I want to encourage all to listen to today's message from Julie Green at Julie Green Ministries on either Rumble or YouTube. She spoke of the whole transgender movement and where it came from. There is also a video from 2 years ago with Jonathan Cahn on Cornerstone Chapel's channel from 10/4/2023 where they go into some of the biblical explanations. Julie Green's message from today is VERY encouraging so I encourage you to listen. The end to this is near. Kim Clement prophesied June 14 in a prophesy that is known as the "Season's Prophesy". I do believe that we have entered the "strange July" that he spoke about and that we will see many "fall in the fall". It is pure evil what has done this to our children....and the picture is even way way bigger than what we are all going through....but God is good...and He is moving!
Agree and I understand your pain. This transgender “ thing” is not isolated of others things that happened before. The society is sick. I believe that one of the causes is to prioritize materialism and consumption as way to happiness and that is a lie. We live in a hedonistic and hipersexualized society in which all what we have and all what we suppose to do ( looking for love through pleasure) to get happiness is bad advice because human beings are not robots without soul and there’s not room for the souls in this society. Now, the transgender narrative is all about “ caring and supporting and be nice “ with the confused in spite they don’t called them confused they called them “ enlightened “ with the revelation of their “ truth “ and their true identity. The language they use is perverse because the results are terrible. To dismantle this narrative and lies we need to go for the supporters of this issue with legislation that limits their reach. Sadly with SM their reach is infinite. The most of the stories tell about youngsters feeling uneasy in their own skin and finding families that are not cooperative look and find very fast “ people “ on line who seduced them in their lies. Maybe those persons also has been seduced in to that and now they cannot back up because they have to live the lie to justify themselves and everything they do. As one trans told me once “ we have to do more of us so the society accept it”. We are all invade with lies since we get up in the morning to bed time. Government lie, politicians lie, ads lie, movies and shows and entertainment lie, institutions lie so we cannot expect humans who are growing and are not strong enough or don’t have their parents united or strong to feel safe. We are responsible for not providing a safe environment in spite we are talking about safety all the time. Safety doesn’t come from safe rooms or places, safety comes from inside strength through clear messages of self reliance and taking responsibility, moral principles and spiritual education that emphasizes the transcendence of human life as creatures of a Creator. Religion has a purpose in human history to overcome whatever difficulties but we had take that away from our children and anything that is real love to replace it for a fake “be nice and be kind” that is only the exterior but not deep enough. These young men and women have not hope and they think they are the problem or their gender. Now we have another different issue with children who allegedly wants to be the opposite sex so we should separate the issues. When children do that there’s an adult behind, it’s abused if the parents take the side of the children. We all have been children and we know that never in our mind we think in those terms of “ gender” . We never do it doesn’t matter how tomboys we are. So when a child starts to talk like that is because someone else told him or her, and still children don’t have idea of what that means or what that entitles. Transgenderism started in the states in the 70 but in adults now it got to the kids. We had experimentation in Harvard settings with children, all supported for “ universities”, Dr Money and Dr Kinsley a pedophile, all of “ great reputation “ and those are the predecessors of the doctors practicing abuses in the children today. We need legislation so they end up in jail to start.
No doubt that gender affirming care is the biggest medical scandal, but there are so many others. It is disheartening that we don't seem to learn--from lobotomies, to the opioids that weren't addictive, to pitocin inductions, to "gender affirming care", to SSRIs and ketamines for depression, to emphetamines for ADHD, to ozempic, to experimental vaccines just to name a few. The pattern is the same--an often manufactured problem, the need for a quick fix, rushed "solutions" without empirical support, and children suffer; damage irreversible. And even those who "woke up" with respect to gender, will often still defend other quick fixes, even if research stares them in their faces, and this is how it has always been.
Absolutely! If you haven't heard of it already you may enjoy a docu-series that can be found at "cult of the medics dot com". I am going to watch it again. I watched chapter 7 several times because it deals with more current issues. It is eye opening and although we don't know for a fact all of it to be totally accurate it certainly gives us a lot to think about!
