On December 4, 2024, Gays Against Groomers made its position clear in the nation’s capital. We participated in a powerful rally and a monumental judicial proceeding. We were proud to stand alongside detransitioners Chloe Cole, Prisha Mosely, and Laura Becker, and parental rights powerhouses Gabrielle Clark, Billboard Chris, Erin Friday, and Jeanette Cooper. Clockwise from top left with Dr. Rich Guggenheim : Chloe Cole , Gabrielle Clark, Erin Friday, Billboard Chris Our team had the pleasure of speaking with members of the U.S. Congress, including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, as well as Representatives Steve Scalise, Nancy Mace, Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Don Bacon, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We voiced our concerns about the issues affecting our community, particularly the inappropriate sexualization and medicalization of children. Our message resonated with those fighting to protect children from becoming lifelong medical patients. Clockwise from top left: Speaker Johnson, Rep Greene, Rep Ocasio-Cortez, Rep Mace & Adam Vena On Wednesday evening, we met with U.S. Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas to discuss our stance opposing gender-affirming care for minors. We shared the heartbreaking story of a father who lost his son to radical gender ideology. The next day, Senator Marshall introduced S-5424, "A bill to prohibit gender transition procedures on minors, to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to impose civil penalties on individuals who perform gender transition procedures on minors, and for other purposes." We are grateful for Senator Marshall's ongoing efforts to protect children from the harm of gender ideology at the federal level, including his work on the Defining Male and Female Act of 2024,  the Protecting Children From Experimentation Act of 2023,  and the End Taxpayer Funding of Gender Experimentation Act of 2023. Gays Against Groomers Director of Legislation, Dr. Rich Guggenheim We especially want to thank U.S. Representative Greg Lopez of Colorado and his wife, Lisa, for making this trip possible and for their generosity in showing our team around Washington, D.C.! Gays Against Groomers Wisconsin Chapter Leader Jesse S., U.S. Representative Greg Lopez, Lisa Lopez, Gays Against Groomers Director of Legislation Dr. Rich Guggenheim, Adam Vena The rally held on the steps of the Supreme Court was a moment for us to connect, share our stories, and strengthen our commitment to protect the next generation. We are exceptionally proud of our Director of Legislation, Dr. Rich Guggenheim, who delivered a passionate speech on the steps of the highest court in the nation. You can watch the speech here : We are honored to have contributed to the Amicus Brief , in the case USA v. Skrmetti.  This legal document serves as evidence and a clear defense of our position in the legal fight to protect minors from “gender-affirming care” procedures, which are risky and experimental at best. It ensures our voice is heard in the judicial process. We are determined to use every tool available, including the legal system, to fight for our cause. Gays Against Groomers Wisconsin Chapter Leader Jesse S. with a supporter Our presence at this event wasn’t just symbolic—it was a demonstration of our commitment to change, a promise we made when we first launched in 2022. We remain firm in challenging the narrative that tries to normalize destructive practices, all under the guise of “gender identity affirmation.” We could not do any of this without your support. From organizing rallies to funding crucial legal efforts, your donations keep us on the frontlines of ending the war on children. Please consider donating  today to support our ongoing efforts. Every contribution makes a difference and helps fuel our efforts to protect children from this insidious agenda. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for standing with us at this pivotal moment in history.

Thanks to gender ideology, a globally coordinated effort to bring modern “queer issues” into mainstream consciousness, there has been a concerningly sharp rise in trans-identifying minors. A UCLA study in 2022 estimated that the number of teenagers and young adults identifying as transgender in the US had doubled  in the previous five years alone. In the UK, there is a government inquiry underway to understand the alarming 4,000%  increase in children who wish to be the opposite sex. This is the basis for the existence of Gays Against Groomers. We know that this is not normal .  The sharp increase in trans-identification amongst boys and girls deserves careful consideration, analysis, and empathy. After all, the entire mainstream is now overflowing with “queer culture” through education, social media, television, and books alike. Children are easily influenced by the power of suggestion, overwhelmed and inundated with gender ideology coming from places of authority, peers, and online chat rooms; they may not fully grasp the implications of identity choices due to developmental stages and lack of a fully developed prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain where decisions are made. A trans identity is more than likely a phase. Studies show that 64-94%  of children who express discomfort with their biological sex will grow out of their dysphoria when they go through puberty and live as happy, gay adults.  This new woke LGBTQIA+ media conglomerate exploded after gay people achieved equal rights, as if achieving equality for everyone under the law was not enough. And a new sociopolitical endeavor came to the forefront: transgender youth. With this new minority came a wave of new rules and changes that redefined what it meant to be part of the LGB, now (in some areas) known as the LGBTQIA2S+. Our community has since warped into something unrecognizable, full of obnoxious, narcissistic, and demanding representatives who cry victim at every opportunity. As a result, much of the world has been taken emotionally hostage, slowly being gaslit to accept this new form of activism…or else. We have even seen robust attempts by the trans lobby to change the definitions of words like “woman” and “homosexual,” attempts that have succeeded in various activist institutions.  The rise of social media has coincided with the fall of mental health among young people, changing the way they see themselves and relate to others. While social media has its benefits, it is a double-edged sword, often resulting in worse mental health, less confidence, more insecurity, and less empathy for others. It has also become a hotbed for LGBTQ-charged content, something many young people gravitate towards when they want to feel understood. Many of these kids suffer from poor mental health. However, they rarely seek proper therapy or consider that their underlying issues could be the source of their identity distress. Ironically, those who do seek advice to better understand themselves often get sucked into the trans pipeline, where they are further distressed by questioning their identity. The cycle is vicious.  Many of these people are minors. The more youth that gravitate towards gender ideology, the more the mainstream attempts to grapple with how to treat these children. LGBTQ+ issues are now so prevalent that they have become a hot topic of political concern. Parental rights are now being questioned, and multiple states have become “sanctuary states for transgender youth.” Such poor handling of these issues has exposed a major problem: the system in place may inadvertently place many of these children at higher risk of running away, entering foster care, and ultimately becoming victims of trafficking .  Like a cult, gender ideology relies on psychological manipulation and pressure strategies. Young people are isolated from their loved ones who may question their newfound identity for the sake of their well-being, encouraged to “cut them out” with no sympathy. There is little to no room for asking questions in the gender cult; if you proclaim your identity, it is “harmful” for others to question it, instilling a state of perpetual victimhood in the believer. Gender cult followers are instilled with a fear that the outside world is out to get them, and any underlying trauma which could be influencing their newfound identity is completely irrelevant. Detransitioners, desisters, and dissenters are wholly rejected from the gender cult, labeled as traitors, and told their trans identity was never valid in the first place.  But the most dangerous aspect of this cult is there is no leader, only recruitment through word of mouth or exposure. Social media is where many young people are meeting individuals who are elbow-deep in gender ideology, completely immersed in and constantly discussing their “unique” identity or sexuality as if it is their singular human trait. Gays Against Groomers has been labeled a traitorous hate group for asking the gender cult too many difficult questions. Thanks to social media algorithms, the more LGBTQ+ content one watches, the more the user is shown. A new cohort of gender-confused youth have thus emerged at an alarming rate. One of the most alarming aspects of this process is the prospect of a young person being lured away from their family mentally as well as physically. All it takes is a young person connecting with one or more individuals online who encourage their new identity and isolation from their family, particularly if that family is asking questions. But depending on their state of residence, a child can also be legally taken from their family if their parents do not accept and affirm their child’s decision to identify as anything other than their natal birth sex.  This is exactly what happened in the case of a teenage girl named Sage. Featured in a documentary  titled Cut: Daughters of the West  by Canadian filmmaker Simon Esler, Sage’s story is a harrowing and concerning tale of warning for families and trans-identifying youth alike. Esler’s film explains that since the advent of social media, the number of girls identifying as boys has increased dramatically, surpassing boys identifying as girls—a demographic that previously constituted the majority of those experiencing gender dysphoria. In a nutshell, comparison has been the enemy of confidence from many young girls growing up today. Unable to meet the impossible glamorized, hypersexualized, and heavily edited version of femininity splashed all over social media, many young girls are now assuming they must be boys if they cannot fit the stereotypical fantasy role presented to them online.  