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.

Tennessee is holding Pride Festivals to celebrate the “queer” community. Why are there still Pride celebrations going on in October? Nowadays, Pride seems to be a year-long event where queer people and their allies of all ages come together to scream and whine about their oppression, while living out their sexual fantasies in front of children. Granted, pride festivals in Tennessee do not seem to have the wild flare of nudists and dramatics of Satanists that other Pride festivals boast about; however, there are still reasons to be alarmed about any Pride event, no matter the location – even in the heart of the Bible belt.  Don’t get me wrong. I am proud. I am proud to be a Christian. I am proud to be raised in Tennessee. I am proud to be American. I am proud to be part of Gays Against Groomers. I am proud to stand up and fight for children and their safety! However, I am not proud to be associated with “Pride.” I am not proud of what pedophiles and genderqueer ideologues are doing to our children. I am not proud of the pride festivals we are seeing in Tennessee. The event boasts of being family friendly : “Bring the whole family and enjoy fun-filled activities, games, and entertainment in our Kids Zone. From face painting to interactive games, there’s plenty to keep the little ones entertained while you soak up the festival atmosphere.” When I attended the Franklin Pride Festival, it was much tamer than other places and nothing seemed overtly sinister. Parking was in a giant field and, in order to enter the free festival, you had to go through one of two lines where a security guard would run a metal detector over you. The lines were divided into male and female.  Did they enforce this? Well, when it came to drag queens, they did not. Security let them through the female line each time. Each drag queen wore raunchy costumes that women generally only reserve for adult Halloween parties.  Drag queens are male performers who dress and act like caricatures of women. On the opposite side, drag kings are female performers who dress and act like caricatures of men. Both can be enjoyable to watch, in the right setting, without children present.  It was a cold, rainy day during the festival in Franklin, but that didn’t stop the drag queens from strutting their stuff barely wearing any clothing…in front of children. Some of the children were even dressed in furry gear. It was highly disturbing. The definition of a furry or anthropomorphic animal enthusiast is surprisingly absent on “queer” websites that boast of using “all-inclusive” queer language. However, even elementary school children know about furries and dress as furries now. It is sinister. Dressing up and playing pretend is a normal part of childhood. But children are being pressured to dress up in kink gear and are completely unaware that they are wearing fetish outfits. Furries or anthropomorphic animal enthusiasm is trying to creep its way under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, and furries are now embraced at pride festivals. In the correct setting, costume wearing is acceptable, normal, and even encouraged. Allowing children to obtain a furry persona, however, is dangerous. Since furry  personas can be any age, it gives pedophiles access to children. Children dressed as furries were not the only concern. Upon entering, a man could be heard giving a “speech” to a nonexistent crowd. He was passionate about stopping the trials and tribulations that face the “LBTQAIA2STTQF+ youth” today and how we can stop the hate together. There is nothing hateful about wanting to keep kids safe. In the middle of the festival, there was a family play tent with games and a bubble machine to tempt families to bring their children. Regardless of the temptation, parents, leave the children at home! On the outskirts of the festivals stood a teen lounge: The Wilco Iris Teen Lounge. This was especially odd, as it was away from all the other booths. The lounge was designed for comfort. There were rugs, chairs, and couches. No teens, at least not at the time. There were, however, two adult women “guarding” the “lounge.” They allowed me to glance around, at first. It was clear that adults were not allowed there. It was supposedly a “safe space” for teens. The group is facilitated by adults, but allegedly run by children. They are an organization of teenagers who meet regularly, even having their own, separate prom. The space was described as a place where teens can just “be themselves.” On the surface, this seems harmless. However, below the surface lies something far more worrisome. I eventually met two young ladies who “went through the program.” Those were their words. When asked what they liked about it, one responded with a vague, “It was fun.” Other responses were just as vague: “Oh, it gave me a safe space to be me.”; “I learned what it meant to be queer and I met other queer people.”; “I liked the prom.” That should give everyone pause. When digging into their website , you will discover their true motive: indoctrinating teenagers into a cult. They even admit to teaching teens how to promote queer ideology so adults can then pass