Identity Crisis: How Gender Ideology Took Away a Mother From Her Daughter for Three Years 

I can’t stand hearing the word ”safe” from this ideology.

They will leave children in the custody of mothers who are drug addicts and give their child to men for drugs, but omg don’t “misgender” a kid. If this mom sees this, I am so sorry. The pain of this grief is real. I hope she finds her way back to you.

💔😱I’m blown away by this and the other stories I’ve heard. The govt is enabling insanity.

I was brainwashed against my mother by my father but in the end, I worked it out. Don’t give up. It’s parental alienation.

I am a 58 year old woman who was recently diagnosed with autism. As a child, I was 100% a tomboy. I am pretty sure if I was a kid today, there's a very good chance this could have happened to me. If you asked me if I wanted to be a boy, I would have said YES! YES! YES! I went through that phase of hating my body as well. You get older, your body grows, your hormones do their job and you learn to accept yourself. I have been married for 35 years and have 4 kids. I don't understand why the first course of treatment is to PERMANENTLY change/disfigure a CHILD'S body!!!! I am honestly shocked at how many of these stories are out there. I still am a tomboy, but I am a woman - 100% and being a mom is one of the most amazing and wonderful things.

This Mum can't see her own daughter, yet groomers are on tik tok every single day encouraging this madness. Stay strong Mama, with love from the U.K.. xxx

My heart breaks for this woman. One day, your daughter will look back and understand everything. Please be strong and patient and coninue to do your great work

The analogy of her daughter being lost at sea and the mother being a stable lighthouse was so moving. May the father get what he deserves.

This mom speaks more truth in one video than I've heard in ages! Absolutely heart breaking. I'm praying Sophia comes back sooner than later

As a tomboy herself it seems like the mother would have been in the best position to help her daughter navigate any identity issues

I wish more people could see this. Kids don't deserve this. Parents should protect them from political ideology! Thank you for standing by your daughter!

How did gender ideology become state policy?

It's amazing how a horrible divorce can really pit parents against one another-and having a child as transgender, and using their supposed identity to hurt the other parent and to make them lose all custody rights is just plain wrong. The Father and Step Mother in this case qualify for the worst parents of the year.

Wow it is mind boggling that such an intelligent, rational, well spoken mom could end up in such a terrible situation.

This is so crazy. Drug addicts have more rights to their kids. So strange because the mom seems to be nonconforming in some ways. Perhaps just a strong woman. A daughter needs her mom, no matter what.

This is heartbreaking and terrifying. This mum seems like such a good mum, the words she says and how she describes her actions as a parent. Things like “sit w her during her discomfort” and “my daughter is on a boat at sea in peril, struggling….I’m not supposed to follow her lead, to hitch my boat to hers….I’m supposed to be a lighthouse guiding her way” are so beautiful, eloquent and the perfect description of what parenting is! I mean, sheesh, we all wish for and could use a parent as amazing as this mum and many of us were not so lucky. Yet, the state has deemed she’s dangerous and unfit and has taken her daughter from her?!? Wtf, this makes no damn sense!! NONE!! There’s going to be hell to pay in the coming years and decades for everything that has been going on now, has been allowed to happen, supported and cheered on! Heads are going to roll and all involved will be held responsible! I hope that this mum is able to go after the father, stepmother, the state and everyone else involved in this w the full force of the law, sue the ish out of these ppl and throw the book at them! I hope ppl are jailed for everything they’ve done and the role they’ve played in all this dangerous nonsense and that they have everything taken from them! History is not going to document and remember this time and all those involved very kindly. *They will be documented for all of time as the actual baddies!* They keep saying they are “on the right side of history”, but it’s the *exact opposite* and they’ll have to live the rest of their lives knowing just how wrong they were, how much they effed up and that they’re the *villains* after all!

I hope her daughter sees this video.

What a woman. I’m so sorry for your situation. We’re destroying a generation of children with this transgender psychosis. God help us.

These politicians should have no business talking about how we should or should not parent our children.

She's a wonderful mother. I've read about their story before. I'm glad to actually see this strong woman. I hope she and her daughter will be reunited soon, and that her daughter hasn't been irreparably harmed.

