Children now are inundated from a young age with messages about sexuality and gender, the founders of the CHANGED Movement say, but those messages aren't always positive.

"What [society is] doing is not allowing children to really explore their sexuality before labeling them as LGBT or Q or anything else, and suggesting that at 7 or 8 you could know precisely something about your identity that really takes years to develop and understand," Elizabeth Woning, co-founder of the CHANGED Movement says.

The CHANGED Movement, founded by Woning and Ken Williams, is a Christian organization based in California that works with people who are seeking to leave a homosexual lifestyle or who are struggling with gender identity or same-sex attraction. 

Woning and Williams recently released a new booklet called “Self-Discovery: How Childhood Shaped Our Sexual Identity.” The resource is intended to help the church, and society as a whole, understand how gender identity is often influenced by childhood experiences and beliefs.

"In this booklet, what I sought to do was call into question why we're trying to push children into this LGBT identity, and then disclose or clarify what it looks like to rediscover your childhood so that you realize you weren't just born this way," Woning says. 

Woning and Williams join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to talk about their work, and how to help those struggling with gender identity.

What is the basis for the current aggressive transgender treatment for kids? Dr. Miriam Grossman, a child psychiatrist and author, says it's rooted in a study done of 55 children in the Netherlands who suffered from gender dysphoria, and were given puberty blockers.

But there's problems with how American doctors are using that study, and Grossman explains why. She also discusses what psychiatrists think behind closed doors about the current transgender treatment, and resources for parents with a child with gender dysphoria.

Herbie Newell and his staff at Lifeline Children’s Services journey with many women through unplanned pregnancies. 

Over the years, Newell has come to see that “abortion isn’t about liberating women."

"It is the sexual ‘liberation’ of men,” he recently wrote for The Washington Stand. 

For too long, the role of men has been ignored or minimized in the conversation about abortion, Newell says. Men can play a critical role in furthering a culture of life in America. In fact, their role is irreplaceable. 

Newell joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the negative effects abortion has on men, and to explain how men can become empowered to support women facing crisis pregnancies.
