How the transgender social contagion took over this Alaska town
Washington Examiner ^ | August 25, 2022 | Kelsey Bolar

Posted on 08/25/2022 11:25:55 AM PDT by karpov

On a small, unassuming cul-de-sac in Alaska, the mother of two young daughters came face-to-face with the growing phenomenon of adolescent girls identifying as the opposite sex due to a social desire to appear transgender. Critics call the social contagion theory “unfounded” and “absurd.” But for Susie, whose name I’ve changed to protect her family’s privacy, she watched it unfold in her own neighborhood, inside her own home.

After returning to the United States in 2020 from a four-year assignment abroad, Susie’s family settled into a house on a street where two out of the eight girls identified as boys. At the local high school where their daughter would soon attend, at least another 10 girls identified as the opposite sex. Shortly after moving there, Susie’s oldest daughter, who had just turned 15 years old, also said she felt like a boy.

Susie’s daughter was still wearing skirts and makeup. Growing up, she never had "tomboy" tendencies or showed signs of gender confusion. Susie didn’t believe that her daughter’s sudden transgender identity was anything more than a phase, so she and her husband chose not to make any drastic changes, settling on a “wait and see” approach. They wanted to give their daughter time to experience and explore her feelings without giving in to the lie that their daughter was anything but her biological sex.

But every institution surrounding them, from health professionals to the public school, and a local LGBT support group, rushed to validate their daughter’s gender confusion, treating it as real. Worse, they intentionally deceived Susie and her husband, using their daughter’s birth name and female pronouns in official communications while using her made-up name and male pronouns behind closed doors.

This stuff is happening in Alaska?

Freepers would know to avoid an "LGBT support group". Licensed therapists should also be avoided unless a parent can attend the session. We need rules that schools cannot change the name or sex of a child in their records without parental approval.

Western society is swirling ‘round the toilet bowl. There’s precious little sanity left out there.

Town not named - so could well be a fake story.

It is downright frightening to think of what this country will look like in the next ten to twenty years.

You know what the cure to this is? As soon as they want to be a boy, start giving them boy’s chores. If they are a boy, they can mow the lawn, rake leaves, shovel snow, clean the gutters, dig up that nasty weed bush down to the roots, etc.

I guarantee you after a week or two of that, they will want to be girls again.

I doubt it. Alaska is full of very small towns and villages. I see why they didn’t name it.

A friend lives in a village of 400, accessible only by air and boat in summer. They are the big city to most neighboring communities,

You are right!!

This might just be something to get everyone stirred up. I remember reading something like this last year about the school taking over the child with the parents having no say.

Alaska is a BIG place with many very small, isolated communities.

The small (3000 souls), island community I live in, for example has been described as "Maybery RFD with cell phones". 2 bars, 12 churches, Moose, Elks and Sons of Norway.

This is simply mental illness.
Mental illness shouldn’t be cheered on.
People who aren’t mentally ill can be made crazy if constantly around others with mental illness .
Mental illness should be treated and health restored

It’s the culmination of the French Revolution. The children of the Enlightenment must take every belief and every thought, no matter how poorly constructed, to its absurd conclusion. Not to do so is to commit the greatest moral error (according to the left): hypocrisy.

Take their phones away, and trans-mania among girls will all but stop overnight.

Yes and it accelerated under O. His ability to deceive and convince masses to jump on board with this stuff is nothing short of remarkable - and not in a good way. What few times I’ve discussed this stuff with one of his true believers I only get shrugs or excuses.

Which is why Luke 17:28-32 is something I post fairly often.

Satan’s anti-messiah is going to waltz right in and much of the West is going to cheer, as long as CNN and MSNBC love him and fete him.

Lots of therapists and feelings involved. This story miraculously included a father.

This stuff is happening everywhere. It is the most absurd thing people can believe. A person who believes that child trannies are a real thing will believe anything they are told. You will never see:
“I believe child trannies are a real thing, but I question the official narrative on COVID-19 vaccines, or

I believe that child trannies are a real thing, but I think that Joe Biden was elected on the basis of massive cheating, and so on”

This stuff is happening. Decades of “I DON’T CARE WHAT IT IS THEY’RE A’DOIN’ SO LONG AS THEY AIN’T A’DOIN’ IT IN MUH FACE” has allowed things to get pretty far out there. They are going to do it in your face, no matter how far you bury your head in the sand. We were warned, but talking about capital gains tax cuts is a lot more pleasant.

It’s truly a demonic mental disorder.

Satin is ascending and you can see it every where. Even once sane people are being sauced by his power.

Parents for the monthly payment of a new SUV, (instead drive an older vehicle) take the savings and pay for and place your Student in a Private School, that will educate your child your way, or home school.

I run into parents all the time wanting to enroll in my school, but want me to pay for it.

Until Universal Vouchers for schooling comes to pass, Parents you need to bite the bullet and pay for the education you want for your child!

The Deceiver is ramping up, preparing the world 🌎🌍 for the 7-year Tribulation.

The card and/or chip thing will happen to a degree it seems, though the actual Mark of the Beast will be a tattoo of sorts.

7 years of proposed ‘Peace and Security’. It was actively being pursued, as recently as 2019. Just as prophesied.

Covid-19 brought restrictions on buying, selling, travel, calls for cash to be eliminated, calls for chipping/marking/cell phone QR codes to prove your vaxx status......

The global change in just these past 2.5-2.75 years is astonishing.
