Down the Rabbit Hole: The world of estranged parents' forums (2015)
I suspect that we are at an inflection point in history, and the United States has the factors for perfect storm. Traditional gender values meeting the pill, and Baby Boomers (the &quot;me&quot; generation) grappling for a last bit of control, while more progressive generations come of age. I also think that Boomers&#x27; drinking culture is relevant, as alcoholism and narcissism are correlated.<p>Being trans and the family scapegoat, I personally got out town as soon as I could, but that was not the end of the story. My narcissistic, abusive family conjured up a special blend of threats, saccharine and passive-aggressive letters, stalking involving the media, and misgendering&#x2F;deadnaming&#x2F;outing me in the will when they did croak.
