12-Year-Old Secretly "Transitioned" by Her Florida School Attempts Suicide

Today, I’m reacting to a video posted by Christopher Rufo of a Florida father named Wendell Perez, sharing how his 12-year-old daughter was "transitioned" at her public school without his knowledge. He claims she was "affirmed" with a male name and pronouns, and alleges that the school’s actions behind his back contributed to his daughter's attempted suicide in a school bathroom.

That is horrible when they teach them not to trust their family In this case she apparently didn't think she could because someone else was teaching her she had to avoid talking with them. How is that going to help a suicidal girl? I understand when people file suit for a lot of money it is in an effort to teach them that they cannot go on as is and hurt the next person. It is a way to stop them doing wrong. Hope he wins big and that is daughter is better.

You can essentially guarantee that her "gender confusion" was not an organically occurring issue, but the result of indoctrination by a woke teacher. They convinced her she was suffering from "gender dysphoria", coerced her into "transitioning" and now act surprised when she attempted to take her own life. The school should be held accountable.

This reminds me of something that happened to a friend back in the 70's. He had started to only use black crayons when he drew pictures. The school called his parents in & told them that they wanted him to go on antidepressants & to maybe even be put into long term care. His dad asked if anyone had asked him why he only used black. They hadn't because they didn't think it was important. Trust us they said, we're the professionals here! Well, dad insisted that they ask the kid so they brought him to the meeting. The dad told him he wasn't in any trouble, they just had a question. The reason he only used black crayons to draw was.....(drum roll please!), the kid who sat next to him had eaten all his other crayons & he knew that they family couldn't afford new ones so he used what he had left. His dad smiled & asked him why the other kid hadn't eaten the black crayon too. Well, the weird kid had told him that black crayons tasted like licorice & he didn't like licorice! But if my friend's parents had just done what the school wanted without checking, think of the harm that could have been done. BTW- guess what happened to the crayon eater? Nothing! Because the school said that kids eating crayons is normal.

[@connierodriguez5361]

If only we can see their reactions. What came of it? Also, it's strange that they would find it unusual that a child would only pick one color crayon. I'm an art teacher and there are dozens of reasons why a child would only use one color again and again.

@@connierodriguez5361 The dad made the 'adults' apologize to the son because they hadn't bothered to talk to him.

Sometimes, just asking the right questions can solve a problem so much easier & quicker. Thanks for being an art teacher! I loved all of mine & still think o them all these years later.

[@cecilmckeithan5088]

My oldest son just recently gave us our first grandchild and I remember his first year in school we got a call from his teacher saying she thought he had ADD. I asked why she said he wouldn’t listen and wasn’t paying attention in class. I told her to give me two weeks and we would talk again. The teacher would give what they called sticks and if you got so many sticks (marks) meant you didn’t do well that day. Everyday I would ask how many sticks did you get. He would tell me and I would spank him for it. And explain why. After two weeks the teacher agreed he was fine. It was the first time he was in that setting and didn’t know how to act. Now how many parents just agree and put their children on these drugs instead of just correcting the problem.

Tell your sister pronouns are reference words, for communicating, they apply to things not just people, and the only pronoun anyone is allowed to demand people use for them is their name. The pronoun that refers to each individual is their name. They/them are words that reference any person, they're for everyone, he/her are words that reference what your reproductive biology does, and zim zer don't mean anything to anyone so these people aren't really pro's at nouns. This/that/it are also pronouns. Feel free to call them "that/it" when they demand you speak their gibberish. And Don't worry about em, they're just dumb people who think they're special coz they're following a trend.

I pulled my 10 year old daughter out of public school last year. Within the first 2 months of school starting, she was saying she was nonbinary because her friend at school is nonbinary, and she had been stating she was practicing tying a noose. She's 10! I went to the school the very next day and pulled her into online school. When I was her age, I played with dinosaurs and ninja turtles, hated wearing dresses, was never a girlie-girl. I can't imagine the nonsense they would've filled my head with at that age. I've told her time and time again, "I dont care what you like or who you love, that is a personal decision. But you are who you are and that will never change". And he just said it right there! "We brought her home, gave her unconditional love, and brought her back from her confusion". Powerful. I did the same with my daughter, after just a couple of weeks of having her at home and me love-bombing the crap outta her, she no longer thinks she's 2 genders. I know we all remember the "its not a phase mom" stage of our lives, this is the phase for the younger generation.

That is why the law was passed in Florida to keep something like this from happening. What they did was against that new law by not telling the parents about her mental health.

