Some of it makes sense, some of it is frightening.
What do 8 and 9 mean, exactly? That children would be taken away from non nuclear families? That open shaming of non nuclear families would occur, and children's books where grandma is raising littles would be taken from school libraries? Does #9 advocate reinstating criminal penalties for gay couples, perhaps with prison time?

No. Just no. We won't go backwards.
#8 is a general positive view of the nuclear family, which is needed
#9 may be the absolute most important point of the whole thing - men are men and women are women
There are only 2 sexes, only 2 genders. Both have rights to their separate spaces. This has to be enshrined in law, no government should be compelled to lie on a birth certificate to say "unknown" or some made up nonsense, or to allow biological men to destroy female sports and ruin their athletic careers
Seems so simple but a lot of things have to change. It's going to be a rough road to take back what the liberals have instilled in the youth of America and get the US back on track. I hope enough people listen to his message !
You have to remember, though. This is the far-right we're talking about. They *DO* want to go backwards.
Conservatives *WANT* to go back to the 50s, when America was much more white, Christian, and heterosexual.
Today, in 2022, the United States is more racially diverse, less Christian, and less heterosexual than it's ever been....and the far-right is losing its collective mind because of it.
That's why far-right extremists like the idiot Rick Scott use catchy phrases like "they're trying to take our country from us" to frighten and gaslight less-informed conservatives.
This is a good plan but human nature as it is I wouldn't want the puritans to have unchecked power either. Nothing wrong with gay marriage or marijuana use or first trimester abortions as examples. We don't need more statists telling us what to do no matter what wing or ideology they come from. As long as people work and contribute, and in general behave well and obey laws, and we are heavy in checks and balances, it's all good.
Most of that is great stuff. Some of it needs to be tweaked a little. It’s not the job of government to dictate morality, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
I am surprised, I actually agree with most of that stuff even though it will be impossible to achieve without religion running this country which is totally wrong.

We need to return to reality
Sometimes babies are born of indeterminate gender. That's where that term "indeterminate gender" comes from.
Surely, in your life experience, you've noticed male/female attributes are variable. There are women who, through no attempt on their own, look like men. And men who are undeniably effeminate. Gender isn't perfectly black and white.
Additionally, the movement is going away from men participating as women in sports. That will sort itself out shortly. No further need on that, virtually everyone is in agreement that's not fair to women and steps will be taken to ensure men don't continue to sign up to compete in the women's category.
This piece he wrote is about enforcing his ideas. How do you enforce a preference for a nuclear family, is what I'm asking. That's what he's advocating. Enforcing his personal belief system on the rest of us.
So. What would enforcement of #8 look like?
