A school district in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> heavily pushing radical gender theory advertised a talk to students about &#8220;transgender young people&#8221; that did not require them to be accompanied by parents.
Davis Parent University, a volunteer group in partnership with California’s Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD), hosted a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhSLCdz-nTM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lecture</a> last week with Rachel Pepper, a child sex change-affirming therapist and author of “The Transgender Child: A Handbook For Parents And Professionals.&#8221; Students aged 12 and up were invited by the school district to attend with any adult aged 18 and up.
&#8220;Do not ever think that withholding care or telling a teen to wait until they are 18 and of age to move forward are suitable options,&#8221; said Pepper in a clip from the event that surfaced online on Wednesday.

Rachel Pepper, author of &quot;The Transgender Child,&quot; says you should &quot;not ever think that withholding care or telling a teen to wait until they&#39;re 18 [before transitioning] are suitable options.&quot;
Hesitant parents must ask if they &quot;would prefer a suffering child or even a dead one.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/UpveUW0QAi">pic.twitter.com/UpveUW0QAi</a>

&#8220;If you find that you are resistant to providing congruence options for your teen — and the clock is ticking — keep coming back to love and ask yourself if you would prefer a suffering child — or even a dead one — to a child who could receive gender-affirming care,&#8221; said Pepper, relying on a debunked <a href="https://www.realityslaststand.com/p/pediatric-gender-medicine-and-the">affirm-or-suicide</a> narrative frequently used to emotionally blackmail parents into letting their children obtain puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-related surgeries.
During a Q&amp;A segment, Pepper was asked what to do about extended family members who are &#8220;skeptical&#8221; of a &#8220;very young trans kiddo, age four.&#8221;
&#8220;Sometimes families have to make hard decisions because there may be people in extended families who are toxic and who are not safe people for those children to be around,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/SwipeWright/status/1615832621199630354?s=20&amp;t=vK73TSqQopv0bAB6Zf_hmA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replied</a> Pepper.
When asked what the statistics were for youth who identified as transgender and nonbinary, Pepper <a href="https://twitter.com/SwipeWright/status/1615826491480186906?s=20&amp;t=vK73TSqQopv0bAB6Zf_hmA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed </a>that &#8220;recent studies of high schoolers&#8221; have shown that &#8220;15 to 19% of youth identify somewhere on the spectrum of non-binary, gender diverse, [or] transgender.&#8221;
DJUSD students have been <a href="https://www.libsoftiktok.com/p/revealed-california-school-district?utm_source=profile&amp;utm_medium=reader2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bombarded</a> with instruction on &#8220;gender identity&#8221; and sexuality in recent years, resulting in a concomitant boom in trans-identification. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-least-6-of-students-identify-as-transgender-at-one-california-school-district-data-analysis-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An average of 6% of surveyed DJUSD students</a> identify as &#8220;nonbinary&#8221; or &#8220;neither male nor female,&#8221; according to a 2020-2021 school survey — which is 4.3 times the national average, and three times California’s average.
Advertisements for the lecture appeared on Davis Parent University social media posts and on a student portal where homework assignments were accessed. A mother of a ninth-grade student told The Daily Wire that flyers for the event were emailed directly to her son two weeks in a row. 
&#8220;My concerns are that the school counselors and administrators are promoting one way of dealing with gender dysphoria, and that is telling teens that they are a &#8216;trusted adult&#8217; and support &#8216;trans kids&#8217; and their transitions,&#8221; a Davis Unified parent, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Daily Wire.
Opposition to the event may have influenced the organizers&#8217; decision to host it virtually rather than in person, as originally intended. A group of protestors peacefully organized outside Davis Senior High School and the Susan B. Anthony administrative building in the rain on the afternoon of the event.
&#8220;We were raising awareness at the high school specifically because this talk was really marketed towards kids,&#8221; said Allie Snyder, a Davis Unified parent who attended the protest. &#8220;Even though the Davis Parent University organization said the event was for parents, it was directly promoted to children in the district. A bulletin about the event was sent to all the kids, starting in the seventh grade.&#8221;

 As many as 30 parents held signs that said, &#8220;gender ideology is anti-science,&#8221; &#8220;Democrats against experimenting on kids,&#8221; “transitioning is not suicide prevention,&#8221; and &#8220;stop telling gay boys they&#8217;re trans girls.&#8221;
The Davis Joint Unified School District did not respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment in time for publication.
