Let me add a few words of encouragement for your decision not to lie, not to acknowledge the trans identity. As parents we have to stand for health and reality. Think how much harder it will be for young people to turn back from the trans delusion, if their parents have cheered them on all the way. I do believe that many, possibly even most, will want to turn back at some point.
Oh, dear Parent, he is back home? My prayers are with your family. May it get better and better, as your child recovers. Thank you so very much for writing all of this out. It so matters! This is exactly what needs to be talked about, to be recognized as the heartbreak that it is. My three mentally ill grandchildren are still in throes with this horrible ideology, with two teenaged great granddaughters on the fringes. How this can happen with all that is coming out. I have no idea. A dear compatriot here in the comments wrote out the address where we can comment to the FTC: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FTC-2025-0264-0001/comment. (so hope this is correct, as I have vision issues.) I was able to get on the site and my comment was accepted.
Your situation, and the experiences you've described with your son, is the only one my husband and I have found that is close to the situation we've had since we started on this nightmarish road four years ago. The day after Christmas 2024, our 18 1/2-year-old son, with many similar problems to yours, left home without our knowledge, accompanied by someone he says he's been secretly friends with online for two years. First he said they were in CA, and now he says they're in France. Contact has been sporadic and vague, with a refusal to provide details on location/activities, and we don't know what's really happening. Would the author of this article would be willing to communicate with us privately? We've been desperately looking for someone who can relate and who may have insight. Thank you in advance for any help you could offer.
This is so heartbreaking....all of it! My son too is on the autism spectrum....somewhere I heard over 70% of them are. It is a deep dark web of pure evil...everything is connected: medicine, education, religion, entertainment, media, business, and of course government. The powers in all these areas are out to destroy humanity...and the devil has a way of using well meaning people to do his bidding because certainly not everyone in all these areas is evil. They are deceived...but I believe they are all about to be forced awake to see what has really been happening. My son after he was (praise God) delivered from this started creating lyrics to music and adding video. One he called "burn in hell jezebel" which interestingly comes up at the top of a simple google search (2:30 long posted 10/27/24). This is all connected to child sex trafficking as well...it's insane how hard the enemy has worked to do this to all of us....but he is a loser and God is about to show up and send him back to hell where he belongs!
It’s heartbreaking, especially the lies. The transgender ideology must be encouraging these kids to lie to their parents or else they wouldn’t be doing this en masse. I can relate to your story in terms of the constant lying. The breach in trust is very painful.
Stay strong and truthful. Good for you for not lying to your son. It looks like he loves you and wants to have a good relationship with you. What I noticed both in the essays I read and in young people I observe, is that affirming our kids' trans identity to preserve the relationship does not work at all. Many young adults in "affirming" families have horrible relationships with their parents. Perhaps they sense the lies or simply don't feel protected. Yes, sometimes (sadly often) not affirming trans identity results in alienation but the opposite is not true. Affirming lies does not save child-parent relationships. The kids who don't abandon their non-affirming parents know in their hearts that the parents are the ones who are on their side for real.
Brutally heartbreaking, men should not take estrogen, women should not take testosterone. Love your body as is, make the best of what you have. This nonsense must end. Nuremberg Trials are desperately needed again. Do prepare lots and lots of millstones. We are falling like Rome, and we won't last as long as they did, the barbarians are already within our gates because we have already been conquered by homosexuality, and suicidal empathy. Great job you bunch of pedophilic elitists monsters fueled by pornography and your own unchecked sick desires to destroy what is beautiful and true. Our governments truly hate us all, their lies and corruption bottomless. The time draws neigh, best us all to stand and fight where we can, don't lie, tell the truth, protect all children, protect women! The best way to solve issues discovered during puberty is to safely get through puberty, how about that you bunch of monsters.
Yes, I think that is one of the things that upsets me the most, all those people who like to look good by supporting these ideas, or think it's the right thing to do, they have no idea.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are not alone. It’s heart breaking to see our amazing kids go down this destructive, insane, evil path. My son is also among them and I miss him. Every day. 💔
I pray that one day soon you will be able to write a part 7 to your story about your son’s return to himself. I will look forward to reading it!
I am glad to read this chapter and to find out your son is back at home. That is right where he needs to be. Our vulnerable, smart, autistic and innocent children are being tricked into believing in a make-believe world that does not exist. It is cruel to affirm any child and to give them false hope that taking estrogen will make them feel better. An already sensitive child does not need to be confused and lied to but that is what is happening. The worst medical scam in history is happening right under our noses, in our own homes, at schools and we cannot seem to stop it! I hope and pray that your son will find his footing in this world, that he will continue to crochet, and that he will realize he is perfect just the way he is. Best wishes to you and your family, thank you for sharing your stories.

In case you haven’t already read, the FTC is calling for you to come forward. Please consider participating.

I apologize for the repetitive sharing. I wasn't sure I was posting correctly.

They have twisted the words "love" and "affection" to suit their needs. What they really are doing is love bombing, a cult manipulation.
Why isn't eveyone on this site providing comments to the FTC?:

Thank you so much for this link! I was able to write a comment and send it to the FTC.
I was wondering how to contact them after watching the conference the FTC held.
All parents, grandparents, family members need to speak up, "There is Still Hope"!

Horrible. I hope he comes back to himself.

So heartbreaking, I have no words. I hope your son comes to his senses soon. Sending love and prayers. Thanks for sharing.
My son too. Yet our stories go untold while people all around us pat themselves on the back for supporting this nightmare.
Yes, I think that is one of the things that upsets me the most, all those people who like to look good by supporting these ideas, or think it's the right thing to do, they have no idea.
