LAURA BRYANT HANFORD
@ The FederalistA sophisticated, nationwide “accreditation” campaign by the National Children’s Alliance (NCA) is covertly building a “gender-affirming” monopoly over official child abuse proceedings managed by child advocacy centers (CACs) in every state.
A recent Virginia bill that would have granted NCA sole statutory control over the accreditation of these centers has brought to light similar legislation in many states. NCA is the primary membership association for CACs, offering an accreditation process that generally reflects years of laudable service to victimized children. The notable and dangerous exception? NCA’s embrace of so-called “gender-affirming care.”
The “gender-affirming” treatment model fails the basic standards of evidentiary support and has been curtailed by multiple countries as a result. Britain’s recently released watershed Cass Review comprehensively details the paucity of evidence and the risks of harm. In direct contrast, NCA Executive Director Teresa Huizar asserts that “[d]enying trans children the right to determine their own identity kills them.”
Ironically, this belief system endangers the very children NCA seeks to help.
It is no accident that NCA’s push for control over accreditation in states is mirrored at the federal level by the Biden administration’s new LGBT-affirming “certification” rule for prospective foster and adoptive parents. The Biden rule stands to devastate the foster system, which relies heavily on reality-affirming families of faith.
Both the NCA and the Biden “accreditation” processes put vulnerable children at risk from misguided personnel convinced that “misgendering” is abuse. Children have been wrongfully removed from loving families, while children already in state care have been denied foster and adoptive homes, facing harm from state-sanctioned medical transition instead.
States must act not only to prevent reality-denying “accreditation” monopolies but by codifying in law the most basic of truths: It is not “abuse” to raise a girl as a girl or a boy as a boy.
State-sanctioned Abduction and Denial of Homes
From Virginia to California, to Indiana and Montana, parents have lost children to state systems whose mission to protect children has been hijacked by gender ideologues. Children have been taken from parents for medicalization and removed into state systems where the risk of actual abuse skyrockets. They have suffered lifelong harm and even died. Some Democrat-run states, by excluding reality-affirming foster families, have denied thousands of homes to vulnerable children. ...

Transgenderism has been called the medical scandal of our time. Facilitated by contemporary culture’s voyeuristic fascination with all things sexual, and its blithe willingness to turn a blind eye to the mutilated bodies and psychological devastation in transgender activism’s wake, this social and political movement is sweeping through our nation’s schools with catastrophic consequences for children, families, and society.
