This week in Bahrain the Navy told sailors that they talk to their children at age 12 about gender identity, sex, STD’s, pregnancy, etc. without notifying parents. When asked if "the Navy’s policy circumvents a parents right to know?" the @USNavy official answered "Yes". Insane.
@robbystarbuck - Robby Starbuck
This clip is one of the more infuriating parts of this. Navy Nurse Practitioner Nichole Benson seems to be saying that parents not being accepting of the trans agenda is the reason for suicides. This is the emotional manipulation used to get parents on board with transitions. She then admits that the @USNavy circumvents parental rights. This is beyond unacceptable. We demand answers and a policy change ASAP from the Navy. The government is actively engaged in grooming the children of our service members into Marxist ideologies.
@robbystarbuck - Robby Starbuck
I’m currently investigating if this policy is one that the @DeptofDefense forced on all branches of the military. If you’re in the Army, Marines, Space Force, Air Force or National Guard: Ask about the Navy policy to see if your branch has the same policy. DM me if you record it.
@robbystarbuck - Robby Starbuck
Nichole Benson almost called in for a mental health day after January 6th and wonders if her white peers will walk out without her examining their child due to what I assume is her racist perception of white people.

BREAKING: Three medical schools in North Carolina are now diagnosing toddlers who play with stereotypically opposite gender toys as having gender dysphoria, and are transitioning them. Yes, you read that correctly. If a 2 year old girl picks up a truck instead a Barbie, that is…

Radical gender theory is genuinely the most sexist, regressive and homophobic ideology in the western world. How dare anyone tell young children — TODDLERS — that if they’re a girl and like playing with trucks, or a boy and they like playing with Barbie’s, that they were born in the wrong body?!? LET KIDS BE KIDS 🤬‼️

