Strangely, since I just wrote a post on another thread railing against this whole transgender agenda, I do not have a problem at all with this camp.
These children are real. They are little kids and they have a disability, and like many kids with a disability that makes them different, they can feel very alone. A camp where they can have fun and not worry about their differences is GOOD FOR ALL CHILDREN.
Kids with gender dysphoria are real. They are sweet, innocent children. They were created in a uterus filled with bisphenol A or other substances that disrupt endocrine development (most young women’s uteri are, these days, from a couple generations of exposure). They can’t help their disability any more than other children with autism or Down syndrome or blindness can.
It’s perfectly ok to have special camps for kids with differences. I’m all for it.
I’m just not all for teaching these children they were “meant” to be the opposite gender. They should be taught, they are their born gender, but with a disability. They are still perfect and created by Him, just there is one thing that isn’t like other kids, they feel like the gender they aren’t. And that is ok. All children should be able to feel proud of themselves just as they are made.

You have a good point.
But my fear is that this is exactly what they are doing, teaching these kids that they are meant to the be opposite sex. Gender dysphoria is a real condition, but based on what seems to be happening in our culture, it isn’t being treated, it’s being celebrated.
“..They are still perfect...”? Well no one is perfect, so that is what these children should be taught. But.! God and I still love you anyway and we will always try to help you become as perfect as we can.
These kids should be helped to be comfortable with the genes God gave them. If they have any y gene, they are male. If they have only x genes they are female. Both are good.
We are not what we feel, but that is what the latest generations have been taught.
