EXTENDED TRAILER: The transgender craze is growing and metastasizing in America and worldwide. Confusion is abounding. And while Western cultures celebrate and elevate gender chaos, the societal and cultural costs are quickly mounting. That’s why enterprising journalist Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post is offering a no-holds-barred exploration of the topic in “Generation Indoctrination,” a new documentary-style podcast series aimed at exploring the roots and impact of the transgender debate.Showalter, an intrepid reporter at the forefront of covering the movement, believes “Generation Indoctrination” will inform listeners about its origins while also helping reframe peoples’ understanding of why our cultural devolution matters and what’s truly at stake.“From a loss of parental rights to botched and destroyed young lives, the dire impact of the transgender movement leaves little room for apathy,” Showalter said. “We’ll explore the chaotic state of our education system, the overtly sinister actions and craven cowardice of our institutions, the history of how we arrived where we are, and much more.” In this five-part investigative podcast series, Showalter masterfully takes listeners through heartbreaking stories, expert opinions, and bewildered academics’ experiences as these individuals push back on the narratives being perpetuated and targeted at young minds.“We believe this is an important topic to explore for such a time as this,” Dr. Chris Chou, CEO of The Christian Post, said of the series. “With lives and truth hanging in the balance, ‘Generation Indoctrination’ offers a restorative dose of reality desperately needed in our post-truth era.”As many Christians watch in horror, wondering how culture devolved so quickly and what’s poised to happen next, “Generation Indoctrination” gives parents and other key stakeholders the knowledge needed to understand the problem — and the path forward. Showalter is available for interviews to discuss “Generation Indoctrination” and the transgender debate more broadly.“Generation Indoctrination” premieres Friday, October 14 on Edifi and on your favorite podcast platforms.More from The Christian PostThe Christian Post WebsiteThe Christian Post Daily PodcastCP The Inside Story PodcastSubscribe to this PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsGet the Edifi AppDownload for iPhoneDownload for Android

And while Western cultures celebrate and elevate it, the costs are quickly mounting. From a loss of parental rights to botched and destroyed young lives, this movement leaves little room for apathy. Brandon Showalter, a journalist with The Christian Post, has spent years covering the developments of the so-called gender identity movement. In this five-part investigative podcast series, he'll take you through parents’ heartbreaking stories. He'll also explore the chaotic state of our education system in the United States and the overtly sinister actions and craven cowardice of our institutions. "Generation Indoctrination" will look at the history of how we arrived where we are, and so much more. In this inaugural episode, we’ll specifically tackle how some of our schools have become indoctrination centers for gender ideology — and the dire impact this is having on families. We’ll cover the harrowing journey of January Littlejohn, a mother from Florida whose daughter's own experience with gender confusion and her school's purported reactions have sparked her to action.We'll also hear from attorneys, school board members, parent advocates, and other experts who have deep concerns over where this movement is taking us.

Those who dare to criticize or challenge it are often silenced or shamed in order to make them fall in line.Dr. Quentin Van Meter, an endocrinologist and president of the American College of Pediatricians, and Dr. Andre Van Mol, a family physician, are just two of the voices boldly standing up to take listeners inside this complex cabal.  “The first weapon that they use is, ‘If you don't believe what we say, then you are bigoted and hateful.’ That's kind of the starting point,” Van Meter explains. “And it's a sort of an unspoken truth because if anybody does really come outside the box and say, “Whoa, wait a minute. This isn't right,’ they are immediately attacked in any way possible.”But this pressure in the medical field isn’t limited to the physicians at the helm of influential entities governing professional protocols and their public policy positions. It is also felt in the doctor’s offices and involves the coercion of parents — moms and dads who are many times already reeling in confusion over the internal turmoil their children are experiencing. The affirmation-only approach seizes upon this frenzy to push parents toward affirming and even transitioning their children. While a handful of European nations are now moving away from this pathway, the United States and Canada appear to be proceeding full-spead ahead, with youth being propelled toward puberty-blocking drugs and life-altering surgeries.The consequences are profound. Lives hang in the balance. Listen to episode two of “Generation Indoctrination” to explore the dangers surrounding fast-tracking kids into medicalization in this transgender mania.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comOne of the most remarkable facets of the transgender debate is the speed and ferocity with which it was foisted upon the American public. After the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case in 2015, few people might have assumed we would be where we are now on the trans front – and in just a few, short years. So, how did we get here? What are the roots of the trans movement that carried us to this precarious place? In the third installment of the “Generation Indoctrination Podcast,” host Brandon Showalter explores the disturbing history, the roots of chaos, and why it's essential to understand the past for proper framing of the present.

