Parents and grandparents:

As many of you know I have been speaking out on your behalf for years and will continue doing so. I am making a documentary about you. Not about your children, about you. Your anguish and your shattered families and the institutional betrayal you've experienced. Trust me I have your backs. I hope to have good news soon.

Thank you for making a documentary for us parents in pain.

This gender craziness, just barely scratching the surface of my experience, has been going on with my beautiful child in my life since about 2015 when she alluded to “feeling like a boy” (and this is not including any reference to my own Tomboy childhood!)… and since 8/1/2018, when my daughter was 15, we haven’t had a single private conversation.

Then, in 2023, without my knowledge, she moved clear across the country with her stepsister. I haven’t heard from her since I briefly saw her at her dad’s in 2020 … (he has only been “affirming”)

All I know is, besides doing music, maybe she has a job? I don’t know, and since it’s been now nearly 8 years… and still nothing, what can I do? There’s nothing to do without human to human contact and conversation.

(Realize this is merely a minuscule clip of the situation)

Yes. I agree with this. It should be obvious that every word here is truth.

"Chosen family" (the way it is used now in this sphere - by itself it's a legitimate concept) reminds me of documentaries about gangs and organized crime. It's all the same tactics. And of course it's long been a favored gambit of the individual groomers as well.

I was told that when my child said some incredibly hurtful things, my eyes getting watery and my taking a minute (literal minute, but even a few minutes) to process the pain so I could go on like normal, was aggressive and harmful to him. It was proof that I am hateful and unsafe.

How do you respond to that? When just having feelings and dealing with them inside yourself in a calm (and quick) way is an attack? I was driving even. With my back to them and they were all laughing and goofing off in the back seat. The only way they saw was if they were watching in the mirror for it.

It literally feels like I'm living an alternate reality.

Again.

You have said it so well. Thank you. There were times over the years when I asked myself, "Gee, AM I toxic? AM I oppressive?"

Keith Harbaugh's avatar

Wait a minute. It is not the parents that are toxic, it is the transgender ideology.

The transgender ideology is doubly anti-family.

On the one hand, children who buy into it will not have children of their own.

OTOH, in the cases described it is breaking up a family relation.

What a toxic, to families, ideology!

If you were the devil, who would you want to separate your victim from? Would you want to isolate that victim so that you could destroy them? Of course you would. The one thing that stands between your child and the god of this world is you, and you are the enemy to him. You are the one who loves your child, he does not. He convinces the child that rebellion is freedom, and that freedom is happiness. He convinces the child that you are the enemy and you only want to control and pass judgement.

This is the enemy we are dealing with. Prayers for all of the parents out there who are dealing with the terrible loss of their beloved children. We must remain strong and ready to stand with truth, no matter what. When and if they do come back, we must love and welcome them. Their testimonies will be the only weapon against the enemy that ensures that this never happens again.

I see this as a much larger issue, and, as another commenter said, as a matter of spiritual warfare. So much of what is happening in the west can be chalked up to the scourge of cultural Marxism, and it has been happening since before the sexual revolution. We are experiencing the logical conclusions of these destructive ideas. One of the tenants of Marxism is the destruction of the family and all other institutions FOR THE SAKE OF DESTRUCTION. Discarding your parents because they don't agree with your twisted ideology is Marxism 101. Check out Jordan Peterson's interview with the author of "The Devil and Karl Marx" by Dr. Paul Kengor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOFIHp6aTuE

When our kids do return to their senses, they will come back to us, because they know in their heart of hearts that we actually do love them, and more than anyone else. And my arms will be wide open. The glitter family and influencers are all fair-weather "friends." I just want as many of our precious ones to come back as intact as possible.

A little story of hope for anyone who is reading this: we are fresh out of a seven year hell where my stepdaughter thought she was trans. Her biological mother bought her chest binders at 14 and she moved out of our home when she was 16 to her mothers bc we “didn’t love her” because we would not affirm her delusion and call her a he/him. The world and her mother and stepfather and many other family members lied to her for years. After two years on testosterone, she stopped last October just after she turned 20. She is now fully embracing her womanhood and allllll the parts of herself that she would not accept and shunned. We are all grateful she did not cut up her body. She is growing and learning and realizing what she has lost these last 7 years and what has been done. So many sleepless nights and months of my life (not to mention the heartbreaks my husband experienced throughout) in cumulative time of research deep in this world…my heart goes out to all who are suffering while their children go off… I pray that one day they all return. I see you. I hear you. I feel you. I am you and I’m so sorry any of this ever came into any of our lives.

Keep loving your children, even when it’s the hardest of hard. Have hope ♥️ and most of all, take care of yourself.

“Because the true love of a father and a mother does not operate on approval. It operates on commitment.”

This will become my talking point with my son. Beautifully and powerfully stated.

He’s too far gone to detransition but I’m hoping to save him from a truly toxic groomer he thinks he loves.

This is a very profound piece of common sense and truth. Thank you.

Oh that's scary, honey. Praying for him!!❤️‍🩹

I see it as spiritual warfare. Only evil could cause a child to turn against their parents-- the ones whom they always trusted the most. Who else, in the world, would our children be so cruel to? If only they could see the cause of their own manipulation. The illustration with this really struck me! The online brainwashing. Plus the indoctrination in schools and other media. It has proven to be a sick, evil trend, with we parents left holding the bag of agony. The enemy is behind all of this, with his efforts to divide and destroy all that is good-- the family.

You are absolutely correct. I just this morning listened to a video that really started out about the a woman who was in Mexico when the chaos happened there a few weeks ago...but she goes into a lot of what is really going on...if anyone is interesting the Rumble Channel is LostinTransationShow and it was the latest video Simone Live in Mexico. I'm going to listen again. EVERYTHING is connected. The enemy comes to steal kill and destroy and as a spiritual battle it has to be fought spiritually! I truly believe that God is about to move His hand because if we had to fight this on our own it would take forever. There is SO much happening! Keep the faith!! Justice is coming, Vengeance is the Lord's, and judgement begins in the house of the Lord.....there will be a lot of people shocked by what they are about to learn!

I couldn’t agree more with what is in this post. But the idea that the children must choose to see their parents differently than they have been brainwashed to believe, is an idea that must be born from within them. They are in so deep in that this suggestion from an outsider is useless.

So thoughtfully expressed.

An important distinction is being lost. There is a difference between protecting a young person from real harm and encouraging them to cut off their family over disagreement.

In some online spaces, affirmation has replaced guidance. But affirmation without critical thought is not support, it is mindless. Many young people do not have the emotional or financial means to stand alone. The risks are real, including homelessness, instability, and lost years when identity becomes the sole focus.

Development takes time, connection, and the chance for relationships to evolve. Pushing separation as a first response can leave a young person more vulnerable, not less.

This is not a short term decision. It is a long term loss for everyone involved.

Verzweifelte's avatar

Going no contact is a blow, which you cannnot parry and at first an easy victory for the young. It takes some time til the realisation of the loss elaborates itself. There is no way to get rid of the parents without consequences for the soul.

this is why deadname is a trans manipulation against parents

the overreaching for the decades when not being straight meant family exile

but Glitter family is grooming, while chosen family was recovery and community
