I so appreciate your post and am in awe of your ability to step back from your son's decision to pursue medical transition. Which led me to this question... what are the irreversible effects of hormonal transition on men who choose this path? I certainly had major concerns with our daughter who was older than your son but we told her... while we do not support your decision to medicalize you are an adult.... get your own insurance and make your own healthcare decisions. I would love to know if that factors into how some people respond to their over 18 year old children going down this path. If I knew my daughter could revert back to her own voice, not be bald, not have facial and body hair if she wanted to at some point, maintain her fertility... would I feel less panicked? Certainly it is the irreversible nature of the treatments that make them so weighted. Thank you for sharing....

I strongly believe that college/university is certainly not a necessity but something that has been pushed for quite some time for nefarious reasons (one being the love of money). I also strongly believe that very soon the whole atmosphere will change. The focus will turn more towards trade schools and apprenticeships. I think we are going to see a massive change in many aspects of our lives moving forward. When exactly we will see that change, I'm not sure, but I believe it will be a sudden awakening of many things that have led us all to where we are today. Better days (MUCH better!) are on the horizon! My son is almost 27 and still in our basement working only on TikTok, YouTube, and X (so far with no income) ...but God has big plans for him as well as the rest of our children! As someone I follow on social media has said "Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.". I believe the end is near!
