The insidious ideology of gender transition for young people is rapidly infecting our culture. Kansas was perfectly positioned to protect children from this dysfunctional approach to sexual confusion.   Then two “flip-flop” votes led to the bitter defeat of the Help Not Harm Law, SB 233.  Confused and vulnerable children will suffer as a result. 

This bill would have stopped so-called “gender transition” procedures in Kansas, like puberty blockers, cross-hormone chemical injections and the surgical manipulation and removal of children’s healthy genitals and breasts. The governor vetoed this legislation and the votes were there for a successful override. But at the last hour, two House members flip-flopped their votes to NO, and the veto was upheld. Those two legislators are Rep. Jesse Borjon (R-Topeka) and Rep. Susan Concannon (R-Beloit). 

We encourage all Kansans to send these legislators an email expressing their disappointment with the flip-flop votes that will lead to countless more children being injured by these sinister procedures.  You can email Rep. Borjon here: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and Rep.Concannon here: This email address is being protected from spambots.

Below are the official “Explanation of Vote” statements from each of these two legislators. 

We are struck by the fact that Rep. Borjorn “strongly” opposes gender reassignment surgery, hormone blockers for children, yet approves the veto and says the bill restricts mental health for children. This is simply not true. Read the bill: SB 233  Rep. Concannon parrots misinformation from the high-profit gender transition industry, including hospitals and abortion providers (yes, gender transition “service” is now part of the abortion industry), lamenting that we are “not listening” to children. This is simply not true.   

There is much to say about the Satanic phenomenon of gender dysphoria and transitioning among young people.  Here is a short video from our friend and nationally recognized author Jason Evert that helps explain the dangers and why our children need to be protected: Jason Evert gender transitioning 

The vote in the House was all Republicans YES except Reps. Concannon, Borjon, Schreiber and Younger, with Democrat Robinson voting YES and all other House Democrats voting NO. In the Senate, all Republicans voted YES on the override except Doll and McGinn, who voted NO, along with all Senate Democrats.
