You’re so right. Besides the grief and isolation, it is torture to witness my smart (formerly curious )grandchild’s embrace of trans and not willing to question or learn about the harms of cross sex hormones and the hideous surgeries inflicted on naive, vulnerable kids . My dear grandchild who used to be kind, clever, funny, adventurous and loving is now hateful towards anyone who disagrees with his beliefs and surrounds himself only with people who affirm his trans thinking. I consider all those affirmers to be child abusers: parents who affirm, teachers, counselors and therapists , doctors, nurses and every so-called “kind” person who goes along with the delusion instead of informing themselves of all the harms to the kids who have embraced trans ideology. They are choosing to be ignorant of all the evidence of lifelong harms to the kids. iThey are ALL child abusers causing devastating harm to the kids and their families.

There was no one. Not my siblings not my parents not my friends not a therapist that I would never have gone to see if I weren’t out of my mind like a caged parent watching my child be tortured. I am not never was and will never be a liberal so I did not see the extent to which our society had been indoctrinated to accept and encourage this hell.

What weakness.

I will never again have faith in anyone or any institution especially those claiming to be ‘experts ’.

men cannot become women and women cannot become men, embrace it, love it, do your best with it, be unique, be you, but you cannot change sex much less force people to lie about who you really are, because you are not going to lie; if you go to prison, or to war, or to the doctor, you may try but they will not be fooled, embrace reality and do your best. stop destroying beauty and nature and reality and yourself, become who you were meant to be in your skin with your born innate genitals and body, you only have one body, do take care of it, love it.

And yes as PITT parents very, very few came to sit with us as we were dragged down this hell hole. We were the tip of the spear and no one was behind us.

That feeling of ‘nobody is coming to save me’ was profoundly lonely for me. I am so sorry for your pain.

It’s mind boggling. Sanity is the radical view. Make it make sense.

exactly my experience just like that slowly then fast my daughter was gone. no one helped everyone pushed her done this path. i wonder who will be there when her heart and liver start showing the effects of testosterone, when she loses all her real friends and family. i hope there is real epiphany in this country and real consequence for the doctors and teachers and therapists that paved this way.

I learned in the 80a to never trust doctor. Doctors are so distrusted that Obama had to force Americans to purchase medical insurance. No one wants their witch concoctions. There is a new push to criminalize home birth— because no one wants a physician lead birth experience. When a business can petition the government to force citizens to use their services, that is the definition of fascism. Why is the Left so frightened of Christian nationalism? The Left is the boogieman they warn Americans about.

We let you down and blamed you for being in the way of our malpractice.

Thank you. I really appreciate you for saying that.

The brainwashing is everywhere, it’s not just on gender ideology. False flags, deep fakes, it has all become so much easier. They are messing with our minds and AI will only make it worse. But here are small sparkles of light. My family physician. A teenage boy complaining: why do we spend so much time on gender in class? Why do we have to learn all that terminology? Is there really nothing more important to learn? A journalist / philosopher who looked into the subject and noticed that something was not right about it. Humanity may move on, but the damage to our children will be done.

My heart goes out to you and to every parent who’ve lost his child to this horrendous cult. This pain is indescribable. I hope that one day people will learn the truth. We’ve never stopped fighting for our children.

It’s a money making cult. It’s a mental illness. Not physical. It is in ur head, what u think, what u feel, that is by definition mental.

Let’s not forget Doctors have been wrong in the past w grave results. This will be seen as the greatest malpractice of a generation.

Good luck to you. Hope u come home soon. Hope u find the strength to pull urself out of this cult despite “friends” and doctors of authority pushing u onward to ur inevitable demise. I hope it’s sooner rather than later so u have less complications to deal w as u try to put ur life back together. We feel for u even though u think the worst of us.

Sadly, the therapists and medical professionals who recognize “affirmation only” isn’t treatment, but is a denial of nuance and human complexity have been silenced.

To express concerns, reservations, or to have questions is by definition bigotry.

If “affirmation only” is so wonderful why can’t it withstand the light of day?

So called treatments that ban any scrutiny are functionally compelled experimentation.

Mommom's avatar

Agree but I think one step further. It is pure evil indoctrination. And we who see the truth are ostracized because people would have to admit what they have done to our children.

P.I. Miller's avatar

I feel tremendous grief for families and patients who made decisions without accurate or complete information. It is impossible for a child to have understood developmentally what was being done to them, or to have met the requirements of informed consent. Families were also bullied by the apparent consensus among “professionals.”

The fact that countries moved forward with treatments designed to change a child’s sex (which cannot be achieved) is abhorrent. This was done with weak medical evidence, no clear understanding of long-term health outcomes, and on children.

Being blinded by moral righteousness in an effort to alleviate suffering is no excuse, even if it is an explanation.

We all need to find each other

"The therapist. The other therapist..." That really resonated. Trying to find a professional, any professional, who could actually listen and hear, and the painful realization that the horizon was hollow. Right there with you and alongside you.

Ditto…& the more I tried to find a ‘specialist’ the worse it got

I was never liberal, but I thought that eventually people would see the obvious: that vivisection of children is a bad idea. I underestimated how thorough the brainwashing has been.

Standing with you. There are those of us who will continue to broadcast the light, no matter what.

I was extremely impressed with your series on the issue in the Christian Post, Brandon.

Generation Indoctrination docu-podcast? Stay tuned. Might have one more episode coming soon.

I just today saw your post about the USAID staffers in Johannesburg. Makes perfect sense, really. Under the guise of humanitarianism, a vector for the disease.

Brandon Showalter's avatar

It's so horrifying, isn't it!

paleblue's avatar

That's the one. I will look for it!

With you dad-yes, we parents are alone. We must never give up hope or stop shouting. The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it, just set it loose.

Never stop speaking the truth to anyone who will listen.
