My daughter has been stolen by a stranger Who crept in stealthily one night And usurped her mind and her body. The more I try to rescue her The more he harms her with hormones And surgery. He is selfish and mean He screams abuse at me While accusing
Thank you for your kind words. You too. My oldest daughter is messed up with the whole gender thing although she is DEFINITELY gay, and my son has become an uber-liberal since meeting his now-wife. We had a fairly good relationship, but now we barely speak to each other. Sigh...
On the OTHER hand, my middle child - a girl (the 'Bonnie' of Bonnie & Clyde notoriety) - escaped all of this political BS because she was a horrible student in school; it actually worked to her advantage, apparently! She's the only one that speaks to me plus I get to spend a lot of quality time with my granddaughter (9 yo).
I can only hope and pray that they wake up before I'm gone; by then - it's too late for apologies. I just do my best, trying to live each day one day at a time and being the best person that I can be as G-d intended us to do.
(Sorry that I did not get back sooner; I've been avoiding social media like the plague lately.)
Greetings, my name is Luca Jo Groppoli. I just wanted to say I was transgender for over 30 years before I left that way of living. If anyone wants to connect, please feel free. Blessings
This may be just informative but it is critical to me. This describes my nearly seven decades of striving with gender dysphoria and my current conclusions. I am so ashamed that it's taken so long to reach these decisions, but this is part of my current identity foundation from which to proceed. Of course, you can assess this as you will.

Sex Difference in Christian Theology: Male, Female, and Intersex in the Image of God
by Megan K. DeFranza
This book is a wonderful, merciful, rigorous theological discussion of biological sex and the introductory video is listed here:
Please forgive me if this story is considered inappropriate within this context? Whether anyone considers themselves christian or not, may I please include some extra nuance to your conversation? I have no intention of attempting any kind of evangelization in my contribution, I would however like to supply some extra dimension to the discourse. To advance some concepts I would like to present some quotes.
First:
Isa 56:4-5 KJV 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Second:
Mat 19:11-12 KJV 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Third:
Act 8:26-40 KJV (The baptism of the eunuch which I consider too long to be quoted here but far from inconsequential.)
I would love to note first that the term eunuch in these quotes seems to be defined by the Lord Jesus himself to include intersex individuals (eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb). Unwilling (some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men) and willing individuals (eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs) appear similarly defined.
May I also note the quote (unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters). I am aware that original Hebrew literally is translated "a hand and a name" greater than of sons and of daughters. I am, however, quite intrigued by the implications that eunuchs are given recognition separate from sons and from daughters.
I consider myself to be trans (eunuch, saris adam, barren (Isa 54:1-17)). I am not exactly a son and not exactly a daughter. I have a woefully masculine face and physique but I am definitely not a son (AMAB MTF post SRS (GRS)). Therefore I do not fit in sons' spaces or daughters' spaces.
I have immersed myself in the historical, philosophical, psychological, political and theological literature and media for a significant portion of seven decades and conclude that I am physically, politically, perceptually and theologically non-binary. Psychologically, I have identified as female since the age of two or three but diligent discipline discouraged any hint or discussion of my feminine identity or behavior. My ideal puberty would have included hormone blockers until a legally acceptable age to begin HRT and GRS (SRS) and then as nearly normal womanhood as attainable.
In actuality, the diligent discipline has induced my voluntary celibacy and perception that I have been insidiously gaslighted and have a subtle incidence of complex traumatic stress disorder by the dismissing, ignoring, denying and suppressing of my gender identity. I am just one of my peers who is the quarry for metaphorical, euphemistic and literal physical erasure. My concern is not just psychological, health or culture. This is the challenge and analysis of my right to true Judeo-Christian observance and Judeo-Christian expression and Judeo-Christian faith.
I hope my comments and the quotes are discovered to be beneficial. I pray that nothing is found to be triggering because my intent was to be somehow loving, compassionate and empathetic to each and everyone. If you have deigned to read this entire comment, thank you much!
I’m sorry. It’s a beautiful post. We are witnessing the zombification of a generation. We must all fight this whether our children have been stolen or not. And perhaps those of us whose children are “ok” are the ones who MUST engage even more to fight back. I’m with you and I am fighting hard. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Very moving piece of writing. How do you feel about it being shared? I would like to put it on my facebook group designed to unite health professionals who have concerns around "gender affirming" treatment. https://www.facebook.com/WatchfulWaitingOz/ It would be so useful for health professionals to read this and to see what a terrible and traumatising effect all of this is having not just on the children but on their parents too. But I wouldn't dream of sharing it without your permission. I was a nurse in an eating disorders ward and often saw the hell that the poor parents were going through, as well as the patients. But at least in that situation the staff and parents were all on the same side--working towards helping the patients recover their health and learn to accept their bodies. This is so different--clinicians have entirely different goals to the families and so often parents are isolated, kept out of the loop and made to feel as if they're part of the problem; in other words, vilified. It's so cruel.
Mine was too. Haven't spoken to her for 6+ years because I refuse to call her a boy. Haven't seen my granddaughter since she was 2 y.o. I feel your pain. Stay strong. You are not alone.
This is painful to read. This could have been me. My daughter was almost stolen too. I was lucky to be able to get through to her, to keep her safe from harm. The binders, the bad friends, the bullies online, and her undiagnosed (at the time) autism, all this tried to take her away from me. Sending hugs to whoever is dealing with this horrible fad (that even seems too petty of a word, a fad, maybe I should call it a horrible monster because that is what it is).

This is beautifully written and describes how I feel daily. My beautiful daughter I just want back
This made me cry. This is my daughter, too. My heart breaks for this generation.
