Hi! It's unfortunate that the Christian community is still anti-gay. They are not aligned with the Christ Consciousness that they claim to follow. Still, they are good for something and sometimes have some logic! Woo! Where can I find this survey? Are you making it available? Thank you for being a light!

Thank you so much for sharing. As a parent it is challenging to find a balance in dealing with our teens on this.

Thank you for sharing. I pray every day that my son will change his mind. He is so lost.

I cried reading this. Even though our daughter is no longer living at home (she’s a young adult), I’ll never give up hope. God is faithful. 💗🙏🏼

So glad the author is doing well. I’m grateful that you are speaking out and sharing - we want other desisters/detransitioners to realize they were indoctrinated into a cult and there is hope.

I have not lost hope, but have lost optimism.

I pray every day that my daughter finds her way back to God. I don't even care what version of God it is. She is seeking a purpose and meaning in her life, it's just misdirected. So happy to hear that this series of circumstances led you right back to yourself. Congratulations and stay well.

Thank you for your story, and honesty. I am very happy that you were able to see the truth, find peace and meet God and let Him bless you. Remember, there are no coincidences in God's world, and that young man who befriended you and his family helped to save your life! Your experience offers hope and I pray you will continue to share it with other people. Have you figured out what drew you to the trans-ideology in the first place? I will pray for your continued strength and prosperity. I am sure your parents are quite relieved to have their beautiful daughter back. Wonderful!

Hoping this is not inappropriate to share - especially after such an encouraging testimony.

This just happened near our city - both being trans-identified men. These families could use our prayers especially since we have an understanding beyond most. The man in custody was listed as having been homeless so this could be another case of someone going “no contact.”

I used to live in that county. I saw KAAL and thought it can’t be Austin. I was confused by what sex they are in the article. Clearly, Lewis is not in the right mind.

They are both biological males but that is not how it is being reported. It sounds like the victim’s parents were affirming so I can understand respecting them. There are more questions than answers regarding Lewis.

This one hit us hard. Our sweet, autistic son disappeared suddenly nine years ago. His youngest brother was able to make a connection with him a couple of years ago. He reported that his brother was not the same person. I really don’t know what to expect. Cults, drugs, trauma…can all change a person drastically.

Oh, I’m so sorry. That’s a long time. Yes, drugs and cults can do this. I hope he is able to see the truth soon and return back to you. Peace and strength to you.

Thanks for sharing your story. What is the survey for?

I will share the results with hospitals and organizations that support the transitioning of children to show them that these kids need help with others things before changing their gender

Is there a way to participate without signing into Google, so a mom can remain anonymous?

I will do that.

Thank you for undertaking such important work.

And thank you for sharing your story. It truly brings hope to parents who feel desperate. I wish you the very best.

No sorry, because I may have to contact participants. I suggest for you to create a fake google account and only use it for this survey and so I can contact you.

Thank you for this! Our daughter has chosen not to talk to us for almost 4 years now, our hearts are shattered... your story gives us hope, we have been and will keep praying that someone will just connect and give small, digestible, tid bits of God's love for her and that it might lead her back to God and us.

Thanks for sharing and giving some hope. My daughter is 16 and has been identifying as boy for 2 years. I can see a maturity beginning to grow and also a need on her to spend more time with us. We are looking forward to a week in the country next week at her request. She’s looking forward to family time, walking and enjoying nature. Please pray for my family to. I’m glad that you have found something that means more than gender ideology. 🙏🏻

Getting out into nature will help her get out of her mental identity & into her actual body, especially if you can engage her in physical activity. Apparently getting these kids to physically use their bodies helps tremendously with appreciating & accepting their natural bodies.

Ive just prayed for your family that God would give you wisdom and direction and that your daughter would desist. 🙏🏼
