It’s so depressing to hear even older “kids” aren’t safe. It’s 3 years in for me and an old college friend recently started going through the same with his son. I also shared what I could to him and his wife but my heart was just breaking for them all.

Unfortunately, I'm with you on this ride through hell. My SON is 35. I have no idea what he's going through right now. It's like a rodent gnawing on your heart.

You are not alone. We are scattered and isolated too, but we are growing; we are fighting back and finally starting to be recognized, not the way we were accused of being conservative right wing Christians (I’m not), but as mothers, who will do anything to bring back contentment, joy, and self acceptance to our children.

Very interesting, and I do so hope that your son and your friend's daughter wake up and escape the Trans Cult. I remember my reply to my nephew when he e-mailed me that his adult daughter identified as trans. I kept it short and to the point. I told him that an entire generation of children had been INTENTIONALLY confused about their very nature. I told him who was behind it. Judging from his belated reply, I don't think he either appreciated or believed what I had to say. I have no idea whether she's now on testosterone or has had surgery. I believe it is extremely important for the affected parents to fully understand that this is happening everywhere and that there is a concerted effort behind it. If they don't acknowledge the very real enemy, they'll just end up feeling lost, alone, and hopeless.

I also understand that feeling of utter shock and disbelief. I could not have even dreamt up a story as crazy as the one I experienced with my nephew. I knew nothing about trans so my sister had to educate me and I was dumbfounded. How could anyone actually believe that they were born in the wrong body? How could doctors affirm this belief? And how could teachers support this nonsense? It was mind boggling to me then, and still is today. When I tried to talk to family members or friends about this evil ideology, I was met with push back and their ignorance because they believed the lies! And now, years later, my dear friend’s 19 year old son is repeating what my nephew did. So sad. So heartbreaking. Now I am her support person, giving her books, links to information, and she joined this sub stack. For years I kept hoping that the world would wake up, but the sleeping giant is once again claiming another victim, just like your friend's daughter.

We need each other, we must cling to hope, and continue our fight - together. This evil cult will be slain.

I'm so glad the two of you have each other through this journey. And the age of his daughter reminds us all that NO ONE is safe from the threats of gender ideology.

Yes, how many more kids of any age and families will be sacrificed to gender ideology? And I agree, "Truly, it’s never subsided. It’s a pain that is never healed, never lessened, never vanquished."

Thank you so much for sharing your words which encourage me, knowing I am not alone any more with my heart-stricken pain. It was May 2021 that my married 33 year old Md/PhD son with autism traits revealed his transition process. How powerful the media and CA medical systems in indoctrinating our vulnerable children, even as adults! He does not want to hear truth as he is deaf and blind to his self-destructive behavior, and has found an identity to mask his anger and trauma. My strength comes in knowing that there is a more powerful God that wants him healed, more than his mother. How ironic that a scientist who has spent years in research and schooling can dismiss what we know as falsehoods! Have mercy......

Your daughter in law, or ex daughter in law might appreciate Una-Jane Winfield, Trans Widow:

She wrote somewhere about collecting nearly 80 stories from other trans widows.

I am sorry to hear that, Karla. I completely agree with you regarding the power of the media and CA medical systems as indoctrination vehicles.

There should be no "trust the science" or "trust all the doctors" and especially we should not trust our medical organizations today. They are just lobby groups for profits and pharma and ideology.

Medicine and science go wrong again and again when left to govern themselves.

You have probably seen this tab: https://www.pittparents.com/s/science

which includes:

"Eugenics in California: Never Again (just kidding lol)

THEN: Nonconsensual sterilizations in the 20th century"

"The medical profession has wrestled with the significance of the Doctors Trial. For instance, to observe its 50th anniversary, the British Medical Journal printed a special issue (free downloads here). The lead article “War crimes and medical science” warned that the Nazi problems were “not unique to one place or time, and could happen here” and the trial “left us with a legacy we still shrink from confronting.” It pointed to contemporary problems in American medicine and warned “there will always be imperatives that threaten the professional values we profess to hold so dear” and “the profession of medicine carries within it the seeds of its own destruction.” Yes.

Thank you so many of the words you said described my Cross to bear as well. Some days I just want to give up, throw in the towel and affirm my sons delusions but I can’t something stops me I think it’s my love of Jesus. I love my son with all my heart but he is also my sons father and my sons life is in his hand now not mine. My son won’t listen to me, he demeans me and calls me horrid names. I can’t make him change his ways anymore but I still have hope that God can. The long term hormones seem to have changed his brain. He used to be nice. It’s a horrible disease this trans cult. I pray for us parents.

What a beautiful gift your friend has in you. I would not wish the pain of this experience on anyone. I’d love to see your “starter pack” sometime.
