Well done. As I read it, it felt to me like lines from the musical Hamilton, which so many of our trans identified kids joined the fandom. If only we could use poetry or musicals to break through to these kids.

What's the purpose of gender? Sexual reproduction. A single male sperm cell leaves the male body, enters the female body, and UNITES with a single, unfertilized female egg cell, to form a single, fertilized female egg cell. The purpose of gender is to create UNITY out of duality. Where the hell is this "binary" folks keep babbling about? Gender has unity & duality, but is NOT "binary", like computer binary code. Little 1's & 0's do NOT merge to create new little 1's & 0's! Just how stupid & uneducated are these "transhuman" technocrats? Anybody wanna try to prove me wrong? Please try, - I need the laughs!....

The struggles the minds of parents face everyday with kids gone astray and swallowed up by LIES!

I came across a Tik Tok thread yesterday with literally hundreds of kids planning to run away from home and discussing how they would and how much they wanted to be their true selves. It was bad!!! OMG.

One thing that needs to be done is to seek out and remove the groomers online. I don’t know how in the world this could be done, but it would be a start to get this to stop hurting children.

For me, this was the most on-target poem I have read on PITT:

"which forces parents to their knees

to plead for sound philosophy,

to challenge pharmacology’s

fake panacea “therapy”

that causes harm irreparably."

"who, dragged away, are promised peace

and stripped of personalities."

100% And, I'm still pleading to my daughter and the US years later. It Is Not Over.

It is. I hope the river of our tears sweeps some of these people away to prison:

This will sound petty, but actually leprosy (Hansen's Disease) is not very contagious and it takes years for the disease to become symptomatic after initial exposure. If left untreated, it does cause irreparable harm. People with leprosy have been stigmatized throughout human history and have suffered horrific social exclusion. People who have this disease have suffered as much from the social stigma as from the physical disease itself. Please avoid doing this as we fight transgender ideology and what it is doing to our children. https://www.cdc.gov/leprosy/about/index.html#:~:text=Hansen's%20disease%20is%20caused%20by,and%20lining%20of%20the%20nose.

I'm always puzzled when my impeccable logic about the biology of the human person falls on deaf ears when dialoging with a trans advocate---but I shouldn't be. It is like a Tower of Babel. We are coming from two different precepts which have been clashing for at least 2500 years. Trans folks, channeling Plato, invoke idealism, the idea that intangible and subjective ideas are the only reality whereas trans critics are coming from the realism of Aristotle. We become like ships passing in the night. I wonder how we might initiate a deeper dialogue. Any ideas?

You can't debate with someone in a cult.

All you can do is fight socially and legally to end the cult.
