Abigail Martinez's daughter, Yaelie, faced difficulties in high school after joining the Gender and Sexuality Alliance Club. Yaelie believed her struggles were due to being transgender, but her mother disagreed. Despite her mother's objections, the state took Yaelie away, placed her in a group home, and administered testosterone. Tragically, Yaelie died by suicide while separated from her mother. Another girl named Sage from Virginia was also influenced online and through school. She was sex trafficked and abused for months before being found. Instead of returning her home, authorities placed her in a group home where she was sexually assaulted again. Sage eventually escaped but was trafficked once more before finally returning home. These stories highlight the devastating consequences of government officials supporting false gender narratives.

My daughter was taken from me at 16 by CPS and a school counselor, with the help of an LGBTQ group. They claimed I was abusive for not affirming her trans identity. Despite promising to use a male name, it wasn't enough. Instead of therapy, she was given testosterone, and the LGBTQ group used her to raise money. Transgender kids end up in foster care because the state takes them from their families. Parents are forced to affirm their child's identity or risk losing them. The abuse claim against me was proven false, but it was too late. My daughter suffered mentally and physically, and eventually took her own life. I urge you to stop promoting gender ideology to prevent other parents from experiencing this pain.

I offer support to find gender affirming care for youth, even if they need to go out of state. If parents are unsupportive, some kids choose to get emancipated at 16 to make their own medical decisions. Dealing with transphobic parents can be tough, especially if they are very right-leaning. It's important to find a chosen family of friends who accept you. I can send you a binder discreetly if needed.

I noticed metallic posters in student bathrooms promoting hotlines like the national suicide hotline and the Trevor Project. Curious, I texted the suicide hotline about my gender confusion and received guidance to explore my gender. I visited trevorspace.org, which is for ages 13 to 24, and found discussions among kids expressing loneliness and seeking friends. There were various chat spaces, including those for non-binary individuals and even a regressor space where older individuals could identify as younger. I believe schools are becoming a pipeline for human trafficking, particularly affecting vulnerable LGBTQ kids. When I spoke at the National Educators Association about the Trevor Project, I was abruptly cut off, indicating its sensitive status.

The most critical time to intervene is in grades 5 through 8, as kids are starting puberty and forming their identities. However, early intervention is important, so we're also developing a curriculum for kindergarten through grade 2. We recently visited an elementary school and worked with students in grades 3, 4, and 5. After our visit, five students went to the principal's office and came out. This experience has motivated us to reach even younger grades.

It's important to notice that transitioners often survive and share their stories, while non-affirmed trans kids often do not. This is crucial for parents and friends to understand. Detransitioners have shared their experiences on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Unfortunately, non-affirmed trans individuals have a high suicide rate, with up to 41% attempting or committing suicide, usually before the age of 23. This is devastating and emphasizes the importance of affirmation for trans youth.

I openly display LGBTQ+ flags at work, but some criticize teachers like me for discussing sexuality with students. They argue that educators should focus on academics, not personal lives. A documentary called American Groomer highlights concerns about sexualization in schools, urging parents to watch and consider removing their children from the system for their safety. The film is available for free at americangroomerfilm.com.

I believe transgenderism is a mental health condition, but I support open conversation. I met two young women who had regretted their decision to have surgeries as teenagers. I think adults should have the freedom to live as they choose, but we must protect children.

I wanted to find relief from my pain and figure out what was wrong with me. I turned to the Internet for help. Recently, there has been a surge in media and social media representations of transgenderism, even in mainstream advertising. This content is being consumed by young teenagers, who can easily be influenced. When trans-identified kids go to gender clinics, they are promised comprehensive mental health assessments, but that's not always the case. These clinics now believe that trans kids know who they are, and questioning them is taboo. I was easily manipulated and nobody was there to support me. I tried to alleviate my gender dysphoria, but it only made my body image issues worse. Now, what do we do?

