May I suggest a Day of Children Lost to Gender Ideology and it take place in September as Fall occurs? Get parents of ROGD kids as well as deteansitioners to help promote it on social media. A hashtag #ChildLost2TCult ?
Not certain. We've talked about the best ways to support them. They deserve so much more than they get. We would also like to get the real stats out there.
Well I'd like to suggest that ONLY detransitioners create any conference, march or otherwise ANY detrans event. Too many times people who are not the marginalized population try and create events like this and they have no place doing it. Outsiders need to help - not dominate the narrative of the experiences of others who have been crushed by society. If detrans are not leading these 'Awareness Days' then someone will be mighty sorry they stepped in it. Good intentions are something that only the humble need take on in order to be involved ethically.
We also can't forget about the parents if detransitioners who have fought long hard battles to save their children. Maybe we need a PODK celebration. Parents of Detransitioned Kids.
Then THAT would be the event - not using detransitioners as the cause. Events ALWAYS should come from the targeted community - not those sympathetic to it. Otherwise the whole thing starts out murky...
These “most marginalized,” and “most at risk of violence because of this status,” tropes are wheeled out again and again, along with the tired and unsupported suicide stats used to manipulate parents into consenting to harm perpetrated on their children by ideologue clinicians. We in the US are stuck in a cultural wave that idolizes oppression and our boys — well-supported and privileged — are eager to ditch the horrible “cis/white/toxic male” label however they can. What better way than to opt out entirely while simultaneously attaining the highly desirable victim status? The dramatic “trauma” endured by my kid, who has every reasonable comfort available to him — a nice home, healthy food, a supportive school environment, extracurricular activities and lessons (and ready transportation to and from), decent clothing, robust medical care, plus loving parents eager to help him succeed and grow — would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous. It’s infuriating when we have kids in our diverse community enduring serious, real-world challenges — parents who are addicts and/or absent and/or abusive, homelessness and tremendous poverty, food insecurity… kids who live with the very real threat of gun violence in their neighborhoods, yet we see our kids suck the social justice air out of the room. My child is too immature, too easily influenced, too caught in the thrall of his own imaginary victim status to see this reality and too enabled by a culture driven to prove itself virtuous in the most superficial of ways, to understand how he’s been manipulated. Parents who are living this nightmare deserve a Day of Remembrance for the children we are losing day by day, and as a testament to our unending and unacknowledged grief, and the terror of witnessing our children inch ever-closer to the cliff.
I agree profoundly. "Parents would like to see a Day of Visibility as well. We would like a special Day to remember our children who have been harmed". You are so right. Why can't we have our own international day or days? One for our lost boys and girls, one for our misguided "adult" children. One for children like my grandson who have lost a parent to this pernicious movement. One for us and our endless grief.
"Of the 53 "victims" listed, 22 are not actually victims. And one is plain just made up. At a rate of less than 3/100k, TG are safer than the general pop. And much safer than women who are killed at a rate of 12.2/100k."
"Female prostitutes are murdered at a rate in excess of 200 per 100k. TiM prostitutes, as some of these victims surely are, are evidently capable of defending themselves better than female prostitutes."
It is incredibly abusive to gaslight "trans kids" into thinking they are under constant threat of violence.
Lynn Meagher is a liar, an abuser, a threat to the community. She has several unmedicated mental health / personality disorders that she refuses to get treated while all the rest of us paid the price for 20 years. Meanwhile she thinks she's qualified to tell other people they can't take their medications either even if they want them. Lynn is a poopoo peepee dumb dumb bad humanbeing and I hate her.
Consider getting some help, it is clear you have some significant issues and are hurting. I hope you find peace. I am thankful for Lynn's efforts to help those who are vulnerable.
GROW the heck up Christopher. You are not special, you are not original, you are a liar, you are mentally disturbed. Not to mention, you are lazy. Copy and paste much? Your mother is right not to "validate" your delusions. Get help. And stop wishing death for her as well. NO woman would do that or use language as you do--you are so typically male it would be laughable except for the viciousness. Karma may deal with you in ways you will NOT like!! The Universe is watching you. As are we.
This guy with his copypasta. It’s actually very sad, he has no idea how respected his mom has become, how many people she’s helped. It’s showed over the holidays, she’s had a steady stream of visitors (me included)!

Great idea and don't forget that Detrans Awareness Day is March 12th. One day in the spring and one in the fall! 👍
Are detransitioners organizing this? I hope someone else is not...

Another well written piece. Let’s pick a day and start a day of visibility. Who cares what the government supports.

Here's a twitter thread about PFLAG's TDOR 2020 list of 53 names...

LGBTQ is a new religion, complete with holy days.

Oh, Christopher, did you just copy and paste the same juvenile comment on every post of your mother’s blog?
Christopher, you are male, you are your mother’s only son, and your mother loves you very much.

A Gender Critical Coming Out Day is planned for December 19th 2021: https://gendercriticalcomingoutday.org/actions
Who ever decided to do that fell thru the cracks with the publicity. It went by with no fanfare. Too bad, it was an interesting idea.
Interesting. I saw loads of people coming out. I think it went well for a first try. Let's encourage each other's efforts.
