Do you think there's any way to guarantee a kid won't fall for the trans cult, or is it really just a crapshoot who buys into it and who doesn't upon contact with the internet (and the general social/political/educational world outside of the household)?
The only inoculation I’ve seen that makes sense is
-not letting kids be terminally online
-being aware of where they’re spending time on the internet and with who
-knowing who their friends are and encouraging healthy friends instead of destructive confused friends
-if there’s sexual trauma, addressing it as soon as possible with a trauma based therapist
-NOT SMASHING KIDS INTO STEREOTYPICAL GENDER ROLES.
That last one is huge, how many of these people say that they didn’t like sports etc growing up so they didn’t feel like men?
How many say they were expected to be feminine and raised in a house where they were encouraged to have stereotypical womanly habits and hobbies?
They all say “let kids be kids” but god forbid a little boy has a baby doll (because they have strong paternal feelings and that’s a sign they’ll be a good dad one day), or a little girl likes monster trucks and dressing like a tomboy.
Telling a little girl that she can like superheroes, wrestling, sports, etc and there’s no such thing as “acting like a boy” or “boy things” means she won’t feel a need to escape her sex to feel like she isn’t a freak or that she can be who she is.
If someone has a son that doesn’t want to play sports, likes tech, and doesn’t have luck with girls, get that kid into early engineering programs and Boy Scouts (are Boy Scouts still decent nowadays? Have no idea but it used to teach moral fiber, being a good citizen, and self sufficiency).
Despite all the crying about conservatives being oh so transitional and oppressive, absolutely *no one* reinforces archaic and stereotypical gender norms like the alphabet community does.
Cannot count the amount of conservative women I know that live in t shirts/jeans, never wear makeup even on their wedding day, and partake enthusiastically in gun culture, but try to find a pooner that does all 3.
You can’t.
Incredibly unpopular opinion in conservative culture: if someone grows up in a household where gay is literally the devil and the worst thing that someone can do is be gay, it’s not going to turn sons and daughters straight.
It’ll just make them self hating gays that troon out in confusion because living as a man/woman is better than being a fag or a dyke.
That doesn’t mean take kids to pride, but if they end up having a first relationship with someone of the same sex instead of the opposite sex, come at it from a “I don’t understand it but I love you anyways because you’re my son/daughter” reaction.
Is it optimal for a church going family?
Absolutely not.
Is it better than having a son show up in a sports bra and skirt demanding to be called Chloe, or a daughter that mutilates herself surgically plus a frog voice and a struggle ‘stache?
In my opinion, most definitely.