@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
1) The World Health Organization and the United Nations have issued documents to all the nations of the world, instructing all schools worldwide to sexualize little children, as part of the agenda to normalize pedophilia. Thread-
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
2) The official statements are clear: they want the entire world to be transformed. Teaching 2 and 3 year olds to masturbate, and 9 year olds to use online pornography and have sex, is part of this agenda. The Biden administration has released statements supporting that.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
3) School posters are widely distributed that encourage children to engage in homosexual activities with their classmates, and books are recommended that tell kids all about oral sex. Children's books are promoted that tell stories about teachers having sex with their pupils.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
4) Schools are organizing sex games during which kids take the genitals of classmates in their mouth, or masturbate one another, as part of "comprehensive sexuality education" issued by the World health Organization and United Nations. The instruction given to teachers is that
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
5) all children should be encouraged to start with sex as soon as possible. Meanwhile judicial documents are issued worldwide to decriminalize sex between children and adults. The document Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe published by the World Health Organization
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
6) contains the following instructions for kindergartens and elementary schools: ✓ Children between 0 and 4 years must learn about masturbation and develop an interest in their own and others' bodies.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
7) ✓ Children between 4 and 6 years must learn about masturbation, and be encouraged to express their sexual needs and wishes. ✓ Children between 6 and 9 years must learn about sexual intercourse, online pornography, having a secret love and self-stimulation.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
8) ✓ Children between 9 and 12 years should have their first sexual experience, and learn to use online pornography. The following pages are from "Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe". Notice the age group in the top left corner.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
9) This video is part of a European school program that works closely with the WHO. It shows how little children are encouraged to start masturbating. This was spread to many thousands of schools, as part of the WHO "comprehensive sexuality education", which states that children
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
10) should start having sex as early as possible. The publisher of this video, the Rutgers Foundation, operates in 27 nations of the world and is a partner of the WHO. The plan is to implement this in curriculums worldwide.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
11) The next document is issued by the UN & is titled International Technical Guidance on Sexual Education. It is the official guideline for elementary schools around the world. The goal of this doc is described on page 16: it aims to equip children to have sexual relationships.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
12) On page 17 the United Nations explains that this guide is intended to help little children build relationships with romantic or sexual partners. On page 71 teachers are instructed to teach little kids from the age of 5 about kissing, hugging, touching and sexual behaviors.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
13) The logos on the United Nations International Technical Guidance on Sexual Education show that this is part of the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. United Nations Agenda 2030 is a plan to transform every aspect of human existence on the earth by the year 2030.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
14) They make it clear that the transformation of human life will reach the entire world: "As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge no one will be left behind. These are universal goals and targets which involve the entire world, developed & developing countries alike
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
15) The Biden administration has released statements that they will make sure this agenda is implemented throughout the USA as soon as possible, and no later than 2030.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
16) The Netherlands is at the heart of this worldwide agenda to sexualize little children. What happens there, will spread worldwide. This nation is the headquarters of a worldwide publisher of this "comprehensive sexuality education": the Rutgers Foundation.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
16) Rutgers operates in 27 nations and is funded by global organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Planned Parenthood. In the spring of 2023 a nationwide curriculum was launched with the name “Spring Fever”.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
17) A school poster was put up in thousands of elementary schools. I translated it to English, and added highlights to reveal the message of this school poster. Two boys hold hands and say, “Yes, we want it”. Two young girls find a “safe place” to have sex.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
18) The curriculum "Spring Fever" aggressively pushes the theme of homosexuality onto unsuspecting and vulnerable children. Below is a illustration from this school program for elementary schools. It is one thing if a person struggles with sexual identity, and is confused about
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
19) their preferences, but it is a whole different realm if sexual confusion is pushed into elementary schools, to drive children towards a homosexual lifestyle. Pushing little children towards homosexuality is directly instructed by the World Health Organization and UN.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
20) On page 40 of the “Standards for Sexuality Education” schools are told to teach four year olds about “same-sex relationships“ and on page 44 educators are instructed to teach nine year olds about “friendship and love towards people of the same sex”.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
21) One of the books recommended in elementary schools, is called "What is sex"? Here is a page, and a quote: "Blowjob is sex with the mouth. That is why it is called oral sex." "Have you ever given yourself a kiss on a soft spot of your body? Try it. How does that feel?"
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
22) "The skin of a dick or vagina is sensitive. Because of this, people sometimes like to touch each other there with their mouths. When someone suckles a dick, this is called sucking. Of course, a woman can do the same. If someone licks a vagina, this is called pussy eating."
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
23) Why would anyone want 4 to 8 year little children to know everything about oral sex? Here is another page from this school program for elementary schools. This is for 10 year old kids:
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
24) "Examples of things you can do with sex are (tongue) kissing, caressing, petting (licking the vagina), piping (licking/sucking the penis), fingering, jerking off, dick-in-vagina sex (vaginal sex) and dick-in-anus sex (anal sex)".
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
25) When we have a deeper look into the program, we see a clear definition of the objective of the lessons: "Little children should know all about lust, physical excitement, and being intimate. They should know that everyone has sexual feelings and they should not be ashamed."
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
26) Being ashamed is a basic natural feeling that all children have, which protects them from being harmed through inappropriate experiences. Sexuality is the most sensitive, and vulnerable part of our humanity, which can traumatize us for life, if it is wrongly approached.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
27) Shame is an essential defense barrier to keep us safe. These programs aim to remove this natural barrier, so children will no longer listen to their instinct that tells them to protect their body. This makes them extremely vulnerable, and an easy prey for sexual predators.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
28) The following is an example of an official school curriculum in The Netherlands, published by the School Curriculum Education (School Leerplan Onderwijs) official publisher of all school curriculums. We can see that it is similar to the WHO Standards:
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
29) ✓ Toddlers in the age group of 0-4 must learn about falling in love, intimacy and sexual feelings. ✓ Little kids from the age of 5 should learn about sexual intercourse, online pornography and experiencing lust through touching their own body.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
30) Rutgers published a guide to train teachers how to indoctrinate little children about sex. In it they make several references to the WHO guide "Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe", further confirming how they are collaborating with the World Health Organization.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
31) A staff member of Rutgers contributed to the WHO guide. In this document Rutgers makes a clear statement what the purpose is of this type of education (see document below): "Sexual & relationship education gives children ideas that will help them to start with sex sooner."
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
32) The whole idea of this type of sexuality education is not to assist children during their natural development, towards a healthy and mature sexuality, but the goal is to indoctrinate them to start with sex as soon as possible.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
33) Several schools have been organizing sex games, where kids take the genitals of their class mates in their mouth, lick them, put their fingers in the vagina of girls, and so on. Below is a news report about sex games at an elementary school in The Netherlands.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
34) The sexualization of little children is also happening outside of the schools. These are images of children's playgrounds which were approved by local governments and schools.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
35) It also happens on a global corporate level, as with these mugs from MacDonalds in Japan, that - when turned in a certain angle - show children engaged in sexual acts.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
36) The execution of the WHO and UN guidelines in The Netherlands is done by Rutgers, an international organization active in 27 nations. The following information reveals how Rutgers has always been at the forefront of the pedophilia movement worldwide.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
37) Jan Rutgers (1850-1924) was a fierce opponent of marriage which he considered unnatural. He als passionately promoted the reduction of the human population, by pushing a culture of free sex into society. When Rutgers Foundation was founded in 1969, the main purpose was to
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
38) reduce population growth through sexual education, abortion & contraception. In 1999 Rutgers fused with the NISSO-group (Netherlands Institute for Social Sexological Research) whose goal was also to reduce birth rates by encouraging abortion, free sex, and sex education.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
39) In 2011 Rutgers fused again with the World Population Foundation who had the same mission of reducing the world population through abortion and sex education. Rutgers has always been heavily involved in the worldwide movement to normalize pedophilia. In 1946 the Netherlands
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
40) Association for Sexual Reform (NVSH) was founded, with once again the objective of reducing the human population. NVSH organized working groups on pedophilia that were supported by Labour Party Senator Dr. Edward Brongersma.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
41) This same Brongersma became the foreman of the pedophilia acceptance movement in the 1970s. Brongersma was known for abusing underaged sex slaves. In the 1960s Brongersma became a board member of the NVSH, where he again organized pedophilia working groups.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
42) They published the magazine NIKS (Dutch abbreviation of Towards Integration of Child Sexuality). In an online archive of this magazine, we can see the sickening profanity promoted: naked children on the cover exposing their genitals, children having sex, and so on.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
43) Another edition of the pedophilia magazine of Brongersma is titled the "anti-education episode" and contains an article that explains how "evil" the natural family is. The article is titled: "How do I kill my father and mother?" I quote:
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
44) "In the family, love is impossible. Parental love is a lie... The family limits, sours, mocks, discourages, mistreats, crumples..." The pedophilia magazine NIKS featured prominent international pedophiles like Theo Sandfort who wrote for several well known pedophilia
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
45) publications, like Paedo Alert News, and the British Paidika. In 1999 Rutgers published a report from this pedophile Sandfort. In the year 2000 another pedophile organization made headlines, for building an archive of child pornography.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
46) The founder, Frits Bernard, was an avid pedophile. Their articles of incorporation state that they collaborate with Rutgers. On June 22, 1979 Rutgers signed a petition, along with criminally convicted child molester Brongersma, for the legalizing of sex with children.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
47) The current chairman of the Supervisory Board of Rutgers is Andrée van Es, former politician of Green Left, and PSP, a party that also lobbied for the legalization of pedophilia. Former director of Rutgers, Pieter Wijnsma, stated in an interview that he had encouraged a
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
48) group of children to masturbate, because “the aspect of lust had to be developed”. De organization of pedophile Brongersma was succeeded by Fund for Scientific Research on Sexuality (FWOS). They state that Rutgers manages the vast child pornography collection of Brongersma.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
49) The International Planned Parenthood Foundation (an abortion organization founded by the father of Bill Gates) published a full blown pedophilia manifesto titled EXCLAIM! which was distributed within the United Nations.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
50) It repeatedly makes explicit statements typically used by pedophiles and child predators. It is literally filled with the hard core typical arguments used by pedophiles, claiming that babies, toddlers, children and teens have the "human right" to have sex.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
51) The pedophile practices of high ranking officials from the WHO and UN is usually carefully covered up, but once in a while one of them gets caught. This happened to Peter Dalglish, a senior official who held high positions within the United Nations, UNICEF and the
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
52) World Health Organization for over 30 years, and was founder of Street Kids International. He was awarded the Order of Canada for his outstanding humanitarian work. In 2015 he was the UN's 'country representative' in Kabul.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
53) In 2018 Dalglish was caught redhanded, while abusing two underaged boys in Nepal, and was sentenced to nine years in prison. Dalglish lured children away from their parents with offers to educate them, take them abroad and provide them with jobs.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
54) Detectives say he abused children over a period of 15 years, while he was a senior official at the UN and WHO.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
55) The main entities pushing this pedophilia agenda worldwide are the World Health Organization and the United Nations. We must however remember that these are not governmental, but private organizations, owned by financial elites.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
56) As a private organization they have no authority over anybody whatsoever. Yet, they operate as a One World Government, controlling the worldwide health and educational system. The WHO does not serve the interest of humanity, but serves criminal agendas for concealed entities.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
57) The WHO suppressed cures for covid, and ordered social media companies to censor scientists and physicians who talked about effective treatments. They are the ones who told the world that only an experimental injection is the answer for the pandemic, which has resulted in
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
58) millions of deaths and thousands of people being permanently disabled as a result of these inoculations. The agenda to suppress every working treatment for covid, and tell the world that only an untested experimental injection will save us, was pushed by multi-billionaire
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
59) and public mouth piece for the financial elites, Bill Gates. He is the world’s #1 vaccine dealer, who made astronomical amounts of money from this worldwide inoculation plot.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
60) When we understand that Gates is the main donor of the WHO, we also know that he has full authority over their policies. Bill Gates is known for his close relations with Jeffrey Epstein, who hosted sex parties with children for the elites on his notorious Epstein Island.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
61) He was arrested in 2018 under the Trump administration, and reportedly hung himself in his prison cell. The name of Bill Gates appears several times on the flight logs to Epstein Island.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
62) Why do governments and financial elites insist on sexualizing little children in every nation of the world? The answer is given in all our evidence that details how most of the elites all have one thing in common: they are heavily involved in organized abuse of children.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
63) This is confirmed by former FBI director Ted Gunderson, as well as former members of the military, marechaussee, gendarmerie, police and detectives. The danger with these organizations is that they have mastered the skill to hypnotize humanity with their word plays,
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
64) that make grooming little children for pedophile predators sound like a wonderful thing, that we must support wholeheartedly. They are word wizards that put spells on the mind of people, who lack the sharpness of spirit to discern this trickery.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
65) That's why so many unsuspecting people go along with it. We all have the choice to close our eyes, and become complicit through our silence, or be brave people who stand up, and expose this to humanity.
@austerrewyatt1 - Wyatt
66) The children cannot defend themselves against these monsters. If we don't fight for them, nobody will, and this cruel horror wil only increase worldwide. #MAGA The end.

