Robin Lundstrum frames the claim from some that children won’t face long-term harm from so-called gender transition measures. She’s just one of the voices who appear in the fourth installment of “Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle.”At the baseline of the transgender movement is an affirmation-only model that leaves no room for questions, inquiry, rational discussion, or debate. As we’ve explored thus far, the implications of this sinister approach have impacted our schools, medical institutions, and families. In the fourth installment of “Generation Indoctrination,” we explore the perils of affirmation-only approaches on the legal and legislative fronts. Often driven by emotion, these policies create familial crises and threaten parental rights.And it’s the “feelings” part of the equation that begs to be broken down. In this episode, a therapist, who chose to speak under a pseudonym for fear of retribution, explained her belief that this handling is both tragic and dangerous, especially for kids.“It's solely based upon our feelings and I don't know about you, but I know my own feelings change from time to time,” she said. “And this is particularly true of young girls in middle school. Young people's feelings are all over the place.”This dynamic, mixed with problematic assumptions, is creating a crisis — one based on the lie that happiness and feelings are at the core of truth. “Happiness is always fleeting, so this is severely flawed and thinking that I can be in a constant state of happiness, but this is the construct,” Carla said, noting that another assumption is that a person is his or her feelings and such feelings much be expressed outwardly. Showalter takes all of these elements and begins to explore how these emotions and the associated affirmation craze become codified into law. But while the government descends into madness, states and communities across the country are fighting back. Parents like Florida mom January Littlejohn often find themselves locked in legal battles over their children’s identity crises, which is why the legislative and legal elements of the transgender battle must be fully comprehended. “This is creating a huge wedge between parents and their children. It certainly did that in my family,” she said. “It was a year and a half of a nightmare I do not wish upon anybody.”Littlejohn’s attorney, Vernadette Broyles, also delivered a stirring and convicting call to action for anyone deeply concerned over these matters. “We need to communicate to the school officials, ‘[Our children] belong to us. We want them more, and you cannot have them,” she said.Listen to these powerful stories. Subscribe on your favorite platforms here.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comOne of the most remarkable facets of the transgender debate is the speed and ferocity with which it was foisted upon the American public. After the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case in 2015, few people might have assumed we would be where we are now on the trans front – and in just a few, short years. So, how did we get here? What are the roots of the trans movement that carried us to this precarious place? In the third installment of the “Generation Indoctrination Podcast,” host Brandon Showalter explores the disturbing history, the roots of chaos, and why it's essential to understand the past for proper framing of the present.

Those who dare to criticize or challenge it are often silenced or shamed in order to make them fall in line.Dr. Quentin Van Meter, an endocrinologist and president of the American College of Pediatricians, and Dr. Andre Van Mol, a family physician, are just two of the voices boldly standing up to take listeners inside this complex cabal.  “The first weapon that they use is, ‘If you don't believe what we say, then you are bigoted and hateful.’ That's kind of the starting point,” Van Meter explains. “And it's a sort of an unspoken truth because if anybody does really come outside the box and say, “Whoa, wait a minute. This isn't right,’ they are immediately attacked in any way possible.”But this pressure in the medical field isn’t limited to the physicians at the helm of influential entities governing professional protocols and their public policy positions. It is also felt in the doctor’s offices and involves the coercion of parents — moms and dads who are many times already reeling in confusion over the internal turmoil their children are experiencing. The affirmation-only approach seizes upon this frenzy to push parents toward affirming and even transitioning their children. While a handful of European nations are now moving away from this pathway, the United States and Canada appear to be proceeding full-spead ahead, with youth being propelled toward puberty-blocking drugs and life-altering surgeries.The consequences are profound. Lives hang in the balance. Listen to episode two of “Generation Indoctrination” to explore the dangers surrounding fast-tracking kids into medicalization in this transgender mania. 

Brandon Showalter, a journalist with The Christian Post, explores the negative impact of the gender identity movement in America's education system.