This was the case for Sage, who was so distraught that her grandparents (and current legal guardians) would not accept the idea that she wanted to be a boy that it led to a legal custody battle, during which Sage was trafficked multiple times  while the courts kept her away from her loving home. Upon her return, she reported that her traffickers said they were making more money from trafficking 'trans kids' than from other victims.  Sage, who has years of therapy ahead of her that will never take away her horrific memories of being trafficked, no longer identifies as transgender.  Many children are being relocated from non-abusive homes simply because their parents or legal guardians will not affirm their transgender identity. Others are encouraged to run away, lured by someone on the internet they’ve never met in person. As a result, some of these children are ultimately trafficked and used as sex slaves. In August, a family in Washington DC lost custody of their autistic 16-year-old son after he went to the hospital for a suicide attempt, where he was asked a series of suggestive questions surrounding his gender identity. The boy was placed in foster care with a single mother who had a criminal record, and upon her unexpected sudden death, was relocated to the care of a radical trans activist and Chaplain of a progressive church. In the lawsuit filed by the family, they expressed extreme alarm over their son's social media posts, which were suddenly hypersexual and insistent that he was now a girl. These types of posts are a red flag and could indicate possible or eventual trafficking.  Professional Kidnapper T-shirts It is common knowledge that Child Protective Services (CPS) and the foster care system are full of corruption, financial incentives and unfortunate loopholes that often place children in far worse situations with little to no honest consideration of their wellbeing. In 2007, Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer submitted a report  sounding the alarm on the Department of Child Protective Services. In her report, she discussed a case in which a mother was threatened for her signature to release her children into foster care, where they were ultimately taken from their foster parents and placed with a previously uninterested father in the “adult entertainment” business who had an “escort” girlfriend. The father trafficked the girls to their previous foster parents.  Schaefer feared the foster care system was “broken beyond repair.” A few short years after she exposed CPS, citing a bill called The Adoption and the Safe Families Act (amended in 1997 by Bill Clinton and still stands today) that offered thousands in cash bonuses to states for every child adopted out of foster care, Nancy Schaefer was found dead in what appeared to be a murder-suicide committed by her husband.  Understandably, many are skeptical of the Schaefer’s deaths to this day. We strongly encourage people to read the report . The internet has made life far too easy for predators, who can browse for a victim online, whether through social media posts or even using search engines, which bring up a myriad of young trans escorts. Which of them are lying about their age? Are they willing participants, or are they listed online by their traffickers? The untrained eye can't tell. Gays Against Groomers spoke with a  private investigator , who confirmed that this is a growing problem: “TRANS KIDS” ARE A HOT COMMODITY IN THE CHILD TRAFFICKING NETWORK. Read that again. Many ostracized youth who either choose to run away from home or mentally disconnect from it turn to sex work to make money, particularly if they’re new to an area or aren’t quite old enough for legal work. Historically, transsexuals are notorious for relying on sex work to make a living, and they are at high risk of becoming victims of murder and trafficking. Sex work, also known as prostitution before political correctness softened the term, has become heavily romanticized and encouraged both on and offline. Some online colleges now offer classes on how to run an OnlyFans account, where users can legally sell explicit self-made content under the guise of “financial freedom and empowerment.” Porn sites have a plethora of niche fetish content relating to transgenders, a fetish that has risen in popularity and visibility in recent years. For trans-identifying youth, it is tempting and even easy money.  Consider the push for bills to “decriminalize sex work” on behalf of “transgender rights.” Such legislation would further advance public access to pornography and prostitution. And by now, we know that “gender identity” policies always end up extending to children, who are being encouraged to make adult decisions related to sex and identity through this ideology. The link between gender ideology, prostitution, pornography, and child sexualization should be obvious, assuming one is paying attention.  Herein lies the trap. Young people who are taken from their families or choose to leave before they reach legal age often see “sex work” as a normal and appealing method of achieving independence. These are the youth who are at risk for trafficking, something that does not always require a location change. Many children are trafficked from a single location, sometimes out of their own homes by cruel and desperate parents. And yet we are hearing more and more about children taken from perfectly safe homes who simply want them to wait to decide on their identity until adulthood. Whether they choose it or not, today trans-identifying young people are at a higher risk of being sexually trafficked in a situation they cannot escape.  The dots are easy to connect. A young person is drawn into changing their identity through gender ideology, a cult-like school of thought that rejects questioning, and lured away from their family either through the state or a stranger online that coaxes (or grooms) them into leaving their family to live a transgender life. State systems and traffickers alike would prefer to benefit from this process, which is why many public educators (in state-funded schools) are introducing children to new and confusing sexual concepts to give children the initial nudge into adopting a trans identity and splitting from their families (either legally or illegally). Parents in some states are threatened with loss of custody of their children if they do not comply. The rest is done through peer and online pressure.  To perfect this system, the lower tiers have no idea that they are grooming children for potential trafficking. Educators and allies alike believe they have adopted the new gender-inclusive LGBTQ+ ideology for the sake of empathy, inclusion, and affirmation to “save the trans kids.” But the more youth that identify as trans and post themselves online, the larger the catalog for traffickers becomes.  The more children that cry to be legally separated from their “abusive” non-accepting families, the more money a state can claim by funneling them into the foster care system. And is it a coincidence that these vulnerable children are being encouraged to delay puberty using 'puberty blockers'—the same drugs employed in the chemical castration of sex offenders—ultimately prolonging their prepubescent appearance? Combine this with the fact that the average parent has no control over what their child is viewing on the internet. It creates a predator's paradise.   If we do not work to reel in and repair the damage done by gender ideology, we risk thousands of children experiencing what no child or human being should ever experience: SEX TRAFFICKING.  Transgender Trafficking vs. Sex Trafficking [ Courage Is A Habit ] Why is our government allowing financial incentives to separate children from their families? Why are teachers encouraged to drive a wedge between a child and their family over “gender identity?” Why do schools now conduct surveys that ask children if they consider themselves “transgender?” Why is human trafficking still on the rise? Who are these criminals, and who are they trafficking children to? We hope our readers are asking themselves these questions. This is one of the biggest reasons those of us in Gays Against Groomers do what we do. Our members are regularly contacted by frightened parents who have no idea how to handle their gender-confused child, and they are terrified of the worst-case scenario: separation. These are not abusive parents, they are parents who love and otherwise do everything they can for their children to give them a safe and secure home. They want to know how to talk to their children about what they are going through without scaring them away. But with the possibility of losing custody looming over their heads…what choice do they have?  Gender ideology is teaching these children to have no sympathy for anyone who questions them, and to treat everyone who does not “affirm” them as an enemy. Once the state gets custody of a child, or a child chooses to run away to be with a stranger, there is no telling where they will end up, and very little time to save them from a terrible fate. When we talk about a “hidden agenda,” this is what we mean. Healthy children do not need to damage and confuse their bodies with excessive hormones, blockers, or surgeries before they are mature enough to make decisions on their own. Parents have every right to be aware of and question what their child is going through. And they can help their child make the right decisions for their long-term well-being. No child should be told that their body is wrong and they need to escape their family and change themselves forever to be happy. Without regulation, human traffickers are being supplied with more and more victims every day, and thanks to gender ideology, they have a new and lucrative demographic of vulnerable victims. This is a war on children, and we’re going to end it one way or another.  References  ABC News. (2010, March 27).

