I’m being gas lit by my family. My son is telling me he’s a girl. I was very close to my son. He told me everything. He had an assignment in 8th grade to write about the person you are closest to. He wrote a lovely paper about me. A year later he declared he was “trans”.
I have had to walk away from my own family over the trans debate, I can't even face talking to my ex partner or my daughter. You are not alone and you are not the crazy one they try to make out you are
I’m sorry you are going through this. Who supports your point of view? I do. My family with the exception of one sister and her family support my truth. My son is male. No amount of surgeries, hormones, clothes or makeup will change that. He has broken ties with me. I still get along with my sister but we don’t talk about it.
"THE DARK AND PERVERTED ROOTS OF GENDER IDEOLOGY" have him watch this video. I think its still up on Bitchute but probably not Youtube. The people behind this ideology are PERVERTS. Stay strong, mama!
The disgusting thing is how Biden did a stand up comedy routine in addressing the horrific situation. And why isn’t the media covering this atrocity. Did you all see this? Likely not. Look up Biden and chocolate chip ice cream. Because that’s how he starts the press conference.
Oh my dear, I am so sorry for your pain. You are not losing your mind, you are the rational one, and your son and your sister are the ones who are lost in this insane cult. I am living in the same situation with my 3 beloved grandchildren and it is so hard. But we have to wait the madness out and continue to stand firm in what we know is right. I do not know where you are faith wise, but can you turn to the One who loves us all enough to die for us? This is what I hold onto. We are seeing awakenings all around us, but the battle has just started. My first grandchild decided he was "born in the wrong body" when my husband was dying with cancer and we did not even begin to understand what was going on. His mother totally supported his aberrational thinking, (Buddy had been diagnosed with autism and always felt different and an outsider), and after his grandfather died, I was lost. I spent years in a daze but finally began to research and to understand what was going on and was horrified as I watched one grandchild and then another fall down into the pit. I am alienated from all of them and my son, (not my choice), but I can still pray, and do so every day. I can still talk and I do every chance I get to educate. I can still reach out to politicians ( as angry as I am with most of them) and I do. I can still support people such as Chloe Cole, ( a detransitioner who is suing the doctors who mutilated her perfect 15 year old body), and I do. I get looked at with disgust, at times, that I bring up such an "inconvenient truth" (thank you PITT!), and I do. I have found community here at PITT, and in my church groups, so I reach out. We are not alone. You will survive, with God's help, WE will survive to be here when our loved ones come home to us, and they will. Love, Indio
A child psychologist I followed described that adolescents rebel early or late. And they do it successfully or unsuccessfully. They have to separate. In every generation, there are routes that ensure separation, for that season. Parenting is all about support then leaving a child to stand on their own. It seems the body is the new playing field, with the state and culture it's defenders. We know there are bad outcomes. Yet they are traveling on that road. Maintaining availability, relationship, and perspective are our tools. A will is a hard thing to stop. I had a brother who was gay, then the AIDS epidemic came. It took out many in that community. The road didn't start there, but it ended there for my brother. It shook our family, but did not separate our family. Dividing the family, the end game. State vs family. As they say, prove me wrong.
Totally feel your pain. I have no siblings, but do have cousins that tell me it's fine what my son is doing. They don't let their alcoholic son stay home when he's drinking- nor do they support his alcoholism. But I'm supposed to drink the Kool-Aid. So sorry for all of us loving parents who's lives have been turned upside down
So many people apparently have no curiosity as to the adverse health outcomes of taking large amounts of exogenous cross-sex hormones and subjecting oneself to unnecessary amputations and often still experimental genital reconstructive and other brutal cosmetic surgeries. To "treat" a psychological condition.
I think that so many people hear a phrase which ends with the term "healthcare" or just "care" and fail to realise that it's a marketing term.
I’ve been living this same nightmare for 5yrs with my daughter. It started when she was 12, she’s now 17 and has not talked to me in over 3yrs. I know that one day truth will prevail, but that does not make it any easier
Momma, I'm right there with you. My son won't talk to me either, we were always close. Sent him to college and he text me one day and said mom, I'm a girl. I thought it was something he would move past after a while. So, I didnt look into it. Then I saw Matt Walsh and wow did he open my eyes. I sent letters and info and books. And I get you hurt me with all of this stuff. I even asked for him to help me learn about why he wanted to do this. Shot down. Keep fighting for him. We need to, we can't let this cult win. HUGS to you!!!!
The language co-option in the media is amazing. The person who just murdered a couple 9 year olds and their teachers in a Nashville school shooting is being referred to as a woman.
Not a trans-woman. Not a trans-male. Just the "Transwomen are women" 2+2=5 mantra.
I think the shooter actually was female, a trans identified female, or transman. They actually didn't go along with the insanity this time, but I believe it was a mistake. Of course the trans community was immediately whining about the "misgendering" of the child murderer! Such sad times we live in.
I don't know about anyone else, but I am continually astonished by the gullibility of others when it comes to these topics. I think I get it - it is based upon such boldfaced, monumental lies that people cannot fathom that they would be repeated if they were not somehow true. It seems like such a "difficult path". Why would anyone choose it unless they truly have no choice in the matter?
The diabolical truth is that I am sure that many of them are convinced that is indeed the case.
The article states "Police identified the shooting suspect by his name at birth, Audrey Hale, and did not provide another name. He was a transgender man who used male pronouns. The police initially identified him as a woman." At this point, I'm totally confused by the articles language, which of course is probably on purpose. As far as I can tell, the shooter, was BORN a woman, and is now a transgender man, and is using pronouns he/him. THE cops made the mistake of stating SHE, BUT they are NOT allowed to deadname trans individuals.....wow, this is totally f'd up. A woman, who is now on a course of hormones, especially testosterone, can certainly kill people, as that hormone makes one VERY aggressive....ask any man!!
Maybe I am starting to understand what happened. I was thoroughly confused and I am knee deep in this stuff against my will. Let us please return to reality based language. I do not remember ever voting on the matter of switching to fantasy based language and it does a kindness to absolutely no one.
How could all have this have been changed without some sort of national referendum?
I received a prayer request this evening that was passed on by one of the pastors of the Covenant Presbyterian Church. His daughter is one of the six killed. It was a 28 year old natal female. I don’t know about all of you but knowing first hand what this cult has done to our children, this hit me very hard.
It is so sad. You would think that between this episode and United Airline's flight attendant - DEI TRAnsploited advertising celebrity, Scott, recently "dying by suicide" we might have an open discussion of the issues in our country. It would be nice if Dem politicians did not gaslight and Rep politicians did not steer clear of "the cultural issues".
This is the result of massive money and funding by billionaires, many of whom see this as a means to an end...ie a world in their image (see Martine Rothblatt). Every time someone asks "Where did they get the money to travel, live in hotels, Lawyers to sue, buy mps and members of congress?" Rothblatt, Gates, Pritzker, Stryker, etc. This is not grassroots, it is pink and blue astroturf.
Dear parent, hang in there. Get all the support you can. There are legal proceedings against doctors, surgeons, and drug companies. Detransitioners are speaking out. Organizations are speaking out. Word is getting out about what's been going on. It's happening. Keep faith. Do whatever you can to keep yourself going, and know we in great numbers are with you.
I agree with you about the insanity of this, and the marketing.
I don't agree with you about opioids, or being dismissive of pain. If you've been lucky enough not to need pain meds following a major surgery or bone fracture, I envy you. I have needed (and taken) them briefly (for less than a week) after 4 such events in my life, and was very glad to have them when I did. Personally, I find it terrifying that people are being given Tylenol now after insanely painful surgeries like knee/hip replacements. Even cancer patients are not having pain treated appropriately anymore. And while we're punishing pain patients, overdose deaths continue to skyrocket ever upward -- due to the Iron Law of Prohibition. Criminalizing legitimate use and punishing legitimate users doesn't solve the problem. It just tortures the innocent.
I think the point that jigsaw was making was there were no gatekeepers of opioids. I can remember having 6 bottles of them in the medicine cabinet, that we never took, given for different things. They were so easy to get 20 years ago!! You just had to ask and you could get a script. We eventually got rid of them but someone made a lot of money off those prescriptions. Of course if you need them for pain they ought to be available in a reasonable fashion. I had a major surgery a couple of years ago and was given 8 pills, that seems reasonable to me. There are still a lot of opioids in circulation on the streets, also adderall and ritalin!
Well, with Doritos if you think you crave them, you actually do crave those dirty-sock-smelling things, lol. Trans is the new opiod is VERY accurate. I wish we could put that on a billboard.
I have had to walk away from my own family over the trans debate, I can't even face talking to my ex partner or my daughter. You are not alone and you are not the crazy one they try to make out you are

