This is painful to read as I have a transgender daughter. I still don’t and won’t call her by her pronouns which she wants to be they/them. She’s legally changed to a male and had her beasts cut off. I love her as a person. I can’t call her my son. I have two other sons. She said she doesn’t even feel like a man. My heart hurts for how she was misled by society and I worry for her health mentally and physically. But i need her in my life so I will do all I can to love her. I’m a mama bear. She chose this as an adult. The military supported her and pushed her along in her conversion. She was all the way across the country. I mourn it all when I really think about it so I try not to. But it’s all around me these days. I want to join the fight but I don’t know how to do that and still have my daughter know I love her no matter what.
Gender dysphoria is social contagion. This one sentence describes the huge number of gender identity issues with our country’s youth. It’s like a cult, and pure evil.
I thought the "What is a Woman" controversy really demonstrated the dishonesty of the Left. Our "wannabe" overlords first told us we could not see the film due to several instances of "misgendering", which they call "hate speech". Now that we've all seen the film, it's clear that it was never about a few random pronouns uttered by interviewees. It was always only about shutting down public discussion. Thank God Elon is in charge at Twitter now!
Transgender is the new state religion. If you don't believe me, compare transgenderism to any other religion.
1. There are rituals. (getting your group together to announce that you're trans)
2. There are statements you're not allowed to make.
3. There are statements you're required to make.
4. There's the whole idea of a magical re-birth. Once you accept your place in the trans community you are born again as something you have never been, and, unless you have faith, could never be.
Minnesota won't charge young adults for murder because their brains haven't fully developed - but they will let a 14-year-old undergo genital mutilation because "affirming."
Childhood is supposed to be a time for exploration without danger, a time to try out new things. But now a boy who plays with a doll or who tries his mom's nail polish, or a girl who likes baseball and first-person shooters, is told they're in the "wrong body" by their teachers and counselors and other supposedly trusted adult figures, and if the kid even haltingly agrees, they're put on a fast track to surgical mutilation with almost no guardrails.
And the real crime in all this is that in Minnesota, as in California and a few other states, it is illegal to so much as ask them if they're sure? Adults are allowed to suggest a kid is "trans," but nobody - even their parents - is allowed to to push back on that.
And we also know - from the McMartin Preschool scandal 40 years ago - that kids, even adolescent kids, are eager to tell adults what they think adults want to hear. So if a teacher, a doctor, a counselor appears ready to give approval to such a declaration, the child will give it - without possibly understanding the ramifications of what that means.
It is a crime against humanity, by any definition.
Sadly, it will likely take a few such declarations from The Hague or elsewhere before we can protect our children's interests without being declared criminals.
In the meantime, we take Dr. King's advice and fill the jails with the righteous.
As always, Sasha, your writing is poignant and powerful. The accumulation of "little harms", outlined so well by Megyn Kelly has created a twisted movement far more powerful than it's part in real life.
Have we come to hate ourselves so much that we will latch on to even the sickest of false ideologies to gain a moment of perceived, but still false, moral superiority? That moment is so fleeting and so unfulfilling - because we know it is a lie - that we must exert even more effort at the next opportunity to grasp that irrevocably elusive ring of self acceptance.
I would like to feel empathy, as Megyn Kelly describes, but, in all honesty, hope that those perpetrating the pain on others feel it ten times worse if that's what it takes for them to hit "rock bottom" and decide to get off that drug.
My goodness what a painful topic. I can't thank you enough Sasha for this thoughtful article. I just want to cry when I think of all the children being misled. It is so important that we show nothing but love to all these misguided people, yet we have to find a way to stop those who continue to spread this madness on minors.
Don't play the pronoun game, it's been said on Sasha's site before, it's a gateway drug.
Live to truth, meaning live in accordance to truth, you are not helping when you don't want to potentially hurt feelings.
Be humble, be loving, turn back to God.
If we all turned back to God tomorrow, we would fix these messes, but being human, we would create a whole new set of issues and problems, as I'm not naïve. But, the bigger point is, you have a much better chance for happiness in your life when you return to the word, the truth.
God bless you Sasha for helping to enlighten on this horrible problem in our society.
“It shouldn’t be surprising that to gain control of our youth, they must first gain control of women by driving a wedge between them and their kids or co-opting them as happy cult members sending their kids into the lion’s den.” Thank you for this- perfectly explained. We have lost so much as women and mothers. My heart grieves, but I will not lose hope.
The Marxists figured out long ago that class warfare would not work here due to our class mobility so they turned 'critical theory' on every other facet of life in a free country.
This alphabet crap is nothing more than trying to destroy the family unit in the name of Marxism. The Left is the cult of death and I am glad people are seeing it. You DO NOT have to conform to any of this crap.
'Conservative Christians' aren't the old 'religious right', we are normal people you deal with every day and we don't try to tell you how to live your lives, just stay out of ours - I don't care if you want to have sexual relations with a tree just don't make me pay for sliver removal.
I'm really sorry Sasha, it's so horrible, but they're enforcing a lie. Pretty much everyone here knows who "they" are. "They" would force us to accept a lie, actually a tissue of lies about gender which in God's creation is dual: two.
"They" think otherwise, and what "they" are enforcing is the modern equivalent of "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength," applied to gender.
They're never going to change the truth found in the opening of Scripture, God's love letters to us.

As a mother and grandmother, this was your most powerful piece yet. Thank you. I’m sure it was gut-wrenching to write it.
Nothing, nothing matters more than our children.

What makes me sick to my stomach is the sheer hatred and lack of humanity in the response to her death.
Maybe becoming an "activist" DOES really turn you into a giant asshole? Or perhaps it's a chicken and the egg situation?
May she RIP 🙏

Very powerful, thank you for your courage. I agree, it’s time for the mama bears to stand up.
Sasha, pitch-perfect. As usual.
