An Excerpt from “What the Democrats Want to Do Should Disturb Us Infinitely More Than Trump’s Unrefined Tweets”

Laws Related to Sexuality, Children, and Family Life

Democrat victories in this election will pave the way for egregious treatment of children and families in the area of sexuality. Abortion is not unrelated to this, because the Democrats are just fine with the use of abortion as birth control. Yet life is sacred. Life is a linchpin issue, and it ought to be enough to compel Christians to vote for Trump. Please, if you aren’t drawn to vote for Trump to protect human life from conception to natural death, please vote for him to protect children from the militant transgender mind-set.

On Thursday evening, October 15, at his town hall held in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally over ABC, Joe Biden was asked about transgenderism in children and, more broadly, transgender rights. Here is the exchange.

Biden said he would “flat-out just change the law,…eliminate those executive orders,” yet

when it comes to the law, Trump was not the one whose executive orders twisted the laws Congress passed. President Barack Obama issued executive orders in order to redefine biological sex to mean transgender identity in federal law, in clear contrast to the plain meaning of statutes [go here for more information]. President Trump reversed this revision, and Biden wants to undo Trump’s restoration of the original meaning of the laws.

Perhaps even more alarming are the assumptions Biden appears to be making about sexuality in children. Biden rejects the notion that the desire to change one’s sex during childhood might only be a phase. The fact is that in the vast majority of cases where children who think they might “be in the wrong body” are encouraged to wait and see if they really want to be a member of the opposite sex, the desire eventually dissipates.

Allie Beth Stuckey tweeted,

Joe Biden tonight said 7 and 8 year olds should be given the authority to be “transgender,” despite data proving that the vast majority of kids with gender confusion outgrow it by puberty. We’re talking life-altering, body-harming decisions made by 1st graders.

Tony Perkins of Family Research Council Action wrote,

Joe Biden, the man vying to be your next president, thinks eight-year-olds have the capacity to make life-altering decisions to change their gender. And if you — the parent, doctor, or any other adult — try to stop them, it’s “discrimination!” On day one of his administration, he’s announced, he’ll even punish you for trying. He doesn’t care that there’s no scientific evidence proving these treatments are safe. He doesn’t care that 98 percent of boys and 88 percent of girls grow out of it. Or that it’s been called “child abuse” by the American College of Pediatricians. He doesn’t even care that hundreds of teenagers who’ve transitioned are pleading with adults to stop others from making the mistake. What do they care about? Nothing — except the approval of radical LGBT activists.

The idea that anyone — let alone a candidate for the highest office in the land — would want to lock hurting children into a lifetime of misery is unconscionable. Parents of the teenagers who’ve walked that path will tell you what comes next: heartbreak. “Once we have cut that beautiful body, when the voice is permanently broken, the beard is there for good, the breasts are gone, what happens if the body was never wrong to start with? What will you tell the daughters [who] realize, too late, that they have destroyed their ability to bear children, or to nurse them?” Girls like Sydney Wright say, “I was struggling with a big hole in my heart.” But instead of helping her, adults pushed her down a path that has permanently scarred her. “Nobody told me,” she said emotionally, “that most people outgrow their feelings.”

Joe Biden isn’t just wrong, he’s dangerous. And in a brand-new publication, “Do Not Sterilize Children,” just released today, FRC’s Peter Sprigg explains why.

In other words, it is nothing short of abusive to allow children to make these kinds of decisions! Note again what the former vice-president said: “The idea that an eight-year-old child or a 10-year-old child decides you know, I decided I want to be transgender. That’s what I think I’d like to be. It’d make my life a lot easier. There should be zero discrimination.”

The Equality Act…Isn’t

The Equality Act, which Mr. Perkins alluded to in his hyperlinks, is a key element of the Democrats’ efforts to bring about “zero discrimination.” But this proposed law would not treat people equally. Instead, it would coerce and punish those who don’t agree with the politically correct narrative about transgenderism. An article posted in the Heritage Foundation’s online publication The Daily Signal cites “7 Reasons Why the Equality Act Is Anything But.” The list proves the Democrats are dreaming of an America very different from the one we have enjoyed thus far. The following items refer to the Equality Act and are quoted directly from the article.

      1. It would penalize Americans who don’t affirm new sexual norms or gender ideology.
      2. It would compel speech.
      3. It could shut down charities.
      4. It would allow more biological males to defeat girls in sports.
      5. It could be used to coerce medical professionals.
      6. It could lead to more parents losing custody of their children.
      7. It would enable sexual assault.

Biden apparently is unmoved by these tyrannical elements in the proposed law. On January 25, 2020, he tweeted, “Let’s be clear: Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time. There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.”

If for no other reason than protecting America’s children, Christians must reject Joe Biden and his agenda by voting for President Trump.