[@AcousticGString]

Unfortunately I think the 12 year old didn't fall into the covenants of that bill. It was for grades kindergarten to 3rd or 4th grade but with her being 12 she was in 6th/7th grade. The bill should have covered all grades and the only talk of sexuality should be reproductive health by the book, thats it. The weirdos will always find a way to get around something to infect small children who have maliable mind's.

[@BeccainHawaii]

@@AcousticGString no the bill had specific things for grades k -3rd about sex education, but then included all grades beyond that. Teachers and counselors must tell parents when students tell them about health issues, whether mental or physical.

[@michaelmurphy2112]

@@AcousticGString There are couple provisions in the bill. The main, and relevant, part is parents are to be informed of and involved in any treatment of their children.

I don't get this whole "talk about my personal life to my student's" thing that teacher's have been doing for quite awhile now, it's completely insane. I remember gay teacher's that never once mentioned their personal lives, they were coaxed repeatedly but never spoke about it once. Now, these wacko teacher's can't wait to get into the classroom to tell every personal detail about their lives to young kid's....it's probably because things shifted in the late 80s/early 90s where it was all about "expressing your feelings" so people now think everyone cares what they have to say and nothing is personal anymore. Giving out participation trophys was the beginning of the end, it actually hurt more than it helped.

I was a very masculine girl and known as a tomboy. I was even mistaken as a boy in high school a few times. I have a feeling if I had grown up now I would have been convinced that I was trans. I had a very bad experience in my younger life and dealt with ED and extreme depression. I’m just grateful that my family was on top of things and my father more than once went to school to speak on my behalf. If I never made it past my teen years I wouldn’t have a wonderful son and grandson now. My son went to public school in the 2000’s when they first started not telling parents when things were happening at school. Again thankfully my son knew he could come to us with issues and I ended up removing him from the toxic environment in his junior year. Even with that he has had issues throughout his life. Now he is keeping a close eye on his six year old son and letting him know to always come to him and his mother and not keep secrets at school. I can only hope that the openness they have now remains through his life.

[@Noname-wi8xp]

That’s one of the biggest reasons I think the kids need to grow up before they’re allowed to do these things. You emotionally mature so much during biological puberty & need to go through those awkward moments when you’re struggling to fit in and learn your place in the world. You need to grow up into a mature biological body before you decide it’s not for you. In some cases when transsexuals do not go through enough of a biological puberty, they don’t have enough development to sustain a medical transition. It’s definitely a cruel irony. You will be a much healthier adult, even if you decide to medically transition as an adult, if you’re able to face the reality of your biology rather than run away from it emotionally. I was blown away when I saw members of the medically transitioning transexual community advocating for patients to not disclose their biological sex to their medical team and arguing that there was no difference between a transsexual man and a biological man when it comes to things like blood work. I’m sure plenty of people disagree with my conclusions. Edit: Wanting what you don’t have, especially you’re growing up & being envious of it is very much something kids learn to cope with in a real way during puberty. I worry for kids going through this because they’re missing out on something fundamental to their emotional and physical development.

Now as an adult I realize what I really wanted was to escape, to something else that wasn’t me. Imagine if they’d had the technology then to “affirm” me without talking to my parents. To tell me “Yes this being that you are IS disgusting, but that’s ok we can turn you into a beautiful mermaid, away from your crazy family.” Whatever happened to “You wonderful as you are!”?

I saw an interview where a teacher was told she had to keep silent if her student confided in her she was nonbinary, trans or whichever other thing it was. The teacher was not supposed to tell the parents, and she was in trouble with the school for doing so. Many people in the comment section don't understand that in many states IT'S THE LAW, that schools have to teach this. It's K - 12 in my state (believe me, I voted to get this law reversed). A kid can't just be a kid, anymore. They have to be indoctrinated with this "Which gender are you?" and worse garbage. If I had children, they WOULD NOT be going to public school. Now they are trying to sign into law this bill that says if the parents won't accept that their child is trans, the school can allow other agencies (without the parents knowledge) to help the child get puberty blockers and the reassignment surgeries. This is absolutely reprehensible. First, through the school curriculum they try to convince them they ARE trans, then they work to get them the "treatments" that reinforce it -- ALL without the parents knowing.

and it’s so sad that people won’t see it that was but she was clearly being pressured at school to “fit in” with being trendgender. it only makes sense why she wouldn’t tell her family who supported her through and through, you’d think if she really felt this way she would open up to them about it considering how loving and accepting they are. she didn’t have a voice, she didn’t have her own opinion, she’s only 12 years old. the fact they went behind the parents back speaks volumes; the school knew what they were doing was wrong… another child failed by the system.

