The tsunami-like wave of gender indoctrination, from which Southern Europe has been shielded for the most part so far, is about to hit us and our children at full force.
I’d pull my kid immediately if his pre school teacher was trans. And I’d be fine to accept the sneers and whispers of other parents who’d call me transphobic. Much like the author, my red line is children, particularly my own.
I made the enormous mistake of moving from Asturias back to my husband 's country, great Britain, in 2015. My daughters then wefe 11 and 5. Pre covid the eldest declared a trans identity. She had been struggling with the move from Spain to England in all likelihood.
Her sister is on her side and I am presently estranged from both and totally devastated.
Texas and Florida just passed laws prohibiting the medical interference with puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and surgeries in minors. Kids will be allowed to go through normal development and get psychiatric therapy of the useful kind if they experience gender dysphoria.
Yes it is a cult. Doubt is always present in the cult recruit. Yes this is a uniquely American cult. We took the world in, created this virus in a wet market laboratory of fading institutions and consumer capitalism, and unleashed it on the world. I blame Oprah.
Let your hope that this will pass, be a spur toward taking action to ensure that it does so.
Regardless of the ultimate outcome, the extremism that compelled the current trajectory has guaranteed that its arc will destroy the lives of many. The best that can be done now is to shorten the arc and try to assist those afflicted by it.
Do all you can early to inform those in positions of power. Tell them about the Cass Review from the UK and reviews from Sweden, Finland, FL, USA, and that those countries plus Norway and France have paused 'transing' minors. Transgender Trend and Genspect are both doing excellent work in this area. And tell them that most minors--up to 90% -- desist by going through puberty before they settle into their bodies --and some of those kids just realize they are LGB. And that bringing 'gender identity' curriculum into the schools is planting a seed. And inform them that the medicalization of minors -- and adults -- is experimental and has grave implications for both physical and mental health. And, it is also unfair to force other students and teachers to have to acquiesce to such an absurd ideology as the price of getting an education or keeping a teaching position. So, yes, just leave the kids alone to grow up and figure out who they are.
There's more coming. Taking anxious pubescent kids and have them publicly declare pronouns has a psychological effect in and of itself. That's a foot in the door to start the kids searching for trans issues on the internet, and the vast majority of it is fantasy land of wonderfulness.
You get to pick your new name! You get to tell adults, and your parents to use your new name, and if they balk, they're bad people and transphobic, and you can get your teacher fired over it! Power!
Hormones are the best, they'll make you feel like your true "gender angel" wants you to feel. All the stuff the transphobes tell you about how hormones have side effects that include cancer, osteoporosis and infertility are just lies.
The world of modern social media is how this social contagion spreads, so quickly and so nastily. There's a whole mythology about gender that is preached by the activists, and then injected without thought into mainstream media.
It would be so much easier to let kids outgrow it as a phase if there wasn't such a push to use drugs and surgery.
Last - COVID + Remote Learning was the proverbial NOS button for the trans engine. Covid leading to anxiety and remote learning giving access to search it up, leading to transition as the answer.
Here in Spain, the government has passed self ID. It's hard to keep young people on the right path when the message from our leaders is that transgender is just a thing that's quite OK to be part of.
I appreciate your insight, and the perspective of a teacher who is not in the United States. Thank you.
Like you, I wish otherwise, but gender ideologues are not going to leave kids alone, because young people comprise the current bulk of gender dysphoria, and as such represent the future of the movement.
As an out lesbian in the '80s and '90s, I recall gays being accused of "recruiting" young people to be homosexuals. (I guess because it was such a popular thing to be gay then, and also because it's possible to talk somebody into sexual orientation.) It seems to me that "recruiting" is, actually, not far off for gender ideologues, from early public school indoctrination through social "transition" to uncritical application of "gender affirming care" (puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, sometimes surgery) to create full-fledged "trans" youth. Kids (many with other mental health issues) are easy to groom, are groomed and then "transitioned." Kind of sounds like recruitment to me.
Affirmation is a virtual drug, that causes addiction. It provides you with a bunch of new feelings, you feel high and then in the same kind as with drugs, you need a higher Dosis. You feel even lower as at the beginning, but you have learned, you can feel better. So you go and look for more drugs.
I wish more teachers were like you: caring and in touch with reality. We are in a desperate situation where teachers like you need to unite with parents and make a stand. We must reject anything to do with gender ideology in our schools. The poison was silently injected and many parents are still unaware of the danger waiting for their kids. Many parents have no idea that their families could be torn apart and that it all started with the schools. We must stop teachers actively spreading this madness in their class. Let's start with no more mentions of pronouns. Thank you for adding your voice to PITT.
Speak up loudly, forcefully and get allies in this fight where ever you are. Vocal parents and teachers that push back hard and make trouble for politicians who support trans ideology or who are wobbly can and doake a difference. I met with my state representative and state Senator earlier in the spring in my Midwestern state and others did too and it was just banned in my state.

Please consider signing this open letter about a study on ROGD. The trans activists do not want it published and are doing what they can to stop it.

Welcome to the circus. I hope the "experts" and people in charge in your country are smarter than those in ours.
