The worst nightmare of loving parents is the state taking away their children because they’ve been deemed unfit. This generation of parents is having to face that prospect in many states simply because of the hysteria over gender ideology. Queer Marxism is to blame for this new threat to parents and their children.

Teachers, healthcare professionals, and Internet influencers have been steadily convincing kids of all ages that gender is fluid; that they can switch anytime they feel like it. They’re being taught that all sex is morally equivalent, and that there’s no right or wrong in this department, only hedonism — whatever makes them feel good. Some healthcare professionals are even saying that puberty blockers are good for children. It’s madness.

In this gender ideology, what’s considered “wrong” is any parental interference to the brainwashing of their children. This is right in line with Marxist ideology, which twists the biblical advice from the Book of Proverbs: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” The state, in the form of the medical and educational establishments, is training up our children so they won’t be able to see through the thorough brainwashing they underwent in their youth.

Gender ideology and the undue influence it’s having over our society is leading to increasingly harmful practices on our younglings. Our children are not alright.

There has been story after story from blue states such as California about parents having their children taken away by Child Protective Services for fear that these gender-confused young ones might commit suicide if they are forced to continue to live under the roof of non-affirming parents.

This happened to a mother in Chicago. Her daughter was convinced she was transgender at the tender age of 12. This mother felt like she was coerced into forgoing custody in exchange for the state not to medically transition her daughter. It’s been three years, and she is only allowed to communicate with her daughter via snail mail. This is outrageous. Children are being told that their parents are their greatest enemy, when the real evil comes from those who are poisoning their minds with gender-confused gibberish.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health Richard (Rachel) Levine has said that puberty blockers are perfectly safe and even needed for gender-confused children. “Gender-affirming care is lifesaving, medically necessary, age appropriate, and a critical tool for healthcare providers,” he recently asserted. This idea is ludicrous. As the pushback has gotten more ferocious, more and more disturbing evidence is coming to light about just how wrong Levine is.

A puberty blocker administered to girls going through “transition” just had a warning issued against it by the FDA. In young girls ages 5-12, there have been instances of brain swelling and tumor-like growth called pseudotumor cerebri. This has serious side effects ranging from headaches and vomiting to vision disturbances and vision loss.

This crazy train of gender ideology is leading our children off the rails. It’s up to us, the voting and cognizant adults, to try to right this for them before it’s too late.
