"THEY'RE CHILDREN - NOT LAB RATS!"
Hey Joe, you didn’t need to declare “Transgender Visibility Day” on March 31st…this has been shoved down the throats of Americans throughout your administration, and it is already quite VISIBLE! If you had done this after burning your retinas from staring at the sun during the eclipse, preventing you from seeing clearly, one might understand. But, you just did purely out of evil, and on Easter.
The Biden White House (or house of horrors) has declared/celebrated at least seven other holidays that pay homage to LGBTQ+ issues. And by the way, the “T” in that alphabet soup label or handle, stands for transgender. But, evil Joe just had to make it front and center again. These other commemorative holidays are “National Coming Out Day” “Intersex Awareness Day” “Spirit Day” – all in October; “Lesbian Day of Visibility” in April; “International Day Against Homophobia” and “Transphobia & Biphobia celebrated in May; and “Transgender Day of Remembrance” in November.
But wait, that’s not all. These folks get entire months devoted to their freak shows, such as “Pride Month” in June; “LGBT History Month” in October; and…wait for it… “Transgender Awareness Month” in November. So, why the visibility day when they already have an entire month?
Umm, how many days do we set aside to honor our veterans? Two—Memorial Day and Veterans Day—they certainly don’t get an entire month of “visibility.” And what about Christ—we get two days to honor and celebrate the birth and resurrection of our Savior. Hey Joe, even if you were hell-bent (that might be a prophetic adjective) on declaring the trans-freak day on Easter, the least you could have done was to simply mention that it was Easter—the day Christ was risen following His death on the cross for our sins (including yours Joe.)
“When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, but the godly will live
to see their downfall.” Proverbs 29:16
Joe has been pulling stunts like this since he took office. In June 2021, The Biden administration had a press release announcing the rewriting a key civil rights law and using the power of federal bureaucracies to enforce its transgender agenda. They added to Title IX’s enforcement prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex to now include, “discrimination based on sexual identity.” In May of 2021, the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) made a similar announcement. This would also include mandatory coverage of gender-affirming care, including mutilation surgeries.
Roger Severino, Trump’s former Director of HHS stated, “Because this Administration can’t push its LGBT agenda through elected representatives in Congress, it’s issuing lawless regulations that would require experimental transgender surgeries to be performed and paid for by insurance, including on minor children, in the name of non-discrimination. Their end game is clear, to push these dangerous experimental treatments on kids and unwilling families as a national insurance mandate.”
By adding sexual orientation and gender identity into the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), group insurance plans would be required to include coverage for the following deplorable list:
Puberty blockers for children
Lifetime cross-sex hormones
Genital and non-genital surgical procedures (hysterectomy, penectomy, mastectomy)
Blepharoplasty (eye and lid modification)
Face/forehead and/or neck tightening
Facial bone remodeling for facial feminization
Genioplasty (chin width reduction)
Rhytidectomy (cheek, chin, and neck)
Cheek, chin, and nose implants
Lip lift/augmentation
Mandibular angle augmentation/creation/reduction (jaw)
Orbital recontouring
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping)
Laser or electrolysis hair removal
Breast/chest augmentation, reduction, construction
Hey Brandon, and the rest of your cronies, here is the real consequence/negative impact of your satanic agenda, policies, and executive orders—our children! If you want to bring a new world into existence, it seems like a good place to start is with other people’s kids.
Gender dysphoria or gender non-contentedness is more prevalent than ever, especially in children and adolescents. Why the escalation? The Cambridge Dictionary defines mobocracy as, “rule by a mob (= a large, angry crowd, especially one that could become violent)” and “a mob that has power, or is in control.”
How is mobocracy formed and how does metastasize like a cancer? Well, the roots of it are ignorance and fear. Fueled by far-left; one-sided; and truth-withholding media, mobocracy takes on a life of its own and spreads like wildfire. Yet, the real culprit of propagandic influence is social media. Many experts critical of the rising popularity of transgender identities view the rise among young people as a kind of “social contagion” and credit social media with helping to spread these ideas.
This group-think approach to life can affect people of all ages. Just look at the college-age sector of our society who bathe in this indoctrination; form a socialist playbook; and then permeate into the various sectors of our society—education, medical, corporate, judicial, political, and even some religious.
But, the real victims social media and other forms of propaganda are our young children and adolescents. There already exists several risks to too much online exposure for children and adolescents, such as depression; anxiety; bullying; and sleep disorders.
