Yeah, the brain thing is a scam. Confused individuals, at a high percentage, return to their born identity as they mature.

Thank you for commenting! Feel welcome to clarify what is meant by the "brain thing is a scam."

I definitely believe that a subset of vulnerable young people have been subjected to the kind of psychological abuse where they hate their own bodies, and feel the need to "transition" to the opposite sex to find inner peace and be "happy."

In other cases, as highlighted in the article with backed studies, the structural differences of various brain areas could indicate sexual behavior.

Research has suggested that the hypothalamus (area of the brain) and its endocrine systems exert strong control over sexual behavior and sexual differences. More specifically, it is the amount and distribution of testosterone within the human brain during fetal development that determines sexual differentiation.

My main argument is that prenatal endocrine disruption (caused by various added synthetic chemicals to food and environment) impacts the orientation of the fetal hypothalamus (area of the brain).

Yes, I agree and am not doubting that changes in brain chemistry have a tremendous effect on these kids. The scam is trans promoters use these scans to justify their push for their wacky science.

Sweet justice, even though a compromise. This will give others a choice to fight LGBT tyranny.

Well said! Indeed, it is "sweet justice," and although a compromise, may empower others to combat moral tyranny. As Christian novelist C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, once wrote, "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive."

UNITE WITH GOD AND HIS LIKE MINDED AGAINST EVILS, PRAY AND PREP

We must, indeed, reach out to and unite with like-minded folks who share a Christian (or compatible) worldview. Founding Father Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “The natural progress of things is for government to gain ground and for liberty to yield.” We need that sense of liberty.

Well qualified teachers all over the country are being extorted to go along with "programs" that are immoral and harmful to the students and their families.

I am happy to see a win in this case and hope a precedent is established and that many more similar suits are brought against the school districts.

The Sensus Fidelium YouTube channel has several videos about liberalism and other issues that are contrary to my religion and which has been under attack for many years.

My wife who worked for The Salvation Army but was contracted by the local school district, was threatened with termination, after she spread the Gospel of Christ to her students who were either pregnant or recently had a child. This program taught life skills and child rearing skills to children as young as thirteen. At this time in our lives it was an easy decision for her to be a stay at home Mom. I have never given ten cents to the Salvation Army since then.

Thank you for sharing your story! I can appreciate that this experience led your wife to become a stay-at-home mom, and that you haven’t donated to The Salvation Army after she faced threats of work termination for sharing the Gospel of Christ. The Salvation Army is supposedly an evangelical part of the Protestant Christian church. It is saddening to learn that this international charitable organization might have caved to the threats of the local school district.

$360,000 ? Not nearly enough !

This "win" for Jessica was really just a "settlement" and the amount she accepted was only $285,000 after she paid off $75,000 in legal fees. The school district probably looks at this as a "WIN" for them!

"As part of Jessica Tapia’s settlement this year, the Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD) agreed to pay the Christian physical education teacher $285,000 and $75,000 for her attorneys’ fees given that Tapia will not seek employment with the District.

It is understood that both sides agreed not to file additional litigation. On this note, a spokesperson for JUSD reportedly told media outlet Crisis in the Classroom in an email that, “This settlement is not a win for Ms. Tapia but a compromise of a disputed claim.”

Totally agree that $360,000 was not enough. She had to agree (who wouldn't) not to work in that school district moving forward, which might require a move. If that is the case, the cost to her may be quite large if she wants to continue to teach, and since this is California, we all know how expensive the housing market is. Totally ridiculous amount, especially considering the School District states that they are accepting no fault in the settlement.

Yes I definitely believe that we are confusing the younger generations through LGBTQ propaganda that serves as a platform for them to belong to. Also considering the absence of parenting these days, as well as drug/alcohol use in families, sexual and mental abuse of children, it’s no wonder they glom on to these groups for support… what they really need is mentors, people that care, not groups that further devide and confuse kids…

Well constructed analysis of the case... I found it encouraging! Perhaps the tide is turning?

Thank you for commenting! The "tide will turn" when enough people, through their daily decision-making, stand up for what they know is right from wrong. Furthermore, we must continue teaching the youth to become wise and discerning against the mainstream tide of immoral attitudes that, over time, become incorporated as "gender identity policies." Jessica Tapia's ordeal reflects her faithful courage, and asserting one's Christian worldview in this day and age (especially in a state like California!) is a challenging process that must endure.

Finally, some justice for someone who stood by her principles and beliefs. Informative essay.

Indeed, at last, justice has been served to someone who remained steadfast in her principles and beliefs. Thank you for the compliment!

Dear Mr. / Madam School Board Trustee

I write to you today in a sincere effort to help you accomplish your noble reasons for seeking this office.

That is to help you facilitate the betterment of our schools for our children and young people.

To do this, I ask you to make the Board meeting agenda questions and the data points behind them available to me as well as all of the other taxpayers.

Upload the stack to a server where I and the rest of the concerned taxpayers can read, ratify and or annul the elements after log on.

In a perfect world each paragraph must have at least three possible answers: agree, disagree, no opinion at this time.

Direct democracy is a growing trend, and many companies offer these services:

hosting, voter receipts, and a running tally of totals for everyone to see.

In this way Madam Trustee you are assured that you will always have the strength of the community with you when making the decisions that really do effect the lives of our people.

Vty,

Helpful Taxpayer Citizen

Thank you for the comment! This is very important: "While an 'online town hall' (or 'virtual town hall') may give the impression that the traditional town hall is being replaced, this is often not the case. Online town halls are not meant to replace in-person meetings, but rather to enhance them."

In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the written article -- thank you!

The lawsuit to enforce religious freedom would not have been necessary if something like the Electronic Townhall were in place.

In person townhall meetings are a waste of time and opportunity. No one has time or inclination to listen to more than one or two speakers. The only way to enforce sanity among a group of power hungy bipeds is The Electronic Townhall.

In this example the school policy of promoting sexual perversion would have been voted down before the miscreants could have ever enforced it in the first place.

Thank you for the opportunityto respond to your question.

Thank you for your feedback.

Of course, in-person gatherings can often involve significant costs and planning, especially when participants are in different locations. However, in-person meetings generate irreplaceable meaningful value.

While online meetings have their place in our modern world, it's the in-person meetings that truly allow for deeper, more meaningful relationships to grow, starting at the very local level. I am convinced that face-to-face, human-to-human meetings are not just important, but essential to successful long-term partnerships, such as a movement.

What is the purpose of political activity?

Expand full comment
author

Ultimately, I support the kind of activity -- political or culturally inspired -- that leads to proactive action, i.e., a movement that will galvanize support and momentum and lead to a positive change in our society. Online or virtual town halls can enhance conventional, offline meetings by connecting folks far and wide across the country -- just as we are communicating now! Thank you for commenting, and keep up the excellent work, as many readers (including myself) are learning about places where like-minded folks can assemble.
