A mother in Florida who was selected by President Donald Trump during his speech to the joint congress for pronouncing children who switch their gender was hit online by filthy abuse online.
January Littlejohn was invited to attend the joint address by First Lady Melania Trump to represent what the government calls the 'disaster' that has been created among its predecessor, according to the Tallahassee -Democrat.
During the president's speech, Trump told how little John and her husband discovered that their daughter's school had secretly transferred their 13-year-old little girl, teachers and administration together to cheat on January and her husband, while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns … All without telling January. '
He called her a “courageous advocate against this form of child abuse.”
But after Trump's comments, Littlejohn received some recoil with some who questioned her story.
“So if January Littlejohn is such a hair for 'protecting' her child, why is her child not there with her?” Podcaster Stephen Ruderman wondered.
Brandon Wolf, the National Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, also called her story 'A Lie'.
“January Littlejohn's” My Kid was transed “story is a lie,” he wrote. “And the entire Republican Party was performed with it.”

Another X user called Littlejohn a “malignant person and a terrible mother,” while a fourth wrote: “There is no way in which January Littlejohn is a real name … or if this story is true haha.”
Littlejohn sued her daughter's school in 2021 and claimed that teachers launched a 'transgender support plan' for her daughter without asking for the consent of the parents.
She said that her daughter had a group of friends who were 'obsessed' with something that had to do with the LGBTQ community, and said that when three of them started to identify themselves as transgender or non-binary her daughter, told her that she was also confused about her sex.
The girl had started discussing medical interventions such as puberty blockers and top operations (having her breasts removed) with a case that shocked her parents.
Littlejohn claimed that she and her husband brought their daughter to a counselor to help her, by helping her confusion and started researching to better understand the subject.
In the meantime, they told the teacher of their daughter at the Deerlake Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida about the situation and inquired that she and her husband did not confirm the new preferred name and pronoun of their daughter while working because of her feelings.
Littlejohn also told the teacher at the time that they did not feel that the transition from their daughter was in her interest, but said she was good to hire her daughter as nickname at school.
But weeks later, Littlejohn said that she had spoken with her daughter's officials of the Leon County School Board about changing her name and which bathroom she wanted to use.

Aghast because of the discussion that the school had had with her daughter without parental permission, Littlejohn immediately called them and asked them about it.
She was told by the school conductor and vice-director that they could not reveal what had been discussed in the meeting, and that Littlejohn's daughter allowed her parents to be aware of or present for future discussions.
After a few weeks back and forth with the school district, the director finally showed her a 'transgender non-compliant student support plan' that the school had filled in with her daughter.
“This was a six -page document that she completed the Guidance Council with the Vice director and a social worker that I had never met,” she first claimed in an interview about Fox & Friends.
'They asked her questions that would have absolutely influenced her safety, such as which bathroom she would rather use and which sex she preferred to room with Field Trips at night. '
The document also asked for the student's preferred names, pronouns, sports teams and changing rooms, and whether or not they wanted their parents to be informed of their transition, she claimed.
“The plan also stated to use her birth name when they speak to us to mislead the social transition that had occurred,” said Littlejohn.
Littlejohn and her husband have sued the school for violating their parental rights at the end of 2021.
Littlejon said that her daughter had a group of friends who were 'obsessed' with something that had to do with the LGBTQ community and said that when three of them began to identify themselves as transgender or non-binary, her daughter told her she was also confused about her gender
The case received national attention when the Governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, banishes his so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill to the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the classrooms of the primary school.
On the day he signed the document – intended to curb the involvement of Florida schools in the sexual education of students – he said it was to protect parents like Littlejohn.
The worried mother and her husband finally decided to remove their daughter at the end of the eighth grade of the school, limiting her internet use while concentrating on rebuilding their relationship.
Over time, the couple said that they helped their daughter to make contact again with her daughter and get her self -confidence back.
“It took us a lot of time to restore that relationship and rebuild that trust,” Littlejohn said last year.
The girl is now flourishing like a secondary school senior, but mourning the years of what her mother calls an ideology that has stolen two and a half years of her life, while she should have been carefree and experienced normal teenage activities.
“Instead, she was miserable, she was depressed, she was anxious, she was hyper -oriented on something she could never be.”
Littlejohn and her husband told the teacher of their daughter at the Deerlake Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida about the situation and informed her that she and her husband did not confirm the new preferred name and pronoun of their daughter while they worked through her feelings as they worked through her feelings
But the case of the Littlejohns was eventually rejected by a federal court in 2023, who ruled that the claims of the court case did not meet the high standard required by federal case law.
“I personally met the parents before this lawsuit was filed and before the approval of the parental law of rights and felt that we had reached an amicable resolution,” said the chief inspector of Leon County, Rocky Hanna, at the time.
“Unfortunately, this unnecessary lawsuit has now cost our school district – and ultimately taxpayers – thousands of dollars that would otherwise have gone to support the training of our children.”
Littlejohn now works with the organization, does no harm, who argues for identity policy in health care, and is often affiliated with mothers for Liberty.
