This piece is written by a Latin American mother. Please see below for both the English and Spanish versions. There is nothing positive about this. There is nothing to celebrate. The fact that my son declared himself as trans from one day to the next does not make him brave. This unexpected episode in our family
Gracias por compartir esta historia. En los países de Latinoamérica está avanzando la industria de género y legislaciones a favor de la identidad de género. Las mujeres que estamos denunciándolo tenemos muchas dificultades para acceder a historias reales que denuncien el daño que están haciendo a los niños y jóvenes. Sería buenísimo que se pusieran en contacto con nosotras para poder llegar a más gente.
Dear Caring Parent, thank you for having the great courage to write your story. My heart aches for you, your son, your family. There are many of us out here who are living with this madness. Stay strong. You are doing the best that can be done under horrible circumstances, please keep up the good fight. The Lord Jesus says, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." And "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin." What greater sins are those than to cause our little ones to mutilate themselves and to think that they are "born in the wrong body"? The reckoning is coming, the truth is coming out, and I pray that it happens before more of our little ones become injured in mind, body and soul. With more and more of us, the people who see reality in the midst of fantasy beginning to speak up, we will be listened to.
And you're brave, i send you my best wishes for a better future, and all the love to your child who needs you more than ever. Stay strong, nightmare doesn't last forever
You are doing such an incredible job of questioning and protecting. I am praying that you will come out of this with you heart and family intact. You are on the right track. Stay strong, stay brave. Fight the good fight.❤️
please do not fear your child, do confront & fight those responsible for his brainwashing. love is saying ‘no’ his demands, ‘no’ to the harms they desire to inflict on him.
please continue listening to, talking to your child, keep the dialogue going and do not fear responding with the truth, do not fear denying his unreasonable requests and be sure to lovingly explain why.
he needs to read and understand what you wrote here, what everyone on pitt.substack has written to date. he needs to understand that these are essays written out of love.
right now he does not understand, he is being manipulated and emotionally abused. he needs to know that his abusers are incentivized and profiting off of him. he needs to understand that this is not love.
You hit on one of the biggest problems here. The people doing these things actually think they are on the right side of history - even though they are not. They actually think they are doing good, even though they are not. They too have been blinded by the messaging, and, have failed to look beyond the most shallow surface of messages like "don't hurt these poor children" and "acceptance is important" and "they will kill themselves if we don't immediately affirm everything they are thinking." If these people thought for one second, they would see how wrong this all is. They would see that they are hurting these children by chemically and surgically mutilating them when they are way too young and vulnerable to knowingly give up their healthy bodies in exchange for -- what? -- a chance to pretend they are the opposite sex, possibly fool people into believing they are the opposite sex. Acceptance means accepting the body you have, and not pretending you were born in the wrong one. Acceptance means accepting how young people act and express themselves, not mutilating their bodies and sterilizing them because they mistakenly think this might make them happy. And preventing suicide is done by providing emotional support and room for safe exploration of "identity," which has nothing to do with body mutilation. If only these people stopped and thought for one second, they would realize they are on the wrong side of history and are not doing any good for our vulnerable kids. I too fear for my child's future. Thank you for writing this.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."-C.S. Lewis
trans terrorism.if you talk with other parents, you will see the stages are carefully choreographed. One hit after another on your child who has been conned into thinking this is salvation and that you are the problem since you don't go along.
Ask the doctors why the studies
showing this will help someone like your son don't exist yet.
Again, it sounds radical but not more radical than what these people are doing to your son… Leave the country. Go on a family “ vacation “. Lose the passport after 3 weeks. He will not have access to these hormone treatments and the cult members. They think they are saving his life by separating him from you, the parents who don’t understand. But you know better. Sell your car, house whatever to afford to go. Go with nothing. Just take your child and a bag. Go go Switzerland or Caribbean where he is removed from the “cult”. Well, that’s what I would do, anyway.This is so disturbing. I wish you all the best but it’s important to take care of this before he sets up a go fund me account for surgery.