Teens (and younger) are often bombarded with “unrealistic expectations” which can be negatively impact their self-image and cause confusion to identity development, because their brains are yet to be fully developed. Social media becomes there constant companion the main source of indoctrinating information.
Social media can also expose these young and vulnerable minds to unrealistic expectations about body image; or become sources of isolation/exclusion; or become a playground for risk-taking behaviors—all which can be detrimental to mental health. What they see on social media can define what is expected in ways that is not accurate and that can be destructive to identity development and self-image.
Social media exposes adolescents to countless videos and messages that encourage them to adopt a transgender identity; begin the medicalization process of puberty blockers, cross sex hormones (CHS); and eventual gender reassignment surgery (mutilation.)
“See, children are a gift from the Lord. The children born to us are our
special reward.” Psalm 127:3
For those vulnerable to developing an eating disorder, social media may be especially harmful because it allows people to easily compare their appearance to their friends, to celebrities, even older images of themselves. For adolescent girls in particular, the more time they spend on social media directly relates to how much they absorb the idea that being thin is ideal, are driven to try to become too thin.
Let’s use an eating disorder to segue into the real topic of gender-affirming “care” (I use that term lightly.) If your child did have an eating disorder like anorexia, would you encourage them to keep eating less to reach an even lower body weight? Would you avoid seeking legitimate psychological and medical help that could restore him/her to a healthy weight? The answer should be “no” because you ultimately want the best physical and mental health possible.
So why would you encourage or promote a child or adolescent to start the destructive path of trying to become opposite gender from which God created you to be? Sadly, sometimes it is the parent(s) who are encouraging their child to “be who they want to be” regardless of the harmful consequences. Yet more times than not, the parents are left in the dark until the process to destruction has already begun because of the radical left folks in our education, medical, pharmaceutical, and media arenas are covertly maneuvering our young people into life-altering measures without parental knowledge or consent.
It gets even more sinister when the curtain is pulled back on how our public schools are obsessed with promoting this heinous scheme that ruins so many lives of children and adolescents, as well as their families. Remove your children from public schools today!
The Heritage Foundation has found that approximately 1,044 school districts in the United States have transgender or gender non-conforming policies mandated that school district personnel to keep a student’s transgender status hidden from parents.
It gets worse. There is a new trend in K-12 public schools of installing “school-based health centers” which is a façade for questionable and harmful services without parental consent or knowledge. Parents Defending Freedom is reporting shocking revelations about the subversive means by which Planned Parenthood, Reproduction for All, and the American Federation of Teachers, among other extremist groups, are pushing SBHCs to offer harmful interventions while hiding their activities from parents.
Even the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has jumped into the fray by falsely claiming that puberty blockers are completely safe. Drs. Lauren Schwartz and Miriam Grossman have challenged the APA calling their latest guidance on gender ideology “a political manifesto dressed up as science.” Instead of focusing on the mental aspect, the are quick to leap into changing the physical aspect of kids by dumping them with hormones with less focus on psychiatry.
“Nothing God created is hidden from him. His eyes see everything. He will
hold us responsible for everything we do.” Hebrews 4:13
Let’s explore and expose the physical and mental harm the wicked gender-affirming care tactics truly cause. During puberty, some hormone levels tend to go up and down throughout the day. Those highs and lows produce changes in the body like facial hair growth, voice deepening, height changes, breast development and menstruation.
Puberty blocker medications contain stable amounts of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs, which help suppress sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Once these hormones are “blocked,” the physical changes that would occur during puberty are paused.
Puberty blockers are administered by a healthcare provider through injections or an implant that goes under the skin. In order for puberty blockers to keep working, injections must be received monthly or every few months, and implants have to be replaced yearly.
The medicines most often used for this purpose are called gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) analogues. Side effects and complications include:
side effects of GnRHa analogue treatment include:
Mood changes
Weight gain
Hot flashes
Headaches
Mood changes
Acne
Use of GnRHa analogues also might have long-term effects on:
Growth spurts.
Bone growth.
Bone density.
Fertility, depending on when the medicine is started.
Additionally, GnRH may adversely influence learning, memory, mood, and psychosexual maturation, depression and suicidal ideation. These blockers that can cause irreversible damage to developing bodies are the gateway treatment that more often than not leads to the administration of cross-sex hormones and gender mutilating surgery.
