We are the first generation of parents competing with the internet and school to raise our children to become healthy, happy, well-adjusted citizens. Parenting is hard work. You have to be strong, and sometimes that means saying no and risking the consequences.
As part of "DEI work" (i.e. inclusion), schools are pushing a belief system that children can be born in the wrong bodies and therefore choose their gender.
What do you think happens when young children are taught that gender is fluid and that any “discomfort" with their changing body is not “normal?” We are hearing from a growing number of parents that the exponential rise in rapid onset gender dysphoria is happening in independent schools and to increasingly younger children. Social contagion is real, and all-girls schools seem to be at the forefront.
In 2017 the American Academy of Pediatrics adopted an affirming care policy. Affirmation = The CHILD determines their gender and when transition should take place. There is no other medical standard of care where this affirmation model occurs.

What's Happening In Your School?
Here are some examples of what schools are teaching:
Schools are asking children to question their identity.
Children feel compelled to comply because they want to be nice and inclusive. It starts with the use of pronouns. The incentive structure is in place to make them feel cool/special.
Why You Should Care
The US continues to be an outlier and resists performing a systematic review of the evidence behind gender transition.
Pronoun use normalizes gender identities.
Children are being forced into identity boxes and told that they should question their gender if they don't conform to regressive gender stereotypes.
Young vulnerable people are being harmed.
What You Can Do
Watch Affirmation Generation and share broadly with everyone at your school. You could even host a screening!
