The use of preferred pronouns has become ubiquitous among Gen Zers and beyond in our culture. I was just at my daughter’s student orientation to a very WOKE university, and every single student leader introduced themselves by using their name, their major, and their preferred pronouns. More on that in a future episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD… 

But I’m sure you have noticed this trend and wondered how to approach the subject with your kids, especially your younger ones. It’s crucial to start having conversations about pronouns and gender identity very young as many schools have embraced an agenda to “break the binary” in kindergarten. Yes, you read that right—IN KINDERGARTEN public schools are targeting kids with non-binary indoctrination.

Ryan and Bethany Bomberger, co-founders of the Radiance Foundation, recognize the importance of addressing this issue and have created valuable resources to help parents navigate these conversations. In the Episode 112 of CP/CW, the Bombergers share their insights on the topic and discuss their groundbreaking books, She is She and He is He, which aim to reinforce simple, biological truths about gender.

Check out this excerpt from our conversation where I read a selection from She is She:
 

Moms & Dads, our culture says that speaking truth is “hateful.” We must speak it anyways. We must not let our culture define truth and lies, love and hate. God defines those terms, not our culture and not us. We must love people enough to tell them God’s truth about who they are.

Episode highlights include:

• The importance of addressing the issue early.
• The “Break the Binary” initiative in kindergarten.
• The importance of reinforcing simple biological truths with young children.
• The rise of the “T” in gender ideology creating a contradiction in the LGBTQ+ community.
• The dangers of hormone blockers and cross-sex hormones on young individuals.
• The deceptive nature of the transgender ideology and its impact on society.
• The role of Planned Parenthood in promoting gender confusion.
• How parental rights are under assault.
• Long-term studies on the effects of sex reassignment.
• Finding freedom in embracing one’s biological gender.
• The power of love, truth, and faith in guiding children towards their authentic selves .

It is our responsibility to engage in honest, open conversations with our children about the complex issues they face in today’s world, including the topics of pronouns and gender identity, and we need to do this at a young age. By equipping ourselves with the knowledge and resources necessary to navigate these conversations, we can help our children understand the importance of embracing their biological sex and the freedom that comes with living authentically as the individuals God created them to be.

This conversation will provide you with the tools and preparation you need to engage in meaningful conversations with your kids about gender identity.
