Parent of ‘Transgender’ Teen Warns: ‘We Have to Fight This Radical Movement’

Cont. from previous page

All of Danielle’s desires to be identified as transgender came back full force once she left for college and found a warm welcoming community in the Campuses LGBTQ center.

Danielle earned a partial scholarship at the University of Alabama and also qualified for honors classes, her mother reports. Her parents discovered Danielle had made arrangements on her own with the school’s housing department to room with another transgender student. By that time, Sisson says Danielle was wearing boy’s clothing, had shaved her hair very short, and had begun to wear a binder to flatten her breasts.

Even more disturbing was the fact Mrs. Sission discovered Danielle had been using online self-tests to gauge if she wanted to transition or not.

“I found out she had spent a lot of time online in her bedroom, researching different websites that offered self-tests to determine if she was transgender,” the mother explains.

Everything else about her changed too as she started to become more and more like the other students she was hanging out with. Which is not unheard of in regards to the topic of easily impressionable teenage girls across all gender spectrums.

Sisson says Danielle’s decision to completely take on a boy’s appearance came upon the family rather suddenly.

“She lost a lot of weight, changed her diet – she became vegan like one of the girls during her senior year of high school who was also anorexic,” the mother says. “It completely changed her personality, her relationship with her dad and I, and her brothers.”

Her new social circle, however, took things to a whole new level of “conformity”.

“We later found out Danielle was spending a lot of time in the school’s ‘safe space’ for students who identify with the LGBT community,” she continues. “I found out she had joined a fraternity for transgender and gay men. So, she had completely immersed herself in this transgender world.”

But they were concerned as Danielle didn’t seem to be happy despite going to such drastic measures to change herself and fit in with her chosen peers.

When Danielle arrived home for a break in the fall, Sisson says her daughter seemed unhappy. The parents discussed with her their concern that she was moving too quickly on this transgender path. Danielle, however, was apparently unhappy being at home, spent no time with her brothers, and refused to speak with her parents about their concerns.

While visiting Long Island relatives for Thanksgiving, Sisson says Danielle would not discuss her situation with her parents, who ultimately told her they would not continue to pay her tuition if she would not speak with them about their concerns.

Because they saw their daughter was unhappy but wouldn’t discuss her situation with them, Mr. and Mrs. Sisson decided to cut off financial support until she decided to start meeting them half-way.

However, this was all Danielle needed to become an instant “hero-victim” among the social justice warrior crowds.

Meanwhile, Danielle had been garnering support for herself and had connected again with a former middle school friend. Her friend’s mother – a social worker from New York – attempted to get support for Danielle by posting on the website College Confidential that Danielle’s parents had “abandoned” her.

“[T]hey are cutting him [sic] off financially and will no longer pay his college tuition or have him on their health insurance or support him in any way,” the parent wrote, asking for help for Danielle.

Sisson said she and her husband were subsequently labeled as “awful parents” who are “transphobic” and “homophobic” on various websites as Danielle’s story spread. The public rush to affirm Danielle’s decision to become a boy had driven a further wedge between her and her parents.

The far-left crowds couldn’t bend backward fast enough to help rescue Daniele from her “evil” parents.

Eventually, Danielle set up a GoFundMe campaign, raising over $10,000 in only eight hours. Her friends from middle and high school and college contributed to her fund, as did friends of her brother. She also reportedly received a $5,000 anonymous donation. Though her campaign is currently closed, Danielle ultimately raised $13,210 for her tuition and medical “transition” expenses.

Earlier in December, an article at the Crimson White – the University of Alabama’s news publication –observed Danielle had achieved “overnight online fame and support after starting a GoFundMe to raise tuition funds after losing the financial support of his parents.”

“I definitely want to devote a lot of time to helping other people who are in the position that I’m in,” Danielle said, according to the school news report. “After getting all of this really overwhelming support, it matters so much to me to give back to others and pay it forward.”

Today the Sissons share through many tears that their experience has helped them connect with many other concerned parents suffering the same problem.

“There are so many parents like me – the same identical story,” Sisson says, noting the website 4thWaveNow and other online support groups for parents whose children decide they are transgender and then move quickly into hormone treatments and even surgeries.

“It’s very easy for these kids to get the hormones and start taking testosterone,” she says, noting that Planned Parenthood now administers the hormones.

“I feel like it’s the parents against the world,” the mother continues. “The therapists, the doctors, the schools – everyone is pushing this very liberal agenda and this transgender movement, and it’s harming our children.”

“Danielle is going to end up mutilating her body,” she laments. “She wants to have a mastectomy. She wants to have a hysterectomy.”

Considerable evidence is mounting that support for “gender transitions,” is imposing substantial medical and developmental risks on children.

When will it end?
