Yes, I agree. We are still in it. I fear we may be in it for a long time to come because the therapists and doctors who are affirming this madness are still affirming this madness! Until that ends and they really help the person to understand what is truly troubling their mind and emotional development, there will be no end....and they are banking on it. I wish I felt more hopeful, but my son is 24 and has lost his way for 7 years now. I miss him!
Your post gives me hope that there might indeed be change in the air. Unfortunately my friend, who works as a school nurse, tells me quite the opposite: that an ever higher number of students are declaring themselves trans.
Thank you. You write so beautifully to the point where we are right now. We are still in the starting stages of a complete turnaround, I believe, with much more to come. I am no prophet but on down the road, I envision medical systems (there have always been a few medical people who kept their morals), authentic healing groups (there have been a few), and retribution centers (there were the few) being set up to help heal our shattered world, our shattered children and grandchildren. I long for this time to come soon, as I pray for my three young adult grandchildren who have been in this insane cult for years now. I have no idea of how they have harmed the bodies God gave them, the depths to which they were guided into as they have blocked any access I had to them. Someday, I hope to see them again, and I will tell them I love them, no matter what. For the psychiatrist who treated them all in their mental illnesses (who paved the way for them to be scammed), and all those who encouraged them to fall down the abyss, I have questions; "Are you seeing this change? Do you now know the truth? Will you be able to escape your complicity in what has happened to these fellow human beings?" Our family members, friends, those on the outskirts may be able to turn aside and shuck it all off, but there does have to be true justice done here. Maybe when those people read about another clinic closed, when another professional, doctor or facility is sued and exposed, then will auntie or cousin be able to deny their part in this horrific charade? Tide, keep turning. Love, Indio
I miss my relatives, sisters and friends also and I hope they come around some day also - but the problem is it's way too late. There's no fixing this. There's no fixing the relationships. There's nothing they can ever say or ever do anymore. None of it will ever make up for the hurt and pain this has caused me and my family. I am trying to not be bitter and resentful, but it's really tough some days. Forgiveness is one thing - but reconciliation? I don't know about that ... and you were the one to drive all that distance. What about them coming to you? Or at least meeting half way. Isn't that the least they could do? If they wanted to rekindle the relationship? Or was it you that wanted that and so decided to drive (which is something I want in my life also) - but I can't get past the part about them not wanting to do/say anything to me to get it started. I (and my family) was the one that was wronged ... And I can't understand why anyone gives one shit anymore about anyone's political stance. That's just a different version of virtue signaling in my opinion ... and look at that - I completely sound bitter. And I was actually trying not to ... thanks for writing this. It's true. Lots of people get to walk away and move on. We don't.
These are the people who benefited from being fake "woke" and now can act sane, but really they should be taking on the burden of undoing the harm they did -- speaking out, writing, and explaining how they were wrong in every way possible because too many are still in deep. It hasn't stopped, and is still going on, destroying our communities and killing people. They could make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for not giving up and reaching out to them. They need to fix it and give you a break.
The people who affirmed our children don’t have to deal with the long term consequences of their actions and words. They got to enjoy being the “cool” aunt, teacher or friend but don’t have to worry about the regret of the child, the loss of those years. They owe everyone an apology.
I'm so sorry, my heart is with you. May your child's heart someday change back to true and good things, and may you're hurting hearts hold steady until then 🙏😢🩵
I imagine if many people find out they were on the wrong side of history they will deny any connection to it to save their dignity. I'm tired of lies and so I will not lie. I believed in trans for years. I thought people who questioned it were hateful, dangerous, and ignorant. I thought I was transgender. I've led my peers astray. I affirmed my trans identified friends. I affirmed that self hatred and gender nonconformity meant you were born in the wrong body and needed to medicalize. I never dug deeper. I never asked them about their mental health or tried to get to the root of the problem. I just affirmed. My friend from elementary school was trans identified, at that age I'm certain its the parents. I believe that lying to your children and setting them up for unnecessary medicalization is abuse. I never said or did anything when my friend was being abused. I lied about my family saying my mom was dangerous when she didn't affirm me. She never abused me. I thought trans children were to be celebrated. I wasn't horrified when trans kids were sterilized or mutilated on TV. I was on the wrong side of history. I desisted before medicalizing thanks to my mother and state who didn't allow me to. I'm not a special type of person, I'm just lucky. My peers don't get to walk away. My peers were medically abused. I'm one of millions who believed in trans ideology. I wonder how many others will admit it. Maybe its easier because I was a kid for most of this, maybe its harder to admit you were an adult falling for a cult. Still I have more respect for people who can admit they were wrong than people who want to play innocent and then walk away
It takes a certain amount of courage for adult believers in Trans Toddlers (my son's phrase for the project) to admit that they were fools. The individuals you refer to don't possess it. I suspect that the three sisters of the OP...who all left the Democratic Party...must feel some guilt over their previous positions, and that guilt prevents them from apologizing to her directly.
I am sorry for what you went through and grateful to you for having the courage to explain how your worldview changed. Making mistakes (in the face of misinformation) is not morally wrong. Failing to acknowledge you ever made a mistake is.
This is such a terrible issue, so many confused on it, afraid to even question the Trans movement, just went along with it as it was wrapped in LGB approval. My daughter forever harmed by this, and her family as well. For what? Sick perverted men and a few women from what I have seen, to use people like my daughter for their weird fetish, a life forever harmed due to perversion, due to disorder. What a terrible new way discovered to "stick it to the man, and rebel", I pray such a social contagion never happens again.
I felt the same during/after Covid..I was the "outcast" in my entire family for not getting the vaccine. Now I'm the bad guy for not being willing to call my son "my daughter" and accept him as a female. Although I have hope...I've had some conversations with friends on the other side and when they hear about the things I know (surgery on minors, no mental health care, etc.) they are surprised... and then you can see the wheels start to turn. It makes me hopeful...but until we start making the medical system accountable I fear nothing will change. Especially for those with adult children...because they are adults... our hands are really tied

I lost so much trust for people I once respected on this issue. It breaks something inside of you.

So true-we -the parents are part of a very tragic club.

It takes, courage, integrity and humility to say what you just did!
Well Done!💕🙏

Boy, there's going to be a real tide of resentment as a result of this cult. A terrible time in our history.
