Wow.

I wish someone in my family had that clarity of mind and the eloquence to state it correctly to the dot as you did when I was crossing the trans valley of death.

I pray your daughter will listen or at least consider your plea and for your son to son to come out of the trans pit of hell he fell in as I did years ago ( but eventually extricated myself from, after way too long)

Best wishes

Here is a link to the biggest detransitioner sub Reddit on the Reddit social media platform. It has 52,000+ members. I only became aware of it about 3-4 months ago when reading Dr. Miriam Grossman’s excellent book “Lost in Trans Nation.” At that point it had about 49,000 members. Obviously it is growing quickly. I’m sure most us share the belief that detransitioners are best to talk amongst themselves and not to be shamed or “I told you so’d” by their families. But you can easily lurk and see how they think, what the social pressures are, etc.

Ironically, I tried to have a respectful debate in another Reddit forum about trans. I pointed to this link and made a few other points, mostly that I felt children are not capable of giving informed consent. I was banned for life from that other subreddit. Clearly they only want to cultivate an echo chamber.
