Transing The Young ~ Part 43

Gentlemans Relish

From Ru Paul’s Drag Race. @gottmik’s “stunning” #AllStars9 “top surgery look” (according to Pink News). My mother had to have a mastectomy during treatment for breast cancer, which she eventually died from. This happened at a point in my own life when I was only just really getting to know her, as a young man entering adulthood and starting to understand how the world works, or so I believed. She never lived long enough to meet her grandchildren from any of her children.

My daughter decided, under the malign influence of others (and at a similar age to me when my own mother died) that it would be a good idea to have her breasts surgically removed 5 years ago. Alongside this act of “bodily autonomy” she took testosterone, and invented an oppression narrative that involved convincing the world that she was not born in the right body, was neglected &/or abused in childhood (she wasn’t), and that she has no parents. We haven’t seen her for 6 years because she has estranged US, to please the cult elders and influencers of the queer family she walked into.

I compile Denton Yoga-Carter because we, her parents, are the only people who hold the truth and fight for her to be free of this monstrous cult, for her to return “to herself” with sanity and reality, with as soft a landing as might be possible.

One day.

In the meantime, the cult have turned her into a tyrannical, hectoring, self-centred Trans Champion, who’s primary drive in life is continuing to live inside the same small bubble and demand validation from everyone. She works with mental health and suicide prevention, and moved swiftly from (at one time) training to be a “queer teacher” to training as a therapist. When she was in our lives she was a Receiver. Since erasing us from her life, she became a Transmitter. Her oppression and identity is forged on the back of OUR erasure, while WE have suffered years of her “acting out” and all her projections, as her mental and physical health deteriorates.

People simply do not believe what has happened to her; those who knew her from the happy-go-lucky girl that she once was. Either that, or they run for the hills screaming, because they fear what they might have done “for trans kids” or they simply cast us, as the toxic villains.

So I’ll continue to compile Denton having made a promise to our daughter 6/7 years ago - that I would try harder to learn more about the “trans movement” from “trans people” and to get myself “educated”. Denton is the result. It’s a vigil for our daughter, and a blog for any parent, journalist or politician who doesn’t quite get it, or is too ashamed/proud to admit that they just don’t get it.

I love you sweet girl, always will. Come back as whoever you are, whoever you feel you want to be, when you’re ready. We’ll still reach out to you, even though your little committee of voices made it clear our last attempt was terminal. All I can do is make every effort to destroy the culture that emboldens the ideology that robbed you of compassion and empathy and turned you inwards somehow, taking refuge in a constructed persona enacting a cruel and brutal betrayal of your biological origins. I Know, I KNOW that this is not your true nature. I’ll keep loving you and holding you in our hearts, as we do, 24/7. But the pull of the cult was too strong, you thought you’d found your tribe. They fashioned you into their likeness.

So, post-Cass, and post-WPATH Files, these crass depictions of body mutilation and self-harm like the abomination above, leave me devastated. I hope it peaks thousands, though I doubt it will reach that far. I can’t think of a better illustration of how far we have fallen (for it), and how the cult keeps getting away with it, no matter how well we pretend we know how this mass social psychosis works. It’s all down to Men, of course, wanting to opt in (to sexual objectification as women), while so many young women (& young men, for diverse reasons) believe they want to opt out. Transitioning children and young people is a CULT. Our lives are the living proof.
