Thank you for create this space!!!! Sadly is still very much alive, hopefully as David against Golliath we will win the battle. I lost "friends" because me always opposing this transgender issue, mainly liberals. I oppose political ideologies too because all this madness. When we became so single mind it? Democracy used to be a safe space to discuss in freedom what we think about something without being repressed or lost friendships. Now the liberals had became the dictators that support an issue they don't understand nothing about it, for their own sake, their selfishness and their virtue signaling because of they being the "nice and understanding ones" opposite to us, the "bigots and close minded repressive parents". And that is why we got here at this state of affairs, because of parents that had being indoctrinated to fit in accepting any craziness around, weak parents and people. I can't think that anyone on their own accord in this Earth would think that try to change your sex is right unless it had being some societal mind control or people simply had descended in madness and we don't recognized it anymore because we had normalized madness and the loonies are ruling the asylum that society had became.

"Five years ago today, we launched PITT. At the time, I truly believed that if people simply heard parents’ stories this ideology would come to an end. I thought (I realize naively now) that if people were exposed to the lack of evidence to support gender ideology, if they learned about what was happening in other countries, if they could come to see how decent, loving parents were being tarred as transphobic, if they read stories of the chemical castration of confused kids, they would be shaken out of their complacency, give up on “be kind” and see this for the medical scandal it is. But I was wrong."

I know! I thought "trans education" and "trans medicine" would end with the exposure given to it by 4thwavenow.com and Abigail Shrier! And, I was in shock that we ever got here. Yet, here we are. It feels surreal that all the reporting done regarding this social and medical scandal has not ended it yet, including the many stories on PITT.

Reporting examples outside PITT include:

1) Mengele Medical doctors like Dr. Thomas W. Johnson, Dr. Richard J. Wassersug, and Dr. Krister Willette:

https://reduxx.info/academics-involved-with-top-transgender-health-authority-publish-paper-on-choosing-castration/

"On November 3, the Archives of Sexual Behavior published a paper on “choosing castration” co-written by two academics who work closely with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)."...

"The Eunuch Archive is a long-standing forum which hosts nearly 10,000 fictional pornography stories of an extreme sadomasochistic nature. As previously reported by Reduxx, many of these stories feature a theme of the rape, castration, torture, and killing of children — specifically little boys."...

"In addition to having provided consultation to WPATH, Johnson and Wassersug have both been active members of the Eunuch Archive for decades and serve as the top administrators for the site. Johnson utilizes the moniker “Jesus,” while Wassersug is known as “EunuchUnique.”...

2) MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER : "The WPATH Files A new report exposing dangerously pseudoscientific surgical and hormonal experiments on children, adolescents, and adults"

https://public.substack.com/p/the-wpath-files

3) Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy (Ms. "Just-get-new-breasts"):

https://nypost.com/2024/10/23/us-news/doctor-refused-to-publish-trans-kids-study-that-showed-puberty-blockers-didnt-help-mental-health/

"A prominent doctor and trans rights advocate admitted she deliberately withheld publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study on the effect of puberty blockers on American children — after finding no evidence that they improve patients’ mental health.

Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy told the New York Times that she believes the study would be “weaponized” by critics of transgender care for kids, and that the research could one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.”

How do these quacks even have continued employment? This must all be pushed out of the US and "back to Brazil".

Thank you so much for your very important work for which we are all deeply grateful.

Thank you PITT editors for all of the amazing work and dedication. 4.5 years ago I was in shock and disoriented by the betrayal of people I trusted affirming my daughter into this self harm. I’m so thankful PITT was here to let me know I was not alone. The compassion of the community, sharing resources, their experiences, encouragement; it helped me navigate this nightmare and has continued to give me strength.

Forever grateful. 🙏🏼

"I was in shock and disoriented by the betrayal of people I trusted affirming my daughter into this self harm." Well put. Same here.

She moved away immediately after she graduated college and came home after 18 months.

Thank you Pitt editors!

I wonder if there’s a way to visually see all of us. I’d love to see a virtual gathering of the parents. How many are there of us? How many lost their children? How many got their kids back? Like a virtual rally, what space would we fill? Who would see us and how would that change their minds. If we could all be seen, heard and safe?

Thank you for your incredible work throughout the last 5 years! You give a voice to many families who otherwise have no way to share their stories, and you help to enlighten others to the pain that these families are going through.

Dear Ones, thank you for the time and energy you have put into this much needed fountain of love, knowledge and sharing. My story started 12 years ago when my beloved husband was dying and our teenaged grandson brought us a little book that explained why "he had always felt different". It wasn't because he had been born to deficient, selfish unmarried parents, it wasn't because he was autistic, it wasn't because he had been abused by multiple stepparents and possibly by half-siblings. No, it was because "he was born in the wrong body." The psychologist who was treating two of his half-siblings had established that he, also, needed to transition to find the peace that he sought. "Buddy" is now 30 years old, and as far as I can discern is still living as a woman who plays games, has never held a job, or learned to drive and lives with his mother who works the system. Buddy's mental illness was one more way. But thanks to brave Desisters and Detransitioners stepping forward more and more, lawsuits being successful, laws being changed, we, as family members will keep speaking up per PITT and the battle continues for reality. God bless us all, everyone, let's keep praying. Love, Indio

Thank you, PITT, for your beautiful devotion to helping parents and children for these past five years. Today, thank you for your beautiful encouragement to push past the pain and pursue joy even in the midst of enduring the horror of trans madness. Thank you!

I found PITT in the earliest and darkest days of this waking nightmare. It gave me comfort, strength, and hope. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories through posts and comments. You were a lifeline. Today, my daughter is still deluded and struggling with her mental health. But she is home with us now, getting proper therapy, and trying to get back work. She still believes she is a guy, but I think there may be a sliver of light getting through to that dark place. Sending my prayers and hopes for all the families grinding through this trial. Miracles do happen.

How long was she ‘gone?’

Echoing everyone else, I just can't thank you enough for providing a space for us who see this social and medical scandal for what it is, whether we have been touched by it personally (as parents or close relatives of a trans-identified individual or as a desister or detransitioner) or just feel it through observing the insanity at a distance, to share our thoughts and feelings and come together as a virtual community.

In fact, we are much more of a community - despite our many differences - than the purported LGBTQIA++ community, which is really a disparate group of unrelated individuals without a common core.

By contrast, the core of our PITT community is REALITY, TRUE COMPASSION, and REAL LOVE for the vulnerable individuals who have been caught up in this scandal.

Well said. I agree and I’m so thankful for that compassion.

Thank you, PITT! Very grateful to the editors, writers, and the general PITT community.

Thank you. Your perseverance in making sure parent voices are heard has been instrumental in getting us where we are today. It is going on eight years of my husband and I fighting for reality in our daughter’s life. Being able to read other parent’s stories has help me immensely.

I found PITT six months into my own natal daughter's overnight identity announcement in the middle of pandemic lockdown, so it has been 5 1/2 years. Reading other parents' experiences and exchanging comments here has been a lifeline. While we do not necessarily share the same political and other stances, what I find the strongest and most vital commonality is our clear love for our children, and a desire to see them happy, healthy - and whole. Thank you, PITT editors, and thanks to all those who have shared here.

Thank you, PITT! I have an immense amount of gratitude for you and the families I’ve connected with in this space. The impact has been monumental, no exaggeration. This outlet not only provided a place for me to write but to process, connect, and grow in ways I never would have imagined. This week an interview I did is expected to be released here in Minnesota which provided the opportunity for me to hold the two PITT volumes before the camera. I hope it remains and more families will come to see, as you wrote, “You are not alone!”
