My Dad Was Transgender: Why I Still Think Gender Can't be Changed

Denise Shick : May 26, 2016  The Daily Signal/Charisma

"Pumped full of unnatural hormones and chemicals and adorned in women's clothing, [my father] died a sad, confused, forgetful and regretful old man." -Denise Shick

[Charisma News] Yes, we really do live in a nation in which our government tells us girls and boys should be able to share restrooms and locker rooms. We really do live in a culture that values transgender rights over basic morality and children's safety. (Photo: cover of Denise's book/Amazon)

But the very hard reality in this topsy-turvy world is that transgender people are hundreds of times more likely to attempt suicide than the general U.S. population. And what does our enlightened culture do about this very sad statistic?

Well, we make it easier for people to transition to this sad and depressing lifestyle. Helping them struggle down the hard road of facing reality is just too judgmental; it's better to let them move into a make-believe life in which they face a 4-in-10 chance of attempting suicide.

I miss all those times when he accepted the reality that he was Harold, a man—a husband, father and grandfather.

I don't miss Becky, or those transition times when my father gave in to his transgender impulses. I don't miss him telling me, when I was just 9 years old, of his desire to become a woman and then requiring me to keep that confession a secret.

My father was the one who had entered another dimension, a make-believe dimension. And rather than returning to the real world, he wanted the real world to accommodate his make-believe world.
