Today's podcast is a recording of a live panel on gender confusion and how moms (and dads!) can protect their kids from harmful messages and manipulation. One of the greatest threats facing young people today is radical gender ideology, and parents cannot ignore this issue. In media, schools, and even health care, children and teens are being pressured to explore their gender identity. Far from helping them, these confusing messages (like 70 different genders to choose from) are harmful to children. Our panel includes January Littlejohn, a mom of a young girl whose school hid her intention to transitiont from her parents; Attorney Mark Trammel, the executive director and general counsel to the Center for American Liberty; and Laura Perry Smalts, a woman who transitioned to male before an encounter with Christ that prompted her to detransition. You will learn so much from our panelists' personal stories and expertise.
