What is it like to watch your children become mired in gender confusion while you're left with no options to help them? What is it like when all of the institutions you thought you could rely on are ideologically captured — and, if you disagree, they’ll turn against you?

And what about when even members of your own family turn against you and castigate you for asking questions about your child’s claim that they are “transgender?"

The parents we speak to in this episode have faced all of this, and even after years of struggle are forced to resist gender ideology strategically and largely in secret. They do activism for state legislation and take phone calls from advocates from their closets. They are part of online support groups for other parents. They avoid these touchy but extremely painful topics at family gatherings even though it’s always simmering beneath the surface.

These moms and dads are often estranged from their trans-identifying kids. Their intense anguish is protracted and otherworldly. Worst of all, it’s still mostly hidden from the general public. We’re using fake names for the five parents (four moms and one dad) in today's episode and will only refer to the general region of the country where they live in order to protect their identities given the repercussions they continue to deal with as they fight for their children from the shadows.

An under-discussed aspect of the cultural battle over gender ideology is its profound impact on families. Ask any parent who has watched in terror as their son or daughter barreled down the path of experimental drugs and surgery in search of a physical impossibility – becoming the opposite sex – and they’ll tell you that transgender ideology did not just damage their children’s health and bodies, but that it also ruptured relationships and obliterated family ties. 

Who is helping these distraught moms and dads? And what can be done to assist parents as they navigate this struggle both before and after gender ideology takes root in their kids’ minds?

In this episode, we speak with the mom of trans-identified child who went public with this struggle and whose story was profiled in a poignant documentary film called “Dead Name,” an attorney who won a significant parental rights case in Wisconsin against a school system that was socially transitioning children behind their parents’ backs, and a licensed clinical social worker helping detransitioners and their families pick up the pieces of their broken relationships.

Plus, we’ll talk with the mom of a formerly trans-identified daughter who conducted an astonishing deep-dive investigation of Kaiser in California, discovering just how easy it was to identify as something other than one’s sex and then acquire cross-sex hormones and surgery.

In the last few years, people who have become known by the term “detransitioners” have been testifying in public hearings and to media outlets about how their health was ruined and their bodies irreparably damaged by this experimental gender medicalization and surgery. As their heartbreaking stories become more widely known and as the public continues to awaken to the enormous medical scandal that is so-called 'gender-affirming care' this inaugural episode of season 4 of this podcast series explores how action-oriented people of all professional stripes in red, blue, and purple states are taking action to help this emerging group of people. 

We'll speak to lawmakers in Oregon, Idaho, and a public policy advocate in Arizona. We'll speak to a therapist from California who now lives on the East Coast; a mom-turned-activist from Florida who is advocating with the new group Do No Harm; and a man who has taken to the streets of New Hampshire wearing sandwich boards to force the issue with the general public, bypassing the media to speak with anyone who will listen.

For decades, the roots of gender ideology were seemingly confined to esoteric areas of study in niche academic departments. Yet this radical ideology soon stealthily began taking the world by storm until it reached a social eruption over the past decade -- one that has destroyed families and threatened the very fabric of society. 

Today, the devastating havoc that transgenderism has wrought on countless children, teenagers, young adults, families, and on society at large is no longer hidden, and a reckoning is underway both at home and abroad. On today's preview episode, host Brandon Showalter explains the "radical evil" you'll experience on season four of "Generation Indoctrination."

New episodes begin September 20, 2024.

For decades, the roots of gender ideology were seemingly confined to esoteric areas of study in niche academic departments. Yet this radical ideology soon stealthily began taking the world by storm until it reached a social eruption over the past decade -- one that has destroyed families and threatened the very fabric of society. 

Today, the devastating havoc that transgenderism has wrought on countless children, teenagers, young adults, families, and on society at large is no longer hidden, and a reckoning is underway both at home and abroad.

But what can be done? What can average citizens who see what’s at stake do to address this effectively? In this fourth season of "Generation Indoctrination" — which premieres September 20 — we’re focusing on those action-oriented people who decided that, although they never imagined this being a part of their lives, they must resist this destructive ideology. 

We’ll speak to those working in public policy, in red, blue, and purple states. We’ll engage those advocating for detransitioners, the victims of the mass medical experiment known as “gender-affirming care.” And we’ll talk to those who are helping shattered families and devastated moms and dads, some of whom are still forced to resist from the shadows and whose lives have been torn apart. These parents will tell you they are only now starting to be heard. 

And while there has been growing resistance and an emergence of public advocacy on these issues, it’s also worth revisiting the history. As it turns out, there were voices on the scene who foresaw and predicted the rise of this ideology before anyone was paying attention. 

And we’ll also engage what lies ahead. Are there other ideological developments presently brewing in the shadows that are related to the current morass? Is transgenderism the on-ramp to something even more bizarre and nefarious? Some say yes. 

We’ll explore all these themes and more in this season of "Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle."

2024 is being called the biggest election year in history — and with good reason. Seven of the world’s ten most populous countries, including the United States, will hold national elections this year. As more people than ever before are expected to vote in 2024, what exactly does it mean to be a “Christian voter” in America today? Is it merely a Christian who votes? Or something far more nuanced?

That’s the question at the forefront of The Christian Post podcast series and upcoming live event, "Politics In the Pews." Through conversations with a variety of Evangelical voices from across the political spectrum, "Politics In the Pews" looks at the history and influence of Evangelicalism in American politics, where churches and Christian leaders stand on the presumed Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump, and how “Christian nationalism” could sway independent voters.

Topics will cover the rise and fall of the “Religious Right,” the “Trump factor,” Christian nationalism, the pros and cons of church ballot collection efforts, how Hispanic Evangelical leaders are engaging their congregations, and a panel of leading Christian voices on the state of religious liberty in America in 2024.

