My daughter has been stolen by a stranger
Who crept in stealthily one night
And usurped her mind and her body.
The more I try to rescue her
The more he harms her with hormones
And surgery.
He is selfish and mean
He screams abuse at me
While accusing me of abusing her.
He tells lies about her childhood
Says my home is unsafe
Turns her friends against me
And demands his own way.
My daughter was gentle and kind
Never hurting or betraying anyone.
But her struggles wore her down
And the stranger was ready to pounce.
My daughter was unique
Full of quirks and idiosyncrasies.
Social awkwardness
And funny mannerisms
Were all part of her charm.
But this stranger
Has used her
To make a robot
Like thousands of other robots
Who look the same
Think the same
Speak the same.
They are like soldiers in a war
Obeying orders:
The cannon fodder
Under attack from knives
And chemicals.
Who are these strangers
In the bodies of our vulnerable children?
Whose war are they fighting?
And will my beloved daughter ever return?
Thank you for your kind words. You too. My oldest daughter is messed up with the whole gender thing although she is DEFINITELY gay, and my son has become an uber-liberal since meeting his now-wife. We had a fairly good relationship, but now we barely speak to each other. Sigh...
On the OTHER hand, my middle child - a girl (the 'Bonnie' of Bonnie & Clyde notoriety) - escaped all of this political BS because she was a horrible student in school; it actually worked to her advantage, apparently! She's the only one that speaks to me plus I get to spend a lot of quality time with my granddaughter (9 yo).
I can only hope and pray that they wake up before I'm gone; by then - it's too late for apologies. I just do my best, trying to live each day one day at a time and being the best person that I can be as G-d intended us to do.
(Sorry that I did not get back sooner; I've been avoiding social media like the plague lately.)
Greetings, my name is Luca Jo Groppoli. I just wanted to say I was transgender for over 30 years before I left that way of living. If anyone wants to connect, please feel free. Blessings
