not I would do the deed myself. I missed the old ways to take justice in your own hands, take the people to the forest and make them accountable for ruining the lives of your kids. I am not advocating violence of any kind but justice, in the other hand that is a very personal decision but I think that it would deterrer doctors in being so for-coming about making those treatments available to anybody. Still I believe that parents have a speck of responsibility in the lack of common sense, mainly in believing that drugs have not side effects, specially in the states that we have ads about medicine and in all those ads they stated very clear all the side effects so to believe that a drug that stopped natural development in a human being, a very strong drug must be so to believe that will be without side effects is beyond naive, maybe a person who lives very isolate and without TV that doesn't know anything about pharmacopeia but probably that person would never need a hormone to stop growing and would think that idea absurd. And the second thought is about parents' authority, a parent always should know better how to guide their children because in general parents are adults so when your kid comes and ask us-can we drink beer?- and he is 6 years old we as parents know enough to say no, or if they do not want to go to school anymore because they prefer to play video games the whole day. What did happen with the response to _I think I am a boy instead of a girl_ scenario? It shouldn't be different-no my dear, you are confused. Of course that the reaction of the parents have to be different according to the age of the child, but it is the easiest when they are 3 years old to 10 years old, they don't know nothing at all about life, general speaking, there are some ten years old that have been through a lot and had lost their innocence or trust. After 10 and starting the teens years things get a little more complicated parents need to become more sophisticate in their approaches specially when society is our enemy and be more watchful of what our children are watching, listen to or who are their heroes or friends and still it could be difficult but the best policy in my opinion is to be assertive and be clear in the truth that a person can have all the treatments and surgeries and look like the opposite sex but they will never convert to the opposite sex because that is biological impossible, and the fact that a person who stopped with all the hormones returned to his or her natural biological reality (a damaged one but still) is enough proof that we can bend nature to certain extend but not transformed or changed it, the natural world has its own laws and they are defined and immutable. Doctors have to focus in heal the minds and find the origin of the gender discomfort or confusion instead they affirm and add to the confusion and that is immoral. At least ask the question _Dr X, can you assure me that my son will be perfectly fine with the treatment that you suggest and that he or she will not have side effects or commit suicide? And can you write that out in paper?-

I assure you that not doctor would do that as the same happened with the Covid vaccine as I questioned the doctor if he could assured me that I would not get Covid if i had the vaccine, of course he said that he couldn't because that information was unknown and it was too new and they didn't have enough data, common sense, ask the hard questions, it is your right!!

"So no, I don't forgive you. It's far too little, and way too late. Step up and fix it. You have the power and ability to do so."

Completely agree. These therapists and physicians are completely unethical. I wish they would all lose their licenses to practice AND be criminally prosecuted. But I know it'll never happen.

Someday, when this insanity is over, all these people will crawl quietly back into the woodwork and act like none of this ever happened. They'll also hope we'll forget. But we won't.

Diary of an Estranged Mum's avatar

I'm furious that I've lost my relationship with my daughter to the outrageous propaganda machine that is transgender activism, held up and justified by WPATH.

I'm horrified that my very traumatised and vulnerable daughter BELIEVED the propaganda so deeply that she made her entire personality about "being trans", BELIEVED that she would commit suicide if she couldn't access testosterone and surgery.

I'm devastated. And I'm furious.

More studies are useless. Didn’t the UK grant hospitals to offer gender affirming “care” on minors so we could study it. Why don’t we just listen to the ones trying to undo the horror show inflicted upon them. If we have to listen, believe and affirmative action 10 year olds wanting to transition without question. Certainly, we should believe the young adult detransitioners when they say they made an error and given improper care.

This is excellently written. How was I, as a simple parent and not a healthcare professional, able to find out the trauma of sex reassignment, the permanence of the effects of hormones (that they KNEW of) and all the other negative effects long before the "experts" are finally backing off. It makes me sick

I just cam across this interview with Marci Bowers it’s only 11 months old. Warning it will make you very angry. He also blames detransitioners and said they should have done their homework. Also says he could have made a lot of money in Colorado is the darkness (people of faith) didn’t make him go to California.

I wrote this poem at 2:10 AM today to describe what it’s like being the mom of a gender-dysphoric child.

The lioness pursues her prey.

The vulture stole her cub away

and for this crime he’ll surely pay

forever and a hellish day.

The foolish cub, the victim here,

was too unwise to shed a tear

and too naive to gasp in fear

when hovering, evil shade appeared.

The youthful dupe, she had the gall

to be annoyed that she might fall

from the clutch of death’s dark squall

to her protector’s caring paw.

The child was saved, though desert heat

conspired with greed to love unseat

and halfway did its plot complete

when thwarted by love’s greatest feat…

a mother’s sacrifice.

