My children are autistic. My older daughter thought she was a trans boy from ages 14 to 16. She's now 19 years old now, very feminine and doesn't want medical transition but remains confused on the concepts of trans and gender. She thinks gender can be a mythical creature identity.
Space and time...what is the rush? It seems that these young kids and teenagers caught in the trans-cult ideology are in such a hurry to change their healthy bodies as soon as possible. Why? I just do not understand it. One day everything is fine and home lives are happy and all of a sudden a bomb goes off and the word "trans" enters into our world. The next thing we know, our once sweet, innocent and loving child becomes a hateful, resentful and mean person. The once happy home life is destroyed and there is no longer peace or joy. It does seem that the attraction for this trans-movement is drawing autistic children in very quickly. It breaks my heart. My sweet nephew who was on the spectrum dove into this ideology head first and refused to think about anything other than taking hormones and becoming a girl. A girl! My nephew is ALL boy, played sports, was a Boy Scout, played instruments, loved to surf, and once had big dreams about an Ivy-League College - he was happy, and thriving! Now he is hiding somewhere, refusing to talk or see his parents, and still wants to become a girl. I am sorry you have been dealing with this evil-trans drama for five years and that you have two daughters who have been semi-brainwashed. I was sure my nephew would snap out of this dream-state but he has yet to see the truth. This social-contagion needs to be addressed and stopped at all costs. Our children's lives and futures are at stake.
Thank you for writing this. We did not recognize that our daughter was autistic when she was 14-16. It happened when she was 20 and already deep in this. When you write about the fixation on stickers, colors, flags, labels, boxes...yes yes and yes. All of that. We just thought she was cute, sweet, innocent and creative. Thank you for helping me to see this.
I have a hard rule, no trans friends if your kid says they are trans. I had a suspect girl show up to my house- I asked her first to remove the mask that I don’t allow masks- which she did… then I followed her into my daughters room. I asked her what her name was- Alex- not a giveaway. So I asked her what was off with her? She said what do you mean? I said , there’s something off (because there it was obvious). I asked her if she was autistic. She said no. Then she proceeded to explain that she’s a boy that used to be a girl. I said you are trans? Yes. So I said I have a hard no trans rule in this house. I told her she had to leave. I walked her out.
You can’t have other trans kids around your kids if you don’t want your kids to be confused. This is a social contagion. It’s the same as having a drug addict around drug users… you can’t do it.
How old are your kids? Is your daughter trans-identified or is it a preventive measure? I would be a bit worried that my kid would just take the "trans party" elsewhere, to a more "accepting" home. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer... (But maybe your way is right, i don't know of course)
This was when she was 17. Last year. She said she was a boy back then. Now she doesn’t . We have put in hard rules and never affirmed this imaginary trend. She’s always liked boys, she is a girl, puberty gave her a curvy body and she clearly wasn’t comfortable with it. Also she’s overweight. She’s better now mostly. Going off to college. Fuck trans anything
“Many people with no first-hand experience of being a mother to teens right now think they know better and won't listen or understand.” This quote encapsulates the problem. Those people do not get a say, an opinion or a vote in how parents raise their kids, and we need to stop acting as if their opinions matter. We are the ones who will help our kids navigate their mistakes, and we are the ones who will help pick up the pieces afterwards. Therefore, we get the first, last and only decision-making authority. In my house, thank goodness there’s been no issues with cross gender identity so far. But there are other health and medical related issues on which we’ve had deep disagreements with family and friends. For those who were interested in an open minded discussion, we were willing to explain our perspective and listen to theirs. Once. After that they needed to accept that we had “heard them” and that decisions were up to the parents, and the parents alone. For people who didn’t get the hint, or made judge or snide comments, they were quickly shown the door in our relationships. I welcome relationships with people who disagree with me, but once we’ve discussed it, then it’s time to move onto other, less controversial subjects. And if I ever hear someone quote a politician by saying, “It takes a village to raise a child” or “There’s no such thing as other people’s children,” then you can be assured that person will never be given alone time with my kids.
