Sex is real but “gender” is pseudo-science that rests on a circular citation squad of academics, academic publications, ideologically-captured medical associations and the media. Remember when men and women could express themselves however they liked and still remain . . a man or a woman? Unfortunately, the State of Connecticut now teaches little children as young as 3, that the toys they play with, the clothes they wear, and the feelings they experience determine their sex, not their chromosomes. Regressive, grossly negligent and borderline abusive are the most charitable ways to describe what is happening to our children in Connecticut, especially to the children who now consider themselves “transgender”. These children don’t deserve to be medically castrated or permanent consumers of cross-sex hormones. Their fears are being exchanged for a bag of false goods by ideological extremists and cowardly administrators. It is the biggest political, medical and media scandal of all time.
Transgenderism is a colorful but false belief system. A belief system that is quickly becoming the state religion of CT. The level of shaming used by CT elites to enforce transgender extremism would shock even our Puritan forbears. It starts broadly with indoctrination at schools, erasure of women from the law, and intimidation at work. In school, transgender concepts are introduced at every grade level, with particular emphasis on vulnerable and young children. The extremism escalates into psychological and physical interventions from hidden social transitions to cross-sex surgery – yes . . . even for Connecticut minors.
Unfortunately, Connecticut has already enshrined various aspects of gender ideology into our administrative agencies and some laws. Family Institute of Connecticut and our allies have made some gains against the new state religion. Let’s take a moment to appreciate them.
Title IX Victory: Over 50 Connecticut schools have blocked enforcement of the new Title IX regulations which, among other wrongs, classifies “misgendering” as “harassment” and leads to punishment of any student, staff and even parents . If your school is not on this list, join Moms for Liberty today and make sure you complete the form to include your child’s school. Your child’s school will be protected and your identity will remain anonymous.
Soule vs CIAC: How many girls denied fair play and athletic scholarships is too many? Asking girls to take a loss to protect the feelings of a confused boy is regressive public policy and the CIAC and CT can do better. A girl deserves to win in girl sports! The Second Circuit will now be able to hear the case of Soule v. Connecticut Association of Schools and fix the record for four girls wrongfully denied their place in athletics. FIC was there this summer, the day the case was heard in Hartford.
Let Kids Be Kids: FIC and our allies held a press conference this year to support a modest initiative to, in part, require schools to notify parents if a child begins a gender transition at school, and protect the integrity of school sports and safety. We obviously made waves just by making our proposals, because a state-level elected official was dispatched to call us names in the press. See the response by visiting the Let Kids Be Kids website.
