New York State is a beautiful state with lots of trees and water. Many people care about others and for others.
Yet, from the November 5th election, Proposition 1 got voted in. Were people not informed? I know the language of the descriptor sounded nice, equal rights, etc.
What those “rights” turned out to be was that transgender men can enter public ladies’ restrooms. Any male can put on a wig now and enter a bathroom where vulnerable girls and women go into a closed area. Certain men have been trying to get into women’s restrooms for years. The permission always got voted down.
In European airports, if men use the same bathrooms as ladies with private stalls, there are completely open entrances and exits. Huge sinks and mirrors line an adjacent wall. Lines of people gather outside the stalls, waiting their turn, and ensuring safety.
Additionally, with Proposition 1 voted in, transgender people can play in women’s sports. After Bible study yesterday, a young mom told me a trans gendering male playing women’s volleyball, spiked the ball so hard it hit a gal, and she is now paralyzed.
The worst part of this new proposition is that children, whose brains are not fully developed to make such complex decisions until age 21, whether to change their sex or not, can go to the school nurse and receive sex-changing hormones without any parental notification. Did voters really know what they were agreeing to? The language of the proposition was “as clear as mud,” as my wonderful mom used to say.
It’s bad enough that New York State allows abortions when the baby is full term. A human child due to be born on Wednesday can be terminated on Tuesday even though many infertile couples are desperate for offspring. They would adopt that baby in a heartbeat! Now, it’s been approved by voters through Proposition 1 that abortions are permittable for all girls and women. Also, without guardians of young people knowing anything about their “choice”.
My hope is that voters did not realize the harm that Proposition 1 can cause families all over the State. If people are overly concerned about transgender individual’s rights and knowingly voted yes, I can only say what I heard Pastor Ron Domina of Rochester, NY say many years ago: “When you give special rights to people, it takes away the rights of others.”
I’ve heard transgender individuals comprise the highest percentage of people choosing to commit suicide. Give us wisdom to protect our children is my cry. What a way to wake up the morning after the elections, thinking of the passage of Proposition 1.
“Dear God, in heaven, none of the above circumstances are pleasing to you. Help us, I pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
When my children were little and I was grumpy, I’d mutter, “I need to read my Bible.”
They began to ask me when I was grouchy or down, “Mom, did you read your Bible today?”
So, I’m going to read my Bible this morning. I just felt I had to write this first.
Parenting is hard enough without schools administering life-changing drugs to innocents without the caretakers knowledge. They wouldn’t even know why their child’s personality and body showed changes. Talk about unsafe! It’s crazy! Women have died from “the day after” abortion pills. We don’t know yet what sex-changing hormones do to people.
My one daughter is homeschooling her children. My other daughter has her children in a Christian school, where they believe God knows what He’s doing when He assigns male and female body parts. They also recognize that teens may go too far on a date and end up getting pregnant. Keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption are options that don’t scar women nearly as much as an abortion does. Those decisions are for the family to make, not the government, in my opinion.
I hope New Yorkers wake up to protect their little ones from misguided authority figures, in a respectful manner. May God give us wisdom and His peace that passes all understanding.
