January Littlejohn and her husband were stunned when they discovered their daughter had changed her gender at school. Influenced by her friends, the daughter suddenly expressed an interest in LGBT media and said she wanted to change her gender. January, a licensed mental health professional, was prepared to help her daughter through this confusing time. What she did not know is that her daughter's school had already affirmed her daughter's "transition" and made a plan for her to change genders at school without telling her parents at all. When schools think that students have privacy from their parents, life-changing decisions can be made without input from the parents who love and care for their children more than anyone. The good news, as January's story shows, is that parents can fight back and defend their children and their rights.

Gender confusion is sweeping through a generation of young people. Radical activists are pushing to have young children decide their own gender and undergo life-altering procedures and take hormones with unknown risks. This dangerous practice is now being advanced at the highest levels of medicine, government, and education. Many young people who transitioned are now telling their stories and warning others about the dangers they were not told. David Bacon is someone who barely survived an attempted gender transition. At 18, David became a woman named Lisa and took hormones that nearly cost him his life. He is courageously sharing his experience so that other young people are not deceived.
