ROGD Awareness Day

Genspect launched #ROGDAwarenessDay to highlight the day Lisa Littman's study on ROGD that was released on August 16th 2018. I speak with 3 parents and Saoirse Connolly from Genspect to discuss the upcoming event, which attempts to connect parents going through distressingly similar, wrenching experiences.

I am a lesbian in my late 20s. I shudder to think what would have happened to me if this ideology has infected my school back in my day. I was not bullied but I was a tomboy and have a sexual abuse background. I could see myself escaping into gender woo for psychological comfort. Particularly if it were so rewarded by my teachers and peers! It is frightening what’s happening.

Thank you to these fantastic women, thank you Graham for hosting them. Heartbreaking stories from brave women fighting for their own and all of our children.

[LaLeMay]

Great conversation. Thank you for all you do for this cause, Graham. You’re a true gentleman and a humble lovely chap!

[miguimau]

Thank you for your fight, Graham. <3

Thanks so much for doing this Graham. The ones who are the MOST to blame in all of this are the professionals--the doctors, the therapists, and the pharmaceutical companies.

Incredibly sad stories here but there seems to be light here, the level of awareness of this subject seems to be growing exponentially. lets keep listening and talking, what's hidden in the shadows can't bear the light.

Lynn is absolutely on point about the suicide narrative.

Graham Linehan you are a wonderful man. Thank you for all you do, you deserve more love and respect.

[littlemascara]

Well done, Graham. These women all have important stories to tell.

Thank you. As a grandmother to an 11 yr old autistic girl, I am so worried for her. Thankfully her mother is of the same mind and is on the look out for any issues. I wonder if some of those brave parents could make a list of red flags, anything they may have looked back on, thinking it was 'innocent' at the time but later wished they taken notice and action.

I'm still amazed that the BBC are ignoring to the extent that they are. Well done everyone who is speaking out. Please reach out if we can do more to help ⭐⭐⭐

[HellCatt]

Great stuff. So useful but I wish it had been twice as long!

[karinelaxa]

So sorry for your heartbreaking experiences. ❤️

Yesterday I looked at my Facebook stream and photos from old friends popped up. I knew their eighteen year old daughter had been refusing to speak in recent years and they had described her as an elective mute. To my horror the photos of their recent holiday show their daughter presenting as male and quite obviously wearing a binder. She appeared to have the look of someone taking testosterone. I can’t explain how upset those photographs made me, the girl looked totally disengaged from life, dead behind her eyes and completely morose. Dear god, what has happened in this world?

Yes! Boston Children's Hospital is leading the charge to do hysterectomies to little girls.

Last year, the CBC - Canadian Broadcasting Corp - aired a celebratory documentary about Vietnamese adopted twin girls, one of whom had been enthusiastically transitioned. It makes perfect sense. These girls come to understand that they were given up, by their parents, *because they are girls.*

James Dreyfus made an excellent comment about pronouns on the podcast he did with Brendan O’Neill.
He said if someone asks you for your pronouns, it isn’t a question, it’s a test’.

I completely agree with Lynn that it’s a ‘faith’, and as Helen Joyce once said ‘to question the faith and ask for evidence is heresy’.

[littlecatfeet]

These mothers are going through so much, especially Lynn. Like any cult, the TRAs groom vulnerable children and cut them off from their family. 💔

So like my son’s story. Yes we must not forget our kids who started it above the legal age.

[cleopatraoatcake]

That's terrible what happened to you, Saoirse! Wonderful show, wonderful guests! My heart goes out to these parents and to their children, victims of the trans ideology and the healthcare system both.
