It’s very sad. I have a gay alcoholic stepson myself who is hitting the skids. But, once they’re over 21 we don’t own their lives. The best thing we can do is seek therapy or whatever else is required to “accept the things we cannot change.”

Wow, what a story about a wayward child! And “seduced” at a young age, and gay, and trans, and drugs, and a prostitute. Is this AI generated with the search words “what can go wrong with a kid?”. Sorry, but there is so much fake news around trying to generate sympathy, that I just have to check. If not, my sympathy.

This is partly why I refuse to have kids. Too much can happen…

I have already read the original brain studies, so I don't need someone to misinterpret them for Sorry I don't listen to liars who insist on misinterpreting studies.

The studies say that there is some correlation to "trans ID" men and gay men, but their brains are more similar to men than women's. Also if the brain is the problem - why not do a brain transplant, because that would be a LOT more logical than destroying one's body over a lifetime.

FYI - who ever said that men or women NEED to behave a certain kind of way? I am a woman, and I can be a LOT more aggressive than many men. No one is going to FRICKING tell me I am not a woman because I don't submit to a man's stupidity or wear pink or LOVE to go shopping for frilly, lacey lingerie or paint my nails. NONE of that - I am SICK to death (and I am far from alone) about the sexist NONSENSE of TRANS ID Males fraudulently attempting to define womanhood. You can stop TransPlaining! BUDDY you don't have a clue unless you were born into the body of a woman. I am sorry if that bursts your little fantasy. But the majority of the world knows the difference, including my dog and cat. So you have some catching up to do.

It IS a free country - but you look like an idiot trying to do something that you will never be successful in doing.

You want to spend your life chasing a wild goose, have at it. Plenty of people chase the high of a delusional fantasy - you won't be the first one.

But I am not going to cave and say - WOOHOO, some rando Youtubers have corrected me - I guess I never knew what it was to live in a woman's body after all! That day is NEVER coming Dude.

Yes, I fear my son’s brain has been completely warped. He lives in a virtual world. We had no idea until his announcement at 19. We had no power or say. It is the heartbreak of my life.

You say you aren’t religious, but for your son’s soul and for your own peace, you must fast and pray for your son. And enlist the Virgin Mary’s help. There is no other way out.

So, so sorry. I will be praying for your son and for you. This is the devil. Heading to chapel now to pray to St Michael the Archangel. He conquers the devil for us. Do not give up- despair is also the devil. God bless you and your beloved son.

It is very curious that all the studies say that exposure to porn is "harmless." And yet TRA which has a large contingent of pedophiles - see Genevieve Gluck's numerous well-researched articles on Reduxx.org - has systematically targeted children in schools and online via social media. These perverts KNOW very well they were programmed (aka sexually molested/groomed) young and are just repeating the evil pattern out in the open instead of in stealth.

And given all the crap studies out in the world - I would HIGHLY doubt the efficacy of these studies that run counter to the statistics related to

pedophiles being groomed/ SAd as minors.

Part of the problem with our society is that we rely on experts to tell us that water is wet, when we ALREADY KNOW this but are too meek to ACT on that knowing!

One can never know what will happen. And at the same time, there is a possibility that since he started so young - he may "wake up" to the madness by the time he is 30. The most reliable longterm statistics is that most Trans people who detransition due after 8 to 10 years. Public opinion is ramping up against it - so maybe he might not think it is so cool - when the world starts thinking of Trans as the Pariahs they are.

Many young people have damaged their lives for years with drugs, drinking, irresponsible behavior in their 20s. And rebuilt their lives in their 30s.

Estrogen is not as debilitating physically to a male body as Testosterone is for women.

Given his sexual tastes it is likely he will keep everything in the nether regions and fake breasts can be removed.

Sure even this - is a horrible thought - that he would be lost to a creepy sex cult during his formative years. But maybe it might be less.

Here's hoping and praying for you.

When a loved one goes astray down a dark path - we often have to let them go - but we can still keep a symbolic night light on for them in our hearts - for whenever they are ready to come back home to their senses.
