My wife and I were in the same boat, do we acknowledge this? Men can be women? We were sympathetic to a point until we were told we had to lie about: the name to call our daughter, the pronouns we were to use when addressing our daughter. We tried to speak to her without using any name or pronoun, this worked but we would slip up sometimes which threw our daughter into a rage. I think a lot of the usual angst teenagers feel about their parents is used to further push this ideology, this normal angst is used as a match, and trans is the gasoline. But the trans craze goes against everything: human nature, biology, common sense, protecting women and children, thousands of years of human flourishing. So what do we do? I think we stand for truth, and we tell our stories out in the real world as often as we feel compelled to do so. Stand for Truth! Do not let lies pass through your acknowledgement and deemed ok and necessary. My daughter was so beautiful, talented and gifted, a composer of music, a sight reader, with a great voice, she could play anything, well and was super smart, a fast reader good at math. When I see pictures of what she was at 17 or so before testosterone, she was so beautiful and never even gave herself a chance to be a woman, it will haunt me forever. We must stand for Truth, it's not just my child what about all the others? Stand for Truth!

I fight those terrible thoughts too, wishing it on the woke idiots who affirm my daughter! I have to stop myself because I cannot possibly wish it on their children, regardless of what the parents do but it's so hard and these thoughts just keep coming back. It's not out of vindictiveness but as you say, perhaps it's the only way to stop it - when everyone wakes up in horror over their own children.
