Project 2025 Deep Dive 1: Dehumanization of the LGBTQ+ Community
Deanna
A reader asked me a couple months ago if I would dig deep into Project 2025 and expose what’s in there. I put it in my to-do stack of drafts. This is the first installment.
To be fair, there are some good ideas in the sections that I analyze below. I see nothing wrong with using some Title IV-B funding to foster healthy marriage. But these good ideas can be implemented without gratuitous dehumanization of the LGBTQ+ community.
Goal #3: Promoting Stable and Flourishing Married Families. Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families.
For one thing, it puts forth one particular family structure as “the” foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society, implying that all other family structures aren’t. But the dig at LGBTQ+ Equity putting it in scare quotes is an unnecessary cheap shot rooted in bigotry. However, we’re just getting started.
Additionally, Congress should pass the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act to ensure that providers and organizations cannot be subjected to discrimination for providing adoption and foster care services based on their beliefs about marriage.
A better name for the Act would be “Child Welfare Provider Exclusion Act,” since that is exactly what this aims to implement.
It starts getting worse. Fast.
Protect faith-based grant recipients from religious liberty violations and maintain a biblically based, social science–reinforced definition of marriage and family. Social science reports that assess the objective outcomes for children raised in homes aside from a heterosexual, intact marriage are clear: All other family forms involve higher levels of instability (the average length of same-sex marriages is half that of heterosexual marriages); financial stress or poverty; and poor behavioral, psychological, or educational outcomes.
This is sweeping, profound bigotry that even denigrates non-“biblically based” religious marriages. Healthy marriages and families are a worthwhile endeavor, but claiming that theirs is the only way to achieve those goals is degrading and unnecessary.
Now they’re really on a roll of bigotry:
Promoting Life and Family. In dealing with sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies, the OASH should focus on root-cause analysis with a focus on strengthening marriage and sexual risk avoidance. Strong leadership is needed in the Office of Science and Medicine to drive investigative review of literature for a variety of issues including the effect of abortion on prematurity and breast cancer; lack of evidence for so-called gender-affirming care; and physical and emotional damage following cross-sex treatments, especially on children. The OASH should withdraw all recommendations of and support for cross-sex medical interventions and “gender-affirming care.”
First, it’s not “so-called gender-affirming care.” It’s Gender-Affirming Care. And this claim of “physical and emotional damage” is a damnable lie. At it clearly express no concern whatsoever for the emotional damage caused by dehumanizing and denigrating the identity of those who seek these so-called “cross-sex medical interventions.”
Furthermore, this has absolutely nothing to do with “promoting life and family,” and does nothing whatsoever to achieve that goal. It is spite and hate, pure and simple.
But, as expected, they’re not limiting their disdain and disrespect for others’ happiness to that of children. They want to take it away from everyone:
Reissue a stronger transgender national coverage determination. CMS should repromulgate its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding “gender reassignment surgery” for Medicare beneficiaries. In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.
Yes, these freedom-hating people even want to take happiness away from transgender old people. And now, let’s get on to the ripping hate speech.
The Biden Administration has deformed the agency by treating it as a global platform to pursue overseas a divisive political and cultural agenda that promotes abortion, climate extremism, gender radicalism, and interventions against perceived systemic racism.
MAGA’s current scapegoat is so-called “gender radicalism,” whipping up fear and hate about a group of people in classic Nazi style with inflammatory rhetoric. But the lies don’t end there. Nobody “promotes abortion,” and their dreaded and hated “cultural agenda” is nothing more than promoting personal freedom.
Next, they lay bare their unabashed contempt for women’s rights and all reproductive autonomy.
Refocusing Gender Equality on Women, Children, and Families. Instead of protecting women’s and children’s unalienable human rights and propelling their ability to thrive in society, past Democrat Administrations have nearly erased what females are and what femininity is through “gender” policies and practices. For instance, these Administrations have diluted USAID’s focus on assisting vulnerable women, children, and families around the globe by adding protections for and ideological advocacy on behalf of progressive special-interest groups. USAID now aggressively promotes abortion on demand under the guise of “sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights,” “gender equality,” and “women’s empowerment” and advocates for those who claim minority status or vulnerability.
