That’s not what some here are suggesting, though. They’re suggesting that “schools” (i.e., teachers) have the capacity to turn kids into raving queers.

Kindergartners are more susceptible. Treet one as special the rest want the same. In late teens early adulthood they ave a pre existing mental health issue.

“I lived in the same house as this young person for 16/18/20 years and nothing of what they have become reflects the values I tried to impart.”

I doubt any parent would think or say that. They are more likely to think their child would have been far worse off without their input. If you are only part of the input, that would be a reasonable view. And no parent is the whole input, because peers, media, a child’s nature and culture in general also has a go, as well as the other parent who is not always on the same page.

“Hmmm. The apple don’t fall far …”.

Often true. Can be due to genetic likenesses, which certainly exist and have a place, or cultural ambits, which one might think of as where the apple tree is growing. It’s also hard to see the source of heat when you’re standing in the kitchen feeling hot.

I’m prepared to bet that at least three quarters of parents of children who turn trans are likely to be halfway down the road of living out the tenets of cultural leftism, with its associated excuse-making tendencies and lack of serious time structuring and with little sense of any higher purpose in their lives. Their kids are not socialised into getting up in the morning and sorting out their own lives. They have dependency issues. Their peers are lefties and they are, parents and children, all subject to influence due to emotional neediness. Call it the soft underbelly of modern life.

That said, these parents don’t deserve what trans ideology serves up. No-one does.

They had zero input or influence.

Perhaps it can feel like that, but it’s never true. It’s a question of whether the parent/s can sort out the good from the bad influences they may have had. Even parental absence is a form of influence. My experience in counselling is that most parents do feel a lot of personal guilt when a child goes off the rails. It’s something I feel in my own life too and I’m very prepared to examine how and where things went wrong. And know from the love I have for my family, that is returned, where things went right.

Perhaps optimistically I think the trans thing is now facing a mounting backlash. I knew that would happen in sports and it appears to be spreading.

There are some very worrying trends in the younger generations. It isn’t just the trans issue, there is also anxiety and depression, and doctors are alarmed at the increasing rates of bowel cancer, obesity, diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular diseases in the under 40’s. That trend is now at least a decade old. I must stop reading.

While I’m here … that comment about non-functional dicks in FtM. I had this terrible thought. Some doctor somewhere is probably planning to start harvesting male cadaver genitalia for transplant purposes.