It seems like the wave has crested, but there are lots of recently lured-in victims who are exposed as the surf recedes. On my campus the trans-ID'd students seem to be the quirky autistic ones, both the males and the females. I've come to think of trans the way I think about other forms of sexual abuse of young people, especially girls but boys too. The world will continue serving up fresh, naive young people who will be fooled and lured in by this cult, in much the way that sex traffickers work. Young, lonely people are very vulnerable to promises of love and family. Like other victims of sexual abuse, their bodies are being maimed and harvested for profit.
One of these fresh victims is one of my nephews--on the autism spectrum, hooked up with a trans-ID'd boyfriend recently and now says he's trans too. Another is a former student of mine, who was non-binary when I met her but she's since been taking testosterone and calling herself "he/him." I helped her with her grad school applications this year, and when I asked what her parents thought of her moving to a big city, she said "oh, I'm not in touch with them anymore." She's also visually impaired. She at least has a brother she's still in touch with.
It's so tragic--and I feel like I have failed both of these very intelligent but very naive young people by not asking them, "have you really looked into the health risks of taking cross-sex hormones? Do you care if you're incontinent and disabled by the time you're 30?" In the case of my former student, I feel very regretful for not asking. If it were my daughter, I would want someone my child trusted to ask these fairly obvious questions. I did interrogate her on what she meant by "queer" in our last conversation--and urged her to use more precise & specific language in her future research.
It is tragic. When my daughter was sucked into gender's pipeline in college, I prayed for people to come into her life that had the guts to stand on the truth. Our daughter did make it out but society has gone so wrong when what we breed is cowardice.
My son has said for the past year that he no longer believes he's trans. I want to believe him but I still get scared that he's lying to me and just waiting for an opportunity. We cut off basically all his internet access. Limit who he can contact on his phone and what he can do on it. He's an adult now, and having so much control over those things seems overbearing but I feel like its still necessary. He is an insanely intelligent kid and before the trans nonsense he was a straight a student. Once he got sucked in he stopped doing his work and started failing all his classes. He just graduated but barely. We caught him multiple times making up stories about us in texts to his friends and he heavily exaggerated arguments and things in our daily life. He even had a teacher call cps on us which was a terrifying experience. II want to believe its over but im still on high alert constantly.
Im 35 with an 18 year old son and a 20 year old brother. My brother decided he was Trans around 14. This was the height of covid and I didnt know much about it so I supported him the best I could but would tell him there is no harm in expressing yourself the way you want but that doesnt mean youre a girl. Then 2 years later my son (who was very close to my brother because of their close age), told me he was also Trans. This made no sense to me. He had never been even a tiny percent feminine in his nature or expression. Having 2 transgender children in such a small family didnt seem statistically possible. I went down the rabbit hole. I found Pitt. The next few years were absolute hell trying to drag my son out of the delusion while still having my family around and my brother presenting feminine. Im now estranged from my brother and very low contact with my parents, who support his Trans identity and think im some kind of hateful bigot and "close minded" (their words). I have 3 sons i have to protect from this. Its completely devastated our family. No one is Trans. This is evil. Im so sorry to everyone going through this pain. It is so heavy.
Having to deal with accusations of being "close-minded" from your PARENTS is just insane. You're trying to save your own sons from the cult, while they see no harm in it. Good God. Are they just die-hard progressives who have never questioned the program?
Oh boy. Ill get into it while trying to keep it as short as I can. My mom and I have never been good. She did not treat me well as a child or adult. She was abusive and I was the oldest and took the brunt of it. Shes resented me my entire life for multiple reasons. I want to say around 10 years ago she found new age spirituality and threw herself full force into it. Shes the woman that has a coexist sticker and dresses like a bohemian hippy and tells you that you have to smudge every thursday and blow cinnamon into your doorways. Shes literally done "reiki" on me. I think shes so into this ultra hippy liberal woke mindset because she thinks it makes her a better person than she was when i was growing up and absolves a lot of bad shit she's done. And of course since she resents me and I think its nonsense, then my beliefs and thoughts must be wrong. My step-dad (my brother's father) just goes along with whatever she says. And my brother grew up extremely spoiled and has never been told no in his life by either of them. I dont know if this somewhat answers that...
