Most recent conversation with my 30 YO FTM Prodigal daughter who is now bearded and breastless, on Testosterone for 9 years now.... What a cult! Pray for us all!

Dad and Mom: "You are welcome home anytime, you can come home and start over, leave the past behind, we welcome you, we would do anything to help you. Come home today, leave it all in the past, you can be restored, you can be resurrected, you can be loved, you can do this. We will take care of you."

Daughter: "You’ve used your last chance, I will be blocking your email now."

Some unknown human who got the email I sent my daughters response: "Don't send harassing emails to ppl who you have zero love or respect for, ESPECIALLY from a company email address. Enjoy your job while you still have it. Your email has been sent to HR. Don't be a dumbass and contact someone who doesn't want contact with you via your COMPANY EMAIL. You're transphobic and won't love or accept your SON for the amazing person HE is. Maybe don't be so stupid to use an email address you should only be using for work."

Trans has turned our sweet daughters into angry nutters, AND it has surrounded them with a phalanx of angry nutters.

They won't all become Audreys, but expect the statistical distribution of female violence to shift in the next few years.

Thank you for your testimony, Average Dad. This cult is monstrous.

My M to F adult young person told me calling on his/her birthday was harassment and he'd call the police and charge me with harassment. Last time we communicated.

This is so very wrong. So very, very wrong. It’s as if our children are sacrifices, I’m speechless

I am assuming you still have your job with the company email?

I am sorry you're going through this. We are on year 3 of estrangement and now 6 months into estrangement with ally son. It is a cult. Why people can't see that is beyond me.

Because unless it's happened to your kid, or you somehow learned the truth and haven't been brainwashed by liberal politics and the corporate media, you can't absorb what's happening every day to families. You don't want to believe it. It's too awful, too extreme, so you look away.

The deniers' assumption is that parents and gender-critical people are either lying or transphobic. Surely, the parents must have done something to alienate their children, because kids don't run away from home for no reason. Trans kids are suffering, and the parents are cruel and stubborn. See how it works? In the short run, it's frustrating to try to convince people who are steeped in virtue signaling.

But the information needs to get out into the world, because every day there's another parent whose eyes have been unfortunately opened.

Yes, well said. Normal people are not built to process a steady stream of horrors and lies. They want to look away. I can’t blame them.

But if The Audrey Conjecture is true, then trans will burst out and harm not only the kids who damage themselves, but other kids and even adults too.

“Lia” Thomas and other dudes-in-dresses awakened many people, by externalizing trans harms to hundreds of sympathetic victims. People like female athletes. Many people have sporty daughters. It hurt to see kids get cheated.

Audrey Hale externalized a LOT more harm than that. I doubt she’ll be the last.

It's more than conjecture on your part, because you're describing things that have already happened, more than once. These psychopathic violent acts are not coincidences. I agree. Audrey Hale will not be the last.

That's good. I could see if you were in the tech field, this would be just another attribute to target for a layoff.

Wow.

Is she detransitioning? (you said she is prodigal). Why would she (and the unknown human) be still this angry if she's leaving the cult?

> (you said she is prodigal)

While the famous parable of the Prodigal Son in the Bible is about a wayward kid who came to his senses and returned home, the word prodigal refers to the waywardness part, not the coming to his senses part.

no, I must have not been clear on that, no we are estranged for about 7 years now. I pray she leaves the cult before something really terrible happens.
