Beyond Abortion: Planned Parenthood's 'gender affirming care' is another path to destruction

As a self-professed leader in abortion and ‘gender-affirming care,’ Planned Parenthood guides every dehumanizing step along the ‘pathway’ of human bodily destruction. From its sex education to its referrals for body-mutilating surgeries, Planned Parenthood historically and currently has helped pave the path to what society faces today: the outright denial of reality, dehumanization of the human person, and the acceptance of the deconstruction of human bodies. The result: the mass genocide of millions of human beings killed by abortion, and the distorted sexualization and mutilation of the minds and bodies of countless children and adults through “transgenderism.” In both, the very humanity of the person is attacked. 

Key Takeaways:

• Planned Parenthood kills babies in the womb and grooms born children to reject the biological reality of sex.

• Planned Parenthood affiliate of the Rocky Mountains states, “At its core, both gender-affirming care and abortion care are rooted in one fundamental principle: bodily autonomy.”

• Biological sex is determined at the very moment of a person's conception and remains the same regardless of any belief or actions taken in direct opposition to reality.

• Both abortion and 'gender-affirming care' stand in direct opposition to real health care, which serves to heal.

• Planned Parenthood offers social, medical, and legal interventions for 'gender affirming care' and has seen explosive growth in these 'services.'

The Details:

Beyond denying the humanity of preborn human beings, Planned Parenthood encourages impressionable children and society to reject self-evident biological realities, ultimately aiming to deconstruct the human body itself. This predatory-style grooming of America’s children is inseparable from the explosive rise in ‘trans’ and ‘non-binary’ self-identification experienced over the last decade. 

Planned Parenthood's 'fundamental principle' of bodily autonomy

To understand the magnitude of Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the transgender movement with its “gender-affirming care” (GAC), it is necessary to first explore why the abortion industry leader is so committed to the cause. 

Planned Parenthood affiliate of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) provides an answer to this question on its website. It states, “At its core, both gender-affirming care and abortion care are rooted in one fundamental principle: bodily autonomy.” PPRM goes on to define bodily autonomy as “having the power to make personal decisions about one’s own body and future, free from political interference, violence, and oppression.” 

Essentially, Planned Parenthood contends that everyone, regardless of age, should possess the "power," or the capacity, to purposely end the life of a preborn human being (violating that child's own bodily autonomy) through abortion, and have the authority and capacity to potentially cause permanent physical damage and body-mutilation upon themselves, a practice often resulting in sterilization. Both abortion and 'gender-affirming care' stand in direct opposition to real health care, which serves to heal. Yet, Planned Parenthood demands these dehumanizing practices be performed without any legal or ethical boundaries. 

Regarding Planned Parenthood’s use of the word “oppression” — Merriam-Webster defines "oppression" as an “unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power.” In reality, no one, not an individual, organization, nor any scientist or doctor, has any “authority or power” over a person’s biological sex. Why? Because it is determined at the very moment of a person's conception and remains the same regardless of any belief or actions taken in direct opposition to reality. In other words, a person cannot be kept or "oppressed" from an “authority or power” which no human possesses.  

What Planned Parenthood is really attempting to say is that it desires to become the dictator of such “power or authority,” over something Planned Parenthood nor anyone could ever control—reality. 

Explosive Growth

Recently, Live Action News reported on the explosive growth in 'gender affirming care' services that many Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country report.  

However, Planned Parenthood and its affiliates are extraordinarily vague in their reporting. For instance, Planned Parenthood and its affiliates often provide no clear and direct explanation of what it means by 'gender affirming care,' which is used as a euphemism often covering a broad range of possible implications. Planned Parenthood and its affiliates state that their involvement in a wide-range of 'gender affirming care' services including “social,” “medical,” and “legal.”

Under the euphemism of 'gender affirming care' these interventions generally include:

Social interventions: 

• Providing ‘gender affirming sex ed’ (which is actually indoctrination) that leads to the acceptance of the intentional use of pronouns that are contrary to a person’s biological reality. This is often a precursor to ‘social transition’; 

• Breast binding (or “chest binding”) is the medically unnecessary compression of breast tissue for the purpose of appearing more masculine. Planned Parenthood provides education and resources on binding.

• “Tucking” is defined by the group Genspect as “the practice of males compressing their genitalia into the groin or up between the legs to produce a “feminine” appearing crotch.” Genspect further describes “tucking” as “another do-it-yourself intervention that causes harm” and “is not recommended.” Planned Parenthood also provides education and resources on how to "tuck."

Medical interventions: 

• The off-label use of sex hormones (e.g., prescribing females testosterone) and puberty blockers (including birth control for minors), which Planned Parenthood provides and prescribes.

• Surgeries, including medically unnecessary surgeries aimed at reflecting how someone ‘feels.’ Some Planned Parenthood affiliates provide referrals for body-mutilating surgeries. 

• Such hormones and surgeries often cause several negative effects including fertility issues and sterilization, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the White House.  

Legal interventions:

• Referrals to help clients change their name on legal documents.

