“I did try to educate my son about the trans insanity”
So you kept telling your daughter she was wrong, confused, lied to, and never actually felt the feelings that drove her. Yeah, that went over well.
“and found who I thought was a sane therapist when my son flirted with the trans nonsense during high school.”
Who, if they’re competent, told your daughter she was going to have to seek the change without you.
“But maybe I should have sat on the couch more next to my son while he played video games.”
Video games do not make anyone trans.
“Maybe I should have forbid him playing Dungeons and Dragons with a bunch of girls”
Vaginas are not contagious!
And D&D doesn’t make people trans. It is a wonderful venue for experimenting and exploring. Half my characters were female just because it was different.
“but I didn't want him lonely. Maybe, maybe, maybe.”
Yes, yes, Me, me, me, what could I have done differently to maintain the status quo.
“But my husband and I did exert substantial effort to help our confused son, and we thought he was in remission when he was thriving in high school. And then he fell deep into the trans abyss freshman year at an esteemed college. And now he is a collapsed person at 23 -- mentally and physically deteriorated.”
You made her choose, you made her live a lie, and now, I don’t know if there were consequences or if you’re imagining this collapse.
“When we were in the thick of it, PITT had not started. Maybe if it had, I would have known how to try harder.”
And moved from annoying to felony?
“I need to find a way to now drown in regret or sadness.”
By all means, be our guest. Just wash your hands afterwards.
