Recent studies have shown that the number of transgender kids has doubled in the last five years. As of June 2022, an estimated 300,000 teenagers in the U.S. identify as transgender, which is 1.4% of the population.
“Pray. This is a hard, heart-wrenching, unthinkable topic. You will likely learn things you did not want to know. We are approaching this topic with a balance of careful words, yet with enough description to clearly share with you what is happening to our children. This issue needs much prayer, but also strong voices who can expose and stand against the abuse.”

Excerpts:
Gender Dysphoria is a thing. Gender Identity is not. Dr. Paul McHugh, psychiatrist and Director of the Department of Behavioral Science at Johns Hopkins Hospital challenged psychiatry colleagues who were performing these kinds of surgeries on adults to conduct follow-up research to sex-change operations. A Comprehensive 30-year study in 2011, concluding that patients who undergo sex reassignment surgery are at higher risk for suicide, attempted suicide, and criminal behavior.
Dr. Michael Laidlaw, an endocrinologist from California, is one who is bucking the trend, and loudly. He shared at a recent panel discussion hosted by The Heritage Foundation, that “there is no objective test to diagnose this, yet we are giving very harmful therapies on the basis of no objective diagnosis.” That means there is no blood test, no brain scan, no genetic testing that is done before choosing to declare a child “transgender” and begin physical treatment, as reported by Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post.
A searchable database with transhealthcare.org includes clinics and “gender affirming” surgeons in every state and in 48 participating nations. There are currently 215 residencies for pediatricians in transgender protocol and therapies.
If anything is clear from the push to transgender our kids, it is that our public schools have become the primary battleground. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that since legislating prayer out of the classroom and insulating schools against anything promoting religion, the door has swung wide open to all kinds of ungodly ideology and influence.
