We Fought the Transgender Activists, and Lost. Here Are 5 Lessons for Every Parent.
The Daily Signal ^ | July 8, 2019 | Kristen Allen

Our defeat was all but inevitable, yet the transgender activists still showed up in matching shirts and waved multicolored flags. Their speakers outnumbered ours 4 to 1, but they still hissed and muttered ugly names at our side while we spoke.

We had gathered for the Arlington County School Board’s meeting on June 18. For four months, the Arlington Parent Coalition had worked tirelessly to get our liberal school board and administrators to reconsider or delay the implementation of policies that would expand accommodations for transgender-identified students.

Those policies were passed four years ago during the summer, when nobody was paying attention. Their timing was not unintentional.

The steady and focused efforts of transgender activists over the last 20-30 years are now bearing fruit. Some of the policy changes coming to Arlington County include biological boys and girls being allowed into each others’ bathrooms and locker rooms, girls having to compete against transgender boys in sports, and schools compelling speech in favor of transgender pronouns.

Parents are seen as a potential threat to transgender students, and any opposition to transgender accommodations is perceived as hateful bigotry.

Gary McCaleb, senior counsel for the Alliance for Defending Freedom, estimates that hundreds of school systems across the country are now fighting the roll out of transgender ideology.

Communities are woefully unprepared for the impact this will have on our children. There is no road map for grassroots groups to follow as they fight this radical agenda and cultural shift.

However, several lessons emerged from our efforts that might be helpful to other grassroots groups.

We’ve evicted God from our schools, our government, our churches, and our homes. We create porn and market it worldwide, we kill the unborn, and we convince Israel to give up her ‘land for peace’...
Then we’re shocked that God would allow His judgement to fall upon us.
FReepers, until we fall to our knees, repent of our sins and turn from them, and give our hearts to our Savior Christ the King, things will get worse and worse...

That bumper sticker could really backfire. Like as a joke, instead of an insult.

When was this fight?

Seems to me that most people just rolled over if they did not actively promote this confusion.

When it comes to the culture war, it’s been a total rout! We are in shambles, full retreat... and they’re still chasing us.

Yep. If you doubt that, ask yourself how often you have to walk on eggs when talking about "gays" in a business environment.

Businesses don't wanna be sued or placed in a bad light.

They really could care less what them perverts do.

The morally straight folks need to do some suing and protesting!