Our member, Yvette, delivered an earnest speech to the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education, sharing her concerns about sexually explicit school books and gay representation. She advocated for wholesome library content that portrays people like her in a positive light, as good citizens who contribute to society. We do not feel respected by the filth being distributed in classrooms. It is insulting to suggest this has anything to do with civil rights. Boundaries exist for a reason. We have a voice in this debate because it is being done in our name, and we are not backing down without a fight.      Here is what Yvette had to say:   My name is Yvette Nary, and as a mother, grandmother, long-time Albuquerque resident and out lesbian, I want you to know how offensive it is to claim that books in school libraries with pornographic content represent the LGBTQIA community and experience. When I came out in the 1990s, our critics insisted that homosexuals had bad sexual boundaries with minors. Some parents wouldn’t let their kids visit mine at my house, just in case. We fought that stereotype, only to have APS now include books with overt pornographic content in school libraries in our name. It is an insult to those of us in the LGBTQIA community who live private and dignified lives. Represent the LGBTQIA as teachers, thinkers, scientists, engineers, dancers, artists, as community leaders. Being responsible adults and good citizens is what supports acceptance of differences. What other minority group would you demand to represent to children in school through pornographic materials? Wouldn’t that be racist or sexist? It’s like representing women to children at school via stripping. Let’s use common sense and stop using LGBTQIA inclusion as an excuse to provide children with pornographic content in schools.

Gays Against Groomers supports Rep. Nancy Mace's initiative  to file a bill protecting single-sex  facilities on federal property  across the country. Her move has dropped a legislative bomb, leaving trans activists furious—and frankly, it's long overdue. Rep. Mace's proposed bill seeks to prohibit biological men from using female restrooms, locker rooms, and other single-sex facilities on all federal property. The "Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act" is a critical public policy measure aimed at preserving sex-based protections  for girls everywhere. Women and girls deserve spaces where they are safeguarded from potential harm. Incidents of discomfort and fear stemming from Self-ID policies are all too common. Allowing males in female-only spaces not only compromises privacy but discourages female participation in public life. Women and girls need sex-based protections because of their biology and the unique vulnerabilities tied to their femaleness. We have seen countless instances where these policies lead to violence. On his first day in office, President Biden issued an executive order redefining "gender identity" as a subcategory of sex under laws like Title IX . This move marked a significant setback, but America is committed to challenging and rolling back the gains made by proponents of "gender identity" under the Biden administration. We are fed up with the radical left pushing an agenda that sacrifices women’s safety and privacy to appease a vocal minority. Despite receiving death threats over this bill, Rep. Mace has stood firm. Threatening a congresswoman over legislation that protects women’s spaces only shows the need for such measures. It proves why laws like this are vital.  Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act, 2024  [page one] Raising awareness about how gender stereotypes perpetuate sex-based violence in female-only spaces  is crucial. Allowing males access to female facilities reflects a deeper issue: the desire to control women and children, disenfranchise voters, and deceive the public through a harmful social experiment. "Passing culture" promotes the medicalization of younger and younger individuals, suggesting that children should have their puberty blocked and stunt their natural development. This culture prioritizes aesthetics over the health and well-being of children. Kids given puberty blockers like Leuprolide often face severe complications and chronic pain, with their development stunted to affirm the beliefs of others. The president-elect has repeatedly stated that he holds no animosity toward gay people. Attempts to fearmonger or intimidate us into silence are doomed to fail. It’s appalling that such actions are justified under the guise of representing the “LGBTQ+ community.” Average gay men and women—the normal gays—are uninterested in participating in such erratic lies. Gay people are not under threat from Trump. Instead, the real threat comes from extremists who seek to silence and censor those of us objecting to the transqueer takeover.  Allowing males into female spaces has absolutely nothing to do with gay rights . Even Rep. Nancy Mace, who has championed this legislation, stated that she voted  for the Respect for Marriage Act  twice. This demonstrates that protecting sex-based boundaries in law is not at odds with supporting same-sex relationships. In fact, maintaining consistent sex categories within the legal system strengthens the foundation for safeguarding the rights of people in same-sex relationships. By reinforcing clear and immutable definitions of sex, we protect everyone from policies that erode these necessary distinctions. Progressives have become the real homophobes. Trans activists continue to claim they’re victims of genocide, but it’s clear they use these scare tactics to manipulate the very people they claim to protect. Suggesting that Donald Trump will somehow evaporate the “nonbinary folx” on his first day in office is a paranoid and delusional outlook on life. Queer Marxists are extorting the public into buying into these lies. (New York Times, 1996 ) “Queer” principles never represented the goals of gay and lesbian couples campaigning for basic rights like marriage equality. “Queer” is Marxism in drag. Have you ever met a queer capitalist? Think about it. Law-abiding citizens will no longer stand idly by as men gain unfettered access to female restrooms, locker rooms,  or other spaces where women and girls deserve safety and privacy. Yet, when anyone objects to these “bathroom free-for-alls,” they are unfairly labeled as bigots and hatemongers. Protecting women and children is not a hate crime. Gay people deserve the right to think for ourselves and support policies that align with our personal values, not the propaganda of the queer machine. We refuse to be misled by socialist agitators pushing irrational demands to ignore material reality in favor of ideology. Across the United States and abroad, gay people are standing up. We will not participate in a delusional identity movement that colonizes girls’ spaces, invades boxing rings, and violently assaults women on the world stage. This points to a deeper mental health crisis in our schools, fueled by a system designed to dismantle boundaries in both language and law. Self-ID laws have devastating consequences, allowing sex offenders to claim identities that place them in facilities  with vulnerable girls. In some cases, child rapists are housed alongside children. This is not a drill. It is flat-out wrong to take spaces , activities, or protections once dedicated to females and hand them over to males. The devaluation of femaleness sends a dangerous message: girls who do not conform to stereotypically feminine behaviors should just become boys. Don’t like dolls? You must be a boy. Enjoy sports? Then you must be a boy, too! This logic has extended to girls’ sports leagues, which now include boys. Is actual girlhood valued at all? Increasingly, it seems girlhood is only celebrated when it is performed by men. Take Dylan Mulvaney , for example, who was celebrated by the Biden administration for “100 days of being a girl”—a performance that involved dressing in miniskirts and playing with tampons for an audience that included children. The soon-to-be former Vice President Kamala Harris even sent him a letter of recognition. This is the individual the administration consulted about pediatric sterilization. Take that as you will. If it were up to far-left trans activist politicians like Tim [Sarah] McBride, even "misgendering a child” could land you in legal trouble for sex harassment. McBride, a far-left Democrat socialist backed by the Human Rights Campaign ( HRC ), has spent years campaigning to implement “gender identity” policies that override natal