The Biden regime is repurposing federal foster care funds to pay for children wishing to change their gender identity. A document from the Children’s Bureau clarifies that federal funds can now be used by child welfare agencies to “support the provision of services, interventions, and supports to LGBTQIA2S+ children.”
Titled “Federal Funding to Support Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, Plus (LGBTQIA2S+) Children, Youth, Young Adults, and Families,” the document explains that child welfare funds can now be used to support kids’ “expression of their gender identity and/or sexual orientation.”
“[F]unding may be used in a number of ways to support LGBTQIA2S+ youth and allow them to participate in positive, affirming, age-appropriate activities,” the document states. “For example, Chafee funds may be used to purchase personal items related to supporting a youth’s expression of their gender identity and/or sexual orientation.”
The Chafee program was established to help children within the foster care system transition into adult life, with an emphasis on supporting education, housing, and employment services. However, with the redefinition under the Biden government, clothing and items such as chest binders and prosthetic penises are now eligible for federal funding.
The Biden regime has energetically engaged in the promotion of radical gender identity theory to children. Specifically, the government recently mandated transgender pronoun use in schools. It has also promoted the so-called “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
