Kids Being Pushed to Transition + The “T...

Fortis Institute
About this episode
Kids are being told transition will solve their distress—and sometimes that the alternative is suicide. Todd examines the stories of two young people who were swept into transgender ideology and later rejected it, revealing how schools, social media, peers, therapists, and doctors can influence vulnerable kids.



Segment 1



• Layla Jane began questioning her gender after years of emotional struggles.



• Social media helped convince her that transitioning could be the answer.



• At just 13, she underwent a mastectomy.



Segment 2



• What wasn’t Layla told before taking testosterone and having surgery?



• Transition promised happiness—but it didn't resolve her underlying struggles.



• Todd examines the evidence surrounding puberty blockers and youth mental health.



Segment 3



• Simon Amaya Price describes the brokenness that preceded his transgender identity.



• School and online influences gave him a new explanation for his struggles.



• How does transgender ideology spread among vulnerable teenagers?



Segment 4



• Simon says nearly every professional he encountered affirmed his transgender identity.



• His father said no to medical transition—and Simon is now grateful he did.



• What should parents and churches learn from these stories?