sex in civil law. Weaponizing the law to redefine sex categories subverts the integrity of protections meant to safeguard vulnerable populations. Sex is real, binary, immutable, and it matters. The trans-supremacists who align with McBride claim that ideas like ours are extreme. But language establishes boundaries, and boundaries are essential to law and society. Words create distinctions between male and female, child and adult—distinctions that gender-neutral language seeks to erase entirely. Judith Butler, a key figure in Queer Theory, has openly endorsed the idea that changing culture begins with changing language—a Marxist tactic intended to reshape society itself. This corruption of language is the foundation of this dangerous ideology. Using reality-based terms is, in itself, an act of resistance. We wish trans activists would abandon the push for "gender identity." It no longer resonates with most people and lacks common sense. Trans-identified males do not belong in female-only spaces . Sex-separated spaces, such as bathrooms and locker rooms, exist to ensure privacy and safety. The truth is that the trans movement played a significant role in Democrats losing the 2024 election. Running on a "gender identity" platform that eroded the sex-based rights of women and girls alienated many voters. Gays Against Groomers fully endorses a crackdown on this harmful ideology. A storm is brewing—a storm that will defend America and restore sanity. As for the TI2SIQUEER+ parade (did we get that acronym right?), they do not speak for us. Our mission is to bring back decency to our community and our country. An ideology that endangers society’s most vulnerable is neither fair nor American. It is time to stop accommodating the demands of the gender identity lobby and instead protect the majority who simply want to use restrooms, locker rooms, and other spaces without fear or confusion. No more transgender strippers  on The White House lawn. The only flag that belongs at our nation's capital is red, white, and blue. The United States of America is bringing back decency and giving power back to those who earned it. Let’s get this bill passed and send a clear message: If sex-based rights do not matter, then women do not matter. If women do not matter, society crumbles. Gays Against Groomers stands firmly with Rep. Nancy Mace in the fight to protect women, girls, and sanity on federal property.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is now suing at least two doctors that have violated a Texas law ( SB 14 ) which prevents gender transition, and medical interventions such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgeries for children, Texas Family Project  reported late last month.  One of the doctors being sued is El Paso doctor Hector Granados. He is being sued for giving children between the ages of 12 and 17 cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, as well as falsifying records in an attempt to cover up his crimes. The lawsuit  contains the names of fifteen  patients who allegedly received such interventions by Dr. Granados. If found guilty, Granados would lose his medical license as well as face financial punishment. [ SB 14 ] Paxton filed a similar lawsuit in October against a Dallas-based pediatrician who violated SB 14 . He is being accused of providing cross-sex hormones to at least 21  children, as well as falsifying records. Regarding the lawsuits Paxton said, “Texas is cracking down on doctors illegally prescribing dangerous ‘gender transition’ drugs to children. State law forbids prescribing these interventions to minors because they have irreversible and damaging effects. Any physician found doing so will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”  The Texas Family Project  reported in August that despite the passage of SB 14, multiple sources within Texas Children’s hospital have come forward and revealed that gender transition surgeries for children never stopped and the doctors that do come forward are punished. Dr. Eithan Haim is under federal investigation after he revealed to Christopher Rufo  that Texas Children’s hospital is providing transgender hormones to children despite it being illegal under the new Texas law, The Dallas Express  reported. [Photo courtesy of Texas Values , 2024.] Gender transition and irreversible medical interventions for children have skyrocketed  nationwide in recent years. Here’s the text with corrected grammar: Since 2019, there have been 13,994 child sex change patients, 8,579 child hormone and puberty blocker patients, and 62,682 prescriptions written for child cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, according to Stop The Harm , resulting in over $100 million in claims. So far, 22 states have placed age restrictions on gender transition surgeries. We should ban it nationwide. References  Christopher F. Rufo. (2024, January 10).

When I arrived in Founder’s Park where the Pride Festival was held, I was greeted by loud music while I was still walking across the park, long before I’d even reached the entrance. I would much rather have been trail running than investigating Pride. However, I am glad I did. What I witnessed was beyond my comprehension, especially for the area I live in. Although we are still called “the Bible Belt,” we are anything but. The activities were more reminiscent of an adult nightclub rather than a “family-friendly festival.” I didn’t have to dive below the surface to discover the Tri-Pride festival's agenda. I just had to wait for the drag shows to begin. Yes, drag shows in the middle of the day, in a park, aimed at children. Is that really necessary? Children do NOT belong at Pride! Children do NOT belong at Drag Shows! At the start of the drag show, the announcer said there was going to be nothing but love, regardless of the hostility going on beyond the gates, even though there were no protests that I could find. At this moment in time, the queer community’s “rights” take precedence over everyone else. Under the ugly Progressive Pride Flag, boundaries mean nothing and everyone else in the community is trampled upon. The only ones who are allowed to speak are the cult leaders, but only for the followers who can keep up with their ever-changing rules. The “love” that was shown during the drag show was that of provocative dancing in front of children. The “love” continued as these men greedily took money from children. It was nightmare fuel. Those who scream about how the patriarchy needs to be taken down seem to be comfortable when creepy 50-year-old men dress in women’s clothing, wear wigs, pack on elaborate makeup, then “shake their stuff” in front of children. Those same parents who point fingers against the “patriarchy” are the very ones who encourage their children to participate in this depravity. Any person, male or female, a drag performer or not, should refuse to participate in such displays of sexualization if children are present. The saying, “The show must go on,” should NEVER apply when it involves obscenity and sexualized dancing in front of children. The Gypsy Queens  of the Tri-Cities took that mantra quite seriously The Gypsy Queens are a group of older men who dress in women’s lingerie and put on performances. Their website describes them as being “the premiere traveling entertainment group of the tri cities.” (Gypsy, 2024) Although the events on their website are advertised for 21 and older, the drag queens of the Gypsy Queens did not care that children were present during their show. Just like the Pied Piper, they led children to destruction while adults cheered. Children should never have been allowed to attend these drag shows, but this is what happens when you allow queer corporatism to brainwash parents into believing that it’s okay to bring their children, as long as it’s under the LGBTQAA2S+ umbrella and is listed as “family-friendly.” Shame on everyone who encouraged the children to tip dollar bills to men in lewd attire. The Gypsy Queen entourage should be ashamed of themselves for performing in such a lascivious manner in front of children! There was at least one child there who knew it was wrong. His dad tried forcing him to dance along with the crowd, but the young boy resisted. His father never should have brought him or his sister there to begin with and, at the very least, should have left when he realized his son was uncomfortable watching men dance like strippers in women’s underwear. Tennessee’s Pride Festivals may not be as lewd as the bigger cities, but we are currently headed in that direction. Children’s innocence is at stake. References Costa, M. (2022).

