Protecting Children From the Transgender Agenda

Cindy Dawson

The government is increasingly taking the side of transgender activists to subvert the influence of parents. For example, 21 states have policies requiring teachers to assign new names and pronouns to trans-identifying students without parental notice or consent. (emphasis mine)

Joe Carter, The Gospel Coalition, September 15, 2022

Do you know what your child’s teacher believes? Is that teacher a trans activist? You better find out. Trans activists believe that sex and gender are two completely different things. And gender trumps “sex assigned at birth”. In other words, gender is “how you identify”. So it doesn’t matter if you were born male (or female). The thing that matters is how you identify now.

This recently promoted ideology is ludicrous and dangerous. It has no scientific basis, yet the U.S. Department of Education issued a strict policy on the promotion and affirmation of so-called transgender ideology. Click to access ED-DCL-Fact-Sheet.pdf

I hope you will at least scan this document. It explains how schools are required to treat transgender students from pre-school through university. It requires schools to give restroom and locker room access according to their gender identity. Schools must use the name and pronouns the student chooses while keeping the child’s legal name in a segregated and confidential file. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I hope you will at least scan this document!

These facts will shock you:

Historically, gender dysphoria only affected a small percentage of children, less than 0.01 percent, and almost all the cases were boys. Today, the U.S. has seen an estimated 1,000 percent rise in gender dysphoria over the past decade, and the UK has reported a more than 4,000 percent rise in girls demanding gender “treatments.” And 70 percent of “sex reassignment” surgeries were done on girls.

If that doesn’t scare you, it should! What is going on? You have to wonder how this ideology could have captured our children’s psyche so quickly. Some have suggested that the influence of teachers and TicTok is responsible. Other experts attribute this phenomenon to peer contagion, a form of social contagion—the thesis that attitudes, beliefs, and behavior can spread through populations as if they were somehow infectious. (Joe Carter)

 This is the social contagion thesis; that sociocultural phenomena can spread through, and leap between, populations more like outbreaks of measles or chicken pox than through a process of rational choice.”

Paul Marsden, Research Psychologist

Consider your own youthful behavior. Did you dress like your friends? Style your hair like your friends? Did you adopt the morals of your friends? Did you copy their behaviors? Listen to the same music? Did you smoke because your friends did? Well, that list goes on and on.

I know that when I reflect on my own youthful behavior, I realize I pretty much just followed the crowd. Didn’t you? Don’t expect your kids to be any different. Unless you are proactive, they will be highly influenced by society, their teachers, and friends.

One thing I know, there is a powerful force pushing this agenda. It didn’t just happen.

As parents, what can we do to protect our children? What does God’s Word teach us?

#1 Be knowledgeable and informed. Don’t think it could never happen in your child’s school. Don’t be naive.

 “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.  For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.” Romans 16:17-18 ESV (emphasis mine)

#2 God calls us to be holy. That means to be separate, set apart from the world. We should love our neighbor, but don’t expect to fit in with those who love the world.

“Be holy, because I am holy. … live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.” 1 Peter 1:17

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2

#3 Find ways for teens and younger children to be influenced by Christian adults, such as grandparents and Sunday School teachers.

 “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds … Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 11:18-19

 “Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” Deuteronomy 4:9 (emphasis mine)

#4 Know your child’s friends.

“Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Proverbs 13:20

“Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33

#5 Prayerfully consider removing your child from public school.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” James 1:5

Last Thoughts

Researching this topic has been shocking and disturbing. The genital mutilation of children is demonic and evil, especially when done without parental consent.

The purpose of this post is not to debate the legitimacy of transgender care. Instead, it is to warn parents of a growing danger and help equip them to protect their children against this movement which is being actively promoted by Teacher’s Unions, Universities, the corporate world, and the government.

“The Lord’s promises are pure,
    like silver refined in a furnace,
    purified seven times over.
Therefore, Lord, we know you will protect the oppressed,
    preserving them forever from this lying generation,
 even though the wicked strut about,
    and evil is praised throughout the land.” Psalm 12:6-8 NLT

In His Love, Cindy

    1. It makes me crazy, too! But then I remember, “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6) Thank you for commenting.

  3. A child should wait until they’re a mature adult before making life altering decisions. The brain’s prefrontal cortex, critical for making good decisions, isn’t even fully developed until you’re into your twenties. Teens are notorious for taking risks according to the social benefits with their peers, and never mind consequences.

