Funny, I was looking around purple states for a non-woke high school and actually looked (on-line) at Colorado Academy. We left the hot bed of Manhattan and yep, this stuff is being introduced at child’s new (non-NYC) independent K-8 school.

Here's how it is working between the "health professionals," schools, legislators and your children in many states. We are from Colorado so here's the CO example:
1. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ("CDPHE") contracts with The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center (“Anschutz”) to survey kids about their mental health issues.
2. In 2021, Healthy Kids Colorado Survey was given to more than 106,000 students, in grades 6-12 attending 340 schools in 51 different counties in Colorado. www.coloradokids.org
3. Question #3 of the Survey asks kids to state their gender identity. Questions 4 and 5 ask questions specifically about transgenderism.
4. Questions are "aggregated and anonymized" by Anschutz to populate CDPHE's public data dashboard. In other words, CDPHE can't tell me which schools were surveyed. Schools have no duty to tell parents any information about kids social transitioning in school.
5. CRS 12-245-2035, codified in 2019, allows "youth who are 12 and over to have legal access to outpatient psychotherapy services that might otherwise be unavailable without the consent of or notification to the youth's parent or legal guardian."
6. HB 23-1003, currently about to become law, creates a Mental Health Assessment program, administered by CDPHE that specifies that "students 12 and over may consent to participate in a mental health questionnaire (presumably the same one as above), administered by a Qualified Provider who can direct additional treatment of the student without the parent's consent. Presumably all the referrals are for “specialists” at Anschutz.
11. Sex-reassignment surgery was valued at $1.9B for 2021 and “and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.23% from 2022 to 2030.”
Where's the new school? Colorado Academy teaches gender ideology as early as Kindergarten. We are in the process of undoing all the ideological training. We paid a ton of money to have our kids' minds totally poisoned.
A friend of mine that pulled her kids out of private school said the funniest, albeit tragic, statement: "Well, you can get it for free or you can pay for it."
Have you taken the phone away? Or at the very least, put monitors on it? Ditto on their computers? Ensured they aren't on harmful Social media apps, like Tiktok?
If you're not using one, it doesn't matter what school your kid goes to, they will get indoctrinated.
I'd ensure they go nowhere near TikTok or Discord.
I worry about my younger daughter, 12 who is very impressionable. She won't get a phone until 8th grade or later, but she has access to her IPad and my phone and my husband's phone. She is sneaky.
She was checking out Deviant Art on my mom's phone. So, I had her watch TV in my bedroom so I could keep an eye on her and she started watching a bunch of anime. I would need a phD in computer engineering to keep up with her hacking skills.
This was back in 5th grade, two years ago and she had several non-binary/trans kids in her class (all biological females). Back then, we didn't realize the pernicious progression of this nonsense; we were piecing it together.
It seems to go something like this: pronouns glorified at school > Deviant art website > Discord > Anime > Tiktok> GSA (Gay Straight Alliance which is now Gender Sexuality Alliance -- although our school denied this even though they were well aware of the rebranding) > social transitioning > puberty blockers > "top surgery." Shriver discusses a lot of this. Have any parents seen additional pathways?
Yes, it's a dangerous world. I also have conversations, probably once a month about the perniciousness and the danger of the transgender ideology. And I contrast it with how the world was...oh, up until ten years ago.
And though they sometimes go around my methods of watching them (with the apps and such), and it's no fun punishing kids (they seem not to understand that we don't buy them things for the sole purpose of the joy we get from taking them away!), in the end, I feel a lot safer knowing that they're avoiding all the "crazy" out there.
Good for you! My husband and I knew that transexual "rights" were on the rise when our daughter ROGDed but never imagined it would jump out of the middle aged men category or be promoted in high school. Perhaps parents today do have one advantage in that they know they need to tell their kids that sex is binary - a too obvious fact for us to have thought of discussing in 2017. She chastised us for never telling her about the weird nonsense - like it was truth we kept from her.
I agree that safety controls are good. I also think that having kids use computers and televisions out in the open where you can see what they watch is best. Then, if something disturbing comes up you have a chance to discuss it. Pretty much all content on TV seems to be laced with GI now. You really cannot keep this entirely away from your daughter because it is the culture now. This is why I want to see GI debunked and a museum made to the atrocities that transpired. Something you can do is get your child busy with real things in the real world - especially in nature. Maybe she could get a small job dog walking? Or, is there a nearby farm where she might pitch-in? 4thwavenow.com came before PITT and the mother who ran that site sent her teen daughter to work at a horse farm & she desisted. Maybe a little preemptive dog walking would be good?
