Being a parent of a trans-identifying child is exhausting, demoralizing and terrifying. One of the worst aspects of this struggle is knowing that virtually every institution you deal with is actively working against your attempts to safeguard your child. Schools are among the very worst of these institutions. If you are tired of your school dictating the terms for how your child’s trans identification will be handled, there is good news. A growing number of parents are suing their schools – and winning!
We’ll, you could simply say that if they loose their natural anatomy, they will also loose their ability to have an orgasm. They can still dress the part and no one will know differently. My son does take female hormones, but by the looks of things, he doesn’t look like he takes them regularly. Still has a 5 o’clock shadow, and his voice is still more masculine. However he is afraid to go out in the world much probably do to being misgendered.
I am a mother of Faith, and I pray somehow he finds Jesus along the way, who will turn his heart and then his choices over to Him. It may not sound like much, but that’s what Faith is.
Hang in there, love him and speak the Truth in love. But don’t forget to pray.
Adult trans must be denounced as well. A society that tolerates adult trans as acceptable cannot win the battle to stop it from destroying our kids. Age is not the only problem, it's immoral, unethical, destructive treatment of anyone who has "GD".
When the lawsuits are frequent enough they will become compelling...and that is starting to happen...then the cloak of this sickness will whisked away and the truth will be seen by all...thank you for sharing and giving so many of us a glimpse of hope.
A thousand thanks for this excellent article, so clearly and compassionately describing the effect of "preferred pronouns" and your recommendations for schools to deal with this issue. I am sharing this through my blog. Barbara Kohl
The teenage son of a friend of mine has been going through gender confusion for about a year. Thankfully, his school were supportive of both him AND his parents. They handled this situation extremely well for him and many of the students caught up in this madness. The outcome is that he has decided he is not trans, he is probably gay but he is happy to just be himself without labels until he knows for sure. We don't have a written constitution in the UK, we are in the midst of chaos but thankfully we still have adults with their heads screwed on the right way.
This sounds pretty good & better than most schools - except what can "being trans" mean other than "being confused"? No one is "trapped in the wrong body" and in any case, one could not get them out of that body and into another sexed body. It is all cosmetic and harmful.
These kids should be allowed to learn about themselves and life for some years. But these young teens are put under a lot of pressure to label themselves very publicly in high school and I think it is so inappropriate.
Brilliant! Praise God. I wish the governments of Canada and Australia would do the same, but we do not have the right to parent our own children because of stupid, ill conceived bills and laws that take away parental rights, including the right to counsel their own children or say, NO.
Excellent article. The amount of trauma being caused not just to kids but to parents is scandalous. There must be so many parents out there suffering severe, chronic PTSD, despair, grief, justified anger, isolation and chronic fear (I won't say anxiety because this is fear of something that is likely to happen, not just worry about something that probably wont happen). Maybe the tide is turning with these lawsuits. The ideological zealots running schools no doubt all follow the "no debate" policy which means ordinary people can't challenge them. But they can't get away with that in a court of law. Good to see their feet being held to the fire at last.
Thank you so very much for your article, it gives us hope! Maybe, even, to arousing new truths to land in settled cult-indoctrinated minds when these lawsuits increase, and the results are for the parents. Such a light coming into this dark and dangerous situation! Am so looking forward, now, as this journey unfolds for families seeking justice! I feel our circle of understanding is getting bigger and bigger, as more parents stand up for their children, as more medical and scientific professionals, as more journalists, teachers and family members speak out. Thank you, one and all, for standing up and speaking out.
My story is that I'm just the grandma. In the cases of my granddaughter and my two grandsons, only one was a minor, starting his journey at 17, going on nine years ago, while my husband, their grandpa was dying. The other two of my grandchildren were adults. They chose this insanity as adults. Albeit, injured, broken, hurting and mentally ill, (I believe) but adults. I have been blocked from seeing them and my three great grandchildren through no wish of mine. In some ways our separation has been a blessing, however. Some days I feel as though God reached down and pulled me out of the emotional quagmire that had become our life as a family. (Some days.) In the main part, my Lord, Jesus, has given me peace I never thought I would have after my husband died and our family fell apart. Though I yearn to see my grandchildren that we helped to raise through the chaos with my son and his issues, I know that God is good. How would I have handled seeing in total, the progression of unresolved mental illness and the cult's work on my beloveds? Seeing dear bodies changed and mutilated, seeing them ingesting drugs, hormones, and seeing the physical damage being wrought, for what? They, and others just like them are reaching for a fantasy, that will never come true.
That said, I have resolved to speak out every chance I get to tell unknowing people what is going on with children in America and the world. I support sensible conservative people and groups that are against the insanity, I write letters and sign petitions, I vote, and I pray.
It's not been shown that social transition even improves mental health, or is lifesaving-any school that tries that needs to be called out.
Not social transition status, but peer relations and family functioning predict psychological functioning in a German clinical sample of children with Gender Dysphoria (Sievert et al, 2021)
“Therefore, claims that gender affirmation through transitioning socially is beneficial for children with GD could not be supported from the present results. Instead, the study highlights the importance of individual social support provided by peers and family, independent of exploring additional possibilities of gender transition during counseling.
People who have first been told a lie as being a fact, and of course, they believe the lie. It is human nature to believe whatever “truth” (whether true or false) that is HEARD FIRST that is always what is to be ‘believed’.
“One who acquires political beliefs early in life and rarely changes any of them is incapable of learning from experience.” – Marilyn von Savant
I once heard a story on the origin of the music “Taps” it turned out to be an entirely made-up story, but when I heard the TRUE tale, I believed the teller was a nut-case, then later I found out he was correct, and my belief in the first story that I heard, was wrong!
It is what you hear first is what you believe is true!
The left is well versed in how to destroy from within, and so far, they are doing a bang-up job of it. They control the education system so the last three, or possibly, more, generations have learned nothing but garbage and lies, they truly are ignorant of actual American History. Of course, they have also been taught not to research, read, comprehend, and think logically about anything on their own, they are just to take what they are taught for ‘gospel truth’. We have generations of people incapable of even thinking for themselves. True, a few of us have been spared from this brainwashing, but it’s too few.

This is a positive sign. I hope it becomes a trend.
I really appreciate your breakdown of the court cases. Hopefully parents are challenging the schools. My kid's school did revert back to birth name.
Wow! I'd love to know more about this somehow as I'm desperate for mine to do the same.
There are some level headed people out there. Make sure to read over the guidance for trans students.
Wow! Great
Thank you for this critical information.
So good to read that some positive progress is being made.
Wonderful, encouraging advice, indeed!
