Astounding. I'm thinking today about whether to get the same gifts in my sons' honor from Heifer.org before holiday time. Have done that and birthday gifts, &etc for these two years of their complete snub of me, after I made it clear I can no longer refer to their father as the second female parent. This year marks 30 since I discovered the diaries, and 7 since the watershed year of 2015, when my sons' tech workplaces took on "pronouns." Defaming me, their mother, became popular for virtue signaling. Since I discuss their father's father honestly--his physical abuse, his repellent personality, how my then boyfriend hated him at the time we met, I do not expect to reconnect any time soon. My sons, like many in their 30s, are brainwashed, indoctrinated and captured, unable to see past themselves and the selfish man who fathered them to the teen girls who are so vulnerable now.

Sadly, you have companies like Disney funding organizations like GLSEN that indoctrinate children with this stupidity. GLSEN is under investigation in NY for sex discrimination and grooming. https://open.substack.com/pub/justingaffneysamuels/p/glsen-places-drag-queens-in-elementary?r=6512g&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
