So much exactly the same in my story. In all our stories. The nexus is the internet. The through line is the medical malfeasance. I don’t know how it ends, but at least in the states lawsuits are being won and there is common sense back in the HHS. Praying for all of us and our kids. (Especially the adult ones who we can no longer protect from these butchers)

This story, even the time stamps, are almost identical to ours. My daughter is 23 and estranged. Breasts gone at 19. The mention of the surgeon advertising his "craft" made me think of this guy who removed my daughter's 19 year old breasts:

Thank you for sharing your family's experience, and in good, convincing detail. It is utterly amazing that so many health care providers dismissed SO MANY mental health red flags.

My heart goes out to you, your daughter and you your famly. Thank you for sharing your powerful story. It seems so logical that people struggling with gender disphoria should be given mental health support to accept their biological body instead of radical puberty blockers, wrong sex hormones and surgery. My hope and prayer is that your daughter desists and that she gets the mental health help that she truly needs.

This social contagion has more to do with the very earthly God Money than with any sort of theological Satan. It's a soulless cash grab perpetuated by doctors who worship at the altar of Tran$. My heart breaks for families whose children are pulled into this cult. So many lives are destroyed by it.

You wrote: They told our daughter that “top surgery” is nothing like a double mastectomy (for cancer) and that she does not need her “unsupportive family” because they will not help support her. We know that they have actively encouraged her to stay alienated from us. The negative narratives and victimhood that these organisations promote are harmful to the mental health of our children. They have a spiel that you can make your own chosen family and discard your true family.

The bible says:

2 Corinthians 11:14-15

“And no wonder; Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.”

“So it is no surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness”

Such a heartbreaking familiar story.

Since this was from 4 years ago I truly hope the situation has changed. The reality is this is Satan's agenda and I believe a spiritual issue that we cannot fix with physical weapons. I can't even begin to go into everything I've learned over the past 6 years but I will say this: There is HOPE! Judgement is on the horizon and justice is coming. What the world is getting ready to go through is something that has never been experienced before. I don't pretend to know any details but I have great faith in that God is going to destroy the evil that is behind what has done this to our children. Sadly there are worse things that have been happening to children but as my son said in his creation "Burn in hell Jezebel", "the anger has boiled to the top". God is moving and we are (hopefully) soon going to see Him move in a way He has never moved before. Prayers to all! I will also just add that avoiding the medical system is I believe a good idea. My son ended up in patient for 8 days once because he was self-harming and ended up cutting so deep he needed stitches. Praise God the place he ended up although it had horrible reviews was a place he said he found God (which he had been introduced to before but not in a real way I suppose). He should have been taken for stitches at least twice after that...only once we knew about (the other a friend who was staying with us covered it up). It was Christmas Eve and I wasn't about to take him and have him in some mental ward of a hospital on Christmas not knowing what they would do to/with him. Many in the medical field are a part of this evil, and even more leaders in high places are a part of it...which is why sending letters gets you nowhere. The media is also complicit. What is coming is biblical and I will just say "do not fear" and hang on because once the chaos is over the world will be a different place.

Notes from the Under Dog L.'s avatar

This is tragic on so many levels. No parent should have to go through this. It's beyond cruel.

It also sounds like the daughter had a normal healthy childhood. That said, I'm not on board with the 'trauma' assertion. Also not buying autism. Bullying is horrible. A lot of kids go through that. I did!

What's causing the mental health problems is the transgender ideology and a culture which has shifted from stoicism to one that is obsessed with "mental health issues" and the false belief that depression is a static condition. It seems that this young woman did not need to be taking anti-depressants -- and I'd go one step further to suggest that taking kids to medical "professionals" for "help" is the last thing a parent should do. See Abigail Shrier's book: BAD THERAPY.

However, a toxic friend group CAN wreak havoc on a young person's mind. Add to this that girls tend toward being rather enamored with feeling depressed in the first place. There's (as I recall) a penchant for drama, for rendering one's self a damsel in distress.

The most successful treatments for this toxic ideology seems to be removing the child from the school and sending them off elsewhere. I realize that a lot of parents can't afford that -- but some sent them to summer camps with no social media and the kids returned having gone through withdrawal.

Parenting today is rife with problems that would never have seen possible twenty years ago. That said, leaping to mental health conclusions isn't helping people; it's encouraging more victimhood. Even if she did not seem to have mental health problems, there is no good reason for any gender interventions, ever. It's folly. It doesn't work anyway.

Yesterday I was on a zoom call with a "he/him" that I knew immediately was not a man. What a waste. The person looks like a fool.

Your story is unfortunately too familiar. These teenagers who are going through such severe emotional dysregulation and extreme behavioral instability that they start talking about a borderline personality disorder diagnosis very quickly learn how declaring a trans identity will completely change the dynamics of the situation they are in. They are no longer the troubled teen constantly getting in trouble at home and school and having their therapists and the psych hospitals see them as disordered, needing to listen to their parents, or needing to change their behaviors and learn coping strategies. Suddenly they have power and control. They are no longer seen as the one with a problem that they have to own and work on. Now their parents are the problem. All their other issues they didn't want to face get pushed aside as the gender identity takes center stage. It infuriates me that the mental health professionals can't see what's going on. But of course they can't. The teen declaring the new identity lets them off the hook too. They had been failing this child for years. They didn't have the skills to work with a severely dysregulated teen and her family. So of course the psychiatrists and psychologists are going to jump on this new identity and all the ways it excuses them from their failures.

