Gender ideology has completely derailed our family's teenage years.
I grieve for the actual teenage years my kids could have had.
I grieve for the years taken up having to learn EXACTLY what it means for my children and our family and how we as their parents should parent🧵1
I'm so fucking angry
We are having a memorial service for the victims and 101 hostages and families of a terror attack by a proscribed terrorist organisation.
Listen to those savages! 😡We are in mourning! It's a memorial.

My little girl, at a very young age, was introduced to an adult agenda in queer theory and ‘gender identity’. As she grew into puberty she was told that sex is arbitrarily assigned at birth and that she can be born in the wrong body. Being a vulnerable child
Preferred pronouns are not your friend:-
I thought, since everyone is talking about it, you might want to know what using preferred pronouns was like for our family?
Back when this first started, our kids wanted us to use these new names and call them by the opposite sex. We
@TTExulansic
This seems dangerous for others with testosterone transfer. Also I don't understand....non binary but using a male drug. How is that being neither sex?
@Headteacherchat
Please don't collude in this dangerous practice. Cass Report has identified it as being a dangerous practice to affirm a child in a trans identity without first having their comorbidities taken into consideration.
@TransKidsRule
So, your son was unable to communicate with the professional. You were unable to communicate on the written professional papers.
You see no problem with this and think your son has no MH issues.
I'm lost for words.
Except to say puberty blockers are irreversible and cause
I think along with their dead name, their deadteeenage years would have been way more interesting in a fun way and we would have parented them, as we always had, in an attachment parenting way, with gentle supportive guidance.
We didn't know then what was happening. 2
There were LOTS. We cycled through so many my head was spinning. I was also becoming suspicious.
Then lockdown happened. I started hugely researching and I, a lifelong radical alternative woman and also a feminist did not like what I was learning. No one would listen or even 5
Message from my friend:
Dd just started uni. She is taking Latin and says she is THE ONLY NON-TRANS kid in a class of about 40. Why Latin? Because all old texts written in classical languages are translated with a transphobic bias, so they will re-translate them "properly"
😲 😱
UPDATE: I have now heard from the Court of Appeal that I have been granted permission to proceed with my appeal. This is very significant news. In the appeal I have argued that cross sex hormones should not be provided in a private clinic or where there is a disagreement between
Just dropped middle at Scouts and by chance, heard a leader use he/him pronouns. Took her into a side room and gave her what for. 😡 Nah. Didn't really!!! I civilly asked her to stop doing it and explained how it's actually quite a detrimental thing to do. Turns out she agreed.

@wesstreeting
The real question is what about the children who have been caught up in this? How are they going to be convinced that testosterone and double mastectomies are NOT the answer?

parents but I regret not realising what was going on sooner and perhaps my vulnerable impressionable children would have had the normal amount of cranky teenage years full of fun, confusion, mayhem, trauma and excitement instead of the self loathing, harming, anger and hatred. 8
Eldest is now talking top surgery hates her breasts would rather kill herself than be a woman and says she won't respond to her name again. We have been in this for over 5yrs and I had a small slither of hope left that there might be some desisting after being away for the summer

& I'd done a bit of research, I was actually too scared to ask. Took me a while to find a casual non committal way of asking what it meant without an argument or a lecture or an eyeroll or whatever.
Talk of sexuality & gender at the dinner table for months. ALL 96 of them. 4
It's my 14yr old that worries me most, that the most harm has come to just for being gender non-conforming to societal stereotypes, she was told she was all wrong inside herself. 17
(Written originally on different account)
I didn't want to exclude anyone. Now I think I've outgrown the term TERF and it's delicious 'rabblerousingness' and understand it to mean so much more than 'excluding' a tiny minority of 'unfortunate' folk. I am not denying anyone's existence, we are still loving supportive 7

My hope is that as many parents as possible, see what's happening so they can engage with their children and
We couldn't see it, for being loving and supportive parents that we were just always being. Don't get me wrong, it started off fun and interesting. Pride marches, badges, posters, music and flags. So many flags. Some turned out to be L'Manberg but by the time that one arrived 3
house. There's a gender hefalump festering in the corner that noone wants to touch anymore. We are tired. We are done in. I think we are all just trying to learn to love each other again, opinions and all. My hope is we will eventually come out the other side of this somewhat 15
I could write more about how we dealt with name changes, pronoun changes, mood changes, the changes. What we've lost and what we've gained. My eyes are drooping, though, so I'll stop for now. 9
Instead, we got personal unprofessionalism after being lured into a trusting therapeutic bond. We haven't heard from them yet, we are sort of in a quiet place. We all have our own counsellor. We barely talk about anything gender, sex or trans in the 14
family home. Again, little did we know. Ideology has truly taken a stronghold at CAMHS and before we knew it, we were slammed into a social services wall. We were expecting support and wisdom. 13

an 'also known as' type clause. Tbh, I don't think it helped. It made them a target and created more bullying. Meanwhile, we were trying to find support for our self harming, depressed, confused, suicidal children. Over the years, they have had mental health assessments, and 11
So, when after all the support and information and discussions it became clear things were not improving, we compromised, under massive amounts of pressure about the innocuousness of it all, to allow them to use their new names in school. It was pitched to us as 10
@bindelj
Gender ideology is homophobic, regressive and an adult agenda that doesn't belong anywhere near children. It has nothing to do with section 28 as gender ideology actively works against gay children. No one is born in the wrong body and children are not trans.
I have no issue
You can, however, believe us mother's when we tell you how it has been for our families. You can believe us when we tell you about what our children are being taught about gender ideology. You can believe us when tell you our children are not trans. You can stop telling them lies
but I still get total silence from my 14yr old, who I feel has been traumatised by this whole situation and calls of terf from my 16yr old. 16
I thank G-d every day her ambition for being 16 was to buy those monster energy drinks!! 17

how does this affect your case? I'm gobsmacked and livid. How did this suddenly pop up from nowhere in light of everything that is being revealed from WPATH? This is worse. Such worse. It's just horrific. I can't.
Unless you're in it, there's no fucking way you understand what it's like holding back the mudslide of shite with gender idefuckingology. So please carry on with your scientificating and psycholgising but don't forget there's a 10yr old, there's an 11yr old, there's a 12yr old,

The cards are falling. The house is crumbling. The inhabitants are feeling disconcerted.

She said that they've been told that if the child asks, they have to do it. So I said well I'm her mother and I'm asking you all to stop.

This is when, due to the trauma, we shut down as a family and stopped talking about ANY of it. After 7 months of stress and worry later, we received a call from social services. We said she was now in private therapy, and they immediately closed it. 21
