Erin Friday, a California mom and leader within the parent advocacy group Our Duty, rescued her daughter from transgenderism. Erin’s daughter was introduced to transgender ideology in a sex-ed class in seventh grade.

Using the Genderbread person, the students were taught that they could have “a female body with a male brain” and that gender is a spectrum.

“The seed was planted after that class,” she said. “And in fact, all of her friends, there were five, sat in my front yard saying what their new labels were.” She also said she was “alarmed by the language that they were using, including ‘pansexual,’ which is not a term that 11-year-olds should know.”

Erin’s daughter believed she was “pansexual,” then “lesbian,” and then “transgender.” At the same time, her daughter’s mental health plummeted severely as she suffered from depression.

After about a year and a half of counseling, tough love, and many tears, Erin’s daughter reidentified with her biological gender and now has a strong relationship with her mother. But Erin wants to stop this from happening to any other kid. So she’s founded an initiative called ProtectKidsCA.
