School Policies Hiding Gender Transitions 0:10 Welcome to another session of walking through the book reversed from culturally woke to biblically awake. We are now on chapter 20. It's closely related to the previous chapter,0:22 chapter 19. Chapter 19 was on transgenderism. Chapter 20 is the social contagion of transgenderism. I mentioned to you, in the back of the book of0:34 my acknowledgements, quite a team of people who helped in writing this book. They helped in significant ways. They processed with me what truth was. They, did writing. They did research.0:46 And and so I'm really indebted to this team. The 1 1 of those who helped me with this particular chapter who persuaded me that we need to have a separate chapter on the social contagion of transgenderism,0:58 separate from the chapter on transgenderism, was my own mayor, Mayor Bill Wells of the town that I live in, San Elkhon, California. And he is a he's a trained counselor himself,1:11 and he recommended that we have a 2nd chapter on this topic. This on just the social contagion itself. Why is that? Well, we'll find out in just a moment. If you live1:23 in a state like I live in, in California, you can have a child going to public school whose name is Johnny, but when he gets to school, he calls himself Sally.1:35 The school helps him have clothes or provide clothing for him to change at school. He can live that life for a long time. The parents intentionally are kept out1:47 of the information. They know nothing about this. The teachers intentionally will lie. This is legal to do this. And if the parents, when they find out,1:59 object to this, the state can step in and in numbers of cases have stepped in, taken the children away from the parents. That's how crassic2:11 it has has become at this point. Now what on earth is this whole phenomenon of transgenderism? In previous decades, it was suffered primarily by boys asExplosion and Historical Parallels 2:23 opposed to girls. And it was pretty rare. It was about 1 in in 10000. But along about 20 18 or so, 1 British, official2:35 reported a 4000 percent increase in the phenomenon of transgenderism. What is going on here that would cause this? There's a lesson we need to learn from2:47 history, and that was in the 19 eighties when bulimia and anorexia. Anorexia was just spreading across the country. There were a number of celebrities reporting heaven. The best known was2:59 Karen Carpenter, who succumbed to anorexia, died at age 32 in 19 83. But anorexia or bulimia were were spreading like3:10 wildfire in high schools, among them females, and high schools and colleges and sororities, dormitories, and, with with catastrophic results.3:22 And then as time passed, all of a sudden, it lowered, In the words of 1 thinker, it said, the social contagion burned itself out. What went on? Were all3:34 these people suddenly having that actual sickness and disease? No. There was something about the nature of the social contagion. In other words, the social expectations to doing3:46 this. What was also interesting is in the case of transgenderism, we note that, most of the females that struggle with this are from upper upper middle class3:58 white homes. And girls coming from socially progressive families make up 70 percent of those who are involved in transgenderism.4:10 Almost 87 percent of these females are involved heavily in social media, which is a contributory factor to it. Now it used to4:22 be counselors, when they dealt with anorexia or bulimia, they didn't affirm the condition. They worked to overcome the condition. But now present day, secularists, humanists, therapists4:34 are taught they're supposed to affirm transgenderism instead of overcoming it. In some cases, even just keeping that from the parents. So what are we to do withProtecting Children: Action Steps 4:46 this phenomenon, this social contagion of transgenderism? Number 1, if your children are in public school, and I hope they're not, but if they are, then demand,4:58 insist on full medical records being given to you. That's not easy today to do in certain states in today's climate. And, use legal recourse if you must.5:11 The most important thing would be remove your children from that kind of a context and put them in a Christian distinctly Christian environment. But if they're in the public school, you're dealing with this, you need to5:22 absolutely demand and insist. You need to hate to be so blunt. You need to lawyer up and try to protect your children from those who would take advantage of you. I've5:34 dealt with just enough, not a lot, but just enough to know that when a mother mother and a father will fight for their child in this situation, this is a winnable5:46 war. And, little Johnny who called himself Sally can return to be called Johnny again. I know of the situations that are in my mind right now as I as5:58 I'm talking to you at this point. Be patient, mom and dad, with this process. Be grounded in God's word. Be persistent because your child or your grandchildPrayer Against Deception 6:10 is at stake in this. We're trying to help us all when we talk a topic like this to go from being culturally woke to biblically awake.6:23 Let us pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray deception will have no influence in the church. I ask that deceivers will be muted and muzzled and6:34 that they will be set free from the spirits that would use and manipulate them. May they understand that all truth is centered around your word. We thank6:46 you and pray that Jesus will remain the focal point of our churches and the foundation of our teaching. Father, let no 1 be sidetracked by false doctrine that would prevent us from living6:58 a fruitful and effective Christian life, a life that would glorify you and fulfill your will and purposes for our time here on earth. Protect7:11 your body, Lord Jesus, and we thank you for giving us the Holy Spirit that enables and empowers us to do so. In Jesus' name, amen.7:22 We hope you enjoyed the video.
