I DEFINITELY remember those days of obsessive rumination after my son told me he was “transgender” (there is no such thing).

That was way back in 2015 when the only resource was 4thwavenow.com. I spent hours deep in the early morning hours reading, reading, reading because sleep was impossible.

As more and more desperate families emerged, there was so much information to review and research, that I did indeed realize that it was becoming an obsession that was destroying my mental health. I would unsubscribe from everything, only to return and begin all over again.

I had sunk into such a depression that I became unrecognizable to my family, friends, and most importantly to myself. I really wanted to die. Well, actually I just wanted to escape the pain and death seemed to be the only option.

My other child and grandchild were the only reasons I did not choose that option. That misery lasted a very long time and cost thousands of dollars on doctors, drugs, therapy and alternative treatments.

In December 2021, I made a decision. I would not let 2022 begin in that state of mind. My son had made a tragic choice but not organically. It was engineered by a cult-like ideology accessed and binged on by the internet. This ideology has seeped deeply into our education system, the media, our politics and most frighteningly, our medical profession.

Now, our minor children and young adults are allowed to permanently rearrange their physical bodies to achieve a fantasy and the horrific consequences be damned.

There is so little evidence-based science to support this “gender affirming care” (doesn’t that sound so good and positive?), that we are truly experimenting on our children.

I am no longer depressed, nor suicidal.

I am mad as hell. I have no time to grow and transcend out of this. It needs to stop and it’s going to take all of us to accomplish it. Speaking the truth has rescued me. I speak out at every opportunity. To school boards, politicians, journalists..... anyone who is curious. I don’t waste my time on those who are completely captured. But just doing SOMETHING keeps the grief, sadness and depression at bay.
