7 Battles Won Against the Trans Agenda in 2024
Support for transgender issues are declining in America.
In a recent survey by AP VoteCast, more than half of voters – and the vast majority of Trump supporters – said support for transgender rights have gone too far. Other polls indicate a strong majority of Americans supports banning minors from receiving trans treatments, opposes biological males playing in girls sports and using women’s bathrooms, and taxpayer funded trans treatments.
Post a prayer for your state!
Thank you to the Intercessors who faithfully prayed for the truth about transgenderism to come to light. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16 NLT.
Glory to God, we have seen many victories in 2024 in the battle to expose the lies and end the evil of transgenderism. Truth is revealed. For instance:

The 2024 Cass Report Debunks Trans Treatments and Suicide Risk
In April of 2024, Britian’s Dr. Hilary Cass released her 400-page report on gender-questioning children. Her conclusions jolted trans activists, the media, and the medical community. After a four-year investigation, her report reveals that children have been “let down by a lack of research.” Dr. Cass bluntly stated, “the entirety of gender medicine for young people is ‘built on shaky foundations.’”
This included the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital surgeries. Cass recommends instead a holistic approach, which includes screening for autism, mental illness, and childhood trauma, such as sexual abuse. Currently in America, little to no such assessment is conducted on children who claim they are trans.
Because of the Cass Report, Britian has closed its gender care clinic and will no longer allow puberty blockers for new patients.
Plus, the report takes aim at the big lie therapists and doctors tell trusting parents that taking any path other than transitioning will lead to suicide. Parents are told they will “kill” their children if they don’t allow a sex change.
The Cass Report debunks the higher risk of suicide lie in gender-confused kids not allowed to transition. In fact, a recent $9 million NIH 2024 study revealed the risk of suicide actually increases 12 times after gender surgery. A fact not lost on Justice Alito at the recent Supreme Court oral arguments in the Skrmetti case.
While many European countries are halting transgender treatments on minors, The American Psychological Association promotes K to12 transgender treatments, denounces child protection laws, and urges insurance companies to cover these treatments. The American Academy of Pediatrics calls transgender care vital in preventing suicide, while ignoring The Cass Report and other medical studies confirming the dangers of trans treatments.
But more doctors and medical organizations are resisting the trans madness. In June of 2024, the American College of Pediatricians issued a statement urging healthcare professionals to stop transgender treatments to minors. “Evidence-based medical research now demonstrates there is little to no benefit from any or all suggested ‘gender-affirming’ interventions for adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria,” the statement read.
Even some in the mainstream media are stepping back from their full-throated support of transgender treatment. For instance, on December 15th, the Washington Post ran its own editorial entitled, “ Look to science, not law, for real answers on youth gender medicine.” The editorial board admitted that the evidence is thin that “gender affirming care” is working. For more on this read journalist and friend of IFA Brandon Showalter’s article here.
God’s own science and biology are winning. Male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27).

Majority of States Ban Transgender Treatments on Minors
In 2024, four states – Ohio, Wyoming, South Carolina and New Hampshire – passed laws banning transgender treatments for minors, bringing the total number of state bans to twenty-six.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in December regarding the constitutionality of these state bans. Legal experts are predicting the Court will uphold the bans. See What Happened at the Supreme’s Court’s Transgender Arguments.

Detransitioners Boldly Speaking Out and Suing
Perhaps there is no more powerful voice rising in this country exposing the truth of the physical and mental damage of false transitioning to another sex than the voices of detransitioners. These are the gender confused that went through trans treatments and then decided to remain their God-given sex, realizing these treatments had not solved their mental and emotional issues.
Again, science is proving destransitioners correct. A 15-year study out of the Netherlands showed that gender confusion collapses with age and is more associated with poor self esteem and mental health issues. Research shows 98% of children and young adults grow out of any gender confusion.
Detransitioners are speaking out on the trans failures and permanent damage done to their bodies – from healthy breasts removed, castration, permanent infertility to emotional scarring. These brave young people are calling out the medical establishment, especially doctors and therapists… and they’re suing health-care providers.
In a tidal wave of regret, detransitioners’ lawsuits allege a “breach of the standard of care, including failure to perform a mental health evaluation, lack of informed consent and battery.” In other words, they were harmed and lied to.
Planned Parenthood (PP), the country’s leading “women’s health” clinic, is being sued by a number of young women given cross-sex hormones. PP has “treated” 12,000 youths under 17 with these hormones.
Alliance Defending Freedom is suing school districts on behalf of parents for secretly transitioning their children without their knowledge.
As further research proves the truth of biology and that no one can physically change their sex, lawsuits will continue to rise. Facing millions in legal fees and hopefully, punishing monetary damages if they lose, health care providers will stop offering these treatments as they will no longer be profitable.

Female Sports Teams Refusing to Play Against Teams with Trans Athletes
Biological men began appearing in women’s competitive sports in 2019 when a biological male, William “Lia” Thomas, was allowed to compete on the University of Pennsylvania’s women swim team, sharing their showers and locker rooms. He won the NCAA Women’s swimming championship in 2022. According to a UN report, transgender athletes have stolen nearly 900 medals in 29 sports from actual women.
Then, real girls and women began getting seriously hurt by transgender rivals. High schooler Payton McNabb was hit in the face by a spiked volleyball from a trans competitor, knocking her unconscious with a traumatic brain injury, brain bleed, loss of peripheral vision, and partial paralysis.
Other reports of injuries began to emerge. A high schooler’s teeth were knocked out when she was slammed with a field hockey ball in the face by a trans athlete. A six-foot trans basketball player threw three girls to the floor wrestling the ball out of their hands. The coach forfeited the game to protect the girl players, choosing athlete safety over victory. These two teams now refuse to play against any teams with trans athletes.
Praise God, this trend is growing. A girls’ soccer team in New Hampshire refused to play against a team with a transgender goalkeeper. A Vermont Christian basketball team refuses to play against a transgender athlete. Five women’s college teams refuse to play San Jose State University with their trans player. Five West Virginia middle school girls refused to compete in a track meet against a trans rival.
This past year the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) voted to ban trans women from competing in college sports programs, as well as the British Lawn Tennis Association bans trans women from female tournaments.
Then in a stunning reversal on December 22, the Biden Administration’s Department of Education dropped its Title IX rule change proposal to outlaw states from banning “participation in single sex sports by gender identity.”

