| 0:00.0 | In our world, it can be a very serious thing to tell the truth about what is occurring around the condition we call transgenderism. |
| 0:20.1 | If you oppose transgenderism for reasons of conscience, and if transgenderism surgeries |
| 0:27.8 | are happening, for example, transitional surgeries are happening, and they're not supposed |
| 0:32.1 | to be, and you call that out rightly for purposes of truth, you can find yourself in very hot water indeed. |
| 0:39.2 | That is true in the case of a Christian woman named Vanessa Sivage. |
| 0:43.7 | She was recently fired wrongly, I believe, from Texas Children's Hospital for opposing wrongful |
| 0:50.7 | procedures done to minors. |
| 0:52.7 | That was not what the hospital was reporting was going on. |

| 1:38.0 | facing consequences for it. It's a huge help to her and to us for you to share this. Vanessa, |
| 1:46.0 | without further ado, welcome to grace and truth. Thank you so much for having me. Well, I'm really grateful for you joining me. |
| 1:52.8 | I know it's a busy time for you. You were just fired from Texas Children's Hospital, again, |
| 1:57.6 | in my judgment, unjustly. Can you walk us through in brief form? |
| 2:02.7 | There's more we can double click on the whirlwind you've been in the last few months. |
