The 'Trans Child' Is A Sacred Cow To Activists Working Inside US Child Welfare Agencies

Notes on the strategic culture of 'gender identity'

Gender identity ideology is often likened to a cult or pseudo-religion. Here at The Distance, we have approached the gender identity belief system as an historical faith formation process because that framework has value for analysis. We are not alone in this endeavor. Just to cite one example, the inimitable Eliza Mondegreen studies online “trans communities” as cultic societies reinforcing belief, banishing doubt, and enforcing conformity. Many parents of children who experience ‘gender distress’ report the impression that “affirming” schools, therapeutic professionals, and community leaders have all joined a cult. And so on.

All cults have sacred beliefs. The cult of the “transgender child” is just one core belief of the gender cult. It wants to “save” children from non-affirming parents. For example, the state of Montana is currently “saving” a 14-year-old girl with mental health issues from her parents, Krista and Todd Kolstad, because they object to the staff of a hospital grooming their child into their cult. Although they deleted their YouTube video crying out for justice, the Kolstads defied a judge’s Orwellian ruling long enough to get the notice of Reduxx, who have now seen the receipts.

While the medical transitioning of minors was prohibited in the state of Montana at the time, Krista says the hospital told her that “social transitioning” was a “grey area” and continued to call Jennifer “Leo” and refer to her as a boy.

As a patient admitted for suicidal ideations, Jennifer was placed on 24/7 watch to keep her safe. But Krista says an aide was placed outside of her door who would regularly talk to Jennifer about “gender affirming” care.

“I came one day and she was talking about having top-surgery and being non-binary,” Krista says of the aide. She took her complaint to the on-duty Doctor, who dismissed her. “He told me, ‘why are not you more concerned that your daughter is trying to harm herself, then what [the aide] is talking about?'”

Another aide who had been set to watch over Jennifer similarly chastised Krista, telling her to “respect” Jennifer’s wishes to be called “Leo.”

It bears repeating that the type of social movement which threatens suicide, self-harm, or violence if the world does not conform to their beliefs is called a “cult.” A troubled teenager threatening suicide is exactly the sort of person that violent, harmful cults seek to recruit. This is cult recruiting, in plain sight, through the auspices of public institutions, in a state that has banned pediatric transition. This is a cult that inhabits the professional, managerial class across America.
