This is so beautiful, so touching, and so truthful: "I’ve come to understand that God’s love is deeper than ours, His grief greater, and His nearness to the brokenhearted more real than we can truly fathom." AMEN! I agonized over my nephew for two years, and deeply ached for my sister and brother-in-law while they tried to navigate the trans-gender cults lies. Their son went down the trans rabbit hole and they did everything they could to pull him back out. My heart was heavy, I cried daily, I begged and pleaded to God for His help. I would wake up in the middle of the night and the first thing I thought of was my nephew. I was terrified of what he was going through or what he would do to his healthy body. I never knew if I would ever see him again. My faith is what helped me cope, but I still was overcome with worry as my sister's heart was broken. I know that over this last past year, God helped me every day to heal my own broken heart, to accept what I could not change in this life, and that nothing matters more in this world than my personal spiritual relationship with God. I have learned how to live in the NOW, how to be PRESENT, and I am grateful for every day I wake up, for every sunrise and sunset. Trust me, I no longer take anything for granted. I now tell my family and friends that I may not have tomorrow or next week or next month or next year but what I have is right NOW and I am cherishing every second of every minute of every day. God is with me, I am not alone, and I am blessed. I once heard a guest on Oprah's show about 20 years ago say: "LIFE IS NOT A HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY; LIFE IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WITH A HUMAN EXPEREINCE."

I get why many here want to separate the LGB and the TQ. But the whole alphabet-soup is fundamentally rooted in the core premise of the Sexual Revolution and modern feminism: men and women are essentially interchangeable.

This is the piece that is incompatible with the teaching of all Abrahamic religions: Jews, Christians, and Muslims. (And even James Martin.) The Biblical creation account highlights man and woman as two halves of a whole (Jerry Macguire was right.) Both the Bible and the Quran highlight distinct differences between men and women. These differences are the basis for our gender roles, "women and children first", the separation of men's and women's sports, what relationships we condone, why we don't draft women, and a host of other legal and social distinctions.

If the sexes are interchangeable, none of these rules make any sense. What does it matter if it's a man & woman boinking each other or two men? Why shouldn't two men get married? Why should women get priority on the lifeboats? If men and women are the same, women's sports really are discriminatory. Why should women get separate spaces when men don't? What's the harm of treating a men in a dress as a woman?

T or Q are a problem. But they're not THE problem. They're an effect not a cause. Separating them from the LGB won't solve anything, since the LGB also rely on the same underlying interchangeability. As long as that remains, T & Q will always return.

I recognize this is not a popular view in this group, but I've long maintained that you can't solve teen-trannies without taking on the acceptance of adult-trannies, and that requires challenging that "men and women are interchangeable" assumption.

Could it be that, through the removal of God from the public square, and the general acceptance of abortion and other self-centered behavior, our hearts have been hardened? Perhaps we are all receiving “hearts of flesh.”

The loss of a child in such a horrible way has broken our hearts. God has entered into my sorrow, or perhaps has allowed me to enter into His. My tears are not only mine but His as well. I cry to Him to break my heart more and more. What can I do FOR YOU, oh my Lord and my God?! I know that His love is so much greater than mine and I trust in His words. Like the Roman centurion who asked for his servant to be healed, we say, “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof but only say the word and I shall be healed.” Then, in faith, I ask Jesus to heal my daughter. I know that He can do as He wills. So I beg Him to heal her. It may not happen while I am here on this earth, but it will happen. Hope does not disappoint. Keep crying out to God. For the sake of your children and this world, but mainly for the love of our God who willingly gave His own Son to save us, get on your knees and cry out to the One who loves you.

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Come Holy Spirit. Save our children from the clutches of the evil one. Remove their hearts of stone and replace them with hearts of flesh. Bring them home. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

(Sue-Z Homemaker)
I think this experience gives us more than a heart of flesh, it gives us a piece of the heart of God—a unique opportunity to see through his eyes, how he sees his children, and how long suffering he is— and how foolish and rebellious we are!

May the Holy Spirit soften our children’s hearts and remove the scales from their eyes so that they may see, taste, and know that God is real and loves them dearly. And may they long to know that love above all else!

From an outside perspective— of course your son wanted to be a girl to attach himself to you. He had no male FATHER to which to create a healthy attachment to.

That’s another area where ideaology meets reality— it’s one thing to have a gay or lesbian sexuality in theory, or even for oneself, but how does that affect children who deserve both a mother and a father?

I say this not to call judgement on the author of this article or anyone else who identifies as gay/lesbian. But our society has accepted these forms of “marriage” without thinking about the unintended consequences of kids having two dads and no mom or two moms and no dad. Don’t children have a right to both a mother and a father? […] we do need the biological reality of male and female for children to develop healthfully.

