This is a tragedy and I'm sorry to hear about your adult child. You are correct that all of the major institutions have been promoting this ideology, despite the mounting evidence that is it based on a false metaphysics, science, and medical practice. The good news is that public opinion is shifting, due to the work of many journalists, doctors, and activists who are exposing the transgender movement for what it is: a nihilistic cult that engages in child sacrifice as an expression of moral purification. The bad news is that this is likely cold comfort for those who have children currently struggling with this ideology. My recommendation cannot be universal—each particular family must approach it with a sense of prudence, based on particular experience—but my general sense is that you must love your child unconditionally, try to maintain a connection as much as possible, and be patient, steady, and faithful. Remember the story of the prodigal son.

One of the best things I have seen you write. You are, after all, a father.

The Transgender cult as "a nihilistic cult that engages in child sacrifice as an expression of moral purification" is strong and points to what we know of human history/anthropology. It goes straight to the regressive nature of neo-gnosticism - in this case a recurrence of child-sacrifice - as if Judaism had never happened! We see the same with race ideology.

Have you written on this specific element, or can you point to anyone who discusses this cultic recurrence? This strikes me as a vital insight.
