What a beautiful essay! I do not who you are referring to but I know the New Yorker. Can come something good from NY?
Anyway, this man who wrote this "justification piece" is lame and weak, as all the ones who read it and thinks that he is such a "wonderful and good" father. Is he exalting himself? As "dont let me aside! I, too I am going trough this and accompanying my son in this wonderful thing he is doing". But you made a very good point. I wouldn't label this issue under any ideology only when is pertinent, we don't want here to make it political or personal. The topic is without borders, statically liberal families and states have more transgender people and that is a fact and to know this is useful to study why is that, not to blame anybody per se, maybe some people should change their political and ideological views if they understand that are dangerous for society because we need to work together as a nation and don't let be divided but for that we need to be mature adults that can see at the facts without prejudices, emotions or sentiments. Transgenderism is just a symptom of very deep issues and the degrading of "once" a civilized society, once because since we have doctors medicated children with hormones to stop their natural development, we are not more civilized, and worse we are experimenting on children and people I thought that was prohibited in by the ONU and UN and many international organizations, Nuremberg and all that. Transgenderism in children is a different category than in adults because we have the rights to protect our children not to push them to the cliff as the Etruscan did when a child have some "problem". Infantile transgenderism is an issue that involved the parents and so many other organizations and it must be stopped in courts and by law and docotors and schools and organizations AND parents need to be prosecuted, because I see parents pushing their kids when their kids as usual don't have any idea of what is all abut it. I was watching an English show of a family in which the boy of 8 years old was raised as a girl and how the boy was protesting and telling his mother all the challenges at the school and all, he wanted to play with boys but the boys looked at him as "weird", etc. I don't like these shows but I watched them to see the psychology of these parents and how things work, if you don't know the enemy you cannot fight it. The father is invisible, the mother runs the freak show, in other times when the West was civilized, those children should be removed from that home and the parents in a mental asylum, no nowadays. I said children in plural because there are another couple of "lesbians" that are rising two children in their opposite sex. Where are the rights of the children???? The children have the right to a Mother and a Father, reminds me the adoption by homosexual couples, that shouldn't be allowed by the sake of the children, the two gay couples that I know personally are struggling and their children are already in therapy but I would have tell them what is the problem, they don't have a mother! Those girls are going to school and see Mothers around. What men gay couples say to their adopted or conceived children in repugnant ways ( one of them was explaining how the doctor mixed in vitro both sperms so their chid have more of both, if that is possible. Then they looked for a "womb" to grow the "fetus" and they talked as if they are narrating a vacation trip, so narcissistic and selfish and materialist) to their children when they asked where are their mothers? Everyone has one! In spite they want to put women out of the picture completely and that is the reason why there are trying to create humans in acrylic or glass wombs and experimenting in human life in laboratories all around the world. Yes, everything is connected because the amount of propaganda as the piece in the New Yorker, are everywhere and that shows me that this issue belongs to an agenda, one that the ultimate goal is the destruction of the society and its natural laws, the destruction of humans beings. That is what we are fighting against and they have all the resources, so parens need to do what it takes to protect their children to all costs, sometimes removing their children from negative surroundings.
Please send this to as many publications as possible. We parents dealing with ROGD sons and daughters do live in anguish. We have been traumatized and our sons and daughters groomed. It’s a horrible scourge and the evil will never win.
This article is absolutely full of gems. I felt this very deeply: "In response to a child’s insistent new language, high emotion, and confounding beliefs, adults can sometimes become infected too, and lose touch with their autonomy and agency. This is not parenting. It’s not even personhood." Yes, exactly. I think this is why I had a recurrence of depression. All of a sudden all the words/rules/plans/etc. were upended and I felt like my kid's brain had been hijacked. I wish I could go back and say NO. Just absolutely NO. But we all wish we could "go back," as if it would change anything.
And, "Sometimes things feel right not because they are right, but because they are easier." I can't add to that. It's absolutely perfect.
To whoever wrote this, THANK YOU. You have an amazing way with words, please keep writing and sharing with us. You have a gift.
“We let pathological empathy rule our minds instead of grounding ourselves in difficult truth.”
This. It goes beyond trans ideology. Somewhere in the mid-oughts, a trend of “gentle parenting” came about. Now, nobody is authorizing violence or abuse, but this trend in parenting involves getting down to their level and validating every last emotion to absolute death, with lengthy explanations behind every parental decision, all in very “emotionally intelligent” therapist-sanctioned language. Thus we have a generation VERY adept on expressing what they want and how they feel, but are master manipulators, and often don’t know or care how their actions affect others.
Throw in the pathologically empathetic influence of schools, their SEL and deviant sex ed curricula, the YouTube influencers, and a pride children’s section at every Target…it’s a perfect storm.
No one is knocking empathy, but this hits the nail on the head, and it is so analogous to alcoholism: why are we getting in the car with drunk drivers and letting them decide where we go?
If a parent doesn't do this, rescuers will "help" the child. Schools, doctors, community groups, random passerby, glitter relatives, celebrities, those held up as successful...you name it.
Transing oneself is relentlessly presented to us as a hero's journey - in the schools, in the media, by the medical establishment and by the politicians. It is not. Parents who succumb to this narrative are swallowing big blue pills like in "The Matrix" to pretend that all is well, closing their eyes and trying to feel happy. They do not want to feel the impact of devastation. They are denying all of their own misery and their own child's misery and the misery of every family member - not to mention the truth.
But James Marcus takes it to another, wicked, level by amplifying his own harmful choice:
"His words wheedle us all to normalize the abnormal, and see the siren song as innocent and true."
It is interesting that "The Matrix" was created by a pair of brothers who later decided "the truth" was that they are actually sisters, and reality is fake (so Gnostic). Sex is not real!

James Marcus IS the siren.
What do we want? Christian Nationalism.
When do we want it? Now.
I hope this was sent to the NY TImes!
Poignantly truthful .

This is disgusting! I can’t read your article and I always read your articles!
OMG we can’t read this in the UK!! It says it goes against our online laws!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The British government hasn't been this evil since the Plantagenets
Wow. So well stated.

The nyt, too.

"It was not enough to quietly congratulate himself, he wants others to congratulate him, too."
The Transgenderism panic is all about glorifying narcissism. Every last bit of it.
awesome... there is no substitute for raw truth... none.
Perfectly, honestly, and beautifully written. Thank you!
Such a poetic essay about the horrid ugly lies that are stealing our children and those that cooperate with this horror.
Live not by lies, I believe is a brief summary.