“Women’s empowerment” in disparaging scare quotes. This is nothing but more full-on raging hate speech directed at their hated “gender policies,” women’s rights, and bodily autonomy and personal liberty in general.
But the raging hate storm intensifies:
In addition, the next conservative Administration should rescind President Biden’s 2022 Gender Policy and refocus it on Women, Children, and Families and revise the agency’s regulation on “Integrating Gender Equality and Female Empowerment in USAID’s Program Cycle.” It should remove all references, examples, definitions, photos, and language on USAID websites, in agency publications and policies, and in all agency contracts and grants that include the following terms: “gender,” “gender equality,” “gender equity,” “gender diverse individuals,” “gender aware,” “gender sensitive,” etc. It should also remove references to “abortion,” “reproductive health,” and “sexual and reproductive rights” and controversial sexual education materials.
This is nothing but a full-blown carpet-bombing of individual liberty and personal privacy. These perverts are bedroom, bathroom, and genitalia control freaks, upside down and inside out. Their unparalleled obsession with other people’s bodies surely plays a major role into the high incidence of sexual abuse in far-right churches. They can’t stop thinking about other people’s wee-wees!
This is dehumanization by erasing any positive mention of entire groups of people in federal law. But wait until you see how Chapter 11, the Department of Education chapter gets into the gender hate:
Civil Rights Data Collection On December 13, 2021, OCR published a notice concerning proposed revisions to OCR’s Mandatory Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) in which it proposed to create and collect data on a new “nonbinary” sex category (in addition to the current “male” or “female” sex categories) and to retire data collection that indicates the number of (1) high school-level interscholastic athletics sports in which only male and female students participate, (2) high school-level athletics teams in which only male or female students participate, and (3) participants on high school level interscholastic athletics sports teams in which only male or only female students participate. These poorly conceived changes are contrary to law, fail to take account of student privacy interests and statutory protections favoring parental rights under the Protection of Pupils Rights Amendment, and jettison longstanding data collections that assist in the enforcement of Title IX.
The new Administration must quickly move to rescind these changes, which add a new “nonbinary” sex category to OCR’S data collection and issue a new CRDC that will collect data directly relevant to OCR’s statutory enforcement authority. Student Assistance General Provisions, Federal Perkins Loan Program, and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program Final Regulations Effective July 1, 2023, the department promulgated final regulations addressing loan forgiveness under the HEA’s provisions for borrower defense to repayment (“BDR”), closed school loan discharge (“CSLD”), and public service loan forgive ness (“PSLF”). The regulations also included prohibitions against pre-dispute arbitration agreements and class action waivers for students enrolling in institutions participating in Title IV student loan programs. Acting outside of statutory authority, the current Administration has drastically expanded BDR, CSLD, and PSLF loan forgiveness without clear congressional authorization at a tremendous cost to the taxpayers, with estimates ranging from $85.1 to $120 billion.
The new Administration must quickly commence negotiated rulemaking and propose that the department rescind these regulations. The next Administration should also rescind Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) GEN 22-11 and DCL GEN 22-10 and its letters to accreditation agencies dated July 19, 2022, which are attempts to undercut Florida’s SB 7044, providing universities more flexibility on accreditation. Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance (Title IX) With its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published on July 12, 2022, the Biden Education Department seeks to gut the hard-earned rights of women with its changes to the department’s regulations implementing Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities. Instead, the Biden Administration has sought to trample women’s and girls’ athletic opportunities and due process on campus, threaten free speech and religious liberty, and erode parental rights in elementary and secondary education regarding sensitive issues of sex. The new Administration should take the following steps:
Work with Congress to use the earliest available legislative vehicle to prohibit the department from using any appropriations or from otherwise enforcing any final regulations under Title IX promulgated by the department during the prior Administration. Commence a new agency rulemaking process to rescind the current Administration’s Title IX regulations; restore the Title IX regulations promulgated by then-Secretary Betsy DeVos on May 19, 2020; and define “sex” under Title IX to mean only biological sex recognized at birth. Work with Congress to amend Title IX to include due process requirements; define “sex” under Title IX to mean only biological sex recognized at birth; and strengthen protections for faith-based educational institutions, programs, and activities. The Trump Administration’s 2020 Title IX regulation protected the founda tional right to due process for those who are accused of sexual misconduct. The Biden Administration’s proposed change to the interpretation of Title IX disposes of these rights.
