feeling like they're in the wrong body.
But yet they're pushing this, and we're going to do some shows that are already taped that are revealing what the real results of this are, and I think people are going to be shocked that these medical organizations have signed off on this.
I think they've just given in to the pressure.
Well, I don't think thatβ It's gaslighting.
I just don't think that there's evidence to suggest that's true.
But America's not far behind that because I've talked to a lot of teachers, and they're telling me that they have a duty to the children that if the child is not ready to talk to their parents about this, that it's okay for them to keep a secret from the child.
Now, let me tell you what my problems with this are and see what you think.
First off, this is either a psychological phenomenon or a medical phenomenon.
And the teachers are not trained in either psychology or medicine.
They're not any more trained to deal with that than they are to take out the kid's spleen in the homeroom.
So if that's true, if it's a psychological thing, if it's gender dysphoriaβ
or it's a medical issue, then you need someone trained in child psychology, psychiatry, or medicine.
And the teacher's not trained in any of those three things.
Like I say, they're not even more trained in that than they are to take out the child's spleen.
So how are they qualified to deal with that?
Secondly, it's teaching the child to keep a secret from their parents.
It's teaching deception and interfering between the child's relationship with their parent.
Now, their issue, their justification for that is, well, if the child goes home and
announces this or if we tell it to the parent, then the child could get abused.
