Gender ideology is insidious. Read the entire essay here.
“Jeannette Cooper never imagined she’d lose custody of her child. The 44-year-old lifelong educator always considered herself a loving and responsible mother to her daughter Sophia. But when, at age 12, Sophia suddenly claimed to be transgender, Jeannette was skeptical. Sophia had never exhibited signs of gender dysphoria. In fact, Sophia exhibited many more traditionally feminine behaviors and preferences than Jeannette ever had. To Jeannette, it didn’t make sense.
But Sophia insisted, not only that she was trans, but that she was ‘unsafe’ around Jeannette. What followed was an almost Kafkaesque series of court proceedings and therapy sessions in which Jeannette’s ex-husband, lawyers, therapists and other individuals and institutions supposedly concerned with Sophia’s best interests worked to erode Jeannette’s most basic parenting rights. Nearly three years later, Jeannette can’t even visit with the daughter she loves. She lives less than ten minutes away, but can only communicate with Sophia by U.S. Mail. All because she insists that Sophia is a girl.
Finally ready to tell her story, Jeannette is speaking out to warn parents how gender ideology has become the latest weapon in parental custody battles, severing one of the most fundamental bonds in life under the guise of protecting children.”
People and institutions go to such lengths to embrace lies and move away from the reality we all share. :(
Children have endless imaginations.
That’s what makes them so incredible. They play in worlds that don’t exist. They have imaginary friends. They pretend to be something they’re not all the time. But sometimes adults have to step in.
If your child, grandchild, niece or nephew is playing in the backyard while pretending to be a dinosaur then please, play along. But if they tell you they were born in the wrong body…that’s when playtime ends.
And that’s when you step in.
No one should be encouraging children to make life altering choices that have real world consequences. No one should be giving that control to a child. No one should be going along with that masquerade. Sometimes it’s hard to be a kid. Sometimes it’s hard to be an adult. We don’t allow children to change who they are because it’s funner that way.
Playtime doesn’t last forever.
But puberty blockers, mutilating a child’s body and sentencing them to life long medicalization does.
This isn’t a game. This isn’t playtime. Stop taking advantage of children.
Stop using their imaginations against them.
Leave the kids alone.

As radical leftist ideology has encroached on everyday affairs and overstepped its bounds, ever increasing its demands on its adherents while silencing its critics, we’ve been actively discouraged in malicious, insidious ways from thinking for ourselves as well as having a sense of levity about… well, anything anymore. Kids can’t even celebrate Halloween and Valentine’s Day in some schools anymore, because the mere notion that a single child may come from a family that doesn’t celebrate those holidays at home is enough to take it away from everyone in the name of so-called “inclusion.”
Give me a break.
Life was meant to be festive. Why must all festivities now be covered in pink-and-blue flags and leather bondage or else banished as heresy? *My irreverence here is paradoxically a manifestation of my reverence for life and for all things truly worthy of it: that which is good, real, true, and right.
It’s about not worshipping false idols, as they say in some religions. I say this as a spiritual-but-not-religious person who values the sacred and believes in the virtue of possessing a sense of sanctity. Radical ideologues have established new altars and tried to force us to worship their gods. They build their temples around us, then tell us we are in their temples, and tell us how to behave there. Nothing but the utmost seriousness will do. But this madhouse is no house of worship for me.
So I will poke holes in it with irreverent humor until it comes tumbling down around us and we can once again see the great awe-inspiring sky up above.”
In light of Sometherapist’s words, please feel free to share her memes widely. Laughter is a potent tool in dealing with gender ideology and those who want to bend society to its will.
