After the FBI rescued Sage, the nightmare only continued for her and her mother. An assistant public defender from Maryland, Aneesa Khan, then got involved. Sage’s mother, Michele Blair, claims that Khan began a series of acts aimed at depriving her of custody because she would not affirm Sage as a “male” (and all of this is BEFORE the Equality Act).

Khan alleged that Michele was guilty of abuse and neglect simply because she failed to support Sage’s assertion of a male gender identity. An investigation found that the charges were unsubstantiated. “They just felt like they had the right to take over my parenting position,” Michele said.

While these unsubstantiated charges were being investigated at Khan’s insistence, Sage was placed in the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services with adolescent males where she was again exposed to drugs, sexually assaulted, and denied medical and mental health care.

With few options left, Sage ran away again ... with the same outcome.

Again, she was picked up by an adult male who drove her to Texas. There "she was again raped, drugged, starved, and tortured until law enforcement in Texas rescued her.” But this time, her mother was notified, and she helped bring her daughter safely home.

These two states — and these two outcomes — perfectly illustrate the dangers of HR 15. With Texas illustrating before the “Equality Act,” and Maryland, after. This bill will trap children like Sage in horrific, ongoing abuse.

This didn’t have to happen to Sage! It could have been avoided if the school had been honest with her mom. But there are legislators who are pushing the Equality Act, which would strengthen and entrench the very policies that led to, and continue, this horror.

If only a handful of Republicans break ranks and support HR 15, it will pass, and the consequences will be catastrophic! Rush your urgent faxes to Congress to keep Republicans from caving on HR 15.

While Sage’s story is heartbreaking, the pain she was running from is not unique. There used to be only two transgender clinics in the entire world. Now, in America alone, there are more than 100 such clinics. And because of the social contagion brought about by indoctrination, mutilating surgeries are up 4,000%.

In her book, Lost in Trans Nation: A Child Psychiatrist’s Guide Out of the Madness, Dr. Miriam Grossman writes:

Sex is not assigned at birth; it’s established at conception. Brains always match the bodies to which they are attached; we are not Legos or Mr. Potato Heads that might be improperly assembled. Sex is binary. Sex is permanent. Males cannot become females and females cannot become males.

God has woven into the very fabric of our being thousands and thousands of differences between men and women that scientists are only now discovering. But our society is willing to lie to these children, profit off their confusion, and discard them if their personal experiences don’t match this radical political agenda.

This must end now! HR 15 would be catastrophic. We must stop it.

We are providing critical information to muster opposition to the Equality Act on Capitol Hill. This work is vital to changing the minds of key legislators. I appreciate your prayers and your support.
