Fight? How? The world is against parents like me. I’ve done all I’ve could for her. She just goes more into the cult ideology. She’s 18. I don’t have power to stop a doctor from prescribing her wrong sex hormones. I can’t choose her friends. I can’t change the laws. So how? Got any wisdom? She’s not herself and I don’t have power over her or anyone else.

Yes, most parents like us have been saddened, maddened and frustrated by the trans invasion (of the body snatchers). I haven’t had a private conversation with my 19yo male identifying daughter in 4.6 years and counting and it pains me that her father (my ex), who she lives with, says “he, him and they” without question and supports her continuing estrangement from me by saying to me, “...if he wants to talk to you or not is his decision alone, he’s ‘of age’...”. I fully believe my ex is enjoying this alienation, as he’s done nothing - nothing! - to facilitate a reconciliation, even if just a tiny bit.

If I were in his shoes, I would be doing the opposite. And when we first separated, when my daughter was very young, I tried my best to make sure she had a relationship with her father, despite the fact he had cheated on me. I was hurt and furious at him, but I still wanted a father for our child. Shame on me.

Now the gender ideology has taken him and our only child over, and he has acquiesced, hook, line and sinker. I should have seen it coming, but I was blind.

There’s so much more to our situation (I was a Tomboy as a young girl), but I don’t want to go there now.

I’m just worried all the time that our daughter will damage herself more before she “sees the light” and either matures, or comes to her senses.

Don’t know about her dad. I don’t get a lot of info from him.

I just know I have learned so much from not only my personal experiences, but also my deep research into “gender identity” studies. If some trans people can “self-identify” as the opposite sex, then I can “self-identify” as having a Master’s degree in this subject. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I feel your pain & have no answers, if I did I would share them far & wide & save my daughter from this destructive path she is taking. But instead I greive for the living, keep my mouth shut for fear she will still start self harming again or leave with no trace. I have a constant saddness hanging over me.