This Is HORRIFYING CALIFORNIA “In the last 24 hours, the California legislature has passed not one, not two, but four bills that are designed to remove children from their homes and into government systems where adults can have private conversations with them. And everyone, and I mean everyone from the school bus driver to the cafeteria lady will have knowledge about that child's gender confusion, about their stress or anxiety, their depression, except parents. The children are out. There is no more privacy. This is not an outing policy. This is a parental notification policy. At the same time, we have the Attorney General Rob Bonta waging an unsubstantiated war, a lawsuit against Chino Valley Unified School District that will fail. The TRO that was issued just the other day is simply that.

This is the most disturbing video you will see all day. Director of education for HiTops, an LGBTQ+ nonprofit focused on bringing queer theory and gender ideology into schools, says that the most critical time to get in the classroom are grades 5-8, to “catch kids when they’re starting puberty.” She goes onto say the the most rewarding experience for her was after going into an elementary school, 5 of students went to the principal’s office and “came out.” This is simply demonic.

@Malcolm_XY_ - S.C
For all progressives inclined to look down upon conservatives, it's important to recognize that gender identity ideologies are ancient prehistoric ideologies, originating from the Babylonian Talmud written by Babylonian sages. The current emphasis on gender identity, which is relentlessly promoted in the mainstream is supported by pseudoscience. Those advocating these ideas are the same individuals pushing to redefine the traditional family structure and remove parental authority while giving the state more control over your children. If your child wants to be a pirate, would you remove an eye and a limb to fulfill your child's desire? A child is not emancipated enough to receive Tylenol from the pediatrician, but suddenly that same child has enough insight to make life-changing decisions about body alterations? What sort of evil is this? In the storm of ever-evolving human emotions, why assign permanency to a certain emotion? Ask those who have been encouraged by the system to undertake irreversible body-altering surgeries, only to look back in regret years later. The blame lies on the society as a whole which propagated such evil to those young souls who did not have the capacity to know better. Nefarious forces are at play, molding the reality. Children are increasingly exposed to such confusion from a young age without parental consent, which hinders their mental growth. This manipulation of reality leads astray from innate nature. These efforts towards "modernity" are well-planned efforts toward reshaping future generations. That being said, there is a very small percentage of the population that may have birth defects, genetic anomalies such as Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome, etc, hormonal anomalies related to Adrenal Hyperplasias, etc, or psychological conditions such as gender dysphoria, Body dysmorphic disorder, etc. All of these warrant either medical or psychological treatment. Those lacking such pathologies should not be raised thinking that they do. This prehistoric non-scientific ideology from the Babylonian Talmud written by sages does not belong in the scientific world. Those controlling the mainstream are forcing humanity back into the dark ages under the guise of "progression".
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Chaya Raichik asked how many genders there are: "There's zero genders. There's two sexes. Male and female." Based. Raichik then stuns the rabid leftists in the crowd by educating the class on the creator of 'Gender Identity' John Money: "Gender identity was made up by a pedophile named John Money. He did these horrific experiments on these twin boys. He made them do sexual stuff with each other. His experiment resulted in both of them committing suicide. But that didn't stop the radical gender ideologues from taking his failed experiment and instituting it into the mainstream, and into every single aspect of our culture." Chaya then notes that the University of Indiana - where she is speaking - has a 'John Money collection' that houses John Money's lifelong work. Raichik went into enemy territory, as they're cackling like hyenas at her, and this answer stunned them into silence. A masterclass of how to handle the woke mob.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
"According to John Colapinto's biography of David Reimer, starting when Reimer and his twin Brian were six years old, Money showed the brothers pornography and forced the two to rehearse sexual acts. Money would order David to get down on all fours and Brian was forced to "come up behind [him] and place his crotch against [his] buttocks". Money also forced Reimer, in another sexual position, to have his "legs spread" with Brian on top. On "at least one occasion" Money took a photograph of the two children performing these acts."

