The conservative press machine is gearing up with a blitz of anti-trans articles. The Daily Signal a multimedia news organization of The Heritage Foundation has a dozy.

I Used to Be Transgender. Here’s My Take on Kids Who Think They Are Transgender.

My Transgender Story
Living in a self-made gender fantasy world void of reality is not psychologically or emotionally healthy.

I know that to be true. I was transgender kid at the age of 4. For decades, as I tried to live in my male birth gender, the feelings of being a woman only grew stronger.

I sought help from a renowned gender specialist who told me that mine was a clear-cut case of gender dysphoria—strong, persistent feelings of identification with the opposite gender and discomfort with one’s own assigned sex. He said the only way to get relief was to surgically change genders.

I underwent gender reassignment surgery at 42 years of age after cross-dressing for most of my life.

I lived as a transgender, Laura Jensen, female, for eight years. While studying psychology in a university program, I discovered that trans kids most often are suffering from a variety of disorders, starting with depression—the result of personal loss, broken families, sexual abuse, and unstable homes. Deep depression leads kids to want to be someone other than who they are.

Hmm… do you think it might be because of people who tell us we are damned and going to hell? Or maybe because of people calling us pervert and child rapists? Could it possibly be because of parents throwing their child out on the streets to fend for themselves?

The transgender life is often the direct result of early childhood difficulty or trauma. Assisting a young child into the fabricated ideology of a transgender life is not helping the child sort out what is real and what is fiction.

Oh most definitely let’s blame it on the parents… lets maybe the father was away all the time working to keep the family feed and with a roof over their heads. I know! It must have been because their mother didn’t allow them to have an extra piece of cake. We have heard conservatives blame the parents on being gay, autism, being a bully, being shy, and just about everything in between. Gee, for me I had two loving parents, my father worked a nine to five job and my mother was a housewife. I wonder what they would blame me being trans on?

For them the only “family” is like the old television show “Father Knows Best”

Then there is an article in the Federalist,

Have We Finally Reached Peak Transgender?
Men competing as women at the Olympics, LGBT themes on 30 to 45 percent of prime-time television, and influence at the White House—please tell me we’ve reached the transgender high-water mark.

State and local lawmakers across the country are dealing with a barrage of proposals about whether men and boys claiming to be transgender will get legal cover to force their way into both public and privately owned bathrooms and showers with women and girls.

For the 2016 spring Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, officials have indicated they will allow a man who is still packing his “tools” to compete as a female if he has low testosterone and claims to be a female. Under the new Olympic standard, a man with low T can now compete equally with biologically correct females even with all his male parts intact.

And then we have television and the movies, with trans and lesbians and gay characters! Good heaven!

On almost every television network, the preponderance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) characters and storylines is inescapable, almost to the point of saturation, even though it’s completely out of proportion to the real-world LGBT population of an estimated 3.4 percent.

Wow! Four or five shows or movies have trans characters and all of a sudden it is a “preponderance” and notice how the article is about transgender people and now we are lumped in with the gays and lesbians, I guess they couldn’t find enough trans shows to complain about go that added lesbians and gays.

Is it deliberate? Yes. The push to normalize LGBT characters has become all too predictable. We’re in the midst of a major, deliberate, well-executed social indoctrination coming from the entertainment industry, the White House, and pro-trans LGBT activists.

Let’s see if I got my latest “LGBT Agenda newsletter yet. Maybe it is because the media thinks that they can make money off of us? Somehow I don’t think television or movies are going to do anything that they think will cost them money or viewership.
