What do you do if you are the parent of a child who believes they were born in the wrong body? What if your kid doesn’t fit the stereotypical behavior of their sex — your daughter is a tomboy, your son is effeminate — and a teacher or school counselor suggests they might be transgender? What if your teenager, uncomfortable with their changing body at puberty, says they will harm themselves — or worse — if they are not allowed to medically transition?
A growing number of parents are facing such questions in 2022. Desperate for answers, they are turning to the experts: the doctors, psychologists,

Kids grow up slowly. Quit rushing them. They get confused by this pedogrooming and gender identity brainwashing. Pray with them and ask God to reveal their purpose in life.

Re: #2 - I was thinking along the same lines, wondering how humanity ever made it to 2022 without democrat communists and perverts running the government of the most powerful nation the earth has ever seen - before it started decaying from within.

I was a tomboy. My parents didn't get all upset when I refused to play with dolls and wanted a microscope instead. I was not at all comfortable during puberty, but I got through it. I'm now an old woman and in some ways, am still not a girly type. I'd rather read and watch thrillers and I don't like the Hallmark Channel and I hate to shop. But I'm a woman, I love my children and grandchildren and I pray they don't get caught up in the madness.

I kid just likes what they like, none of it has anything to do with gender or sex, that it something groomers make up.

Shouldn't the XX or XY chromosomes a person is born with be the overwhelming guide in these matters. To be violated only in the rarest exceptional cases based on solid 'evidence'.

The transgender nonsense is being pushed by these "experts" because they are perverts themselves and nuttier and more confused than most of their patients.

This cultural issue is the one that disturbs me the most because it affects vulnerable children. No child is safe even if you believe you are in a deep red community where most of the people have their heads screwed on straight. As long as the internet is accessible to children they are at risk especially if they are a little quirky and do not fully fit in with the rest of their peers. Those kids that live on the fringe of the friend group are especially vulnerable because most of them do want to fit in. Kids are encouraged to be accepting and supportive and most kids are, especially when it comes to this issue because like it or not, the activists have created an atmosphere that makes it clear to refuse to go long with it will bring swift and sure ostracization. Our kids are being bullied by their peers and by some teachers who will get in their face if they do not celebrate this act of barbarism.
This is a toxic situation and it is changing how we deal with an obviously serious mental issue that these activist believe have one and only one solution and that is powerful drugs never before used at this age and for this exact purpose before and then there is the rush to surgeries which can only be described as horrific. No child should ever have the right to demand this treatment. As soon as they present as transgender, they should immediately be put into regular counseling with professionals who understand that there are underlying issues that must be addressed. If these children want to dress differently, let them. However, in no way should they be presented with powerful drugs that will alter their bodies and minds forever. And surgery should not be allowed until these kids are of legal age to make such a decision.
The problem that this path presents is that the left has decided to politicize it. They have called it a human rights issue. It is very similar to abortion in the way they approach it. Therefore, this issue like abortion is going to be a family issue which means that it is something that parents are going to have to deal with first. They are going to have to have a frank discussion with their children at an age that seems unthinkable to them. Unfortunately, the culture is imposing itself on our families at an earlier and earlier age because of the internet. The influence of leftist issues is everywhere around us and children are the most vulnerable. Please, keep your children as far away from the internet as long as you can. Be diligent. Be aware. Most of all, get your noses out of your own phones. Show your children that technology does not rule you. Protect your children like they are going out into a world of pedophiles everyday because when they turn on that device, they are opening the door to anyone with any agenda and these people are evil, savvy, relentless, and want your children.
The most important gift you can give your child is an opportunity to learn about God. Take them to church. Make it the core of who you are as a family. Teach them that there is a God who created them, loves them and wants to guide them through life. Pray for them every single day. They are walking into a future that looks dark and forbidding. Give them a home filled with love, hope and faith that will serve them well.
My heart aches especially for my young grandchildren because this world is so dangerous and it appears that they will never experience the childhood that most of us enjoyed. I can say without hesitation that my parents’ commitment to giving me a Christ-centered home was the best gift I could have ever received. It has given me a roadmap that has been indispensable and is one that I eagerly have passed on to my children and grandchildren. I can’t imagine doing life without Jesus Christ as my Savior.

In the good old days before woke insanity struck, I recall the words 'tomboy' and 'sissy' used as pronouns for certain identification then you could grow out of it. Now, not so much it has to be diagnosed and promoted by woke identity crazies for political gains. We have a mentally sick society.

We used to have religious guidelines which civilized children. Now the demons have hold of children and their world view.