John Money preyed upon parents who were desperate for anyone to help their children.

He also explained to them that although their child would not, if changed into a girl, be able to bear children, she would develop psychologically as a woman and would find her erotic attraction to men."

Latina Influencer Tells Her 200k+ Followers Why She Left The Democrat Party “I used to be a radical feminist slash liberal and to this day it's been the most embarrassing phase of my life like it still makes me cringe. People always ask me, hey, Shelley. What made you walk away from the Democratic party / liberalism? And it wasn't one big, like, wake up call for me. Uh, it was a process: It started when I first started paying taxes. I remember working 60 to 70 hour weeks only to get 30 to 40% of my paycheck cut from me. Realistically speaking, that's out of those 60 hours, I worked 20 of those for somebody else. And then my hate for Democrats got a lot worse when I started looking into government spending and I realized how they spent our money. For example, did you know that over the last 5 years, California spent over $20 billion on the homeless crisis. Now if you live in LA, you're wondering, hey. Where does that money go? Because it's only gotten worse. Right? It hasn't gotten any better. When you ask the government, they can't tell you how those $20 billion were spent. They don't know where they went. They can't even tell you if those $20 billion were effective because they're incapable of balancing a budget instead of reining in their spending. Do you know what they're doing? They're increasing taxes on the average American, meaning that more of the hours you work aren't gonna be for you or your family, they're gonna be for someone else. And you know who's getting screwed the most? Middle class hardworking Americans. And that's the tip of the iceberg. That's just a financial side, and it does get worse. When when it comes to what Democrats how they're trying to groom children in schools, it's disturbing. Doesn't matter to me if you're gay, straight, or a fucking unicorn. I don't think the government should be involved in your everyday life or who you're attracted to at all. But there's absolutely no reason why the government should be trying to force sexuality into the curriculum and exposing young children and minors to sexuality at such a young age when it can actually harm their development. There's absolutely no reason that the government and the school system should be transitioning a young minor, encouraging them to get surgeries, encouraging to get medical treatments that they can't take back without the consent or knowledge from the parents. Actually, they help hide this from the parents. When I was a kid, when an adult said, hey, don't tell your parents, that was a giant red flag. Why are we just glossing it over now and acting like all of this is okay? California everyday tries to pass more laws to try and take away parental rights from their children. And don't take this as me saying, hey, go be a Republican. I'm saying, hey, go vote for what you believe in because I don't believe in anything that the democratic party stands for anymore. It's wrong. It's disturbing on so many levels.

Just wait until the education system decides to teach your children about “the drones”. Today our “trauma-informed” education system profits from manipulating societal experiences/opinions to drive unreasonable fear in children. They exploit the fear they create to brainwash children into thinking the only way to be safe is to give the government more control. In other words- create the chaos & drive the “solution”. Examples: 1. Teach children climate change will kill us all if the government doesn’t regulate everything. 2. Teach children banning transgender services will increase su!cides and the government should usurp parental rights to ensure they can mutilate themselves. 3. Teach George Floyd was killed by an officer for being black and the government should defund the police. 4. Teach children if everyone doesn’t get the Covid V then they will die so the government should mandate them. 5. Teach children that people will die bc of free speech on social media platforms by spreading dangerous “misinformation & hate speech” therefore the government should amend the 1st amendment. 🤔 Wonder what the drone situation will bring? The drones are a threat and the government should have more surveillance over the people? @CourageHabit

Ohio teacher has a meltdown because Ohio passed the "Parents' Bill of Rights" which requires schools inform parents if their kid decides to change their gender, bans gender ideology indoctrination in K-3, and allows parents to opt their kids out of lessons with s*xual content. Why would any teacher be mad about not being able to keep secrets from parents and parents having a say in their childrens' education?

🚨 Planned Parenthood is quickly becoming one of the number one providers of puberty blockers to teenagers in America “Almost 12,000 teenagers, aged 12 to 17, have been treated with puberty blockers or pro trans counseling by Planned Parenthood” “I guess after the overturning of Roe v Wade and the consequential closure of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics all over the country, the company hit the drawing board and asked how can we make up for this loss of revenue? The answer, it turns out, was pretty simple. And as a result, to date, almost twelve thousand teenagers, aged 12 to 17, have been treated, I hate even using that word, with puberty blockers or pro trans counseling by planned parenthood. More often than not, with zero history of gender dysphoria and no actual medical diagnostic process. Stories of detransitioners like Helena Kirschner are starting to expose just how bad Planned Parenthood's counseling actually is. This beautiful young woman walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic, and in less than an hour, she was given 4x the typical starting dose of testosterone hormone replacement therapy by a nurse practitioner. Less than an hour. Pat Catterson, another young woman, less than an hour, expected that she would have to go through some sort of diagnostic process, but instead called a doctor from Planned Parenthood for 30 minutes on the phone and was given a prescription for testosterone. Thirty minutes. When you also consider that Planned Parenthood is probably the number one author of sex ed curriculum in our country today, influencing millions upon millions of young men and women in conversations about gender identity at school every day. How are people not realizing this is literally just a pyramid scheme to indoctrinate kids into thinking I was born in the wrong body, to call these clinics on the phone for half an hour, and to be given prescriptions of these drugs from planned parenthood themselves. Reminder, by the way, that this organization receives $700,000,000 from the United States government taxpayer money every single year. Turns out, you can destroy the family in a whole lot more ways than just abortion, and this organization is committed to figuring out how to do”