it on to children and make children easier to brainwash. Not only are they promoting Marxist activism, they are also running a type of “underground library.” They are circumventing the Tennessee Public Library Service Agreement by providing teenagers with obscene books. The Tennessee Public Library Service Agreement has rules listed on page five under “Collection Development Policy.” The Pride festival was breaking the following rules listed in the agreement: ● ‘No funds received are used to purchase, nor will the library otherwise acquire, material that constitutes “child pornography,” is “pornographic for minors,” or is “obscene;”’ ● Books and materials that contain sexual themes or content are reviewed by the public library independently for age-appropriateness and cataloged accordingly – even if this overrides the age-appropriateness recommended by the publisher ● ‘The library has a written, publicly accessible library materials challenge policy that (a) defines which parties may dispute or challenge the library’s age-appropriate designation on materials, with such definition, at a minimum, including a parent or guardian of a minor within the library district, (b) defines the process by which a materials challenge can be initiated, and (c) provides for the results of any such dispute or challenge to be disclosed in the public library’s official Board of Trustee minutes.’ This is particularly alarming, because teenagers as young as twelve are gaining access to adult books with mature and sexual material in them.  The books are distributed one of three ways: “1) Books can be picked up in a discrete, no-contact, central location in Williamson County, 2) A Wilco Iris student leader can deliver your book to you at school, or 3) We are happy to ship the book to you free of charge.” (WILCO Library, 2024) Each book has a trigger warning set up by the CHILDREN. The adults did not even see fit to warn these children that they could encounter triggering or inappropriate themes in the books. Trigger Warnings: 5 books have a trigger warning of pedophilia   8 books have a trigger warning of rape 26 books have a trigger warning of sexual content 5 books have a trigger warning of torture 10 books have a trigger warning of animal death 8 books have a trigger warning of sexual assault 7 books have a trigger warning of child abuse Other trigger warnings include: suicide, suicidal attempt, bigotry, violence, self-harm, homophobia, etc. “Two Boys Kissing” by David Levithan has a trigger warning of pedophilia and sexual content; “Under the Whispering Door” by TJ Klune has a trigger warning of sexual content) Since adults allegedly facilitate Wilco, then why are they allowing these books to be sent in such secretive manners, unless they have an ulterior motive?   On the surface, the Franklin, TN Pride Festival seemed to be tame, but delving beneath the surface, it has proven to be anything but. And they are gearing up to do it all over again this October.  References:  PFLAG National Glossary. ©PFLAG 2024. All Rights Reserved.  https://pflag.org/glossary/   Safer Schools. (2023).

“Let's acknowledge the incredible power of literature as a tool for learning and empathy. Books open doors to new worlds, they enlighten us, and they nurture understanding across divides.”   - Palace Leavitt , Gays Against Groomers How do you know that the book on your child’s school reading list is safe and age-appropriate? The school board and teachers certainly wouldn’t allow your child to read inappropriate material…right? Think again. A few months ago, a parent who believed that teachers had his children’s best interests in mind found out otherwise, and he and his family have been paying the price for it ever since. Carlos found out that his 11-year-old son had to read a transgender book called My Shadow is Pink  by Scott Stuart, to a kindergartner. This book is about being transgender and not fitting into your body as a child. The California school was using older children to spread gender ideology to young children. But that was just in California…right? Let’s take a look at some of the books found and promoted in libraries, schools, children’s YouTube channels, drag queen story hours, politicians, etc. Reading programs, such as the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten , American Library Association’s (ALA) Rainbow Book Month ™, book suggestions for TransKids, and the Association for Library Service to Children DIA the book lists can seem safe or overwhelming for parents and often children are left to their own devices with book choices. As long as children are reading, it doesn’t matter what kind of book they are reading…does it? It shouldn’t. However, there is a modern-day book burning occurring. Historically, libraries were destroyed by conquerors in order to erase the culture and history of the conquered. Gender Queer Ideologists have compared concerned parents, guardians, and even Gays Against Groomers, to those who want to burn books.  