Saturday PITT Review - November 4 to 7, 2024
November 8, 2024
Welcome to the PITT weekly roundup where you find a list of the week’s postings along with links to some of our favorite books, videos, social media, and podcasts. Please continue the fight against the harms of gender ideology by sharing.
Access to all PITT content is free. Our objective is to inform the public of the devastating impact of gender ideology on families through our personal experiences. And it’s working - support for transitioning of children and distressed young adults is crumbling due to evidence-based findings.
Quote of the Week from Living in the Twilight Zone: “Their daughter, seemingly out of the blue, announced a trans identity at age 13. They sought medical advice. Doctors promised a serious assessment of their daughter’s distress. Within a few months, those same doctors recommended puberty blockers. When the parents tried to put the brakes on this life-altering, anti-science treatment plan, the schools got involved, the justice system got involved and the parents ultimately lost custody of their daughter.”

The election is over, but the work of changing policy and helping people understand the harms of gender ideology goes on. Let's keep working and reach out to others who don't understand what happened on election day to bring awareness (with humility). Gloating or laughing at those who are hurting won't help them see what is really happening because of gender ideology and medicalization. Everyone can help move our country forward in a positive way. Be attractive to follow you as you lead the way in your own way.
Dear fellow parents - Could someone start a national petition to support the call for birth sex/gender to be recognized as only gender or sex type? And ask Congress to enact a law on the subject?
