Little girl looking Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you. Help Now >

Boy scouts to allow girls to join boys-only programs under 'transgender' lie

Transgender does not exist.

The Boy Scouts of America say they will allow girls to join boys-only programs if they think they are boys too. The decision follows what the Boy Scouts says is the "larger conversation" about gender in the country.

The Boys Scouts of America has fallen prey to another lie told in our society, the lie that gender can be changed.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) -- The Boy Scouts of America are now allowing girls who identify themselves as boys to join boys-only programs. The decision follows what they call the "national conversation" on gender identity.

The new practice will allow girls to enter boys-only programs if the parents list the girl as a boy on the application. This revises a long-standing policy that used the gender listed on the birth certificate.


The change went into effect immediately.

The organization released this statement:

'For more than 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America, along with schools, youth sports and other youth organizations, have ultimately deferred to the information on an individual's birth certificate to determine eligibility for our single-gender programs,' the statement said.

'However, that approach is no longer sufficient as communities and state laws are interpreting gender identity differently, and these laws vary widely from state to state.'

The Boy Scouts are a traditional American organization, dedicating to introducing boys to the outdoors, as well as civic duty and other activities for over a hundred years. But the Boy Scouts are not immune to losses in the culture wars which are eroding traditional American values and common sense wisdom in the name of relativism.

The obvious problem is that gender is determined by DNA. No amount of medical manipulation or insistence can change one's DNA. A person is born male or female. A person may experience the sensation of confusion regarding their gender because of their brain, but this is not the same as changing one's gender. The entire notion of "transgender" is a lie intended to normalize something that exists in the brains of some individuals.
