The audience was clearly shocked to learn that military parents of children aged 12 or older could not access their children\u2019s medical records online. And children as young as 15 or 16 can make medical appointments for specific issues without parental notification. Those \u2018issues\u2019 are, of course, gender identity, pregnancy, STDs, and mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Left used be paranoid about the military \u201cgetting\u201d their children through propaganda and brainwashing.

But officials refused to engage in open dialogue, so yesterday the Goldwater Institute filed a federal lawsuit on Amber\u2019s behalf against the Great Salt Bay Community School Board for violating her constitutionally protected parental rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAmber was alarmed when she came across a chest binder\u2014an undergarment used to flatten breasts\u2014in her daughter\u2019s belongings this past December. She immediately began to investigate where the binder came from, but what the Newcastle mom discovered shocked her: a school social worker who Amber\u2019s daughter began seeing in October gave the child the chest binder and had secretly been advising her about gender transitioning. Making matters worse, the social worker told Amber\u2019s daughter the school wasn\u2019t going to inform her parents about any of it, and that the girl didn\u2019t need to do so either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen Amber contacted school officials, the administrators tried justifying the counselor\u2019s actions. In fact, school personnel had already been referring to Amber\u2019s daughter with a different name and different pronouns, effectively \u2018socially transitioning\u2019 her in secret.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even if the parent does know, they\u2019ll be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/i-felt-bullied-mother-of-child-treated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bullied into acquiescing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAlthough he declared himself to be neither sex, puberty was declaring otherwise. His father thought counseling would help, and he wanted Casey to see someone in tune with LGBTQ issues, and eventually discovered the Transgender Center. By then Casey had already done research on something he heard about from a friend: puberty blockers. Casey arrived at the center with the agenda of stopping his puberty from progressing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCaroline assumed counseling at the center would help Casey sort things out. But in retrospect, she says, what the psychologist at the center did was solidify the idea that Casey needed medical intervention for his gender distress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe parents were given a two-page handout describing the possible side effects of the treatment. These included long-term effects on bone density; body aches and sleep disturbance; abnormal heartbeats and seizures; mood and weight changes. There were two sentences about fertility: \u201cBlocking pubertal hormones and transitioning on to gender-affirming hormones may have long-term effects on fertility. <strong>If a patient is interested in fertility preservation, a meeting with a fertility doctor should ideally be done prior to hormone blockers and\/or gender-affirming hormone therapy.<\/strong>\u201d (Emphasis in the original.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe psychologist then addressed the family to make sure they understood that Casey might end up infertile. When Caroline expressed concern about this, Casey reassured her that he didn\u2019t want children. She asked what if he changed his mind later. \u2018I\u2019ll adopt,\u2019 he replied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCaroline was becoming more disturbed by how the therapist seemed to gloss over the enormous implications of the decision in front of them. \u2018She said that if future fertility was a concern, we could look into banking his sperm before the blocker went in,\u2019 Caroline said. She recalls wondering how she found herself in a conversation about banking the sperm of her 14-year-old. \u2018It was weird, and I didn\u2019t like where this was going. It was just so overwhelming.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cReed says what Caroline describes is not appropriate care. For one thing, she says, \u2018No parent should feel pressured. That is not true informed consent.\u2019 For another, she says, when children are faced with the prospect of sterilization and say they\u2019ll adopt, that should be a red flag. \u2018This says someone is still thinking about becoming a parent, and that means you have to stop and say we need to get real counseling about reproduction.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TTFN.<\/p>\n<p><meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PoliticHatBlog\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ThePoliticalHat\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Leviathan And The Hidden Transgendering Of Children: The Navy; The Mother In Maine; Bullying The Parent\"\/><meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"The focus this time: All Your Child Are Belong To Trans\" \/><meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/AYB_children.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another &#8220;quick takes&#8221; on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The focus this time: All Your Child Are Belong To Trans &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;First, a little mood &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/2023\/04\/27\/quick-takes-leviathan-and-the-hidden-transgendering-of-children-the-navy-the-mother-in-maine-bullying-the-parent\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,17,29],"tags":[55,24,42,69,48,57],"class_list":["post-20070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-healthcare","category-progressives","category-war-terror","tag-gender","tag-leviathan","tag-mood-music","tag-quick-takes","tag-social-justice","tag-war-on-women"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20070"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20072,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20070\/revisions\/20072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
