The state has no place in the raising of children, except in cases of child abuse when a child might become a ward of the state. But the American government has found its way into your home to assist you in raising your child.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) came out in support of attempts to switch children’s genders in a statement titled “Gender-Affirming Care is Trauma-Informed Care.” The organization “was created by Congress in 2000 as part of the Children’s Health Act to raise the standard of care and increase access to services for children and families who experience or witness traumatic events.
Less than two months ago, U.S. President Joe Biden claimed that American states had “no right to restrict treatments like hormone blockers or sex change operations for transgender children.” He called any denial of such treatments “outrageous” and “immoral.” Texas Governor Greg Abbott, on the other hand, signed an order that designated giving children hormone therapy to be child abuse. Biden takes it for granted that a child is capable of determining his or her gender identity, a decision that will affect a child throughout his or her entire life. Such a presumption also strips parents of their rights to raise their children. There is a reason why children need adult care and supervision.
If you are of a Judeo-Christian background and adheres to the Genesis verse about “male and female He created them,” your religious rights are also being encroached upon. It is wrong for the state to meddle in the business of families by using the publicly-funded public school system to teach underage children that they can “choose” their gender. Youngsters are ill-equipped to make sound choices for their longterm best interests, even under the best of circumstances.
Since the NCTSN asserts that “gender affirming care is trauma-informed care,” the message is that if parents oppose “gender-affirming” care, the state can deem them to be subjecting their child to “trauma.” Under this model of “healthcare,” there is no consideration of the power of peer pressure among youth, nor of the natural emotional instability of youth as they transition into adulthood. Congress is tightening its grip upon families, trampling the rights of parents, and rejecting a child’s natural need for sound direction and stability. Given the religion of wokeism, an entire generation is at risk.
Children are being used in a dangerous experiment as pharmaceutical companies sell puberty blockers and psychoactive drugs, and trans clinics sprout up everywhere. In Canada, if all doesn’t go as planned, when you’re 18 or older, you can qualify for help to kill yourself. An egregious Canadian law has been “sanitized” as a “service” called MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying); the law no longer requires “a person’s natural death to be reasonably foreseeable.” Among criteria to qualify for MAID: the patient must “have enduring and intolerable physical or psychological suffering that cannot be alleviated under conditions the person considers acceptable.” Proponents of the spreading euthanasia death cult put a pretty face on death, convincing victims that they are doing it to help them. A recent ad campaign showed “loved ones waving bubble wands next to the ocean, having picnics in the forest with friends and watching a puppet show.” Although the U.S. is not there yet, doctor-assisted suicide is still legal with conditions in ten US states and the District of Columbia, and given woke trends, it likely will not be long before America catches up to Canada. Now there is debate in Canada about offering MAID to underage kids, even babies if they are suffering from a “defect.” The message: just put them (and their parents) out of their misery.
It’s no secret that there is more psychological pain in the transgender community. These kids need rescuing from the woke system.
Data indicate that 82% of transgender individuals have considered killing themselves and 40% have attempted suicide, with suicidality highest among transgender youth.
What society and mainline churches (which are far too quiet on the issue) did not realize early enough is that there is no limit whatsoever to woke madness, or to the lust for money and power at any expense, including the sacrifice of a nation’s children. The proponents of this madness have no respect for the intrinsic value of human life.

Given the natural turbulence of youth, brought on by hormones and an innate process of natural separation from parents as they embark on adulthood, it is dangerous to allow transgender indoctrination in schools. The NCTSN document instructs:
Believe and validate youth when they share their gender identities with you by always using and validating the names, pronouns, and identities that youth share with you, even if those change while they are exploring their identities. Many children are aware of their own gender identity as early as 3-5 years old.
Vulnerable kids are in the grip of a range of “experts,” many of whom (including Dr. Rachel Levine) are deeply troubled themselves and are too quick to attribute the cause of a youngster’s difficulties to gender dysphoria. Kids are being taught that their gender is fluid, and they can be whatever gender they want to be, including more than one (“they”). This is a recipe for emotional and physical trauma, both short term and long term. Children who are susceptible to this indoctrination find other kids who are likewise susceptible, and they encourage one another. These children are indoctrinated and backed by the powerful trans lobby and the state. What better way to make a child feel empowered? But it’s only temporary. The manipulative adults behind all this gloss over the fact that youngsters are ruled by short-term emotions. Indoctrinated trans kids are inevitably cut off from communication with nature’s support system: their parents who love them and are invested in them. Parents are deemed to be abusive adversaries of their own children if they attempt to intervene. These kids are little match for adult, seasoned woke propagandists in the media and the state apparatus.