@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Ten years ago Thursday, the movement for gay and lesbian equality scored a victory that only a decade before had seemed unimaginable. We won equal rights to civil marriage in every state in the country. In 2020 came another stunning win. In a majority opinion written by one of President Trump’s nominees, Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court found that gay men, lesbians and transgender men and women are covered under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and protected from employer discrimination. In 2024, the Republican Party removed opposition to marriage equality from its platform, and the current Republican Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, is a married gay man with two children. Gay marriage is backed by around 70 percent of Americans, and discrimination against gay men, lesbians and transgender people is opposed by 80 percent. As civil rights victories go, it doesn’t get more decisive or comprehensive than this.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But a funny thing happened in the wake of these triumphs. Far from celebrating victory, defending the gains, staying vigilant, but winding down as a movement that had achieved its core objectives — including the end of H.I.V. in the United States as an unstoppable plague — gay and lesbian rights groups did the opposite. Swayed by the broader liberal shift to the “social justice” left, they radicalized.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
In 2023, the Human Rights Campaign @HRC, the largest gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights group in the country, declared a “state of emergency” for gay men, lesbians and transgender people — the first time in the organization’s existence. It had not declared a state of emergency when gay men were jailed for having sex in private, when the AIDS epidemic killed hundreds of thousands of gay men or when we faced a possible constitutional amendment banning marriage equality in 2004. In fact, we found out, this “emergency” was almost entirely in response to new state bills proposing restrictions on medical treatment for minors with gender dysphoria; bathroom and locker room bans; and transgender issues in school curricula and sports.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Nonetheless, the money has poured into gay, lesbian and transgender groups in the past decade. Charitable funding for such groups totaled $387 million in 2012, according to the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s Equitable Giving Lab. By 2021, it was $823 million. L.G.B.T.Q.+ organizations also saw their assets grow 76 percent from 2019 to 2021 — around double the size of their increase in donations. A group like @GLAAD — founded in 1985 to combat anti-gay media bias in the depths of the AIDS epidemic — saw its funding increase sixfold between 2014 and 2023. The Human Rights Campaign @HRC has also seen revenues soar in the past decade.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this huge increase in funding was no longer primarily about gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights, because almost all had already been won. It was instead about a new and radical gender revolution. Focused on ending what activists saw as the oppression of the sex binary, which some critical gender and queer theorists associated with “white supremacy,” they aimed to dissolve natural distinctions between men and women in society, to replace biological sex with “gender identity” in the law and culture, and to redefine homosexuality, in the process, not as a neutral fact of the human condition but as a liberating ideological “queerness” meant to subvert and “queer” language, culture and society in myriad different ways.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
The words gay and lesbian all but disappeared. L.G.B.T. became L.G.B.T.Q., then L.G.B.T.Q.+, and more letters and characters kept being added: L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+ or 2S.L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+ (to include intersex, asexual people and two-spirit Indigenous people). The plus sign referred to a seemingly infinite number of new niche identities, and, by some counts, more than 70 new “genders.” The point was that this is all one revolutionary, intersectional community of gender-diverse people, and intertwined with other left causes, from Black Lives Matter to Queers for Palestine.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
They needed a new banner for that. So the rainbow flag, invented back in 1978 at the request of Harvey Milk, was replaced over the last few years by a new “Progress” flag, representing intersectional oppression. Black and brown stripes were added to the rainbow — for Black and brown people (and the people lost during the AIDS crisis) — and pink, light blue and white for trans people. That flag now demarcates a place not simply friendly to all types of people, as the old rainbow flag did, but a place where anyone who does not subscribe to intersectional left ideology is unwelcome.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
“Queer” was a way of summing up the new regime, a clear sign that this really was a different movement than the gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights movement of the past. It’s a word that can easily trigger gay men over 40 who remember it as the last slur they once heard before being bashed in the head. But one of the striking aspects of the younger queer generation is their disdain for those who came before them.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
As I watched all this radical change, I wondered, was I just another old fart, shaking my fist at the sky, like every older generation known to man? Why not just accept that the next gay and lesbian generation has new ideas, has moved on, and old-timers like me should just move aside? And some of the changes are indeed welcome. The greater acceptance of trans people is a huge step forward for all of us. But then, as I told my friends (gay, trans and everyone else), I’d always believed this and always supported trans civil rights. I was glad when, five years ago, the Supreme Court gave transgender people civil rights protection in employment. I’ve also long lived in a gay world that is skewed left, and, along with my fellow gay non-lefties, I’ve long made my peace with it, or tried to.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this new ideology, I believed, was different. Like many gays and lesbians — and a majority of everybody else — I simply didn’t buy it. I didn’t and don’t believe that being a man or a woman has nothing to do with biology. My sexual orientation is based on a biological distinction between men and women: I’m attracted to the former and not to the latter. And now I was supposed to believe the difference didn’t exist? I’m more than happy to accept that there are some people — not all that many — who don’t fit in that binary, and want to be protected from discrimination and allowed full access to medical interventions in order to live lives that are true to who they are. And I’m with them all the way. After all, I, too, am a part of a minority — most people live their lives governed by heterosexual desires. Thanks to the gay and lesbian movement, I’m not being asked to.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But abolishing the sex binary for the entire society? That’s a whole other thing entirely. And madness, I believe. What if I redefined what it is to be heterosexual and imposed it on straight people? Or changed what it means to be a man or a woman, for that matter? Then it ceases to be accommodation of a minority and becomes a societywide revolution — an overreach that would soon lead to a potent and sane backlash, against not just trans people, but gay men and lesbians as well.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
The gay rights movement, especially in the marriage years, had long asked for simple liberal equality and mutual respect — live and let live. Reform, not revolution. No one’s straight marriage would change if gay marriage arrived, we pledged. You can bring up your children however you like. We will leave you alone. We will leave your children alone. But in the wake of victory, L.G.B.T.Q.+ groups reneged on that pledge. They demanded the entire society change in a fundamental way so that the sex binary no longer counted. Elementary school children were taught that being a boy or a girl might not have anything to do with their bodies, and that their parents had merely guessed whether they were a boy or a girl when they were born. In fact, sex was no longer to be recognized at birth — it was now merely assigned, penciled in. We got new terms like “chest-feeding” for “breastfeeding” and “birthing parent” for “mother."
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
A key leader of this movement, Chase Strangio, informed us that “a penis is not a male body part. It’s just an unusual body part for a woman.” We all were suddenly expected to announce our pronouns as if everyone didn’t already know. Then neopronouns — xe/xem! — were added. The movement came up with a mantra: “TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN. TRANS MEN ARE MEN.” It was not an argument, nor a proposition to be explored or debated. It was a theological command. In all caps.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Was there any debate among gays and lesbians about this profound change, a vote taken, or even a poll of gay men and lesbians? None that I can find or recall. And, as in other “social justice” spaces, dissent was equated with bigotry. Dissenters from gender ideology are routinely unfriended, shunned and shamed. Almost all of the gay men, trans people and lesbians who have confided in me that they don’t agree with this, or think that @JK_Rowling or @Martina Navratilova have some good points, have said so sotto voce lest anyone overhear. That’s the extremely intolerant and illiberal atmosphere that now exists in the gay, lesbian and transgender space. This little community used to champion all manner of expression or argument or speech, eccentrics and visionaries. Now it’s fearful, self-censored and extremely uptight. Debate has been all but snuffed out; total uniformity of thought is demanded.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this illiberalism made a fateful, strategic mistake. In the gay rights movement, there had always been an unspoken golden rule: Leave children out of it. We knew very well that any overreach there could provoke the most ancient blood libel against us: that we groom and abuse kids. You can bring up your children however you like, we promised. We will leave you alone. We will leave your children alone. So what did the gender revolutionaries go and do? They focused almost entirely on children and minors. Partly because the adult issues had been resolved or close to it, and partly because true cultural revolutions start with the young, it meant overhauling the education not only of children with gender dysphoria, but of every other kid as well.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Kids all over the country were impacted. Your children were taught in elementary school that being a boy or a girl was something they could choose and change at will. Your daughter found herself running against a trans girl (i.e. a biological male) in athletics. Children in elementary school got to pick pronouns, and some children socially transitioned at school without their parents’ knowledge or permission. I suppose there are other ways you can resurrect the ghost of Anita Bryant, and all the homophobic paranoia that followed her, but this will probably do the trick.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And then most radical of all: gender-affirming care for minors, which can lead to irreversible sex changes for children. The “care” included off-label “blockers” to arrest puberty, almost always followed with cross-sex hormones. To begin with, gays and lesbians, including me, empathized with kids with gender dysphoria, and trusted the medical profession with the rest. If this helped kids or even saved their lives, as was often emphasized, what business was it of mine? If transitioning this young in life would helped some pass better as adults, good for them.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Still, questions lingered, drawn from my own life. As a child, uninterested in playing team sports but very interested in the boys who played team sports, I was once asked by a girl when I was just 10 years old, “Are you sure you’re not really a girl?” Of course not, I replied. But I wonder how I might have responded if someone in authority — a parent or a teacher or a doctor — had suggested that my difference and occasional anxiety was because I was, in fact, a girl. That my body was irrelevant, and that I could choose to be the opposite sex before puberty and all my confusions would disappear. I just don’t know what I would have said or done, to be honest.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And how do today’s parents, teachers and doctors know for surethat a 10-year-old child isn’t, well, like me, and really is trans? How can they know for sure that the gender dysphoria isn’t instead a manifestation of being gay or lesbian and wanting to change it? How do they know for sure there isn’t another complicating personal or psychological factor? I was told not to worry. A child had to demonstrate a “persistent, consistent and insistent” trans identity for years even to be considered for medical intervention.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But this, I found out, was no longer true. The whole point of the new regime of gender-affirming care was that it rejected broad mental health assessments of children that could ensure that mistakes really didn’t happen. The old “persistent, consistent and insistent” model was deemed transphobic and loosened to become an affirmation policy. As soon as a kid said he or she was the opposite sex, further counseling and mental health exploration was deemed problematic, because it amounted to transphobic conversion therapy, we were told. When I said that seemed crazy, and that surely we needed more safeguards, I was sternly told, “Children know who they are.”
