Protect our children from global LGBTQI push
An urgent call is being made for parents to become more discerning about those who are allowed to interact with their children as the LGBTQI doctrine is being pushed across all sectors of the nation, even by usually trusted individuals.
The call is being made by a parent who recently discovered that even trusted professionals are being drafted in the global push to corrupt the minds of children with LGBTQI ideologies.
“My advice to parents generally now is that based on where the world is going about this LGBTQ thing, you need to speak to your child from a religious background. Each day you should encourage them; each day you [should] try to pour into them,” said the mother of two.
Her message follows a recent experience where her child, who is a student at a popular high school, was questioned about her relationship status and whether she prefers “boy or girl” by a doctor at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), whom she was seeing for the first time.
The mother said her daughter has a heart condition and has been doing heart checks at the hospital since she was a baby. During her most recent session, the mother was asked by a young female doctor to vacate the room so she could have a private discussion with the adolescent. The mother said she was puzzled by the request but complied, thinking they wanted to discuss her daughter’s weight loss.
The mother told Freedom Come Rain that her anxiety increased as the private session went on for a while with the doctor. After her daughter was finally allowed to go, the child disclosed the nature of the discussion while on their way to make an appointment for her next clinic visit.
“First, she started the conversation with which school she attends, if she has friends, boy or girl, and then she started to ask her some other questions like if she is happy, if she smokes, and other questions. The last question she ended with was, ‘What does she prefer, boy or girl?’” the upset mother recounted.
The mother said she asked her daughter what the doctor meant, but her daughter said she didn’t know. As someone who has seen the cultural shift in other countries relating to gender, she is deeply concerned.
“This is the way they are having their hidden agenda, their LGBT agenda coming in creepingly, to really disrupt people’s mind,” she said.
Freedom Come Rain was not able to reach the medical chief of staff at UHWI, Dr. Carl Bruce, for comment as calls to his phone were unanswered up to press time.
However, Jamaica’s chief medical officer, Dr. Jacquiline Bisasor-McKenzie, suggested that a formal report be made to the UHWI and/or to the Ministry of Health and Wellness’s (MOHW) Standard and Regulations Division when she wa
s contacted.
A story carried in the New York Post in 2021 found that gender ideology is becoming a booning business for medical practitioners.
According to the report, “Parents across the nation are facing a new threat to their children: the transgender-industrial complex. For different but sometimes overlapping reasons, the medical establishment, Big Pharma, the culture industry, and government agencies are leading our kids on the road toward “transitioning”—whether parents like it or not.”
At the time, the American Medical Association had announced that sex should be removed as a legal designation on the public part of birth certificates. At medical schools nationwide, would-be physicians were berating their professors for still insisting on the bodily nature of sex. The newspaper reported that Lisa Littman, a physician-scientist at Brown University, had faced backlash after her research found that children tended to experience a “rapid onset of gender dysphoria” after being exposed to transgender ideology through peers or media.
The University of the West Indies, which trains the bulk of doctors for UHWI, faced intense backlash last year after it was revealed in the media that a proposed gender policy was drafted, which would require everyone connected to the regional institution to be referred to by the gender with which they identify. The policy was being designed to create “gender mainstreaming,” which was described as a process of incorporating a gender perspective into organisational policies, strategies, and administrative functions, as well as into the institutional culture of an organisation. Nothing more has been said of the policy since several parents threatened to pull their children.
The MOHW has also come under fire for pushing gender ideologies that contravene Jamaica’s constitution. Last year, a Christian youth organisation, the Love March Movement, called on the Ministry of Health and Wellness (MOHW) to explain new designations on the HIV/AIDS Confidential Reporting Form, which, instead of the generic male and female identifiers at birth, included other options like “male to female transgender,” “female to male transgender,” and “other,” with a requirement that individuals “specify” the “other” references.
“Why is it that medical professionals are being forced to take part in this way of thinking that persons can be born male but then you have to refer to them as female or that they are actually female? That is what this form is saying that the medical practitioner has to fill out. We should not be forced to take part in a delusional system of thinking. These forms, our analyses, and our methods of reporting should be based on truth and reality. If it is that we want to capture the information, to know whether or not persons are suffering with gender dysphoria, we should ask them,” Dr. Daniel Thomas, president of the organisation, who brought the issue to national attention, stated at the time.
In response, health minister Dr. Christopher Tufton said the ministry had noted the concerns and, “based on an internal review, it was agreed that the form, while supporting a detailed epidemiological profile for public health, does not comply with existing constitutional and legal structures of the Government of Jamaica.”
When asked for his views regarding this latest development involving UHWI, Dr. Thomas said the situation highlights the need for medical doctors to have culturally appropriate guidelines for interacting with children.
“Especially in this day and age, seeing that there is heightened awareness of an aggressive pro-LGBT agenda internationally, yes, but also locally, coming out of the university that the hospital is attached to via the proposed gender policy and the recent exposure of the Ministry of Health’s approach to children via the deviant Yute Chatz chatbox,” he said.
“Until the age of majority, the rights of the parents should be duly respected, with medical facilities being sources of support for children, parents, and families without seeming to go behind the backs of parents,” he said.