Retail stores pulling back on LGBTQ merchandise
Shoppers during June’s “pride” month have often been subjected to an outpouring of rainbow and trans-themed merchandise. But in 2024, big retailers such as Target cut in half the number of stores displaying LGBTQ products. Target also removed trans merchandise from its pride displays. Many of their 2,000 stores moved their Pride displays to the back of the stores. Target lost billions in market value in 2023 as shoppers boycotted Target in protest.
Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, announced in November they were reducing its LGBTQ merchandise online and getting rid of much of their DEI initiatives.
Conservative activist and producer of the documentary, “The War on Children”, Robby Starbuck, says of Walmart’s decision, “this will send shockwaves.” Elon Musk, whose son claims to be a trans girl, said “The tide has turned,” after Walmart’s decision.
It’s not just retailers refusing to bend the knee to LGBTQ activists. Toyota, Tractor Supply, John Deere, Stanley, Black & Decker stopped their sponsorship of Pride festivals.

Hollywood Drops Trans Characters
Trans characters are vanishing from the silver screen. In 2023, 12 movies were considered “trans-inclusive.” In 2024, only two were. Activists attribute this to rising transphobia. But perhaps mainstream Hollywood realizes that folks don’t want to see “woke” movies.
Disney, which used to be a safe haven for children’s programming, decided to cancel a transgender storyline in its new animated streaming series, “Win or Lose”, citing a parents wish to “discuss certain subjects with their children on their timeline.” Or maybe it’s the billion-plus dollars they have lost in going woke.

Election of Donald Trump
Transgender ideology was perhaps the stealth issue in the 2024 presidential election. Trump won back many women voters on these issues.
During the campaign, Donald Trump promised to get the “transgender insanity out of schools and keep men out of women’s sports.” These were issues that resonated with most Americans.
At TurningPoint’s AmericaFest conference on December 22, Trump revealed the executive orders he would immediately sign to undo the radical left-wing policies of the Biden administration.
“With a stroke of my pen, on day one, we are going to stop the transgender lunacy, and I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools, and we will keep men out of women’s sports,” he declared.
He added, “Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.”
As president, Trump has promised to revoke Biden’s “cruel policies on so-called ‘gender-affirming care, cease all programs promoting gender transitioning, cut off Medicare and Medicaid funds to any hospital or healthcare provider participating in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth.”
Robert F. Kenndy, Jr., Trump’s pick to head Health and Human Services, has stated, “I don’t think children can genuinely consent to repurposed castration drugs (puberty blockers) and surgical mutilation, which have permanent, irreversible effect.”
Trump’s pick of Harmeet Dhillon to lead the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division will be responsible for untangling gender identity from Title IX and ending trans unfairness in female sports. She is also a leading advocate for ending trans treatments for minors, along with protecting female sports. (Dhillon is the lawyer on behalf of de-transitioner Chloe Cole who is suing Kaiser Permanente.)
Trump’s education plans include forbidding classroom lessons on gender ideology. He promises to cut funding to schools who refuse. “I will cut money to any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children.”
We’re also seeing school districts paying hefty damages to teachers who were fired for refusing to use the preferred pronouns of students identifying as the opposite sex.
It’s very promising that 2025 may see the tide of acceptance truly turn away from the evil of transgenderism towards the righteous truth of God taking hold in the hearts of people on this issue.
We praise God for the transgender battles already won in 2024. We thank God that the veil of lies is being lifted from the culture. We ask that His mighty work continues in 2025 to rid the world of this evil. Guide us in our prayers, O Lord.

I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
I praise the Lord that He has not given up on America and truth is beginning to prevail.
Praise God! Praise God! Father, we pray for the children and young men and women who have been permanently damaged from this scheme of the enemy. Pour out Your Spirit on them, and reveal Your great love for them. Give them hope for a blessed and happy life in You. Heal and restore their bodies. All things are possible with You.
Praise God for what he is doing. Thank you for this report. May our country continue in repentance and revival that God may go forth!
Thank you for this encouraging report – truth is becoming known and exposing the lies upon which the trans ideology is built. Lies lead to death. Truth leads to life. “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” And the truth is – “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27) Praying God’s truth prevails and sets us all free from the tyranny of trans agenda lies. post – “living a lie” @ http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
YHVH, thank You for each and every victory in the battle against gender denying abuse. Thank You that the voice of reason and sanity is being heard in greater and greater measure. Bless each person who has spoken out; who has prayed faithfully; who has worked for legislation to establish true gender affirmation as male/female; who has researched to ascertain truth; who has detransitioned and become “a case in point”; who as lawyers were willing to take on unpopular cases; who as coaches and players took a stand and suffered resulting forfeiture. You see each one and have taken note.
I applaud and give thanks to all who have had a hand in waging the battle!!
Praise God. Thank you for these articles that inform and encourage us to pray against this. And to let us know our prayers are being answered