A very disturbing sect of the trans community is pushing the idea that males can breastfeed  or become mothers. Some are even convinced that uterus transplants would give males the ability to give birth. We need to bring light to the mockery this portrays, not only of mothers but, in some cases, children as well. This deviance is spreading across many different facets of society. The idea that "males can be females" is inherently problematic, and mothers—all of whom were born natively and natally female—are rightfully angry, upset, and even scared. They should be. Everything they have worked for is being given to men with a lactation fetish. They want to be mothers so badly that they attempt to breastfeed , talk about being pregnant, and other things that are clearly detached from reality. There is a huge psychosocial phenomenon—a contagion—where children who do not fit into the stereotypical gender norms are being labeled as “transgender and non-binary.” They are not screened by any mental health professionals and self-identify as something which they are not. The real issue lies in the fact that society is then forced to pander to the delusional ideations of whatever anyone believes themselves to be. There has been significant pushback by parents of all kinds—and rightfully so. A lot of the pushback has centered on parental rights—specifically, what parents may or may not do with their own child versus what the school and medical establishment may do behind their backs. We have seen schools and libraries pushing for “trans and LGBTQIA+ literature.” The material is not age-appropriate, meaning it is way too graphic for children of any age. The sexualization of children and the erosion of parental rights are inherently connected. There is a lot of pushback from mothers and fathers against gender ideology, especially when schools and the state intervene in parental rights. This includes situations where children are removed from parents who do not affirm their child’s "gender identity.” Some parents are even taking a 5-year-old child to another state, away from the other parent, to start them on puberty blockers, or the state itself is sending the child out of the country. We are witnessing too much state intervention in family matters for the wrong reasons, while failing to intervene when truly necessary, resulting in horrific acts of violence against innocent lives. The efficacy of milk production  in males is minimal and not nutrient-rich, unlike a mother's body, which is designed to nurture their baby. Male bodies cannot lactate the way that female bodies do. The way men attempt to create artificial breast milk is through pharmaceutical means. These drugs are off-label and dangerous for the baby. A mother’s milk provides immunities that mothers pass to their children through breastfeeding. Now, there is a push by the trans community for males to become mothers, undergo uterine transplants, and breastfeed. “Male breastfeeding” is one of those things that defies reality; this abhorrent behavior is just a fetish. Being a mother is so much more than saying, “I’m a mother!” Motherhood is the very essence of a miracle and a blessing of bringing forth life in such a manner that is beautiful and scary at the same time. This is not to take away from women who cannot get pregnant or give birth. But to say that a male has that potential is the very essence of mocking and replacing mothers worldwide. It is saying that women are lesser, and men are more capable. “You will be forced to accept males as mothers, and you will like it. Otherwise, you are a hateful bigot.”  Do people really not see what is wrong with that? We need to stop filling our children’s heads with this nonsense and tell them the truth: humans cannot change sex, even with all the surgeries, hormones, drugs, wishful thinking, or magical means. And mothers will always be female. References  Irvine, M. (2024, May 2). Ain’t No Such Thing As. . ...Male Breast Milk! (May 25, 2023).

Over the last 6.5 years, we have really seen a rise in those who are identifying as transgender. It is suggested that, according to Samuel Paul Veissière Ph.D. , “all the culturally recognized incidences of pre-modern transgender individuals mentioned above involve natal males who transition to female. In the DSM-5 , prevalence rates of gender dysphoria are estimated at 0.005 percent to 0.014 percent of the population for natal males, and 0.002 percent to 0.003 percent for natal females,” ( Psychology Today - Why Is Transgender Identity on the Rise Among Teens? ). As someone who has researched this topic, these numbers certainly fall in line with what I have found. Rise in Gender Clinic Referrals Transgender individuals are defined as, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), someone “whose gender identity or expression (masculine, feminine, other) is different from their sex (male, female) at birth. “Gender identity” refers to one’s internal understanding of one’s own gender, or the gender with which a person identifies. Gender expression is a term used to describe people’s “outward presentation of their gender.” Social media is a contributing factor. Children who were once labeled as latch-key kids  are now the ones who have children of their own. While social media does have its place in our world, it has created a disconnect. "The internet is a vast space filled with information, misinformation, and disinformation, along with all the negative, positive, and neutral information that is out there. What has happened is that the internet has created a crevasse and divide, not just between parents and children, but within society as a whole, causing this disconnect. Children are disconnected from reality, playing video games, disconnected from reality, and disconnected from their parents, peers, and social connections due to the pandemic. Children are disconnected from school and other social connections that used to be part of everyday life that I had as a child and young adult growing up, suddenly ripped away, especially in the last couple of years. Rise in trans-identification [ [Tang, Annie] ] What this divide has caused for children is that they have lost their place in society, within their peer groups, and within their own communities. They are forced to connect online, where that is the only place they feel they fit in, where they no longer fit into society and feel they are different. These children have been left and abandoned, unintentionally for the most part, to fend for themselves and are expected to thrive in a society that they do not understand, looking for their place in the world. So they start looking outside themselves for understanding, and they find it in the form of people telling them what they think they are. They hear this belief that they are trans (transgender). They hear this term over and over again, day in and day out. The truth is, they were just looking for a place to fit in and finding this group of people who seem like they are just like them. Over the years and through much study, I have seen and heard many occult stories, such as those of Jim Jones, David Koresh, and others. Even people like Charles Manson fit in because these people are some of the most charming individuals imaginable. Where am I going with this? These kids, who are looking for a home and a place where they fit in, hear this idea that they are trans and are charmed by the acolytes of the transgender ideology based on Queer Theory, where they can call themselves anything they like and be accepted as they are. It sounds great! Now that this has moved successfully down this path, they have started pushing for more inclusive ideas, with younger children and parents succumbing to its ideology and charms. It gets worse... This ideology pushes the idea that these children need to have surgery and take drugs to fix them because they are deemed broken and can be fixed by doctors who resemble Josef Mengele and the snake oil salesmen of the pharmaceutical companies. Now we have a new world where children are being harmed because they are charmed by this idea that they are “transgender.” They can walk in and become lifelong patients to doctors and pharmaceutical companies, but no one discusses the mental health of these poor children. What scars are being left behind? I cannot seem to fathom this part of the issue, even with my knowledge, education, life experience, and certifications. I still cannot see past this wall because all I see is the pain continuing in the worst way. How can this be anything other than a cult? A belief system with theological origins based in Queer Theory? Do you think Judith Butler dreamed this is where it would lead, or do you think she intended this path? My heart breaks for these children and what they are being put through because people lack the wisdom to understand the harms they are causing. A 5-year-old child doesn’t know anything unless a parent tells them. The state that is pushing these ideals, ideas, and laws is corrupt and evil, and should be entirely dismantled. Doctors and the medical establishment should have their licenses revoked, and they should be investigated, indicted, prosecuted, and imprisoned for violating their Hippocratic Oaths. It is long past time that parents stand up and take back control of their children from these hordes of vile demons in the schools and state. It’s time to stop wasting tax dollars on a system of indoctrination rather than a system of education in this country. If you want to stop the growth of the gender ideology, you need to get involved in your schools, even if you aren’t a parent. You need to speak out against the wrongs of school boards and teachers who push their political and sexual identities onto children. If enough of us speak out, this will end.