The desire to ensure children are not exposed to pornographic material is not the same as book burning, book banning, or censorship. There has to be laws in place to protect the innocent. That is what laws are intended to do, otherwise, we’d have an uncivilized, lawless society. In fact, the ALA's website on book banning admits that their research is faulty and biased: “The information in these resources is compiled from news reports, individuals, libraries, schools, and other organizations about challenges to materials and services. OIF does not always track the progress or eventual outcome of each censorship attempt reported to it, nor can it assure that data items are consistent across each report.” (ALA Banned, 2024). Furthermore, the ALA refuses to share their database, knowing it is not statistically valid. Yet, it is widely quoted and used by libraries and politicians to push their narrative: “Because the censorship database does not have the statistical validity demanded by many social scientists and researchers and may be vulnerable to misinterpretation and misuse, we must deny any request asking OIF to share raw data” (ALA Banned, 2024). Radical queer activism can be seen as a modern-day book burning because it seeks to disrupt and erase culture, history, and even biology. It is rooted in Marxism and Communism. At its core, queer theory seeks to create chaos. Flooding libraries, schools, and social media with this ideology, especially in children's books, serves to erase history, culture, and censor innocence. The book Camp  by L. C. Rosen is about a sixteen-year-old named Randy who goes to a summer camp for queer teens. He enjoys theater and makeup but is willing to change himself to make Hudson, a masculine teenager who only dates other masculine boys, fall in love with him. However, young adult books like this are intended for children as young as 12 years old. Your pre-teen will be exposed to descriptions of sex between two underage boys:   I’m already hard—I have been since the moment I heard him take off his shorts. First blow job. That’s happening now. This is not how it happens in porn. I grab his hair with both my hands. Moments have no meaning, time-wise, until I can feel that I need to stop him, or else ask him if he’s a spitter or a swallower. I’m not super sure how to do this, so I just open my mouth as wide as I can and go as far as I can. I’m surprised by the taste. My first time giving a blow job. “I want you in me,” he says. “Let’s start with your finger.” I hold out my hand, and he opens a packet of lube onto his hand and mine, then he reaches behind himself. He smiles and turns onto his stomach so I can watch him lube everything up and push his own finger into himself. He sighs deeply, then pulls it out. “You,” he says, reaching for my lubed hand. Carefully, I push my finger into him. He stops me after a minute, pulling my hand out. “More lube,” he says. “Now in and out,” he gasps. I follow his instructions, moving my finger as he makes noises that make every part of me stand on end. At his instruction, I curl my finger slightly, and the noises grow louder. “Two fingers now.” He slowly lowers himself, grabbing my body and guiding me, easing me into him. At first, the tightness is so intense it almost hurts. “Oh yes,” he says, and starts moving up and down on me.  (Rosen, pp. 338-343, 2020) Middle-grade fiction, intended for children ages 8 to 12, has increasingly included such themes. Alex Gino’s books, George  and Melissa , introduce young readers to concepts surrounding transgender identities. These books suggest that children’s parents may not understand them, while other adults who affirm their identities do. Sound familiar? In one scene from George , the school principal, Principal Maldonado, explains to George’s mother that she must affirm her child after George takes on the role of Charlotte in the school’s production of Charlotte’s Web . When George’s mother expresses hesitation, the principal whispers to George that her office is always available. The underlying message suggests that parents who do not affirm their child's identity are out of touch, and children should seek guidance from other adults instead. These books also imply that if a boy displays traditionally feminine traits or engages in activities stereotypically associated with girls, then he must be a girl. Books like Gino’s and others, such as Just Lizzie  by Karen Wilfrid, drive a wedge between children and their parents, conveying the message that parents won’t understand, and thus children should seek validation elsewhere. Picture books targeting children ages 4 to 8 introduce concepts like sadomasochism, drag queens, and critical social justice. Grandad’s Pride  by Harry Woodgate, for instance, includes illustrations of men in leather bondage gear kissing, with slogans like “Trans Rights Now,” mastectomy scars, and signs that say, “BREAK THE CIS-TEM.” In the story, a young girl named Milly organizes a Pride parade after discovering a Pride flag. Her grandad explains that Pride is a celebration of diversity, respect, and equality. This  is the kind of “wholesome” content we're being told should be accessible to children: Together: First Conversation About Love  is another age-inappropriate book geared towards children. From the very beginning, children as young as 0 to 3 years old are introduced to "pronouns," as the authors' and illustrator's