You’re Right About Trans Propaganda in Kid’s Media—But You’re Missing the Bigger Trap
Parenting from cognitive freedom
We talk a lot about how kids are being conditioned. But do we ever stop to ask how we’re being conditioned too?
I thought I understood this—until one day, I caught myself reacting in real-time.
I’ve spent years studying gender ideology and its influence on children—how narratives shape perception, how media and education work together to push ideas into young minds.
My fascination with warfare led me to delve deep into how psychological operations are being embedded into our institutions and culture, and the way ideological subversion can be gradually implemented and take on a life of its own.
I have studied the local curricula in Toronto schools (see my short film Canada’s Red Shadow) to understand precisely how they are priming kids to view gender norms as oppressive, binary categories as outdated, and identity as fluid. I’ve seen how entertainment reinforces these messages, layering them into storylines so kids absorb them before they even know what they’re absorbing.
So one day, I’m sitting with my kids and Gonzo from Muppet Babies comes on screen.
He’s in a dress. He “comes out” as trans.
And for a split second, I feel it.
That rumbling concern. The alarm we all feel inside, after having seen endless streams of videos on gender ideology online.
The moment of certainty:
“I know EXACTLY what this is. I’ve researched inside and out.”
But then I look at my kids.
They Weren’t Fazed.
In fact, they were engaged with a completely different part of the storyline.
It didn’t exist for them. Not in the way I know it was meant to.
Whatever meeting that occurred in the writers room for the Muppet Babies that was focused on “teaching kids about oppressive gender norms,” fell flat.
That’s when it hit me.
Conditioning Requires a Framework
The reason my kids didn’t react isn’t because they’re special. It’s because they were never primed.
They have never been inside of a public school classroom, no day after day repetition—“Gender norms are oppressive!”
They weren’t being exposed to emotional messaging about boys wearing dresses as something to be celebrated or that celebrating it is revolutionary.
They had not been trained to look for a political message in a kids’ show.
So when that moment came, and Gonzo’s reveal in the dress arrived on the screen… it had no foundation to land on.
Why did it pass right through them, unnoticed?
But I Almost Reacted
Not because of what was on the screen—But because I had been conditioned by the internet outrage machine.
For years, I’ve been studying the war on innocence, seeing how it plays out in schools, entertainment, and culture.
I’ve watched the discourse, engaged with the debates, tracked the history and patters of ideological capture. I even made a feature-length documentary on it!
But, my own conditioning was the issue here. I had almost responded—not to what was happening in front of me, but to the online war I had internalized.
This is When I Truly Understood Conditioning
It’s not just kids who are being shaped by narratives.
It’s not just students being primed to think a certain way.
It’s us.
The truth is, modern parenting requires navigating an information war, and being saturated by that information war has consequences.
Why? Because we are vulnerable creatures who cannot get past the fact that we are constantly being conditioned.
Yes, children are more vulnerable to this, but adults who cannot see this vulnerability in themselves are a completely different factor.
We are being trained:
To react.
To engage.
To feel outrage.
To stay locked in a perpetual loop of response.
The deeper truth here? If we can’t see our own conditioning, how can we protect our kids from it?
Reclaiming Awareness is the First Step
Conditioning isn’t just something that happens to “other people.”
It’s happening to you, right now.
Every time you scroll.
Every time you react.
Every time you accept a pre-framed narrative without questioning where it came from.
That’s why I created Internal Kung Fu for Parents—because reclaiming your awareness is the only way to defend your family from cognitive warfare.
These are the first steps to creating a legacy of free thought in your family.
I have taken over a decade of practicing and teaching ancient Taoist techniques for internal alchemy and modernized them for everyday life. This workshop is the refinement of techniques I have personally verified support cognitive freedom, as we navigate the madness of modern parenting.
Make no mistake, parenting today is unavoidably unfolding within a cognitive battlefield, for both the kids and the parents.
It’s wild out there. If you don’t take control of your perception, someone else will.
Awareness is the battlefield—train accordingly.