Propaganda used in ‘Social Transition’ 

Part of ‘social transition’ is the acceptance of pronouns, a different name, and outward appearances contrary to one's biological sex. Since this is easily identified by most people as being contrary to reality, ‘gender affirming sex ed’ or indoctrination is necessary to convince children and society to accept affirmations contradicting what is real. As master dehumanizing propagandist, Planned Parenthood and its allies in the Future of Sex Education (FoSE) coalition thrive in this the precursor to ‘social transition.’

Distortion and Merging of Words

The words sex and gender have meaning and those meanings are important. Britannica defines sex as “the sum of features by which members of species can be divided into two groups—male and female—that complement each other reproductively."

Gender is a construct used to describe general attributes commonly perceived as traits associated with the human male compared to human female. The United Nations states that gender is “learned through [the] socialization processes” further explaining that gender is compiled through “the social attributes and opportunities associated with being male and female and the relationships between women and men and girls and boys, as well as the relations between women and those between men.”

In other words, gender reflects the objective reality of biological sex, which never changes. Since gender is a construct of reality, if a person’s understanding is misaligned with biological reality, gender can be incorrectly perceived. 

As Live Action’s report explains, humans are not sexless beings. Rather, biological sex, is part of who a human being, male or female, is. Science affirms this reality, and this is why practices carried out to deny the reality of sex and gender, like Planned Parenthood does, are so damaging to the human person as it literally attempts to strip the person of that which the person is and always will be, male or female.

Misunderstood and misapplied stereotypes have frequently distorted the distinct understanding of what it means to be male or female. These superficial constructs are often flawed and subjective, failing to serve as a reliable reflection of the reality of the human male/female person. For instance, the arbitrary notion that young boys must exclusively favor toy trucks or that girls must prefer dolls is a social fabrication. In truth, a child’s choice of play is irrelevant to their biological reality, because no social stereotype could ever alter or negate an individual’s immutable biological sex. 

Planned Parenthood’s radical deconstruction of gender intentionally severs this foundation of objective truth, and instead attempts to merge and distort biological sex, subjective perceptions of gender, and stereotypes. Even worse, Planned Parenthood’s sex ed and propaganda intentionally aim to distort reality while the person is in their most cognitively vulnerable state of development, during childhood. 

Queer Theory

The strategic messaging used by Planned Parenthood is part of a calculated effort to advance its destructive agenda, exposing its deep-seated alignment with the radical tenets of Queer Theory. Queer Theory is a byproduct of Critical Theory, which the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines as “a family of theories that aim at a critique and transformation of society by integrating normative perspectives with empirically informed analysis of society’s conflicts, contradictions, and tendencies” which narrowly refers to “the work of several generations of philosophers and social theorists in the Western European Marxist tradition known as the Frankfurt School.” 

Queer Theory permeates every facet of Planned Parenthood’s 'gender-affirming' propaganda. By dismantling traditional frameworks, Queer Theory seeks to challenge objective reality and subvert established academic and societal standards under the guise of combating inequality, and fighting for “bodily autonomy.”

In the book “The Queering of the American Child,” authors Logan Lancing and James Lindsay further explain that Queer Theory aims to be a “vehicle for a complete and perpetual cultural and personal revolution by”:  

• Abolishing "normalcy" by deconstructing societally accepted truths for personal advantage.

• Persuading people that nothing is natural and that society must escape the "prison" of traditional constructs.

Lancing and Lindsay further explain in Queer Theory power (the ability to act) and knowledge (the ability to reason, or “know what we know”) are placed on equal footing (power-knowledge), and therefore, conflated and intertwined. “Consequently, knowledge about sex and gender becomes erroneously and directly linked to political control in these areas.” Live Action’s report further highlights that according to Lancing and Lindsay, Queer Theory “must be correctly identified and understood as a political movement aimed at ensuring so-called “justice” and preventing any perceived “injustice” that has been entirely manufactured on subjective thoughts and feelings.”

By severing the anchor of reality from the person’s essence, Queer Theory is easily identifiable in Planned Parenthood’s curriculum. 

For example, it intentionally conflates the words gender and sex, with their definitions purposely ripped apart and merged, as seen in Planned Parenthood’s Sex Ed To-Go for Students (SETG). SETG tells children that sex is “assigned at birth.” To ‘assign’ means to, “designate, select, allot, or appoint.” Objective reality, confirmed by science, is that biological sex is not chosen, designated or appointed, but rather encoded, engrained into a person’s very DNA from the moment of conception. 

Planned Parenthood and its FoSE allies promote gender as "fluid," merging subjective feelings with biological sex to suggest physical reality can change. By linking this fluidity to Planned Parenthood’s warped view of "bodily autonomy," it subsequently labels objective reality as "oppressive." Consequently, Queer Theory propagandists like Planned Parenthood teach gender as something performed or imposed rather than an inherent unchangeable state of being.

The Bottom Line:

Planned Parenthood is carrying out a multi-pronged attack on reality through abortion and so-called ‘gender-affirming care.' This calculated assault begins by transforming the womb into a place of death for the preborn, yet the destruction does not end there. For the children whom Planned Parenthood doesn't abort, it seeks to groom them with a radical political agenda sold as ‘sex ed’ as part of its ‘social transition’ efforts.
