There is something rotten in the Illinois General Assembly. Dozens of Illinois Democrats are cosponsoring House Bill 1596, titled, “The Children And Family Services Act,” a bill that will expunge every occurrence of the pronouns “he,” “she,” “his,” and “her” from existing laws pertaining to children. Wherever the law formerly stated, “he or she,” or “his or her” it now says, “the minor,” or “the child,” or “the applicant,” or “the member.” And they plan to do this to numerous existing laws.

This bill is now in the Illinois Senate after passing in the Illinois House by a partisan vote of 72 to 37 on March 21st.

It seems that “Progressives” in Illinois will do anything to get away from using gender specific pronouns. What could be the reason for refusing to use pronoun-specific language? It is an attempt to erase the recognition of God’s creation of male and female. You see, out of infinite love, God created us man and woman — to complement each other with our masculinity and femininity. Progressives hate that symbiotically ordered relationship. They love sin and chaos.

Here is the legislative synopsis::

Amends various Acts concerning children by: replacing certain pronouns with the nouns to which the pronouns refer; replacing certain instances of the word “biological”; changing the Independent Juvenile Ombudsman to the Independent Juvenile Ombudsperson; deleting certain obsolete language; and making technical and other changes.

The radical trans agenda has reached a point where even the law of the land that mentions men or women infuriates them. And it doesn’t stop there. In the bill, section (20 ILCS 505/5) (from Ch. 23, par. 5005 3 (e)), the phrase, “biological family” is replaced with “birth family.” Even basic biology is no longer accepted in “progressive” Illinois, to the extent that the word “biological” provokes our legislature.

Friends, when society has gone this mad, it is incumbent upon Christians to stand for the Truth. The explanation for this insanity is simple, the Apostle Paul tells us, “And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper” (Romans 1:28).

It is irrational to remove gender-specific pronouns from our vocabulary. It is preposterous to cancel biology. And it is not proper for our lawmakers to thrust the transgender agenda down the throats of the people of Illinois. It is time for us to speak out, and call our local state senator and tell him or her that we do not agree with removing gendered pronouns from legislation regarding our children and family. Boys are boys and girls are girls, and that will never change, no matter if a super majority of state lawmakers wish it weren’t so.

Take ACTION: Click HERE to send a message to your State Senator to urge him or her to vote down HB 1596. You may want to point out that the people of Illinois do not want lawmakers to re-write the English language to accommodate the demands of a group of left-wing ideologues. They have other priorities that demand their attention during this session. Spending time to push legislation that would eliminate pronouns is a non-starter.

Please also contact your state senator by phone during normal business hours via the Capitol switchboard: (217) 782-2000.

Thank you in advance!

Illinois is a wonderful state. What with our potholes, potheads, public schools and politicians, it is a true headscratcher that the California U-Hauls aren’t coming here rather than Texas. Especially since our lawmakers arguably care much more about children’s preferred identity than any other state in the nation.

State Senator Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) recently put his–er, I mean their, name on a perceptive piece of legislation that will benefit Illinois inhabitants for years to come: HB 4626.

Why is a state senator sponsoring an Illinois House bill? I’d be delighted to enlighten you; Harmon’s homies in the House already heroically hurdled HB 4626 through their own chambers before he could move his version through the Illinois Senate. We applaud the zeal of those raring representatives, they proved that they are the woker lawmakers.

This bill would remove gender pronouns and other biology-revealing words in several dozen laws in Illinois, all pertaining to the impressionable minors of our state and the gender they were born with–er, assigned to.

We cannot emphasize enough how enlightened and empathic Senator Harmon is in promoting the eradication of precise diction in our state laws. There are so many children who are not being represented in Illinois because of the exclusive “she/her, “he/him” wording of our texts. You know, those brave souls who go by other pronouns. Who knows how many sleepless nights have been spent worrying about the injustice of clauses that exclusionary pronouns have caused? Times have changed, and patriarchal terms such as “his” should without question be replaced with “their.” Senator Harmon realizes that referring to individuals by restrictive “he/she” language is damaging and offensive and must be put to an end immediately.

This is a vital step for the wellbeing of our state, as our dear Capitol cronies are clearly conscious of; HB 4626 is currently in the committee hopper awaiting a hearing, and many young children who have been harmed by the presence of patriarch-backed pronouns are petitioning the members to hurry up and approve it–before children realize the state has been neglecting those genders other than male and female.

Certain backwoods, homophobic citizens are showing their hatred under the guise of exasperation, claiming that the legislature could be addressing topics of actual importance instead of playing “word games” as they so flippantly put it. Absinthial Amethyst (tey/ter), a nonbinary, pansexual/asexual minor, addresses such concerns bravely and beautifully:

“This is the most pressing issue Illinois is faced with today. Forget about the fact that my generation can’t math or read to save our lives and stop complaining about your stupid taxes! 20 years in the future, what will matter more; that you have no money in your bank account or that our laws are inclusive and safe to read for nonbinary individuals like myself?”

