2 years 8 months for my family. Not a beep from her. Radio silence.

Well said! Thanks and yes the world is mad when "professionals" support this. There is a spiritual aspect of this too. Transgenderism is a symptom of a sick society. We must question ourselves why ??? Where and how we did get here? What is going on that so many teens have identity problems adjustment. Gender itself has been in question and the roles of women and men, marriage and family. And then the predators outside, the opportunistic that earn money with the suffering of others.

Thank you for posting again. I know I read this in 2023 when the war zone bombed our house. But it resonates even more now.

“Seriously unwell patients”. Yup. But just give them testosterone no matter their MANY medical issues brought on by isolation, covid panic and boosters, and teen life ripped away.

“Once you see the harm you cannot unsee it.” 100%. And I cannot stop researching and understanding. It’s like oxygen to me.

Harrowing! It was difficult enough just to read about your situation, and I really feel for you and your family. Thank you for your research and all the insight you have shared here.

I went through so many emotions reading this as it brought up so many memories of my own family’s story. The shock, the disbelief, the horror and finally, the estrangement which continues after two years.

Same, right there with you, what a pit of hell Trans is, all of it, a detestable lie from the liar of liars himself, why couldn't more just say "no". I will always be amazed, meanwhile our children are neutered, maimed, breastless and worse, the damage done incalculable. Fight on we must, we must protect children, the only way to get through puberty takes space and time, there is no shortcut, curse the doctors all of them, what madness!. “Would you rather have a live son or a dead daughter?” The anger and sadness just rages in me. God help us all!

Your strength and determination through all this is truly a wonder. I wish you good fortune and hope maturity will quell your daughter's foolish ideas and you can be a force for others. What on earth has happened to 1. the medical profession 2. Australian politicians 3. Media. It's as if thousands of people in positions of power and trust took a pill to make themselves both stupid and evil.

Yes, we are living in an upside world. I agree with PITT. How does it feel to be validated by someone who is trans! =0) I never imagined (20 years ago) that my private dilemma would become an epidemic. For the small percentage of us who are truly trapped in the wrong bodies, the gender ideological bandwagon has made a mockery of the condition.

Get your children off social media, back into books and outdoors.

It sounds as though some people who influenced your poor daughter might have committed actions that are criminal, depending on the details of your laws, and that you have evidence that would support filing charges. I feel that criminality is a lens we need to apply to the things that are happening to our children. I hope you and anyone who has undergone a similar battle will explore the option of criminal charges.

So sorry this cult got your daughter.......it's unbelieveable to think this harm iis happening to our children.....but I know it's true.

So many things ring true for me in this story. My daughter, also now 17, identified as 'trans' aged 13. Autistic, same sex attracted, bullied, groomed and abused by trans identitying man, isolated, and depressed. We spent four years fighting ideology and trying to help her. We seemed to be winning, now things have again turned bad again, self harm, anxiety, food hoarding, suicidal thoughts. I can't see my daughter ever holding down a job. It's made us all so ill. We're struggling to pay bills and the mortgage as she takes up so much time I have to ask for time off work and fear I'll soon lose my job. My 12 year old son is also affected by her aggression and outbursts. We're vilified by the 'professionals'. I'm scared she'll end her life. We're at a loss. We have no one to help.

I'm sorry, I could not even finish reading your article, I got to the part where you described the medical professionals telling you, "would you rather have a dead daughter or an alive son." I was quite triggered, apologies. That rhetoric makes me so angry. Because, in my case, what happened to my son when he transitioned??? He no longer exists!! The name I carefully and thoughtfully chose for him is now his "DEAD NAME"! He is not my son, but in HIS place is another person I don't know. So in essence, this new "girl" unalived my son.

you are so right. I despise this cult & the inability of people to call it out for what it is.

The fact that your daughter collected so many diagnoses and then was anyway led onto the Church of Trans conveyor belt is deplorable. I personally can see many similarities between BPD traits as outlined in the DSM-V and the Trans requirements, however BPD is treated nowadays with Marsha Linehan's DBT course not with medicalisation. I hope you guys are doing better these days. I have heard from many people that the WOKE-bubble is almost impenetrable in Australia atm, Melbourne being particularly bad.

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.
