Several listeners were sending me a video that has now been removed from Facebook following a court order by a judge here in Montana. In the video, the Glasgow, Montana family talks about how they had their daughter taken from them by the state, and placed into care that started "transitioning" their daughter into another gender without their consent.

The mom, Krista Kolstad, joined us Monday morning on the radio to share her story.

Krista Kolstad: Our point is, if you're going to be transgender, and you do it as an adult- that is fine. But we're talking about a child who has problems, and you've allowed her to transition socially. They have not given her hormones or puberty blockers, but they allowed everything but. For instance, she's allowed to wear a chest binder, she's allowed to have men's clothes, change her name, change her pronouns...

Kolstad said the state child protective services removed their daughter from their home after she faked a suicide threat, and since that time the state has placed her in a program that isn't addressing the core challenges facing their daughter.

Krista Kolstad: Our stance is simply- she's a child. She's a child that has problems. Why are we not addressing the problems first and treating- why are you not looking at someone and saying, why are you so unhappy with your life that you want to change everything about you, including your sex? Why haven't we started there? Why we just jump to- okay, you can be a boy and everything's gonna be great.

 

Here's the full audio of our chat. We also welcome a response from the State Department of Health and Human Services.

A GiveSendGo fundraising page has been set up for the Kolstad family.

I mentioned that the Kolstad's video was ordered removed from Facebook. In the meantime, another user uploaded the video to Rumble. Here's the original video:
