Don't fail to note that our brave whistleblower remains firmly in the cult; she calls herself a queer woman married to a trans man.

No, she's a lesbian married to a lesbian simulating a man, and she's just gotten a little squeamish about the kids now. But she's demonstrating to the kids she herself gave birth to, and to the three she hopes to adopt, that it's possible to *be* trans; after all, Daddy is, right?

And do please further note that she stayed a Good German for a good long time; as she says, her employer provides tuition assistance for the kids of employers and she didn't want to risk those benefits by speaking out earlier. After all, she tried, right? She kept communicating her unease, right? Until the smoke from the ovens began burning her throat?

Sorry. Mental illness is a dreadful thing; for those suffering from intractable forms, their lives are crippled; for those managed on medication, there are still many challenges in trying to get through life.

But there's quite the trend now of suggesting that there are "good" trans people who only want adults to have the right to mutilate themselves, and the "bad" trans people who want to start early on manufacturing little synthetic children to stock the cult with.

It's not a political fight, though too many make it so; any person identifying as trans has very serious emotional problems, at the least, and they aren't good resources for anyone trying to make sense of this phenomenon.

And the desisters' and detransitioners' publicity tours are equally troubling. These people remain in a highly emotionally toxic world; they've just changed horses, and if they have the history of trauma and mental health struggles they claim, they too are not perhaps the best source of advice here. They're still trying to get validation from others.

Sure, it's a horror for everyone touched by it, which is everyone, in one way or another, but we all need to be as clear-eyed as possible and give no collaborator or facilitator any intellectual quarter.

Erika, thank you for being brave and standing against this horrific injustice. This was an important piece you put together, bringing us both your words and the words of others who have significant things to say on the issue of the dangers of radical gender ideology.

Erika, well done with “We were wrong”. Once again we put our faith in a Government I once respected. I’m afraid this is just another example of losing the freedoms we once took for granted.

Another story of regret - question is, will those who need to see these stories, actually see them? These poor kids are suffering at the hands of mentally ill adults. https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-feel-like-i-am-leaving-a-cult-mother-regrets-transitioning-her-4-year-old-son
