When I was a kid my teenaged, next-door neighbor started getting visits from a really cute guy who paid a lot of attention to her. He was not much older. Her mom didn’t let the guy enter their apartment, so the two would talk by her door. Slowly she started mouthing things, almost by rote, that the guy had told her during their chats by the door.
Within a few months she ran away with him to join his “group”, Sun Myung Moon’s church.
Cults have been around for millennia (Christ?). Cult members spew words and phrases that have been inculcated by the group.
Back in the 70s there was a huge debate on tv, radio, magazines concerning “what are cults? How do they brain-wash our children? How do we “de-program” the loved one?”
I don’t see much difference between the “trans” thing and cults.
Except back then society and the media all pretty much agreed that cults were detrimental.
The brilliance in this current “trans cult” is that they captured the media, the medical field, legislators, and school teachers before their full frontal attack, by effectively piggy-backing onto “gay rights”. And they also have the hypnotizing power of TikTok/internet.
Moon became very wealthy.
“Trans” doctors are making millions. The industry is in the billions, and growing.
There are myriad ways to part the fool and the vulnerable from their money. As there are myriad ways to part families. Cults manage to do both, and we’ve never really figured out how.
I’m sure this trans thing will pass, just like the cult rage passed.
My neighbor eventually (after many years) left the cult and came back to her family. All her body parts intact — something our trans friends will not be able to say.
Thank you very much for this excerpt. It's a fascinating book. The ideology has gone far off the rails....
This week, The Washington Free Beacon published an article entitled, "It's Not Women That Produce Eggs…," a claim made by a high school biology teacher at an Education Department sponsored webinar. I wrote this reply, in which you might be interested:
I may have to buy this book! It is interesting and tragic how the claws of the trans cult pull families apart bcs of the definition of certain words like woman and gender identity. I have had almost the exact conversation with my 15 year old daughter. I don't have a gender identity either.
What a great way to give us the opportunity to connect with another truth-seeker! I remember six months ago I felt completely alone in questioning this ideology - it's comforting to see more and more people telling their stories and realize how far from true that is. Keep up the good work!

Oooh, now I need this book! I heard an interview with the author on a podcast recently too. What a story. Thanks for the excerpt!
