“They told me I was so brave,” a young man, “Simon,” recalled as he shared his very personal and heartbreaking story in front of the crowd.  Now detransitioned, he is disillusioned and disgusted with the system that pushed him from depression and autism to surgical and chemical body alterations.  “The same people I trusted to give me antibiotics when I had strep told me I was really a girl inside…” and then quickly sent him down the pipeline for transgendering at Boston Children’s Hospital.

JOIN IFA to pray about this issue and others on the Thursday Pray with America’s Leaders webcast TODAY at 12 noon ET.

Mrs. S told her experience of seeing her daughter ushered into the transgender cult by their pastor, who introduced her to the idea of “wrong gender”, and referred her to a pro-transgender group that resulted in her daughter’s suicide after her transition didn’t help her depression.

We have heard too many personal stories of the regular and methodical coercion by health professionals, teachers, counselors and even parents who are not just advocating for but pushing young children and teens into transgendering. But now, transgendering minors is being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission as consumer medical fraud. And why not? As unlikely as it seems that the Federal Trade Commission would be the agency to strike a blow to the head of Goliath, it makes logical sense. Promises of a simple transition process and the option to easily detransition, of little to no side effects after surgery, and that it is the answer to the trauma and depression and awkwardness these young people feel is part of the systematic deceptive practices of the transgender business–and make no mistake, it IS a business.

I was invited to attend a workshop held in Washington, DC by the Federal Trade Commission entitled The Dangers of “Gender Affirming Care” for Minors.

As the FTC states “section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act gives the FTC broad authority to protect consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices.”

“This authority could be implicated if there is evidence that medical professionals or others omitted warnings about the risks or made false or unsupported claims about the benefits and effectiveness of gender-affirming care for minors…”

The goal was to invite a host of people who could testify with evidence and personal experience of the fraudulent and deceptive practices of the transgender machine in America. It was panel after panel featuring parents, nurses, counselors, specialists, plastic surgeons, whistleblowers, pediatricians, lawyers, government officials, journalists and detransitioned young people, all presenting their evidence supporting the purposeful deceptive methods and fraudulent practices of the doctors, counselors, clinics, pharmaceutical companies, teachers, nurses, medical associations, advocacy groups and hospitals who work so hard to transition mass numbers of minors.

In addition to the deception of undisclosed and hidden side effects and permanent damage of these drugs and surgeries, there is more.

Did you know that there is massive fraud going on in the medical diagnosis and diagnosis coding of transitioning kids? In fact, according to the testimony and proof from many whistleblowers and doctors, a medical diagnosis code of E34.9 has become a catch-all for endocrine (hormone) treatments that are non-specific. Knowingly breaking rules and laws, these child transitioners are committing a crime that can be prosecuted with the current laws we already have. Planned Parenthood of Southeast Pennsylvania, for example, has admitted this practice: “In order to meet the needs of most insurance companies and patients, we typically use the code E34.9 (endocrine disorder, unspecified)…We recognize that much of the language around billing for gender affirming care is troublesome; we recognize this is medically necessary care and will work to decrease the barriers to getting folks the care they need…”

Marshall Dahl, MD of WPATH (World Professional Association on Transgender Health, a globalist group leading the standards and efforts in transgendering) is quoted as admitting, “Not only are the medications off-label, the whole field is off-label, right? But that’s all good.”

That’s true, Dr. Dahl, your entire industry is off-label–it is not medicine at all but a system of deception for profit at every level, and the ones who pay are the broken children and families who pay with their bodies and lives. As believers, we also know it is a spiritual issue as well as a medical and cultural issue.

So, how do we get behind the Federal Trade Commission’s brave and bold move to hold child-transers to the same standard of consumer protection as they hold other medical products or applications?

Pray for those who are leading the charge. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson as well as Jonathan Schweppe, Senior Policy Advisor to Chairman Ferguson.
Pray for those speaking up. I wish I could name all of the speakers here so they could be prayed for by name, but here are a few who have long been on the front lines of this issue that need your prayer:  Dr. Michelle Cretella (pictured with me below), Dr. Michael Laidlaw, Dr. Eithan Haim, Alabama Solicitor General Edmund LaCour, Jr.,  journalist Brandon Showalter, and AR Representative Robin Lundstrum. Pray for their protection.
Pray for those who will move this strategy forward. Pray for the lawyers, advisors, and staff who will execute this strategy by collecting data and evidence, and will build the cases for action.
Pray for families who are in the middle of the deception. There are many hurting detransitioned young people, parents who are trying to keep their kids from the transgender cult, and young people who need the right care to turn trauma into healing. Pray for a touch of God’s healing power and open eyes to His love and plan for them. They need set free.
Pray for other agencies also tackling this evil. While at the workshop, the Justice Department’s Chad Mizelle announced that nearly 20 subpoenas had been issued to clinics being investigated for false statements, healthcare fraud, and more. This is also a praise! 
Pray about the spirit of deception and the demonic robbing of these children’s very identity–the image of God in which they were created. There is a spiritual root to this evil we are seeing, and we need to pray about that for every level of this situation–spiritual, legal, cultural, medical, familial, and governmental.

Those who I spoke with, including Dr. Cretella, and Department of Justice Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle, and journalist Brandon Showalter were greatly encouraged to know that there is an army of intercessors praying for them in the work they do. Thank you for praying about this issue and for those on the front lines. IFA has been covering this issue and interceding about it for years.
