Father Tries To Save His 6 Year Old Son As Mother Has Decided That He’s A Girl And Wants Him Chemically Castrated

This is a terrible story and one that shows the harm the transgender agenda can do to a little 6-yr-old boy and his family:

 Meet James, a healthy 6 year old American boy.  His mother decided her son James (whom she calls "Luna") is actually a transgender girl, and the Texas court has sided with the mom.

If the mother wins JAMES WILL BE FORCED TO UNDERGO CHEMICAL CASTRATION AT EIGHT YEARS OLD

James prefers to be a boy, but since the age of 3, his mother has chosen to dress him as a girl, and call him by the name “Luna”
She has enrolled him in school as a girl. He is currently in 1st grade. The teachers and administrators know that he is a boy, but the other parents and students are unaware

He is undergoing “social transitioning” therapy to prepare him for chemical castration at age 8

James’ father, Jeff is fighting to protect his son all alone
His mother has support and financial backing

Jeff needs both financial help with legal fees and help networking to find expert witnesses who will help him keep his son safe

The court is requiring Jeff to pay for transgender therapy and the future sexual mutilation of his son

Courts have enjoined Jeff from dressing James as a boy at school, from teaching him that he is a boy, and from sharing religious teachings on sexuality and gender

He has been accused of ABUSE for saying that his son is a boy

Court documents indicate that the 6-year-old boy only dresses and identifies as a girl when he’s with his mother, who enrolled him in his first-grade class as “Luna.” But James’ father claims that when the boy is with him he consistently wears boy’s clothing, “violently refuses to wear girl’s clothes at my home,” and identifies as a boy.

The father has also obtained eyewitness accounts from family friends and a religious leader, all of whom testified that they’ve never seen the young boy attempt to identify as a girl.

“Based on the three occasions I’ve spent time with him, I’d say he acts and looks unmistakably like a healthy six-year-old boy,” wrote Bill Lovell, senior pastor of Christ Church Carrollton. “…I am praying for James, an average six-year-old boy, a sweet-natured, intelligent, lovable and at this point particularly vulnerable young man, caught up in a titanic clash of worldviews.”

The idea that a 6-year-old would be forced to grapple with such issues is the height of irresponsibility. I don’t even think a teenager could make such a sane deduction like this, given that most of us are still getting to know who we are well into our twenties. For some it takes even longer.

To think that a child would have to not only deal with this issue, but be faced with undergoing chemical changes to his body is nothing short of child abuse. The fact that a court sided with the mother on this issue just shows how wrecked our courts have become.

Declining U.S. Life Expectancy Reflects Cultural Depravity

"We are losing too many Americans, too early and too often, to conditions that are preventable."   

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “Mortality in the United States, 2017” report reveals that, while mortality hasn’t cliff-dived — the aggregate rate of 78.7 years in 2016 fell just a tenth of a point to 78.6 years in 2017 — some of the chief contributors are greatly disconcerting.

In 2017, 47,173 Americans took their own lives, propelling the suicide rate to a half-century high. According to the Associated Press, “The suicide rate was 14 deaths per 100,000 people. That’s the highest since at least 1975.”

The AP adds, “Drug overdose deaths also continued to climb, surpassing 70,000 last year, in the midst of the deadliest drug overdose epidemic in U.S. history. … Accidental drug overdoses account for more than a third of the unintentional injury deaths, and intentional drug overdoses account for about a tenth of the suicides, said Dr. Holly Hedegaard, a CDC injury researcher.”

We’ve come a long way in terms of life expectancy, of course, and we’re still better off than European and Asian nations with higher suicide rates. But the trend has unfortunately become transposed. “For decades,” the AP explains, “U.S. life expectancy was on the upswing, rising a few months nearly every year. Now it’s trending the other way: It fell in 2015, stayed level in 2016, and declined again last year, the CDC said. The nation is in the longest period of a generally declining life expectancy since the late 1910s, when World War I and the worst flu pandemic in modern history combined to kill nearly 1 million Americans. Life expectancy in 1918 was 39.”

Thankfully, today’s mortality is nowhere near that. But taking into account the technology age that has revolutionized medicine, the fact the rate is falling at all signals a deeper issue. It speaks to the cultural rot that has inflicted America to an ever-worsening degree. Even researchers partially acknowledge this.

According to Dr. Robert Redfield, “These sobering statistics are a wake-up call that we are losing too many Americans, too early and too often, to conditions that are preventable.” Dr. William Dietz added, “I really do believe that people are increasingly hopeless, and that that leads to drug use. It leads potentially to suicide.”

But what causes hopelessness? The Left and Right differ greatly on the answer. But common sense suggests the collapse of the family and even technology are foremost culprits. As columnist Mona Charen observes, “Due to unmarriage and divorce, more Americans are living alone than at any time in our history. Let me quickly acknowledge that the steep rise in adolescent depression in recent years may have more to do with social media than anything else.”

She adds, “Not only do divorce and rapidly cycling relationships (and living arrangements) leave adults and especially children emotionally scarred, the loss of secure families also leaves millions of people lonely. … We are not meant to be alone, and we don’t find emotional succor or physical satisfaction in relationships with screens.”

