Liberty Counsel Wins Bible-based Christian Counseling for Gender Dysphoria Case

 

Liberty Counsel tore down yet another unlawful ban on Christian counseling this past week. 

The people of Waterloo, Iowa, are once again able to seek and receive Bible-based Christian counseling for gender dysphoria and unwanted same-sex attractions. 

Read on to learn how your support is making a difference, and what you can do to compel Congress to protect our children from designer-surgery cash cows. — Mat

Friend,

“Sex is not assigned at birth; it's established at conception,” writes Dr. Grossman, in her latest book, Lost in Trans Nation. “Brains always match the bodies to which they are attached; we are not Legos or Mr. Potato Heads that might be improperly assembled. 

Sex is binary. Sex is permanent. 

Males cannot become females and females cannot become males.”

Up until only recently, Dr. Grossman notes, the entire medical community (other than gender studies professors and grad students) recognized these truths to be self-evident and unmalleable.

“What was once an extraordinarily rare psychiatric disorder,” writes Dr. Grossman, has now “skyrocketed.” 

And government bureaucrats fueled by LGBTQ activists are trying to silence counselors and harm children with the most radical bill misnamed the “Equality Act” (HR 15).
 

STOP the sick experiments on our children. Tell Congress to VOTE NO on HR 15.

“Gender ideology has become a powerful social-political movement,” says Dr. Grossman. 

“It has taken over our once trusted medical, educational, and governmental institutions.” 

Dr. Grossman notes we are “blitzed” 24/7 with propaganda enforcing the radical feminist and gender theorists’ ideals — including gender-neutral names and pronouns, boys in the girls' bathrooms, and bearded men wearing makeup competing in girls' sports.

According to journalist Christopher Rufo, this push to chemically castrate and surgically mutilate our children rises from a hatred of the traditional family, pushed by anti-white, anti-heterosexual, radical feminist “gender theorists” who have taken over our university systems.


“Radical gender theorists argue that white, European men invented the ‘gender binary,’ or division between man and woman, in order to oppress racial and sexual minorities,” Rufo says. 

“They believe that this system of ‘heteronormativity’ must be exposed, critiqued, and deconstructed in order to usher in a world beyond the norms of heterosexual, middle-class society.”

“In order to facilitate the deconstruction of this system, radical gender activists promote synthetic sexual identities. . . . 

The goal is to replace notions of biological sex, the male-female binary, and the nuclear family with ‘queer alternatives,’” Rufo continued.

Television and movie studios are doing their part in the gender-bending propaganda to undermine God’s design for sexuality and family. 

I am Jazz, a reality show that glamorizes the life of a young man whose parents began “transitioning” him to be a “girl,” has run for the last eight seasons.

Not long after I am Jazz began airing, former male Olympian Bruce Jenner won Glamour’s “Woman of the Year” award.

Preteen shows like Raven’s Home rushed to add “trans” characters. 

And the Bippity Boppity Boo princess dress boutique at Disney World’s Orlando theme park is now manned by bearded men in full makeup, wrapped in satin ball gowns to escort children into the changing rooms.

You simply cannot make up this kind of insanity.

Don’t let radical anti-science “gender theorists” BAN Christian counseling. Give to the Liberty Counsel legal fund today.

The media glamorization and near constant propaganda coming from university professors and elementary school teachers alike has resulted in a massive increase in children thinking they have been born in the wrong body.

One would think that doctors and adults would prefer to treat these body and gender dysphoria patients with the least invasive form a treatment — like Christian talk therapy known as change counsel, which is tremendously successful in treating gender dysphoria and unwanted same-sex desires.

But perhaps because change counsel recognizes the natural family and God’s design, the gender-bending radicals seek to ban this non-invasive therapy. 

Instead, these radicals insist on cross-dressing toddlers, putting them on dangerous puberty blockers, and permanently damaging cross-sex hormones, all in preparation for expensive designer surgeries.

In May of this year, the City of Waterloo, IA, voted 6-1 to ban change counseling for its 65,000 residents. 

Our office received a desperate call from a counselor based in the city. His practice was about to be outlawed, and his patients left with no alternatives for treatment other than submitting to the LGBTQ agenda.

The counselor had heard of our win at the Court of Appeals and wanted our help to ensure his patients continued receiving the lifesaving treatment he was providing. Liberty Counsel sent the city a demand letter informing the city that it was violating the counselor and his patient’s civil rights.

 

Save Christian counseling!

Last week, the city council wisely chose to vote again. 

Faced with the prospect of costly litigation that they were sure to lose, based on our previous wins, the city council voted 4-3 to repeal the ban.

The people of Waterloo are once again free to choose Christian counseling. 

But the fight for our children’s future continues, as doctors and politicians alike continue to do the LGBTQ’s bidding. 

More than 80 states and localities across the nation continue to unlawfully ban Christian change counseling.

Meanwhile, the radicals in Congress are trying to permanently ban Christian counseling

If passed, HR 15, the intentionally misnamed “Equality Act,” will not only make Bible-based change counseling federally illegal, it will even make it unlawful on the level of racial discrimination for you, your pastor, or even your church.

The doctors, therapists, and others who are pushing the gender ideology are “guilty of malfeasance,” says Dr. Grossman. 

“They must be stopped and held responsible for the damage inflicted on children and families.”

She’s right. YOU can help stop these doctors and radicals by demanding that Congress VOTE NO on HR15.


Please take a stand for our innocent children now. Fax Congress and demand they VOTE NO on HR 15!
