Idaho Satanists plan 'gender affirmation ritual' to protest ban on surgeries for children: 'I praise myself'

Members of The Satanic Temple plan to oppose a proposed Idaho bill that would prohibit sex-change surgery and drugs for minors by holding a "gender affirmation ritual" on the grounds of the state Capitol.

A bill titled the "Vulnerable Child Protection Act" was introduced by Republican state Rep. Bruce Skaug last week and would render offering puberty blockers or transgender surgery for minors a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The bill aims to protect "children from harmful pharmaceutical and surgical interventions for the purpose of changing the appearance of a child's sex," but would not apply to those who require treatment because of medically necessary treatments, according to a fact sheet released by the Idaho Family Policy Center.

The Boise chapter of The Satanic Temple, which calls itself "Satanic Idaho," is pushing back against the proposed legislation by staging a "Hail Yourself: Gender Affirmation Ritual" on Feb. 13 to "remind [Idahoans] that not everyone uses religion to condemn, but to accept," according to an advertisement on social media.

According to The Satanic Temple website, gender affirmation rituals carried out with a satanic minister "serve as both celebration of the self and a declaration to the self and others of one’s true identity" and are purposed "to dispel any shame or stigma surrounding one’s gender identity due to religious discrimination or cultural ignorance."

According to the text of the ritual, participants are invited to look at themselves in the mirror, count their breathing in three counts of six and say, "Thyself is Thy Master. I praise myself. I know myself. I love myself. Through self-affirmation, self-exploration and evolution I am able to become more of myself."

You know what is REALLY Gender Affirming?

A DNA test:

A: You have XY chromosomes; It affirms that you are a male.
B: You have XX chromosomes; It affirms that you are a female.

This whole transgender thing has to be a psyop of some sort. Reduce the population of Americans and replace them with new people whose presence in the country is beholden to Democrat politicians.

Nobody would take themselves or their kids to be sexually mutilated under normal circumstances. Something is very wrong and that major corporations and one of the two national parties are on board with this tells you this is not natural.

Well, SOMEBODY has to walk into a hot volcano right? If you are going to do a ritual then there has to be a live sacrifice. Let’s start with the head Satanist

Well, they do hate themselves in reality. If they truly loved themselves they would see they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