Amazing, this was written four years ago, and it sounds like it fits into today's agenda. The WPATH experts are cowards. They will not stand up and tell the truth, or be honest that they made mistakes, or admit that they are not trans experts - because if they did, then they could stop this war on children immediately! I do not forgive them either. Shame on them, on all of them. Karma is coming. Accountability is coming. And hopefully, prison time is coming.

I wish I could agree that karma is coming. Alas, there's very little evidence in the history of the world for evil people getting their comeuppance.

I would love to see these perpetrators criminally prosecuted, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

"You said, “There's a little bit of 'yeah that's so cool. Yeah, I kind of want to do that, too'”. "

Now, there is a pull out line.

WPATH was a fringe group of loons at first. I used to think that "trans" began getting real traction around 2014, but now I believe that the disordered were working for at least 10 years before that to take down real doctors/medicine who did not agree to their demands.

Dr. Chester W. Schmidt replaced Dr. McHugh (see https://couragerc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/TransgenderSurgery.pdf) as director of the Department of Psychiatry for Johns Hopkins Medicine. Dr. Schmidt is on record as not being a "GAC" true believer:

"“Some people consider it mutilating. And, of course, the scientific side of it is pretty damn weak,” said Chester Schmidt, M.D., one of the founders of the Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine."

I believe there was a long and concerted effort by the loons to take people like them down:

"“Chester William Schmidt, Jr. (born 1934) is an American psychiatrist, one of several people at Johns Hopkins involved in the repression of trans people through psychiatry.”" from pro-loon site:

“Chester W. Schmidt, Jr. vs. transgender people”

https://www.transgendermap.com/issues/psychiatry/chester-w-schmidt-jr/

Of course, doctors like Schmidt and McHugh are not against their patients. They want actual care rather than giving into the mentally disordered demands.

Those podcasts are a tough listen. Of course they KNOW exactly what has been going on and yet they feign there is a way forward. WPATH's origins are the perverted founders of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association ('79). They began taking the darkest of Alfred Kinsey's (1940s) human sexuality studies/ perversions mainstream. The filth is now fully entrenched in all aspects of culture affecting the youngest in society. There is nothing redeemable about this farce of an organization that has attracted sick minds to further social engineering goals.

Judith Reisman and Quentin Van Meter have exposed the roots of the madness. The roots need to be killed for all its tentacles to loosen their grip on America's youth.

I’m not aware of any SCOTUS case that can affect malpractice law, which is state-level and also governed by the patient-doctor contractual relationship. That said, as the tide turns in the culture, juries are less likely to defer to fraudulent “standards of care.”

I was just speaking of this , this am. The Therapist with WPATH credentials looks so World renowned & "they" portray they are the experts even though deep inside our instincts scream something is not right. Yet, we are trying to figure out in real time what is happening, what do I do? All therapist & Doctors are pushing one sided and God forbid you have a different political opinion-what the consequences could be. The child & Therapist view the Parent as extremist and eventually "no contact"

When my husband was asked by his PCP about his emotional state, he confessed to feeling distressed about his daughter “transing” and the doctor wrote in his chart that he had adjustment disorder. This was upsetting to my husband, because he felt like it is a normal reaction to the situation, not a disorder. He has found a new doctor.

Same! My daughter’s “therapist” - highly recommended by the GP at our Family medical Clinic-gave me the details of a “group” to help ME accept my daughter’s transition. I was flabbergasted. She then saw my daughter once more and wrote her “the letter” to the Gender Clinic to start male hormones. My daughter turned 18 and she went straight onto testosterone. Impotent fury is one of the most difficult emotions to deal with. The best I could do was refuse to continue to pay for the Therapist’s exorbitant fees and send her a sarcastic email.🤬

I was afraid to speak or do anything and be taken out of context. The Doctor and staff encouraged the transition. I changed Doctor but they were mad I wouldn't allow any more vaccines. We had the worst Doctors, Psychologist, Therapist and Specialists. I didn't know where to turn. Just transition and get vaxxed all they wanted.

Brilliantly written. Awful, all of them. This entire thing is a sham that must be exposed. I just hope it is done in a way that people can’t point fingers at the current administration and call them bigots. This is a complete medical and psychological scandal that must be dealt with swiftly, but in today’s climate, the concern is that many will dig in deeper to protect trans rights. We need sanity and clear heads.

Everyone who opposes "gender affirmative care" will be called a bigot by gender cult members, and the current administration has already gotten a lot of that.

As we gather more power and evidence of harm perhaps the cult will lose its ability to destroy peoples' lives. I predict that the overwhelming majority of its mostly young members will move on from this fad to another one, like adolescents always do when the fashion gets old and boring. When that occurs, they will act like the previous drama never happened, because for them it won't matter anymore. It might be challenging to be able to keep a spotlight on all the injured people who are the collateral damage of what was a romp through the park for most of the perpetrators.
