You have already helped so many, and your courage is inspiring.

We parents see the abuse that you and other detransitioners face, and we are eternally grateful that you choose to use your pain to make a difference. -That you allow the Lord to bring good from the evil that tried to take you down.

Helene, your essays are really, really good! Thank you! So many awesome nuggets, I’m really loving this segment: “I won't play along with your "mandatory pronouns", abdicate my intellect when you insist that plural pronouns apply to a single person or that men get pregnant, and your deadname is very much alive to me. Words are important. They have a meaning that conveys a message that shapes our values and beliefs that in turn, affect our choices and behaviors. I will not comply with established nonsense.”❤️🙌

I am conflicted about the hormones. But Planned Parenthood does a lot more than abortion and they follow all the often onerous rules of the states in which they provide services so never “easy” - but also they are often front line health care for poor, young women, people without insurance. Basic healthcare that our society refuses to provide equitably.

Great article! I support you on your journey! I'm a bit skeptical about the water-supply allegations, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was some truth to that. I intend to investigate.

". . .I'm a bit skeptical about the water-supply allegations, but it wouldn't surprise me . . ."

That's the worst thing, in some ways, that it wouldn't surprise.

The claim by itself seems a crazy idea, but at the same time, with clear sight we have to face it. If they wanted to, no considerations of conscience or duty would come between. They WOULD DO IT
