In a recent email solicitation from Liberty Counsel Action, concerns were raised about the proposed Equality Act (HR 15) and gender-affirming care for transgender individuals. While it’s important to engage in constructive dialogue on these topics, it’s equally important to address many misconceptions presented in the email.
The email featured a heart-wrenching story of a young individual named Emma, who faced numerous challenges in her life. It is important to acknowledge that Emma’s situation is unique and complex, and her experience cannot be used as a blanket representation of all transgender individuals. Mental health issues are a serious concern for many transgender teens, and it is crucial that they receive the support and care they need.
However, one concerning aspect of the email was the use of the term “mutilating surgeries” and removing “healthy body parts” to describe gender-affirming care. This terminology is offensive, transphobic, and damaging to the mental health of transgender people. Gender-affirming care is a legitimate and medically accepted practice that has been shown to improve the mental health and well-being of transgender individuals. It is essential to use respectful language when discussing these sensitive topics.
The Equality Act, which is at the center of this discussion, aims to address discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals, including transgender individuals, in various aspects of life. Contrary to some claims, it is designed to ensure equal protection under the law and does not infringe upon the rights of parents or religious beliefs. It is important to engage in fact-based discussions about the potential impacts of legislation rather than relying on sensationalized claims.
Lastly, equating the LGBTQ+ community with pedophilia, as suggested in the email, is both baseless and harmful. Such unfounded accusations contribute to discrimination and misunderstanding of a diverse group of people.
In conclusion, it is crucial to approach these topics with empathy, respect for diversity, and accurate information. Society should strive to create an inclusive and accepting environment where all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation, can live free from discrimination and prejudice.
Content Summary
Email solicitation from Liberty Counsel Action:
A frantic father called Dr. Miriam Grossman from the hospital. His daughter, Emma, had cut her arms and ended up in the ER. And her dad was reaching out for help from a licensed child psychiatrist.
Life had been hard for Emma. Her mom committed suicide when she was just 4 years old. Emma had a speech impediment that caused her to be extra shy and subjected her to bullying at school. She had no close female role models. When COVID hit, she was terrified of getting it and locked herself in her bedroom so that even when her father returned from long hours at work, they barely interacted.
When she was 15 years old, during COVID, Emma’s entire world was online. There she found carefully edited videos of girls celebrating their “masculinity” after taking puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. When she told her father she wanted to be a “boy,” he connected her with a therapy specialist. This specialist uncovered Emma’s past, including exposure to pornography that demeaned and denigrated women, as well as sexual assault from a male cousin.
Working through the past trauma and her low self-esteem, Emma was making great progress. But then she was bullied at school, and that’s what sent her over the edge.
She cut her arms repeatedly and was rushed to the hospital where Dr. Grossman received the frantic call from Emma’s father.
The events that followed this frantic call underscore why we must stop the “Equality Act” (HR 15) from passing.
We need to STOP THIS BILL! Make your voice heard on Capitol Hill to block the Equality Act. — Mat
Emma’s story is still being written, but there are many doctors, nurses and other professionals who are pushing these kids down a conveyer belt of transgenderism with no known path to exit.
The first thing the hospital staff did was ask Emma her “gender.” The hospital “affirmed” Emma as a “boy” named “Oliver.” When the staff learned that the father would not affirm this false identity, they questioned him.
Adolescent psychiatrist Riittakerttu Kaltiala, Finland’s expert on gender-dysphoric youth, warned that “it is common for psychiatrist symptoms to spread among girls in the same hospital ward.”
Before Florida passed a law banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and mutilating surgeries on minors, some schools in Florida intentionally lied to parents while grooming students in the LGBTQ agenda. In Tallahassee, Florida, Jeffrey Littlejohn learned that the school had his daughter sign a secret “gender non-conforming student support plan.”
Teachers were told to lie to parents. And back to Emma, the hospital staff insisted that the father “affirm” Emma (that is Oliver) as a “boy.”
If HR 15 becomes law, this madness will be in every hospital, doctor’s office, school, daycare, and more. Children will be hurt, and parents will lose their rights – and even their children!
WE NEED EVERY VOTE AND EVERY VOICE. We need your voice NOW to send a strong message. STOP HR 15 the “Equality Act” with your urgent faxes to Congress now. This bill will harm parents and children most of all. It will fundamentally damage the parent-child relationship in multiple ways.
First, the “Equality Act” will make abortion a federal right on demand through all nine months until birth. It will preempt every state law — including parental notification and informed consent. Parents will have no say, nor will religious hospitals, health care workers, or pharmacists. Insurance companies cannot refuse coverage. It will subject any person who refuses to comply to suit by the U.S. Department of Justice and by individuals.
Second, if a child becomes confused by the propaganda at schools or online, HR 15 will force compliance with a dangerous “affirmation” LGBTQ agenda.
The child can demand puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even surgery to remove healthy body parts. Insurance and taxpayer funds will cover the expense. If the parents object, their child could be removed from the home. I am not exaggerating — this is already happening even without the “Equality Act.”
Third, if the child asks for help to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions, behaviors, or gender confusion, HR 15 will block the parents from helping their child. In fact, this bill denigrates such counsel for ALL AGES.
Fourth, this dangerous bill will require faith-based adoption agencies and foster care ministries to place children in LGBT & Q homes. Schools, hospitals, and organizations will lose funding. And remember, the “Q” encompasses nearly 550 paraphilias — which includes pedophilia!
This bill will create a template across the board for religious discrimination. WE MUST STOP THIS BILL! Send your fax to the Senate to stop the “Equality Act” from endangering our kids. Liberty Counsel Action is focused on defeating the dangerous “Equality Act” and preventing the destruction of children and adults.
We need your help. Please consider making a special gift to enable Liberty Counsel Action to continue our fight on Capitol Hill for this and other critical issues impacting the future of our nation. Your gift of 25, 50, or 100 dollars strengthens our voice against radical activists. We must not be silent in opposition to this horrific bill.
