I’m inclined to just have my daughter read your whole manifesto, praying it would waken her up and prevent her from going down this rabbit hole. The hardest part will be talking her into it; every time I talk to her about this social contagion, she gets defensive. She’s quite intelligent but I believe she’s been brainwashed.

Helene, you are jewel shining bright. I didn't know you wrote these. I started here with #6. Knowing you wrote this, I will go back and read all. You are a light to me, my dear.

What kinds of things can a parent say or do that have worked for others trying to get a trans-ing adult child to break away from the cult? I’ve tried many things and so far have failed.

Thanks for your reply but I was not necessarily expecting one. I always feel uncomfortable telling people what I think they should do. I guess I felt like a connection with you. I'm glad you're praying over what s your next step, if there is to be a next step. You have already done everything you could and beyond. I just feel you need to give yourself the permission to get closure.

Much love

Dearest Helene, I turn it all over to Jesus, over and over again as I need to, I guess this is what closure looks like for me. He never turns away from us and never will. My prayers are for healing for everyone who has suffered through this madness; the actual victims, such as yourself and my grandchildren, and for the rest of us, the families, the people who love those who have listened to the cult. We wait for the light to dawn, for reality to pierce through the insanity for our loved ones, and for society. Dear one, you and other brave people stepping forward, talking about reality instead of fantasy are blessed encouragement. You being where you are right now is a testimony that goodness can triumph. Though you have suffered, and you are still suffering from the horrific things done to you out of sheer evil, here you are! I cannot begin to express what your words, your story, have done for me. You have walked through the fire and have come out on the other side, and you have your life ahead of you. I think of the story of Esther in the Old Testament where she is told, "...And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14) This can be said of each of us, don't you think? We who believe, know that God has a plan that includes each one of us and He will give us the strength and courage we need to go forward. I am grateful for His mercy and His peace, and I am grateful for you, Helene.

Love you, Indio (grandma)

I love that you referred to the story of Esther, Indio. Very apt to Helene's story. ...for such a time as this. And for you, Indio, for such a time as this. May we all be brave in our own way.

I'm equally grateful for you.

I also believe each one of us is placed in our time and place for a reason.

Though they're looking towards darkness, you are still a light that shines for your family.

A lighthouse in their ocean of confusion. And sometimes the light frightens those who live in darkness because they are afraid the truth will exposes the lies.

And that's the very reason why your granddaughter wants you to turn it off or at least dim it to uselessness. Her life is built on a fragile house of cards and she's afraid to face reality armed only with her fragile baseless beliefs.

I'm happy to know that you found closure, your way, in the midst of insanity.

Jesus will never let you down indeed :)

I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say in this brilliantly written article. I have not as yet been personally affected by this despicable ideology ,but I pray as passionately as you clearly do for its complete destruction and annihilation. I also want its proponents and enablers to suffer the consequences of their actions. Long jail terms for some might satisfy me ,but there's little hope of that. I want to take Society by the scruff of the neck and shake some sense into it by forcing it to SEE the horrific damage inflicted on others by this DEATH CULT !! Thank you for saying everything I've been shouting at my 4 walls for what feels like eons !! 👍👏❤️🙏

Helene, I've also been calling this Pinocchio naughty island for months now. Cos there is no better analogy, except the upside down world, which is more how we FEEL about it as parents. Pinocchio island is a false offer of a hedonistic pleasure island, onky to get there to find its nothing but an empty promise. Pleasure and hedonism never lead to great outcomes and aren't sustainable. The human soul needs to endure the mundane, be bored, accept the ordinary, accept the self as imperfect with desirable change but knowing the change won't bring fulfilment and working through the suffering to a point of simple self acceptance IS where the change comes. This, ironically, in its plain and sufferable hard work IS where the transition comes. This is where you become a real person, authentic and true. Not in the pleasurable, not in the false promise, not in the rejection of self and the constant desire to change BUT IN THE embracing of the truth and nuture of oneself. IT takes time, it takes years, it takes suffering and struggle and wisdom and pain and experiences. Pinochios island advocates tell the boys that they can get the desirable effect NOW, today, instantly. This is a lie. We have about 80 years on this earth to figure out who we are, and who we are... are lost conscious spiritual beings trying to be found, wanting to love and to be loved. This strange ideology offers a false love and a false result. But be encouraged all who are picking themselves up from out of the Trans pit, especially those maimed and broken, your work to self love will excel as you now have probably one of the hardest roads to work, but be of good cheer, because even though you have been cruelly sold a bill of goods, your hard work if you endure, will be rewarded with radical self growth and wisdom and there is yet a purpose for you. Non e of this has happened without a reason, we will get know why and your journey will still prove vital. So please continue to fight to live, to work through your difficult struggles and to speak up for those struggling for workds. There are many who are still stuck in the upside down world and many who are delusionally "happy" on pleasure island and we need to get them out... no matter what it takes.... This is for humanity now, it's bigger than all of us! Godspeed and God bless us all. May We bring victory 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Very true

I wish more came to that realization

As much as I have regrets to have fallen into a trap made of lies ( and wondering what my life would have been if I had chosen to enter a different revolving door), I have no regrets for who I became post madness and due to it.

I feel more whole ( though I'm broken in pieces) , more " clairvoyance " so to speak ( despite the heavy confusion ) and more happiness ( in the midst of deep misery) because of what I went through.That s what I call " my beauty from ashes"...

Looked up the symbol (I was unaware of it) and found it to be exactly as the author states. What more do we need in order to understand what's behind this ideology? Seriously anti-human and demonic.

Genuine thanks for checking out my refs.

I try hard to provide evidence to prove my points but so often I'm perceived as some sort of unhinged nut job who makes things up out of thin air. Makes my day:)

Another book to read to kids, and also to enjoy as an adult, is ARBUCKLE AND SLOAN by Greg Trine. What happens when a dog tries to become a cat?

If you ever want to talk, I would love to hear your story of how you came to de-transition. It is really important to me to understand this as much as possible. I hope to be able to talk to my child someday and have as much compassion as possible 😇🙏

Have you read the very first piece I wrote for PITT? It's called " Back from the other side". I explain a bit about it. Not sure if it would help.

No one will ever convince me that any human being ever said, I am a different gender than my biology indicates, as a result of a thought that originated in their own mind.

Such an extreme evil can only come from the heart of Satan and is fomented by his demonic proxies as they whisper into the ears of all those who are looking for a solution to fix whatever is actually broken inside.

OMG I am left speechless...stunned, emotional, eyes watering, impressed, moved, deeply touched, and extremely proud of You! What an amazing piece. I have enjoyed all of your previous writings Part 1 through Part 5, but this one...wow, this one knocked the ball out of the universe! You wrote "What transgenderism brought into my life is a mountain of hurt and disillusionment, loneliness and pain, anger and despair" well, that describes how we all feel about this evil cult. You have an amazing talent and I hope you can publish a book as the world needs to hear what you have to say. I am sorry that you got caught up in this evil cult and experienced so much pain - all because you were groomed and influenced and manipulated. The thought that someone else profited from your loneliness and despair makes me sick. I hate Big Pharma and the wealthy money hogs that continue to fund this false ideology. The way you did the Pinocchio comparison is astounding. I think you are very brave and very smart and very gifted. Sending you a big hug! Thank you.