I was once a true believer in gender affirming care, training judges and hospital staff in Missouri. My trans spouse of 13 years detransitioned, which contributed to my change of mind, along with other factors. The protocol is homophobic, built on regressive stereotypes. Of the first 70 children in the protocol, 68 were same-sex attracted. One patient died after a vaginoplasty using their colon due to the puberty blocker preventing normal penis growth. Teenage girls are susceptible to social contagion, especially during COVID lockdowns and increased phone use. Patients mirrored online narratives about being trans, which we called "TikTok tics" in the clinic. I harmed patients, sending them to the ER for emergency surgeries after vaginal tearing during their first sexual experiences. We removed a young woman's breasts who later regretted it, detransitioned, became pregnant, and said her trans identity was a social contagion. I changed my mind because it was the ethical thing to do.

If you live in California, pull your kids out of public school because it's unfixable and will worsen. In one district, dozens of girls reported being assaulted on campus. The board of education members belong to Project Indivisible, so change is unlikely. The speaker worked for the district for two years and witnessed unbelievable things. After speaking out at board and city council meetings and meeting with the district office, the speaker was stalked, harassed, and chased off the road. The speaker advises, "These are not seeing people you're dealing with. Pull your kids out."

There has been a 5000% increase in adolescents suddenly expressing discomfort with their bodies, which parents report seems to appear "out of the blue." This rapid onset gender dysphoria is often found in kids with conditions like autism, depression, anxiety, trauma, or abuse, and in difficult family situations. This phenomenon tends to happen in clusters, with many kids identifying as transgender or non-binary having friends who also identify that way. This suggests an element of social contagion, where feelings, behaviors, or beliefs spread within a friend group. Some children's social lives are primarily online, where they are influenced to question their identity and assume a new one, sometimes by older individuals.

Freshman year was terrifying due to bullying, harassment, and assault from another student. My only refuge was choir class, where I connected with Mr. Stearns, who became my safe person. As a vulnerable 14-year-old, I accepted his hugs and affection, not realizing the inappropriateness. Despite my mother's concerns about our closeness, I felt alone and naive. The school district had a history of covering up sexual abuse by staff, and my reports of bullying were dismissed due to lack of evidence. My mom complained about Mr. Stearns' inappropriate behavior, but it was ignored. We eventually hired an attorney, but the response was dismissive, suggesting we were mentally unwell. The school claims to foster a safe environment while blaming the victims. The accountability lies with the administration, and change is desperately needed.

Children's bodies are not properly developed, but people argue that denying transition will lead to suicide. Data indicates the opposite: transitioning correlates with increased suicide rates, suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety. Individuals may regret transitioning, feeling manipulated and exploited. The speaker criticizes the use of "puberty blockers" and "gender affirming care" for minors, comparing it to barbaric practices like lobotomies. Children go through phases, and boys who want to transition may simply be gay. Some gay individuals feel that the concept of transition erases gay identity by implying they are in the wrong gender.

A parent pulled their children from New York City private schools due to radicalism. Their eldest child, in third grade at a top all-boys school, was subjected to a weeks-long educational program on trans issues without parental notification. The program featured men in tutus and suggested that liking the color purple could indicate being secretly female. The boys were asked to rate their certainty about being male on a scale of one to five, with confusion being presented as an option. The parent stated that the school taught the children that there could be at least three or four, but possibly a hundred genders. The parent considered this child abuse and withdrew their children from the school. Another speaker confirmed that this story highlights how deep the problem is, because it is happening even in high-end private schools.

"No matter what, bathrooms can definitely be tricky for not just transgender kids and teenagers, but non binary folks, or even cisgender folks who are gender non conforming." "Some of the, I think, helpful tips and tricks are find a close family member or friend who you feel comfortable with, who they're like your bathroom buddy." "It might seem silly at first, but it's really helpful and brings about a sense of security to have someone who you know has your back." "Sometimes using the bathrooms, if we can find a single user bathroom or a gender all inclusive one, often those are even just labeled family bathrooms, but they're there for people to use and they're there for transgender and gender diverse folks to use." "If those are there, think those are great options as well."