I've had my kids computers in the open and we use them all in the same room. Even my 21 year old, still living at home son still has his computer in the same place it was seven years ago.
Hi JakeD. You offer good advice. But... nothing will be enough until society understands that GI is junk science and a junk civil rights movement wrapped up into a cult.
Our feminine daughter was half way through high school with a flip phone when we learned she'd been groomed by other kids at school. We didn't even know that any girls or women went for transexuality but we were not on board with social media (without "trans" on our brains). And, our house Wifi went off at night. ROGD hit us. Abigail Shrier published her article in the WSJ and later her book which I eagerly awaited. Lisa Littman published a study. I couldn't believe that the NYT and everywhere else just published rah rah articles like those of "Jennifer" Boylan. And, no one cared about this issue in the last election. What good are "conservatives" who cannot conserve our daughters? Now, we have First Female 4 Star Admiral Richard Levine running policy and a Supreme Court Justice who does not know what a woman is.
Our former high school now invites "FTMs" (Cosmetically Masculinized Women who I prefer to call CMW) to assemblies to talk about their lived experiences - or something.
Families move, they try to cut off everything, but just like with Anorexia and Bomelia, it finds girls in every society that hears about it. The difference is that we never celebrated those. They didn't make fetished men feel validated. People were not making vast sums of money off of them. And, there was not this potential to use body parts to fulfill a sick fantasy. Have you seen this one? https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2023/01/16/childrens-hospital-talks-about-uterus-transplants-n2618349 Have you noticed that we are not allowed to say that anything at all is sick? It isn't kind. We even have the normalization of pedophilia movement with MAPS. Ok, maybe an infinitesimal number of men had this thing called Gender Identity Disorder, but lets face that it is a mental disorder - even if some of them "treat" (damage) their bodies for it.
These days our young adult daughter is very busy doing some real things in the real world. She is loving again, physically unhurt, and I suspect mostly desisted. No one in the family ever went for a nut name or pronoun so she doesn't have to explain anything to us. But, I think it is embarrassing for young people to admit they made a goof - especially with peers...
These days I want justice. I want to see some "experts" lose their licenses. I want to see jail time. I'd be fine with bringing back the gallows for a few. Examples need to be made (legally). - LM
While I agree that society needs to change - that takes time, and kids are being impacted NOW. I am recommending things that can be done now, today, so that some protections can be made and the transgender attack fought back against.
Obviously, some of those wouldn't have worked in your situation, and I can only imagine how hard all that must have been that you've had to deal with. I'm also thankful that you and your daughter have come out the other side, safe and whole.
In the end, nothing beats attentive and involved parenting, but parents can't be there all the time, and whatever tools we can find to help in this rapidly changing world, help fill the gap.
Thank you JakeD. I appreciate your responses and we are in firm agreement.
Maybe depending on circumstances and the degree to which this trans travesty grows and infiltrates all spaces, it will be impossible for some to protect their children. That's why I think hard about how it can be taken down. It's junk science and a junk "civil rights movement" in need of being exposed to the public. Then, I think we need to see a few - like Richard Levine - serve jail time for promoting the mutilation of children based on pseudoscience.
Agreed. And on the positive side, it seems like almost daily, we're seeing some of this being peeled back. In an odd way, we can thank Elon Musk - we might just owe our country to him at some point, since one of Twitter's chief content moderators was himself a Trans! Obviously, the purchase of Twitter, and the impact on the freedom of speech, and now things like the "Twitter Files" - all have impacted the level of discourse in this country.
And it seems like, while the tide hasn't turned, at least there's acknowledgement that there's actually a battle to be fought.
To think that American liberty might just have come down to Elon Musk. I think he fired most of the "content moderators".
Where I live most people don't seem to have heard of the Twitter Files or have any awareness of the Trans Travesty around them even though so many girls suffer. Still, I think that bubble will be popped as word spreads in other places - and I am hopeful that Chloe Cole wins big and that we get a President DeSantis.
You and me both! I noticed last night that Matt Taibbi and Michael S. were in Congress yesterday discussing the Twitter Files. Again, no tide turning, progress is very slowly being made!
