"Attempting to disown one's sexed reality is not a human right or a lifestyle choice...It is indoctrination, being spread over technology, and through our institutions..." -- Jennifer Bilek
The Christian County Library's September 2024 newsletter features some titles new to the library. Among them is the graphic novel anthology "Indiginerds." Geared to children ages 12-18, the collection of stories is described in the Coolcat online catalog as "First Nations culture is living, vibrant, and evolving, and generations of Indigenous kids have grown up with pop culture creeping inexorably into our lives. From gaming to social media, pirate radio to garage bands, Star Trek to D&D, and missed connections at the pow wow, Indigenous culture is so much more than how it's usually portrayed. INDIGNERDS is here to celebrate those stories!."
The classification genres Indiginerds include "Indigenous peoples, social life and customs, comic books, juvenile literature, popular culture, identity (psychology)," and more.

These kinds of books are being published by the hundreds every year and funneled into libraries, including the Christian County Library. In her book "Transsexual, Transgender, Transhuman," journalist Jennifer Bilek details this process. She writes:
"In less than a decade, the 'transgender human rights movement', replete with their own NGOs, has morphed from 'born in the wrong body' to 'gender identity disorder', to 'gender dysphoria', to 'gender incongruence', to 'gender identity', to 'gender expression', complete with lines of make-up, fashion and body scars."
She goes on:
"Should it be a surprise that there is now a contagion among young women wanting to have their healthy breasts amputated? Is is possible that they are absorbing the messages that promote dysphoria as progressive, cool, and edgy by media conglomerates selling this exact message?"

The media conglomerates publish and sell these books in order to spread the message that sex is on a spectrum that seems to have no end. New genders are being "discovered" every day. Whatever random thought comes into a 13-year-old kid's mind is to be capitalized upon by a billion-dollar gender industry of puberty blockers, surgeries, psychology, and more.
Bilek writes, "While the media inundates us with these messages...gender ideology activists and their NGOs supporting the construct of 'synthetic sex medical expressions' are depathologizing this monstrosity and attempting to sell the public the idea that sex exists on a spectrum, that human sexual dimorphism is a contruct..."
Finally, Bilek writes, "We must understand that this apparatus of the gender industry is being strategically driven by capital, technological developments, and the MIC [Medical Industrial Complex] through all our institutions, corporations, and governments. While we are all arguing about what identity means as it is overlaid with sex-role stereotypes, the elites are running away with human sex. They are violating the boundary between male and female, opening markets in which our essential humanity becomes a-sky-is-the-limit market to be mined."
Since there has been citizen involvement in the library regarding the many books that should not be placed in the children's or teen sections of the library, the Coolcat online catalog has gotten very cunning about how books are being described and marketed. It has become difficult to determine if a book is really just nerdy indigenous kids growing up, or characters in a billion dollar industry that operates with diabolical efficiency to affect children in communities everywhere.
