Maria Keffler cofounded Advocates Protecting Children, which fights against transgender policies. She’s the author of Desist, Detrans & Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult, (independently published, 2021). After attending a school meeting several years ago, she was shocked to learn that schools consider parents a threat and want to hide things from them, and/or “educate” them on transgenderism.

“I thought, ‘This is crazy,” she says. “‘This flies in the face of 20 different psychology concepts that I can think of off the top of my head, and yet the schools and counselors are still driving this even though it doesn’t make sense.”

So Keffler and two colleagues started Advocates Protecting Children in 2021 to provide resources and support for those dealing with the transgender issue, and especially to combat the prevalent misinformation that abounds.

“There is no such thing as a trans child. This is a cult,” Keffler says. “Cults do eight things, and transgenderism hits every single one of them.”

Listen as Maria explains how they do that, as well as the three things all parents should help their children avoid.
