ep. 30 - Affirming Trans children OR their parents Mental illness?

ep. 30 - Affirming Trans children OR their parents Mental illness?

We are holding nothing back in this episode, including some choice language. This is a topic that we all need to be discussing no matter what the agenda riddled public has to say. This is serious, and needs to be dealt with now before it's too late. Protect these children at all costs. God does not make mistakes, he does not misgender children that he knits together in the womb. Parental discretion is advised for this episode. Mom, probably need to listen to this one with headphones on.
