In Brief: Cultural Marxism Is ‘Identifying’ as Transgenderism

This is something that ought to be cause for more Americans to wake up.

Walt Heyer lived eight years of his life attempting to be a woman, so when he speaks against the “transgender” ideology, it’s from experience. Most recently, he wrote about the Marxism infused in this ideology, and particularly about the insidious indoctrination of children.

Hundreds of parents have written me about their school-aged and college-aged children suddenly announcing trans identities. As a man who identified as a woman for eight years, I know trans identities intimately. Urging children along this path is child abuse.

The transgender indoctrination starts young. Trans-affirming curriculum and storybooks plant seeds of gender confusion in children (aka “grooming”) as early as kindergarten by pushing the bogus idea that children can choose their gender. Many school policies require aiding and abetting children who think they may be the opposite sex.

This can include teachers, administrators, counselors and others acting behind parents’ backs to “affirm” this alternative “identity” in children. But it gets worse.

The so-called treatments gender professionals recommend for children are hideous and barbaric: disrupt normal adolescent development with puberty-blocking drugs, inject anabolic steroids (cross-sex hormones), and finally, butcher healthy body parts — genital removal for boys and mastectomies for girls. Most of the damage is irreversible and all of it is unnecessary.

Protecting kids often starts with understanding the Marxist motivation of their tormentors.

The cultural Marxist goals are to devalue, dehumanize, and destroy. The trans ideology advances these goals in several ways:

Devalue women … Devalue precious children … Dehumanize, punish, silence … Destroy parental rights and student safety … Destroy women’s sports.

He elaborates on each of those points and talks about examples of people fighting back before concluding:

The Marxist tactics disguised as transgender policies are a cancer infecting our entire culture, with schoolchildren as the prime targets. Thank goodness that concerned parents and celebrities are speaking out against the damage being done.

Bravo to the brave souls willing to go against the mob. Their selfless example is an inspiration to all and deserves to be imitated. Every voice matters.
