Thank you for sharing your story with us! I would like nothing more than PITT to be taken over by detransitioner stories like yours, or sons and daughters included. So appreciate you fighting this battle with us!
You are obviously a very mature person for your age. You understood what others refused to see, and now you're getting the help you need and deserve. God bless you!
Until last night I didn't know that Sage Blair and her family are doing well now :) Congratulations to her mother!!
"President Trump pointed to a young woman in the audience with her mother. The president then explained that “Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents.” The president then said, “Hard to believe, isn’t it?”
Well, as President Trump also explained, 15 years ago people would have thought someone talking this way was out of his mind, asking, “What’s wrong with him?” Sadly, all this does make sense in our confused age.
Sage Blair was encouraged to “socially transition” at school, identifying as a boy, explicitly without the knowledge of her parents. In her confusion, she eventually ran away from home, came under the care of the state, and was sent to an all-boys state school in Maryland.
As the president explained, “After she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland, a left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son.”
The story ends with Sage identifying again as a young woman and receiving “a full ride scholarship to Liberty University.” She stood with her mother and was warmly affirmed by the Republicans in the room, receiving a standing ovation. It was a very touching moment.
The president then said this: “But surely, we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents’ arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents’ will.” He went on to state, “We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately.”
But, looking at the audience, President Trump said that not one Democrat in the room stood up—something he was in a position to see. “Look, nobody stands up,” he said. “These people are crazy. I’m telling you they’re crazy.”
Well, they are crazy, and they are also dangerous. President Trump knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew exactly how the Democrats would respond. The simple truth is that the Democratic Party is under the control of the LGBTQ movement, and their activists are all for exactly what happened to Sage Blair and her parents. Indeed, they demand it.
It is moral insanity, but this is what the political left supports and demands. This is the prevailing consensus in many legal and academic circles. This direct subversion of sanity is combined with a subversion of the rights and authority of parents. It has happened all over the country, and it is happening still. The Democratic Party is sold out to the LGBTQ activists and the ideological left. One of the most threatening ideologies of the left is based in the claim that children and teenagers must be liberated from their parents and indoctrinated by the liberal establishment into the total redefinition of gender."

Excellent comments you have made. Thank you. The Gay and LGBTQ activists were taken over by a more insidious group. And, all of this is part of an older agenda, that started over 120 years ago, with the rise of ideology of Communism, which is anti-family and anti-marriage, anti-nationhood, anti-religion - and children are the property of the state.
Yes, TQ hijacked LGB. I am quoting from an article though so I cannot take credit for the comments, only amplify them.
This Sage Blair represented by Vernadette Broyles social transition lawsuit will be very important to follow. Once the mind is taken at school young people volunteer themselves for medical harm. May she win for herself and all the rest of us!
"Virginia mom praises Trump for shining ‘a light’ on daughter’s school transition case during SOTU"
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful, honest and scarry article about your personal journey out of the land of the Trans Cult. You write with great skill and insight. I pray you continue to grow and blossom in your life as a woman and thinker! It's horrible how many Trans influencers you had. It's amazing that you survived this, and that you are now happily living with your parents at home, healthy and getting the proper care you need.
I think the notion of early puberty as perhaps contributing to insecurity by young girls about who they are isn't really the problem - it is much more complex than that. In addition, our "modern" society is now paying for the failure of the experiment of co-education. Boys and Girls are raised today with the idea of everyone being "just the same" and that is part of the problem. Boys and Girls are not the same. And that's OK!
The Trans Cult is a billion-dollar industry which needs dismantling. We are seeing some pushback now, due to Federal Bans on Puberty Blockers and more for Minors - but not enough is going on to save young adults in colleges, and post-college. And, we need to totally dismantle the Trans / Gay indoctrination programs in Public Schools and College campuses. And, make it a Federal crime to have State sponcered and sanctioned "kidnapping" of young people from their family in order to sterilize and mutilate children and teens - under the banner of "affirmative care" and to save them from "transphobic parents"
"There are countless different reasons why a young woman might want to transition, but most of them involve getting rid of her normal human struggles."
This author is so reflective and wonderfully straight forward about her difficult path - made all the more difficult by silly adults who yep, basically pushed her into this.
Her story mirrors my daughters shorter trans story in many ways right now down to the Abigail Shrier book (which my daughter also read along with Helen Joyce’s book even though we didn’t give it to her - she was 13 when she read them).
The difference I guess is that our family decided to move within the very first year of her trans identification at (age 12) because we could see that we could not fight this with teachers who were already secretly transitioning her behind our backs -having started this whole path with those silly getting to know you forms at the beginning of the year where our daughter simply checked the box as transgender male and then the process started.
When one of her peers hung himself in the school that fall at her middle school, we decided we could not keep our daughter in that environment.
Plus reading PITT and stories of kids who were basically taken by CPS served as a warning to us. We were not affirming and had no plans to affirm.
