Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle

EXTENDED TRAILER: The transgender craze is growing and metastasizing in America and worldwide. Confusion is abounding. And while Western cultures celebrate and elevate gender chaos, the societal and cultural costs are quickly mounting.

That’s why enterprising journalist Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post is offering a no-holds-barred exploration of the topic in “Generation Indoctrination,” a new documentary-style podcast series aimed at exploring the roots and impact of the transgender debate.

Showalter, an intrepid reporter at the forefront of covering the movement, believes “Generation Indoctrination” will inform listeners about its origins while also helping reframe peoples’ understanding of why our cultural devolution matters and what’s truly at stake.

“From a loss of parental rights to botched and destroyed young lives, the dire impact of the transgender movement leaves little room for apathy,” Showalter said. “We’ll explore the chaotic state of our education system, the overtly sinister actions and craven cowardice of our institutions, the history of how we arrived where we are, and much more.”

In this five-part investigative podcast series, Showalter masterfully takes listeners through heartbreaking stories, expert opinions, and bewildered academics’ experiences as these individuals push back on the narratives being perpetuated and targeted at young minds.

“We believe this is an important topic to explore for such a time as this,” Dr. Chris Chou, CEO of The Christian Post, said of the series. “With lives and truth hanging in the balance, ‘Generation Indoctrination’ offers a restorative dose of reality desperately needed in our post-truth era.”

As many Christians watch in horror, wondering how culture devolved so quickly and what’s poised to happen next, “Generation Indoctrination” gives parents and other key stakeholders the knowledge needed to understand the problem — and the path forward.

Showalter is available for interviews to discuss “Generation Indoctrination” and the transgender debate more broadly.

“Generation Indoctrination” premieres Friday, October 14 on Edifi and on your favorite podcast platforms.

“Families are being torn apart.” That’s a heartbreaking reality at the center of the transgender craze today.

In the second installment of the “Generation Indoctrination Podcast,” host Brandon Showalter explores the scandal inside our medical institutions, exposing how an affirmation-only approach to the transgender crisis is obliterating families and leaving children lost, confused, and maimed.

This philosophy, which is under the umbrella of so-called “gender-affirming care,” states a child’s notion of their so-called “gender identity” — even if it is the opposite sex — must be immediately and unquestionably affirmed.

In episode two, Showalter takes a deeper look into the world of medicine and the institutional power, especially in the corporate media, working to further this ideology. Those who dare to criticize or challenge it are often silenced or shamed in order to make them fall in line.

Dr. Quentin Van Meter, an endocrinologist and president of the American College of Pediatricians, and Dr. Andre Van Mol, a family physician, are just two of the voices boldly standing up to take listeners inside this complex cabal.

“The first weapon that they use is, ‘If you don't believe what we say, then you are bigoted and hateful.’ That's kind of the starting point,” Van Meter explains. “And it's a sort of an unspoken truth because if anybody does really come outside the box and say, “Whoa, wait a minute. This isn't right,’ they are immediately attacked in any way possible.”

But this pressure in the medical field isn’t limited to the physicians at the helm of influential entities governing professional protocols and their public policy positions. It is also felt in the doctor’s offices and involves the coercion of parents — moms and dads who are many times already reeling in confusion over the internal turmoil their children are experiencing.

The affirmation-only approach seizes upon this frenzy to push parents toward affirming and even transitioning their children. While a handful of European nations are now moving away from this pathway, the United States and Canada appear to be proceeding full-spead ahead, with youth being propelled toward puberty-blocking drugs and life-altering surgeries.

The consequences are profound. Lives hang in the balance. Listen to episode two of “Generation Indoctrination” to explore the dangers surrounding fast-tracking kids into medicalization in this transgender mania.

“What a lie from the pit of hell.” That’s how Arkansas state Rep. Robin Lundstrum frames the claim from some that children won’t face long-term harm from so-called gender transition measures. She’s just one of the voices who appear in the fourth installment of “Generation Indoctrination: Inside the Transgender Battle.”

