You’re Trans? Me too!
Mom Explains What It Took to Rescue Daughter from Trans
The following story was recounted in the comments section of The Daily Signal YouTube video. We republish it here in the hopes it will help PITT readers.
According to Cambridge English Dictionary, reverse psychology is “a method of trying to make someone do what you want by asking them to do the opposite and expecting them to disagree with you.” Reverse psychology is a strategy for getting what you want by demanding or suggesting what you don't want. This brilliant strategy was used by a wily mom on her gender confused teen.
This all started with a familiar tale of social contagion. A group of 14-year-old girls all came out as trans at the same time. This ideology was affirmed by the school, but we know there’s plenty of content online that may have planted the seed. What 14-year-old wouldn’t want to avoid the indignities of puberty? This is where the story takes an unusual turn.
When one of the girls informed her mother that she was a boy trapped in the wrong body, this mom was not having it. Or she was having too much of it. This Mom’s response:
“You’re trans? Really? So am I. We can transition together.”
The girl was stunned. That was NOT the reaction she was expecting. “You are NOT!” the girl declared.
The Mom just responded with, “Well, we’ll see.
The next morning the girl woke up to find her mom in full male and queer regalia. She was wearing her husband’s clothes. She had dyed her hair with pink stripes. And she was more than happy to drive her daughter to school that day.
The girl was horrified. Now she was not having it. She insisted that her mom was not trans, supplying many reasons why her mom was not a man. But the mom was adamant. “If you’re trans, I must be too. I was a tomboy as a teen, so, yup, that must mean that I’m trans just like you.”
This drove the teenager crazy. Poor muffin.
In all the commotion, she had forgotten her lunch, so she had to call her mom to bring it to the school. When her mom arrived, the teen was called to the office and found her mom sporting a fake mustache and a fancy new men’s haircut. The mortification continued.
Once she saw the impact she was having, the mom contacted the parents of the other girls in the trans circle. After some convincing, all their moms and one dad agreed to socially transition as well. They all dressed as the opposite sex and claimed to be trans just like their daughters, which flabbergasted the girls and embarrassed them no end. The parents went over the top with their “transitions.” For weeks the girls gave the parents all the reasons that they could muster for why they were definitely NOT Trans.
Then the school got involved. They called the ringleader mom accused her of being transphobic for perpetrating this “ridiculous ruse”. They threatened that if “she” did not stop this “charade” they would take action against her and the other parents for actively mocking their daughters.
The mom did what any self-respecting transitioner would and asserted her rights. Her response to the school was along the lines of “First of all, HOW DARE YOU MIS-GENDER ME?!!!? IT’S SIR!!! YOU WILL RESPECT MY PRONOUNS! I’ll bet the media would love to hear how the school’s administrators are being so Transphobic. How dare you try to get me to denounce my “true self””?
The school quickly dropped their demands. But not before the mom demanded they apologize to her… in writing.
Meanwhile, this mom spent plenty of time researching gender ideology and the side effects from cross-sex hormones. With this knowledge she would pepper her daughter with questions—“Is this true? Why would your teacher tell “us” that this could happen?” She would suggest the girl reach out and question the school authorities directly, all the while thinking that the teachers would run out of excuses…which they did.
The mom pretended not to believe any negative aspects of gender ideology, forcing her daughter to find more information to prove that she was “right” which made her stop trusting her teachers. Like most teens, her daughter needed to believe that “she” had uncovered the inconsistencies of gender ideology by herself.
What happened? Well, the girls eventually lost interest in something their parents were doing. And they lost their trust in the teachers and guidance counselor who had misled them. More than mistrust, they resented them. And they shared the reasons for that resentment with their larger friend group. The counselor creepily kept trying to convince the girls that they were trans even after they stopped “identifying” as boys, which the girls used as proof that they were groomers.
This resourceful mom figured if strangers at school could manipulate her daughter into believing in this absolute nonsense, the mom could manipulate her daughter into thinking that she was on her side and plant some seeds of doubt.
It all worked out in the end but results may vary.
It's funny but scary. These children were in danger of serious harm, and what the parents did was brave. I'm not being facetious. That's nerves-of-steel, unflinching courage. The risk is that countering it becomes part of the playbook. "When you come out as trans, your parents will do it too, but it's an act to dissuade you. This is more evidence that you should stop talking to your parents and maybe run away and live with strangers who care about you."
But all that aside, I'm impressed by what these parents were willing to do and I'm happy that it worked.
Brilliant fable. Clearly not true, or we would have heard of it in outside media.
But the idea behind it is rock solid—there's nothing teens dislike more than having a parent enthusiastically adopt a teen's outlandish behavior for themselves.
