Kevin Sorbo denies his children’s book has an anti-transgender message

Link to the post X (formerly Twitter)Sorbo argued that it was “another example of the left doing anything to get clicks while simultaneously bashing Christian conservatives.” He went on to suggest that the blog’s argument should be: “Books that aren’t LGBTQ+ Characters included are automatically ‘anti-LGBTQ’.”

He argued that the blogger who made the claim “has no idea what he’s talking about” and that his post is “ongoing.” [the] Narrative that most journalists are a joke.

Jervis’ original article referenced an interview with the Hercules: The Legendary Voyages actor admitted The Christian Post posted on Monday to promote his book. Which caught the attention of the blogger who posted something on his website Joe.My.God.was that Sorbo noted at the end of his book that it contains biblical passages about the gender roles that God intended for men and women.

“All the craziness that’s happening with what we’re doing to kids in public schools now, you know, we need to let kids be kids and just let them grow up,” Sorbo told the outlet. The actor said it was dangerous to teach children that men and women could swap genders at will, the article said.

Sorbo also said in the interview that his book is about “letting boys become boys so that when they grow up they will hopefully become men and strong men, strong providers for families.”

“The danger is to make them the same,” Sorbo said of children. “We are not the same. It’s like these transgender people compete against women in sports competitions and boxing matches today. To me that’s just crazy.”

That these sentiments were expressed in this interview, along with the statement about Scripture at the end of Sorbo’s book, led Jervis to believe that “the book is intended, among other things, to teach children that it is inherently wrong and sinful “Being transgender.”

“As anyone familiar with his Twitter posts will guess, his book appears to be just another in a series of recent anti-LGBTQ children’s books…aimed at teaching children that simply being transgender is sinful and wrong to be,” Jervis said TheWrap in a statement.

“He may frame it in terms of masculinity and biblical gender roles, but the ultimate message – as noted in the scriptural quotations accompanying the conclusion – seems clear.”

This seems to be what the opening lines of the Christian Post article refer to, saying that the book was written “to expose the dangers of the ‘woke’ ideology and its agenda that pushes the boundaries of God’s creation and what it means being male and female, blurring.”

At the same time, Sorbo emphasized that he has no problem with the LGBTQ community becoming transgender as adults. “I’m not denigrating this world,” he argued, saying that no LGBTQ person in Hollywood would ever say of him: “He was so terrible to me.”

“I’m a live-and-let-live kind of guy,” Sorbo claimed. “You want to do this to yourself, fine. Be mature enough to do it. Look at it.” [Caitlyn] Jenner. He waited until he was 60 to become Caitlyn Jenner. I think at 60 you can pretty much figure out what you want to do.”

“But sitting there and trying to tell kids in third grade, at six years old, ‘Let’s change your gender.’ “You know what, that’s just crazy to me,” Sorbo continued. “Let them find their way when they grow up and are old enough to do so.”

In the interview, he makes several additional claims about the “emasculation of men,” which he attributes in part to the rise of feminism in the 1960s and the way Hollywood portrays masculinity, as well as the “indoctrination camps” that exist today there are public schools.

Returning to his book, Sorbo said: “People have to start fighting back. The title of my book came from the idea that I need to wake up the lions. I’m tired of the lions in the background being cowards and afraid to speak louder.”
