Thank you so much for helping girls accept their natural bodies. From a mom who lost her daughter to medicalization of her body, I'm heartbroken, but your work gives me hope for other daughters and families.

This was nice to read. I always feel like women who have had mastectomies from cancer will be mad at me.

I don't think breast cancer survivors are or would be ever mad at you. However, they have many objective reasons to be mad at doctors who lied to you and pushed you to irreversibly damage your healthy body at a time when you needed help to heal your wounded mind.

Thank you for this. My friend who has survived breast cancer is horrified that my daughter and so many other young women want to have their healthy breasts amputated.

Thank you for starting this group. As a breast cancer survivor, I am horrified by the increased cancer risks that the transgender movement has become to young women through the doping from testosterone, encouraging breast removal, hysterectomies, removal of ovaries, etc. And why do they do this? Because cancer is around the corner and eminent from testosterone abuse. Do these entities that dole out wrong sex hormones such as testosterone care that they cause cancer? Nope. They are making sure they have the pronouns correct, and benefit financially from abusing unsuspecting, confused young women with the cost of surgeries and life long medical patients they have gained. The problem is, at least for me, I am searching for a non woke place that is willing to take a stand. Pink Ribbon Good is the only place I can recommend. I won't waste my time on any others and so therefore, I don't get the support I would like to have. I am on my own. Any hint of pride parade support that target our young people, or HRC partnerships are no-go. These institutions have broken our trust. Should entities give out wrong sex hormones or blatantly omit the cancer risks or just tell the truth: No one can change sex with wrong sex hormones. End of story. Examples:

Thank you for starting this organization. At times, when morbid obesity is glorified as something beautiful to be proud off but struggles with puberty changes are considered to be a disease 'treatable' by irreversible surgeries and life-long dependency on hormonal medication, the work you do could be the last hope to parents to stop their daughters from making decisions they will regret later in their lives.

A brilliant idea, to put your terrible struggles down in writing. For now, our daughter seems content with testosterone, which is awful enough. But if she starts talking about surgery, I will remember your post, dig it up, and send it to her!
