| 0:09.4 | A tragic trend the past few years is the explosion in the number of young people who identify |
| 0:14.6 | as transgender or non-binary. At the same time, corporations, educators, and the media |
| 0:20.5 | are promoting this new and harmful ideology of gender confusion and mass. All while social media |
| 0:26.0 | influencers are actively grooming young people, while it can take time for a counter-revolution |
