Dear Parents,

I want to offer you whose stories you have shared, which are agonizing, some thoughts about groomers - institutional groomers and predatory groomers.

That includes anyone and any institution who coerces, defrauds, lies to make money or coverup for sex crimes - street or over the internet, labor, organs and yes, medical trafficking.

I am a journalist who has investigated human trafficking for decades across the globe since 2000.

I have interviewed victims as young as 7 and their families.

It is as clear to me as water that this transgenderism movement, especially here in the US, when other western civilized countries are pulling back, is a racket that someday will find itself turning the tide.

Currently, that may not find any solace for you because the agony is too overwhelming, and it may be too late for many of you, but I firmly believe this racket is about money, false science built on sexual fetishes to normalize this insanity that has targeted your children - for whatever reasons. They have become prey of monsters institutionally.

As a member of the human race, I am apoplectic that the system we have in place today is harming children and families on this level.

I cannot offer alot to cover you in more than my prayers, but as a journalist, I am going to continue to cover this medical corruption.

I cannot even fathom the emotional betrayal you must feel from the human race when so many are so afraid to speak out when your children are being brainwashed, manipulated and mutilated.

I pray that you all walk with God through this journey and that HE captures the hearts, souls and minds of your children before it is too late.

Please. Parents. Stop sending your precious children to these liberal indoctrination centers called "COLLEGE".

Thank you! I am at the beginning of the journey. My 16 year old has been using a male name at school for a few years now and has only told us in the last few months. Being in Canada everyone affirms her and I want to stamp my foot because this is not reality. She is broken from the pandemic and being a high functioning austic female. She doesn't need gender affirmations she needs ptsd therapy to cope with the changes she is going through, she needs someone besides me to tell her that being uncomfortable in your body is part of puberty and that nobody male or female escapes that part.

I am hoping that the therapist we have her with will help her work through the feelings and do work on being authentic but because of confidentiality I will never know what is said and it is terrifying knowing that I am trying to reach out to professionals to help with mental illness but this cult has infiltrated everywhere and I have lost all faith and trust in society.

Your story is so real to me as it captures the pain our family has felt. It is like a death as this cult demands that trans followers must leave there past behind to belong / become a neutered version of the beautiful person they once were as it strips all of the past. The schools, Drs Therapists, clinics, have failed our children it is the devil at work for money -greed as they created a generation of “IT’S” that are already mentally challenged without dealing with the realty that there are two sexes male and female. Pronouns do not change this scientific fact. 😢MN

I feel your pain. Our daughter moved to Minneapolis two years ago, has been on T for approximately 18 months, and had top surgery last January. While she’s doing well work wise, she avoids any talk of how she’s really doing. We try to keep the lines of communication open, waiting for the hoped for regret to set in, but so far she shows no sign of that happening. I talked to her just yesterday and she sounds like one of my nephews. I too look at photos of her as a happy child, riding horses, carving pumpkins, opening Christmas presents, going to youth group at church, and it breaks my heart to know that child is gone. She’s coming home for Christmas and I feel bad that I’m dreading it. It’s like a never-ending grief process of someone dying, but never reaching that point where life ceases. I won’t buy into the lie. I’ve lost friends over this and some of my family members do and say things behind my back that feed into her delusion. If I didn’t truly believe that God’s in control, I don’t know what I’d do.

She didn't have "top surgery"...please start using the proper factual language. She had a RADICAL double MASTECTOMY.

Time to talk truth. NOT use their language. Please!

Nathaniel Rateliff & the night sweats have a song that always gets me. It’s “I’m on your side.”

Another song that has very relevant lyrics is "Everything I Own" by Bread. David Gates wrote it about his father, but I see how much of it (all of it?) applies to our children.

A grievous shattering of dreams of what we wanted for our children. Hopefully new dreams, different dreams, hopeful and accomplished dreams will replace all of our broken glass chunks for all of our children and for us parents in the "not-soon-enough" future.

My heart aches for you and I relate to your message. Our daughter is 23. A senior in college. HarvestUSA.org has a free download curriculum for parents called “Shattered Dreams, New Hope” it’s been a tremendous comfort for us. The holidays are difficult, we miss her so much but it is bittersweet.

Thanks for the link, I will take a look too. Has your daughter gone ‘no contact?’ I’m wondering how it works for those situations

Although painful to you, I take it as a good sign that she is texting you, and is even sending you pictures. Whether the wish is unconscious or not, she desires to keep the relationship going.

I'm amazed when I come here and see how many of you are hurting. And then I go back and see people claiming this is no big deal because it's such a small percentage of cases. Obviously that's not true. I wish I could do more besides say that my heart breaks for you.

Your compassion is appreciated I and other PITT parents endure a lonely path during a mass psychosis. Perhaps, you can tell others about the horror in whatever way you think will prompt the least defensiveness. To break through other's herd mentality is an uphill challenge, but speaking up is vital.

I will try to think of a way. Your stories deserve to be heard by more people. Your grief is palpable and shouldn't be brushed aside.

I am grateful too. I thought to take this on recently & open up to my sister. But she shut it down, I failed. She is still on the side of preferred pronoun use etc etc, perpetuating the ideology which leads too often to the inevitable place we are at here. The failure just adds to the pain & so, as pathetic as it sounds, you kinda crawl back under your rock of isolation in order to protect yourself. So yes, we appreciate people like you. It’s a mind virus turning people against each other if you speak out…preying on the vulnerable.

Wow, can I relate to this— your pain and your sadness😢

I also relate to the lyrics you quoted

"The powers that be

That force us to live like we do

Bring me to my knees

When I see what they've done to you". 😡

There will be justice someday.

I hope and pray it is sooner than later.

I’m just crying. I can hardly imagine this. This. This could be the outcome of so many of us watching and waiting. It’s like a tsunami on the horizon. I’m there watching my daughter, watching her daughter, now 18, with all of the options to do whatever she wants ‘as an adult’. We still have hope as she hasn’t left home yet🙏🏼. My only hope is in the Lord, to open her eyes to the truth of this horrific ideology that is bent on destroying the awesome creature that she IS. 🙏🏼

One more time when a PITT essay brought tears to my eyes. I feel that sadness for the loss of my son. The lyrics really hit me hard.
