Joe Biden’s transgender agenda, specifically his advocacy for chemicals and body-mutilating surgeries for children, has been put in the bull’s-eye by a major church organization in the United States.

A report in the Christian Post explains that a commission for the Presbyterian Church in America has dispatched a letter to Biden – and other government officials, too – asking that they discontinue promoting sex-change surgeries and other injurious treatments on minors who have gender dysphoria issues.

A PCA official told the Post that children must be protected from the “harms that come from rejecting biological sex. God created humanity male and female; persons who try to change their biological sex are attempting the impossible.”

The church group is the biggest organization of confessional Presbyterian and Reformed churches in North America and includes more than 375000 members in 1,500 congregations.

The church last year set up a commission to draft a petition urging Washington to “renounce the sin” of transgenderism for children and the letter is a result of that campaign.

“Children, above all, must be protected and given time to progress through natural puberty. The PCA’s letter affirms the Bible’s care for children as a reflection of God’s love and asks leaders of the United States government to protect the lives and welfare of the most vulnerable among us,” the PCA official told The Christian Post.

The commission requested of Biden, congressional leaders and others for them to “protect the lives and welfare of minor children from the physical, mental, and emotional harms associated with medical and surgical interventions for the purpose of gender reassignment.”

The letter notes that changing a person’s gender is impossible. Actually, being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.

“Persons who try to change their biological sex through the process of transitioning —including psychotherapy, lifelong hormonal treatments, and extensive nongenital and genital surgeries — are attempting the impossible,” the church warns.

The side effects, the letter said, are not good: “sterility, infertility, cancer, cardiovascular disease, strokes, blood clots, pituitary apoplexy, pseudotumor cerebri, and diminished bone density.”

It continued, “We believe current gender reassignment interventions for children are not in keeping with the high value of human bodies — a value determined not by circumstance, ability, or human judgment, but by the determination of our wise Creator who constituted each person a body-soul unity.”

The letter said, “Providing medical intervention for the purposes of transitioning does irreversible harm and injustice to all people, but especially minor children. For these reasons, we condemn the practice of surgical and medical gender reassignment, especially of minors, and we humbly petition you to protect the lives and welfare of minor children.”

The Post report noted, “Petitioning the government is an unusual act in the denomination that adheres to the 17th-century Westminster Confession of Faith, which advises churches ‘not to intermeddle with civil affairs which concern the commonwealth, unless by way of humble petition in cases extraordinary.'”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: For America’s ruling elites, nothing is more precious, wonderful and life-giving to their great cause than the Jan. 6, 2021 “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol. It’s irrelevant that the events didn’t come remotely close to constituting an actual “insurrection,” or that both police and over 200 undercover FBI assets provoked the riot – which Tucker Carlson calls a “set-up.” Yet Vice President Kamala Harris still insists the minor riot was just as horrific as the 9/11 terror attacks and Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

WHY are the elites doing this?

It’s not just because convicting, imprisoning, torturing and destroying the lives of hundreds of Trump supporters is meant to terrify and intimidate millions of Americans into submission. And it’s not just because activist judges and bureaucrats in over 30 states are absurdly trying to keep Trump off their state’s election ballots by citing the 14th Amendment’s prohibition against anyone who “engaged in insurrection” from holding elective office.

It’s because the elites’ destruction of America is so rapid, horrendous and obvious that they feel compelled to turn their opponents into monsters – or lose power at the next election. But that doesn’t mean just calling conservatives and Christians “racists,” “white supremacists,” “radical extremists” and “domestic terrorists” as they do continually. They know much more is needed.

Question: What if, far from being horrified by a half-baked riot they absurdly claim is worse than any domestic disturbance since the Civil War, the left actually LOVES the idea of violence on the right – the worse the better – since it perfectly serves their agenda? Increasingly, all the evidence strongly suggests today’s power-mad leftist elites not only intend to intimidate and discredit their political opponents by calling them terrorists, they mean to provoke actual violence.

The secret strategies and shocking tactics of today’s ascendant far-left elites are exposed as perhaps never before in the January issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, headlined “INCITING VIOLENCE: DEMS’ SECRET STRATEGY FOR STAYING IN POWER.”