Robin Lundstrum frames the claim from some that children won’t face long-term harm from so-called gender transition measures. She’s just one of the voices who appear in the fourth installment of “Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle.”At the baseline of the transgender movement is an affirmation-only model that leaves no room for questions, inquiry, rational discussion, or debate. As we’ve explored thus far, the implications of this sinister approach have impacted our schools, medical institutions, and families. In the fourth installment of “Generation Indoctrination,” we explore the perils of affirmation-only approaches on the legal and legislative fronts. Often driven by emotion, these policies create familial crises and threaten parental rights.And it’s the “feelings” part of the equation that begs to be broken down. In this episode, a therapist, who chose to speak under a pseudonym for fear of retribution, explained her belief that this handling is both tragic and dangerous, especially for kids.“It's solely based upon our feelings and I don't know about you, but I know my own feelings change from time to time,” she said. “And this is particularly true of young girls in middle school. Young people's feelings are all over the place.”This dynamic, mixed with problematic assumptions, is creating a crisis — one based on the lie that happiness and feelings are at the core of truth. “Happiness is always fleeting, so this is severely flawed and thinking that I can be in a constant state of happiness, but this is the construct,” Carla said, noting that another assumption is that a person is his or her feelings and such feelings much be expressed outwardly. Showalter takes all of these elements and begins to explore how these emotions and the associated affirmation craze become codified into law. But while the government descends into madness, states and communities across the country are fighting back. Parents like Florida mom January Littlejohn often find themselves locked in legal battles over their children’s identity crises, which is why the legislative and legal elements of the transgender battle must be fully comprehended. “This is creating a huge wedge between parents and their children. It certainly did that in my family,” she said. “It was a year and a half of a nightmare I do not wish upon anybody.”Littlejohn’s attorney, Vernadette Broyles, also delivered a stirring and convicting call to action for anyone deeply concerned over these matters. “We need to communicate to the school officials, ‘[Our children] belong to us. We want them more, and you cannot have them,” she said.Listen to these powerful stories. Subscribe on your favorite platforms here.

She ended up taking hormones and having surgery to change every aspect of her body — including the removal of her reproductive system — to match her internal feelings.“There was all the regret too, of just the things that I've done to my body — the fact that I didn't have breasts anymore,” she explained. “And I ended up getting married and my husband didn't know if I'd ever have breasts again. I was able to get breast surgery about three months ago and get implants, but it's not the same.”Smalts, who became a Christian while still living as a transgender man and eventually de-transitioned, now ponders why none of the doctors caring for her mentioned the damaging nature of the medical procedures she was engaging in.“It's so maddening when I look back … where are the doctors that were willing to say, ‘Hey, wait a second, this is really not good for your body?’” Smalts said. Listen to Smalts and others discuss the perils of the transgender movement in the final chapter of "Generation Indoctrination."