Beautiful, straight from a mother's heart. Big tech Bros and surgeons looking to expand their surgical resumes by experimenting on children do not have a mother's heart. They have no idea or appreciation for the concerns you articulate here. Technology today is moving so fast, so far ahead of us we're left picking up the pieces not even knowing what hit us. Please keep speaking out. I'll do the same. I am a lone wolf among a circle of super, happy, joyful, empathetic progressives. I've lost some friends for speaking about the darker side of the rainbow. I agree it's not a gay thing. I don't know if it's even a trans thing. From my perspective, it's a tech thing. Sending my best to you and your children.
“I don't want my daughter to be harmed. I will be the one that sticks by her for her entire life, no matter the pain she faces. All the people making her feel celebrated to go down a harmful path will walk away and not be there for her when things become difficult. They might even turn on her and be hurtful to her, as many have been to me.” This is what I say to my son and to others when they ask how I feel about all this and what he is choosing to do.
These ideological predators will never personally deal with the repercussions of their crimes against our children’s mental, physical, and spiritual health nor do they care to. When it’s no longer profitable or popular, they will quickly and quietly retreat leaving behind the destruction of their war for us to pick up the pieces and clean up their mess.
Five of her classmates medically transitioned does anybody have any solid numbers on the amount of adolescence on blockers, or are having or had surgery
from the ground, it feels like it is everywhere, but as to numbers and statistics, it might be a very small percentage of the total population. Once again, a systematic review of evidence is called for, but the people who need to be asking have their heads in the sand.
It's got to be a ridiculously iarge number; yet the activists keep on quoting absurd statistics like "trans people are only 0.006 percent of the population, so why the big deal [over trans rights]?"
I call major BS on that. Perhaps their stat is correct if you're counting all peoole up to age 100 -- but anyone can see that many, many times that percentage of kids in our schools and colleges have declared a trans identity.
I guess teachers would have the most accurate information on the number of medical transitioners in their classes and schools. But I doubt the activists want people to know.
My 17-year old just got her diagnosis last fall. It was the trans ID that led us to get tested. Now it all makes more sense. I am reading "Lost in Trans Nation" looking for talking points out of the madness. I need her to have time to grow up and college is looming. I'd prefer her not to go (we are in Ohio) and have a year to navigate that conversation. Since I am a HS teacher, most of me wants to start an alternative (to college) school for level 1 autistic kiddos.
I'm scared for my younger daughter to go to college in 2 years. I hope she stays close to home. I never could have imagined this back when I was out of college and having babies.
I think there are many of us who are older, just quietly waiting for this craziness to blow over and pushing back in small ways. If we're too outspoken, we lose our jobs and are replaced by zealots. I imagine it's the same situation with doctors and therapists.
I like to browse the Reddit Detrans site to get insight into all of this from the POV of those who got caught up in it. There is a thread in which teens and young adults talk about how betrayed they feel by parents who DID affirm their gender identities. They wish their parents had understood that they were too young to make such life-changing decisions and had protected them from themselves. Remember that when you are afraid of losing your kids by not affirming. You could just as easily lose them by playing along with their delusions, and they will wonder why you didn't protect them when they come to their senses down the road. We can't know what will happen, but I think it's better to be true to our conscience and to be honest with them.
This is precisely why my wife and I will never “affirm” something we clearly will never believe. To do so would betray our daughter, even if she does hate us for it (hopefully temporarily...)
Why call them autistic, when it may be adult world that is strange in and off itself? When you look at the world, I find it easy to think, that normal kids could just feel appalled by us and it, so no wonder they do not understand! If only they knew that to be normal... they might understand why they do not fit in?
I get the label avoidance and maybe I'm not sure where you are going Marc, but autism exists (it always has) and autism is a predisposion or risk factor that makes gender BS especially sticky. Sometimes labels are very very helpful. It's helpful for me to know that the woman who raised me is on the spectrum. It makes it easier for me to love and accept her for the beautiful brain she has, it gives me patience in dealing with the quirks, and it lets me know when I need to protect her, fiercely from others.
Autism is a condition known to be prevalent in children that are caught up in the trans social contagion. Autistic children are more susceptible to the influence of cults of all types, not just the gender cult.
