That's all part of the cult programming. And you got to go through that, but you never give into it. You never, you never give into the lie that, that the fact that you've made your daughter and your child upset means that you don't love them or you're not loving them the right way. No, in this case, the fact that they're upset means that you are loving them.

It means that this is exactly how you should be responding. And, um, On a more practical level, by the way, if your child is actually struggling with this, again, they're going to hate you for this, and that's fine. But you've got to look at what their influences are.

And most likely, if you've got a 13-year-old daughter or son who's experimenting now with this idea that he's trapped in the wrong body, almost certainly he's got the smartphone and he's on social media. Take the phone away, okay? It's not just, oh, we're going to limit the amount of time you spend on it. Take it away. I got six kids. None of my kids have this technology. We have one.

My wife and I have phones. We have one other screen in the house. It is our family TV that's in a public area in the house. There's no doors. We don't have any screens for kids in a room where a door can be shut. We don't have that. So you can watch TV. We're going to know exactly what you're watching. And it's going to be in a place where we can hear it anywhere in the house where we go.

So you can't even change the channel and try to sneak something past us. And certainly we are not giving them unfettered access to the internet. And so take that away from your child, look at who their friend groups are, and, and hopefully that will be enough. And then you might have to resort to even extreme measures or measures that might seem extreme.

If they're in public school, you might have to think about, do we have to pull them out of school? Do we have to homeschool? It sounds crazy and unworkable. It's not, I do it. You can do it. Um, You're just doing anything that is necessary to protect them from this madness.

One thing, and Dr. Miriam Grossman is, is, uh, absolutely fantastic. And she, she's also in, in our film, what is a woman, uh, One thing I would add to that is before you also think about before you get to that point where your daughter comes to you at the age of 13 and says, I think I'm a boy. How do we avoid getting to that point? Because there's the question of what do you do when that happens?

And Miriam Grossman has a great lot of great advice on that. How do you how do we stop that from happening if we can? And and we've already gone over some of it. Some of it is is pretty simple, though difficult. taking away the phones, taking away these influences, but at kind of a deeper level. And you won't be able to do this perfectly, but you want your children to stay attached to you.

And I know we use that word attached, and it sounds like I'm saying you want to be a helicopter parent. You don't want your kids to be able to, you know, function in the world. That's not what I'm saying. You want to keep that attachment, that bond with your child, so that they're orienting themselves to, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