That's host Brandon Showalter's assessment of the transgender movement's impact on various facets of contemporary culture.In today's bonus episode of "Generation Indoctrination," Showalter shifts gears to confront a shocking arena many know little about — the presence of biological men in women's prisons. This disturbing dynamic has left female inmates terrified, vulnerable, and, according to Showalter's guests, at risk of assault.>>>> WARNING: Adult themes and discussions are present in this episode. This is not appropriate for children. <<<<Join Showalter as he navigates the issues, explores the gritty details, and speaks with former inmates and advocates sounding the alarm on the unthinkable. "When I first learned that they were housing men in women's prions based on their own self-identification about their gender feelings it was naturally disbelief and horror," Amanda Stulman, USA director of Keep Prisons Single Sex, proclaims on the podcast. "And also: a realization that this issue had not been brought to the public for a public discussion and debate."Amie Ichikawa, executive director of Woman II Woman, an organization for incarcerated women, describes the "feeling of utter vulnerability" inside female prisons when biological men make their way into the general population. Amie explains how the ideology has been forced upon incarcerated females in a religious-like manner, all while leaving women in a dire situation.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comWelcome to the season 3 premiere of "Generation Indoctrination," hosted by The Christian Post's Brandon Showalter: This past year was unlike any before it in terms of visible opposition to transgender policies, particularly the experimental medicalization of gender confusion via puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones, and the performing of irreversible surgeries on gender-confused minors.  Across the U.S. South and Midwest, 17 state legislatures implemented bans on gender medicalization on youth and, as of this episode's publication, a bill that would do so is sitting on the desk of the governor of Ohio, which will become the 18th state this year if the legislation if enacted into law. The state-level legislative push is perhaps the greatest indicator that public awareness has reached a point where the issue cannot be ignored nationally and it is likely to be discussed in the context of the 2024 presidential election. In this inaugural episode of the third season of "Generation Indoctrination," The Christian Post engages lawmakers who have been instrumental at the state level to protect children from irreversible medical harm in addition to public policy experts and leaders working to address these and related issues on the national scene, including a left-wing radical feminist activist and author who has been resisting gender identity ideology and policies for nearly a decade.

The largest and most populous state in the union is also home to Hollywood and Silicon Valley and thus shapes the culture in important ways. Meanwhile, the state legislature is one of the most left-wing in the country and has rubber-stamped many public policies that have advanced “gender identity” in every sphere of society.In episode two of the latest season of "Generation Indoctrination," The Christian Post examines the Golden State’s influence on the nation, and why resistance is necessary even in areas where the proverbial deck appears to be stacked against opponents of gender ideology. A crucial player in the California legislature is state senator Scott Weiner, a homosexual man who represents portions of San Francisco and has sponsored numerous bills advancing transgender ideology, including the bill that enabled men to transfer into women’s prisons. We scrutinize his influence and what motivates him. As states across the U.S. South and Midwest pass legislation banning gender medicalization of children – puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and trans surgery on minors – these California advocates insist that the battle against gender ideology must be fought and won in California, not only because those children matter, but because the state laws now enable kids from other states to come to California and be harmed.Among those resisting the onslaught are two lifelong yet now-disaffected Democrat women – a parent activist whose daughter became caught up in the trans craze and a longtime lesbian activist from San Francisco. Also featured in this installment are a Christian conservative activist with the California Family Council, a tenacious endocrinologist trying to get answers via FOIA requests from the federal government about controversial medical research on gender-confused children, and a formerly incarcerated woman who is now advocating for females who are forced to share prison quarters with trans-identifying males because of the California legislature’s moves in recent years. Tune in to Generation Indoctrination on all podcast platforms.

This is especially the case in the medical arena as young people are now enticed down a path of experimental medicalization entailing risky procedures such as the use of cross-sex hormones and body-altering surgeries to appear more as the opposite sex. With this medicalization, parental rights are eroding as the age of consent laws for these medical practices have been lowered.  In the third installment of season 3 of this podcast series, we’ll speak to a mom who managed to pull her daughter back from the proverbial ledge after her young daughter was swept up into the gender identity social contagion, another mom in agony whose daughter has gone as far as possible medically, and a dad who dared to push back against the medical establishment when his cancer-stricken son became convinced he was the other sex. This father was among those profiled in “Dead Name” an indie documentary film about the struggles parents face; the movie also features “Generation Indoctrination" host Brandon Showalter. We also speak to Andrew Bailey, the current Attorney General of Missouri who, despite not having any of his kids mired in the trans craze is himself a concerned parent and has been fighting against the gender clinics in the Show Me State after a whistleblower came forward with sworn testimony about how children were being hurt and parents undermined at a transgender clinic in St. Louis.  The grief and suffering of these moms and dads has been neglected in the mainstream press — but their voices must be heard.