She chose truth at the risk of losing custody. What an extraordinary brave mother. My heart goes out to her.

Already I have tears. I can’t imagine losing my child in such a way. You are a grounded and loving mother, and I truly hope your daughter comes back to you.

Thank you for being a good mom and standing by what is right. At some point she will recognize the truth. The number of girls regretting these choices is far too high to not ere on the side of caution!

I pray that you will one day be re-united with your daughter. I cannot imagine the pain you must feel.

Stand your ground mam, it may hurt now but it will ultimately be for her good, stand by the truth . Good parent and good luck 🍀

This made me sob. As a mother of an only child, a daughter of my own, I can’t even begin to imagine. It must feel like her heart has just been ripped out of her chest. Every morning she has to wake up and the reality comes crashing down on her that her only child has been taken away. I hope one day, maybe when Sophia is an adult, she will realize her mother isn’t a monster and only ever acted in her best interest.

This is truly heartbreaking. I will pray for this mama to be reunited with her daughter.

This is exactly what a good mother does. She helps her child to come to terms with whatever they are struggling with and walk them through overcoming it. A mother does NOT agree with limiting her child, to supporting her child’s destruction. This mother understands what her role is and is being punished for being a good mother. It makes so sad and incredibly ANGRY.

Children make terrible decisions. That is why they have parents. At 13, I was planning to steal a horse and ride to Scotland. I was going to live with my best friend on the island of Iona. At 17, I was going to try and bribe my parents to give me a dog by threatening to live with my Dad if my Mum wouldn't comply (yes, a year ahead of leaving home and neither of my parents like dogs). At 23, I had terrible plastic surgery. Biggest and most permanent mistake of my life - went into debt for it, and it made my problems worse. Enough said. Children should not be able to make life altering decisions.

A lot of people commenting about the mother's appearance. And that's the thing: the transgender ideology are the people most obsessed with gender roles in the planet. A woman liking short hair or not feeling comfortable in high heels doesn't means she's a man. A woman acting tough doesn't means she's a man. A man that acts "feminine" and feels like an outsider among other men isn't a woman. Being a man or a woman are our biological realities and they don't change according to our personalities.

I’m so sorry our government is doing this to you, you are in my prayers. May this current madness be corrected soon.

I’m crying for this Mama. She is so poised, and so loving. She is right, she is parenting now-she’s putting in the hard work, the work that breaks our Mama hearts. I hope that one day her baby will look back and say, wow, my Mama loved me so much that she sacrificed everything to try and save me.

I’m a mother of a 11 year old. I’m terrified that it could happen to me too. Once a girls period starts the hormones coursing through the body are powerful. I remember how much it changed me, a child into an angry and spiteful teen. If I did the things I thought I wanted for myself, I’d probably not be here. During puberty and adolescence is the most fragile and dangerous time. I would liken it to a ‘hormone psychosis’ and a medical procedure should NEVER be preformed while experiencing this. It’s awful that other adults think this is what children/adolescents want. Your thinking changes in 5-10 years after puberty! I never believed it until my now 30’s with a daughter. Feeling so sorry for the Mom… 😢

I hope her daughter sees this and feels the passion and love her mother has for her. Her mother loves her more than anyone else on the face of this earth and soon the daughter will realize that it's not from a place of love that the other people in her life are encouraging her identity confusion. There's money to be made on being on hormones for the rest of your life, money to be made on reassignment surgeries and maybe the father is happier to have a son than a daughter.

This is devastating. One day, this child will wake up from this delusion, and she’s going to be devastated from the guilt of what she caused her mother. And it’s not her fault. The adults in her life failed to protect her from herself. That includes her father, the courts and CPS. Her mother was truly the only person in her corner, and it’s so painful to hear about this.

The world has gone mad! I'm an aristocrat stuck in a peasant's body but no one will give me a castle and a title! Believing in transgenderism is an opinion which many in the medical profession disagree with. We should be allowed our opinion without having our children taken away. This poor woman, my heart bleeds for her.

Your daughter would be so blessed to be with you. How can the courts determine that a father knows what a daughters emotions are when he never was a girl. The father is taking the lazy way out. It takes energy to keep your child from self harm . To do what is right can be EXHAUSTING.