pronouns are listed on the inside cover of the book. The authors' note, also on the inside cover, explains that this is a queer-affirming book about queer love: "This queer-affirming book starts the conversation about what healthy love looks and feels like, and all the ways we love, have relationships, and make families." Even if you skip the authors' note and don't immediately realize that you are reading your child a "queer-affirming" book intended to influence their understanding of gender and sexuality, the messaging soon becomes clear. The book includes phrases and illustrations such as: "There are lots of different ways grown-ups can choose to show this kind of love to each other, like going on a date or kissing on the lips"; "I'm a man who loves other men - I'm gay"; "We're lesbians!"; "I can love people of any gender - I'm queer"; and "I'm a man who loves women - I'm straight." At the end of the book, there is a "Continue the Conversation" section that provides guidance on topics like sexual development, showing love, grown-up relationships, queer love, challenges in love, nurturing healthy relationships, resisting heteronormativity, and building a loving world. Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott explain in their book, The Canceling of the American Mind , that a “new generation of employees in the publishing world seem exceptionally comfortable assuming the role of ideological gatekeepers” (p. 236, 2023). In Silenced in the Library , Zeke Jarvis states that the struggle with children and young adult books is due to the “unclear nature of who has the authority to make decisions about what children read.” (p. xxi, 2024).

In May of 2011, Jane and John Doe filed a lawsuit for their child, " Susan Doe ," suing the Orono School Department, School Union 87, Regional School Unit 26, and the Superintendent of the Orono School Department. The suit claimed the school and superintendent were in violation of MRS Title 5 ( §4602 ) which prohibits discrimination  on the basis of “gender identity” in an educational setting, along with an alleged violation of 5 M.R.S.A. ( §4553 ) prohibiting aiding and abiding in unlawful discrimination .  The lawsuit further explains that, Susan Doe socially transitioned at school in 2007, where the school agreed to call them by she/her pronouns and use a new, socially feminine name. The act of the school obliging to change Susan's name and pronouns was, in essence, the school agreeing that this child was now a female, even though humans cannot change sex. Susan was therefore allowed to use the girls’ restroom as an attempt to assimilate within the opposite sex category. That school year, "Susan" was allegedly followed into the girls’ bathroom by a male student, which sparked local controversy, putting the media in a frenzy.  Due to social pressure, the superintendent terminated Susan's ability to use the girls’ restroom. The district agreed to allow Susan to use either the boys’ restroom or the staff restroom, whichever was preferred. Susan's parents claimed in the lawsuit, that Susan was now ostracized, segregated and without support, causing Susan "extreme emotional distress.” More notably, and arguably more importantly, the lawsuit goes into great detail about a "male student" who was stalking and harassing Susan. This male student followed Susan around the school, calling Susan a "faggot" and intimidating them. This male student chased Susan in public and bullied them in and out of school. According to the lawsuit, this male student would seek Susan out the entirety of the day…simply to harass them. He would even go as far as standing outside of the bathroom stall that Susan was using to watch Susan use the bathroom. It was a gross violation of privacy overall. The school then adopted an "eyes on" policy, requiring Susan to be escorted throughout the school by a teacher. As one could imagine, this "eyes on" policy largely stigmatized Susan and caused obvious social issues. Susan was in middle school during this time frame. This is how the "safety of trans girls in the bathrooms" talking points were established. This story, and the disgusting bullying that was not addressed, is the same story that is being verbally regurgitated by the TRA's in order to convince the public that “trans girls” need to use the girls’ restrooms for their explicit safety and to avoid harassment. You may have convinced yourself that bathroom-sharing is the right thing to do…especially back in 2011, where most people did not know anyone who identified as transgender. Being transgender was so rare at that time that this bill didn't affect the vast majority of school-aged children in the United States. And then the social contagion went mainstream. There are millions  of children and young people identifying as trans . With the skyrocketing amount of children self-identifying as a different gender, the bathroom debate has once again taken storm. In an attempt to avoid lawsuits and to keep themselves from losing valuable school funding, schools across the nation adopted a “ transgender  bathroom policy,” allowing students to use not only the restroom, but also the locker rooms, with the sex they choose to identify