Thank you for a very important post. This explains so much. I've been trying to figure why the common practice now is to fast track children/youth into mutilation and causing more long term harm to themselves. Your article explains so very clearly what is now (purposefully) ignored, which I do not understand why. If the goal was to actually help/heal our children thorough treatment would be the first thing to be put into place rather than the forced rushing of puberty blockers, body mutilation, etc. whic is occurring in too many many places now. Also, I really do not grasp why the trans issue has become so political and is being used as a club to avoid effectively treating these children/youth and help them navigate through their possible childhood trauma(s.). I keep trying to think who benefits from avoiding successful treatment of these children/youth.

Hi there: One of my newsletters is focused on Parental Alienation. I have been an alienated parent and haven't seen my daughter in over seven years. Her mother began alienating me from Alexis when she was three years old, and it continues to the very day. I started supporting other alienated parents, and since the lockdowns, alienated parents are reporting an explosion of transgender kids and gender-related issues, unlike at any additional time in history. Trauma does indeed harm our kids, and parental alienation created by one parent can impact our kid's mental health, including their identity. Social media exacerbate another essential part of trauma which often transcends grounds and creates more victimized mindsets. One last point when I was ten years old, my father committed suicide. I have no memory of this next point, but I was told I didn't speak a single word to anyone for nearly six months. Now that I'm almost 57, I still don't recall the fact I didn't speak for over six months. I can confidently state the suicide of my father created early childhood trauma events and have taken many years to overcome.