This woman seems really cool. I miss the days when you could cut your hair and wear jeans and speak bluntly as a woman and no one was confused about your identity. When I was young, I liked this style and no one ever thought I was a boy or trans. Nowadays they take it to an extreme and would question your pronouns or something. Gen Xers are a little older then me but I thought they were so cool. I miss this kind of style and attitude.

This is heartbreaking. How can she not be allowed personal contact with her daughter when there had been no findings of abuse. I hope that her child is ok and that they will be able to have a relationship in the future

This should terrify every parent. Unfortunately, not every parent is a good parent. Some parents actually push this ideology onto their kids and it's abuse.

What a strong and brave mother. I can feel her heart aching for her daughter. I pray one day her daughter comes back to her.

Wow this was painful to watch. What a strong woman and a mother. This is just sad. I couldn't help but cry.

Jeannette❤ you’re incredible. You are a beacon of truth and light. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this suffering, I hope and pray I’d be as strong and resilient as you.

I cannot believe this is happening in 2023😮 Feels like our society is sinking and there is no lifelines available anywhere 😢

Super heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing your store. Keep holding and keep fighting; she’ll probably realize one day you were right all along, and you were the only one that cared enough to stand up to the nonsense she’s been recklessly pushed through by the new affirmation without question model.

How this is allowed to happen in our country is so scary. That affirming your child's identity, who they TRULY are, is considered more abusive than lying to them.

Oh my God, the average woman does not know that this is happening, I didn't know till about a month ago, and I talked to some other ladies and they had no idea of everything that's going on it's so insidious.. the powers that be are on a mission to destroy humanity !!!

How does the court have the right to rip a person away from you that came out of YOUR WOMB!! Outrageous!

I'm going through the exact same thing and it's brutal. Something has to change

Jeanette, when we met at the First Do No Harm Rally, I hadn't yet heard your story. You were so upbeat and funny that I had no idea the extent of what you'd been through with your daughter. Thank you for your voice. I'll be seeing you on the 26th! ❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

Extremely common story. Thousands of parents are going through the same thing as Jeannette in one way or another. We are lighthouses with her.

Yes mom, stand your ground. My love and empathy goes out to you.❤

That's really sorrowful 😔 Stay strong mom! Who are these people promoting insanity?

God bless you and your daughter. I hope she sees this someday to see how much you love and miss her ❤️

The father is an absolute creep and the only truly needing investigating.

In 5 yrs maximum, this girl will come back with her body totally disfigured and lamenting that she cut out the only person who wanted her to be safe

My heart is breaking for this mom but more for her daughter. For the damage that people are doing to her. Praying that God will intervene in her life and redirect her back to safety.

You absolutely did the right thing as your daughters mother. In Australia, we too had a case where a child was removed from their parents because the parents wouldn't call the child he as the daughter requested. Sadly, under the current Labor government (Albanese), they passed a law stating that children can be removed from their parents if their parents don't follow through with the confusion. I've previously worked in child mental health and seeing how quickly children change their minds on what sex they would like to be is just mind blowing. Instead of offering ongoing counselling, instead they offer to chop off the child's breast, castrate the child etc. Your daughter will realise one day and come back. Remember, the frontal cortex of the brain fully develops between 21 and 25 - the frontal cortex is the part that deals with logic and reasoning.

To hear that her father is allowing this has me flabbergasted. But this is insane either way you slice it

Dear God, I feel horrible for this woman. But stay strong, never believe the lie. And I pray one day your daughter comes back around.

This poor womans heart is broken. I don't want to imagine her pain. She deserves better. She is the voice of reason in this situation IMO.

As mothers, it is incredibly important to display confident, happy, grounded femininity.

This is a criminal crisis against a mother and yes 🙌🏽 herself. I’ll be praying that an excellent attorney takes this case and establish a precedent. 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏🏽❤️

I have only seen this just now. Thank you, Jeanette for continuing to speak out for our kids.

Jeanette, you have explained & expressed yourself eloquently and are 💯 correct. I am wishing this difficulty & pain to pass soon and sending you so much love and strength from one mother to another. ❤️❤️❤️ (I hope you see this.)

