It's great to see this; I'll have a listen. Myself and a pal were just talking last week about how few 'gender' sceptical voices there were in music - of those artists widely known, I could only think of Roisin Murphy and John Lydon who have spoken out on the issue directly, albeit Morrissey has also said something more obliquely. I may have missed some, of course.
Music is such a universal language. It taps into every human experience and emotion. And sometimes when I just need to cry and relieve the pressure I go to music. Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats have one called “I’m on your side” that never fails.
First of all, thank you for your post. Secondly, there are many, myself included, who understand what you are going through (not to the same intensity) but we are very concerned by the rise of this pernicious, egregious ideology called gender ideology.
As a husband, father and grandfather, I am truly concerned about the safeguarding issues raised by this ideology. Men, going into women's toilets is such an obvious concern. We can all remember the boy, in Virginia, who went to school and raped a girl in the toilet. When he was moved to another school, he raped another girl. All this was hushed up, to give the State time and space to push through their gender ideology laws. Men, who have raped/ sexually assaulted women, are then sent to women's prisons. This brought down the Scottish Government when there was such an outcry at the prospect of a convicted rapist being sent to a women's prison.
I am also truly concerned by the fact that medicines are being given "off label". Drugs that are for one problem are being prescribed for our young children. Lupron is being given as a puberty blocker. But Lupron is given to rapists to chemically castrate them. Do we really want to castrate our children? But what about the side effects of Lupron. Bones become brittle and break much more easily (anything from a leg break to cracks in your spine). the patients (our children, minors, who cant consent to this) may become moody and have headaches. Can you imagine having hips replaced or knees replaced when you are in your mid-twenties, and not in your mid-sixties? As of 2017 (7 years ago) reviews are being carried out on people's nervous system and psychiatric events. More and more evidence is coming to light of the terrible consequences of puberty blockers. The UK has now banned the use of puberty blockers. Whereas, we have rogue states, such as California, who are "safe havens", who will happily keep parents in the dark about their children's treatment.
Rogue states, such as New York, will happily perform "top surgery", young women/ girls having their perfectly healthy breasts removed. These young women/ girls will never be able to breasts feed their children. Rogue states such as Colorado and the Capitol, DC will happily perfom bottom surgery on young men and boys, removing their perfectly healthy genitals.
The truth is gender ideology is real but looking back in history, but this affected a few older men (roughly 1: 20000), now with smart phones this Substack has shown that young women/ girls are the main target (and their is at least 1 per classroom)
Which girl does not feel uncomfortable when they have their first period? Which girl does not feel uncomfortable when their developing breasts grow larger than their peers? This discomfort does not make them trans, but this ideology is being pushed by evil doers through the use of smart phones.
In the UK, the government has changed from Conservative (who had begun to put in place reasonable policies) to Labour (who is going to ban Conversion Therapy). I have real despair for the UK.
Any parent whose child has been the victim of a pedophile understands this problem. Any one who is human and has a heart understands this problem. We need to out those who lure children into this horror, just as we would a pedophile.
What a powerful and tragic song. Beautifully haunting. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. Thank you for sharing. Whisper has a talent and was able to turn his grief and pain into words we all understand. If only our lost children could listen to the truth…
It really rouched me too. We never knew before how mentally fragile human beings are that their minds can be occupied in a similar way to home invaders and it's happening all over in a similar random way. How to defend against random evil?
I will continue to ask the same question... the line says "She told us she’s a boy and she’s always felt that way".
How does it FEEL to be a boy vs a girl? What is the FEELING that these children feel they are missing? From what I have read it's certainly not love (from the family). So what is it?
It's just part of the script they're instructed to follow, designed to shut down parents' rightful questioning of a sudden trans declaration. The claimed "feeling" has no basis in fact, which is why they can never explain it.
“This situation is ground-breaking to me, because it tells me that maybe – just maybe – there are folks out there who see what is really going on and have put themselves in our shoes.”
I am a father and am fortunate that gender ideology has NOT infected my household. There are many of us who feel the pain of the parents who’ve been entrapped by what is so clearly ideological bullshit meant to hijack childrens’ minds.
Thank you Jason and Susan! I don't know where I would be (mentally) if not for some folks like yourselves to keep me grounded in reality. It's becomes very isolating sometimes when everyone is trying to "affirm" (appease a narcissistic behavior!) the "trans/queer/non-binary etc" kid/young adult at the expense of the parents (and sometimes siblings).
It can be hard to keep hope in our hearts as parents who have lost kids to gender ideology. You said, "maybe – just maybe – there are folks out there who see what is really going on and have put themselves in our shoes." Yes, we need to see the outside world acknowledge what is happening.
I appreciate this song and any and all ways in which other parents and non-parents can express themselves with empathy to the parental loss of our children to gender ideology and medicalization. Please help us stop it before more kids and their families are hurt. The ripple effect of the tragedy is wide.

My son isn’t trans, but believe me, many of us can understand your pain. 💚💚💚
Thanks for introducing us to this remarkable artist.

Yep, a child predator is a child predator.

So true! Great song and story I have amplified - thank you!
It really rouched me too. We never knew before how mentally fragile human beings are that their minds can be occupied in a similar way to home invaders and it's happening all over in a similar random way. How to defend against random evil?
This is so sad. It makes me want to cry.
Powerful words, thank you for sharing.

It's just very, very sad. I'm glad my kids were older by the time this all came down the pike.
My review of the album. Mr. Whistle is a talented act. https://www.thedistancemag.com/p/did-you-know-whistle-has-a-new-album
🥲
I can feel his pain… I have a daughter, too who is indoctrinated in this ‘cult’ and we love her very, very much; that’s why it hurts.
God bless us all🙏

Amen. I also am a parent of 2 daughters, not infected with this sickness. But my heart aches for all of these families.

Endlessly heartbroken for all living this nightmare that is transgender delusion.
