This is not just an American issue, so blaming one of your political parties is bizarre. Believe it or not, there is a world outside your Republican vs. Democrat mindset. And our children are suffering from this medicalised abuse too.

I can only use my political influence, minuscule as it is, where I have it. I recognize that we do at least have one party not controlled by the trans agenda, not everyone is so lucky. And since we only have two parties with one pushing it and one fighting it, it makes total sense to focus on weakening the party pushing it and supporting the party pushing back. In my own state the Republican Governor recently made puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and gender surgeries illegal for minors.

VP Harris recently went on a rainbow tour of Africa trying to strong arm them into joining the parade. They were not biting as apparently they can get aid from China without having to change their laws and culture. I watched a clip of the president of Ghana letting the US have it. He was pretty impressive on the hypocrisy of the US teaching Africans values, as though they don’t have their own.

I do pay attention to what is happening in other countries. I know in Canada it’s even worse than here. Parents have been jailed for child abuse for misgendering their own child. And yet Finland and Sweden have shut it down, transitioning children at least. The Tavistock was shut down. The UK is also cutting ties with organizations like Mermaids. I think a particular challenge here that they don’t have, is a for profit healthcare system. I find the UK interesting as they have made these positive changes and yet the wrong tweet will get you a visit from the police.

As has been pointed out by others, transgender “rights” has not been a bottom up movement. It’s been top down and so looking for ways to take on the political power supporting it at the top is important IMO. It is also a Western phenomenon and more and more is becoming public about the WEF’s role in this and I pay attention.

Why would the government of the US sacrifice global relationships over transgenderism? Why this? It makes no sense. Why destroy relationships with African countries even more and basically hand them to China and Russia and then rail against China and Russia for their growing influence? I constantly feel like I am missing the biggest piece of the puzzle.

I put plenty of blame on doctors, teachers, mental health workers and activists. I have written letters and spoken to them directly. I sent information to my daughter’s pediatrician and I feel certain she never even looked at it. They don’t want to know. Or they already know and don’t choose to act.

My therapist is part of a large medical system and has been candid about how nobody is even willing to discuss it. He tells me he will lose his job if he challenges the affirmation model. Many of them are really being held hostage. Teachers also are fired for challenging the affirmation model. If I were part of those systems, if I worked in medicine or education or mental health I might have a way to fight from the inside. But I don’t.