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But do they? When they are between 9 and 13? I sure didn’t. Does any parent really believe this? Solid long-term data on how many children who transition but decide later it was a mistake is hard to find, in large part because the procedures are relatively new and the studies often have very poor follow-up. But without a doubt, there are some. They are walking around today, testifying in courts and legislatures, opining all over the web, telling similar stories of rushed judgments, minimal safeguards, inadequate gate-keeping and agonizing regret that as children they made irreversible decisions they could not meaningfully consent to.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
I have met many. They break your heart. And so many of the gender-dysphoric kids are gay and lesbian. Of course they are, and there are many more children who will grow up to be gay and lesbian than who will grow up to be trans. When adolescents referred to a British gender clinic were asked about their sexualityin 2012, some 90 percent of females and 80 percent of males said they were same-sex attracted or bisexual.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
In the Netherlands, the famous Dutch protocol for gender-affirming care was pioneered in the 1990s with far stricter safeguards in place than exist in the United States today. There, of a cohort of 70 adolescents referred to an Amsterdam clinic from 2000 to 2008, 62 were same-sex attracted. And it’s easy to see that one way to “cure” yourself of attraction to the same sex is to become the opposite one. At Britain’s now-shuttered Tavistock clinic, according to the investigative journalist Hannah Barnes, staff members had a dark joke that at the rate they were going, there would be “no gay people left.” This is why sex-change surgeries are permitted and even subsidized in Iran: It’s a way to rid the country of gay people.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And a fix for gender dysphoria for gay and lesbian kids can be puberty itself, as it was for me and many of my gay male friends. Once my own hormones kicked in, my anxieties evaporated. I lovedbeing a boy, I realized. Puberty blockers literally block gay and lesbian kids from the chance at that possible resolution of their gender dysphoria. There is a real conflict here, and it’s obscured by the L.G.B.T.Q.+ identity.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
We were also told, repeatedly, that transitioning children was drastic, but the alternative could be that they would commit suicide. “We often ask parents, ‘Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter?’” Johanna Olson-Kennedy, a vocal advocate of these treatments, told ABC News in 2011. But even the American Civil Liberties Union @ACLU’s Mr. Strangio admitted, when arguing before the Supreme Court last year, that suicide “thankfully and admittedly is rare.” In one study from Britain, of some 15,000 adolescents referred for gender care over a decade, there were four likely or confirmed suicides two who had been seen and two had not. One suicide is awful — and suicidality is real among kids with gender dysphoria. But that doesn’t mean that suicide is what will happen if you don’t transition a child.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
One specific concern for boys who transition to girls in early puberty. “If you’ve never had an orgasm pre-surgery, and then your puberty’s blocked, it’s very difficult to achieve that afterwards,” a pioneering trans surgeon, Dr. Marci Bowers, has said. Research on this is minimal, and so caution is necessary in jumping to conclusions. But I ask myself: If there is a risk that some people will be denied sexual pleasure for their entire life because they transitioned very early, is it worth it? And how can a child understand what giving up orgasms for life might mean when he hasn’t experienced a single one? The obvious answer is that he can’t, and it’s profoundly unethical to put him in that situation. And who exactly is looking out for these kids? Certainly not the L.G.B.T.Q. organizations.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
How did a movement that began with sexual liberation end up doing that? By drift, activist extremism, a social media bubble and suppression of free debate. Soon enough, the right began associating what used to be the lesbian and gay movement with this gender extremism, and the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement responded not by moderating tone or substance, but by closing ranks, seemingly determined to prove its point.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Dissent became anathema. When this newspaper reported on controversies in gender medicine, GLAAD parked a billboard truck outside the New York Times Building on several occasions, demanding the coverage change. In relatively new, disputed medical territory, partisans have insisted that “the science is settled.” When a book came out criticizing childhood transition, Mr. Strangio declared: “Stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on.” Public speeches by dissenters have faced abuse, intimidation, and far too often, threats of violence.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
It’s a horrible reversal of history: For so long, First Amendment rights were the primary constitutional right gays and lesbians could fully and regularly exercise, and we treasured them. If censorship was in the air, gay men and lesbians were the first to oppose it. We knew who was shut up first when it came to shutting people up, and we knew we would always be a small minority. The idea that we would tell other people what words they can use, shut down speakers, criticize journalists and threaten others into silence was once absurd. Yet these are now the signature tools of the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement. They do not seek to engage or persuade opponents; they seek to demonize, bully or cancel them.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Or take the campaign for marriage equality. We were almost pathologically civil, willing to debate anyone anywhere, and the harder the nut to crack, the better. For two decades, I went to fundamentalist churches in Idaho, Mormon groups, Catholic universities, conservative media, right-wing talk shows and C-SPAN, and published an anthology that included views from bothsides. We knew that if we wanted to win, and not just posture, we needed to reach conservatives and moderates and explore where we might agree. And it worked! It took time, and we were laughed at at first, but you could see the polling slowly, inexorably shift toward us, from one-quarter to two-thirds in our favor from the 1990s to the 2010s, as our arguments and openness slowly, person by person, won over the country.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Now, look at the recent results of the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement. In the last five years, activists have actually managed to move public opinion away from their causes in many respects. In 2021, for example, 62 percent of Americans said that transgender athletes should be able to play only on teams that matched their gender at birth; by 2023, that figure had risen to 69 percent. This is not bigotry at work. This year, the very same pollster found that a solid majority of Americans — 56 percent — favor policies protecting trans people from discrimination. Americans are broadly fine with transgender people. They are fine with gay people. They just reject replacing the fact of biological sex with the phantasms of gender ideology.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
And it’s not because most people don’t know any trans people personally. When people who know a trans person personally were polled, only 40 percent in 2021 supported their competing in teams that matched their gender identity; by 2023, that dropped to 30 percent. On the medical question, 46 percent of Americanssupported banning medical care related to gender transitions for minors in 2022. Today, as people have learned more, 56 percent do. Trans extremism was taken up with gusto by Republicans as an issue and it most likely helped move swing voters to Mr. Trump last year. In one post-election survey, cultural issues, including transgender issues, were slightly more salient for swing voters than even immigration and inflation.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
I hoped this might prompt a rethink as the election results sank in. Last week’s Skrmetti decision at the Supreme Court was another reality check, as the court upheld Tennessee’s ban on certain medical treatments for transgender youth, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy, rejecting claims that the ban violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause and shielding similar laws in other states. When the ruling came down, the mood among L.G.B.T.Q.+ groups was defiant. So the ranks are being closed again.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
If Mr. Trump is against childhood sex reassignment, then we must be for it. If Mr. Trump says there are two sexes, we must insist that there is a spectrum. It will be very hard to break this dynamic in such a tribal atmosphere, especially when there is genuine transphobia among some on the right. But it would be incredibly healthy if we were to allow an actual debate in the community about the direction we are headed in, and treat dissenters less like bigots and traitors. Representative Sarah McBride, the first openly trans member of Congress, echoed this sentiment on @EzraKlein’s podcast last week. But she was condemned on social media as a traitor to trans people.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
This intransigence matters because, left on its current trajectory, the L.G.B.T.Q.+ gender movement carries significant risks for gay, lesbian and trans equality. Gallup found that satisfaction with the acceptance of gay and lesbian people peaked at 62 percent in 2022 but dropped to 51 percent by January of this year. The center and right — whom some of us spent a lifetime engaging — are being lost. Gallup showed Republican support for gay marriage dropping from 55 to 46 percent between 2022 and 2025.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
History strongly suggests that periods of toleration of gay men and lesbians can swiftly end if the public senses an overreach. That may be where we now are. No society has ever been as free for gay men, lesbians and transgender people as the modern West today. There is no such thing as the Human Rights Campaign’s “state of emergency,” and it was absurd to say so. But for some activists, there has to be. As Francis Fukuyama put it in “The End of History and the Last Man,” “Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because that just cause was victorious in an earlier generation, then they will struggle againstthe just cause.”
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
Returning to a civil rights model and abandoning the quixotic attempt to end the sex binary do not mean, as some might have it, throwing trans people under the bus. Trans people are already on the bus; they are protected from employment discrimination under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Their existing rights should be defended and expanded to public accommodations — especially the adult right to have access to gender medicine through Medicaid, which is now being threatened. Americans should back us on that. But fighting a losing battle to allow trans women to compete in women’s sports and for biological men to be in women’s intimate spaces, and to perpetuate risky, inadequately tested sex changes on children, including gay and lesbian ones, is dumb, offensive to common sense and risks a much bigger backlash.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
This does not mean the L.G.B.T.Q.+ project should be shut down entirely. We need to defend our wins; we need to protect the interests of gays, lesbians and trans people. We need to greatly expand help and care for children with gender dysphoria, prevent bullying and increase mental health resources. Protecting them from often irreversible sex changes should not mean abandoning them. It should mean renewed concern, support and, above all, solid, evidence-based research on how best we can help.
@benryanwriter - Benjamin Ryan
But in America, on, this anniversary of the Obergefell decision, we also need to remember a critical thing: We won. We won because we defended free speech, reached out to right and left and center, left others and children alone — and trusted liberal democracy. That trust was rewarded with one of the swiftest successes in civil rights history. Let’s not throw it away.

