I think the thesis of this article is largely right but I don’t think it’s a “trans war on the family” but it should be “Queer Theory’s war on the family” the trans role is just one part.

Queer theory? should we shorten it to Queeory?

It's the new religious mindset you'll see with any cult. Your family doesn't accept the cult you need to choose between the cult and your family. Not at all unusual with this sort of thing. Saw it with the revolutionary communist types as well essentially believing the cause was by all end all more important than anything.

Not sure how parents are supposed to navigate this in the current era but I think I'd just cut my kids off if they start goin down this road. Maybe that would make me a bad parent? Maybe. But I think that you can't simply accept and love your kids no matter what. There's a lot of room for patience and forgiveness of mistakes but well, if the kid is a psychopath not much you can do, if they murdered someone in cold blood or do anything else that severely threatens the rest of the family seems like it's the right thing to do to turn them in. And if they want to go about at school causing problems for the family because they don't feel safe being themselves at home and I've got to accept it or else, I'll just say I won't accept it, and if they don't feel safe because of it they can just not bother coming home.

In the last couple of months I've heard a number of stories of parents who took a calculated 'don't beat them, join them' approach. These were all in cases of girls insisting they are boys, which is recognised as social contagion, so I don't know how well it would work on a son. But what has supposedly happened is that once the daughter claims to be trans, one of the parents also comes out. Either the dad says he's relieved to hear she is trans as he has been wanting to tell her that he is really a lady, and now knows she'll accept him. He then starts dressing as the worst example of an AGP and starts insisting he take her to school, out for food, shopping together, etc until he embarrasses her back to reality. Or the mother says, 'wow, your reasoning for being really a man apply to me too, I must also be a transman.' The daughter will most likely hate this and start arguing the case for her not being trans, and will eventually realise it's bullshit.

In both cases it means that the parent gets to dive right into the cult with their child, go to the meetings, can't be cut off by the school, etc. It stops the child from being isolated, while at the same time being presented day in, day out with just how ridiculous they are being.

This would be a funny sitcom plot if it wasn't real.

Cult deprogramming at its finest.

Takes parents with courage though.

We have a winner! It's insane how much it plays a part.

You’re right. Trans is a very specific thing and no sane person would doubt how it plays a part on destruction; but other types of “queerness” are damaging too. Even the push for younger and younger people to identify with something and showcase their labels online.

If you trace it back to its origin you will find that it is the Communist war against humanity.

Reproduction via recruitment.

Say, isn’t there a word for that?