(Discrete Music)
Education <— get one

Children of two same-sex parents come out every bit as well-adjusted, and no more likely to be gay, than those wqith opposite-sex parents.

Single parenting is vastly more harmful. All studies show this.

(Marie Descartes)
[…] A generation of LGB raising children has evolved into the natural anthropological outcome that one would expect. Could it be that LGB feelings are as much a confused state as TQ is? […] We have tried reinventing the wheel of society as push back against tradition, religion, mores… and it hasn’t ended well.

(Kris Newcomer)
I agree. I personally don’t understand the LGB desire to recreate marriage and a family— the whole idea of L and G (at least) is a pushback against the natural order of procreation. […] L and G lifestyle is explicitly against the natural order of procreation, so it doesn’t get to turn around and artificially procreate to opt into a family structure that its desires by their very nature rebuke. I realize this is an unpopular opinion, but there you are. I agree with you that I think LGB might be as confused as TQ.

PITT commenters #transphobia #homophobia #wingnut open.substack.com

“Gender dysphoria” is a code word for gay in boys, lesbian in girls.

It has no other meaning.

If that comes up the child should immediately be shuffled off to a gay or lesbian environment where other adults who have experience as a gay or lesbian child can give them the full facts before a delusional person does.

[…]

A psychotherapist or psychiatrist is no substitute.

Only real gays or lesbians can speak to the child as a peer.

(Islamae)
No one should shuffle their child off, homo or heterosexual, to adult groomers. As one homosexual father told his child's school board, "the pride flag is a sexual flag". […] Due in part to our sexually deviant media CULTure, many youth experiment with same sex experiences but grow into heterosexual adults. Counseling for childhood trauma should be available to homosexual & gender dysphoric youth without it being labeled "conversion therapy".

[…]

(Sufeitzy)
[…] I speak of numbers. Gender dysphoria is a manufactured conditions which is not scientifically defined.

[…]

When of comes to masculinity and feminity it is almost invariably gay or lesbian as a source.

Prove me wrong. Men begin homosexual behavior permanently at many stages in life.

[…]

(Dee)
I disagree. It would be fine if my daughter was a lesbian […] but as she’s gotten older it’s completely obvious that she’s not - she is attracted at least primarily to males. She gets crushes on males […] Yet she says she’s a boy. A gay boy.

[…] What about all the well-publicized cases of men who are trying to insist on joining lesbian groups and accusing women who won’t sleep with them of bigotry? […] It seems obvious that these types didn’t start identifying as trans because they were same-sex attracted.

[…]

(Lunafalls)
From everything I have read, being same-sex attracted is just one of MANY things that can cause a child to identify as trans. I really don't think it's that simple. Gay kids ARE being transed, but it's not limited to them.

(Sufeitzy)
Are you gay?

“Average Dad” #transphobia #wingnut open.substack.com

This is how PITT parents feel, all of us, my daughter a very similar story and she is 31 now, bearded and breastless. The pain is crushing, I will say that you can survive this pain, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time and the pain does lessen to a degree. Help other people in your life around you in whatever small ways you can. My wife and I adopted a beautiful little girl from DFCS in our state as we have been foster parents for a decade now, this little girl no one wanted, so we kept her and she is now my youngest daughter at 3 years old. Don't be afraid to tell your story because in our weakest moments, in our weakest times, when we tell the truth, we are at our strongest. My wife and I had a wedding to go to last weekend, we have been to many over the years, they were absolutely devasting for me in the beginning knowing I will never walk my oldest daughter down the aisle and give her away, I will never grandparent her biological children. The horror this has caused is uncountable, all our friends know what happened, all her old friends know what happened, most of them egged her on including their parents, no one will mention this horror, how or why would they? Maybe a muttered question once a year from a close friend or family member of "how is your oldest daughter?" It is crushing. Remember that we see people everyday around us overcome serious issues with health, loved ones, accidents, and survive and thrive, we all will do the same!

Stay the course, speak Truth with a great deal of Love and Compassion. Forgive everyone who has wronged you or your family, vengeance belongs to another and He will deal with them appropriately, our society is also coming around to see the Truth, those who did this will face consequences.

Many blessings on you and your family. When I completely gave my all up to Him. He gave me back my daughter.. it was a long and dark path, but we are out the other side.

The ruler of this world is fighting hard to shatter and break up families (divide and conquer), but he is a liar. The only ammunition he has are lies as he cheats and tries to steal our children.

Thank you for taking a stand alongside many other parents. United we stand. Claim God’s promises for your children every day. Our God is not a liar and He honours His promises.

Love and blessings to you x
