A little over a week ago, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ordered testosterone injections for a 14-year-old girl who now considers herself to be a transgender boy, against her parents’ wishes. Even more frightening, her parents face legal penalties if they use the wrong pro-noun or dare to call her by her birth name.

John Stonestreet of  Breakpoint rightly pointed out that  “Just as same-sex marriage proved to be a grave threat to religious freedom, transgender ideology is proving to be a grave threat to parental rights.”

He’s right.

The stories that parents who are losing their parental rights in court simply because they do not subscribe to the pseudo-science behind transgenderism should send a shiver up the spine of every parent.

Recently, five mothers shared their stories for The Public Discourse. When their daughters and sons announced they were transgender, the heartbreak for their parents was only just beginning. Even though children usually make these announcements  after intense indoctrination via the internet, schools and trans-activists, the concerns of parents are ignored. Instead, they are often vilified and threatened with legal action.

The result for families is heartbreaking. Children are suffering through surgeries which remove perfectly normal, healthy sex organs while parents suffer an equally agonizing situation—being sidelined and cut out of these life-altering decisions.

Twenty years from now, when these kids are more unhappy than ever, twenty years from now, when these kids cannot have children of their own—where will all these trans-activists be? They’ll be long gone, like the dreams of healthy outcomes for thousands of children who have become prey to a dangerous and scientifically flawed ideology.

Parents, beware. Protect your kids from this madness. If you don’t, who will?

What do drag queens and children have in common?

Nothing.

But that’s not stopping public libraries across the United States from hosting “Drag Queen Story Hour” (DQSH), an organization whose stated goal is the promotion of “gender fluidity” to children. Like it or not, your public library may soon be asking men in drag to talk to children about homosexuality and make sure your child knows he or she can “imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.”

Dress up isn’t real, of course. And neither is “gender fluidity.” It’s made up, just like a fairy-tale, with no real science to back it up—but drag queens like “Annie Christ” who performs in lewd, sexually charged nightclub shows, was invited to read to children at the Lansdale (Pennsylvania) Library despite pleas from concerned residents.

As a mother of seven, and grandmother, I can attest to the vulnerability of children—and DQSH seeks to capitalize on that vulnerability. In fact, DQSH is asking us to do more than host an hour where gay men dressed as women talk to children about sex, they’re asking us to set our most basic instincts about life aside. They’re hoping we’ll stare blankly at each other, wonder how we got here and then – just stay out of their way.

Recently, I posted a warning to parents in my city of Vancouver, Washington – the latest city to surrender its dignity to men in drag. “Why would we expose our kids to topics of this nature?” I asked. “Why not bring in firefighters or scientists to read to them?” The response was swift and severe. “You’re a hate-filled, ignorant woman!”, one reader screamed. “You’re the reason trans kids kill themselves!”, yelled another.

No, I’m not the reason this is happening. The reason this is happening is hidden in plain sight: somewhere along the line, we decided that love can exist apart from truth. It can’t of course. Real love requires truth. And the truth is that men cannot turn into women, no matter how much makeup they put on, no matter how many hormones they take, or how many surgeries they have.

When did we decide to stop telling the truth?

Physicians are also afraid to speak the truth about transgenderism, and with good reason. One doctor recently said, “no one is free to dissent without being punished. Such punishments range from being “passed over for promotions” to “demoted from Chairmanship positions” to suffering “loss of research funding” and being subject to “severe harassment by peers [and] death threats from activists.” (Link here)

Recently, a long-time public school teacher in Oregon told me that her peers were terrified of speaking out against transgenderism and gender dysphoria – even to other educators. They’re routinely bullied by transgendered or homosexual students, who have been given unprecedented authority in the schools. Don’t believe me? Ask a teacher. If you offer another view (other than pro-trans) to your student – you will likely face a lawsuit in our new, tolerant society. And just in case you’re curious, thirty years of excellence in teaching won’t help you when the ACLU comes for your job.

No wonder our schools are in chaos. The transgender community does not want “tolerance.” They want total capitulation, total surrender.  What teacher wants to lose their job to protect a child? What library employee is willing to get fired when retirement is just a few years away? The answer is simple: fewer and fewer each year.

Fear is a powerful weapon, and trans activists are wielding it masterfully.

It’s a sad time to be a child in the United States. More and more children are at risk for a new phenomenon that has been recently labeled: “Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria.” Young, impressionable children, many of whom may be struggling with social or emotional issues, are easy targets for the trans community, who promote transgenderism, with its hormone blockers and “confirmation” surgeries as soul-satisfying solutions to their pain.