"Children Are Being Preyed Upon...Transgender Ideology Is Based In Fraud." Dr Sheila Furey, Child Psychiatrist "It Isn't Medical Based. It Isn't Scientifically Based. It's A Trillion Dollar Industry That seeks To Fast Track Transgender Drugs & Surgery Onto Our Most Vulnerable." Ideas being pushed on kids today didn’t come from biology — they came from adults with agendas. A child doesn’t suddenly believe they’re in the “wrong body” without someone planting that idea. Once they repeat it out loud, there’s a whole system ready with pills, blockers & surgeries — and big money behind it. Blocking healthy development isn’t health care. It’s a pipeline. And children deserve better. Well before a child learns the difference between adjectives & verbs, activists in many government schools are teaching their pre-K students lessons on transgender pronouns—pronouns like ‘ze’ and ‘zir.’ Public libraries host ‘drag queen story time’ for children of all ages. Teachers are sharing their own intimate sexual encounter stories & openly dressing as the opposite sex in front of their students. It is dangerous & destructive to coerce & push children, whose minds are still developing, to make such life-altering decisions at such young ages – especially since 90% of children who experience gender confusion, no longer hold that view by the time they are 18...if loved & allowed to develop on their own without medical interventions. Many gender-confused children also suffer from mental health issues. Children who identify as transgender are up to 13 times more likely to have ADHD, depression or anxiety than non-transgender children. A study out of the United Kingdom found that 35% of the children who received gender treatment had moderate or severe autism. Many European countries have restricted the use of hormone treatments & surgeries on children. Most notably, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service shut down its transgender youth treatment center, the Tavistock Clinic, after an investigation revealed that the clinic had put young people “at considerable risk” of long-term mental distress. Activists push parents to give their children “gender-affirming care,” including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones & surgeries. Often with the threat & coercion statement...if you don't, you will have a dead son/daughter. These drugs and surgeries can inflict irreparable harm on children. Puberty blockers are hormone-based injections or implants given to children as young as 8 years old to delay the onset of puberty. Gonadotropin, the hormone used in puberty blockers, is the same hormone used to chemically castrate sex offenders. It can leave children with diminished bone density and harm their future fertility. Activists claim that “gender affirming care” improves the mental health of children with gender confusion. However, a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry found that there is no reduction in mental health issues following hormone treatments or sex-reassignment surgeries. Cross-sex hormones begin to transition children to appear more like the other gender. Boys take estrogen, which can cause infertility, blood clots & heart problems. Girls take testosterone, which can also cause infertility, male-pattern baldness & high blood pressure. Adults have given cross-sex hormones to children as young as 13 years old. Sex-reassignment surgeries, including mastectomies, phalloplasty & vaginoplasty are irreversible. They can result in infertility & loss of sexual function. Activists have advocated for 15-year-old girls to access double mastectomies & 17-year-old boys to receive vaginoplasties. American parents have struggled to protect their children from these radical procedures. Parents in some states can lose custody of their children for refusing to abide by the transgender ideology. In Oregon, children as young as 15 years old can receive Medicaid-funded hormone treatments without their parents’ consent. 👇Sexualization Of Children Destroys Lives👇 https://thenewamerican.com/video/dr-sheila-furey-sexualization-of-children-destroys-lives-morality-and-america/ 👇A Psychiatrist Perspective On Transgenderism👇 https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/the-feds1/episodes/47--Dr--Sheila-Furey-A-Psychiatrists-Perspective-on-Covid-and-Transgenderism-e2m4vui/a-abehvk8 👇Evidence Over Ideology👇 https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2024/09/96005/ Speaker: Dr Sheila Furey, MD Video: @Wellness_Radar