[@lucifernazaedi]

I really hate it when people use that excuse, especially as someone who grew up in a very unstable home. A lot of times kids and teens just won’t talk to parents about how they feel for a lot of reasons even if their parents love and care for them deeply (such as they feel embarrassed by their feelings, they don’t want to burden their loved ones, someone told them not to, etc). There isn’t a person out there who has told their parents everything or felt comfortable telling their parents everything. Not one.

[@v25467]

​@@lucifernazaediyou are absolutely right, all kids keep things from their parents. However, I think there's some key behavioral indicators here that show that the child did have a healthy relationship with her parents & that this was something she was feeling pressured into by the school environment. Besides the obvious Freudian undertones of committing the act on school property, there's the fact that she was removed from hospital care and put full time into the parents home. (Obviously removed from school at this time as well.) It was only under their constant 24/7 care that she began to not only mentally stabilize, but thrive. If an inability to trust in the parents had been the issue in the first place, she never would have been able to recover under their care. As the father told it he was basically de-programing her, and you can't be de-programmed by someone you don't trust. So I think it's a logical conclusion to come to that if being trans was something she'd come to organically & felt on a soul level, she'd have eventually started to express this to her parents in some way, even if it's just dropping small hints & testing the water since she was already choosing to socially transition at school, especially since we know she has a healthy & loving relationship with the parents. After all, most parents when their kids comes out to them say that they aren't totally surprised & had picked up on clues here & there. Again, the father said she expressed zero signs in her home life, ever. The other half of it is the social pressure. I've been watching a bunch of testimonials from moms whose kids were pressured to socially transition elementary or middle school age and how they got them out of it. They all have a similar story pattern which matches this case too. Which basically is, for whatever reason the kid gets identified as trans, the school goes over the top in affirming, the kid realizes they've made a mistake, the kid doesn't know how to unwind it because all these adults are so goddamn enthusiastically affirming them and now they feel trapped and like they have to keep being the opposite gender even if they don't want to be bc the adults are constantly making it a point to single them out & smile & call them by their new name & make sure they know that they're welcome here & look they've already brought you a new boys uniform to wear free of charge & they've cordoned off an old room for you to change in every morning & they've already held a school meeting to remind all students about the anti-bullying policy & all these adults have gone to so much time & effort just for you so how can you tell them that you've changed your mind? & They seem so certain that you're a boy so maybe they're right? They are adults after all. &The entire school knows you've been a boy for six months so if you decide to be a girl again then what? Are you going to be bullied even worse? Will the school be mad that you're not a boy anymore & that you wasted everyone's time & call you a liar & expel you? I mean it sounds ridiculous to adults but to 12yrs old they don't have enough sense of identity/confidence to be like, please stop affirming me, this was a mistake. And then that's where the depression and confusion part really starts hitting. When they realize they've made a mistake, they've been socially affirmed by the school in a big way, & now they don't know how to get out of it, feel like it's such a confused mess that it's absolutely impossible to ever sort out. For every single one of them, when the parents pulled them out to the school & the previous social groups (lots also cut the kids off of social media if they were previously on them) and then placed them in a new school when they were ready, it was like flipping a switch. That was all they needed. They immediately went back to living as their bio gender at home and socially at the new school & the severe depression & anxiety basically vanished over night. They just needed that clean slate. & For those parents too, they had absolutely no idea that their child had been socially transitioned at school as there was zero sign of it at home & now years later in their late teens they're very secure in their bio gender. Unfortunately there really does seem to be a pattern developing of schools inappropriately transitioning elementary/middle school students, and then these students developing incredibly severe depression and anxiety when they want to transition back but don't have the tools to do so. Then add in the fact that this entire time the school has been actively teaching every single day that they SHOULDN'T be telling any of this to their parents, that it's probably dangerous & they wouldn't understand. Plus the fact that they're now also really really really embarrassed that they've been living as a boy for months when duh, they're obviously a girl & they realize that now, &they feel so dumb for having gotten something so basic & obvious about themselves wrong...how do you even start to explain that to a parent when you don't really even understand it yourself bc you're 12? All that just to say, normally, yes, I'd be right with you in saying that it'd be insane to blanket statement say that if she'd truly been trans she'd have told her dad that she was socially transitioning & that she didn't just supports the fact that all of this came about bc of the school's influence. Bc kids do keep things from their parents right? But the fact that she actually recovered & thrived under his care & went back to her bio gender, which cured her depression, and that the case as a whole is just so similar to other families experiences...I'm starting to think these cases are the one and only time where you can go into it assuming that actually usually the child would be confiding in the adult & the adult would normally be a stabilizing & positive force in their life. Which goes against the grain, I know. But over & over & over I keep hearing moms talk about how their kid was being taught at school that some parents might murder their children if they find out that they're trans so we need to protect you from them, they're dangerous, they're dangerous, they can't be trusted. They don't need to be told, it's not safe to tell them, only people associated with the school are safe to know that you're trans. If you start mentally or emotionally struggling you just come to the school counselor for help instead of your parents since they can't know about your "true self" and we'll take care of you, we can even give you antidepressants without your parents knowing & it's totally legal, you don't even need them. There's this wedge being driven between the parents & child that the school has created, intentionally or not, & by the very nature of what she needs their help with, wanting to socially detransition, being confused, just drives that wedge further in, muzzles her, but clearly she can't ask the school for help either bc they are only interested in affirming her as a boy... I can't imagine being 12 & having all that love bombing & progressive energy dumped on you, being the intense focus of all these passionate/political adults & knowing you've made a terrible mistake & trying to figure out how to go back to a normal life. The pressure from just that alone must have felt massive. I don't even want to imagine how the students were treating her too... Her dad seems really dedicated and thank God she's doing so much better now, but that whole family is scarred for life, no doubt. Makes you wonder how many vulnerable young women we're going to see destroyed by this ideology before the madness stops. My heart breaks every time I see a new story of a woman who has de-transitioned & is sobbing bc she'll never be able to breast feed, or hear about another athlete that's dropped the sport bc they're so discouraged competing against bio men, or listen to someone speak on how they only socially transitioned but it was bc they had been abused as a child and hated their body. And how as an adult they are filled with so much bitterness and regret and pain that people just affirmed their delusion instead of helping them heal from their real root trauma & that no one told them it was ok to just be a tomboyish girl, but instead let her hate her body for the past 9 years. Why did the people who were supposed to love her let her hate herself so intensely every single day and say nothing? Why did they all pretend that her becoming a boy would fix her PTSD and let her believe that too? & She's coming out of social transition as an adult & she's in pieces over it. Now we've kids social transitioning, the large majority of them autistic & female mind you, & we know there's a 90% they'll grow out of it, & we're not even going to give them a domestic support structure to help them navigate back from that? I swear, everything these days feels like one big social experiment, just chaos. Everyone's just plowing ahead at full speed with zero guard rails or seatbelts and no body seems to really give a fuck since so far it's heavily disproportionately affecting females in negative ways, not men.