Introduction Puberty blockers, primarily gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHa), have become an integral component of “gender-affirming care” for kids. These medications claim to delay the physical changes associated with puberty and offer adolescents more time to explore their identity before undergoing irreversible physical changes, such as surgery or hormone replacement therapy. However, despite their widespread use, significant questions remain about their long-term efficacy and safety, particularly concerning mental health outcomes. We examined the efficacy of puberty blockers in improving mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and quality of life by comparing findings from clinical studies with placebo-controlled psychiatric trials. Our analysis draws on a broad body of research to determine the relative benefits of puberty blockers in relation to the placebo effect, a well-documented phenomenon in mental health treatments. Literature Review A growing body of literature has evaluated the impact of puberty blockers on adolescents with gender dysphoria. Some studies suggest that puberty blockers alleviate psychological distress by providing time to explore one's identity, while others highlight the physical risks, such as reduced bone density and long-term infertility . Biggs (2020)  studied the relationship between puberty blockers and suicidality in adolescents, arguing that the mental health benefits are overstated and unsupported  by robust evidence. Chew et al. (2018)  conducted a systematic review of hormonal treatments for young people with gender dysphoria, finding mixed results regarding their effectiveness in improving mental health. The mixed results do not justify giving these off-label pharmaceuticals to minors.  Achille et al. (2020)  and Allen et al. (2019)  evaluated quality of life and psychiatric outcomes in adolescents undergoing puberty suppression, presenting modest improvements in some areas but no conclusive evidence  of long-term efficacy. Costa et al. (2015)  and de Vries et al. (2014)  offered insights into the psychological and physical impacts of puberty blockers, suggesting that while these treatments can improve psychological symptoms, their broader mental health effects remain unclear. Gosling (2022) , in "Gender-Questioning Teenagers: Puberty Blockers and Hormone Treatment vs Placebo" , challenged the efficacy of puberty blockers by comparing their outcomes with placebo treatments. Gosling’s data from placebo-controlled trials on depression, anxiety, and general psychological distress in adolescents revealed that placebo effects often mirror or exceed the effects observed in studies of puberty blockers. Methods This analysis uses data from several key studies on mental health, puberty blockers and placebo treatments, focusing on the following measures: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)  for assessing depression. Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS)  for measuring general psychological functioning. Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (QLES)  to evaluate changes in quality of life. Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED)  for assessing anxiety. Cohen’s d was used to calculate effect sizes, a standard method in meta-analyses, to assess the relative effectiveness of puberty blockers and placebo treatments. Results Psychological Functioning Psychological functioning, as measured by CGAS, was examined in several studies. Achille et al. (2020)  and Allen et al. (2019)  reported modest improvements in psychological functioning for adolescents using puberty blockers. Achille et al. (2020)  reported an effect size of 0.52  for psychological functioning. Allen et al. (2019)  found a similar effect size of 0.45  for puberty blockers. In contrast, placebo treatments  for depression and anxiety reported an average effect size of 0.65  in comparator studies. Gosling (2022)  further supported these findings, noting that the psychological benefits of puberty blockers often do not exceed those provided by placebo treatments in psychiatric contexts. Figure 1: Effect Size of Puberty Blockers vs Placebo on Psychological Functioning Quality of Life Quality of life outcomes were measured using the QLES-Q. Studies by Achille et al. (2020)  and Costa et al. (2015)  found some improvement in quality of life after treatment with puberty blockers…but the results were not overwhelmingly positive. = Achille et al. (2020)  found an effect size of 0.25  for puberty blockers in improving quality of life. Costa et al. (2015)  similarly reported some improvement. Placebo treatments , however, demonstrated a more pronounced effect, with studies by Robb et al. (2010)  and DelBello et al. (2017)  reporting an average effect size of 0.42 . Gosling (2022)  argued that placebo treatments often perform as well, if not better, than puberty blockers, raising further doubts about the efficacy of these interventions. Figure 2: Effect Size of Puberty Blockers vs Placebo on Quality of Life . Anxiety Anxiety outcomes were assessed using the SCARED scale. The studies by Singh et al. (2011)  and Kuper et al. (2020)  found no significant difference  between puberty blockers and placebo treatments in reducing anxiety. Singh et al. (2011)  reported an effect size of 0.25  for anxiety reduction in adolescents treated with puberty blockers. Placebo treatments  in psychiatric trials, including those by Correll et al. (2022) , showed a similar effect size of 0.25 , indicating no substantial difference  between the two treatments. Gosling's research supports this view, concluding that the effects of placebo treatments on anxiety are often comparable to those of puberty blockers. Figure 3: Effect Size of Puberty Blockers vs Placebo on Anxiety Depression Depression was measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Several studies, including those by Biggs (2020)  and Singh et al. (2011) , claim that puberty blockers have a modest effect in reducing depression symptoms. Biggs (2020)  found an effect size of 0.55  for depression outcomes with puberty blockers. Placebo treatments, however, outperformed puberty blockers , with studies like Davey et al. (2019)  and Findling et al. (2012)  reporting an effect size of 1.00  for placebo. Gosling   emphasized that placebo treatments generally show larger improvements in depression outcomes, casting doubt on the effectiveness of puberty blockers in reducing depressive symptoms. Figure 4: Effect Size of Puberty Blockers vs Placebo on Depression Discussion The results from this analysis suggest that while puberty blockers seem to provide some benefits in reducing psychological distress, their efficacy does not  consistently surpass placebo treatments in several key mental health domains. Gosling (2022)  raised significant questions about whether the observed effects of puberty blockers are due to the pharmacological action of the drugs or the placebo effect. This view is supported by Biggs (2020)  and Chew et al. (2018) , who argue that the limited evidence base supporting the use of puberty blockers may not justify their widespread use. Moreover, the potential long-term physical risks associated with puberty blockers, such as reduced bone density and fertility (as noted by Klink et al. 2015 ), warrant further investigation. The marginal psychological benefits seen in some studies are not enough to outweigh the risks.  Conclusion Current evidence suggests that puberty blockers do not  consistently outperform placebo treatments in terms of improving mental health outcomes, particularly for anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Given the potential for serious physical side effects, a careful assessment of the role of puberty blockers in “gender-affirming care” is warranted. Figure 5: Comparison of Puberty Blockers and Placebo on Mental Health A comparison graph (Graph 1, 2, 3, and 4 combined) shows the effect sizes of puberty blockers and placebo across four mental health outcomes: Psychological Functioning , Quality of Life , Anxiety , and Depression . Puberty Blockers  are represented by the blue bars. Placebo  is represented by the orange bars. Proper research studies would focus on large-scale, double-blind randomized trials to provide definitive answers about long-term efficacy and safety. This visual comparison in Figure 5 highlights that in most categories, placebo treatments had a higher or comparable effect size . The lack of robust data on the long-term efficacy and safety of puberty blockers, along with their experimental status, raises significant concerns that make it difficult to justify their widespread use.

