Research and Resources about the "Myths of Gender Affirming Care." The Paradox Institute has created a powerful, research-based pamphlet that you can order or print at home to use in discussions within your community.
​
Gender dysphoria is a condition in which a person feels incongruent with their biological sex, causing extreme psychological distress.[1] “Gender Affirming Care” is promoted as a lifesaving treatment. It involves social and medical transition: the patient dressing as the opposite sex while taking puberty blockers and/or cross-sex hormones to alter their physical features.
Studies have shown that 43-75% of adolescents with gender dysphoria have at least one type of psychiatric comorbidity.[2] “Gender Affirming Care” ignores many of these contributing factors to gender dysphoria [3], such as:
-
Anxiety disorders
-
Mood disorders
-
Depression
-
Eating disorders
-
Autism spectrum disorders
-
Dissociative identity disorders
-
Substance abuse
-
Childhood trauma

SCHOOLS
​
Courage Is A Habit creates tools & strategies for the average parent so they can defend their child from indoctrination in the K-12 system. We do not just point out the problem, we give you the knowledge and confidence to do something about it.
​
The education system has changed drastically. Radical theory based indoctrination has swept across the nation’s education system. Amongst many harmful theories and belief systems being taught to children, educators are teaching children to keep secrets from their parents, undermining important familial and cultural values and exposing children to obscene content including pornography. There’s been an increase in teacher on student sexual abuse. The public and even private school environment is facilitating grooming behaviors and as a result, children are rendered increasingly vulnerable to more egregious harms like sexual abuse. It’s extremely important to stay active in children’s lives in order to protect them. That’s why we’ve partnered with Courage Is A Habit to provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the harms of SEL, opt-out forms for data mining, surveys and more.

Specific Topics/Resources of Note:

Obscene books are making their way into the hands of kids via school and public libraries. Freedom Forever is dedicated to protecting children by uncovering which titles contain obscene material and cataloging them into a list for parents to reference as a safeguard for their children.
​
This letter is another option specifically for opting kids out of Sex Education, (as it used to be called) now disguised under different titles. "Family Life Education" is a commonly used curriculum title and the approach contains increasingly controversial material (abortion as birth control, masturbation, oral sex, how to engage sexually with the same sex, etc.).
​
This letter also includes language to opt your child out of mental health and socio-emotional screenings that may be conducted at the school. AGAIN, you will have to take an active role to research your state's particular laws & code to support your request; but it is worth it.
​
You have the right to opt your child out of this curriculum and the overreach of public school systems. Make sure you know the laws in your state and then use the provided letter to customize for your needs.