I was confronted by a neighbor for using the women's restroom, despite being a trans woman named Kaylee for over four years. I had stomach issues and needed to use the single-use bathroom, which I felt was safe. The neighbor insisted I was a man and repeatedly misgendered me. I lost my composure and screamed in frustration, feeling that my home should be a safe space. My friends, instead of supporting me, blamed me for escalating the situation, which was deeply hurtful. I felt triggered and unsupported, realizing these friends weren't the ones I needed. It’s disheartening to face such hostility, especially in a place meant to feel safe.

Parents Defending Education president Nikki Neely says the Trevor Project has been crafting model school policies, including those concerning gender issues. These policies encourage districts to withhold information from families. According to Neely, these policies have been adopted in both blue and red states, such as Idaho, where a child's preference takes precedence over the family's. Neely claims that while Brinton worked at the Trevor Project, the organization collaborated with groups like the American School Counselor Association and the National Association of School Psychologists to create a policy implying that even if a child is suicidal, the family might not be entitled to that information. Neely finds this implication frightening and appalling.

The speaker is co-chair of the trans and non-binary network of the NEU, a teacher at an alternative provision where most students are trans and non-binary, and an activist. The speaker clarifies they did not make their students trans; the school was like that when they arrived. These students come to the alternative provision because they are kicked out of the mainstream education system. Their gender expression is seen as a dismissal of behavior policy, their self-advocacy is seen as defiance, and their identity is seen as something worth anguish, not pride. The speaker and colleagues work to help students through trauma and show them that learning does not need to be an act of silencing. The speaker believes the current government's guidance is despicable and that there is no reason why students cannot be themselves in classrooms. The speaker urges the audience to speak to MPs, friends, families, Facebook groups, and local clubs. The speaker wants to tell their students that when systems fail to protect them, they fight back.

In 8th grade, I talked to the principal about my daughter's depression and took her to the hospital after she overdosed on pills. Child Protective Services (CPS) got involved and my daughter was sent to an LGBTQ group without my knowledge. She started feeling like she was in the wrong body and her depression worsened. She went through medication, therapy, and surgeries, but it didn't help. She attempted suicide twice and eventually died by kneeling in front of a train. I asked to see something from her body, but there was nothing left. I believe she can see how hard I fought for her from heaven.

I often see youth who have already undergone medical interventions due to a backlog in mental health support. Children may not fully understand the impact of these interventions, making it challenging to discuss. It can be especially difficult for young adolescents starting puberty suppression. We aim to make kids happy in the moment, but it's crucial to consider the long-term effects on their development. This is a growing challenge in our field that requires further exploration.

I regret getting a sex change. My hole is infected and smells terrible. I feel like taking my own life. I think I'll get more attention than gay people. Some men can become women by trading their genitals, but it's not worth it because it smells bad. There's a global mission to change genitals, even for minors. I used to be named Craig, but now I'm a new girl with a Y chromosome. I got brainwashed by the internet and now I'm stuck with this regret. I should have just stayed gay.

If you're transgender or nonbinary and feel uncomfortable with your puberty experiences, you're not alone. Puberty blockers can temporarily halt the changes caused by hormones like testosterone and estrogen, giving you more time to figure out your gender identity. It's okay to not have all the answers right now, as understanding yourself takes time. Talking to a trusted adult, nurse, or doctor can be helpful. To learn more, visit plannedparenthood.org/teens.

An 18-year-old high school student raises concerns about transgender individuals claiming to be women and using women's spaces. They mention an incident at MLK High School where a transgender woman, who is biologically male, had an altercation with a young woman. The student questions why the safety of women is being compromised by allowing mentally confused men to use women's spaces. They express that true girls like themselves, who are female down to their DNA, should have a say in this matter. The student urges action to protect the safety of women and calls on the school to address the issue. Another student shares their experience of being continuously bothered by the transgender individual and expresses frustration with the lack of action from the school.

I'm just heading to the bathroom. What are you doing in the girl's bathroom? I'm a trans girl. But, you're not a girl. Oh, we're doing all of this now. Interesting. I've never heard of this before, and I don't know what to say. I'm sorry you feel that way. I pay a lot of money to feel safe in the bathroom. Me too. Excuse me. Weird. Do you think that's okay?