My older daughter has had learning differences her whole life (which also includes advanced abilities). She had trouble making friends because she focused on her special interests. When kids don't have a framework for understanding themselves, they blame themselves. Her diagnosis has helped her tremendously in her personal life and navigating school. Her genetic testing showed a chromosomal difference. There's no shame in being different, and it's been helpful to her to be able to understand her differences and how to navigate it successfully. I'd appreciate if people could focus on the point of the article, instead of asking me to elaborate on autism.
Thank you. My 17 yr old daughter had also several "diagnoses". They can indeed be helpful and necessary to progress. We fortunately skipped the transcult more or less, probably because German schools might handle this a bit different than the US.
Sad times for young kids these days. My niece was captured at college. Unfortunately, parents need to discuss this cult with their young children to let them know bad people are trying to harm them (including educators). I'm angry I had to talk to my two young boys about this often and take some of their childhood away. They are teens now and have no chance of getting brainwashed themselves. The discussions were often and honest. Teach your kids from a young age there are only two sexes and the gender crap is a bunch of BS trying to confuse them. Talk about it often.
Many parents seem reluctant, or afraid, to follow the no BS course you recommend. But I think it's the only way to save your kids from the brainwashing that's going to be attempted on them. Parents have to take charge from the very beginning.
I think for many of us Gen X parents, the gender BS caught us by surprise. Just like in the 80's, I knew about gay people, but very few were out publicly in my little bubble of suburbia. I knew of "transvestites", but only saw the one dude in a dress and lipstick at the laundromat. It was such a fringe thing for years and easy to think, "no, not my kid. She's too smart for that nonsense." By the time I realized how captured everyone was, it was too late, the horse was out of the barn and we've been backpedaling ever since. The advice I consistently give to parents of younger kids is; pay attention to everything , know exactly what your kids are doing online, be as involved in the school as you can. I won't know for years if my girl will desist or if she'll ever be safe from the lure of the trans cult. I can only keep telling the truth and hope it will matter to someone.
It is heartbreaking to be an educator these days as be used as a tool for this evil. I've read that even new biology books are in the pipeline that reflect our new, "more evolved," understanding of sex and gender. At the school where I work, I've been outspoken about my belief that teachers have no business socially transitioning kids and keeping the information from parents, or telling kids they were "assigned" a gender at birth. As a result, I'm not asked to lead any clubs. I might be a bad influence on kids!
My favorite part; “I will be the one that sticks by her for her entire life, no matter the pain she faces. All the people making her feel celebrated to go down a harmful path will walk away and not be there for her when things become difficult.” 🎯
My autistic daughter is 27 and having horrible life difficulties we have no idea how to help her with. At various times, I’ve wanted to leave or have her leave but the reality is as spoken above. We will be the ones with her for life. My trans daughter as well but her ASD is more functional and she actually expresses compassion for those around her.
Mostly I live in a muddled state of existence and continue to pray and seek assistance from various sources. There is always hope.

Thank you. Yes, my friend circle is very progressive also. I will write more about my experiences soon. 🌻
The dark side of the rainbow is exactly the right term for describing the truth which is concealed under the bright touching colours.
Amen! Louder for those in the back.

It's still rather difficult for a girl, who functions well, to get a diagnosis. Especially if a bright girl knows how to answer the test questions.
Five of her classmates medically transitioned does anybody have any solid numbers on the amount of adolescence on blockers, or are having or had surgery
Yeah, 5 transitioned, but between my kids they have 15 to 20 friends that are trans identified. And in many families it's all of the kids.
from the ground, it feels like it is everywhere, but as to numbers and statistics, it might be a very small percentage of the total population. Once again, a systematic review of evidence is called for, but the people who need to be asking have their heads in the sand.

I guess teachers would have the most accurate information on the number of medical transitioners in their classes and schools. But I doubt the activists want people to know.
Maybe there’s a way to see how Many Lupron prescriptions were given out, possibly looking at the sales numbers.

Yes, different countries are handling it different. I'm in one of the most trans infused parts of Canada.

This actually seems like it would work, similar to how educating kids on suicide actually helps prevent them from ever doing so
