Someone hose me down! I ran across an article by a selfish ungrateful bitch promoting her myopic views on the world. She has a few letters surrounding her name to give credence to her pathetic self centered opinion. Poor little girl lost her daddy because he decided he was transgendered. As she grew into a woman it becomes clear she never really accepted nor forgave him for finding his own life and not sacrificing it for her any more than he already had.
She claims her daddy was depressed and suicidal after the transition. Conveniently we can't ask daddy because he's dead. She's pushing her book which she believes no one should be allowed to be transgender or allowed to transition. GOD! She's locked into the mental mentality of the sixties and before where trans was called a mental disease. A lobotomy, mind blowing drugs, electrical shock, and institutionalizing trans was the choice of medical doctors.
Okay, I blew a gasket over that one. I knew "they" were still out there without a clue what trans really is. I guess what really tripped my wire was her claiming to be an authority and crucified her daddy because he was her family disease.
Damn it clueless bitch, having one in the family doesn't make you an authority. Spend forty years researching what these people go through and what science and medical has learned. Spend time with them. Learn about their dreams, their heartaches, what unbelievable obstacles they have to push through to achieve a life you have taken for granted. In all those years I have NEVER met one who wished there were more like them. I have met many who wouldn't wish their life on their worst enemy. It isn't a life they chose. It chose them. They are some of the most intelligent people one will ever meet. They are some of the kindest people one will ever meet. Of course there is some bad seed in that crowd. They are human despite what others think. AND they are individuals not one size fits all like those outside looking in wants to classify them.
Don't read the articles. She is nothing but a hateful, self centered bitch pandering her book full of lies and hate. But if you want to know where it is.

Ah I see...
Damning socialised healthcare---tick.
Damning Obama---tick.
"Family ministry"---tick.
"Religious freedom*"---tick.
Don't really need to read any more.
*"Religious freedom"---the right to be an utter bigot to people you don't like coupled with the hamstringing of your victims. Oddly, those who cite RF only think it should apply to their own specific version of smallminded hatred. A bit like the Inquisition.
I could never even begin to
I could never even begin to understand what her mother went through but I know a terrible person when I see it. That so-called biological offspring is truly a terrible person. She doesn't deserve the title of "daughter", no real daughter would act like that.
That biological offspring is in denial about who is truly responsible for what happened to her mother. It's easier to blame it all on something else than see that it was her own actions that were the heart of the problem. But no, to her she couldn't have caused her new mother to experience pain and suffering because of her refusal to accept that her father didn't exist anymore if he ever existed at all. No, it had to be something else.
It's bad enough that she is deflecting blame, but she is an opportunistic scumbag at that. She is an embarrassment to her mother's memory. May her mother RIP and find the peace she needs and may her biological offspring suffer some great indignity her actions!
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
It's sad to see that kind of reasoning
How can she make those blanket statements about someone not being allowed to be transgender or allowed to transition? Regardless of her father's mental state, what about the rest of us who are transgender or just plain don't know where we stand? To tell us that we are just mentally ill is just wrong.
I don't understand why it is so important that we conform to someone else's concept of sex and gender. We aren't hurting anyone. I'm not sure if I want to cry out of frustration or anger. I really hope that the next generation does not have to go through this kind of treatment.
You are right and you are
You are right and you are wrong. Denise's writings make me sick too. I see very unhappy person here. I can't change her mind while I can and I will pray for her.
She is one sad puppy
She may be right about how she saw her family falling apart after her father's transition but to consider everyone else is in the same boat is as stupid as saying all men are rapists. These people always seem to be fundamentalists in religion and politics, probably because both tend to breed exclusivity and thus alienation which is then enhanced by practising discrimination and finally hatred.
Some of the comments show this small mindedness quite clearly but there are also a few from those who are anti bigots and some of those deliver some delicious put downs, especially the Jewish lady. It looks like we still have a long way to go for acceptance in the general community.

Two Articles
I read the first article and wondered what the uproar was about. Any girl would be upset if her father pawed through her clothing and used her make-up. I can't imagine a father who would be that insensitive. I was mildly taken aback that anyone would condemn all trans people because her father was a lout.
Then I read the other article. Wow. What a pile of nonsense. She obviously wants to sell books and gather donations. Her ministry probably includes speaking in tongues and handling snakes.

I strongly doubt her first story
Her father went through her clothes and makeup? I doubt there are one in a thousand moms who could wear any of their teen daughters clothes. One in a million dads is giving a big fudge factor. Unless she was truly large shapeless girl then my doubt remains. The bitterness was there all along and she went full Monty in the second story.
It is a story as old as humanity. Her father gave in to the gift he was blessed with, changed appearances to that of a female. In her mind the female killed her father and took his place. Whether she truly loved her father is not debatable. To truly love someone you accept who and what they are. Not the facade we see with our eyes but what we see with our heart. We want those we love to be happy and enjoy their life. It gives us pleasure to see them so. Selfish people want what they want and piss on what others want.
Don't take life seriously, it is too short to truly understand
