The Continuing Tragedy of Trans Care

Posted on September 4, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Gender-affirming care, until recently, has been gaining popularity around the world for treating gender dysphoria in children and adults. All that is changing. The term itself mischaracterizes the treatment. Gender-affirming care is not care. It is chemical and surgical mutilation.

What is Truth?

Posted on August 9, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

What is truth? Pilate said those words to Jesus some 2,000 years ago as Christ was headed to the cross, and it’s a question that the world continues to ask today. The answer the culture has arrived at has turned out to be less than satisfactory.

A Convenient Dodge

Posted on February 7, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Jesus forgave the sinner. He didn’t accommodate the sin. We read about this in John, Chapter 8 — often referred to as the “Woman caught in the act of adultery.” (John 8:2-11) Any of us who have read or heard this story about the adulterous woman should be asking why the Pharisees were not so hot on the idea of dealing with the sin of the adulterous man. And we should clearly see that Jesus is a God of mercy and forgiveness. Does He then excuse adultery? Hardly.

The Transgender Trap, Part 2

Posted on January 9, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

In part one of this article,, we looked at a brief recently filed by 21 attorneys general from around the country. The attorneys general are urging the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to strike down a commonsense Idaho law that would keep boys out of girls' bathrooms, and among the brief’s signatories is Illinois' own Kwame Raoul. One sentence in the brief stood out in particular, as it compared "transgender" youth to their "cisgender counterparts."

Government Makes a Terrible Parent

Posted on October 27, 2023 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

The story of Sage Blair is a worst-case scenario of epic proportions. At fourteen years old, Sage, who is being raised by her grandparents, began questioning her gender identity. At school, she was encouraged to socially “transition” and began using a male name, male pronouns, and the boys’ restroom. It was only after she was sexually harassed and threatened by male students in the restroom that Sage’s grandparents found out she was embracing a transgender identity.

What Happened?

Posted on August 22, 2023 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Two weeks ago, Governor Pritzker signed a bill, Public Act 103-0518, allowing any multiple-occupancy restroom to be identified as an all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom at the discretion of the building owner or leaseholder. Anyone of any “gender” could use it. Why was this law introduced, why did it pass?

Woke Intolerance

Posted on May 9, 2023 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

We've all seen the bumper sticker that spells COEXIST by combining the symbols of major world religions in a convenient order. The bumper sticker seems reasonable; after all, isn't it just representing the world as it is—people of many religions all existing side by side in the same space? If that were all the bumper sticker meant, then I might consider putting one on my car; it's an obviously true fact about the world. However, the sticker means much more than that...

Fetus vs. Baby

Posted on February 23, 2023 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

The Associated Press Stylebook, a preeminent reference guide for English grammar and journalistic principles and style—used by both educators and journalists—has chosen some eyebrow-raising guidelines for how reporters ought to address the topic of abortion in their reports. These guidelines show us, on a much more subtle level, how fiddling with words is fiddling with minds. Let's look at one specific example in detail: the difference between "unborn baby" and "fetus."

No More Single Sex Bathrooms in Chicago Public Schools

Posted on December 8, 2021 by David E Smith

The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system—rife with systemic bias against conservative views of sex and sexuality—has announced its newest effort to cultivate “inclusivity” and “equity” in all of its K-12 schools. The “social justice” activists, puddenheads, and lemmings who lead the CPS have banned all sex-based bathrooms for children and staff. Instead, children and staff are free to use any bathroom they are “comfortable” using.
