Waiting Until Kindergarten to Assign Your Child's Gender Identity (Trigger Warning)

Yet more filth from the Religious Right. Remember, these people consider themselves SO aligned with God that they feel they have the right to construct laws that affect ALL of our lives regardless of our beliefs.

http://www.christianpost.com/news/waiting-until-kindergarten-to-assign-your-childs-gender-identity-177694/

What will be the next step in the evolution of the gender revolution? Well, try to imagine a day when parents wait until their child goes to kindergarten before assigning their gender identity.

"It will never happen," you say. Don't be so sure. Gender-neutral parenting is already seen by some parents as the only fair way to raise a child these days.

These headlines over the past few years reveal a shocking development:

"5-Yr-Old Child Given OK to Start Sex Change in Australia"

"US Parents Accept Child's Transgender Identity by Age Three"

"Furious Parents Slam 'Damaging' BBC Sex Change Show Aimed at 6-Year Olds"

"Child, 4, World's Youngest-Ever 'Sex Change' Patient"

"Gender-Neutral Parenting Ignores Science: Brains of Boys and Girls Are Different"

"Why I'm Raising My Kids to Be Gender Neutral"

"Gender-Neutral Parenting: Letting Kids Choose"

These headlines may sound like a science fiction plot or even a horror movie, but it's not make-believe. Some little children today are actually being led down such a pernicious path.

...

You and I cannot begin to fathom the confusion within the heart and mind of a young child whose parents refuse to affirm their God-given gender. These parents create an atmosphere where an immature mind is left to fend off the wolves of gender misinformation.

...
What chance does a child have in the midst of such an abusive onslaught?

Child abuse takes a number of forms, and sometimes it is more psychological than physical. When a child is deprived of the truth about his or her gender, all hell breaks loose in the child's self-perception. And when you mess with a young mind in such a nefarious manner, there is a high probability the child will never recover.
..
In reality, females have an XX pair of sex chromosomes, whereas males have an XY pair. Science confirms what Scripture reveals: "Male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:27)

It is only when children are told the truth about their gender that they become grounded in reality, rather than in the latest fads and fetishes of the society around them. In our day, "gender identity" is viewed by some as a choice you get to make depending upon your mood. It's just a "sense" that rises up within a person at some point in his or her life.

...
Any departure from God's design is just a tragic attempt to pretend feelings and emotions carry more weight than chromosomes and biology.

When actors and actresses finish filming a movie, they get to go back to their real lives. In the dark world of gender-neutral parenting, however, children don't know how to get back to their true identity once their parents have finished editing their trendy homegrown project.

Remember this when faced with the idea of "what's the harm" with regards to other people's religious beliefs---because their beliefs are HATEFUL and HURTFUL. To consider the parents of a trans child "abusive" simply because they are not closed minded to the idea of gender identity issues is disgusting. That these people claim to have a higher moral authority based on God's Will? it's sickening. We need to fight and oppose these transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic bigots at every opportunity