The group of people called “detransitioners” have taken hormones and undergone surgeries to alter their bodies to appear more like the opposite sex have learned in the hardest way possible that no one has ever been or ever will be “born in the wrong body.”  The regret such detrans individuals face is so profound that it has motivated some of them to testify in state legislatures in support of bills and policies prohibiting such practices of administering puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries on minors. They are also contributing to documentary films and books. Yet others have even filed medical negligence lawsuits against the doctors and medical institutions that harmed them and their cases are presently working through the courts. Advocacy on behalf of such people is emerging on several fronts as their stories are being heard more widely, in no small part due to their public testimonies before government committees and in legislative hearings.  In this fourth episode of season 3, we engage a young detrans man and a young detrans woman who are among this group who are speaking out about how they were harmed, an attorney who has filed lawsuits on behalf of a few detrans women, and an author and filmmaker who is an expert in bioethics. The author and filmmaker has written an upcoming book featuring personal stories of both male and female detransitioners, the history behind the push to make transgenderism mainstream, and how gender ideology has eroded biomedical ethics. She is also about to release her third film on the subject.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comThe Christian Post has always been unequivocal about where we, as a publication, stand on the issue of gender ideology. We believe that it is not only fundamentally at odds with historic, biblically orthodox Christian faith, but that it has also unleashed some of the worst medical atrocities and human rights violations the world has ever seen. We believe that so-called “gender-affirming care” is horrific, unmitigated child abuse, and that lying about the material reality of sex endangers vulnerable populations such as incarcerated women, who are now forced to share prison quarters with violent males as a result of such trans-friendly policies. It is, as CP executive editor Richard Land has said numerous times, “the epitome of self-idolatry, the ultimate attempt to become one’s own god.”And yet how should the church respond to those who are struggling? How do we address the nefarious, ideological push that is in nearly all of our cultural institutions, while also offering compassionate pastoral care for those suffering from gender confusion? How should churches approach these matters with uncompromised boldness, biblical wisdom, and the grace of Jesus Christ? Weighing in on these questions in the final episode of "Generation Indoctrination" are two theologians, a Christian counselor, and a man who works to equip the rising generation in a biblical worldview and is also the co-author (with “Generation Indoctrination” host Brandon Showalter) of the e-book “Exposing the Gender Lie: How To Protect Children and Teens from the Transgender Industry’s False Ideology.”We will grapple with these issues and much more in the finale of season 3 of "Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle."