What better reason to go to war??? I mean really… Just what will it take before this filth is purged from our shores??

We absolutely need a civil war, otherwise we are done! Letting the Left control our schools, our entertainment and now our culture has brought us to the point where we’ll be in free fall, like other Western countries

Everyone goes through the “natural emotional instability of youth as they transition into adulthood.” Children are being exploited during this period of life to create an even larger LGBTQ+ group.
Children should be out playing Basketball, Football, Badminton, Tennis, swimming, et. al. Not thinking about sex change and other kinds of perversion during the emotional instability of youth. Its not a right, its child abuse. What kind of mentoring is that by adults?

The other thing is that the media are heavily into condemning the rest of society for the high levels of suicide and self-harm amongst allegedly transgender and same sex attracted young people. Of course they are in despair. They were promised that “this” procedure and “that” sort of sex would change things for them, in the latter case often by people who had been there themselves and knew it didn’t. I remember reading a really sad account by a young man who had really believed in gay marriage, and thought that he would one day meet the man of his dreams and live happily ever after. It never happened, and he has had to wake up to the fact that marriage is merely another status symbol in the same sex world, and makes no difference to an overall orientation towards doing as much sex as you can with as many blokes as you can, whilst playing Russian roulette with STDs.

The weirdos, the dysfunctional, the freaks, wackos and detritus of society just twenty or thirty years ago wanted mere acceptance. Now they want dominance. And you had better not disagree with them or they will do everything to cancel you in sundry ways, even make your personal life miserable or drive you out of business or… or… or….
The tipping point? Gay marriage. Let two men marry one another or two women and no one should be surprised by anything thereafter, including our now having, per San Francisco city government, 130 genders, up from a mere 57 genders a la Facebook just a few years ago This is what can occur, and has occurred, when the bulk of society loses its guts and refuses to call a halt to sheer nonsense.
There’s no end to this rot, presently with even pronouns being sexist. Let one abnormality become normalized and expect other abnormalities, even horribly egregious ones, to also become normalized, all the while what was traditionally normal is now, no surprise, characterized as bigotry, limited thinking, hate speech, etc., for instance maintaining that the traditional nuclear family of father, mother and children is ideal—yeah, lots of luck with this anymore.
American society has come a long way from the days of Leave It to Beaver, the Donna Reed Show and My Three Sons—a long way downwards. Instructive too how quickly civilization can be lost and aberrancies put in its place. Every civilization, however optimal, is just one or two generations away from complete evisceration. This is why constant vigilance is necessary. Such vigilance has been in short supply over the past half century here in America and the results of this are obvious to all who can still observe as well as see. Even the damn American government under the clownish Biden Administration can’t destroy traditional values fast enough. Beyond pathetic and profoundly troubling.

Those shows would never be made in today’s woke environment.

Congress-created ‘health’ group pushes gender-switching ‘trauma care’ for kids
…………………………………………
This is *just nuts*.
The other day there was a feature on my local newsradio–KCBS–where they had some “expert” claiming that some states were “denying health care” to “trans-youth”. This conjures of terrible images of doctors refusing to treat a child’s cold if he is a boy who shows up in a dress, or refuses to treat a broken arm because the child is a girl with a typical boy’s haircut–but of course it has nothing to do with this. It was all about subjecting children to sex changes.
Note that I have *no problem* is an adult wants to have such a procedure, providing they don’t expect taxpayers to foot the bill. But *children*? Many kids have no idea what they want to be when they grow up, or even what they want to major in in college–and this is fine–that is what childhood is for. But also clearly few children can make an irrevocable decision like this before reaching adulthood.
Kids get pressured into things all the time, especially trendy things pushed by grownups or their peers–and some of them are potentially *very* dangerous–as here.

Agree, gravenimage.
If adults want to have this done to themselves – as long as they do not demand that others pay for it – then let them “have at it”…

When I was three, I was going to have a family of children named Pinkbell, Bluebell and Yellowbell. Thankfully, no-one held me to that decision – but if I’d been born fifty years later and had announced that I was now three personalities named Pinkbell, Bluebell and Yellowbell, the chances are that I would have been affirmed in my delusions and, on the assumption that Bluebell would be male and Pinkbell gay, given the appropriate medication and support, a.k.a grooming.
