Stop the injustice. Young people who are on board with this injustice have watched too many comic book movies.
In the real world, Biology Matters!

Love Refuses to Affirm Confusion
Wink Wink Boutique in Bellingham, Washington says:
“We believe that normalizing, accepting, and affirming all bodies, identities, and gender experiences is an inherently political act. Pleasure is our revolution,” reads Wink Wink’s website.
Wink Wink Boutique owner is Bellingham School Board Director, Jenn Mason. She is under criticism for a recent “Queer Youth Open Mic” night for ages 0-18 years old.
Mason also sells breast binders for girls and ‘penis packers‘ for teens — silicone members intended for adolescent girls — and provides in-store fittings. In addition, she sells ‘transmasc pumps‘ designed to extend female anatomy by means of suction; included with the product is a ruler to measure size.
Full story here, including descriptions of some of the sex-education books on display for children.
Instagram page is enlightening as well.
You know, running for the School Board in your area is one response to all of this. Just one.

Is this the world we want to live in?
I’m a Classic Christian and regard Gender Ideology as anti-creational to the core. This blog is about “God’s Good Creation.” That’s why I’m writing about Gender Ideology. And “speaking up” as I’m confident Jesus would.
"Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female.'" [Matt 19:4]
If you would like more detail on how my Christian worldview informs my understanding of Sex and today’s Gender Ideology please read the following posts.
Love refuses to affirm confusion.

Bizarre, but true.
For most people, the term “Title IX investigation” calls to mind allegations of rape, groping, unwanted sexual advances or a pervasive pattern of verbal abuse. Think again. A Wisconsin school district opened a Title IX sexual-harassment investigation against 8th graders for calling a student ‘her’ instead of ‘them.’ - Source: Wall Street Journal
The lawyers for those 8th graders continue their opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal with this:
The district appears to believe that once a student announces different pronouns to others, any subsequent use of the biologically and grammatically correct pronouns—even when not directed to the student—may be punishable as sexual harassment under Title IX. We hope Kiel (Wisconsin) is an outlier, but it may not be. A school board in Virginia is reportedly considering adding a policy to prohibit “malicious misgendering.” The Biden administration is about to unveil its long-awaited update to Title IX regulations and, given the president’s pronouncement that transgender discrimination is the civil-rights issue of our time, it wouldn’t be surprising if the new rules call for the policing of pronouns. All of this may soon be coming to a school near you. - Source: Wall Street Journal
UPDATE: The Fairfax County School Board was initially scheduled to consider this change to the Student Rights and Responsibilities guide at their May meeting, but they rescheduled discussion of the topic to June 16.
The past was far from perfect, but we did know the difference between boys and girls.
Parents and Citizens, get involved.
