If you aren’t convinced that progressives are trying to use transgenderism as some kind of weird social contagion to confuse your children and transform them into little statist robots who eschew the values and beliefs of their parents in favor of those espoused by the state, I don’t think you’re paying attention. I have something that might do the trick.
According to The Daily Wire, the Biden administration is now repurposing a federal program that was originally designed to help kids that are going through the foster care system to transition from being children to adults, using the funding for this program — made up of taxpayer dollars — to help fund efforts by kids to transition into the opposite sex.
Which, by the way, is impossible. No amount of makeup and cosmetic surgery can alter your DNA. If you were born a man, you’re a man, baby, as Austin Powers would say. Chromosomes can’t be altered. If you mentally feel like the opposite gender, guess what? You have a mental illness that needs treated. that kind of treatment does not include the encouragement of delusions either.
Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says federal taxpayer dollars can be spent towards buying “personal items” that support “a youth’s expression of their gender identity,” which typically refer to accessories such as chest binders and so-called packers, which are prosthetic penises used by girls who want it to appear like they have male genitals.
A document from the Children’s Bureau, a federal agency which operates under the authority of HHS, reveals that federal funds can now be used by child welfare agencies to “support the provision of services, interventions, and supports to LGBTQIA2S+ children.” The document, titled “Federal Funding to Support Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, Plus (LGBTQIA2S+) Children, Youth, Young Adults, and Families,” explains that child welfare funds can now be used to encourage children to attempt to change their sex.
“[John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood] funding may be used in a number of ways to support LGBTQIA2S+ youth and allow them to participate in positive, affirming, age-appropriate activities,” the document states in reference to a foster care funding system. “For example, Chafee funds may be used to purchase personal items related to supporting a youth’s expression of their gender identity and/or sexual orientation.”
The Chafee funding program was originally created to help kids who are in the foster care system to make adjustments to better adapt to life as an adult, which included providing funding for education, housing, and employment services. Non-profit organizations geared toward the LGTBQ+ community took the policy guidance provided by the president as an announcement that chest binders, which are used to help flatten a young girl’s breasts, along with packers, which are basically fake, prosthetic penises, can now be bought with federal tax dollars.
And you mean to tell me there are people who don’t see any problem with any of this? A person should not be forced to pay for someone’s mental delusion. It’s obscene to say the least.
“Guidance from the Children’s Bureau indicates that child welfare agencies may be able to use Chafee funding to purchase gender affirming items for young people in their care,” the National Center for Youth with Diverse Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity & Expression states in a document laying out how federal funds can be used to encourage child sex change attempts. “This resource offers a list of common items that may be purchased using Chafee funding.”
Chest binders and packers are listed as eligible items on the organization’s list, along with many other items.
“Binders are purpose-built undergarments … that are used to flatten breasts and create the appearance of a flatter chest,” the guide reads, before directing the reader to a site where “young people can go discreetly to learn what’s best for them.”
In regards to packers, it says they can be purchased for children with federal funds and describes them as “stand-to-pee devices that can be used as prosthesis that allow transboys and masculine people the appearance and feeling of having male genitals.” The accessories are used to help women use men’s restrooms and urinals. It says that gaffs, described as “compression underwear that smooth out the appearance of outer genitalia,” can also be bought with federal funds.
Going through all of this trouble to encourage the indulgence of mental illness delusions. I never imagined our society would fall this far down the rabbit hole.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a former dean at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, said that giving children these sorts of items puts them on a path toward “irreversible harm.”
“The great risk of fostering so-called affirming care is that it almost certainly will lead to medicalization, such as the use of puberty blockers and sex altering hormones,” Goldfarb, who now heads up Do No Harm, a group that opposes the politicization of medicine. “We know that the vast majority of children who have gender dysphoria, if supported through psychological counseling and psychiatric care, will go through puberty and live their lives in the gender that conforms to their sex. To give them various devices to promote social transition is a step in the path to irreversible harm in the vast majority of these children.”
Goldfarb revealed that kids who are suffering from gender dysphoria really do need support, but not interventions designed to push a specific ideological agenda and ultimately place them on a path to what he calls “medicalization.”
“These children are extremely vulnerable and do need support services,” Goldfarb remarked. “But support services designed to implement a particular gender ideology that medical evidence has not shown to produce positive emotional or psychiatric outcomes should not be supported by the government.”
In conclusion, the report said, “President Joe Biden signed an executive order in 2022 that intended to “address the significant disparities that LGBTQI+ youth face in the foster care system” and fight back against “efforts to suppress or change an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.” While the federal bureaucracy has been leveraged in service of leftwing agenda items under Biden, former President Donald Trump has pledged to fire bureaucrats who might otherwise stonewall his policy priorities.”
