The Elephant in the Room-Safety!
From Micah Clark at American Family Association of Indiana:
Keep It Coming
On Monday I sent out an email about two bills that need your support in the Indiana Senate. (HB 1134 would be a good third bill to support protecting children from radical indoctrination. It has a hearing this afternoon.)
Please keep the calls and emails in support of HB 1122 which better protects children and families from the secondary harmful effects of sexually oriented businesses. The bill expands the sensitive use zone surrounding childcare centers, schools, and other child facilities.
The other bill I mentioned was HB 1041 and the need to expand the language to include protecting collegiate sports. More on that bill next.
The Elephant in the Locker Room
Last week the Indiana Senate Education Committee took several hours of testimony on House Bill 1041. They should vote on this “Fairness in Girls’ Sports Act” this afternoon. The bill prohibits biological males from participating in competitive girls’ school sports.
The far left, comprising mostly of transgender activists, is mobilized and very angry. The testimony is, frankly, quite sad. I’ll catch flak for saying this, but we have people with serious mental confusion causing them not to seek mental help to change their psychological issues, but instead to transform their bodies with risky drugs, severe surgeries, and clothing to match their mental state. They then demand that everyone else abide by their illusion.
People are free to live as they choose, but do they have the right to demand that everyone else participate in their fantasy. How far does this go? The bill simply seeks to eliminate unfair competition for girls who in some cases may have sports scholarships hanging in the balance.
Yet, there is another matter here no one wants to address. If a school swimming pool, basketball court, or track field is not deemed to be gender-specific because of our postmodern, anything goes, worldview, then by what logic can we keep locker rooms and showers gender specific?
One of the high-profile cases of this involves swimmer Lia Thomas of the University of Pennsylvania, who competed as a male for three years before joining the girls’ team. Lia looks like a girl in some ways, but still has male genitalia and is attracted to women. Multiple female swimmers have complained about his use of the girls’ showers and locker rooms where his parts are sometimes exposed.
This is cultural insanity. It places girls at risk. As one swimmer told a newspaper, “The school was so focused on making sure Lia was okay and doing everything they possibly could for her, that they didn’t even think about the rest of us. It has affected all of us way more than it’s affected her.” She also noted that most of the girls’ team is scared to speak out about their discomfort for fear of being labeled “transphobic.’”
Let’s hope and pray that the Indiana Senate stands to protect girls and passes HB 1041 and that they protect girls in collegiate sports too.
A Regretful, Risky Surgery
A review of more than 100 studies of post-operative transexuals by the University of Birmingham in England finds that there is no scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgeries are helpful or clinically effective.
Researchers conclude that there is no proof that sex change operations help people with a gender identity disorder. Many people who go through such a radical physical change based upon a mental problem remain troubled and even suicidal.
Chris Hyde, the director of the University of Birmingham’s Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility (ARIF) explained, “There is huge uncertainty over whether changing someone’s sex is a good or a bad thing. While no doubt great care is taken to ensure that appropriate patients undergo gender reassignment, there’s still a large number of people who have the surgery but remain traumatized – often to the point of committing suicide.”
According to a transgender activist group, there are around 5,000 post-operative transsexuals in the United Kingdom.
A Regretful, Risky Study
If you need any proof that the US Federal government is too big and a giant waster of taxpayer’s money, this should convince you of how far we have strayed from our founders’ vision of limited government. (You may not need proof after hearing last week of the Biden Administration’s plan for free crack pipes for drug users.)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent $8 million dollars to create a phone app that gathers information on the sex lives of gay and transexual boys as young as 13 who have sex with adult men.
Such boys download the app and report what they are doing sexually with men. The app has games and activities that supposedly help these boys limit their “risk” in sexual situations. The NIH claims it’s an HIV prevention app but it sounds more like a tutorial.
There are numerous outrages about this, not the least being that our government is eagerly recording details of sex crimes without going after the sick adult predators involved. (This reminds me of some of Alfred Kinsey’s vile experiments on children.)
If you have the stomach for it, you can read more about this depravity here.
For the Love of History
If you enjoy these weekly emails, I am guessing that you may also be a fan of history. There is someone you may want to check out and follow on Youtube. He is called “The History Guy.” He has dozens upon dozens of short fascinating 8–18-minute videos of forgotten history, “that deserve to be remembered.” The host is extremely good, entertaining, and he’s not political. This could be a great resource for teachers and home school moms, but I often binge-watch them just for fun.
A few days ago, I watched one on the election of 1876. If you think January 6th was really “an insurrection” then your perspective is wildly outdated. What happened after that election is astonishing. You can watch that video, and subscribe to The History Guy, here.