  5. Cindy, my daughter recently put her two daughters in Christian school, and the difference it has made in them has been astounding. They’re happier, have better friendships, and are expressing their faith more. The older one just got baptized a few weeks ago! 🙂 ❤
    I served on the board of a Christian school some years ago. That job was both fulfilling and frustrating. The frustration came from hearing people's reasons for not sending their children to Christian school. "It's too expensive," public schools had bigger sports programs, etc. Parenting is hard, and we need to be in prayer every day for wisdom in our PRIORITIES. Private school can't compete economically with public schools and the money they rake in from taxes, but in the end, the souls of our children are all that matter.

    1. Annie, I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m so glad you’re grandchildren are doing so well. I’m afraid that American parents don’t believe our schools are going to really promote this ideology. The more I researched it, the more disturbed I became. Thanks for commenting. Blessings, my friend!

  6. Great Post Cindy! Couldn’t agree more. Believers need to be speaking the truth, but, it must come from a place of love just as your post is. Now more than ever we MUST display the fruit of the Spirit… But really enjoyed reading it. Many, many blessings to you…..Robin

  7. Thank you for your courage to speak out, we had home schooled our children now 35 and 44 years old. Our son is home schooling his children. Our son started out in public school in 1984 but we know it would be a bad choice when back then he was sent to the principal’s office at the age of 5 for objecting to the chart on evolution. The teacher could not handle the questions from a 5 year old. How different things are now.

    We have friends whose grand child was going to be taken away from the parent if they did not allow a gender change at the age of 11. We are praying and doing spiritual warfare for this child. You are correct we are in a spiritual battle and we need not grow weary, though it is hard at times. Thank you for your article

    1. The fact that the state can remove a child from their home for not allowing a gender change is just horrific! What has happened to our world?! Thank you for your encouraging words, Eileen. How can sane people stay quiet? God bless you, my friend.

    1. It’s important to know what is going on because much of this ideology is kept secret from parents. That is part of their strategy. Be sure to read the comments. Blessings, Funmi!

  10. We’re planning to homeschool, especially after the perversions I have seen coming out of schools as young preschool, which doesn’t get much younger (and inappropriate/evil) than that!

      1. Thank you! Mine is only 16 months old so I have time to plan! I do believe this trend will die down (as more people are regretting the permanent physical changes that come with “transitioning” and are speaking out), but I’ve lost all trust in the public school system. God help all these little kids who are being pushed into this right now.

  11. My wife’s ashes were buried this last Friday. Our older son considers himself non-binary and his son considers himself trans-woman. They were not invited, but they and my son’s wife all came, dressed in black (the only ones in the congregation – more costume than anything else). My older son refuses to allow me to talk to him and he to me. That was awkward. But what my younger son said was quite revealing. The trans-woman grandson acted and spoke like the vapid arrogant high school girls that everyone else hated. We agreed that he may be playing a role, but he has no idea what a woman is, thus he plays it poorly. Since I am not allowed to communicate, I can pray. Our younger son tries to keep communication lines open by avoiding pronouns altogether, hoping that showing love will turn them around. But I remain like the prodigal son’s father, praying and watching, hoping they come to their senses, and grieving more for them than for my wife who is in Heaven.

    1. Oh Mark, My heart breaks for you. I will certainly keep you and your family in my prayers.
      Father in Heaven, Keep Mark close by your side. Remind him of your love for him and his family. Nothing is too hard for you, Lord. I pray that you would break the bonds of deception and set them free. I pray that Mark’s love will prevail against the forces of evil. In Jesus’ name, Amen

  12. Whoa, this post is simple rage-bait. Trans children do not often get genital surgery btw. Sometimes they take puberty blockers or HRT, but often they take nothing and dress how they want and call themselves what they want. Really, what’s the harm in humoring them? Whether they want to act as the opposite gender or a cat. Just play along. The new gender expression could just be a phase, or it may not. Support them either way. Besides, any good private or Christian school will have the same standard of respect as public ones.

  13. This is not rage bait. It is a warning to parents who may not be aware of the trans agenda. I urge you to do some research since you don’t seem to believe the information I have provided.
    What’s the harm in humoring them? Really?! Parents have a responsibility to raise their children to follow Jesus and treasure God’s Word, the Bible. My post was written for those parents trying to do just that.

  14. This agenda is so absurd. There’s no way a toddler would even know what “transgender” means. These kids are being pushed/tricked/confused and it will cause them more harm in the long run.

    I was in a Walgreens store last month and saw a display of “Pride” products for children (stuffed animals, etc.). A little walked over to the area and started playing with one of the stuffed animals. He was around 3 or 4 years old; there’s no way that he could’ve understood what he was looking at as far as the “Pride” colors. Kids may see those colors and think it’s pretty. His mom came over and hopefully took the toy away. It’s ridiculous how they’re coming so hard at children with this nonsense.
