Thank you for continuing to build on and expand the research and contemporary journalism you and your peers are actively connecting. Thank you for not simply repeating catch phrases, but doing the active work of research

I first found you when my daughter was ROGD and I didn’t know what that met.

In three months, I’d read all the studies you cited and listened to all Of the podcast. That helped me in so many ways, especially not to accept the clinic’s assessment without question.

But what changed my daughter’s mind was a visit from our former babysitter, who self-identifies as a detransitioned lesbian. E spent the evening with us playing board games, eating dinner, and then compassionately explaining in her 20s what she has been through and what she is still going through.

The next day, my daughter said she didn’t want T, wanted the blocker removed.

A year later, my Queer child is living with their natural biology, expressing themselves fluidly, and that’s the key: expression. Not changing the body at age 15.

I am so grateful for the digestible, well researched, and life changing education you’ve provided for us parents.

The timing of everything, the news stories, articles, studies, documentaries the WPATH files and I anticipate the final CASS review, has been fucking phenomenal. I imagine it has been so much effort behind the scenes in releasing everything to make the impact needed and I am grateful to everyone.

Thank you for seeing our struggling children and knowing they deserve better care than what they are being given.

Thank you. I found you in 2021 when my very adult male child told me to study, so I could understand that he is a lesbian, even though that thought had never occurred to me. Unfortunately, I he wasn't open to help from me. He was in the hands of medical professionals, including psychiatric doctors, therapists, and gender clinics. None of that stopped the prescription of estrogen. He left his body by choice last year. I heard you are atheist. I'm not. I've had some very powerful spiritual experiences shortly before he died and since.

Are there detransition networks that parents can reach out to for guidance on how to facilitate a detransition for their own child?

I am thinking about the approach from one of the psychologists on the report who had young adults interact with detransitioners and later they desisted from surgery.