Family experiences with this madness are harrowing. I do hope your daughter has begun to see the light.

On the 'top surgery' topic, we have had the same experience in the US. The surgeon did not touch our daughter (a young adult at the time) but has a huge business in 'trans' surgeries. Our daughter went off our insurance, but since insurance companies are in on this business of synthetic lifestyles for everything, that insurance company covered her harm through the wide # of US top surgeons. There are near 1k of them in the US that openly advertise in one trans directory. Few US citizens, if any, are not within driving distance of these surgical monsters https://margox.substack.com/p/breast-offerings?r=1kuq0

Only because you and your husband stood in the way of "top surgery", did the surgeon decide that he wouldn't operate...and yet he continued to perform surgery on the daughters of parents who didn't object. Just incredible. There is simply no way, moving forward, that one can ever regain trust in the individuals AND institutions responsible for this hellscape.

It is admirable everything you did for your daughter, and deeply moving to hear what all of you went through—something very similar to what thousands of families around the world have had to endure due to this catastrophic medical error, amplified by social media and lack of oversight, in a hellish loop that brings to mind the mushroom cloud produced by atomic bombs.

Your account already covers much of what it means to live in that war zone of trans gender identity. So, humbly, I would just like to leave a couple of suggestions for the parents who are going through this and are reading these words. I should clarify that I am not a health professional; I am simply, or try to be, a polymath through wide reading and deep reflection. I have gone through my own war zones several times in my life, and I have been studying the trans issue for the past couple of years.

The first thing I would recommend is to maintain a healthy skepticism toward health professionals, especially those who diagnose too quickly and believe that solutions to mental problems are always or almost always treatable with medication. That said, I am not opposed to medication in situations of urgency or danger—for example, when a patient has just attempted suicide and might try again in the immediate future. But in general, the problems that lead many adolescents into this toxic cloud of trans gender identity are not cured with drugs, but with good therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Look for professionals who work with these approaches, and ask them about their orientation.

An additional piece of advice—when it is possible to apply it—is to cut off the adolescent’s potential sources of contagion. Restricting access to social media and to peers who reinforce these ideas can be difficult, and may even create conflict with your child, but the firmness that the child may perceive as rejection could be vital for their protection. In any case, this kind of strategy should always be discussed and implemented under proper psychological guidance.

To the mother who shared this heartbreaking story, I send a big hug and my wish that things have already improved or are on their way to improving.

My heart just breaks reading this story. I would like to know how this mom and daughter are doing four years later. I have to believe this must end soon. We've been going through this for seven years now and it's such an isolating, painful journey when every institution in the world mocks you and calls you a bigot. Every day I pray for all ROGD families.

I wish that I had known about the Trans contagion that was sweeping the minds of perverted men like my now dead Trans ex-H Paul, in 2004 - when the "Gender" "Recognition" Act came into force in the UK. Paul's story is not about being "lured into a trans identity" by his peers. I don't know who persuaded him that he was a transsexual. He claimed that he was sexually assaulted by a headmaster and that his aunt encouraged him to dress in his mother's clothes. This is a familiar, a "stereotype" causation pattern. He never elaborated further. He never answered any questions. He just attacked in response! After he left in 2006 he stopped phone lines and only replied occasionally to e-mails. He was an adult man - my previously charming H! - utterly UNWILLING to explain why he was attacking me all the time, every waking hour, with taunting which became psychological torture and gas-lighting, as he continued on his lonely and self-destructive path for about 10 out of our 14 years of living together. It was a legal but not an emotional marriage. We had two children together, born early on in the marriage. I couldn't and wouldn't kick him out of my house with NO EXPLANATION from him, or anyone about what was going on. This was like living in a war zone because I was terrified of him. I am still shocked and filled with disbelief that he could just "blow up his life" as he did. He moved into a house which represented all the savings, all the capital gains from our marriage. He lived alone for the next 16 years. And then in April 2022 he committed suicide by throwing himself out of an upstairs window, a very dangerous window which he had designed himself. In keeping with his icy behaviour he left no suicide note. Fortunately my now adult children tell me that they don't remember much about him. He was "a shadow" in their young lives. After he left, my main, my central concern was to ensure that Paul/"Elizabeth" had no unsupervised contact with him, as I was terrified that he would caused them serious mental harm and that he would drive a wedge between them and me. He only saw them twice and in my presence during divorce proceedings. Paul has destroyed the life of his oldest son, my stepson, who did have contact with him and stumbled his way through university into a job far below his previous capabilities. Paul was a "psychopath": he enjoyed taunting and hurting me, he picked fights with his business colleagues and even with his two closest childhood friends. He was filled with an evil which I had not detected before I married him. But I see the clues now. We need to publicize these clues.

I will continue fighting for the recognition that this is a FAMILY-destroying, Civilization-Destroying, evil cult which western governments must pinch in the bud before west
