Article The Trans Kid That Should've Been Protected
I saw this posted on Ovarit and read it. What a heartbreaking story, probably the best first-hand account I've ever seen of not only getting into the trans cult and the difficulty leaving it, but about what led this woman to her transition in the first place. Anyone with an interest in why girls and women would transition should read it, even though she only speaks for herself. I hope everyone who reads it doesn't just focus on "of course she got into the trans cult, she was finding trans people online! and in school support groups!" It started long before she was online or in environments with in-person trans support.
I hope readers really think about what this woman's early life was like, the homophobia, misogyny, and male violence that made her feel like she couldn't be a girl. I hope readers also really think about what it was like for her after she finally found her place with women who could love and appreciate her as she is.
There's a place in hell for her family, especially her father, and there are so many families like that today, smug in their red state, Fox News households thinking that no dykes or f@ggots or tr@nnies will be allowed any more. When the pendulum eventually swings back away from conservatism, we're setting up to have a new explosion of trans youth. The only way out of this is NOT just "keep kids away from the trans cult"; it's making sure they never feel like they have to turn to any cult in the first place. And if it hadn't been trans, it would have been something else for this woman, some other cult or cult-adjacent group that would lovebomb and welcome her.
Let kids be gender nonconforming and lesbian/gay, if that's who they are. Be good parents. Stop making womanhood look like a prison. And stop abusing and bullying your kids, for god's or someone's sake. For the kids' sake.
