Africa rejects America's Gender Ideology & Sexuality 'Wokeness'

Africa has been receiving unnecessary pressure from the West to embrace homosexuality and transgender issues. International donor funding has been flowing to these countries to exert their influence especially on LGBTQ issues.
US President Joe Biden issued a memorandum in 2021, directing US agencies engaged abroad to promote and protect LGBTQI+ human rights across their work globally.
Additionally, The US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield promised to keep working to promote homosexual and transgender issues in a UN resolution about democracy sponsored by the US.
Africans have made it clear that they are not ready to embrace this gender ideology and sexual wokeness just yet. Afribundance researchers found that 96% of Africans (that we interviewed or surveyed) do not support homosexuality or the transgender ideology.
The main areas of concern were on ‘Gender-Affirming Surgery/Care’ and the Comprehensive Sexuality Education proposed by international donors/funders.
For Decades, the West repeatedly scorned and admonished African communities for their traditional generational practice of female circumcision by declaring it as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Notably, the language changes when girls in the West choose to undergo intense ‘bottom’(genital) surgeries. It is now referred to as gender-affirming surgery/care and not mutilation.
African communities received harsh backlash for continuing their traditions and culture on female circumcision calling them ‘barbaric and primitive practices’. Consequently, the World Health Assembly passed resolution WHA61.16 on the elimination of FGM in 2008.
Let’s expose this Western hypocrisy here. Why the change in tone and terminology advocating for transgender surgeries? Calling them bottom surgeries not genital mutilation or gender affirming care. This is also mutilation.
It is hypocritical at best, to convince Africans and their elders that it is wrong to have their girls circumcised to ‘prepare’ them for womanhood and marriage, but it is very okay to have the girls undergo surgeries to ‘become’ a man!
In April 2023, Kenya introduced a Family Protection Bill similar to the one proposed by Ghana on Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill in July 2021.
The Family Protection Bill in Kenya protects the understanding of gender and the stamping out of ‘promoters and funders of LGBTQ activities to prevent the spread of this destructive ideology’. The Bill recognizes sex as male or female that is observed and assigned at birth, not the identity that one freely chooses or assigns to themselves.
Kenya’s bill is against the Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) teaching of abortion, homosexuality, LGBTQ issues, abortion and masturbation of children should be banned. They are seeking to ban the controversial CSE in schools to prevent grooming of young children and protect them from being exposed to inappropriate and immoral content.
In 2021, the World Health Assembly resoundingly rejected CSE. African countries have rejected the introduction of CSE in their schools. President Akufo-Addo of Ghana stated that he will not approve he controversial CSE programme for schools in Ghana to prevent promoting immorality.
Kenya’s first lady Rachel Ruto ‘declared war against homosexuality’ and claimed that LGBTQ is ‘forbidden in the Bible and the African culture’. The First lady called on Kenyans to uphold family values to defend the family unit, since the family institution (father, mother and children) has been under attack.
