As the mother of a trans child, I could not agree more.
My child was born with an incurable endocrine defect, a truly rare condition that affects less than 1% of the population. She did not need puberty blockers or hormones to transition; her body was masculinizing naturally. I talked to specialists as far away as Canada and spent thousands on doctors to see what could be done to stop it. Two different teams of Endocrinologists confirmed there was no cure. My child would continue to experience the effects of hyperandrogenism (and the subsequent gender dysphoria) for the rest of her life.
We neither authorized nor allowed any of the transitioning treatments being pushed on us. When my daughter became an adult, she arranged for and paid for the top surgery herself. She now presents as a man and is only interested romantically in other trans people.
Everyone who meets her thinks she is an intelligent, hardworking, and polite young man.
My younger son has a different variant of the same condition. In him, it caused premature bone maturation and infertility. It hasn’t stopped him from finding girlfriends or caused the same amount of anguish it caused my daughter.
Now, it seems like every time I turn around, I’m tripping over a kid who claims to be trans. Hogwash. It is either psychosis, grooming, or something worse.
True transgenderism is tied to a verifiable genetic defect. If it is not physical, it is psychological, and they are butchering children for no good reason.
Just know that not every trans person agrees with giving drugs to kids, altering kids, etc. You know how you can tell a transgender from a pretender? The pretender will shove it in your face. The transgender will leave you alone and go about their day.
“they are butchering children for no good reason.”
The promoters of gender dysphoria and their “cure” of mutilation sterilizes children. It’s one of the satanic forms of population control.
God bless you for sharing your experience, and the courage you have manifested for your kids.
