TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A 13-year-old suffering from gender dysphoria took her life in late May after her parents, Erin and Matt Georgia, allowed her to identify and present herself as a boy. Jane Marie Georgia was allowed to begin her "transition" in sixth grade, changing her name to "Jay Griffin."
The parents found their daughter dead in her bedroom on Thursday, May 25. In the months leading up to her death, she had been placed on medications for anxiety and depression.
A 2016 study by the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center said that the suicide attempt rate among transgender youth is 30 percent.
Janes mother Erin said, "Don't get me wrong, I mourned the loss of a daughter," referring to Jane's so-called transition, "but then I realized that I'd been praying for a son my whole life. God answered that prayer, in just a different way."
Georgia also said the family went to church together in search of a "safe space," but that even "welcoming" churches did not meet the unexplained criteria of being safe. "As Jay was going through this journey, he would go to church with us. The church was welcoming, but there was no safe space," she continued.
"Me and Jay would go to different churches to find places that were safe for us," she said. "I say 'us' because I often feel like an outsider because I just love everybody, and that's kind of hard in a Christian Bible Belt state."
Georgia went on to imply that Trump's election may have had something to do with her daughter's difficulties: "It's probably been the roughest since the (presidential) elections." She thinks this is "because hate crimes have increased by 20 percent since the election and people feel more validated to be more discriminatory.''
Last year the American College of Pediatricians put out a statement that said in plain words, "Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse."
The pediatric organization went on to explain that children's feelings about their identity do not indicate that they are truly whatever sex they claim to belong to. "No one is born with an awareness of themselves as male or female," the group stated. "This awareness develops over time and, like all developmental processes, may be derailed by a child's subjective perceptions, relationships and adverse experiences from infancy forward."
Church Militant recently reported on a soon-to-be released documentary on ex-transgenders who found healing. They reveal to the public the face of transgender regret, especially following surgery. The film, titled TranZformed: Finding Peace With Your God-Given Gender, was produced by David Kyle Foster, who told Church Militant that the film emphasizes the humanity of people trapped in transgenderism.
"The message of the film is that people are very broken; they need lots of help," he said. "And the last kind of help they should be getting is not what they're getting."
>> the suicide attempt rate among transgender youth is 30 percent.
Curious what percentage goes trans for reasons related to heterosexual rejection (which I suspect is the disregarded motivation for many.)
In CA it is ILLEGAL to offer Gay Conversion Therapy.
I’m sure that applies to situations like this. Too bad.
I’d say it’s obvious this demented mother wishes she had been born male and was disappointed when she had a daughter because she “really” wanted a boy. When the poor girl was going through a Tom Boy phase this mentally ill mother pushed her into transitioning into a boy before she even had a chance to go through puberty which confused the poor kid even more. Completely conflicted the kid killed herself while this seriously criminally insane monster mother placed the blame on Trump getting elected or whatever else she could think of.
The mother belongs in an asylum for the criminally insane for what she did. Never to see freedom again.
>>Just a few weeks ago she told me that she is more attracted to girls than boys and wants to become a man.
I know teachers who report seeing significant peer pressure among adolescents to be Bi or Gay or tran etc.
The ideas often get planted by parents, and sometimes unfortunately teachers, who then turn the kids into activists who plant ideas and pressure other kids to believe and behave accordingly. It’s the psychological warfare envisioned by Cultural Marxists.

Brutal environment for the unprepared.
Prayers up for you and your family.
More proof that “getting down with the sickness” is not an effective treatment plan.
The one transgender kid I know went from girl to boy and then now has gone back. The pain of having her flat boy chest stretched with expanders so they can put fake boobs in was pretty bad.
Here is the truth the trans cottage industry won’t tell you. Only 50% of people transitioning to the other gender are made content. That is a bad cure rate.
We need to treat the gender dysmorphia by empowering these people to accept themselves, and their families also, as wonderful people born with a brain dysfunction that they can survive. People are born with many disabilities. Life isn’t perfect. They do not need to “transition” though they can if they wish, but they need to know that their problem isn’t that they whoops got the wrong genitalia. Their problem is that their brain identity won’t match their biology. That is horrible and as sad as not being able to walk or hear or see. Or remember. And we all need to support them. They are not freaks. We are all made in His image and we need to love and accept them and not put some binary trans agenda on them. Let them live as comfortably as possible and help them become strong and happy.
And of course keep trying to find the cause and any better solution that will help them. Transitioning is often a poor therapy.
The woman who allowed her daughter to do this to herself now blames it on Trump.
Bingo.
Caused by parental ignorance of the fact that children can understand what other people say way before they can speak.
I wanted a daughter. I got a son. The second he was born I was madly in love with him and never wanted to change a thing about him, he was perfect.
WTH is wrong with people.
The guy gives me the creeps and always wants to talk if I run into him in public.
God help you and your family, especially your daughter. I couldn’t imagine dealing with that.
So true; these people are screwed because we are no longer allowed to treat them as crazy - and they obviously are. Once you try to “normalize” crazy, the situation gets worse. Homosexuals have not gotten “better” since the government tried to “normalize” it; they still look in a mirror and know without a doubt that there is something very unnatural about what they do.
Exactly. What a tragedy.
Its when you’re confused about which is the male and which is the female when you see Donald and Melania Trump together on the TV. I’d bet Harambe would know the difference.
Good point about “tom boys” - an innocuous phase that need not descend into madness.
Yes, it is demonic.
XX XY
Real Science!!
We need a whole lot of new prisons and these people need to be put away for a very long time for this blatant abuse of children.
“Georgia also said the family went to church together in search of a ‘safe space,’ but that even ‘welcoming’ churches did not meet the unexplained criteria of being safe.”
It will never be enough for these degenerates. The new Owellian definition of “safe” is the imposition of slobbering servile obeisance to the new sexual masters, no questions asked.
To me, it screams "trash."
Have they? The raw statistic does not differentiate the seemingly vast proportion of hate crimes by SJWs against conservatives. And FBI stats for years have shown that Jews suffer more hate crimes than any other group.
