The Identity Crisis of Stolen YouthKevin McCullough

Moms are never to be trifled with.
There is something about the potent combination of insight, discretion, wisdom, patience, urgency and ferocity that separates healthy moms from the rest of society.
It’s not that some single childless women can’t develop that balance—there’s just much less of the need to.
A mother—uniquely by design—lives a life that defies every culturally current trend. Her very actions of selfless commitment gives a sense of security for children that they uniquely lack without her.
I’m not eliminating a need for fatherhood. Fathers are needed for unique purposes as well.
Rather the women that fulfill that description above may have many different contexts, and may come in many different varieties of personalities—but it is that selflessness that defines their unifying purpose.

Last week in this space I wrote of the general premise of today’s left and their widespread and general distaste of children. I also advanced the parallel argument that when the left does speak of children’s “rights” it is actually attempting to advance their own issues. From viewpoints on race to the all out obsession with sex, gender, and abortion. They seek to undermine parental knowledge, permission, authority and ultimately custody of the child that God uniquely gave to that parent. Nothing could be more damaging to that very child than to continually undermine all that these parents—especially moms—give to these kids. Yet the left cares not.
Hence mothers are awake and forcefully pushing back against these forces. And they will defeat them.
Over at the Independent Women’s Forum one mom in particular—Kelsey Bolar—has dedicated much of her reporting to documenting the disastrous trend of sexually transitioning children. Increasingly the practice is being sought against the will, and without the knowledge of parents—especially moms. Whether it’s a judge making the child a pawn in an ugly on-going custody fight, or teachers from public schools who openly defy the parents’ wishes, the trend is getting worse. And as presidents like Biden-smash down executive action on school districts—in essence blackmailing them in exchange for federal monies, the desperation on the hearts of moms only increases.
In response Bolar has spent much of the last two years documenting the damage all of this is creating in the lives and bodies of children. That damage is something these moms will go to war to stop. The documentary Identity Crisis is a damning look at these all too common facts. Bolar herself, a mom, understands that it is much easier to win this war now, thus she makes the incredible sacrifice to fight on—while tending to the needs of her growing family.
