					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>It’s clear that the public is increasingly rejecting the transgender fiction that boys can be girls and girls can be boys.</p>
<p>The medical community itself is undergoing a retrenchment over its rush to embrace transgender treatments for minors. These include cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers and surgeries to cut off healthy breasts and male genitals.</p>
<p>On Feb. 3, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons released new guidelines recommending against irreversible procedures such as mastectomy, phalloplasty, vaginoplasty, hysterectomy or orchiectomy on minors younger than 19.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/02/irreversible-harm-irresponsible-medicine-and-the-fight-to-protect-children/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Some things are wrong regardless of intent or a claimed level of authority. If laws conflict with the ultimate authority — God — they are invalid, as the great British legal scholar Blackstone (and later, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.) observed.</p>
<p>In most situations, parents have the God-given right to direct their children’s upbringing. But there are limits to that authority, such as evidence of child abuse.</p>
<p>Exhibit A is the lawsuit by parents, doctors and lawyers who are trying to get the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/05/lgbtq-movement-working-to-transform-society-in-its-own-image/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
