For decades, researchers and psychologists have recognized that the levels of “insistence and persistence” of gender dysphoria in children are important factors to measure.

The Abyss
This is how it feels to watch my child embrace gender ideology: It’s like I am watching my daughter jumping into the abyss. She is falling in slow-motion, having purposely leapt past me into a gaping hole with no bottom in sight. I am holding out my hand to catch her as she falls past, … Continue reading The Abyss

Dear Planned Parenthood, I cannot support you at this time and here is why. Planned Parenthood does not require any sort of mental health assessment before youth seeking hormones for transition can obtain those powerful medicines. What else are you neglecting here?

The World Needs All Kinds Of Boys
My son came out as trans to me by text message almost 3 years ago. His message basically said “I am trans and I need hormones”.
