“A world where a loving parent is the enemy.”

A mom shares her experience with trans ideology and the harm of the transgender medicalization model

Some people think trans is the new gay and the latest social justice movement. They have good intentions of inclusion and diversity, but they may not understand what is happening to children or the ramifications of this harmful ideology.

Those who rush to affirm often disregard a child’s distress, confusion, trauma, pain, underlying autism, or mental issues. Some children self-identify as the opposite sex only after being swayed by gender influencers. They need time to mature and move through puberty, with caring adults helping them explore natural treatment options and mental health care. Instead, many children are lured onto the trans train and subjected to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones that create lifelong drug dependencies, and irreversible surgeries to remove healthy body parts.

The Trans Train brings awareness of what is happening from a clear and rational parent’s perspective of losing a daughter to the trans movement. New ideologies can be positive and progressive if they unite people and strengthen families. Yet gender ideology often cancels those who ask questions or disagree. It erodes the parent-child bond and shatters families. And it is affecting all sectors of society and women’s rights.