I dread all the new announcements too. And Ive tried to see this boy my Daughter says she is, and I can’t. I see my daughter peeking through when she forgets about her trans nonsense and lives in the moment.
We learn to live with fear. We have to keep hoping that our children will see reality and stop their descent into this gender insanity. Sadly they are being dragged down and we need all our strength to try to stop them. It seems futile at times. Even now the thought pops into my head when she disappears “is this another suicide attempt”. That thought has to be pushed away.
¡Mi corazón está contigo, mamá! Lo mismo le ha pasado a mi hija de 15 años. Esta sociedad sigue destruyendo a la familia. ¡Legalmente! Es malvado. Pura maldad. Rezo todos los días por nuestros hijos. ¡La sociedad está robando su inocencia con sus tonterías! Está mal en todos los niveles. Mantente fuerte y sabe que no estás solo. Hay tantos padres aquí luchando contra esta misma lucha. ¿Tiene esta sociedad una izquierda moral? ¡En absoluto! Repugnante y equivocado. No dejaré de orar. ¡O peleando!
My heart goes out to you, Mama! The same has happened to my 15 year old daughter. This society continues to destroy family. Legally! It's evil. Pure evil. I pray every day for our children. Society is stealing their innocence with their nonsense! It is wrong on every level. Stay strong and know that you are not alone. There are so many parents out here battling this same struggle. Does this society have moral left? At all! Disgusting and wrong. I'll keep praying...
I was talking about this issue on a train the other day. I mentioned the Pronoun Power faculty meeting, and how only two of us there seemed able to fast forward into the future this would bring. Basic cause and effect analysis that any academic should be able to manage. I then questioned the dubious involvement of the US government in promoting this ideology, and how comedians are making jokes about the decline in the white population -- YAY! Fewer white people (as white middle and upper class kids are tend to be the racial demographic most susceptible to buying into this)...my sister was in the midst of recognizing the suspicious nature of this when some colorfully masked person turned to us and said: It's great that white people are in decline because of colonialism. I am calling out your HATE SPEECH. You shouldn't be teaching anywhere talking like this..." On and on and on like a programmed robot, insisting that he knows who I am and what I think based on my age and the color of my skin. Even more concerning, his partner kissed him in front of me as if they assume I am against gay people -- because this ideology enforces an US versus THEM mentality...needless to say, it was AWFUL. This person would not stop with the White Privilege Hate Speech Mantra. We had to change our seats -- but this person and his ilk are still out there -- PUSHING HATE and RESISTANCE TO CRITICAL THINKING.
The goal of the Trans Movement is to create a child who will willingly turn their parents in, have them arrested, ostracized, fired from their job, and punished.
"their suggestion stems from their ideology, from their moral superiority. From their perspective, we are just poor parents who don't understand what this is about. Poor parents who are trying to avoid their own suffering. They think: I can save this child. I have the power. I am good, I am progressive, I am understanding."
The real parents who truly love their child would fight against this ideology with everything they can. We must stand as one, as alone they can pick us off, we need to stay close to one another for the love of our children and more. This is tyranny, we must fight against it.
Fear is all I feel most of the time. Mostly a big tightness in my stomach and chest. Sometimes pure panic and I have to excuse myself from company. I get weaker from it everyday so I fear the future even more than today.

Thank you, you are not alone and thank you for the translation. These young men are being preyed upon by the cult transgender community.
I cried while reading this words of yours.
This is true
And you're brave, i send you my best wishes for a better future, and all the love to your child who needs you more than ever. Stay strong, nightmare doesn't last forever

One Pitt essay described this as
trans terrorism.if you talk with other parents, you will see the stages are carefully choreographed. One hit after another on your child who has been conned into thinking this is salvation and that you are the problem since you don't go along.

They never will.
Hoping your nightmare, our nightmares, end soon.

Get him offline.
That too!