At the baseline of the transgender movement is an affirmation-only model that leaves no room for questions, inquiry, rational discussion, or debate. As we’ve explored thus far, the implications of this sinister approach have impacted our schools, medical institutions, and families.

In the fourth installment of “Generation Indoctrination,” we explore the perils of affirmation-only approaches on the legal and legislative fronts. Often driven by emotion, these policies create familial crises and threaten parental rights.

And it’s the “feelings” part of the equation that begs to be broken down. In this episode, a therapist, who chose to speak under a pseudonym for fear of retribution, explained her belief that this handling is both tragic and dangerous, especially for kids.

“It's solely based upon our feelings and I don't know about you, but I know my own feelings change from time to time,” she said. “And this is particularly true of young girls in middle school. Young people's feelings are all over the place.”

This dynamic, mixed with problematic assumptions, is creating a crisis — one based on the lie that happiness and feelings are at the core of truth.

“Happiness is always fleeting, so this is severely flawed and thinking that I can be in a constant state of happiness, but this is the construct,” Carla said, noting that another assumption is that a person is his or her feelings and such feelings much be expressed outwardly.

Showalter takes all of these elements and begins to explore how these emotions and the associated affirmation craze become codified into law. But while the government descends into madness, states and communities across the country are fighting back.

Parents like Florida mom January Littlejohn often find themselves locked in legal battles over their children’s identity crises, which is why the legislative and legal elements of the transgender battle must be fully comprehended.

“This is creating a huge wedge between parents and their children. It certainly did that in my family,” she said. “It was a year and a half of a nightmare I do not wish upon anybody.”

Littlejohn’s attorney, Vernadette Broyles, also delivered a stirring and convicting call to action for anyone deeply concerned over these matters. “We need to communicate to the school officials, ‘[Our children] belong to us. We want them more, and you cannot have them,” she said.

2024 is being called the biggest election year in history — and with good reason. Seven of the world’s ten most populous countries, including the United States, will hold national elections this year. As more people than ever before are expected to vote in 2024, what exactly does it mean to be a “Christian voter” in America today? Is it merely a Christian who votes? Or something far more nuanced?

That’s the question at the forefront of The Christian Post podcast series and upcoming live event, "Politics In the Pews." Through conversations with a variety of Evangelical voices from across the political spectrum, "Politics In the Pews" looks at the history and influence of Evangelicalism in American politics, where churches and Christian leaders stand on the presumed Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump, and how “Christian nationalism” could sway independent voters.

Topics will cover the rise and fall of the “Religious Right,” the “Trump factor,” Christian nationalism, the pros and cons of church ballot collection efforts, how Hispanic Evangelical leaders are engaging their congregations, and a panel of leading Christian voices on the state of religious liberty in America in 2024.

On today's preview, "Politics In the Pews" host Ian Giatti joins Billy Hallowell to preview the podcast series, which premieres July 12. Be sure to subscribe to the show TODAY so you can start listening when the first episode releases. Listen here:

The transgender craze is growing and metastasizing in America and across the world. Confusion is abounding. And while Western cultures celebrate and elevate it, the costs are quickly mounting. From a loss of parental rights to botched and destroyed young lives, this movement leaves little room for apathy.

Brandon Showalter, a journalist with The Christian Post, has spent years covering the developments of the so-called gender identity movement. In this five-part investigative podcast series, he'll take you through parents’ heartbreaking stories. He'll also explore the chaotic state of our education system in the United States and the overtly sinister actions and craven cowardice of our institutions.

"Generation Indoctrination" will look at the history of how we arrived where we are, and so much more. In this inaugural episode, we’ll specifically tackle how some of our schools have become indoctrination centers for gender ideology — and the dire impact this is having on families. We’ll cover the harrowing journey of January Littlejohn, a mother from Florida whose daughter's own experience with gender confusion and her school's purported reactions have sparked her to action.

We'll also hear from attorneys, school board members, parent advocates, and other experts who have deep concerns over where this movement is taking us. This is "Generation Indoctrination."
