I am speaking as the parent of a young woman who declared a transgender identity aged 17, (a month prior to turning 18) completely out of the blue. So many parents feel that they cannot speak out for fear of harming their relationship with their child. I am speaking because, as I have sadly discovered over the last 3 years, this phenomenon is much, much bigger than my family, and we most certainly do need to talk about it and raise awareness of what is being done to our children. Our daughter has just turned 21 and has been in the transgender bubble for just over 3 years. She had been estranged from us for the past year, however she miraculously reached out to us exactly one week ago. For that reason, the last week has been a very emotional one for our family. There has been so much damage done and the healing process will be a long and rocky road, yet right now I have a glimmer of hope that I certainly did not have when I started writing this several weeks ago.
The trans community is like a cult. They demonize parents. They isolate and indoctrinate youth. What is most shocking and troubling to me is that governments and media are promoting it.
I'm so very sorry to read this harrowing account of what has happened to your daughter. It's beyond Appalling that parents are told they don't know their children or have their best interests at heart when in fact that is exactly what we do have! You are a wonderful mum and what you have done to try to get your daughter proper help is amazing. Many parents may have given up but you have persevered. You should be proud of everything you have done. I hope beyond hope that your daughter does not go through with surgery and that one day very soon you will get her back ❤️
Thank you for this heartbreaking account. I am wondering if I can send this story to the president of the Royal Australian & NZ College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP)? They recently decided to stop using a gender affirmative model of 'care', and I was going to write a letter of support for this decision, so they know that the public is on their side. I will not attach your story to my email without permission.
Thank you and to all the PITT parents for sharing your individual stories of pain and injustice. It helps me to know I am sane amidst the cruel insanity around me. And to feel less alone in my despair. And I am feeling inspired to tell my own story of my vulnerable precious son preyed on by the trans cult at the tender age of 19. It has ripped apart my once happy family. My husband is devastated. My daughter misses her brother. I teeter between the edge of profound, helpless, angry sadness and resiliency every day.
Thanks for sharing and I am so so sorry you are going through this. One thing that I saw in your essay : "The endocrinologist said “Don’t you just want your daughter to be happy”." So, the endocrinologist didn't even pretend to believe the crap about her being a boy and still thought giving her testosterone was the right treatment? I think most of these greedy doctors know but just don't care. It's either that or something even darker happening with some group of people wanting the the brightest of our young (Seems like it's always the bright kids who fall for this madness) to be sterile and miserable. Who know why.... Taking them out of competition for survival and procreation? Eugenics? I am not into conspiracy theories but something really dark is going on. I probably sound insane.
I am at the start of the same journey, but my daughter is 21 now and ADHD. Friends don't want to know and think that I am 'right wing' or a 'bigot'. I was a left leaning Greens voter
Soon it will be the 8th anniversary of my autistic daughter's death. The horror of what is being done to the most vulnerable of people is going to be one of the most egregious human rights abuses of the 21st century.
So much pain and suffering. I'm sorry. "Children and young adults who are mentally unwell, perhaps traumatised with histories of bullying or sexual assault, children who are most likely same sex attracted, children who are on the Autism spectrum, neuro diverse children, kids who are misfits or socially awkward" are all being targeted by Social Darwinism eugenics - evolution through the survival of the fittest. It is evil through and through.
I know that most, if not all parents like me living through this hellscape, will have moment after moment of terrifying recognition reading your heartbreaking story. The commonalities — between our kids, between the monstrous clinicians we encounter, between our experiences of disbelief, confusion, frustration, terror, and grief — are in and of themselves their own special horror show. To witness this so clearly is part of the torture. My heart goes out to you, to all of you who live this shared nightmare. I am so very sorry for us all.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story. My daughter (16 almost 17) has a diagnosis of autism and had still been let down by schools and professionals. She was bullied into being trans by peers and social media. It is also heavily promoted in schools, they are encouraging kids to be trans. Im over 2 years in and trying to support my daughter through activities and volunteering. Im truly appalled by how society has embraced such a radical ideology that promotes harm to vunerable children and young adults. It is medical malpractice and like you say, a scandal in the making. It has to stop NOW before more children are harmed.
Your story reads like my own. This could so easily be my daughter in the next four years. I am terrified for her and the many other children out there, suffering.
As a father going through the exact scenario but 4 years behind; I'm looking into my daughter's possible future reading this. I'm terrified of the consequences but genuinely grateful that there are sites like this to help me realise I'm not alone. Still looking for help that isn't affirmation only. I well up most days. But I'll always be there for her and hopefully I will find a way to help her through this madness.
The new gender ideology tells vulnerable young people that if a girl doesn’t fit the alpha-female mold, she’s trans; if a boy doesn’t fit the alpha-male mold, he’s trans. These stereotypes are antiquated and fascist in nature, and transitioning only serves to catalog and sterilize these young people. We live in dangerous times.

Wow, Im so sorry for what this ideology has done to you and your family. Your daughter's doctors were negligent at every turn. Ty for sharing. 🙏🏻

I was so hopeful for a happy ending there, I'm so sorry 😞

This is social contagion just like anorexia was a few years back.
