NEW GUIDELINES FOR TRANSGENDER STUDENTS. AGREE OR BE PUNISHED.

Parents across Massachusetts are upset over new rules that would not only allow transgender students to use their restrooms of their choice – but would also punish students who refuse to affirm or support their transgender classmates.

Last week the Massachusetts Department of Education issued directives for handling transgender students – including allowing them to use the bathrooms of their choice or to play on sports teams that correspond to the gender with which they identify.The 11-page directive also urged schools to eliminate gender-based clothing and gender-based activities – like having boys and girls line up separately to leave the classroom.Schools will now be required to accept a student’s gender identity on face value.“A student who says she is a girl and wishes to be regarded that way throughout the school day and throughout every, or almost every, other area of her life, should be respected and treated like a girl,” the guidelines stipulate.

According to the Dept. of Education, transgender students are those whose assigned birth sex does not match their “internalized sense of their gender.”They said gender nonconforming students “range in the ways in which they identify as male, female, some combination of both, or neither.”

“The responsibility for determining a student’s gender identity rests with the student,” the guidelines dictate. “One’s gender identity is an innate, largely inflexible characteristic of each individual’s personality that is generally established by age four…As a result, the person best situated to determine a student’s gender identity is that student himself or herself.”The new rules would also prevent teachers and administrators from telling parents with which gender their child identifies.“School personnel should speak with the student first before discussing a student’s gender nonconformity or transgender status with the student’s parent or guardian,” the directive states.

The guidelines were issued at the request of the state board of education to help schools follow the 2011 anti-discrimination law protecting transgender students.“These students, because of widespread misunderstanding and lack of knowledge about their lives, are at a higher risk for peer ostracism, victimization, and bullying, the document read.

The Massachusetts Family Institute denounced the new rules calling them a violation of privacy.“Fundamentally, boys need to be using the boys’ room and girls need to be using the girls’ rooms, and we base that on their anatomical sex, not some sort of internalized gender identity,” said Andrew Beckwith, the institute’s general counsel.Beckwith told Fox News the new policy has a “very broad standard that is ripe for abuse.”“The policy allows students to have one gender identity at home and another at school,” he said. “And it refuses to let teachers and administrators tell parents what gender their child is at school.”Another part of the directive that troubles parents deals with students who might feel comfortable having someone of the opposite sex in their locker room or bathroom.The state takes those students to task – noting their discomfort “is not a reason to deny access to the transgender student.”And any student who refuses to refer to a transgendered student by the name or sex they identify with could face punishment.

For example – a fifth grade girl might feel uncomfortable using the restroom if there is an eighth grade transgendered boy in the next stall.Under the state guidelines, the girl would have no recourse, Beckwith said.“And if the girl continued to complain she could be subjected to discipline for not affirming that student’s gender identity choice,” he told Fox News.“It should not be tolerated and can be grounds for student discipline,” the directive states.

How the Fashion Industry Affects Women!

It would be easy to assume the glitzy world of high fashion has little bearing on the every day lives of women, it may be even harder to see a spiritual link with the fashion industry.

However, as Prophet TV can testify the world of high fashion is one of intense spiritual activity. When in 2010 Prophet TV first targeted the New York Fashion Week we exposed high level witchcraft and spirits of death- the likes of which are hard to find in any other sphere. Through intense intercession these spirits have been challenged and we can see results in the trends being released in the fashion world; we also saw earlier this year the exposure of fashion designer John Galliano in Paris.

However, why does this matter. The fashion industry creates a covering, and mantle which comes upon those who partake of it. What spirit influences the designs and fashions filters down to affect what you wear, and what your children wear.

What spirit is behind the “look” of super-skinny? Why do fashion magazines portray an image of beauty only attainable through near starvation, where the models look like famine victims? These are not images of health and beauty. Consistently in scientific studies it is proven men do not find this type of woman attractive, so why is it pushed as sexy and beautiful? As a result of the continual bombardment of extremely skinny models young, pre-pubescent girls now believe the ideal body image of a grown woman is more like that of a taller version of a pre-teen: without curves and tiny breasts. Is it any wonder these girls struggle with their own body image as they enter adolescence and nature creates the breasts and curves of womanhood? Are these fashion magazines imparting a spirit of anorexia to your daughters?

Are you aware that many of the most influential fashion designers of women’s clothes are homosexual men, many of them use as their muse’s effeminate men, often their own lovers? A new trend has began to emerge: the use of men to model female clothes. Currently one of the most in demand models is transgender model Lea T, the Brazilian model born Leandro Cerez, was the muse of the creative director of Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci, and he hired him/her as his fit model. Lea T is currently undergoing a full sex change and now exclusively models female clothes.

God created us male and female, however the spirit over the fashion industry seems to push an agenda of androgyny.

Why are fashion houses marketing clothes to children which are strongly sexual. Little girls are being sold clothes and underwear which are miniature versions of adult clothing. Padded bras for pre-teens… why?
