Protecting and defending children from radical gender ideology
Last week, people took to the streets of Washington to fight to protect their children from the toxicity of gender ideology. Standing at the steps of the building where some of the country’s most important legal decisions have been argued, a crowd gathered as the Supreme Court heard arguments for United States v. Skrmetti. This case will decide whether a Tennessee law banning transgender medical procedures for children under 18 violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Many mothers gathered at the Supreme Court steps to protest the heinous acts of transgender surgeries on children so young. It’s a profoundly passionate battle for them and one they refuse to surrender. They realize the high stakes of the ideological struggle, despite what should seem as simple, common sense that young children should not be allowed to receive permanent surgeries that could alter their genders, harming them for the rest of their lives.
Yet, society has been corrupted by a radical gender ideology movement that prioritizes normalizing transgender transitions at the expense of normalcy and common sense to protect innocent children. However, these mothers refuse to back down and heroically defy this toxic cultural movement and have vowed to do everything in their power to eradicate it to the ash heaps of history.
The issue hit home with Jamie Hinkle, one of the mothers in attendance, because she has three daughters. She couldn’t imagine living in a world where someone told her children they were born in the wrong bodies. It’s absurd even to think that some academic, doctor, or educated professional could spread such a dangerous suggestion. Yet, this is the world in which we live today. Hinkle knows this, which is why she attended the Stop the Harm Rally last week.
“I stand with those parents, physicians, detransitoners, advocates, and elected representatives brave enough to call out the lies of so-called ‘gender-affirming care,” Hinkle told me. “I have three daughters. I would never tell them they were born in the wrong body. I stood with moms from six states, heartbroken and angry, hearing the stories of men and women who have experienced unimaginable pain and betrayal. Yet, I left empowered by their bravery.
“We will not stay silent while children are harmed by irreversible treatments and surgeries,” Hinkle said.