I cried through entire video, heartbreaking even I don’t have children. I was a very rebellious teen, my mother was very tough and strict. We have so many differences, even today I still argue with her most of the time. But I wouldn’t never ever imagine growing up without her. All the time, I know my mother is my safety net, I let her know that even I disagree with her, I really appreciate how she raised me since I was 20yo. It is cruel to take away mother - daughter connection, regardless what shape, form, or dynamic is. 😭😭😭

Sue the government. You have been damaged by them.

That was such an excellent analogy! In the sea of life, there are always going to be tumultuous waters. As a parent, we should not be hooking our boat to our kid’s. We should be their lighthouse. (Or, hook THEIR boat to ours, and we tow them to safety.) This story is heartbreaking & surreal.

This is heartbreaking! You did the right thing in standing for the truth and leading your daughter in the truth. Prayers that she will be able to see the truth and know that you are right for how you responded to her confusion.

I feel your pain. I'm a 57 year old Yaya to my granddaughter, whom I raised with my husband and daughter until she was 5 then she was abruptly taken away by my daughter it has been almost 5 years. My daughter was pregnant at 17 and we loved and supported her and her husband ( they eloped after she turned 18) we coparented our granddaughter and had a great time doing this, our granddaughter loves my husband and I so much and was very attached to us. We supported our daughter and her husband emotionally and financially without any guilt put on them, we 'wanted' to do everything we did for them/ her. Our daughter eventually divorced, we supported her and helped her through this as best we could. Our granddaughter spent most of her time with me or me and my husband and we were totally cool with that, she was our daughter in our hearts. Our daughter never had any issue with this, we respected our daughter as her mom and we all just co-parented, never any issues. However, when our granddaughter was 4 1/2 our daughter started acting strange, she became combative and aggressive seemingly overnight... as if someone was coaching or directing her to do this. She became overbearing and aggressive toward her daughter as well. My husband and I tried to lovingly talk with her privately about this but she became hateful toward us. We were very disoriented and confused on what to do. Within 6 months she broke it off with her live in boyfriend of 2.5 years and moved in with a woman. Our daughter forbid her daughter to even say his name. This was extremely traumatic for our granddaughter, she sobbed in my arms a few times over him and begged me not to tell her mom or the other woman 🥺, the heartache my granddaughter endured was horrific! Then our daughter cut off her best friend who had 2 kids that were my granddaughter's best friends...same thing, she was forbidden to mention them or cry about it! We comforted our granddaughter and prayed our daughter would come to her senses. Our daughter gained about 50lbs, cut off all her hair and started dressing like a slobby old man. We watched this happen but because of her angry attitude we did not dare try to talk with her again, we just loved and supported her. To back up a bit, our daughter had been the complete opposite before her radical change, she even instructed me to put more attention into my hair/wear makeup/change my wardrobe to be more fashionable etc... and had been annoyed with me on a few occasions because "I had not dressed up my granddaughter or done her hair properly before taking her out of the house". The abrupt change in our daughter was very hard to navigate because we did not know what to expect and so we walked on egg shells continually around her. She started making demands that we put our granddaughter in her room after we picked her up from day care and leave her there till dinner, then she could come out to eat dinner, and then we had to put her to bed with no stories or playtime! And another was that our granddaughter was not allowed to have ANY carbohydrates! No fruit, no whole grain toast, no rice or potatoes! I gently gave push back, I tried to make my daughter chuckle about how silly that was as she used to be able to lighten up and laugh at herself...but that did not go well. Our granddaughter was not only thin but very sweet... there was no reason for any punishment or food restriction ( not that there ever should be, children should be loved and admonished maybe disciplined but not punished and certainly not on the Atkins diet!). About a year after our daughter became aggressive, she cut us off completely, she had already cut off her best friend whose children were our granddaughters friends and then shortly after that she cut off our other daughter, her sister and brother in law, then my parents, and all of her friends. My husband and I did all we could to try and keep contact with her to try to make ammends but its been almost 5 years. The woman she is with is truly sociopathic, she and her whole family have made up crazy lies about us. I feel like I'm living in a horror movie version of the Twighlight Zone. I can't even begin to describe the pain and grief. We were told that our granddaughter suffered severe trauma from a source that we met later who knows my daughter. Others have come forward and confirmed this. Also confirmations that the woman she is with is controlling, manipulative and a pathological liar. We never got to know her and there was no reason those who told us would have had to make that up, some of those people were not even friends of ours, just acquaintances.