Fewer than 20,000 people are murdered every year (less than half of those with firearms), meaning suicides and drug overdoses vastly outnumber homicides. Yet far more attention is paid to murders and “gun violence.” But make no mistake: All of them are linked by an indifference for earthy life, which in turn stems from a mentality that’s devoid of gratitude, meaning, and, most importantly, spiritual direction. For these reasons, don’t hold out hope for the secular, fearmongering media to provide the right remedy.

New Study Proves Myth of Gender 'Wage' Gap

Yet the MSM ignores the fact that personal choice is the leading cause of the gap.  

Mainstream media headlines exploded with predictable outrage Thursday, reporting on the findings from another study on the popular gender “wage gap” trope. NBC News declared “Gender pay gap is worse than thought: Study shows women actually earn half the income of men.” Reuters headlined, “U.S. women earn half the income of men, new study finds.” But that far-Left rag known as Jezebel took the cake for the most emotionally unhinged headline: “The Gender Pay Gap Is Way More F—ed Than You Thought.”

The study was released by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research and entitled “Still a Man’s Labor Market.” Such language is clearly contrived to continue promoting the myth that women are suffering sexist wage discrimination due to a misogynistic economic and western cultural system better known as the “patriarchy.” The study highlights seemingly damning statics such as this: “Women today earn just 49 cents to the typical men’s dollar, much less than the 80 cents usually reported.”

But as has been noted by many in the past, the devil is in the details — details that equality-of-outcome absolutists reject outright as insignificant because equality of outcome is their only standard for determining “social justice.” Ironically, details within the study actually undermine the headline presumption that sex-based discrimination is the leading cause for the gender pay gap. The study notes, “Comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges, women earn close to what men earn: Women in similar workplaces with similar titles and similar credentials make pretty much what their male peers do, whether they are fast-food employees making close to the minimum wage or corporate executives making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.”

So how exactly is it a “man’s labor market” if women working the same jobs as men earn the same as men?

The reason for the overall wage gap boils down to freedom of choice. The data shows that on average women choose to work fewer hours, work less overtime, and take more time off than their male counterparts. As a result, women take home less pay, even as they are paid the same hourly wage as men. This is basic math.

So what is really behind the continued promulgation of the gender wage gap myth? Two things. First, it is a political tool designed to misinform women voters into believing that more government is needed to end this “sexist injustice.” Second, it is an outright attack against America’s free-market economy, which is supposedly a system responsible for perpetuating injustice. Replacing it with socialism is the only way to promote “justice.”

Alliance Defending Freedom
 
Time and again, we’ve seen God’s hand of blessing when we stand together to defend religious freedom. Through His provision and your prayers and support, ADF is winning nearly 80% of our cases, including nine victories at the U.S. Supreme Court in the last seven years!

We are filing more cases all the time to protect your brave brothers and sisters who are standing for religious freedom. Here are just a few recent cases that will benefit from your continued prayers and support:

* The city of Anchorage, Alaska, is investigating a women’s homeless shelter—Downtown Hope Center—because it only shelters biological women. During the day, the Hope Center provides food, laundry and shower services, and job skills training for any man and woman in need. At night, the Hope Center becomes a shelter for women, most of whom have escaped sex trafficking, domestic violence, rape, and other emotional and physical abuse. The city claims that providing this women’s-only safe space for battered women violates a local law. If Anchorage succeeds in its crusade against the Hope Center, it would force a religious ministry to abandon its mission. And it would force homeless and hurting women to sleep 3 to 5 feet from men.

* A Shawnee State University professor was punished by school officials for declining a male student’s demand to be referred to as a woman, with feminine titles and pronouns. Although philosophy professor Dr. Nicholas Meriwether offered to use the student’s first or last name instead, neither the student nor the university was willing to accept that compromise, choosing instead to force the professor to speak and act contrary to his own convictions.

* Boyertown Area School District in Pennsylvania instituted a policy that authorizes students who self-identify as the opposite sex to access the locker rooms, shower areas, and restrooms of their choice in its schools. And it did so without informing students or parents. The policy led to multiple unexpected and uncomfortable encounters by students, like Alexis Lightcap, who were shocked to find themselves sharing a restroom or changing in the locker room with a member of the opposite sex. Now these brave students are asking the United States Supreme Court to intervene and protect their privacy rights.
The government is getting bolder in its efforts to stifle your God-given freedoms. But we will not back down. And thanks to your help—we will continue to fight for freedom on behalf of these brave men and women.

Political correctness is most pervasive in universities and colleges but I rarely report the  incidents concerned here as I have a separate blog for educational matters.

American "liberals" often deny being Leftists and say that they are very different from the Communist rulers of  other countries.  The only real difference, however, is how much power they have.  In America, their power is limited by democracy.  To see what they WOULD be like with more power, look at where they ARE already  very powerful: in America's educational system -- particularly in the universities and colleges.  They show there the same respect for free-speech and political diversity that Stalin did:  None.  So look to the colleges to see  what the whole country would be like if "liberals" had their way.  It would be a dictatorship.
