Well done! Fantastic list and resources. I love that you created such a safe space to have dialogue. That is the key to making any progress in this. Thank you for taking the time to share this.
Your commitment and patience are praise-worthy for sure, and I am glad your son is coming out of the ether. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty in anyway saying this, but I can't help but wonder if instead of biology being #8, had it been #1 starting at an early age if the influence of all of the others would have been less for this. For newer parents, the simple truth that boys cannot be girls/girls cannot be boys needs to be ingrained from the beginning with toddlers. It leaves plenty of room to explore personality preferences of gender within the set boundaries of sex. I wonder about that a lot.
At the time today's ROGD teens were toddlers (10-12 years ago, perhaps), who could have foreseen that such a basic fact -- that "boys cannot be girls/girls cannot be boys" -- would ever be in dispute for their child?
I meant the toddler remark for those who have toddlers now. I can't say it's never too late to start instilling that truth, because too many here know it can be. What I am saying is the younger the better.
Yes, I agree with that. And let's hope that by the time today's toddlers are teens, the gender cult will be breathing its last.
I just wouldn't want any parents of current ROGD kids to feel guilt for not having taught them years ago that humans can't change their sex, when nobody could've dreamed that lesson would be necessary.
It was not my intent to add any guilt to anyone and feel guilty now thinking I did. My heart breaks for anyone caught in the trap. I've edited my original comment hoping to change that perception. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Great post!

Great resources, useful even for non-homeschooling parents. Thank you.