Christians especially are showing their blatant hypocrisy regarding this inclusive legislation, opposing the small changes of the bill based on their “faith.” Deborah Indomitable (a Bible-thumping extremist) declares:

“Changing out he’s and hers with theys and thems does seem, at the outset, to be a trivial matter. But it’s not. See, Christians have been saved by The Word, by The One who invented words—He spoke and here we are, living words from His mouth. We’re the ones who should care most about words and how they are thrown about. HB 4626 with its subtle erasing of pronouns is a lie, because God spoke only two sexes into existence, not 5 or 85 or however many you all think exist, and we love like Christ by pointing that out.”

As you can clearly deduct, Deborah is making excuses for being a bigot by hiding behind what the Bible says. But we all know that if you are a real Christian, you’d be loving like Christ by using the pronouns people prefer, and that would be inclusive of all. HB 4626 will finally fix that for our youth, showing delinquents like Deborah and migrants to Texas that Illinois puts tolerance before truth, and always will.

Take ACTION: Click HERE to send a message to your state representative to ask him or her to vote “NO” to HB 4626. Urge your representative to reject bad grammar, wokeism, and the erasure of women.

Lawmakers have other priorities that demand their attention during this abbreviated session. Spending time to push legislation that would eliminate pronouns is a non-starter.

Illinois Lawmakers Seek to Erase Women

HB 4626 is both a harebrained and destructive bill that seeks to further the agenda of the “trans” cult by erasing language references to biological sex. It’s most particularly dangerous and insulting to women. If passed, this bill will change references to a pregnant “woman” to a “pregnant person.” Sane, rational women and men may be asking, “Why?” The answer is that our leftist leaders are pandering to the “trans” cult by erasing all public recognition of sex differences. This legislation is yet one more incremental step toward that culturally destructive goal. Unfortunately, conservatives excel at ignoring incremental steps toward culturally destructive goals. Ignoring them is so much easier than opposing them.

Ironically this anti-woman bill is sponsored by a woman, State Representative Lakesia Collins (D- Chicago), who, equally ironically, self-identifies on her bio page as a “mother.” She probably meant to say, “person who raises children.” It’s hard to keep track of all the new language rules leftists impose in an Orwellian effort to control what people think.

Two of the three other co-sponsors of the anti-woman bill are women too. Lesbian Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago)—sponsor of all garbage bills in Illinois—and State Representative Anna Stava-Murray (D-Naperville).

Anyone who refuses to publicly acknowledge that women and women only can get pregnant and give birth does not deserve to hold office.

This bill will also expunge every occurrence of the pronouns “he,” “she,” “his,” and “her” from existing laws pertaining to children as well as the words “uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, great-uncle, great-aunt, step mother, step father, step sister, [and] step brother.”

If passed, expect to see more of this kind of propagandistic rhetoric:

• Harvard Med and Continuing Education tweeted, “ethnic minority pregnant and birthing people suffer worse outcomes and experiences during and after pregnancy and childbirth.”

• In June 2022, the Biden administration released its fiscal year budget in which the word “mothers” was stricken and replaced with “birthing persons”: “To help end this high rate of maternal mortality and race-based disparities in outcomes among birthing people …” Apparently, the censors didn’t notice the term “maternal,” which too is on the chopping block among “trans”-cultists and their censorious collaborators.

• An article on the CDC’s website reads, “Although the overall risks are low, people who are pregnant or recently pregnant are at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 when compared to people who are not pregnant.”

• Under Speaker of the U.S. House Nancy Pelosi’s oppressive reign, the terms “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, or granddaughter” are stricken from the text of U.S. House Rules. So too are the words “himself” and “herself,” which are replaced with the ungrammatical “themself.”

And if this anti-woman, anti-science, politically driven sop by legislative toadies to the “trans” cult passes, expect to see more tyrannical diktats from leftists, including politicians. Expect to see mandates issued in Illinois’ General Assembly, Congress, and government schools requiring the use of “desexed and inclusive” language. Expect to see minor children required to use incorrect pronouns when referring to their opposite-sex identifying peers and teachers. Refusal to comply will result in discipline.

The goal of the “trans” cult is not and never has been to respect diversity. The goal has always been to coerce capitulation to the “trans”-cultic desire to eradicate all public recognition of sex differences. Their goal is to erase biological sex as a meaningful and culturally affirmed anthropological phenomenon. If that entails forcing Christians to participate in a lie, so be it.

Don’t let them do it.