Amazing mother… I am so proud of your stand for truth, despite the incomprehensible pain. Yes, you are being a real, loving, and sacrificial parent. I will be praying for you and your daughter ❤️

how awful - and her child is going to one day look back at all this and feel intense shame at how she treated her own mother. a horrible situation all around.

There's nothing more unsafe than that horrible alphabet mafia.

Wow, you are one seriously incredible mother. We should all be so lucky.

So a mother is forbidden from being with her daughter, because she knows better than her daughter and this is justice? America, you are the laughing stock of the world right now.

I'm so sorry. It possibly feels empty to say this but you're doing the right thing. This latest wave of misogyny is causing immeasurable harm to vulnerable kids. May they all find their way out of this maelstrom. ❤

Absolutely heartbreaking… she clearly loves her daughter.

You have such clarity! Mom you are right! I pray for you to be released from this!🙏🙏

This is absolutely disgusting and my heart breaks for the mother her child needs her!!! Prayers you get your daughter back where she belongs along side her mother!.

I am so sad for this mother. It is hard because kids can use the separation of parents and pick the one who affirms the craziness. what this mother is going through is unspeakable. My heart goes out for you.

The truest form of love is expressed from compassion and understanding. The strength and conviction to save her child’s life is so commendable. It’s just so hard to believe this is the 21st century. As parents we face so many fears (perceived or real) imagine adding this made up 🌈 community to the bucket list.

We need common sense laws to prevent these situations.

This is how a loving , caring, parent would be the lighthouse for the child in times of distress. My heart hurts for you as mother, know you are doing the most loving thing a parent can do. Being honest. Love to you.

Who's going to pay for this kid's cancer treatments when the trans honeymoon phase fades after all the drugs have done their damage?

My heart breaks for you, Jeannette. Hang in there, she will come back.

I am so sorry. I hope one day she realizes you were right and that you loved her so much you stood up for her. This is heartbreaking 💔

I lost my daughter to a cult-like group for over 2 years. It was the hardest thing I have ever endured. God gave me strength, though some days I would cry for 2 hours at a time and there were days I didn't want to go on. We had been quite close and I never imagined this would happen to me. My son joined her in the group for about 3 months before he saw the light and came home. A few months after that, he was cut out of her life, too. The transgender ideology is like a cult in that it encourages kids to separate from families who disagree. I feel this woman's pain and pray that Sophia realizes what a loving, wise mother she has. Shame on the system that has supported this alienation.

You are a good parent. Stand your ground and I believe things will work out for the good. Your tears have not gone to waste. Your will see your daughter again.

A lighthouse withstands all storms and reflects the sun on good days. Keep your faith strong.

Bet it all started in school or on social media. How many more kids will fall into this trap?! I worry about my neices and nephews so much. This is insanity.

Every parent needs to stand up against this madness that has taken over so many of our childrens lives. You're not alone warrior mom. Keep fighting for your daughter because she needs you to fight even if she doesnt agree. You are not only fighting for her but for all the other children sucked into this cult.

This woman is an incredible parent. Stay strong. One day Sophia will come back and know this too.

The fact that something like this could happen in America should send all parents screaming at the courts and the disgusting broken corrupted system

You are still parenting now!!!! I applaud you because I know you are right!!!

I will pray for Jeannette and her circumstances. God can shift things in miraculous ways! I hope many people will join me, as this is genuinely a huge injustice.

Beautiful strong woman I pray her daughter has the same strength and when she matures she will return to her mum and they’ll have a strong relationship to make up for the years lost. 🙏🏻

This is completely devastating for this mom, I can’t even believe we are living this life!

I was sobbing watching this. I could feel her pain in her voice. The world is crumbling and falling apart because our officials have allowed and done things to break up the family.

Shame on that father and step-mother! Jeannette, if you are reading this, know you are embodying the true essence of a mother. The love, the sacrifice you are enduring. You are carrying a cross for your daughter.

I pray for this mother. Pray and stay strong. Your daughter is brainwashed now, but she will know the truth one day.