Loving Mother- I am sorry for the pain your daughter and self have had to endure at the hands of the school and healthcare union that abused your child. The abuse is rampant and pervasive. The Catholic Church of the 1970's have nothing on the gender identity abuse being thrust on kids. Imagine if the Cardinal of Boston said- 'The priest was not a child rapist of the altar boy- he was just Minor Attracted Person acting out. We will now send him to NM to recover"
They should lose license first and prosecute for neglect for sure. However this candle was lit a long time ago with schools & healthcare workers being involved in mandated reporters and custody cases in family court. This is where the empowerment of the beast began. Anonymous reporting that is redacted unless a criminal act is proved by the reporter. Complete lack of accountability with power. Power in the hands of people who unlike police have no training to investigate, but special policing duties to report. Due to the compartmentalization of their reports someone can easily hide a prejudice or an agenda. Most people are responsible, but if you are a bad MSW- you can cause havoc, just like the MSW's are in this story. Add money, like in custody cases and family court, and you have a lethal combination for kids and families. A whole new brand of abuse was born and in this case physicians and clinicians are lining up to reap the dollars on the souls of the kids.
They are the largest parasitic ticks buried in. Everyone needs to keep in mind it is not just their own liability, but the larger institutions liability that they endangered. The larger institutions are vicious. These are the same people who shield serial killers at hospitals to protect the institutions. i.e. The Good Nurse on Netflix. They will not report deaths and disfigurements to protect liability. These people need to be made criminally liable for hiding things like this. Once you know or suspect something is harming or killing patients you should have a mandated reporting duty when they know there is a problem within their ecosystem like within the transgender nightmare. Also if you know you have a habitual reporter who is creating false abuse claims for custody issues or a hero complex, and yes this exists with Social Workers and Nurses, these people needed to be held criminally liable and have immediate licensure suspended and/or revoked.
I think that Federal "Female" Richard Levine (alias of Rachael) should go on criminal trail. But, I doubt it will happen as such people seem to be immune/live by different rules from the rest of us, once elevated to federal government.
I agree with every word and I'm so glad your daughter is safe.
Agree with you about the "experts." I actually think parents should start patronizing Doctors who actively disagree with the gender affirming recommendations of the AAP, in favor of gender-critical practitioners.
Yes. I think it might have to be a doctor in private practice. If the doctor belongs to a medical organization it is likely the organization insists they "affirm" - at least in the US - hopefully not in Costa Rica! In some states doctors can lose their licences for being "gender-critical"/non-believers.
It's horrifying, isn't it? I actually had to write everything down because it was so surreal that I would doubt my recollection for the rest of my life if I hadn't.
Yes. I was physically shaking to find they were calling my girl a crazy name and "he". And, they refused to stop, but patronized me instead. Classroom teachers know your kid so well and you the mother must not have paid attention to her growing up or something. The other thing the teachers have been trained to do is beam and smile about it while you feel you will crumble to the ground. If someone really did have a mental disorder called gender dysphoria (which I did not think for a min our daughter did) why would you start doing a happy dance about it? The whole thing has such a cult religious nature. Like - Jesus has been found to be talking through your child! Holy holy holy holy. You've got one.
Then, since you the mother are clearly upset you are offered counseling which is all about gaslighting the parent to go along with it. Parents are pressured to attend these "support" meetings which are really all about how GI is real and getting you to believe. I did not attend.
This one really is on the adults. Teens can be driven by peers to do weird stuff - but the adults in the room? I really do think a few "experts" need jail sentences.
I am so sorry to hear about your story. I completely agree with you. The school was "agreeing" with every thing I said and then not changing a thing. My 10 year-old was having nightmares because they showed her a movie suggesting that black people were CURRENTLY in the US being handcuffed and pushed off buildings for violating curfew laws. She asked to go somewhere on spring break where segregation was illegal. There were several girls in her 4th grade class social transitioning in school. I had never heard of puberty blockers until she told me in 5th grade (!) that her classmates were taking them. I'm 48 and have voted for Democrats for most of my life. The shit that the Democrats are up to right now is so poisonous that I will never vote for another Democrat as long as I live. The overreach is horrifying.
My husband and I promised to take the year off from the stress of all this stuff in Costa Rica. But, guess what?! The first people we met had a very similar experience as yours. They were just here to keep their kids safe.
Agree with you on all fronts. Please keep fighting the fight.
