A San Francisco Bay Area counseling service is enabling children to discuss issues such as gender and sexuality with adults in online chat groups, often without the consent or knowledge of their parents.
The program, called “Outlet” and sponsored by Adolescent Counseling Services, an LGBT public school therapy contractor which works with several public schools and youth centers in the Bay Area, offers 10-year-olds the opportunity to discuss highly sexualized topics with 18-year-olds in a “LGBTQIA+ youth group” as well as a “Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color” group for people between 14 and 25.
Upon signing up for the discussions, children are asked whether they would like their participation to be hidden from their parents or guardians. Outlet also gives them the chance to have their affiliation hidden when the program tries to contact them.
“Social groups… are a great place to build community, explore identity and work on developing social skills and relationships,” the program suggests, adding it provides “a safe environment that is confidential, inclusive, and non-judgmental.”
“This is extremely dangerous,” argues San Francisco lawyer and leader of a support group for parents of transgender children, Erin Friday. “We’re talking about 10-year-olds with 18-year-olds? I can’t think of one good reason why this should be occurring, especially behind parents’ backs.”
Gavin Newsom‘s California has become increasingly radical in its attempts to push transgenderism and LGBT politics on minors in recent years, such as threatening to fine schools up to $1.5 million if they refuse to teach children about sex and allowing transgender children to reside in “residential shelter services” without their parent’s consent.