Mind you they kept these parameters as broad as possible to trap as many as possible within their (GSA) logic and assumptions. There was public outcry but they did not even receive a slap on the wrist. Several months later the same group used school funds to hire "Professional Drag Queens" to perform at the school. Again public outcry but no punishment. The school even went on to validate future actions were allowable as a recognized school program with Title IX protections.

Basically what I'm saying is that there is a high chance the child I'm talking about sees it as some sort of lifestyle or trend. It shouldn't be kept from the parents, but if there REALLY is a situation with this girls parents I feel like she should've sent that information via email instead of share it with the whole class. I have had some pretty rough days as a kid. I never was open about it in the classroom. I was never proud of it or owning it. I told one friend about it who soon eventually told the guidance counselor and the things at home stopped. I feel like most trans people who have had experience with gender dysphoria will most probably never feel comfortable when it comes to being open about a very personal, and crippling mental disorder. (Anyways sorry for the lengthy paragraph, but yeah i agree with you half and half.)

Sue the school district collectively, and board members individually. And didn’t FL pass a law prohibiting this ? This is criminal !

[@erinjenkins4738]

How is this legal!?!? I would lose my sh*t on this! My Lord how is this even happening right now?!? Parents we have to stand up for our kids because no one else will!

[@catbriggs8362]

The father--and all parents like him--should absolutely file a lawsuit against the school, the school district, the school administration and the child's teachers. By name.

[@matthewblumenthal804]

My suspicion is that the school actually pushed and abetted the mental issues. I hope he sues them successfully for enough to create second thoughts on the parts of politically motivated "educators". I hit the save button as you said the same thing. No. There is not enough money to make it better. Forget being vengeful. This has to be an example.