The trans community and those who are making millions on their “confirmation” surgeries want the rest of us to shut up and give them unfettered access to our children.

“Let the drag queens come to the libraries,” they say. “It’s about love,” they tell us, while a generation of children become pawns in a push to validate the pseudo-science of gender fluidity.

“We’re not hurting anyone, we’re having fun,” they say.  This isn’t innocent fun. It’s the blatant targeting of children.  DQSH seeks to promote a dangerous and high-risk lifestyle. Drag queens in libraries actively push adult sexuality on innocent and vulnerable children. This is NOT just harmless fun. It is deliberate activism that should not be promoted with taxpayer dollars.

They’re hoping we’ll push our protective, basic biological instincts aside and applaud as parents allow their “drag kids” to perform at gay clubs where grown men will watch them dance for money.

We used to call that child-abuse. But here, in our alternate reality, we call it “progress.”  Science doesn’t matter, facts don’t matter, and outcomes don’t matter either.

And speaking of outcomes, the increasing number of stories that are surfacing from families of transgendered kids who have been permanently disfigured and emotionally devastated by the lie of transgenderism – should be a wake-up call for parents and physicians.

It should be.

 A few years from now, when these “gender fluid” children have forfeited the ability to procreate, thereby shattering a beautiful dream that only their future, grown-up minds could fathom, I wonder where the drag queens will be? Something tells me they won’t stick around to pick up the pieces.

I hope you guys don’t mind if I cut right to the chase today… because this is important.

Do you know what happened last week while our nation was arguing over  Civil War statues? While demons were pouring gasoline on racial tensions in the US and re-igniting our deep offense toward the Confederate Army (I can’t believe I just typed that in 2017) Oregon Governor Kate Brown quietly signed the nation’s most devastating abortion bill into law.

Last week, just days after the horrible events in Charlottesville took place, Oregon made sure it’s position was secure as the most radical provider of unrestricted abortions in the nation.  Oregon’s House Bill 3391-B compels insurers, public or private, to provide a whole swathe of “reproductive services” free of cost and regardless of income, insurance type, citizenship status, or gender identity. Because the bill prohibits insurers from shifting costs to customers in the form of higher deductibles or co-pays, private insurers will be forced to eat the costs — or, more likely, to distribute them among their customers through higher premiums. Medicaid (read: Planned Parenthood) will receive an extra $10 million from the state to cover the procedures. That’s ten MILLION DOLLARS of Oregonians money going to the murder of innocent babies up to nine months gestation for any reason, including gender selection.

Of course, the major media outlets aren’t talking about this American tragedy. No, they’re too busy trying to stir up an angry debate about slavery that was decided during the Civil War.  It’s as if we have forgotten who won the war! The outcome of the Civil War determined that slavery in this nation will not stand. And indeed, it does not. Christians all around the world should stand in stark opposition to the evil that is racism—and certainly slavery—but can I suggest that something even more sinister than racism is at the heart of our struggle over statues?

It’s curious to me that old statues getting the attention of popular preachers and teachers while abortion, the horrific murder of babies in the womb that is happening now gets little to no pulpit time. Oregon says that they’ll use taxpayer money to fund your sex-change surgery and your gender-selection abortion… and all we hear is … nothing. The silence is deafening.  Where is the outrage over that?  Black women are aborting their babies at an alarming rate compared to every other culture in America and we want to march about statues? We are losing thousands of precious black women every year in this country. Feminists? Where are you?

The standard by which we measure offense as Christians needs to be re-calibrated, and fast.

We have lost our way, men and women of God! We have made an idol out of our right not to be offended. Tell me, what good is going to come of this? Do we really want to teach our children to march in the streets because we are offended over statues while real, live babies are callously ripped from their mother’s wombs?

Listen. Offense is a trap; a snare set by the devil to distract us from what really matters, and boy are we stepping on almost every trap the devil is setting right now. It seems that every time I turn on the news, another trap is springing shut. SNAP! Can you hear it, too?

And there’s more: while we’re allowing ourselves to get drug into the swamp of offense, a coup is taking place. We’ve forgotten to keep our eyes out for the REAL enemy. Our enemy, the devil, comes to steal, kill and destroy. Right now, he’s taking direct aim at destroying our unity in Christ.
