I am so sorry you have experienced such a tragic loss, especially after what was probs my years of difficulty while your son was living a lie. Your voice and your son's voice need to be heard. Please continue to share your story, as it might help other kids stuck in this mess. My son, 19, is showing signs ofdesisting but has taken hormones for ages and off them now, but he is more isolated than ever. He too lost all his friends even the so called "woke" enablers. They convinced him he was a girl, but they were all pretty normal kids and when he began changing it was OTT for them and they ducked. I worry so much for him, I hope he gets his life together and can put this behind him, but it has forever fractured him and caused doubt about himself and who he is and also left his body very uncanny. It is such an awful thing h.thatbhas happened. And for us parents too, this is so heavy to endure.

My love to you friend ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅบ

Quotes from Cass review you included in your essay donโ€™t support your conclusion that social transition is harmful. Iโ€™m so sorry for your loss, it must be extra horrible to lose son once things looked bright

Spoken like someone who wants to screw juvenile looking chronological adults

Anyone who learned the concept of the socially reflected self knows better puberty is normal don't medicate it

Look, Iโ€™m just turned off by contradictions. Quotes donโ€™t provide conclusions the essay says they provide

Iโ€™m so sorry for your loss. As a parent , I can only imagine the pain that you suffered because of the evil transplant the professionals that uphold the lies told to parents about their kids!

Friends that blame you are not friends , but wicked people who have no compassion!

It seems that you did what loving parents do to try to protect your child. YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME!

My sincere condolences.

They are causing these kids to have the mental issues in the first place. They brainwash them, promote peer pressure, give them hormones that will mess with their minds, and get counselors and therapists to lie to them. After all that they have the nerve to blame the parents who love them, so sick, this is all from the pit of hell and those that are complicit will face judgement.

Our society has become very hierarchical and psychopaths are best at climbing the ladder, so they take the top positions in organizations and impose their morals on the rest of society. I was banned from the psychiatry subbreddit with around 50,000 professionals because I shared a study that showed that mental health in LGBT people has deteriorated. There are attempts by good intentioned professionals to change the course of the medical profession, but they are ostracized. This will go on until they have accumulated a critical mass of victims and the tide will turn against them.

Not to be "that guy" but it is a big lie, and we all know where the big lie theory came from.

And the consequences are arriving ...

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.

I am so sorry that you had to go through this tragedy. It is true that transgender people have a much higher suicidality, as you have found out, and to be honest, I can understand why. It must be awful to look into a mirror each day and see something they don't like. But the crux of the matter is this: which young person doesn't like parts of their body? I have 5 children and all have grown up disliking something. What is also really awful I think is the (many) cases of young people realizing that they have been led down this dark path, had irreversible surgery, and then determined that the surgery is not the solution. So, I can understand why post-surgery suicidality is just as high as before surgery. To have young transgender people realising that their lives have been scarred for life for a lie is awful. I am praying for the day when the surgeons, the counsellors and the whole transgender industry is taken to court for their culpability and negligence.

Most of the studies are basically crap. They're questionnaires and over a remarkably short time frames and lack decent controls of comorbid mental health issues

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10027312/

A really long term study from Sweden says the suicide rate goes up by a lot (30 year study)

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885

Theory is the treatments just don't deliver what the patients imagined they would and since they're irreversible after the initial euphoria wears off, despair sets in.

And this is from the economist

My heart breaks for you. My son passed when he was 27, so I feel your pain. Tragic.

Your son did not pass in vain. His story will be shared and we pray that this world wakes up to the TRUTH. It was a phase for my daughter, too. She ended up in the hands of sex traffickers. There is no excuse for these tragedies. My prayers are with you for courage and strength.

Yes a criminal lie. Used to scare parents to allow gender 'care' against better judgement.

Sadly feel more tragedies like yours will come about because of the Big Lie and care that followed it.

Looking back, one of the first things that I told my daughter when she said she was a boy was, you know that this wonโ€™t solve your problems donโ€™t you? Youโ€™ll still have ADHD, youโ€™ll still have dyslexia, youโ€™ll still have anxiety, youโ€™ll still have the jerks at school. She said that she did know. Fortunately for us over the last year or so sheโ€™s been slowly desisting.
