So much respect for you and your mother's strength in the face of such outrageous suffering, one mother to another. If there is anyway you think you could find some solace in helping other parents and children caught in this vile cult, using your unique skills and experiences to set up a gender-counselling clinic or even a podcast to provide a much needed alternative to the knee-jerk affirmation and medicalisation response, you could be a real saving grace in our cruel, corrupt and otherwise graceless times. All the very best wishes to you that your daughter comes back to you soon.

Are there states where she would not be in trouble with the law for running such a clinic?

The 50 something male AGP activists would yell "conversion therapy" but they are the ones converting the children to a belief system.

It works for them because they want to be "lesbians" in female spaces. They are aggressive straight men with a fetish. If only they'd leave the rest of us alone.

I did wonder about that, on second thoughts. I don't live in the States but I am well aware who is running the show there, here (NZ) and everywhere. I was wrong to suggest this.

Oh, I don't think you were wrong. We need to get to a point where we can have such a clinic - with some sane laws.