Lord forbid we offend the memory of a mass murderer by misgendering!

The diabolical truth is that I am sure that many of them are convinced that is indeed the case.
When our family was hit with this out of the blue with an ROGD daughter everyone around us seemed to say nonsense like that.
'The Daily Mail' is reporting: "Police said she identified as transgender, and online profiles show Audrey used 'he/him' pronouns."
I was so puzzled when I heard that happened as women seldom go on shooting sprees.
It makes sense now - it was not a woman at all. Thank you. - LM
She was on testosterone. ROID RAGE.
I get it now. Makes sense.
The article states "Police identified the shooting suspect by his name at birth, Audrey Hale, and did not provide another name. He was a transgender man who used male pronouns.

So tragic. Eh, corporate profiteering has to continue coming first though I guess. 🤷♀️
All of the articles were confusing to me TBH. The reason being is the avoidance of the words "trans-man"
This is the result of massive money and funding by billionaires, many of whom see this as a means to an end...ie a world in their image (see Martine Rothblatt).

Absolutely.
Be strong. This is so surreal. It has devastated our family as well.
I am so sorry that this is happening to your family. But well done you, for not succumbing to the lies put forward by those enthralled by this harmful ideology. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/lying-to-our-children-hey-all-parents
This is all very Orwellian. Good analogy.

"My sister believes that trans is the new gay"
Trans is not the new gay.
Trans is the new opioid.
It's a marketing campaign to get lifetime-subscribers to drugs and services. And they've attached
it as a human right. Marketing genius!
Their slogan: "Would your rather have a live son or a dead daughter? "
What a great sales pitch! It's almost as good as the opioid's campaign: "Pain is the fifth vital sign."
Back in the 2000/2010's all the doctors, hospitals and physician associations bought this BS too.
Another: "If you think you're trans, you are." Imagine if Doritos had an ad campaign
like that: "If you think you crave Doritos, you do."
It is truly evil genius marketing. You have to hand it to them.
Ask your sister/friends/family, who support this nonsense, what other advertising gimmicks they've fallen for.
"There's a sucker born every minute." - P.T. Barnum
I agree with you about the insanity of this, and the marketing.

I'm one of those under treated patients. Not going off on a tangent, just acknowledging the other side of the issue. Thanks!
I think the point that jigsaw was making was there were no gatekeepers of opioids. I can remember having 6 bottles of them in the medicine cabinet, that we never took, given for different things.

There are still a lot of opioids in circulation on the streets, also adderall and ritalin!
Well, with Doritos if you think you crave them, you actually do crave those dirty-sock-smelling things, lol. Trans is the new opiod is VERY accurate. I wish we could put that on a billboard.
