Children & gender identity
Ideology & indoctrination
* Introduction *
Gender ideology is based entirely upon regressive sex-role stereotypes, such as “Boys play with trucks,” and “Girls like pink.” In the past, children were taught, for example, that if one is a boy, he must like and play sports, and if one is a girl, she must like to cook and play house. Today the gender industry has flipped this already unacceptable pigeon-holing, and created an even worse situation. Now children are told that if a girl likes and plays sports, she must actually be a boy inside, and if a boy likes to cook and play house, he is actually a girl who was born in a boy’s body. Advocates does not agree with these kinds of labels. Likewise, we do not give high value to the term gender-non-conforming because it assumes that certain attributes and preferences exist which are representative of females and others which are representative of males. We prefer to see all people given the freedom to express themselves and their talents/preferences irrespective of their sex category.

Gender ideology is the source of the belief that children can be born in the wrong body. It leads Californians to think that if a young girl feels anguish over her body, the doctors should not help her adjust to her body but should change her body and her surroundings—name, bathroom, pronouns—to conform to her “gender identity.” It fuels the spread of concepts like “gender identity”—including the many new supposed identities such as non-binary and pansexual—and the telling phrase “sex assigned at birth.” It inspires opaque proclamations like “transwomen are women.”

Children around the nation and the world are being indoctrinated into the idea that their bodies have nothing to say about what sex they are "inside." This ideology is putting millions of kids on a path of lifelong medicalization and labelling parents who don't capitulate to all of their children's demands as "transphobic," "toxic," and "hateful."
In less than two decades ‘transgender’ has gone from a term representing individuals and little used outside of specialist communities, to signifying a powerful political ideology driving significant social change. Young children are introduced to the latest ideas about sexual orientation and “gender identity” and immersed in an environment that idealizes being “queer.”
It’s important that children learn to accept differences; but indoctrinating them or promoting an agenda is another matter. Children develop at their own pace. Many aren’t psychologically or emotionally ready to discuss or think about their “identity.” The harm to children is physical as well as psychological.

Many people have complicated feelings about being human in sexed human bodies. These feelings do not collapse the reality of the sex binary. There are only males and females. We are still, as a species, sexually dimorphic mammals and are rooted in the material world by this fact. We must hold fast to this root when battling the hydra of gender ideology. Gender ideology was corporately constructed to break this bond, to introduce us to new ways of reproducing our species. The ideology was seeded everywhere before it was dropped on our societies, promoting a human rights movement. It is deeply entrenched in all our institutions, corporations, media, and the market.

The transgender movement is pressing its agenda everywhere. Most publicly, activist teachers are using classrooms to propagandize on its behalf and activist health professionals are promoting the mutilation of children under the euphemistic banner of “gender-affirming care.” The sudden and pervasive rise of this movement provokes two questions: where did it come from, and how has it proved so successful? The story goes deeper than most Americans know.

* Transgender Lobby *
We begin with an investigation into the forces working to shape our information landscape when it comes to transgender policies. When an issue goes from zero to 60 practically overnight, grabbing headlines, political real estate, and funding priorities — you can bet there’s an invisible hand in play. Today, some of the surprising interests we found behind the well-funded transgender lobby.
In December of 2021, Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling made news with a tweet. She criticized replacing the word “women” with the trans-friendly phrase, “people who menstruate.” Rowling suffered a backlash, was called “transphobic" and even threatened with violence, she says. Hers is hardly a fringe view. A recent survey shows a majority of Americans, 71%, believe there are only two genders: male and female. But expressing that has become increasingly forbidden.

* Our Duty *
Our Duty is an international support network for parents who wish to protect their children from gender ideology. Gender ideology is a set of ideas that is leading to many children to think that they are transgender. Adolescents in particular are prone to seeking refuge in a gender identity that is at odds with the reality of their sex.

Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) is a type of gender dysphoria that begins suddenly, either during or after puberty in an adolescent or young adult. ROGD affects both sexes, but in recent years there has been a huge increase in cases involving adolescent or young adult females. According to the most recent figures from the Gender Identity Development Service, almost three-quarters of children seeking to change their ‘gender’ are girls.
It seems to come out of the blue, including amongst children who may have been anything other than stereotypically masculine or feminine and is associated with intensive use of internet and social media transgender sites and forums, and often occurs in a peer group where one or more friends have become gender dysphoric and transgender identified around the same time.
It is important to note that children will not think of themselves as transgender without it being presented to them as a valid or even likely option to explain their natural feelings of discomfort. In recent years, the whole of society has effectively become one huge machine for the indoctrination of children into transgenderism.
Instead of promoting gender ideology, schools and wider society need to be promoting critical thinking skills and practical self-improvement customised to the child’s susceptibilities.
A quick look on the internet throws up a host of transgender vlogs acting as guides for young people preparing to visit their own GP or clinician. Thought-terminating clichés are everywhere: ‘Some people are trans, get over it!’ Tips and feedback are shared on exactly what to say to achieve a transgender diagnosis.Once this is obtained, the path opens up for teenagers and young people to access life changing medication and radical surgery.

* Transgender Trend *
Transgender Trend advocates for the most vulnerable children who are caught up in the recent trend in society to replace the objective reality of sex with the subjective idea of ‘gender identity’ as the criteria for being a man or being a woman. ‘Gender identity’ ideology teaches children who don’t conform to masculine or feminine stereotypes that their personalities are ‘wrong’ for their sex, and their bodies are then ‘wrong’ for their gender identity.
Boys and girls should be able to wear what they like and have whatever interests they choose without adult interpretation through the lens of a non-scientific, ideological belief that human beings are born with an innate sense of being male or female, which is inevitably based on sex stereotypes.
In schools all children deserve to be taught science-based facts, not ideology disguised as ‘fact’. All children have the right to privacy from the opposite sex in toilets and changing-rooms. Policy in schools must always put safeguarding first and schools should not use resources that confuse children about sex. Children should not be coerced into expressing a belief in ‘gender identity’ through the threat that not to do so is ‘unkind’ or ‘transphobic’.
