I Have a Dream and a Word for 2025

Let’s Return to Solid Values and Truth

As a parent, I have chosen a word for 2025: Truth.

To expand on that theme, here are twenty dreams I have for the new year. I believe these dreams can become a reality if enough people return to what is true and take action to honor the truth.

1. Truth-telling is once again considered a value. It is not possible to change one’s sex, and no one is born in the wrong body. Doctors don’t “assign” sex; they identify it as female or male in utero and/or at birth. (For clarity, the term “intersex” is a medical condition/disorder of sexual development, not a gender identity.) People can choose from an infinite number of personality expressions and traits, such as masculine or feminine, but one’s sex is either male or female—not subject to choice.

2. Birth certificates are documents of truth and historical record, and people realize that altered birth certificates do not respect the family and ancestral past, present, or future. Original birth certificates can no longer be altered to change birth sex and name, and birth certificates that have already been altered and falsified for in-the-moment wishes of a preferred, new “gender identity” are returned to their original state of facts, which honor true historical records.

3. The healthy breasts and healthy reproductive organs of girls and young women are no longer surgically removed. Instead, the girl or young woman who is experiencing transgender ideation is helped to understand why she wants to disown a part of her body, disassociate from being a woman, and opt out of her opportunity later in life to choose to have a child of her own or breastfeed a baby. She is presented with natural options to alleviate her distress, leaving her body and health intact.

4. The healthy genitals of boys and young men are no longer surgically removed. Instead, the boy or young man who is experiencing transgender ideation is helped to understand why he is disowning a part of his body, disassociating from being a man, and opting out of his opportunity to potentially become a father should his wishes change when he is older. He is presented with natural options to alleviate his distress, leaving his body and health intact.

5. Surgeons are not allowed to remove healthy body parts such as breasts, penises/testicles, and healthy and functional reproductive organs of our children and young adults, because it is impossible for children and young adults to give informed consent to possible sterilization in the name of an ideology, and these elective procedures create a host of potential side effects and lasting damage, such as the loss of sexual function, chronic pain, deformity, and a multitude of other issues, that the child or young adult will deal with for the rest of their life.

6. Doctors are not allowed to prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to our children and young adults. A fixation on transgender ideation does not indicate a need to prescribe irreversible medical interventions. Instead, medical professionals will evaluate and treat the range of underlying comorbidities that exist and help the child and young adult to accept and honor their natural body and innate physiology to increase their chance of having a healthy, intact body as they age and mature.

7. Schools teach children reading, writing, math, science, history, and the skills to grow up and be functional, competent, resilient leaders who can solve complex problems and utilize critical thinking. Schools stop promoting the indoctrination of queer theory and gender identity ideology.

8. Drag queen reading hour for children is banned. Children are protected from individuals who present themselves in libraries and educational settings as the opposite sex in dress or mannerisms that accentuate negative or regressive stereotypes or who have an agenda to normalize the presentation or behavior of pretending to be of the opposite sex.

9. Fairness in sports returns because genetic/biological males are no longer allowed to compete in sports as females just because they wish they were girls or women. Integrity and sportsmanship are once again valued, as boys and men who currently participate in girls/women’s sports exit the girls/women’s teams and competitions. Open or mixed divisions may need to be created for those who wish to play with an “identity” not in alignment with their birth sex.

10. Boys and men respect girls and women and do not gain access to their private spaces or gain memberships in their organizations.

11. Reparations are made to any girl or woman after any boy or man took away an opportunity of any kind in sports, such as a team position, medal, trophy, scholarship, or sponsorship, or harmed a girl or woman while presenting himself as a female.

12. Apologies and reparations are made to any person who lost a job, position, license, or professional opportunity because another person presented themselves as the opposite gender or who endured threats or violence from an identity activist or political activist.

13. Parents regain their right to parent their children, particularly when it comes to their child’s education and health, and parents are again respected for protecting their children’s bodies from invasive, unproven treatments, which are being pushed upon them from gender ideology agendas and captured educational/medical professionals and institutions.

14. Children are returned to their parents with reparations after they were removed from their parental homes and placed in foster care because the parents believed in truth-telling about their child’s biological sex.

15. Social media accounts are banned if they promote and profit from encouraging self-harm and the modification of the natural body with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and the surgical removal of healthy body parts.

16. Investigations are launched and legal action is taken for any person or organization that promotes modifying healthy bodies in the name of gender identity ideology and profits from puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and healthy breast/genital/reproductive organ removal.

17. The use of false or meaningless pronouns and the focus on an ever-growing list of “identities” cease.

18. Identity flags are taken down in schools and places of business. City, state, and US flags are again honored, uniting rather than dividing our society.

19. Companies, organizations, and medical professionals that financially profit from medicalizing healthy children with unnecessary body-altering surgeries and drugs, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, are closed, severely penalized, or have their licenses suspended.

20. Radical identity politics and agendas are exposed for the fraud and harm they have created and perpetuated. The policies, laws, and other measures pushed by radicalized individuals and captured institutions will be dismantled, and reparations will be put in place for all those who were hurt by unchecked radical extremism.

According to one site that identifies an ever-growing number of “gender identities” and associated flags, there are 5,190 at the time of this publication. “Gender identity” has rendered itself meaningless and created chaos, and a focus on “gender identity” is not helping society.

May truth-telling be once again valued because enabling distorted thinking and maladaptive coping mechanisms is not care or love. May the reasons be uncovered as to why a child or an adult might declare a new “identity,” and may the underlying distress be addressed. That is care, and that is love.

What dreams and goals do you have for our young people and all of humanity in the coming year? Please share in the comments. I believe the tide recently began to change because people were fed up with the direction the US was headed when it disregarded the truth and promoted meaningless identity names/labels/flags and gender affirmation “care.” In 2025, we can chip away at these items and make progress in protecting vulnerable children, adults, and families, as well as bring common sense and truth back into our society and policies. May this year be one of substantial progress toward our dreams of living and mentoring the solid values that radical ideology has eroded in the last few years.