Multi-media and Comic Con-type conventions have always been seen as places where people could creatively express themselves. They were spaces where creatives and artists could gather, mingle, and share their common interests. Cosplay and media panel events are examples of what you can find at these types of conventions. At some of these conventions, cosplays can range from being intricate to being raunchy. A lot of people wear costumes barely even covering their bodies. It is inappropriate—especially in the presence of minors. One convention, in particular, is notable for this lack of moderation.   Dragon Con  is one of the largest and most popular multi-media conventions, celebrated annually in Atlanta, GA ( DragonCon.org ). It is “the largest multi-media, popular culture convention focusing on science fiction & fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film.” I had the opportunity to attend this year for the first time, and while I was amazed by the creativity of the cosplays, I was less impressed with some of the panels and other activities presented in full view of minors. One such event I attended undercover was a 'Dorian Gray' panel that promoted LGBTUHD4K+ positivity for minors. This panel allowed both minors and adults to be present, and a child was heard crying from the back row. A few notable moments from the panel included a woke lesbian describing how she “wrote a story about two lesbian girls, as minors, who were on the cross-country team together.” The panelist then detailed how, as a minor, she showed it to a trusted teacher who said it was “a great piece of literature.” It was highly disturbing. Another panelist at the event also described she and her friends, as minors, were all OUT AS BISEXUAL in high school and how popular they were for broadcasting and exploring their sexuality. There were women who were nearly nude and only wearing rabbit ears. Some of them had their thongs out in front of kids. The convention supposedly had a dress code where cosplay was to be more moderate before 9 PM in the presence of minors.  After 9 PM, minors were supposed to be kicked out so the raunchy cosplays could return. That in itself was a big fat LIE . I saw plenty  of minors after 9 PM and plenty  of skimpy cosplays before then. There were also a wide variety of “Dragon Con After Dark” BDSM panels where minors were present. Yikes. Dragon Con, although it had its fun share of events, has many problems, notably with the moderation and security, who were extremely lax in enforcing policies meant to protect minors. Two solutions could be implemented to prevent minors from being able to view borderline public pornography: either ban all minors from Dragon Con or actually enforce a dress code before 9 PM. Ensuring that policies are strictly enforced to protect our children should be a top priority for organizers. We need to work together to maintain the integrity and safety of these events.

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” ~ Eric Hoffer  “Live not by lies.” ~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn   I am a sixth generation Georgian who became a gay rights advocate in 1993. I live not far from the dirt road I was born (and raised) on 62 years ago, in a rural county with my husband and our two dogs. We live in a Georgia where we are safe, welcome, and included wherever we go. We have gay friends all over the state, outside of Atlanta, living similar happy lives. I used to be on Georgia Equality’s board of directors. The Human Rights Campaign even gave me its Atlanta humanitarian award a few years back. The reason for my activism was to help create the world that gay men and lesbians are blessed to live in today.  Mission accomplished. It was not easy to get here. I’m old enough to remember the darkest days of the gay rights movement. I was there. I remember my friends who did not make it. We dreamed of dignified lives. That was the focus of our work.  Not everyone shared our dream . While extremist thinking has always existed, the gay movement succeeded  despite the loud and intentionally unhappy radicals, because a larger number of ordinary homosexuals (of all political persuasions) and our friends were the ones writing the checks and making the decisions. That was then; this is now. Today, groups like Georgia Equality  and the Human Rights Campaign claim life for “LGBTQ+” and “queer” people is awful. Activist groups founded and built by gay men and lesbians to fight for our rights have mutated into something entirely different . They now claim, despite achieving every goal on the gay rights checklist, America is somehow worse than it was before that work began. Corporations have pivoted from advocating for same-sex oriented  people to, instead, focus on the “transgender and queer” communities. "Transgender" is now used to describe individuals previously known as transsexuals and transvestites , terms defined in the DSM-5 as gender dysphoria and transvestic disorder. "Queer" can mean anything anyone claims it to be regarding sex (as both noun and verb) and sexuality, including heterosexuals and males identifying as lesbians . These are today’s transqueer activists, who have co-opted the infrastructure of the former gay rights movement. Their goal is to gain social and legal recognition for their ideology by any means necessary. Through cultural and political coercion, their focus is explicitly directed toward children. “Acting as pied pipers of radicalism, they take us all to blind extremes.” Human Rights Campaign  President Kelley J. Robinson testified before Congress in 2023, declaring a “national state of emergency  for LGBTQ+ people.” National emergency? This sounds odd to those of us who remember police raids, AIDS, discrimination, and the military’s witch-hunts.   Ms. Robinson’s dishonest claims stem from transqueer activists’ frustration over states enacting child safeguarding  and parental rights laws that interfere with HRC’s new mission to proselytize children into transqueer ideology. “ Trans   genocide ,” they call it.   With $75 million in annual revenue, HRC’s chicken-little-the-sky-is-falling propaganda campaign is well-funded.   Georgia Equality  similarly—and falsely—claims an “epidemic of hate” exists. Instead of acknowledging and celebrating the obvious improvements in Georgia for gay and lesbian people, they unethically push victimhood as their justification to continue fundraising. Jeff Graham, Georgia Equality’s long-time executive director, is paid $145k a year to fearmonger about Georgia citizens who disagree with transqueer far-left ideas. In an August 2023 Atlanta Journal-Constitution article about Georgians who still oppose same-sex marriage, for example, Mr. Graham insulted them as part of “the most extreme fringes of society.” Pot, meet kettle.   In testimony that same month before a Georgia Senate committee considering child safeguarding legislation, Graham falsely claimed his constituents face increased risks of suicide  and violence because people disagree with Georgia Equality’s new agenda.  This form of emotional blackmail  is a common transqueer intimidation tactic: “do as we say, or the children will hurt themselves.”   What Georgia Equality does not talk about is the suicide  rate among post-operative transgender adults being 19 times higher than the general population. They don’t tell the children  this part, though. “They know how to tear down, but not how to rebuild.” Dishonesty and divisiveness are the stock-in-trade of today’s transqueer activist racket because it keeps the money flowing. Georgia Equality’s annual revenues have more than doubled since 2015, surpassing $2 million.   Few of these big donors gave a single penny back when we had real battles to fight. Today, left-wing virtue signaling drives them to fund the brainwashing of vulnerable children, consequences be damned.   