I cannot interact with any of the demon parents leading their children to destruction. I absolutely sympathize with those parents that walk a tightrope as they try to keep the connection. I also cannot have anything to do with the people watching and celebrating a parent making money off destroying their child, as the audience of "Jazz" does. What should happen to the transhausen "parents?" Sterilize them and reopen Alcatraz.
A new diagnostic term is just recently innovated by a child psychologist, Dr. Elliot Kaminetsky, which encompasses the obsessive nature of the delusion: Identity-Based Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
that would 'fit' I suppose, although I'd rather it were "Identity-Based Obsessive-Compulsive Delusion" just to nip in the bud all the therapists who'd then be squabbling over what conditions and symptoms merit the term "disorder". I take heart from the number of attempts to return trans-related terminology back and away from "gender"-infused language - SO many people are refusing to use the term "gender dysphoria" now (& now that the entire concept of Gender is being slowly and painfully deconstructed) and would rather use iterations of "ideation" instead, or terms that link more accurately to mental health. It's such a slow grind
Yes. But as you know, many parents aren’t onboard with this. Their teenage or young adult children got recruited into the cult behind their backs and now they are just trying to hang on and hope their kids come to their senses before it’s too late
Thanks, yes that's pretty much my strap-line you've nailed right there. We held the line for as long as we could with our daughter, supporting her gradual shifts to acknowledge and celebrate her lesbianism, then still going along with non-binary "identities" while trying to work out what all that meant. But even at that stage I'd wear a rainbow pride bracelet for her in order to "do better" as we both started to look at what surgery might mean for her, and look for counter-narrative voices that challenged almost everything she claimed. Back then, we hadn't yet fully understood how the TQ+ came riding in with the LGB Trojan horse, and like a parasite, started to eat its own host.
We lost her to estrangement in the end because dangerous and deceitful individuals in the background - those who groomed her behind our backs - were collectively overpowering & overwhelming. And this collided with US expressing our concerns for her physical and mental health (what TRA's would call Conversion Therapy, others would call Hate Speech), her increased use of social media bubbles, and a vacuum left in her life when her former intended career path and childhood dream was torn away from her. The perfect storm.
Into that vacuum stepped the promise of a new identity and a new tribe - a chance to feel special amongst her peers again, but in a different way. And all of that meant exiling her parents from her life. WE (m & f parents) literally and fundamentally represent the Sex Binary, and so the cult claimed her as a "Smash Heteronormativity" Hero of Sex Denialism. Her new identity simply couldn't afford the inconvenience of having cishet parents and all the yucky biological human reproductive system that brings us ALL into life. All the stuff that gender ideology tries to trump, to suppress, to supplant, to divide(up) and rule.
Parents who "hold the line" like many you quite rightly allude to, are pretty much invisible to most. In my own community, there's a parent-friend who outwardly appears to me at least, to be the worst kind of transhausen parent imaginable. To the transies, they're an absolute warrior hero of course. But I wonder constantly where on that spectrum between those binary opposites (evil parent/affirming parent) they are. It's like a kind of spell I don't dare break or breach because my own personal and unique experience of transition within the family, could threaten this difficult balancing act between them; juggling with their own unique variables. Having held & contained the massive projection of shame our daughter has dumped on us for the last 6 years, I would never assume the worst about any parent - unless they explicitly trumpet their allegiance to the cult by knowingly and evidentially avoiding critical thinking. Denouncing those devilish rightwing, bigoted GC parents is obviously one "IN" to probing their cult allegiance and the values, attitudes and beliefs they hold. I will say clearly and unequivocally that transgenderism has raped and brutalised my family, and I seek that level of explicitness in others.
I am no longer holding that psychic projection that our daughter has forced upon us for 6 years. We have reached out to her many times & it has been really tough but I have let it go, although I will never let go of loving the uniquely beautiful human being our daughter IS, had she not been fashioned by others, into a deluded tyrant by a process of indoctrination and radicalisation by the gender cultists. I can never forgive those who support her betrayal of us, and those who wistfully believe she somehow became her "true self" by destroying her health and fertility, her ability to think, having her breasts cut off, and foreclosing her future possibilities by imprisoning herself in the dead-end dungeon of #transrights
And so, in a world where the PARENTS of gender-confused kids are placed at opposite ends of a binary (evil v angel) (abuser v affirmer) nuance and doubt disappear down a dark pit in the middle ground. This is why I will always call out those who wilfully ignore counter arguments and evidence of the harms and dangers, but I'll hold back if there's uncertainty about line holding - because this is the landscape we found ourselves in, when we were newbies to all this back in 2017/18.
In the end, it's another form of heretic silencing - because your innate humanity and compassion require that you don't want to threaten the unstable relationship going on between another parent-&-child relationship when you know what's at stake. Trans people/allies KNOW and fully understand this doubt, and exploit it mercilessly. It's why the cult encourage people like Ellen/Elliot to go on BeKinding MSM channels and intone everyone to "Listen to the parents of trans people" (the starting point of my post) because they KNOW what happens to those who hold the opposing view, and who express that view publicly.
It's a little like the phenomenon Helen Joyce expressed, when she described how a single individual within a professional business or organisation can paralyse the entire organisation IF they are parents of a super-special "trans child" - because no-one would dare to air a challenging view. And so here too, the line stays intact, the spell is held, and trans doctrine & orthodoxy prevail.
Many of my subscribers tell me they pass on my posts to their doubting/wavering friends, so this post was made with that in mind. You and I both know what's at stake here, my beef is with parents who wilfully and deliberately (& publicly) close their minds and become propaganda puppets of the cult by abusing their own children and gaining virtue and glory as a by-product of that abuse. They are a large part of the culture that envelopes the trans-positive worldview and so you and I, and millions of others must keep on chipping away at the cracks. And eventually the dam will burst.
I will also keep chipping away, but quietly and anonymously since my daughter still lives with me, only talking to people in real life who I feel might be open to listening. We never affirmed. At first I was confused and had no idea what to do, but I was lucky that the first therapist we went to was not an ideologist (I know now just how lucky we were). That gave me a little time to research, and I found Lisa Littman’s book, then PITT, then I started to realize what this really was. I’m very fortunate that my daughter hasn’t pushed for medicalization and is still living with us and we still have the opportunity to influence her. I am still hopeful that she will eventually desist, although it’s going to be hard after 5 years where everyone outside her family knows her as a male name and pronouns.
It used to be that Mom could signal how cool she was by giving her kid a rat tail and bleaching it blonde, or a pierced ear. Now she's dragging her child to a doctor to put them on puberty blockers. Dig me. How cool am I?
You need a button other than "like" for you readers to react to this nightmare. Maybe a rage button.
Good point. I'll see if I can fashion a custom button next time I upload

What do we call the parents in relation to that disorder? IB OCD enablers?

Indeed. And corrupted language colors perception
At Last!
Jazz Jennings mom should be in jail.
Mom and doctors.
