Lawmakers in Alabama advanced a bill that would make it a felony to provide hormone treatments, puberty blockers and gender reassignment surgery to minor-age children. Violators would face up to 10 years in prison.
This is a necessary provision to save America’s youth from the abuse of the left.
The LGBTQ movement — which has now morphed into the LGBTQIA movement and counting — has changed from a campaign for equal rights under existing law to one of lunacy.
Children are not capable of making adult decisions on their own. That’s one of the things that makes them children — they’re immature, incapable of seeing the long term, unable to make wise decisions about their futures, unequipped with the mental capacity and life experience to analyze all sides of an issue and come to proper conclusions. They’re children.
That’s why God made adults — mothers and fathers, ideally: to protect the children, to raise the children in the ways they should go.
Taking a little girl and telling her she can become a boy if she just takes this medical treatment is abuse, pure and simple. Taking a young boy and playing into his imaginations about becoming a girl and pretending that he can indeed do so if he just goes under the surgical knife is abuse — again, pure and simple.
Children aren’t equipped to make this decision.
Even adults who make this decision aren’t playing with full decks.
“Transexuals’ and sex-change operations are receiving a great deal of attention,” the National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine wrote back in 2015, at a time when the LGBTQ movement was gathering steam.
“Young people,” NLM’s PubMed Central went on, “may seek treatment for transsexual attractions at an early age even though these attractions may go away on their own.”
In other words: When you’re young, you’re still developing an identity. Sexual attractions aren’t necessarily the same as sexual identity. Sexual thoughts and lusts aren’t exactly indicative of identity.
To put another way: God doesn’t make mistakes.
Again, from the NLM’s PubMed Central: “Psychological conflicts have been identified in these patients and their parents and may be successfully treated.”
Get that?
Transgenderism is a psychological problem.
“There are serious risks associated with sex change,” the site went on. “They include the risk of depressive illness and suicide. Physicians and mental-health professionals should know these risks and the regrets of those who have been through sex-change operations. These patients and their families also should be informed of other treatment options.”
Regrets.
Nothing says regretful like a young child who was enticed by lunatic adults into taking puberty blockers — and then facing a life as a lost soul, depressed, maybe mocked, perhaps suicidal.
The left would disregard such realities in favor of advancing an agenda that, at root, rebels against God because the left, in all its secular, humanist, atheist and wicked form, wants a world where there are no moral restraints — and nothing casts off restraints like shedding a God-ordained gender assignment, right?
Alabama is fighting this madness.
The American Civil Liberties Union conversely, is fighting Alabama.
If Gov. Kay Ivey signs the protection for children into law, the ACLU has pledged to fight it in court.
“We make decisions in this [legislative] body all the time that are to protect children from making decisions that could permanently harm them,” said Republican Rep. Wes Allen, Reuters reported.
Yes.
And more states need to do the same.
Allowing children to decide medical treatments that hold lifelong consequences is irresponsible, abusive and clearly wrong. That’s obvious. And the fact such an obvious statement has become political, weaponized and used as a tool to advance a psychological deviance just underscores the degradation of America’s culture, the lunacy of the left and the willingness of Democrats and special interest Democratic Party funders to use, abuse and exploit the youngest and most vulnerable — the children — for personal gain.