On today's preview, "Politics In the Pews" host Ian Giatti joins Billy Hallowell to preview the podcast series, which premieres July 12. Be sure to subscribe to the show TODAY so you can start listening when the first episode releases. Listen here:

When family courts and the legal system are captured by gender ideology, moms and dads who have reservations about medicalizing their gender-confused children with experimental drugs and surgeries have almost no recourse, particularly when there is a contentious divorce and a custody dispute between the parents. This is especially the case in the “trans sanctuary state” of California.

Ted Hudacko knows this struggle all too well. He hasn’t seen one of his sons in years after California Superior Court judge Joni Hiramoto removed this San Francisco Bay Area dad’s custody after he expressed hesitancy that his son was transgender. In violation of the court order, clinicians and activists at the University of California - San Francisco Child and Adolescent Gender Center facilitated the surgical implantation of a hormone-blocking device in his son’s arm. They also started him on a course of cross-sex hormones. As a result of these medical interventions, Hudacko’s son is now almost certainly sterile. 

Hudacko’s case is a remarkable encapsulation of several dimensions of the gender ideology issues we have explored in the third season of “Generation Indoctrination.” In this bonus episode, we speak with him about his ongoing efforts to fight back against the system along with his attorney, Tracy Henderson. Hudacko is currently taking action in family court with contempt complaints against those who harmed his son and also a federal lawsuit. 

We will also briefly hear from Dr. Sallie Baxendale, a neuropsychologist from England who has been raising the alarm about the impact of puberty-blocking drugs on brain development. Her presentation at the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine’s conference in October 2023 can be viewed in its entirety here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5ZnRKqqByg&t=3s.

The Christian Post has always been unequivocal about where we, as a publication, stand on the issue of gender ideology. We believe that it is not only fundamentally at odds with historic, biblically orthodox Christian faith, but that it has also unleashed some of the worst medical atrocities and human rights violations the world has ever seen. We believe that so-called “gender-affirming care” is horrific, unmitigated child abuse, and that lying about the material reality of sex endangers vulnerable populations such as incarcerated women, who are now forced to share prison quarters with violent males as a result of such trans-friendly policies. 

It is, as CP executive editor Richard Land has said numerous times, “the epitome of self-idolatry, the ultimate attempt to become one’s own god.”

And yet how should the church respond to those who are struggling? How do we address the nefarious, ideological push that is in nearly all of our cultural institutions, while also offering compassionate pastoral care for those suffering from gender confusion? How should churches approach these matters with uncompromised boldness, biblical wisdom, and the grace of Jesus Christ? 

Weighing in on these questions in the final episode of "Generation Indoctrination" are two theologians, a Christian counselor, and a man who works to equip the rising generation in a biblical worldview and is also the co-author (with “Generation Indoctrination” host Brandon Showalter) of the e-book “Exposing the Gender Lie: How To Protect Children and Teens from the Transgender Industry’s False Ideology.”

We will grapple with these issues and much more in the finale of season 3 of "Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle."

More than anyone else, those who have personally experienced the experimental medical procedures involved in so-called “gender-affirming care” are keenly aware of the lies of trans ideology. The group of people called “detransitioners” have taken hormones and undergone surgeries to alter their bodies to appear more like the opposite sex have learned in the hardest way possible that no one has ever been or ever will be “born in the wrong body.” 

The regret such detrans individuals face is so profound that it has motivated some of them to testify in state legislatures in support of bills and policies prohibiting such practices of administering puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on minors. They are also contributing to documentary films and books. Yet others have even filed medical negligence lawsuits against the doctors and medical institutions that harmed them and their cases are presently working through the courts. Advocacy on behalf of such people is emerging on several fronts as their stories are being heard more widely, in no small part due to their public testimonies before government committees and in legislative hearings. 

In this fourth episode of season 3, we engage a young detrans man and a young detrans woman who are among this group who are speaking out about how they were harmed, an attorney who has filed lawsuits on behalf of a few detrans women, and an author and filmmaker who is an expert in bioethics. The author and filmmaker has written an upcoming book featuring personal stories of both male and female detransitioners, the history behind the push to make transgenderism mainstream, and how gender ideology has eroded biomedical ethics. She is also about to release her third film on the subject.

The parents of children who have suddenly started identifying as “transgender” or other designations like “nonbinary” or “genderqueer” have suffered more than most people as a result of the invasion of gender ideology. This is especially the case in the medical arena as young people are now enticed down a path of experimental medicalization entailing risky procedures such as the use of cross-sex hormones and body-altering surgeries to appear more as the opposite sex. With this medicalization, parental rights are eroding as the age of consent laws for these medical practices have been lowered. 

In the third installment of season 3 of this podcast series, we’ll speak to a mom who managed to pull her daughter back from the proverbial ledge after her young daughter was swept up into the gender identity social contagion, another mom in agony whose daughter has gone as far as possible medically, and a dad who dared to push back against the medical establishment when his cancer-stricken son became convinced he was the other sex. This father was among those profiled in “Dead Name” an indie documentary film about the struggles parents face; the movie also features “Generation Indoctrination" host Brandon Showalter.

We also speak to Andrew Bailey, the current Attorney General of Missouri who, despite not having any of his kids mired in the trans craze is himself a concerned parent and has been fighting against the gender clinics in the Show Me State after a whistleblower came forward with sworn testimony about how children were being hurt and parents undermined at a transgender clinic in St. Louis. 

The grief and suffering of these moms and dads has been neglected in the mainstream press — but their voices must be heard.
