Praying for your son, and for you. Thank you. This story of truth is so important in the world of lies that we live in. In sharing you have validated all our stories. You are imprinted on my heart. May the Lord help you have peace and resolution.

I'd like to quote from Dr. Paul McHugh in 2014:

"Psychiatrists obviously must challenge the solipsistic concept that what is in the mind cannot be questioned."

and

"Another subgroup consists of young men and women susceptible to suggestion from "everything is normal" sex education, amplified by Internet chat groups. These are the transgender subjects most like anorexia nervosa patients: They become persuaded that seeking a drastic physical change will banish their psycho-social problems. "Diversity" counselors in their schools, rather like cult leaders, may encourage these young people to distance themselves from their families and offer advice on rebutting arguments against having transgender surgery. Treatments here must begin with removing the young person from the suggestive environment and offering a counter-message in family therapy."

But it is next to impossible to remove the young person from the suggestive environment now that it is everywhere - and there are laws against this sort of healthy family therapy since the GI Cult masquerades as a civil-rights matter.

"Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder."

Fully agree. The root of our child's depression and anxiety was not even addressed. She just reaffirmed our child's self-diagnosis of transgenderism (can someone please tell me when my kid got her M.D. / Ph. D at age 13??)

Mind boggling. The people you trusted doing the most harm. Thank you for writing and sharing this. My son was fortunate to have an older, more experienced pediatrician and psychologist who noted right away that things didn't add up. However, the "helpers" at school, were very eager to assist him in changing his name and congratulate him on being brave. I wonder how many minutes they had spoken to him. God help the "helpers" when they figure out the harm their ignorance is doing.

The first time we took our daughter to a therapist, this woman told us our daughter needed go to LGBTQ clinic at one of our city's major hospitals. My husband had the presence of mind to google-search this therapist - let me tell you, her facebook page was enough to never go back to her. As it stand 5 yrs later, this therapist is now on board with another major hospital in the department that treats trans people pre and post-surgery. What is mind-blowing is that these major hospitals support this agenda.

I especially appreciate this from one of your links in the article:

"Now, we are in upside-down land. A world where stable, loving, rightfully concerned parents are treated as despicable, unsafe bigots, while lonely, awkward, immature, social-media-saturated adolescents are being celebrated for “knowing who they are.” I listen with grave sympathy to parents whose authority to protect and nurture the children they have known, loved, and raised from birth is being undermined by well-intentioned but short-sighted teachers, doctors, therapists, and social workers. The result is triangulation, and it’s terrible for children." from

I understand your anger completely. You can no longer trust ANY doctor in the US. Even at eating clinics, where they'll push hormones to treat an eating disorder. We don't even know where to turn anymore while our child falls apart in front of us.

I am so sorry for your family tragedy.

These are very good links and I thank you for being in the fight and writing such a good piece.

There are a great many quacks out there in positions of authority. And, our society suffers deeply from institutional capture by crazy ideology. This must end and safeguards must be put in place.

Another name is "defendant".

The betrayal you experienced, at the hands of adults who should know better, breaks my heart. I pray that your story helps others, and that your son, however hurt he may be, comes back from the abyss into which he was welcomed by the predators.
