Trans Risks

Editor, Times-Union:
On May 13, 2016, the Obama administration sent a letter to all public schools saying that they must allow members of one biological sex who identify as transgender to use the same showers, locker rooms and restrooms – and “housing accommodations” – as member of the opposite sex, or risk losing federal funding. Translated, this means that boys can use girl’s facilities and vice versa.
Have we lost our minds? This administration wants to “protect” a very small population, but trample the rights of our daughters and granddaughters. The “guidance” specifically forbids schools from requiring students to undertake any medical procedures before being classified as transgender. They do not need to have surgery or take hormone treatments. Can you imagine how bad this can play out? Locker rooms, bathrooms – our daughters are becoming victims.
Thursday, May 19, a friend from Wabash got a text from her 16-year-old daughter who was at a track meet in Marion at IWU. She was washing her hands when in walked a boy, went in the stall and used it. My friend was livid and jumped in her car and drove to Marion and talked to officials there. Their response was regret that it happened and they don’t like it, but it is what it is and they can’t do one thing about it …. really? Here is the link to that story: http://indianalibertycoalition.com/2016/05/19/breaking-tonight-indiana-high-school-student-share-bathroom-boy
The funding that the dictator says he will pull is funding that is used to fund lunches for low-income, so you can see where his loyalty stands. It’s time to stand up for the females in our lives. The Democrats talk about a war on women, well, they’ve brought one on. I urge each one of you to call Governor Pence (317-232-4567) and Indiana Attorney General (317) 232-6201. You can also sign the petition and read more about this mandate here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/petitions/obama-withdraw-transgender-school-mandate-now/signed
Also, to add to this craziness, the Girl Scouts have now decided to jump on the political bandwagon too. Boys in skirts, boys in make-up and boys who want to be like a girl will become a part of the program. This change will put young innocent girls at risk (https://www.afa.net/action-alerts/girl-scouts-of-america-policy-change-boys-dressing-as-girls-can-join/)
Churches, it’s time to get off the benches and put your voice in action. The next step may be making the bathrooms in your churches a cat litter box, too, or you’ll get your 501C3 status removed. Remember, this really has nothing to do about bathrooms, but everything to do with their agenda and this lame duck president will make sure that every little thing that they want accomplished will be done.
