We left our kind, funny, shy and self-effacing son with you on a late summer evening. His initial impression of university was that everyone else was taking it in stride, having the experience he had been hoping for, and fitting in… and that he wasn’t. This intimidating start was followed by a relentless march of exhausting days, where each seemed harder than the one before. Eventually he withdrew. He was tired of being different, tired of being alone. He went online.
There are colleges where trans ideology is resisted. One example is Yeshiva University in NY. I’m not sure if Catholic universities are uniformly resistant but they are a good option. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if I had It do again, I definitely would have nudged my kid toward a less progressive college. I’m just grateful she opted to do a gap year before starting college.
This is the real conversion therapy - creating the 'trans' person. Signs on campus 'Are you trans?' - I hope such propaganda will be well used in court cases
It’s not just suing universities that’s going to move the needle, it’s also reaching alumni who might not be so generous if they understood what their gifts are going towards.
We could have written this nearly word for word. Can you say how your son is doing-how long on hormones? Our son has just started down this wrong path with complete enabling by what we view as inept if not worthy-of-a-malpractice-suit medical handling. But right now: we just want to save him and are looking for a happy ending if it’s out there!!!
I worked at a college psych service for years, and I’ve seen the craziness take root. Trans ideology is the primary driving force behind these mental health services. The students have pushed for not one but two trans staff members, as well as trainees that go by neopronouns. I can no longer work there because I cannot keep a neutral position.
Fortunately, the school my daughter attends is so small it doesn't have a student health service. It doesn't guarantee she won't medicalize, but it at least makes things a little harder.
I hope that lots of colleges and universities go out of business because of this scandal. They don't deserve to exist.
I 100% agree with what you have written. I feel the pain of seeing your only child falling into this trap. It is not just University healthcare that does not care.
In the UK nearly all the health services have the same attitude toward gender transition. They do not care.
We knew our beloved NHS was “on its knees” many years ago. The covid 19 pandemic has finally ended the ability of the Service to care about the vulnerable mental health victims.
Easy just to sterilise them. There is no money available to provide counselling.
Wow, First Step. This is a scathing indictment of one student health center, US university, and the entire "transgender" healthcare industrial complex. You have certainly done your homework and are up to speed on all the issues. I look forward to your lawsuit and hope you sock it to them big time where it really hurts -- right in the pocketbook
And I hope your son will soon wipe away the wool that the school and activists pulled over his eyes. I hope he will soon realize the very best way for him to live is authentically. As a man.
This has got to stop. I hope you are able to sue this University and that you prevail, both obtaining injunctive relief - an Order prohibiting the University from handing out hormones off label, like poison candy - and providing monetary damages to enable your son to recover from the experimental "treatments" he received. He should be awarded several million dollars - which, of course, won't really ever make him whole - but, hopefully, he will be able to live a happy, productive life despite what they have done to him.
Lehigh U in PA states on their student health website that they do not administer medications for off-label use. 👍

Ethics long ago went out of fashion
are you really suing the university? how do you have standing, since your child was presumably over 18? Is it because you paid tuition?

What university is this?