Very interesting, bry. Sounds like late-onset progressivism. Seriously, your explanation for why your mother discovered new age spirituality makes sense. It is very unfortunate that your step-father has no backbone....your step-brother might have dodged the trans train if his father had one. As a father of a son I may not be completely objective, but I think fathers could have stopped most of this insanity in its tracks if they had only risen to the occasion. So many were intimidated by the pseudo-experts or went along simply out of cowardice.
It sounds like you're a great mother, and you naturally want your boys to have loving relationships with your parents. But you basically have to protect them from the insanity. I really hope your one son has come around and sees clearly that it was always a lie. Good luck with your mother, too. That can't be easy. But at the very least she has to respect you for holding true and firm.
I agree with you that more fathers should have prevented this. I can't wrap my head around why any parent goes along with it, let alone a father with his son. My husband never went for it for a second. His usual quip to my mom's bullshit is "we're trying to raise men over here". I think we have an epidemic of men and women who are of weak mind and spirit and the consequences are devastating. We'll be fixing this mess for generations.
I feel totally betrayed and abandoned by them. I kept the relationship so long because I wanted my kids to have grandparents and they love them and vice versa. It just got to the point where it wasnt sustainable anymore....for my sanity and peace of mind. My heart hurts for me and my kids.
My heart will likely ache for the rest of my life about my young adult son, mentally and physically destroyed by this heinous mind virus. As for others parading their absurd charade, I can't help but feel anger toward them, because they are part of the group that influenced and stole my precious son. Though, I know some of the cult's member are truly pitiable and in the useful idiot category. I also know my rage looks for an outlet. I do, however, have visceral empathy for the parents of any SON of DAUGHTER seduced into this pathetic life of pretend.
Each time I see a trans kid, I really want to say something. I want to tell them not to ghost or bully their parents, to examine what is causing them to believe a fantasy so long past the developmental stage of magical thinking. I can tell who is MTF and FTM and most of the world can, too, so when will they stop trying to change themselves? It is hellish.
I struggle with how to behave when I see a young trans person. What I end up doing is treating them with kindness and respect. I try to emanate love. I make this choice because that’s how I would want another stranger to treat my daughter. I try to find a way to “see” them in a way that has nothing to do with the trans identity they have donned.
It IS hard to believe. And as each year goes by, the pain has only grown.
I never thought we'd still be here as a family, over 5 years in. There is no sign of change. Except there is a change... in us. My husband, daughter, and myself have all decided that our lost one has been destroying our own happiness for far too long. We have let this happen. But we are allowed to be happy. We are allowed to move on with our lives. We don't want to without him, but there is nothing we can do about it. This is a choice HE is making and we have a choice, too: to be destroyed and unhappy, or to go on without him, choosing joy in our lives despite the grief. For too long we have allowed the grief to encompass and overwhelm us, especially me. I had a dr tell me a few weeks ago that the unremitting stress is causing my significant health problems to be infinitely worse, and that if I could somehow find peace and joy again, my health would radically improve. He's not the first, but this time, it got through. I used to think perpetual grief and loss was the price of love. I'm rethinking that, now. The enemy who stole my son wants me to wallow in grief and loss. He wants this stress to kill me, something I've been perfectly willing to let happen. He wants to destroy our entire family, not just our son/brother. We won't let him. Some days are more difficult than others, but there is a slow growing kind of freedom I'm feeling now. A kind of peace. I think I'm finally giving my son to God, and God is giving me the grace to do it. We continue pray and to watch and to wait. But we are not going to continue in misery. The sadness may rear its head, but it will not continue to triumph over us anymore. We will not give this great evil the satisfaction of ruining even more lives than it already has.
