In Illinois, a public library will host a seminar on “pronouns” for children who are considering cross-dressing or undergoing sex change surgeries.

North Cook News reported:

The Wilmette Public Library, in conjunction with the parent-teacher association at McKenzie Primary School, is co-hosting an event to teach students who are considering “sex-change surgery” or cross-dressing how to convince their peers to use different “pronouns.”

The seminar will feature Dr. Courtney Wells & Lee Wells, the co-authors A Kids Book About Pronouns. The library’s announcement describes Courtney and Lee Wells as a lesbian married couple from Chicago, who are “committed” to justice and inclusion for their children and all other kids. Courtney prefers pronouns like “they/them” while Lee prefers pronouns like “she/her”.

Courtney is a trauma psychologist who has a super-cool TEDx presentation on dismantling gender binary. The announcement stated that Lee is a therapist who works with LGBTQ+ families and children and is co-founder at Mind Chicago.

In her Basic Parent Guide to Gender Inclusive Language, Lee Wells offers parents advice on how to address gender dysphoria in children without offending them, such as removing the words “boys” or “girls”. She also provides “parent coaching” and “therapy” to “young people aged 6 to 26 who are struggling with big feelings, worry, and sadness.”

Breitbart reported that a cultural change has occurred regarding the treatment given to children who identify as transgender. Established institutions such as England’s National Health Service have banned puberty blocking agents for minors.

NHS England’s decision to ban the use of puberty blocking agents in children was based on the lack of evidence regarding its safety and clinical effectiveness. The U.K. Government also praised the “landmark” decision, hailing it in the “best interest of children”. NHS England proposed the ban in June and released the definitive decision after a review by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
