Project 2025 Lies vs. Facts

​​

Lie: Gender-affirming care harms children.
Fact: Major medical organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, endorse gender-affirming care as vital for the well-being of transgender youth.

Lie: LGBTQ+ rights infringe on religious freedoms.
Fact: Protecting LGBTQ+ rights ensures inclusivity and does not violate religious freedoms.

Lie: The plan promotes equality and fairness.
Fact: Project 2025 undermines protections and promotes policies that discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals and other marginalized groups.

Lie:”Transgender people are an “ideology” and their existence is linked to pornography and the “sexualization of children.”
Fact: Trans people are people, not an ideology. There is no factual evidence that transgender identities are inherently connected to pornography or the sexualization of children.

Lie: “Children suffer the toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag queens and pornography invading their school libraries.” *(p1)
Fact: There is no such thing as transgenderism. Medical and psychological experts recognize that gender identity is a natural aspect of human diversity, not an ideological choice or belief system. Drag Queen Story Hours are events where drag performers read age-appropriate books to children, incorporating themes of acceptance, diversity, and self-expression. They do not involve any pornographic content or explicit sexual material. There is no evidence of “pornography invading school libraries.” Libraries have strict policies and procedures in place to ensure that materials in their children’s sections are age-appropriate and do not contain pornographic content. *(Being transgender is equivalent to pornography. "Therefore if you (librarians) distribute anything with transgender (or LGBT info) you should be imprisoned." - p5)

​

Lie: "Biological realities that are crucial to the advancement of life sciences and medical care and that married men and women are the ideal, natural family structure because all children have a right to be raised by the men and women who conceived them." *(p489)

Fact: Research consistently shows that the well-being of children is not determined by the gender or marital status of their parents, but rather by the presence of supportive, loving, and stable caregivers. The American Academy of Pediatrics, among other leading medical organizations, has found that children raised in same-sex or single-parent households fare just as well as those raised by married heterosexual couples. Furthermore, the concept of an "ideal" family structure fails to recognize the diversity of family forms that have existed throughout history and across cultures, and it ignores the realities of adoption, surrogacy, and other family-building methods that provide loving homes for children who might otherwise be without parents.