I’m at the same stage too, it’s been over 6 years, there just comes a point. That said, I keep crying, I seem to have gone backwards in that respect. It’s as if I’ve made the decision to move on & then some random triggers bursts of tears just when I thought I’d buried them. Walking down the freezer aisle in Walmart & seeing pancakes. My son loved those as a treat when he was a kid. Seriously, pancakes.
I’m sorry. I can relate. I felt just that way all this past year—worse, not better. A friend at church came up to me a couple months ago just to say that her family regularly prays for our son and I fell to absolute pieces. She felt so badly but I told her, I’m a glass full to the brim. One little tap and I spill. Now, I feel the glass has emptied some. I feel relief. I can only credit God’s mercy. Peace like this isn’t natural to me. May God comfort you, too. He is a shelter in this fiercest of storms. 🙏
“I’m a glass full to the brim. One little tap and I spill”. That’s exactly it & the same here, if anyone shows kindness or understanding. It must be rare. Affirm i& all your troubles will be over from everyone else. Prayers to you too, to all of us
So wise and well articulated, Jennifer. I completely agree: the enemy that targeted and stole your son expected to destroy your entire family in the process. It's so good to hear that you have recommitted to yourself and the rest of your family.
I am glad you have decided to allow happiness back into your life - this cult robs and steals, and it took your son, so do not let it have anything else! I hope you find peace and joy in the little things in life and that you will let yourself heal. We all grieve when our loved one is tricked into believing the trans lies. So, let yourself grieve and then let go. Life is hard enough.
The big problem is that detransitioners are being shouted down, and even those who refuse to be quiet are still being dismissed as a tiny minority.
The big talking point is that transition works for the vast majority of people. Until this gets proven otherwise by a huge wave of young, forever mutilated people who come forward and admit that they were misled, the insanity will unfortunately continue.
I feel you about wanting to say something to the trans kid. But they don’t hear what we are saying. I tried, and the kid’s answer was something along the lines of “Noted. I’m fine.” Until the message comes from their own peers, it is pointless, like talking to a wall.
Of the stories but don’t comment much.., I have a son going through this… traveling this path.. the only rest I find is in my faith as I pray my rosaries for my son and all the children and young people wrapped up in this evil..

Peace like this isn’t natural to me. May God comfort you, too. He is a shelter in this fiercest of storms. 🙏
“I’m a glass full to the brim. One little tap and I spill”. That’s exactly it & the same here, if anyone shows kindness or understanding. It must be rare. Affirm i& all your troubles will be over from everyone else. Prayers to you too, to all of us
So wise and well articulated, Jennifer. I completely agree: the enemy that targeted and stole your son expected to destroy your entire family in the process. It's so good to hear that you have recommitted to yourself and the rest of your family.
I am glad you have decided to allow happiness back into your life - this cult robs and steals, and it took your son, so do not let it have anything else! I hope you find peace and joy in the little things in life and that you will let yourself heal. We all grieve when our loved one is tricked into believing the trans lies. So, let yourself grieve and then let go. Life is hard enough.
The big problem is that detransitioners are being shouted down, and even those who refuse to be quiet are still being dismissed as a tiny minority.
The big talking point is that transition works for the vast majority of people. Until this gets proven otherwise by a huge wave of young, forever mutilated people who come forward and admit that they were misled, the insanity will unfortunately continue.
I feel you about wanting to say something to the trans kid. But they don’t hear what we are saying. I tried, and the kid’s answer was something along the lines of “Noted. I’m fine.” Until the message comes from their own peers, it is pointless, like talking to a wall.
I read a lot
Of the stories but don’t comment much.., I have a son going through this… traveling this path.. the only rest I find is in my faith as I pray my rosaries for my son and all the children and young people wrapped up in this evil..
Me too
