to be so-called gender affirming and essentially view anyone who did not affirm a child's so-called transgender identity as causing that child harm, neglect, and abuse.
I mean, that's really, I think, the big takeaway.
Yeah, so they were creating a lot of documentation, a series of trainings.
So they would have these webinars and there's some of this stuff even available online.
So they'll have like, say you're a local child welfare agency and you are mandated to train your staff in how to, we'll say, reduce child abuse, right?
So you need to find tools to do that.
So they're essentially creating these tools that a child welfare agency could then go and
and use if they wanted to give their staff LGBTQ training or they wanted to teach them how to help families be quote unquote affirming of their child's gender identity.
So that was one way they're doing it.
They were also pinpointing leaders across the country to be part of this special SOGI champions program
where they would receive special coaching, special trainings to then go back and implement these very radical policies in their own agencies.
And one of the emails I found that was really caught my eye was where one of the staff members who was working within HHS said that they had their intern create a list of agencies that were in states where attorney generals had opposed
the LGBTQ foster care rule.
So they were really finding a way then to target agencies in states that may be in red states, probably if any attorney general opposing that was probably a red state, to go in then kind of underneath all of that and just go directly to the local child welfare agency and help train them to implement these policies.
this plan to take it off so tell us tell us that mother's story yes so um this mom uh this story is unfortunately a story that i've heard from parents across the country uh that these stories are very underreported but she was a christian mom and her daughter was in an oregon oregon school system which is very pro-transgender if you go on their website they have
a whole database of telling teachers and staff how you can create a secret gender plan, all the things that I'm sure listeners have heard about.
And so she would not affirm her daughter's
transgender identity and the state came in and said, you are committing child abuse through the form of a mental injury.
So one of the things to know is that every state has its own definition of what constitutes child abuse.
And obviously, like, child abuse is horrific.
