My son was always very much a boy in his daily life and interests. He went to W&L for college. My husband and I were hoping for a psychologically healthy, happy school environment for him as he continued to grow up at college. Unfortunately, he was influenced by the LGBTQ community there. Some of these students would come to our home for Thanksgiving and I was unaware of the impact this would have on our son and family. I did not realize this until my son finished his college years at W&L and was living at home. He had changed. Sadly, he left our home to become a transgender ‘girl’ while in therapy with an affirmation therapist. He refused to listen to us as we told him that he was making a huge mistake. He has left our family. We are devastated. We are hoping and praying that he will grow up soon and realize that he has made a terrible, detrimental mistake, but we also know that this may never happen because of the overbearing control and influence that the trans community holds as a cult over its victims. ~ Parent