This is especially the case in the “trans sanctuary state” of California.Ted Hudacko knows this struggle all too well. He hasn’t seen one of his sons in years after California Superior Court judge Joni Hiramoto removed this San Francisco Bay Area dad’s custody after he expressed hesitancy that his son was transgender. In violation of the court order, clinicians and activists at the University of California - San Francisco Child and Adolescent Gender Center facilitated the surgical implantation of a hormone-blocking device in his son’s arm. They also started him on a course of cross-sex hormones. As a result of these medical interventions, Hudacko’s son is now almost certainly sterile. Hudacko’s case is a remarkable encapsulation of several dimensions of the gender ideology issues we have explored in the third season of “Generation Indoctrination.” In this bonus episode, we speak with him about his ongoing efforts to fight back against the system along with his attorney, Tracy Henderson. Hudacko is currently taking action in family court with contempt complaints against those who harmed his son and also a federal lawsuit. We will also briefly hear from Dr. Sallie Baxendale, a neuropsychologist from England who has been raising the alarm about the impact of puberty-blocking drugs on brain development.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.com2024 is being called the biggest election year in history — and with good reason. Seven of the world’s ten most populous countries, including the United States, will hold national elections this year. As more people than ever before are expected to vote in 2024, what exactly does it mean to be a “Christian voter” in America today? Is it merely a Christian who votes? Or something far more nuanced?That’s the question at the forefront of The Christian Post podcast series and upcoming live event, "Politics In the Pews." Through conversations with a variety of Evangelical voices from across the political spectrum, "Politics In the Pews" looks at the history and influence of Evangelicalism in American politics, where churches and Christian leaders stand on the presumed Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump, and how “Christian nationalism” could sway independent voters.Topics will cover the rise and fall of the “Religious Right,” the “Trump factor,” Christian nationalism, the pros and cons of church ballot collection efforts, how Hispanic Evangelical leaders are engaging their congregations, and a panel of leading Christian voices on the state of religious liberty in America in 2024.On today's preview, "Politics In the Pews" host Ian Giatti joins Billy Hallowell to preview the podcast series, which premieres July 12.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comFor decades, the roots of gender ideology were seemingly confined to esoteric areas of study in niche academic departments. Yet this radical ideology soon stealthily began taking the world by storm until it reached a social eruption over the past decade -- one that has destroyed families and threatened the very fabric of society. Today, the devastating havoc that transgenderism has wrought on countless children, teenagers, young adults, families, and on society at large is no longer hidden, and a reckoning is underway both at home and abroad.But what can be done? What can average citizens who see what’s at stake do to address this effectively? In this fourth season of "Generation Indoctrination" — which premieres September 20 — we’re focusing on those action-oriented people who decided that, although they never imagined this being a part of their lives, they must resist this destructive ideology. We’ll speak to those working in public policy, in red, blue, and purple states. We’ll engage those advocating for detransitioners, the victims of the mass medical experiment known as “gender-affirming care.” And we’ll talk to those who are helping shattered families and devastated moms and dads, some of whom are still forced to resist from the shadows and whose lives have been torn apart. These parents will tell you they are only now starting to be heard. And while there has been growing resistance and an emergence of public advocacy on these issues, it’s also worth revisiting the history. As it turns out, there were voices on the scene who foresaw and predicted the rise of this ideology before anyone was paying attention. And we’ll also engage what lies ahead. Are there other ideological developments presently brewing in the shadows that are related to the current morass? Is transgenderism the on-ramp to something even more bizarre and nefarious? Some say yes. We’ll explore all these themes and more in this season of "Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle."