While the United States is putting the pedal to the metal on going down this destructive highway of destroying the lives of our children, some other countries are seeing the truth and admitting that “there is not enough evidence to support the safety or clinical effectiveness of puberty-suppressing hormones to make the treatment routinely available at this time.”
Last month, the National Health Service of England (NHS) announced that they will no longer prescribe puberty blockers for children. This comes after months of public consultation on the topic and independent review of gender identity services for underage children. According to an article in Time magazine, the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) treated more than 5,000 kids from 2021-2022. A decade earlier only 250 youth were treated. Due to lawsuits by people who have opted to “de-transition” and outrage by the public, the GIDS clinic is closing at the end of March.
By the way, even the left-leaning Pope has denounced gender ideology. But our President doesn’t mind the Supreme Court rulings (student loan paybacks), so why should he follow the Pope’s advice?
This reversal by NHS in England, as well as reconsiderations by medical professionals in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and even France, are a blow to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) self-proclaimed “internationally accepted Standards of Care (SOC) for the treatment of individuals with gender dysphoria.”
Another shot across the bow of this radical, pro-trans advocacy group was the publication by Michael Schellenberger of the WPATH Files. The report, authored by Mia Hughes and based on documents leaked by WPATH insiders of an “internal messaging forum, as well as a leaked internal panel discussion, demonstrates that the world-leading transgender healthcare group is neither scientific nor advocating for ethical medical care.”
The report is truly shocking. “The files provide clear evidence that doctors and therapists are aware they are offering minors life-changing treatments they cannot fully understand. WPATH members know that puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries will cause infertility and other complications, including cancer and pelvic floor dysfunction. Yet they consider life-altering medical interventions for young patients, including vaginoplasty for a 14-year-old and hormones for a developmentally delayed 13-year-old.”
While proponents of “gender-affirming” treatment for adolescents claim that the confusion surrounding gender isn’t just a phase that one can grow out of, a long-term, large-scale study from the Netherlands seems to suggest otherwise.
For their study, researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, looked at data collected from 2,772 individuals through a survey spanning 15 years. Beginning at age 11, the participants were periodically asked about how they felt about their own gender, until they reached their mid-twenties.
In summary of their study, having the wish to be of the opposite sex is relatively common in this combined general population and clinical sample. Our data indicate associations between experiencing gender non-contentedness and a poorer self-concept and mental health throughout adolescence.
Of course the socialist media will never report that many individuals who have taken the steps to try to change their God-given gender. Many of the teens who once identified as transgender and took so-called puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to make their bodies resemble members of the opposite sex have grown to reject their transgender identities and begin the process of de-transitioning—taking yet more drugs in an effort to return to their natural development.
“you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you,
whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought
at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:18-19
Many of them are now suing their former doctors, saying that the transgender “treatments” harmed them before they were old enough to provide informed consent. Many of them also claim that doctors have violated the Hippocratic oath, a pledge for doctors which, among other things, includes the promise to “do no harm” to patients.
Just take a look at two individuals who have publicly shared their stories with the world about the harm they have suffered as a result of the push to change their gender. Here is Luka’s story and Chloe’s story.
And look who benefits the most from pushing this ideology and drastic measures on vulnerable, and often mentally ill children—Big Pharma! They will reap bundles of money off the life-long regiment of drugs these individuals will require. Kind of reminds us of COVID and the harm Fauci and his pharma buddies caused, as well as gained financially.
The truth is that gender dysphoria does exist. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) defines gender dysphoria (GD) as a condition in which a person has marked incongruence between the expressed or experienced gender and the biological sex at birth.
Why is there so little focus and effort in to treating this as a what it is— mental disorder! According to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System about 300,000 youth identify as transgender. Yet this data does not indicate how many had this disorder decrease with age, as was revealed in the Netherlands report.
Can you imagine if the woke educators, medical professionals, the greedy pharma gang, and social media would stop their fervent push to use our children as lab rats and instead provide the necessary and proper psychological care to address this disorder?
Sure, there would still be some that follow this dark path to its end, and that is tragic. But for all who are complacent into meddling with the minds and bodies of our children—HANDS OFF!
“The Lord our God will lead the way. He will fight on our side, just as he did
when we saw him do all those things to the Egyptians. And you know that
the Lord has taken care of us the whole time we've been in the desert, just
as you might carry one of your children.” Deuteronomy 1:30-31

Once again, thanks for being “our” voice when we don’t feel like we really have one.
