There are many parents with desisted kids out there. No one is talking about us or trying to learn from our experience. We have created a website to bring greater awareness about desisters… pittparents.com/p/announcing…

Heartbreaking. All parents should be horrified. Can the state take your child if they don't like your political beliefs? Religion? Morals? Apparently. This can not stand.
A Massachusetts family says the state took custody of their teenage daughter after they refused to affirm her as a boy, citing their Catholic faith. The parents allege a school counselor socially transitioned their daughter without their knowledge, then reported them to the Department of Children and Families. Now the state has guardianship, and a restraining order prevents the teen's parents and older brother from contacting her. A judge has temporarily blocked the state from administering high-dose testosterone as the family fights the case. The next court hearing is set for Oct. 29. | @LaurenGreenFox @AmericaNewsroom

we have had parents who followed a similar model to help their gender dysphoric youth as parents with daughter's with anorexia and bulimia. They are a crisis of perception.
Anorexia and transgender identity might seem like two very different things, but both can involve what psychologists call an “overvalued belief.” Why, then, do we challenge that belief in one case and affirm it in the other?

this is so BONKERS. Does anyone want the state to have this much control?
A 15-year-old girl was removed from fit and loving parents in MA by DCF for not saying she is a boy. Listen to the letter their daughter wrote to her father on his birthday, only 2 months before she was taken away. Listen to the gut-wrenching pain from both her mother and father. It's been over a year since they have seen or spoken to their daughter. Gender identity ideology is the biggest threat families face today. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

and who was Levine's boss? Becerra who is ahead in the polls in Calif for Gov.
Scoop: The Unredacted Email That Shows Exactly Who Knew Why WPATH Caved to Dr. Rachel Levine On Trans-Care Age Limits benryan.substack.com/p/scoop… For two years, black bars have hid the names on the email. I got the original. WPATH's president wrote to Dr. Levine and spelled out who was in the loop as they softened the age-limit recommendations.

Parenting means having uncomfortable conversations with your kids. ie: we won't be using those pro nouns, cutting off parts of your body won't make you happier

Youths who say they are trans and non binary have another issue that needs to be dealt with. Could be autism, sexual abuse, trauma, bullying Don't affirm, but be kind and support working thru the underlying issue.

Parents of distressed youth. Don't give in. Don't affirm. "I love you and we will sort out the uncomfortable feelings life presents together." Don't be pressured by mass media, other moms or "experts".

using the term "Trans kid" is the same as saying "a kid driver".

This law has harmed children. A total overreach of the state
🚨 BREAKING: CALIFORNIA CAN NO LONGER SECRETLY TRANSITION KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS You are probably asking yourself, California was doing what? A few years ago, California passed AB 1955. This law told teachers and school administrators they had to keep a child’s social transition (new name, pronouns, gender identity) secret from parents. If they told the parents, they could face penalties. Because of this law, multiple children were secretly transitioned at school. Parents only found out after the transition had already started. In one heartbreaking case, parents only learned their child had been socially transitioned after the student attempted to take their own life. Schools even had specific trainings teaching staff how to hide this information from moms and dads. Thanks to the Mirabelli v. Bonta case, the Supreme Court just stepped in and ruled that schools can no longer hide these major decisions from parents. This is your California government at work, trying to dismantle your fundamental rights as a parent. Parents have the right to know. Period. Find out if your school district is secretly transitioning kids. Share, inform, vote and help us fight for California.

I will get a call, a text, an email if my child is 5 minutes late to class, but if they want to change their gender identity, nothing. Excuse? Parents might harm a "trans" child. How do they know I wont harm a tardy one? School staff are already mandated reporters.
Newsom picked the WRONG fight, PARENTS WON AGAIN! After suing us at Chino Valley & pushing AB 1955 to hide kids’ transitions from families, he lost in the 9th Circuit. Pride comes before the fall. We’re just getting started 💪🇺🇸🐻 nypost.com/2026/06/21/opinio…

If you are a parent new to this world start with this: Don't affirm. That is being a kind, compassionate parent.

Tell us again how "this is not happening". The mass contagion continues and the medical establishment is complicit.
This is truly shocking data out of Oregon. Between 2016 and 2023, nearly 1 in 100 insured children ages 8 to 17 received a gender dysphoria diagnosis. By age 17, around 1 in 240 insured girls were on testosterone and 1 in 630 boys were on estrogen.

This is real progress
"As part of a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, the Cleveland Clinic pledged $2 million in care for people who detransition after receiving medical interventions as minors."

Why our kids took on the trans Identity: "My son didn't know himself or what he was good at. His lack of self esteem and a struggle with his identity lead him to identifying as trans.”

Thank you for your courage Claire.
Claire Abernathy was put on testosterone at 14, had a double mastectomy before she was in high school, and was fighting to have her medical transition reversed by 17. Now 21, she is detransitioning and urging lawmakers to help protect minors. trib.al/ZZmqAPh

"Theories I made up out of whole cloth"
Transgender children are not confused, or the product of same sex attraction or trauma. They were born with an internal gender identity opposite their sexed body, which results in gender dysphoria. There is an excellent extant treatment for it - gender affirming care.

He is running for Pelosi's seat in congress. If you think the state should raise your kids and not parents, he is your guy.
In 2012, @scott_wiener authored and passed a bill (SB 232) that would make it nearly impossible for parents to find a mental health provider for their child that would help him or her come to terms with the fact that their gender identity crisis may just be the result of their emerging same sex attractiveness, a childhood trauma or other mental health crisis. Scott wants a gender confused kid to stay that way and get on the bullet train to a life on hormones and endless surgeries. Vote @MHurabiell
