Back to the Future

 Once a violation of human rights, now the new normal.

On January 21, 2022 the World Health Organization published a report that indicated over 200 million young girls have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM) in 30 predominantly Muslim countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. FGM is a federal crime, 18 U.S. Code 116, and any participation in this act is considered a human rights violation, punishable by up to 5 years of imprisonment or deportation. This procedure is conducted on young girls, without consent and is medically unnecessary and dangerous. FGM is still prevalent in many majority Muslim-communities in the United States. As recently as 2020, many celebrities have denounced this as a crime against humanity, although US Representative Ilhan Omar, originally from Somalia where it is still widely practiced, has refused to do so.

Fast forward to today and an obsession with transgenderism has replaced sanity when dealing with the mental health issues of children and awkward teenagers. A boy that picks up a doll or is “in touch with his femininity” is encouraged to change his gender. A girl that has an interest in sports or seems masculine is encouraged to become a boy. In California, parents are not informed if their child decides to undergo puberty blocking, changing their gender identity or given name to correspond with their chosen gender. Any attempt to physically alter or allow a juvenile to change their pronoun or name without parental consent is child abuse. Far too many persons that undergo “gender modification end up regretting their choice, that is permanent, inalterable and has numerous health risks.

We are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. What we are not called to however, is to affirm each other within our sinful nature. Driven by the leftist media that affirms transgenderism, those that self-identify as transgender require all to validate their choice. Transgender supporters push an agenda that attempts to convince children to experiment with and normalize deviant sexual behavior. Why destroy children’s lives in order to feel better about themselves and their choices? Why steal our children’s innocence? As an adult, what you do is between you and God. Leave our children alone. Those that affirm and support this lunacy enable the insanity to spread throughout society.

Drag queen story hours are embraced by those that believe that they are being tolerant and acceptant of differing lifestyle choices. Christians and conservatives requesting equal time to communicate family values are accused of promoting hate speech and exclusion. Children are vulnerable to suggestion, especially from those they trust; teachers, clergy and as they grow older, their peers. Children do not possess the mental acuity necessary to process sexuality nor the emotional maturity to understand these concepts. All children go through phases that can call into question the customary gender roles that they exhibit. In almost all cases, children, if left to their own design, will return to gender roles that are appropriate to their biological sex.

Public education, on the other hand, has enabled numerous “woke” teachers to infiltrate the school system. These teachers have been indoctrinated with leftist ideology and are more than willing to usurp parental authority. Either by a deliberate lack of oversight or acquiescence by school administrators, these teachers encourage children to be whatever gender they choose, while deliberately hiding these life-altering decisions from their parents. Alternate lifestyles are promoted as normative and children are often persuaded to experiment with their sexuality by classroom education and assigned reading. Parents, not public education, are responsible for instilling values and morals in their children. Parents, who fund public education with their tax dollars, have the absolute right to know exactly what teaching methods, reading materials and curricula are used in the classroom. Parents have the right to address their grievances to local school boards without being declared domestic terrorists.

Transgender activists look to incite violence over their perceived lack of respect and misguided hatred of conservatives. A trans day of vengeance was planned for March 31^st and April 1^st in Washington DC. Monday, March 27th, a 28-year-old woman, transitioning to male, kills 6, including 3 children at Covenant Christian School in Nashville, Tennessee, and the media attempts to make her the victim. Police do not reveal the killer’s transgender identity until they are specifically asked. President Biden immediately politicizes this tragedy and calls for an “assault weapons” ban. When will this insanity end? When will these mentally ill people receive the treatment they deserve?
