What is going on? At every turn, our country is pushing gender confusion. God, help us.

From The Center Square. The U.S. State Department’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Strategic Plan has sparked controversy for including taxpayer-funded “gender transition care” for employees and their children.

The policy comes as some states have begun banning those very same transgender surgeries and drugs from use on children, labeling them “child abuse.”

“The State Department might not just be paying for their employee’s kids to receive these damaging surgeries, they’re penalizing foreign service officers who disagree and pressuring countries to perform these procedures on children,” U.S. Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., told the Free Beacon.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order in June specifically aimed at combating these state efforts.

“During my confirmation hearing, I said that I would judge the success of my tenure, in part, by how well I lead the Department to be more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after the plan was released. …

The plan commits that the State Department will “assess resources for gender dysphoria and gender transition care at posts for employees and their dependents.” …

The plan says the agency will “evaluate and ensure inclusion and safety policies and procedures for LGBTQI+ children at overseas schools in collaboration with the educational accreditation agencies and provide mechanisms for social-emotional support.”

Republicans around the country have begun pushing policies to ban transgender surgeries and drugs from use on children.

Arkansas became the first state last year to ban transgender procedures and drugs for minors.