Thank you for sharing your story. Terrible. It's good your family can stay in Costa Rica. So smart to leave when your daughter was so young. I am not surprised you met another family fleeing the madness. I hope the ideology does not infiltrate the culture there. Our daughter is older than yours. I don't think I'd heard of "puberty blockers" even when we had the ROGD experience in high school. I'm worried about future generations, too.
Yes, I have voted for Ds and Rs - having been an Independent all my life. I don't think I will vote for a D again and I will not vote for any R unwilling to "fight a culture war". I wonder whether Tulsi Gabbard could run on the ticket with Ron DeSantis.
Thank you for the great link you provided recently.
Very bad. But, at least you know to tell your daughter that the pronoun thing is bad and your family isn't for it. And, she's young so she will listen to you.
Funny, I was looking around purple states for a non-woke high school and actually looked (on-line) at Colorado Academy. We left the hot bed of Manhattan and yep, this stuff is being introduced at child’s new (non-NYC) independent K-8 school.
It’s frightening!

I take one, and only one, exception to your comment: Rachel Levine is NOT female. :)
Right. He's a man named Richard who started going by the alias "Rachael" a few years ago.
I think that for people like him we need to start saying the truth - that he has an "alias" - not a spirit name or whatever.
I agree with every word and I'm so glad your daughter is safe.
Agree with you about the "experts." I actually think parents should start patronizing Doctors who actively disagree with the gender affirming recommendations of the AAP, in favor of gender-critical practitioners.
Thank you. I think she is...
Yes. I think it might have to be a doctor in private practice. If the doctor belongs to a medical organization it is likely the organization insists they "affirm" - at least in the US - hopefully not in Costa Rica! In some states doctors can lose their licences for being "gender-critical"/non-believers.
It's horrifying, isn't it? I actually had to write everything down because it was so surreal that I would doubt my recollection for the rest of my life if I hadn't.
Yes. I was physically shaking to find they were calling my girl a crazy name and "he". And, they refused to stop, but patronized me instead. Classroom teachers know your kid so well and you the mother must not have paid attention to her growing up or something. The other thing the teachers have been trained to do is beam and smile about it while you feel you will crumble to the ground. If someone really did have a mental disorder called gender dysphoria (which I did not think for a min our daughter did) why would you start doing a happy dance about it? The whole thing has such a cult religious nature. Like - Jesus has been found to be talking through your child! Holy holy holy holy. You've got one.
Then, since you the mother are clearly upset you are offered counseling which is all about gaslighting the parent to go along with it. Parents are pressured to attend these "support" meetings which are really all about how GI is real and getting you to believe. I did not attend.
This one really is on the adults. Teens can be driven by peers to do weird stuff - but the adults in the room? I really do think a few "experts" need jail sentences.
I am so sorry to hear about your story. I completely agree with you. The school was "agreeing" with every thing I said and then not changing a thing. My 10 year-old was having nightmares because they showed her a movie suggesting that black people were CURRENTLY in the US being handcuffed and pushed off buildings for violating curfew laws. She asked to go somewhere on spring break where segregation was illegal. There were several girls in her 4th grade class social transitioning in school. I had never heard of puberty blockers until she told me in 5th grade (!) that her classmates were taking them. I'm 48 and have voted for Democrats for most of my life. The shit that the Democrats are up to right now is so poisonous that I will never vote for another Democrat as long as I live. The overreach is horrifying.
My husband and I promised to take the year off from the stress of all this stuff in Costa Rica. But, guess what?! The first people we met had a very similar experience as yours. They were just here to keep their kids safe.
Agree with you on all fronts. Please keep fighting the fight.
Thank you for sharing your story. Terrible. It's good your family can stay in Costa Rica. So smart to leave when your daughter was so young. I am not surprised you met another family fleeing the madness. I hope the ideology does not infiltrate the culture there. Our daughter is older than yours. I don't think I'd heard of "puberty blockers" even when we had the ROGD experience in high school. I'm worried about future generations, too.
Yes, I have voted for Ds and Rs - having been an Independent all my life. I don't think I will vote for a D again and I will not vote for any R unwilling to "fight a culture war". I wonder whether Tulsi Gabbard could run on the ticket with Ron DeSantis.
Thank you for the great link you provided recently.
The American teachers at our (very normal international) school in Costa Rica are bringing it here. They are starting by talking about pronouns.
Very bad. But, at least you know to tell your daughter that the pronoun thing is bad and your family isn't for it. And, she's young so she will listen to you.
