Several state and local institutions promote an extreme transgender ideology and enforce it on our children and families. We’ve documented them in one place so you can share with your legislator and ask them to address this in the 2025 legislative session.
1. Legislature, Governor, CIAC: Forcing Girls to Lose in Sports Against Cheating Boys
The Connecticut legislature and Governor have done nothing to stop the CIAC from interpreting state law to force girls to play and lose to boys in girls sports. Here are the CT girls who lost to boys in 2024 and ask our legislators to protect the girls of Track & Field in 2025.
2. CSDE, CSBOE, CABE, Local School Boards and more: CT Schools are Adopting Policies to Deceive Parents About the Transitioning of their Children
In 2017 and 2024 the CT State Department of Education issued “Guidance on Civil Rights Protections and Supports for Transgender or Gender-Diverse Students” and “Frequently Asked Questions”. In these materials the State recommends hiding a child’s gender dysphoria and social transition from the parents. The Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) 2013 “Guidance for School Boards 5145.53(b)” sums up the instructions: “School personnel should not disclose information that may reveal a student’s transgender status or gender non-conforming presentation to others, including parents and other school personnel, unless legally required to do so or unless the student has authorized such disclosure.”
3. Legislature, Administrative Agencies/Governor, Schools: CT Legislators Have Not Reversed a Law Requiring Tampon/Napkin Dispensers in 8-year-old Boys’ Bathrooms
Tampon dispensers in the boys’ rooms of Connecticut schools is just the tip of the iceberg in this reality-denying madness.
4. Attorney General Tong: CT Attorney General uses his Office to pursue a Mom who was Deceived by her Children’s Schools.
Our Connecticut Attorney General Tong has demanded in a lawsuit brief that a Connecticut mom defer to school officials and her children must be socially transitioned against her and their father’s will, and even without their knowledge.
5. DCF: If you disagree with “affirmation”, the Department of Children and Families is ready to intervene.
Gender transition is started and reinforced against your will and at the peril of your children. Do you dare object? Because another state agency, the Connecticut Department of Children and Families is ready to begin the process of removing children from “unsupportive” homes by creating a record and intervening if necessary. It had a Hotline (since removed) for your child to call if you refuse to affirm their new gender identity. Children removed and placed in the custody of the State of Connecticut are enrolled in HUSKY and then things get worse.

6. CT Comptroller proposes state funding of surrogates for voluntary eunuchs and hiding “affirmation” from parents.
Our CT Comptroller is using the power of his office to support bills HB6617 (2023) and HB5378 (2024). HB6617 would have provided surrogates for the single men who want to breastfeed, those men who remove their genitalia to pursue non-binary or eunuch status. GLAD also supported these bills which would have forced the state can pay for freezing of sperm/egg for youth that lose their fertility due to “GAC”.

On Page 16 of the Comptroller’s 2024 Healthcare Cabinet Report, Scanlon makes legislative recommendations to “improve healthcare” by increasing “protection for patients and providers…in their care for LGBTQIA+ patients and youth,” emphasis added. This includes “granting legal immunity to healthcare providers from other states seeking to penalize or restrict their practice based on their provision of LGBTQIA+ affirming services. This will help ensure that providers can offer inclusive care without fear of legal repercussions outside their jurisdiction.”
The next paragraph, the Report makes clear that the intent is to undermine the relationship between parents and their confused children – clarifying that the immunity from prosecution language “would extend to school-based health centers as well. The importance of this is to ensure that there is a requirement of privacy and confidentiality for youth where their parents are not affirming.”
7. CT Department of Education promotes children as young as 8 to be taught that they can be born in the wrong body, teach 10 year olds to how to have sex, use puberty blockers, and more.

Our institutions are targeting our children and families. What can we do?
FIC is working hard to support legislation in 2025 that will create a discussion of gender extremism in CT and if enough legislators join together, we can start to change some of these rules and laws. But we need you to contact your legislator as we head into the session. The Christmas Season is a great time to reach out! Contact your legislator today using our Action Center or find out who your legislator is and contact them directly. They want to hear from you!
Tell them about the extremism in our state and how we need them to be the voice of the people. The voice of Common Sense!
The Family Institute of Connecticut (FIC) is composed of three distinct organizations. FIC Action is an 501(c)(4) social welfare organization which undertakes lobbying in defense of marriage and the family. FIC Action Committee is a registered state political action committee that was created in 2004 to help support pro-family candidates to CT state government. Family Institute of Connecticut is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit educational organization founded in 1989 to focus on marriage strengthening projects, educational efforts, and research.