During the gay rights movement, we often had to defend against accusations that we were targeting children. Today, transqueer activists spend massive amounts of money doing exactly that—targeting children. The Trevor Project , for example, had annual revenues of around $5 million five years ago. Today, they  stand at $84 million. This is a for-profit industry built on manufacturing victimhood. The transqueer fraud is laid bare in a new book, The Queering of the American Child: How a New School Religious Cult Poisons the Minds and Bodies of Normal Kids , by Logan Lansing with James Lindsey. The book is about the sinister roots of the recent mass effort to push sex, “gender,” and sexuality in schools. “District administrators, teachers, and even librarians are obsessed with pushing inappropriate topics onto kids, all in the name of fostering “inclusion.” Children today learn they were “assigned a sex at birth” and can change their sex or “gender” at will. Kids are no longer learning to read, write, or do math, but they are learning how to be “radical gender” activists. Meanwhile, school districts keep parents  in the dark, hiding critical information about the health and well-being of their children from them.” The book cites another by David Halprin from 1995, “Saint Foucault,” for the definition of Queer: “Unlike gay identity, which, tough deliberately proclaimed in an act of affirmation, is nonetheless rooted in the positive fact of homosexual object-choice, queer identity need not be grounded in any positive truth or in any stable reality . As the very word implies, “queer” does not name some natural kind or refer to some determinate object; it acquires its meaning from its oppositional relation to the norm. Queer is by definition whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant. There is nothing in particular to which it refers. It is an identity without an essence .” In other words, “queer” is make-believe psychobabble. Nihilism. “ Queer ” is why Georgia Equality and the Human Rights Campaign defend school libraries  having sexualized  material. “Queer” is why Georgia Equality and HRC defend drag  queens “ reading ” to children . “Queer” is why they claim men  can breastfeed . It is why they say some people are both sexes, neither sex, or able to change their sex at will. “ Queer ” is why Georgia Equality and HRC claim “trans healthcare for kids” is “ medically  necessary,” “evidence based,” and “lifesaving” despite the absence of reliable evidence to back it up. “ Queer ” is why they believe it is okay to remove a 13-year-old girl’s healthy breasts. They ignore the heartbreaking stories of 55,000 members of a Redditt   detransitioner  group, made up of mostly young lesbians and gay males. Detransitioners  are provided with ZERO  resources. NONE. “ Queer ” is why Georgia Equality and the HRC say it’s acceptable for males to steal scholarships and sports  from females. It is why lesbians are prohibited from having their own spaces and why it is considered okay for men to assault and impregnate  women in prison. “ Queer ” is also why Georgia Equality and the HRC endorse activism by tantrum— intimidation , coercion, and threats—as acceptable tactics. It’s why they believe government schools should be able to “transition” children without parental consent and why they believe parents should lose custody  of their kids for opposing gender ideology. “Queer identity need not be grounded in any positive truth or in any stable reality.” Genderqueer activists propagandize, proselytize, and groom. They groom children’s minds to believe in the make-believe—fake identities like “nonbinary,” fake genders like “aerogender” and “genderqueer,” fake sexualities like “pansexual” and “demisexual,” and fake pronouns  like “ze/zir/zirself.”   They support poisoning children’s bodies with dangerous experimental medicines and mutilating cosmetic surgeries, creating a lifetime revenue stream for Big Pharma  and the transqueer medical industry . They leave us with no values  and take us with them into the complete void. The Human Rights Campaign and Georgia Equality are trying to “ reimagine ” reality through a transqueer “revolution.” In other words, the gay rights movement was not enough; now, domination is the goal, and they are using vulnerable children as human shields to achieve it.   I remember what it feels like to grow up knowing you are different and struggling to understand why. I am grateful that the world I grew up in during the 1960s and 70s has become vastly more accepting.   For these reasons, I speak out against the war on children. People of good faith need to stand together and—loudly—raise our voices against this predatory and unethical ideology that is harming children.   Georgia Equality and the Human Rights Campaign are on the wrong side of history.

Male athletes have stolen over 1,055 trophies, medals, and titles from female athletes! New York's Prop 1 is not about “equality”—it is a radical, dangerous proposal that would fundamentally dismantle the fabric of our state. It seeks to establish a so-called "constitutional right" for biological males to invade girls' sports on the basis of “gender identity." Prop 1 robs girls of scholarships, jeopardizes their safety, and hands their well-deserved awards and trophies to boys who did not earn them. It is not hateful to say that girls deserve their own sports. Allowing biological males to compete is a slap in the face to every girl who has trained her whole life for a shot at success. Girls are getting HURT at school by being forced to compete against male students. School sports should not be a safety hazard. How many more girls need to be brutalized before enough people stand up and say that MALES do not belong in girls' sports? There has never been a more aggressive assault on girls' sports and sex-based rights in New York. This is an attack on children and their families, and we must go all out to defend their rights. Our New York Chapter took to TIMES SQUARE for the VOTE NO ON PROP ONE rally. Amaya and the team gave speeches to educate and inspire New Yorkers to take action to protect parental rights, child safety, and SAVE GIRLS' SPORTS! Here is Amaya’s speech: From parents finding out their child is socially transitioning in school behind their back, like the New York mother Jennifer Vitskaksi, to losing medical authority over their child for not supporting their transition, like with Denis Hannon, to every parent's worst nightmare of losing custody of their child and ultimately forever, like the tragic story of Abigail Martinez in California. In a Prop 1 world, it would be nearly impossible for a parent to fight for their child, only making these horror stories even more common. The parent-child relationship is the most sacred. As a society, we should be creating laws that help foster this sacred relationship instead of making laws that help destroy it. My sister's experience is not a unique one. Children since the dawn of time have gone through some form of identity-based issue during puberty, with a study showing that over 80% grow out of that phase. There once was an unspoken societal rule to let kids be kids and go through this process without much adult interruption. But now, in this gender-ideologically driven society, we are hyper-focusing on a fleeting stage of human development. We are taking it as far as creating laws like Prop 1, one that allows children to make permanent, life-altering decisions during the short stage of their life. Transitioning is a life-altering adult decision in which children do not have the brain capacity to grasp the consequences of that decision fully. With the growing number of mental and physical consequences of children transitioning, we need laws that protect children from potentially self-destructive choices and not allow them to make them under the guise of their new civil rights. From legally establishing the gender guidelines that allow school officials to hide a child's identity from their parents, to allowing that child to transition without the parents' consent, to punishing parents who do not fall in line, tactics that were once associated with child predators are now being used by our lawmakers under the guise of preventing discrimination and creating a more inclusive society. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Regardless of the intent to stop discrimination, we must recognize the path we are on if the Equal Rights Amendment passes. We must protect parental rights. Protect the children of New York. Vote NO on Prop 1.
