all very valid points - but what do those of us with trans-identifying children do? especially once over 18, but before that mine was telling the "counsellors" how abusive we were for not affirming them, our punishment was her leaving home at 16 (encouraged unbeknown to us by school), then the self-harm began, resulting in us doing anything to get her home & safe - blackmailed into using new pronouns & name, constant fear of more cutting, another overdose etc...

I thought we were a normal loving family, but the gender beast has uprooted everything and changed relationships & family dynamics forever. I live with constant sadness & fear of what might come next. Watching my healthy child ruin their life, completely powerless to say or do anything !

Thank you for speaking up; especially because you do not currently have a horse in the race but you clearly comprehend how the the new “rules” are changing so many things.

I hope that more people like you will calmly state their opposition to this new world order. I, and many others I suspect, would like to shout, “The Emperor has NO clothes!”. Instead, I will gently and repeatedly state the many ways transgender affirmation and ideology are harming individuals, families, communities and countries. Thank you for your honesty, clarity and bravery.
