In a heartbreaking account, Tracy Shannon, a Christian mother, shares how transgender ideology tore her family apart after her husband transitioned to become a woman.
Shannon believes her ex-husband lost himself in what she describes as "fetish behavior," which began with cross-dressing. The discovery of this behavior came after the birth of their first child.
"There were some rather disturbing things that did happen in those years," Shannon said. She recalls her husband taking her lingerie on weekends and becoming visibly aroused while shaving his legs. Despite these incidents, Shannon believed her husband's promises to stop and attended counseling sessions to address the issue.
However, after 14 years of marriage, Shannon's husband met someone online who guided him through a medical transition. During this time, Shannon noticed that her husband lost interest in activities he used to enjoy with their children. The impact of her husband's transition was not only felt by Shannon but also by their children, who had to grieve the loss of their father.
Shannon firmly believes that gender is a lie and that no one can truly become the opposite sex. She views transgender therapy and medicine as fraudulent and argues that they create numerous problems, including the destruction of families and the erasure of fathers.
According to Shannon, transgender ideology destroys families by prioritizing adult fulfillment over the well-being of the family unit. She explains, "There's this idea that runs through our society with this in other areas that adult fulfillment is more important than the family, more important than the marriage, more important than commitment. And that is why it's harming families."
In the case of her own marriage, Shannon reveals that the marriage counselor suggested she must be a lesbian for marrying someone with a feminine side and encouraged her to accept her husband's cross-dressing. The counselor even guided her husband in acquiring estrogen, which affected his libido and led to breast development.
Shannon expresses her deep hurt and frustration, stating, "This happens to me behind my back." Her husband would blame her for his cross-dressing, causing significant damage to her self-esteem. In an effort to avoid triggering him, Shannon would alter her appearance and avoid wearing feminine clothing, even down to her lingerie.
The impact of her husband's transition on Shannon felt as hurtful as an affair. She describes it as having "this other woman that he was creating for himself and enjoying by himself that felt like an affair." The emotional toll was immense, comparable to the pain experienced by a woman whose husband is cheating.
From the initial discoveries of cross-dressing to the divorce proceedings, Shannon describes this period as a severe test of her faith. She relied on prayer and trusted that God would protect her children from the turmoil they were experiencing. Despite the hardships, Shannon found strength and returned to the workforce as the divorce loomed, often facing dire financial circumstances.
At one point, Shannon had only $30 left in her bank account and couldn't afford to buy a pack of Oreos. However, she bought them anyway, and to her surprise, she later found a bag of groceries on her porch that friends had purchased for her. This act of kindness provided a glimmer of hope during a devastating time.
Fortunately, Shannon's story has a happy ending. She remarried and found solace in being home with her children once again. She even had another baby, bringing joy and healing to her family.
Tracy Shannon's story serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating effects transgender ideology can have on families. It highlights the importance of prioritizing the well-being of the family unit and the potential harm that can arise when adult fulfillment is placed above commitment and marriage.
Shannon's journey of faith, resilience, and restoration is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of love and faith.
