Contending for Truth Amid a Turning Tide
Made possible by
At long last, the tide has started to turn on the national scene regarding the madness of gender ideology. In the wake of recent legal and political developments at the federal level, which followed a similar and sizable state-level backlash, policies are changing, and the public appears to have awakened.
But even as executive orders are affecting change - pediatric gender clinics in prominent hospitals closing, the Supreme Court ruling in favor of states that restrict the chemical and surgical trans procedures on minors - the infrastructure and tentacles of gender ideology and the medical industry that props it up remain entrenched. This will take time to undo, and the truth about what has happened and the unfolding fallout must be told.
Join Pastor Dr. Robert J. Pacienza and Institute for Faith and Culture as The Christian Post presents “Unmasking Gender Ideology III". We will discuss the current landscape and what lies ahead, and how Christians can and should approach this present moment. We will engage frontline voices who have been making change happen, in addition to those who’ve endured the terrible suffering the ideology unleashes on families and the emerging medical scandal that so-called “gender-affirming care” has yielded.
We invite you to join us in efforts to support and encourage families who deserve our compassion as they navigate this devastating path.

Amy Atterberry is a mother whose transgender identifying daughter was victimized by doctors, while still a minor, without her consent.
Pamela Garfield-Jaeger is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She has worked in a variety of settings including community-based agencies, residential programs for foster youth, schools, and mental health clinics in multiple roles, including clinical supervisor. In 2017, she had to leave her profession due to a severe disability and when she returned in 2021, so much in the mental health profession changed. The most radical shift was the prevalence of trans-identified teens and how her colleagues were immediately affirming their identities, rather than address underlying issues. Because Pamela was forced to leave her California health care position due to COVID mandates, and continues to cope with moderate chronic pain and can't work a regular full-time schedule, she has been emboldened to speak out on these issues, provide training and resources for parents and like-minded therapists, and provide 1:1 consultation.
Pamela has written, "A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families", geared for families who are trying to make sense of the gender issue, and give the practical tips. She has also written a children's book about self-acceptance called Froggy Girl, which will be available on July 15, 2025. www.froggygirlbook.com. Pamela is also an op-ed contributor to The Epoch Times and Human Events and has appeared in three documentaries on the harms of gender medicine.
