Pushing Back on the Transgender Agenda 0:00 Hello. I'm Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council and host of Washington Watch. Thanks for tuning in. Every day, we offer a biblical perspective on the news as well as insightful interviews with elected0:11 leaders, newsmakers, and culture experts. We have a great program planned for you today, but first, get up to speed on the top headlines with Washington Stan's news brief.0:26 Welcome to the Washington Stan news brief. I'm Casey Harper bringing you today's big stories. The transgender agenda is on its back foot after the first year of the Trump administration. Several major hospital0:38 networks have announced they will no longer perform gender transition surgeries on kids. That came after an executive order in January from president Donald Trump banning the gender mutilation of0:50 children. In fact, federal law enforcement threatened to investigate hospitals that continued the practice. But is it gone for good? On an episode of the outstanding podcast1:02 earlier this year, I sat down with Ali Maher of the American Parents Coalition. She explained that money is a major motive here.1:10 A handful of hospitals across the country are being investigated for their continued, gender reassignment surgeries or, prescriptions of puberty blockers, etcetera, in1:22 the time that's fallen post executive order on on these issues. It's something that our organization has been pushing really hard as well. We did a campaign called
1:34 stop the docs. We have a lot of really good information on stop the docs dot com if you are interested in seeing if any of your like local hospitals are are participating in these sort of gender surgeries and it's based
1:46 on, insurance submissions. And I think the point that's really important here is especially if you're speaking with friends or people in your community who may be a little bit more
1:58 left or center left who want to like you alluded to earlier pretend that not fighting the transgender argument is, kind or compassionate. I
2:10 think we need to to poke those people in a nice way, to ask them to follow the money on this. And so when you look at the insurance submissions for these hospitals,
2:22 they are making a ton of money off of these children and this again we're today talking about pediatric. Really? So this is sub 18. We did a campaign a little while ago where we
2:34 focused on 4 of the the worst and just these 4, it was Minnesota, Minnesota Children's, Cincinnati, Pennsylvania, and then, Washington DC. These
2:46 4 alone
2:46 submitted over
2:47 1000000 dollars to their multimillion dollar medical industry and then the the thing
2:58 that's most insidious is, of course, preying on these young kids, but it's creating a patient for life. Mhmm. So you are starting this pipeline of kids at 6, 7, 8 years old where
3:10 6.
3:11 It's as young as 3.
3:14 Well, Ali went on to explain that as you might expect, parents can make all the difference on this issue.
3:21 1 piece of advice that we talk about quite a bit is parents really need to be comfortable with conversations and being the ones hopefully to introduce them
3:33 for the first time.
3:35 Yes.
3:36 Because if your child brings that home, they've already heard a point of view which they are more inclined to believe because they don't necessarily think that a teacher, a coach,
3:48 a friend is going to tell them a lie. In the same way that most kids especially younger ones don't necessarily think that their parents are lying
3:56 to them.
3:57 So being the person who introduces these ideas even when they're, controversial, it's a uncomfortable thing that we have to be comfortable with so that you can be the
4:09 1 to have those types of conversations with your kids and they're hearing it from you first with the backdrop of your value system, and they're not getting it first from someone who doesn't have their best interest at
4:20 heart.
4:21 While the Trump administration has pushed back on the trans agenda, it's not completely gone. In fact, a new administration could easily revive it. And the administration's efforts to remove trans ideology from the
4:33 school system have been delayed and held up in court, which means this issue is far from settled. And that's today's news. Check back in with us next time on the Washington Stand news brief.Show more