So we moved states the following fall. We told my daughter it was for my husband’s job so she would not feel pressure but the reason was to get her out of Washington State and her affirming (I like your word brainwashing better- it’s what it is) environment.
She detransitioned basically on her own after moving, even though she kept up the male wardrobe at first. But she told us she was no longer comfortable identifying as a boy. So immediately she was able to change her name back and start school anew with her birth name.
Still she stayed in touch with her Washington friends and didn’t “detransition” until several years later with them. They accepted this years later -she had felt totally trapped in her male gender identity which is why we moved.
Everything is great now, she is thriving, has great new friends in her new state, is active in sports and gets excellent grades, enjoys an afterschool job - she is happy.
Since we were deeply rooted in Washington, we do go back to visit family and friends. Some get it, some don’t. Some peers of hers are still on the trans path, their parents fully on board still.
This is an evil ideology, the idea that sex can be changed - it can’t. It’s ruined many lives. The peer who killed himself was part of the rainbow club at our Washington middle school- I have no idea how this might have contributed to his death if at all. But I do know these kids are given a sort of script about suicide and told over and over about it. The kids had just done the school’s signs of suicide survey a week before his death.
The teachers and adults and therapists propagating this ideology have no idea the harm they do. I’m thankful there has been movement away from blind affirmation but for some families the toll it took was the destruction of their children. We were lucky.
I am completely overwhelmed with anger, incredulity, and sadness upon reading this. Before I share, please verify that this is a true account and not a parable. Thank you.
God bless you -- this will help so many. Praise God you came out of this, as you said, before it was too late. Many of us cannot say that about our children, particularly the ones who did this as legal adults. We have no power over them, and our love and care are utterly rejected as transphobia. We are cut off and grieve in silence. It is the greatest heartache of our lives. But... we keep hoping. People like you encourage us.
I am glad you are doing better now. I have quite a similar story. I knew about transgender people and as a concept for a while because of YouTube and sex ed books where it was presented as fact, and trans identified friends I had that I met when we were both 10. It wasn't until covid that I started to identify as trans. I had been depressed for some time and I messaged suicide hotlines one of them being the Trevor Project who led me to site called TrevorSpace. I was 12 when I started using it. People on there told stories of dysphoria and how they realized they were trans and it was all stuff I have experienced, so I started to identify as trans thinking it would fix my life I dont remember exactly when but I was 12 or 13. My mom didn't affirm me and I thought the reason why was that she was bigoted and abusive when she never hurt me. I spoke to weird ass people online both kids and adults who affirmed that belief and the belief that my body needed to be fixed or I would never feel better or be driven to suicide. My school affirmed me at first it was a public school. They affirmed me until a law passed in Florida where teachers couldn't use any chosen names without parental consent. At the time I had issues going on and no longer wanted to be social. TrevorSpace operated like a cult where speech was policed and this "safe space" was earned through compliance with ever changing demands. So I didnt speak to people much at the time and stopped using the site, therefore there wasn't really anyone to affirm me. But once I stopped having to watch my mouth I gradually lost my fear of opposing opinions and realized when people disagree with me its not because they hate my guts. I started to believe trans ideology was illogical. I desisted when I was 16. What made me feel better about myself was to stop believing I needed to be fixed. Im sure time helped too. I feel stronger about this now than I did before because I see and recognize manipulation tactics that were used before. I'm very lucky that I dont live in a trans "sanctuary state" where I could have been taken from my family if they didnt affirm and wasn't medicalized as a child. Not everyone else is lucky like that and that pains me.
Wow. What an eloquent (and shocking) explanation of how easily kids are pushed on to a medical pathway. You should be really proud of yourself for getting out of that brainwashing cult. Did you get any blowback from the TRAs for seeing through the lies?
Not a lot because I haven't really spoken to people i knew before. That's one major thing that contributed to desisting as well as a consequence is I don't talk to any childhood friends anymore and I don't use old socials anymore because its difficult to say yeah the thing I insisted was the truth before is a lie amd it questions a widely accepted ideology that being trans is an immutable trait that you are born with and that no trans identity is caused by outside influence. The only backlash I get really is the general transpohobe complaint from people who don't know me that anyone who questions it gets. Perhaps it would be different if I spoke to people I knew before
I think that makes you even MORE brave, because you've had to go against what everyone else was telling you (your fantastic parents aside) AND what you were telling yourself. Good on you, that's not an easy thing to do.
I am so sorry you went through this. Thank you so much for sharing your experience; I hope that my son one day wakes up ( he is in his twenties now and has cut off family). I hope that you are doing well now. 💕
Thank you for sharing. Indoctrination starts with very young children. This indoctrination needs to be called out, and I appreciate you doing that. My child was indoctrinated and medicalized quickly. I don't even know where she is anymore. Many of our children have been stolen and are lost. This indoctrination must stop before more children are sacrificed to harmful ideologies.
I am a parent as well. My son has gone to live in the heart of the ideology and no address right now. We need the media to report truth but it is an uphill battle.
This is so beautifully written. You have great courage and are a pioneer for so many. Thank you
