The U.S. Department of Family Values has released alarming new findings that should have every parent on high alert. According to their research, the rising trend of vertical video on social media platforms is leading to a disturbing outcome – turning our children transgender.
God has designed our eyes to be horizontal, as it is the most natural and comfortable way for us to view the world. However, as more and more users consume media through their phones and tablets, the demand for vertical videos has increased. This may seem like a small change, but the Department’s research has shown that it has a significant impact on our children.
The constant consumption of vertical videos has led to a phenomenon known as “trans-eyed,” where children’s eyes begin to naturally adjust to the vertical orientation. This may seem harmless, but it is a dangerous path that can ultimately lead to gender confusion and potentially even a change in one’s God-given identity.
But the influence of social media doesn’t stop there. These platforms are also designed to continuously feed users through algorithms, leaving them in a passive state where they are bombarded with information without actively seeking it. This is turning men into weak, passive soyboys, instead of the strong, God-fearing leaders they should be.
But fear not, there is a solution. As Christians, we are called to be in the world, but not of the world (John 17:14-16). Instead of succumbing to the pressure of the current social media trends, let us turn to alternative platforms such as Truth Social and Parler, where we can have control over what we consume and can actively seek out content that aligns with our Christian values.
Let us also remember the words of Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” We must be vigilant in protecting our children’s hearts and minds from the devil’s influence through social media.
