I have not only read about this, but have also ministered to families with transgender children and I can tell you the push is substantial.
Here's an example. In Oregon, a school district is being sued after a teacher kept asking one of her 8-year-old students if he was a girl inside. The teacher gave him videos on transgenderism to watch as well as instructional books. The child's parents found out when their son brought home one of the books. The teacher got the books from a friend who is transgender.
And in California, a complaint has been filed against a teacher who had multiple conversations with a boy in her class about his gender identity. The parents were not informed about what was happening. His mother said her son feels different now, he feels confused. The California guidelines even encourage kindergartners to “think about whether they might identify with another gender."
And don't just roll your eyes and say, "That's just liberal California for you." The transgender agenda will be coming to your school in the days ahead and Christ-followers must be prepared.
In British Columbia, a judge issued a gag order against the parents of a 14-year-old girl who identifies as a boy. The judge did this because the child's parents were referring to her with female pronouns. And the child's father was found guilty of "family violence" for stopping the child from starting injecions of male hormones. The judge even forbade the father from calling his daughter a girl.
In Ohio last year, a judge awarded custody of a transgender student to her grandparents rather than her parents, because her parents didn't support her transition.
It gets worse. 20 states have now enacted "SOGI" laws. "SOGI" laws make transgenderism protected like race or religion. The ultimate agenda is to make disagreement with the transgender agenda a crime.
Recenty the Hasbro toy company in Brazil started advertising dolls for boys. The "Baby Alive" dolls commercials show boys playing with the dolls. On a side note, these dolls for boys are not the masculine "G.I. Joe" characters that many boys in previous generations played with. Here's a short advertising video for it.