The next Administration should move quickly to restore the rights of women and girls and restore due process protections for accused individuals. At the same time, there is no scientific or legal basis for redefining “sex” to “sexual orientation and gender identity” in Title IX. Such a change misrepresents the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion in Bostock, threatens the American system of federalism, removes important due process protections for students in higher education, and puts girls and women in danger of physical harm. Facilitating social gender transition without parental consent increases the likelihood that children will seek hormone treatments, such as puberty blockers, which are experimental medical interventions. Research has not demonstrated positive effects and long term outcomes of these treatments, and the unintended side effects are still not fully understood.
The next Administration should abandon this change redefining “sex” to mean “sexual orientation and gender identity” in Title IX immediately across all departments. On its first day in offce, the next Administration should signal its intent to enter the rulemaking process to restore the Trump Administration’s Title IX regulation, with the additional insistence that “sex” is properly understood as a fixed biological fact. Official notice-and-comment should be posted immediately. At the same time, the political appointees in the Office for Civil Rights should begin a full review of all Title IX investigations that were conducted on the understanding that “sex” referred to gender identity and/or sexual orientation. All ongoing investigations should be dropped, and all school districts a ected should be given notice that they are free to drop any policy changes pursued under pressure from the Biden Administration. The OCR Assistant Secretary should prepare a report of OCR’s actions for the new Secretary of Education, who should–by speech or letter– publicize the nature of the overreach engaged in by his predecessor. The Secretary should make it clear that FERPA allows parents full access to their children’s educational records, so any practice of paperwork obfuscation on this front violates federal law.
Wow! This uninterrupted stream of bile toward the concept of gender identity spans four pages! Their dehumanization of nonbinary children and adults is withering and meticulous: MAGA wants to do away with the nonbinary designation entirely and invalidate every gender change amendment to birth certificates after the fact.
Clearly, transgender Americans are at the very top of this Fourth Reich’s list for persecution.
But wait; the sheer savagery of the hate speech continues. This ought to tell you what their destructive, hate-driven agenda is all about. After all, it appears on Page 1.
Look at America under the ruling and cultural elite today: Inflation is ravaging family budgets, drug overdose deaths continue to escalate, and children suffer the toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag queens and pornography invading their school libraries.
Oh, my God. Do these thugs have recurring nightmares of being attacked by flying killer gay penises? And of course, there is the current target for their most intensely focus hate “transgenderism” and “drag queens.” These MAGA weirdos are peepee-obsessed perverts!
So, with this as a backdrop, look at the following passage where they redefine the “pursuit of happiness” to “really” mean “the pursuit of blessedness”- blessed, of course, by their deity according to their dictates:
PROMISE #4 SECURE OUR GOD-GIVEN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO ENJOY “THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY.”
The Declaration of Independence famously asserted the belief of America’s Founders that “all men are created equal” and endowed with God-given rights to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It’s the last — “the pursuit of Happiness” — that is central to America’s heroic experiment in self-government. When the Founders spoke of “pursuit of Happiness,” what they meant might be understood today as in essence “pursuit of Blessedness.” That is, an individual must be free to live as his Creator ordained—to flourish. Our Constitution grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought.
