Gender Insanity and Parental Trauma | Miriam Grossman MD | EP 347

My child thought she was trans. I am afraid to speak about it. Our long term pediatrician told her we were why she was depressed. Her parents. Because we wouldn't accept her new identity. She referred her to a gender clinic. We could not find an appropriate therapist . We didn't go. We took some drastic measures. I was afraid the school or our pediatrician would report us to CPS for not affirming. 1.5 years later and she cringes to remember it. She is not trans. She is happy. We were completely alone and it was terrifying.

My child was outgoing, friendly, and laughed a lot. Over time, he changed. He got quit, withdrawn. I asked, and he didn't say a thing. It got so bad I sat him down and told him he could tell me anything. I won’t be mad. He said he was being told he was a girl, and they called him by a girls name. I went to the principals office, and she basically blew it off. I sued the principal, the teacher, and the school board. I sued separately on purpose. I won. It went all the way to the state Supreme Court, and my decision was upheld. I got three payments and my attorney fees and court costs. I also made sure therapy sessions were covered. It can be done. The teacher was fired. The principal was fired, and the woke members of the school board were replaced. My child is still in therapy, but he's doing better. I left a lot out and put a little bit of a story in so I don’t get sued, as the records are sealed. And juveniles names are redacted anyway for their privacy. But there was an agreement between the parties neither would talk about it. It is my opinion that people need to know it can be done.

As a breast cancer survivor, I can tell you losing your breast and having your body mutilated is truly a nightmare. I lost my breast at 32 and now almost 3 years later, I still suffer and cry. Knowing girls are cutting off healthy breast is truly tragic!

This is not a joke anymore! Thank you to all who stand and speak against this insanity!

As a teacher, I refuse to propagate this ideology and poison the minds of my students, even if it means that I have to find a new job!

My son is 33 and 2 years ago announced he was a woman. If not for the grace of God, I couldn’t breathe. Sometimes it’s hard to do anything, and all I can do is cry. He is so smart and talented, works hard, goes up church (trans affirming church)… he thinks I’m the enemy. Heart is broken.

What an amazing woman. Thank God we have people like her giving the parents a voice!

I'm a Gen Z-er, but I often feel like I relate more to the older generations. This gender insanity is greatly concerning me, and I worry about my peers. Thank you, Dr. Grossman, for the great service you are doing humanity.

I'm a 28 year old girl. So glad this stuff wasn't big 10 years ago when I was in school. I had a very very difficult childhood. I am also a textbook introvert. I've been weird and depressed my whole life. I mostly like boys stuff, mostly hang out with boys, work boy jobs. Girls barley even make sense to me, even though I am one. I accept myself as the weirdo that I am and my life is so good today because of that. I am in a very healthy and loving relationship with a man which I wouldn't give up for anything. I cannot even begin to imagine the damage this gender ideology cult could have done to me if I found it in high school. Thank you for speaking out so much about this.

As a person of gen z I am absolutely terrified of all future generations being fed these lies

Dr Grossman is so compassionate and heroic. I pray she continues with her work. I’ve not heard of any professional in this field who focuses on the parents - though I’m sure there are many. But her heart for the parents and others going through this trauma is profound and visible.

We lost our daughter to this evil trans movement. Her boyfriend for many years decided he was trans, so to fit his narrative she became a “gay female”. She just cut us off from her life. It has been like mourning a death. Thank you for championing the parents in this epidemic

My 14 yo daughter told me she was trans at the beginning of the school year and asked for binders and to call her another name. I told her no. I told her when she was 18 she could decide then. Here we are at the end of the school year and she's back to being a girl again. Go figure.

Miriam Grossman will be one of the people who go down in history for standing up against this. Brilliant woman.

I am crying just listening to this. Yes, this is grief for parents, aunts, uncles etc. Thank you for standing up for the demonized parents.

I recently started watching Jordan Peterson interviews, It makes me feel better that there still are people out there with a brain, there is some semblance of hope still to grab on to.

Detrans woman here. My heart breaks for the youth falling into this orchestrated deception. Many will grow out of their gender confusion. Even young adults in college are vulnerable to this ideology due to social contagion. We must do better to communicate concern in a direct yet lovingly way in order to prevent irreversible damage. 🙏🏻

My beautiful daughter transitioned. I'm so lost. Thank you for validating my trauma

As a family physician and mother of 6 children, brava to Dr Miriam!!

Thank you for your work in this area. I watched my happy, feminine 16 year old be groomed and confused by teachers at her high school, DERANGED social media personalities (I discovered this later) and a few friends and she is now lost LOST at 19 in the depths of the cult and barely has any contact with her parents, her siblings, her extended family...and she BELIEVES this is who she always was. The lies, the gaslighting, the extreme cult like behavior is shocking. Once I really realized what was happening when she was around 17 I did everything I could think of, but the ideology she was spoonfed was so deeply rooted that all of my attempts made it more likely she would never contact me again. I've had to step back and hope for the best. I hope everyone pushing this rots.
