Your daughter is walking on a narrow, creaky boardwalk through a swamp. She spots a beautiful flower and cautiously steps off the boardwalk to get it. "She has waterproof boots," you think, "she will be fine". She takes a step towards the flower and begins to sink, a strangely pleasant feeling. Full of frogs and flowers, the swamp looks enchanted. Her friends are around, cheering. "Mom," she yells, "This swamp is the best!" Horrified, you stretch out your hand: “I will pull you out! Hold tight,” you say. But she doesn’t want to get out and by now she is too far for you to grab her.
Brilliant analogy! It brought tears to my eyes. Why is this so hard? I adore my gorgeous daughter but she hates her feminine body and it rips at my soul!
Dear God ,these stories are so heartbreaking and it infuriates me no end that splitting up the nuclear family and the rest of society is the ultimate aim of these evil ideologies. What kind of demonic mind can promote this horror and how dumb and foolish do you need to be to support it ? Parents who have young , preschool age children ,really need to innoculate their children against this and then homeschool them !! Children need to be given a proper education ,in the real world,not indoctrination into a Marxist / Communist dystopia which killed MILLIONS in the 20th century ,right up to the present day. My heart goes out to parents whose children have been caught up in this ,but when these kids come to their senses and realise they've been lied to ,the TQ +++ "community" will condemn them for " heresy " and abandon them !! The parents will be left to pick up the pieces ,as parents do.🙏🙏🙏❤️
Beautiful allegory! We will not able to breath until the swamp is drained, so right, worst the swamp is getting bigger, extends farther and touching beyond.
My son is in the swamp and I can't do anything but pray. He's 23 and has cut off every family member because we won't "believe" this BS. It's not enough to say "it's your life" "we love you and are here for you no matter what" NO...we have to "believe" that he is a woman. Don't tell me this isn't a cult that is very "scripted". 😪😡
Lisa, I alternate between anger and despair. My "non-binary" daughter just visited a gender clinic today. I am walking around in a zombie state. 2.5 years of this. She completely shuts me down when I try to approach this toxic subject, refused to answer when I asked her if there was fear beneath her anger. I spend hours online trying to find something to share with her that she will actually watch or listen to. I get it, nothing to do but pray. I just ordered Oli London's memoir. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/gender-madness-oli-london/1143265153
I am adamantly against this cult and have been fighting it in writing for 50 years and so much want to protect all the girls and boys and adults as well who are sucked into it, but please don't add to the hatred of nature that is connected to denying the nature of female and male. I know the political slogan "drain the swamp," but our earth is being destroyed by rich corporations who drain swamps, destroy forests, and also vilify innocent animals, like snakes who are no danger. The danger is the same corporations who are making money off suffering and destroying people's lives through surgery and drugs.
Indeed, playing in a swamp - aka a natural wetland - is perfectly healthy, most of the time. What we have here is an unnatural danger - a combination of profit motive on the part of some, sexism on the part of others, homophobia on the part of others, and lurid interest on the part of a few others.
A closer analogy would be this:
You're walking in a swamp and you encounter a fellow in a lab coat who says, "It may seem safest to continue on the boardwalk, but in fact I can tell that for *your* daughter, the safest path is down this narrow rotten rail I've laid down here. Even if you can't see it more than a few feet into the reeds, and even if it looks shaky and dangerous, *trust me*, this is the safer path.
"If your daughter continues on the regular old boardwalk, she'll slip off and drown for certain! I can tell by looking at the shape of her feet and the cast of her hips - it's settled science. I'm a doctor, so you'd better trust me - oh, and you'll have to pay me for the privilege of using my rail here, too.
"No, I haven't used it myself, nor have I actually followed anyone down its long and murky course, nor do I know where it ends - but you'll simply have to trust me. I'm a doctor. What are you, anti-science?"
My son is slipping into the swamp and my heart is breaking while I’m judged by other parents saying I have to be there for him. Being there for him is saying no. So heartbreaking.
Wishing you strength too because you really will need it. I am resigned to taking sides. Against my whole entire diplomatic personality but this is too serious
This gender-cult is worse than the creature from the black lagoon and the curse of the swamp creature combined. Your analogy was excellent!
And then they come out of the swamp looking like “Swamp Thing” - is there a movie in this?? 😫😩😤😭
Brilliant analogy! It brought tears to my eyes. Why is this so hard? I adore my gorgeous daughter but she hates her feminine body and it rips at my soul!
This cult is more dangerous that any of the ones you mention.
I’m disgusted with the trans cult!
I agree about Jonestown. The poison koolaid!
Perfect allegory.

Love this. So many of our kids are sinking into the swamp.

I am so sorry
I've heard about that book and his story. I'm reading my Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans book and can't put it down.
I am so very sorry for you! It must be so difficult and frustrating and also infuriating at the cult who did this !

Also spot on!! Thank you!
That is brilliant!!! Exactly!
I understand your concern.perhaps we should think of this one as a toxic waste swamp that doesn’t allow life in it .. totally polluted.
Yes, exactly!
This is a very vivd picture of the nightmare we are all living except some of us have not been able to pull her out yet.
such a vivid heart wrenching picture...and oh...so...true...

being there is saying no. it's misery and heartbreak. but love means saying no. no. never.
Agree! Being there is saying, no! Truer words have never been said. Going through the same. Wishing you strength. It’s such a difficult road.
