“puberty blockers” prevent the physical and psychological development which allowed me and many others to eventually overcome adolescent gender dysphoria. they block the cure.
“That is called trauma,” transgender therapist Carson Eckard told my confused daughter when she expressed fear that I might come to the campus of Rider University.
In October, it will be two years since Ilene took her life.
Trauma.
It is a word therapists use so often when gender-confused children speak about parents who question or oppose their new identity. Trauma. A word that now haunts me. And sometimes I wonder whether Carson Eckard truly understands what trauma means.
I am talking about the trauma many parents experience in this country when their children are pulled away from them by a combination of therapists, schools, peers, transgender activists, pastors, and even state involvement.
Does Carson Eckard know what it feels like when Mother’s Day comes and the daughter you love with all your heart doesn’t call to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day?
Does Carson Eckard know what it feels like when DCF shows up at your door because a transgender pastor filed a complaint against you despite never having met you and having met your daughter only once?
Does Carson Eckard know what it feels like when a university you trusted with your child’s education and safety labels you “unsafe�� and bars you from its campus?
Does Carson Eckard know what it feels like when your child’s birthday arrives and you are unable to spend it with her?
Does Carson Eckard know what it feels like when police knock on your door and tell you that your child is dead—and that her body lay alone in a dorm room for four days while the university was celebrating National Coming Out Day?
Does Carson Eckard know what it feels like to stand beside your daughter’s casket and see her lying there, motionless, knowing that every hope, every dream, every plan you had for her future has come to an end?
Does Carson Eckard know what it feels like to watch that casket slowly lowered into the ground, knowing that this is the last time you will ever be physically close to your child?
That is trauma.
The sleepless nights. The unanswered messages. The fear. The helplessness. The grief. The years of wondering whether there was something more you could have done.
Yet I suspect Carson Eckard would not describe what I feel as trauma, despite being a licensed therapist.
To Carson Eckard, trauma was my daughter’s belief that something was wrong with her body and my refusal to affirm that belief.
But what would Carson Eckard call what I have lived through?
What would Carson Eckard call what countless other parents are living through right now?
If losing your child while she is still alive is not trauma, and losing her forever is not trauma, then what is?
Can we just put all these Dr's & politicians in jail that support mutilation of CHILDREN. I am so pissed that they can lie, threaten & lablel this as Life Saving! They are mutilating children all over the world. WHY? This is a nightmare for these children for rest of life!
Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy...
She's talking about "gender confirmation surgery for minors"..aka...surgically mutilating young boys genitals and cutting off young girls breasts...
She should be in prison...
“...about three to four years ago I started seeing patients come through suffering from the effects of ‘gender affirming care’…
My patients come to me expecting a fix, they come expecting a solution, they come expecting a treatment or a medication that will fix the problem or what they perceive as the problem that will take them out of the discomfort and the pain they're in and get them to a place where they can get to work the next day and be okay.
That's a lie...”
The detransitioner rabbit hole is starting. Because so many young people have taken the “ transition” route and then realized they made a mistake that is irreversible even though adults like therapists and doctors told them they could change their sex at 14 and cut off their penis NEVER to get it back. The trans activist community needs to be held accountable for this as well as “doctors “ like @HelenWebberley
@sappholives83 A total tragedy.
As you mentioned, Marci Bowers, former president of WPATH, admits that all the boys who started puberty blockers at Tanner Stage 2 have never been able to have an orgasm.
“Kids came in distressed and, they left with prescriptions… Most gender non conforming kids will grow up to be gay, if we just left them alone” @JamieWhistle CA SB 934
The World Professional Association For Transgender Health has disabled public access to its database of doctors.
The move comes after a top surgeon associated with the organization was exposed as having connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

@JeffEvely@CanadianPM Just wtf 😳 Why do the powers that be in this world think harming children is allowed? THIS is NOT the picture they paint to these children, parents and vulnerable adults
Chairman of LGB Alliance @lgbinternationl Iceland @justgayice Eldur Smari Kristinsson: “You can actually debate whether this is a school or whether it's a state sanctioned indoctrination camps”
The American Medical Association trusts this gender doctor at the University of Michigan as a top expert.
Our exchange reveals much about the medicalization of healthy children in the name of care.
Doctor Krikorian doesn't use the term "Wrong Puberty", but prescribes accordingly.
Krikorian conflates a 70 year old's transitioning with 12 year olds.
Kirkorian points to low quality evidence and does not seem to know what a systematic review is.
Krikorian fervently believes children know what is best for themselves and are capable of making the decision to destroy their own bodies and future fertility.
Krikorian admits that experimentation is the only way to find out if lifelong pharmaceuticals are what is best for gender confused kids.
LET KIDS BE KIDS
This week, we took action to END child mutilation in the state of Michigan by banning gender reassignment surgeries for minors and requiring insurance companies to assist with detransition care.
48 Democrats voted against these common-sense bills.
@BradPaquetteMI
@BradPaquetteMI@GovWhitmer Thanks for Sharing. We need to connect when your in the area. Like to buy you a coffee ☕️ and talk about getting more involved in Michigan.
Thankful this is coming to an end. Michigan's my home state. It better be passed by our Governor too! @GovWhitmer My don wrote you for help... you ignored the damage this has caused! Im officially saying STOP harming children! Let them grow up & make grown decisions as adults!
BREAKING 🚨The Michigan House has passed HB 4466 with a 57-48 vote, which will BAN gender-affirming “care” for minors! One step closer to adding Michigan to our win column of states that have banned this type of medical abuse on kids.
@EithanDHaimMD@elonmusk@BurkeLawTweets Can you help Jonni do this in Michigan? Hes trying to change policy, so HE can get ethical health care. He's fighting for all children all over the world. Are any of you going to help him?
“But my mom always had questions and she was a big proponent of trying to help me get comfortable in my body.” Detransitioner Jonni Skinner (@JonniSkinner) on how ‘gender affirming’ clinicians shut down his mother’s concerns about medical transition.
