Conservative Families Are Under Attack: The Latest In Biden’s Gender Agenda
The Biden administration is once again pushing its left-leaning agenda, this time by proposing a rule that would impact foster families and their ability to address the complex issue of gender identity in children. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), recently released a proposal that, in our view, infringes on the rights and beliefs of conservative families.
According to the proposal, foster families would be required to “affirm” a child’s gender confusion, embracing a set of guidelines for children who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The proposal makes it clear that any provider who attempts to offer alternative perspectives or support to children regarding their sexual orientation or gender identity would be considered unsuitable.
Moreover, the proposal cites the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to argue against any efforts aimed at helping children accept their biological sex or heterosexuality. It claims that such efforts are “inappropriate, ineffective, and harmful practices,” effectively silencing any dissenting viewpoints on this matter.
The proposal also mandates that foster families must use a child’s chosen name and pronouns, and allow them to dress in a manner they believe reflects their self-identified gender identity. Failure to comply with these requirements would result in the family being deemed unsuitable for placing LGBTQ+ children.
Additionally, the proposal recommends providing a range of services and activities tailored specifically to the needs of gender-confused foster children. This includes access to behavioral health supports, interaction with LGBTQ+ mentors and peers, participation in affinity groups, and connection to LGBTQ+ supportive resources and events.
Furthermore, the proposal leaves the door open for endorsing hormonal and surgical interventions for gender-confused children. It does so by vaguely referring to “clinically appropriate mental and behavioral health care,” without providing clear guidelines or safeguards. This is concerning, as it leaves room for potential harm to these vulnerable children.
Even though some medical organizations support such interventions, it’s important to note that there are serious concerns about their long-term effects. Puberty blockers have raised concerns about infertility, and certain cross-sex hormones have been linked to increased risks of heart attack, stroke, and suicidality. Some individuals who have undergone gender transitions have expressed regret, and some have even pursued legal action against the adults who facilitated these irreversible choices when they were still minors.
Lastly, the proposal does mention religious liberty and the protection of conscience, as mandated by the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). However, it also states that exemptions may not be granted even if a religious practice is substantially burdened, if it is deemed necessary to advance a compelling government interest through the least restrictive means possible.
In conclusion, this proposal raises significant concerns for conservative families who hold different beliefs about gender and sexuality. It appears to prioritize a specific ideological agenda over the rights and values of diverse foster families. If you wish to voice your opinion on this matter, you can submit written comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal until November 27, using the Regulatory Information Number (RIN) 0970-AD03.

Shocking Realities of Youth Transgender Healthcare – It Is WORSE Than We Thought!
In a shocking revelation, Environmental Progress recently obtained leaked documents from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), shedding light on the disturbing and sinister reality of youth and adult transgender healthcare. The findings, published by the Daily Caller, uncover a troubling pseudoscience that has infiltrated American children’s lives, surpassing previous expectations.
WPATH’s Influence on Transgender Healthcare:
As the leading organization guiding doctors, hospitals, and clinics on transgender healthcare, WPATH holds significant influence in shaping medical practices for individuals with gender dysphoria. While just three years ago, the transgender craze was perceived as affecting a limited number of confused individuals, the rapid increase in self-identifications, particularly among young girls, has turned it into a widespread societal concern.
The Betrayal of Trust:
At the core of this issue lies the question of whether parents can trust the medical information provided by their doctors. The leaked documents make it abundantly clear that trust in the medical guidance offered by WPATH is misplaced. Shockingly, professionals in the field discussed the necessity of obtaining two authorization letters for the surgical removal of a minor girl’s breasts, dismissing concerns as “gatekeeping.”
Informed Consent and Unproven Science:
The documents reveal a consensus among the world’s top minds in transgender medicine that minors cannot provide informed consent for hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, or surgeries altering healthy sex organs. This raises concerns about parents lacking the biological knowledge necessary to make informed decisions for their children’s healthcare.
Progressive Activism and Parental Rights:
The attack on parental protections becomes apparent, with progressive activists pushing for policies that separate children from parents who refuse to conform to the “affirmation” model. Parents seeking alternatives may face accusations of abuse, further limiting their ability to make decisions in the best interest of their children.
Misleading Information on Reversibility:
For a significant period, the medical community portrayed hormone blockers and hormonal treatments as reversible or non-permanent solutions. However, the report exposes the falsehood of these claims, revealing lifelong complications such as infertility, lack of orgasm, and an increased risk of developing cancerous masses.
Hidden Dangers of Cross-Sex Hormones:
The WPATH Files detail the dangers of cross-sex hormones, including pelvic inflammatory disease, cardiovascular issues, and even death. Medical professionals recount cases of severe health complications linked to prolonged use of these hormones, highlighting the urgent need for a reassessment of current practices.
Conclusion:
The shocking revelations within the WPATH Files showcase the alarming mistreatment of children in the name of transgender healthcare. The medical community’s obligation to “do no harm” is disregarded in this context, prompting a call for government investigations to ensure the safety and well-being of these vulnerable patients. It is essential to bring attention to these issues and work towards reforms that prioritize the health and future of the children affected by these controversial practices.
In a groundbreaking study led by Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, a former advocate for gender-transition treatments, the mainstream narrative regarding the life-saving nature of such interventions for young people has been called into question. Contrary to popular belief, the study, based on health records from Finland’s national database, reveals that gender-transition treatments have no discernible impact on suicide rates among gender-distressed individuals. Instead, the research highlights a correlation between mental illness and suicide.
The Study Design
Dr. Kaltiala’s study analyzed the health records of 2,083 gender-distressed individuals, who sought assistance at gender clinics in Finland at an average age of 18. This group was tracked for approximately 7 years. To provide a comparative context, a control group of 17,000 individuals without gender-related concerns was also examined.
Surprising Findings
The study challenges the widely held belief that gender-transition treatments, including cross-sex hormones or surgeries, are “life-saving” for young people facing gender distress. While 38% of the gender-distressed group underwent such interventions, the suicide rate observed was just 0.3%, only marginally higher than the 0.1% rate in the control group. The study categorizes both rates as “unusual events,” casting doubt on the notion that gender-transition treatments significantly impact suicide prevention.
Questioning Ethical Standards
Dr. Kaltiala criticized the common practice of gender clinics posing questions to parents such as, “Would you rather have a living son or a dead daughter?” She labeled this approach as “most unethical” and emphasized that it is not grounded in factual evidence. The study suggests a need for a more nuanced and evidence-based dialogue around gender-transition treatments.
Mental Health Correlation
While the study did not find a direct link between gender-transition treatments and suicide rates, it did unveil a “statistically significant relationship” between a high prevalence of co-occurring mental health difficulties and increased suicide risk. This highlights the importance of addressing mental health concerns in conjunction with gender-related issues.
Implications and Contradictions
The research challenges the radical left-wing narrative that has been promulgated by certain medical and LGBTQ groups, claiming that the “science is settled” regarding the life-saving nature of gender-transition treatments. The study’s findings suggest a need for a more nuanced and evidence-based understanding of the complex relationship between gender dysphoria, mental health, and suicide risk.
Conclusion
Dr. Kaltiala’s study presents a significant challenge to the prevailing narrative surrounding gender-transition treatments and their purported life-saving impact on young people. By questioning the ethical standards of communication within gender clinics and highlighting the correlation between mental health difficulties and suicide risk, the research calls for a more informed and balanced approach to discussions on gender-related interventions.
