CRT & woke genderqueer were built to sow chaos.

Even the old school Communists call it out as fascistic: a government+corporation enabled means of subjugation. It's being used to infiltrate societies (those vulnerable to & valuable for targeting) around the world. Freighting on preexisting mental disorders it induces ideological possession in primary victims and provides an irrational sophist (shielding from reasonable discourse) worldview enabling violence and furthering chaos. Lesbians, gays, women, liberal whites and progress made in race relations are some of its victims and even those who seem to benefit are also deeply injured … only differently.

I view this weaponized phenomenon as one feature of a global war on humanity itself both an intentional and emergent happening to the benefit of a parasite class. They are VASTLY outnumbered and NEED to weaken, and divide people. They cannot win unless we fight one another.

Blessings & courage upon all who stand free, do not comply with and oppose

this scapegoating madness

The author mentioned being a vote for any Democrat person. I was a CA Democrat for 23 years. Then I moved to Chicago and became friend with midwestern Republicans for the first time in my life. I quickly discovered they were amazing, non-judgmental, non-racist, non-homophonic people who did volunteer work, gave to charity and went to church. All the stereotypes I’d learned in CA were simply wrong. In 2016, Donald Trump became the most bombastic, polarizing president in modern history. Given Democrats’ deep-seated hatred of the man, I think this opened the door to bad actors infiltrating the Democratic Party with radical ideology funded by rich donors and greedy corporate sponsors. Given the “whatever Trump hates must be good” mentality, it was easy to lead lifelong Dems into a black hole. I’ve made sure to be true to myself, and will never take any oath of loyalty to any political party.

That made me cry with relief for Alice, for her parents and for you.

Your story gave me such hope! Thank you! My sister told me about her son, my nephew, last year and I was stunned. I had no idea and knew nothing about “trans” except for Jazz and Caitlin Jenner and I had actually thought it might be possible! When my sister began educating me I was horrified, deeply sad and then angry. My nephew had changed his name and pronouns too and the school complied and hid it from my sister and her husband. I called my nephew right before he graduated to congratulate him and that is when he said to me “I’m trans” and I immediately asked him what that meant. He got frustrated with me and did not know how to explain it to me. I questioned him! I told him “I have never met or spoken to a trans person before so you need to tell me how you know this.” He could not so he hung up on me. He left home about 4 months later and none of us know where he is living but we were told by a mutual friend that he is safe, is renting a room in the same city and is working. He texted me in September when there was a hurricane nearing my city to see if I was ok. I sent him money for Christmas and he respond in kind. I am hoping he will keep in touch with me and that one day he will tell me he is not trans and will begin to use his real boy name again and return to the family. I am very encouraged now and I will not give up! I am so happy Alice returned to all of you unharmed. I hate this transgender cult! We must stay strong and continue our fight together!

One of the best I've read on this topic. Also important in showing that other relatives are also involved and can play a part in a detransition story.

I loved this. Thank you for sharing this story. Well written. Simply put, but beautiful. I cheered at the end. Almost wept at the happy sensible ending.

You don't have to turn away from the democratic party to come to the realization that there is an epidemic of trans-ideology sweeping our children. I still call myself a woke, feminist, democrat, but I know that my daughter and many of her friends are not trans.

I hope you’re still a feminist. There’s always been massive disagreements within feminism and that’s because feminists are women who care about what happens to women- and often they care about what happens to men as well.

Thank you...hoping all our children, especially our daughters, come back to us.

Thanks for sharing. Much of Alice's story is very similar my child's experience. I admire how you handled the situation. You're a good aunt.

I love the end of this story, certainly not the end of Alice's story as she enters young womanhood.

It is so hard to imagine the trust a family member might have, or maybe hope, in that child to find her way out of it. All of the modeling, the invitation to think about how it could be possible and even good to be a woman, all in ways that are not confrontational, but sounds like those interactions were positive and good feeling in the relationship. This all really struck me.

I have a son who came out, and is now of age to do as he pleases medically. I've only just been allowed to have contact on the idea that I use affirming language. I didn't agree, but I did not argue, so desperate not to be cut off. It feels so wrong to use that language, seeing all of the signs that this is not a born-this-way situation, and I'm terrified I'll be thrown off the cliff tomorrow or any moment for not believing and behaving. This story gives me hope that there are ways to be together and gentle opportunities to affirm acceptance of his natural body and character.

Well done. You were clear-headed, loving, and courageous. And you contributed to allowing your niece to pass through this phase of life unscathed. i really identified with the list of things you have lost faith in . . . me too.