[@shannonmoon6016]

Story related to this topic; I have depression, anxiety, ocd, PTSD, body dysmorphia and ADHD. When I was young and dealing with being traumatized (before being diagnosed with anything) I wanted to transition. I was a child struggling with body dysmorphia/gender dysmorphia and this lasted from around 10 years old until I was about 24-25 years old. (When I was going through puberty and my body was changing, look at that) But I didn't know that until I was about 16. 16 is when I started talking to a professional who diagnosed me with body dysmorphia and other issues I was dealing with. I would dress and act like a boy, tape down my breasts and went by a different name and that morphed into a gender fluid type of identification as I got closer to 19. Now I'm older, 27 about to be 28, still healing/having struggles now and then from mental illness. (Keep in mind I don't like prescription drugs so my healing journey is a natural one) I still struggle with dysmorphia but in lower amounts and I understand to some level it's happening because it normally also comes with a wave of depression or if my trauma response is triggered. It now comes in waves every few months and I do a body positivity and affirmation in the mirror when that happens (training my brain out of those feelings). I rarely struggle with gender dysmorphia now and I am beyond happy and relieved I didn't transition when I was younger or messed with my hormones more than they already were. I understand the uncomfortableness, wanting to literally rip your skin off and have your body match how you feel. I understand feeling like your just wrong unless you alter your body. I understand the need to transition for some people and if you're an adult whose talked to a professional and started a healing journey and really looked into and thought about what you're doing that's great, do it, live your best life. I don't think children should be exposed to more confusion in a confusing time in development/their life. Seriously kids don't know better, their hormones are everywhere. Our brains don't stop developing until in our twenties. I feel like I still don't know better most of the time but I know more now than when I was 16 wanting to medically alter my body. It would have been a mistake and I'm glad I had the guidance I did. I love my body now, I love being a woman. I still have a masculine energy sometimes (as we all do) but it doesn't make me want to crawl out of my skin anymore. Now I've accepted that I am who I am and I can dress however I want, do my hair whatever I want and i don't care how people see me. I'm exactly the way I was meant to be and I'm beautiful the way I am. That makes me comfortable existing as I am. If the schools want to talk about gender in school keep it to health class biology in middle or high school and talk about mental health accepting yourself the way you are. Affirmations. Meditation. Positive self talk. Leave the identification, sexual conversations to the parents/guardians where they need to be. It makes me so mad the school knew and didn't tell the parents

[@wisteria3032]

It makes me so happy to read this. I never suffered to the extent you describe but I too would have loved to be a boy. I remember being 17 and there was a case on tv where they put a child on hormone blockers because he was unsure of his gender so they just blocked it untill he made up his mind. I was eating with my parents and I remember telling my dad that was disgusting. How are you supposed to make up your mind if you don't know what anything is like? I am a woman and happy to be one but if I had the chance to stop everything at 13 I would have done so. Not because I don't like what I am but because I didn't know what I wanted to be at that time. Now if growing up Inhad found out being a woman didn't suit me I would have changed. But how can I decide if I like or dislike something when I haven't experienced it? We keep telling children taste it before you decide you don't like it with one out of thousands of foods. But with such a life altering decision it's you never tried anything but decide now. I am happy you are feeling better now and that you waited. I hope the bouts of depression will go away. Keep doing the body positivity - the happier you are in your body the happier I will be for you.

[@annetteb.9031]

I am glad you are feeling better. I have to take medication all my life to prevent seizures so if you have a chemical imbalance of some sort that you need to take medication for depression I recommend it. Don't feel bad to do so. I would be having seizures if I didn't take medication.

[@Charlene-1988]

I'm 34 and It might not have been a thing back when I was at school (trans) but there were teachers who discreetly went about confusing children about their gender, I was one of those children as I've said in a previous video. I was around 9 yrs old and came home from school confused, anxious and deeply unsettled about whether I was a girl or not. Thankfully my mother reassured me and after a conversation where my mother explained why I was a girl I felt secure and happy and I had no further insecurities. I do wonder even to this day which teacher it was who put this into my mind because it definitely does NOT come out of nowhere!

I'm 57 and my first grade teacher tried to confuse my gender. She arranged everything as boys in one group and girls in another, or line up boy, girl, boy, girl. She said I was a boy and made me go in the boy group or take the boy spot in boy, girl,boy,girl line ups. This was the entire school year when I was six, in the 1972/73 school year. I am and have always been female.

I am so glad my offspring are now adults and avoided the nightmare taking place in schools today. Are those responsible for the girl's "transitioning" still at her school? What steps have the school taken to put a stop to the brainwashing indoctrination forced upon the girl? The way the father explained what has happened to his daughter was one of the most impactful and straight to the point I have ever seen. I wish the girl, the father and her family well and that she can find peace with herself and be able to enjoy being in school and just being herself.