DISGUSTING: Westland Middle School was BUSTED for giving an entire lesson on LGBTQIA+ to SIXTH GRADERS! This is exactly the kind of propaganda that gets pushed on children by mentally unwell "teachers." The topics covered things like: "How do people know if they are a 'girl' or 'boy'?" This is SIMPLE. They are whatever they were BORN AS. Anything else being pushed on them is evil and seeks to further undermine and destabilize children and their families. This has to STOP! We did NOT vote to have radical left propaganda shoved down our children's throats.

The public school system is designed to indoctrinate children into: -CRT (Critical Race Theory) -Gender ideology -Climate ideology -Feminism, & -Atheism & everyday more parents realize that if you want to protect your child from the woke mind virus you have to start young. https://t.co/U6w2AtWNfz

This week in Bahrain the Navy told sailors that they talk to their children at age 12 about gender identity, sex, STD’s, pregnancy, etc. without notifying parents. When asked if "the Navy’s policy circumvents a parents right to know?" the @USNavy official answered "Yes". Insane.

This clip is one of the more infuriating parts of this. Navy Nurse Practitioner Nichole Benson seems to be saying that parents not being accepting of the trans agenda is the reason for suicides. This is the emotional manipulation used to get parents on board with transitions. She then admits that the @USNavy circumvents parental rights. This is beyond unacceptable. We demand answers and a policy change ASAP from the Navy. The government is actively engaged in grooming the children of our service members into Marxist ideologies.

I’m currently investigating if this policy is one that the @DeptofDefense forced on all branches of the military. If you’re in the Army, Marines, Space Force, Air Force or National Guard: Ask about the Navy policy to see if your branch has the same policy. DM me if you record it.
