Very thought provoking, thank you for sharing. I am not sure it is coming to a halt anytime soon. I do not trust Big Pharma or the giant corps that are profiting from this medical crisis. Greeds has deep pockets. I am hopeful that the harm being done to children will eventually stop, but how? When? You made good points comparing an ending war to hopefully ending this war on children. Fingers crossed.
I’m not sure what makes you think Democrats wouldn’t want to “tie themselves to this anti-woman and anti-LGB ideology”. They already do! In Congress and state legislatures, the vast majority of Democrats vote against bills banning biological men from women’s sports or banning medical transition for minors etc. Occasionally maybe 1 or 2 Democrats might vote for such bills, but often Democrats unanimously vote against them…
I disagree that the war is over. As long as Democrats are still advocating in favor of transgenderism, some courts are still ruling in favor of it and the number of people identifying as trans keeps increasing every year, then it’s still far from over…
I do really wish this madness was really over - but then I look at the Virginia governor’s race and see the Dem candidate is delivering word salad instead of rejecting evil trans ideology. Normally I’d be rooting for her to win - she seems centrist on most issues. But I hope she loses. If she does, it’s possible Dems will wake up.
Most of the parents who gave in to (or supported) the con will never be able to concede that they were wrong no matter how strong the evidence. They can never acknowledge the harm that they did to those they had a moral obligation to protect. Along with lobotomies, forced eugenic abortions of black babies, and the Tuskegee syphilis study the permanent mutilation of so many children will go down in history as medical malpractice at its worst.
Great essay. I think, though, this "war" is different. This war is a spiritual war backed by huge financial interests. And parents who have supported their kids' transitions and drank the Kool-Aid, and are now the loudest activists, will likely be among the hardest to reach with reality-based thinking and science. I don't know that we will ever have a clear ending of the "war;" and thus, I don't think there will actually be a "last child" lost to this ideology.
If the parents (and professionals) admitted otherwise, they would have to confront that they are monsters who abused their own children/patients—some for fame, some for money, some for misguided empathy. But people can’t even stand being called out when they are selfish or rude. They are unwilling to confront their own evil and malice on this level. Their only choice is to double down, or have a come to Jesus moment. How could anyone live with the guilt of knowing they facilitated the mutilation or sterilization of their children for a false doctrine otherwise?
The programming is hard to undo. It is frightening to leave to comfort of the known ideology and go to the other side , that one was told is evil, hateful, and destructive. We are truly living in the era of Plato’s Cave. We have to keep sharing our stories and hope that some notice the shadows on the wall are not real and climb out. I, for one, am ready to reach out my hand to help anyone who is deprogramming from this madness. I have no illusions that will wake up my adult son and daughter, both who have fallen down this hole. My only hope is for their children, when they become adults, to realize who their parents really are (not a second father, not a second mother) and not buy in to the gaslighting and lies of the trans movement. Despite these two of my children not talking to me (for years, in the case of my daughter), I continue to send gifts to my grandchildren and hope they know how much I love them. I pray for them and their parents and for all of you and your kids. I pray that someday all this will be healed.
We will be 3 years on Dec 31 since seeing our only granddaughter....were sending gifts and cards regularly... but at a court family mediation they told us have removed our pictures and not giving her gifts from us...there were no risk factors in our home...I believe serious mental illness plus radical ideology caused this...we pray and wait
Those of us with adult children caught up in this wonder how long until THEY get the message. How long will doctors continue to feed their madness? Will our loved ones ever come out of this… or will they persist, like Bruce Jenner?
I feel the anguish ... But not just adolescents... also vulnerable adults with autism, Asperger's, schizophrenia, bipolar or trauma from abuse... this is the greatest medical malpractice in modern times...
Yes, we have passed Peak Trans. But this is not the time to relax. In the EU, they are getting ready to implement "instant gender identification" for ANY age. If you are 2, you can magically transform into the other sex by wiggling your nose.
The absolutely key event was the election of Donald Trump. Some who come here will not agree. If Harris had been elected, we would be seeing mandatory "instant gender ID" in most states. Trump's complete opposition to this insanity is the reason it is ending.
God saved Donald Trump from prison and from assassins so that the evil of transgenderism will stop. All the impeachments and indictments and slanders and election rigging could not stop Trump because it was God’s mercy on us. In mercy He helped us and not destroyed our nation for the child sacrifice perpetrated by the USA.
The very last war casualties were those who died months or years after hostilities officially ceased—from diseases caught in the trenches or from the cumulative effects of mustard gas in WW1, radiation poisoning in WW2, Agent Orange In 'Nam, the burn pits in Afghanistan.
In the same way, the body count from "trans" medical violence will continue to add up for years, or more likely decades, after the last pretenses are finally dropped.
This time—as with the first A-bombs—we still have no clue of the horrors yet to come. We do alrdy know that supraphysiological testosterone and surgical "transition" combine to make Women menopausal and musculoskeletally geriatric as early as their teens and twenties, and that long-term treatment with exogenous estrogen spikes the risk of heart attack and stroke for men—but what will happen in the medium to long term is still a complete mystery.
Like all wars, the tragedy doesn't end when the war is declared over because those effected may have lasting adverse effects of the war, drugs, etc. And some may take their lives in the years that follow. That being said, future generations will hopefully grow up without the ideological war we currently find ourselves in, so there is hope in that.

I struggle to believe we have truly passed the peak. But i hope so.

Exactly
Eloquent, moving writing!
What a marvelous comparison! My heart continues to ache for the many casualties of this war.

The war between good and evil continues until end of days. The particular of transgenderism may subside, but other evils will arise.
Like all wars, the tragedy doesn't end when the war is declared over because those effected may have lasting adverse effects of the war, drugs, etc. And some may take their lives in the years that follow.

Yes I have hope that my grandchildren will save my young 20yo son🥺
Yes I agree, we cannot let Democrats win again for the sake of our children and praying that the fight against transgender ideology doesn't stop here
Well stated. Unfortunately, this ideology is desperately trying to persist.
