Its been one full year since my adult son told me he is a girl. And that his two sisters, and my government agree. My worldview has had a extreme awakening since then!
Thankyou for sharing. I do get the 'WTF' business about it all. The difference for me is that my four young adult children (24-33) escaped school before they were fully brainwashed and fingers crossed they remain with the good sense they have up to now....the position i am in, is that as a grandmother i am facing my grandchildren facing this nonsense in schools. I scoured the kindy that my daughter and her husband enrolled the 3 and half year old in, looking for signs of PRIDE and LBGTXYZ..in the kindy to try find if they were captured...at that point..did not appear to be. The worry i have is my daughter (32) is somewhat captured thinking she's progressive and standing up for human rights and sees no problem with taking children to libraries with drag queens...this is where it all starts...very young...in order to confuse. I know that if i don't continue to open my mouth, plant seeds and common sense and reality, i too, will be writing as a grief-stricken grandmother over this worldwide capture of not only my grandchildren but everyone elses as well.
We have an eerily similar story. I am glad that you went to God for help because He is truly our only hope. I pray that all those with negative responses have an incredible conversion experience because God is the only way to true peace during tumultuous times like these. These poor kids need therapy to help them get through this awkward time in their lives, not hormones.
Thank you for this. It's similar for us. My son's brothers are "allies" and it causes so much stress! We do still have a relationship with our son, although there are definitely some walking on eggshells parts. My husband has compromised more than I can--he will call him by his preferred name, where I just can't get past "hon" or "sweety", but we have stood firm that a male is a male. Giving it to God and to the prayer circle at church has helped me so much.
Thank you for sharing your story and journey. It is not your fault that your son got caught in this evil trans cult trap. The trans ideology poison is too easy to access, and it is everywhere. I had no idea that my nephew was struggling with this same lie until my sister told me a few years ago. I was shocked! Dumbfounded! I did not live in a bubble, but I was completely out of the transgender loop. I became so angry at all the groomers, the government, teachers, doctors, therapists, surgeons and anyone else who was promoting and affirming this deadly game. My sister helped to educate me about the trans ideology. She sent me links and articles and I watched and listened and read everything she sent me. I needed to educate myself so that I could stand by her side and fight. Good for you! You are now armed with the truth, have God on your side, and you are indeed a Momma Bear. I wish you peace and strength as you reclaim your lost children. Do not lose your HOPE as it is the one thing this cult cannot take from us. Together we are strong! Best wishes and I hope to read your story next year about your success!
Interesting how your reaction to your son’s news was the same as most of us on this site & he has accepted that you will not affirm. We took the same position, accepting the situation but not going along with it. Didn’t work for us though. Blocked & estranged, ours was an all or nothing no compromise. Does he visit much…& isn’t language or talking to each other strained? Happy that you are able to have a relationship, as crazy as it must seem.
You won't find the answer in religion; God only exists if you want him to exist, and your son clearly isn't interested.
Only through his failure and pain will he ever come to decide he was wrong about himself, and that may take a long time to manifest itself, if it ever does. Many of these people get so captured by their own ideology that the fear of having to admit they were wrong to their newly chosen clan is more frightening than they'd ever fear having to admit their mistake to themselves in their own private, dark moments. They latch onto these people with such ferocity that they literally become their entire world to them, and in accordance with their perceptions, will commit to any act out of desperation to keep them on their side once they become the only true lasting support group to their delusions, even at the expense of pursuing their surgical transformation to the nth degree.
Best advice is to abandon him and look after his sisters if you still have a relationship with them. If he comes back to you one day, you can deal with that then, but you'll only have yourself to blame for your pain if you pursue him and continue to care about someone who abandoned you first.
God does use evil for good. Your story is my story. In 2020 my son told me "I may be trans" at that time I was a yoga , new age, follow your heart kinda gal. I was raised in a christian home , knew Jesus as a child, knew prayer. No pressure by my folks to go to church Episcopal/Methodist. When my son told me his trans ideology. My reaction was very similar, WTF and no you will never be a women no mater what you do to your meat suit. Well he called me transphobic and a cis, he moved out a month later and practically cut his father and I out of his life. I tried to fix myself with every new age modality I could get my hands on. I got to my lowest point in 2022 after Mother's day, I fell to my knees and prayed to Jesus to help me. Jesus showed up, sent me believers, led me to a church, I got baptized and saved by Jesus. I am on fire for The Lord. I am in prayer ministry with parents of trans children. God guides me and I have surrendered my life to Jesus. I lay my son at the feet of Jesus and have peace that surpasses understanding, all by the Grace of God 🙏

Fantastic essay! You expressed everything I feel (I have a testosterone injecting daughter courtesy of the Gender clinic attached to one of our biggest hospitals here in Sydney. Her prescribing doctor is a gay man who’s specialty apparently is AIDS! Go figure!) she tells me she is happy with “her” transition so far. She has hair on her chin and thick hair on her legs and her voice has deepened after 8 months of off label “T” injections. She has gone from being a normal cute looking teen girl of 19 to a fairly unnattractive “young” teen boy of about 15! It’s weird she’s kind of regressed in age! I’ve explored all the same avenues as you: read the same books, watched the same podcasts and yes I’ve turned back to my spiritual beliefs! I’ve never affirmed her as I’ve stated I will not lie to myself or her! It’s been horrific, sad, depressing, ridiculous, insane, fascinating and informative in many ways. I’ve found a way to accept where we’re at and to watch, wait and pray for her safety and her eventual realisation of how she has been lied to. I found this quote the other day:
In a time of universal deceit, truth-telling becomes a revolutionary act. -George Orwell- It looks like I’m a revolutionary now! Keep up the good fight! Our kids are depending on us whether they know it or not!
Your story is very similar to mine. It’s mind boggling how many of us parents can relate. I handed over my child and his wife to Jesus at Xmas and pray daily this cult will stop soon. He’s not talking to me since June but I just send random texts so he knows I’m here. Please Lord be with all us parents who are hurting and give our children a sign this is so wrong.
Thank you for telling your story, I’m sure it will resonate with many other parents whose adult child suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, says they are trans. It happened to me almost three years ago now when my 24 year old daughter told me she was ‘non binary trans queer’ and might make ‘changes to her body’. Soon after she started taking testosterone. I went on a similar journey to you, found GDSN which has been a life saver, and wonderful podcast Gender- A Wider Lens which has helped me understand the parallel universe that I suddenly found myself plunged into.
I hope your son, and all our dear, vulnerable children, recover from this madness. We can be rightly angry at the governments and hitherto trusted and respected institutions that have so thoughtlessly promoted gender ideology
I find it odd that it has become as prevalent with many Autistic. It seem like moderate and higher functioning autistics have a Logic leaning thinking process. Despite being susceptible to sensory overload. But it is statically tragic.
I remember a rare interview with Tony Attwood, where he said-'you'll always have to watch over them... they are so susceptible to people taking advantage of them.'
It makes sense to me, with the open naivety and gullibility of the beautiful autist child, who is left out at school due to intellect or social/ sensory challenges and struggling socially, finding escape in unchallenging interactions and interesting material online.

Praise God! Is your prayer group in person or virtual? I love that idea.

If only rational thought could kick in. They're online obsessed. Turning their social media into reality.

What a terribly hard and beautiful piece for you to have written. Thank you. THis is so hard for everyone.

I don’t find it odd. I think it’s the black-and-white thinking - “boys think/do/feel XYZ. I do not, so therefore I am not a boy.”
God bless you. I hope your son comes to his senses.