As their heartbreaking stories become more widely known and as the public continues to awaken to the enormous medical scandal that is so-called 'gender-affirming care' this inaugural episode of season 4 of this podcast series explores how action-oriented people of all professional stripes in red, blue, and purple states are taking action to help this emerging group of people. We'll speak to lawmakers in Oregon, Idaho, and a public policy advocate in Arizona. We'll speak to a therapist from California who now lives on the East Coast; a mom-turned-activist from Florida who is advocating with the new group Do No Harm; and a man who has taken to the streets of New Hampshire wearing sandwich boards to force the issue with the general public, bypassing the media to speak with anyone who will listen.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comAn under-discussed aspect of the cultural battle over gender ideology is its profound impact on families. Ask any parent who has watched in terror as their son or daughter barreled down the path of experimental drugs and surgery in search of a physical impossibility – becoming the opposite sex – and they’ll tell you that transgender ideology did not just damage their children’s health and bodies, but that it also ruptured relationships and obliterated family ties. Who is helping these distraught moms and dads? And what can be done to assist parents as they navigate this struggle both before and after gender ideology takes root in their kids’ minds?In this episode, we speak with the mom of trans-identified child who went public with this struggle and whose story was profiled in a poignant documentary film called “Dead Name,” an attorney who won a significant parental rights case in Wisconsin against a school system that was socially transitioning children behind their parents’ backs, and a licensed clinical social worker helping detransitioners and their families pick up the pieces of their broken relationships.Plus, we’ll talk with the mom of a formerly trans-identified daughter who conducted an astonishing deep-dive investigation of Kaiser in California, discovering just how easy it was to identify as something other than one’s sex and then acquire cross-sex hormones and surgery.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comWhat is it like to watch your children become mired in gender confusion while you're left with no options to help them? What is it like when all of the institutions you thought you could rely on are ideologically captured — and, if you disagree, they’ll turn against you? And what about when even members of your own family turn against you and castigate you for asking questions about your child’s claim that they are “transgender?" The parents we speak to in this episode have faced all of this, and even after years of struggle are forced to resist gender ideology strategically and largely in secret. They do activism for state legislation and take phone calls from advocates from their closets. They are part of online support groups for other parents. They avoid these touchy but extremely painful topics at family gatherings even though it’s always simmering beneath the surface. These moms and dads are often estranged from their trans-identifying kids. Their intense anguish is protracted and otherworldly. Worst of all, it’s still mostly hidden from the general public. We’re using fake names for the five parents (four moms and one dad) in today's episode and will only refer to the general region of the country where they live in order to protect their identities given the repercussions they continue to deal with as they fight for their children from the shadows.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comA recurring observation many have made about the cultural saturation in gender ideology is how quickly it has happened, seemingly out of nowhere. Indeed, how did this ideology take over so many major institutions so suddenly? The truth, however, is that it has been brewing for decades but few discerned what was developing.In this episode, we speak with some prescient voices on the scene — three women who foresaw the wave of confusion and destructive chaos. Gender ideology depends upon severe censorship, massive money to fund propaganda through media, and the deliberate erasure of biologically rooted natural boundaries – all of which carry significant medical implications. How were these three prophetic ladies – an investigative journalist, an intelligence analyst and author, and a child and adolescent psychiatrist – able to warn the public about the coming dangers before most people had the slightest clue about the morass that is transgenderism?

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comThe mere mention of the word “transhumanism” evokes for many people a mental picture of a tin-foil hat. Are there people who truly think that we can become something other than homo sapiens? Can we somehow self-identify outside of our species by way of technology? And, even if we could, should we? Surely, this is utterly preposterous, you might say. This delusion will never become mainstream. But isn’t that exactly what many said about transgenderism around a decade ago? Major figures — some of whom have billions of dollars at their disposal — who are behind pushing transgenderism around the world are also driving many forms of body dissociation for profit, reengineering humanity itself in pursuit of such things as living forever in cyberspace. In a way, gender ideology, the push to obliterate the material reality of sex, is itself a form of transhumanism.  In this season finale, we speak with three individuals who argue that we should not overlook the unmistakable connection between the vain attempt to transcend our sex (transgenderism) and transcend our personhood (transhumanism) – and warn that one is the onramp to the other. What might the future hold if the emerging cult of transhumanism is left unchecked? Listen in to find out more.Warning: Adult language and subject matter. Please be advised.

Secure Your Exclusive Access at: insider.christianpost.comThe grip that gender ideology has on the law is one of the most consequential ways in which it governs our affairs. Indeed, when obvious lies about the basic facts of our humanity rule the day, chaos ensues. And in the family courts, that ruthlessness is accentuated in light of the way it disrupts and severs our most intimate relationships. In the bonus episode for season 3 of this podcast series, we profiled Ted Hudacko, a dad whose ordeal is a case study as to how gender ideology takes over one’s life. To briefly recap, in violation of a court order which required that he be notified and give consent to any gender identity-related surgery, doctors at a major gender center at the University of California - San Franscisco carried out so-called "gender-affirming care," performing a surgical procedure that inserted a hormone-blocking device in his then-minor son’s arm. They also started his son on a course of cross-sex hormones. In light of this violation, Hudacko took legal action both in a family court complaint and in a federal lawsuit. When gender ideology pervades the law, the normal rules do not seem to apply., It appears that, as Hudacko’s case has illustrated, they seem to make it up as they go along. And when there is a messy divorce and questions of custody? These bitter, protracted fights never seem to end. In the bonus episode of season 4, we are revisiting this legal jungle, full of all kinds of twists and turns.
