I’ll say it: I’m fed up with transgender activism. It’s gone off the deep end.

You want the truth? The truth is that only a TINY FRACTION of people in our society claim to be transgender. 0.6% to be precise, according to a Pew Research study last year. And if you want to include people who say they’re “genderqueer” or nonbinary, the total rises to just 1.6%.

So we’re not talking about a huge chunk of the population, but you’d never know that based on what marketers are putting out these days...

Look at television commercials, for example. Or glance at the magazine covers in the grocery store checkout line. Or online digital ads and many social media “influencers.” Transgender messaging is all over the place, and you’d be hard pressed to find any major brand that hasn’t embraced transgenderism to some degree in its messaging.

Nike, Amazon, Maybelline, Starbucks, etc. – the list is a mile long. It’s like they’ve all been given a box to check. Some of those ads are subtle, while others are deliberately shocking. Even Bud Light has gone down this road recently.

Friends, NOBODY wishes harm on transgender individuals. They deserve to be treated fairly, just like everyone else. If you’re inclined to persecute someone in that community, that’s reprehensible and I’d suggest you look inward and try to be a better person.

But transgender activism is no longer about acceptance or even “pride” in who they claim to be. Now it’s an all-out assault on the senses. It’s an attempt to desensitize Americans, in order to normalize something the majority of Americans view as abnormal. It’s a push to bully corporate marketing departments into either endorsing & celebrating transgenderism or face calls for a boycott. And it’s an effort to bypass parents and influence children directly by way of advertising. 

Of course, to say anything like this is to be labeled “anti-trans” or a bigot or “a threat to the trans community.” Well, I’m sorry, but something needs to be said!

Most adults are able to process and handle this type of marketing. But children are not. Parents: the onus is on 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to manage what your children are exposed to, and to ensure it comports with your family’s beliefs and values.