with. California  recently passed a bill  requiring schools  to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom specifically for non-binary students or students who feel like they are neither boy nor a girl. School districts in Fairfax , Virginia have gone as far as adding policies to their handbooks explaining how using a "deadname" (birth name) or "misgendering" someone will lead to discipline. Senate Bill No. 760   It seemed like the 2011 lawsuit set the table and the rest of the states were now expected to “Protect Trans Kids." That was until it hit the mainstream and schools started to be challenged by parents, women, and girls who stood up for their right to privacy and modesty. A prime example is what happened in Loudoun County , Virginia. A male  student who identifies as "gender fluid" sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl in a high school bathroom . The perpetrator was then simply moved to another school in the district…where he then assaulted  another girl. He was finally convicted of both attacks and is now in a mental health facility. The family  is suing for $30 million . Jane Doe spent two weeks hospitalized from the attack  and subsequently received death threats and harassment from her peers. Jane Doe, who was the victim  in the attack , had to file a restraining order to keep herself safe. In New Mexico, a 12-year-old was raped in the bathroom at school by a trans-Identified classmate. The girl was too afraid to tell the school for fear of being labeled a bigot. The trans-Identified student then assaulted two more girls who also did not speak up. These policies are creating a culture of fear which is silencing victims. In Oklahoma  and California, male trans identifying students have physically assaulted girls in their school bathrooms. The male in the California incident had been reported before. He "had a habit" of flashing girls in the restrooms and locker rooms. In Wisconsin , a trans -identified student purposely showed his genitals  to freshman girls. These girls were forced to see a penis at 14…while at school. Most girls have never seen a naked man at that age, the ones that have are likely to be victims of trauma.  Our daughters are being raped and sexually harassed by the same people the district is claiming to protect. In an attempt to mitigate the situation, schools have started opting for creating entirely new bathrooms. In Edwardsville  Illinois, the school  district is spending 6.8 million  tax dollars to expand the schools by 8,000 square feet to install these new restrooms . Each stall will be fully enclosed and equipped with a locking mechanism. According to the Trevor Project , 1 in 5 transgender and non binary young people have supposedly attempted suicide. The corporation also claims that nearly 60 percent of these youth who wanted mental health services were not able to receive them. Symptoms of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation have all trended upward since 2020, despite the rapid acceptance of trans people, including the ability to get "gender affirming care" covered under Medicare and being able to medically transition in some places without parental consent.  The Trevor Project The Australian Journal of Psychology published a systematic review  of studies of children aged 2-12 who were diagnosed with gender dysphoria . The study found that the median  age of children displaying gender dysphoria who were seeking treatment is age 8. The study also asserts that children have no legal authority to provide informed consent to medical procedures. Most importantly, the study states, "The core symptoms of gender dysphoria in childhood rarely exist in isolation; more commonly the symptoms are exacerbated by psychosocial stressors and psychiatric disorders." It is disingenuous to assume that simply denying a child access to the girls’ facilities will cause the child to commit suicide. And sure, one could argue that "validating" a child's dysphoria might cause some short-term relief for the child…but at what expense? Rampant mental health issues are not being addressed. Wouldn't it be better to address the mental health comorbidities so children are able to face adversity without resorting to suicide? Schools usually have their hands tied around their backs for what they can and cannot do to help. There are hazardous policies being put in place that favor the perpetrators’ mental health issues over the victims’ distress from bullying. We just recently learned that a 12-year-old girl was brutally bludgeoned  by a mentally disturbed trans-identifying classmate. The traumatized students recalled watching blood  explode from the child's head and sat in horror  as the beating took place. The perpetrator had a known “hit list” of students they wanted to murder. Concerned parents reported to the school staff that an incident was likely and that their children needed help. Unfortunately, their concerns were neglected. The student was expelled after multiple violent attacks on classmates…including threatening other children with a knife. Parents were outraged about the lack of action taken to keep this mentally disturbed child away from their kids. Allowing Susan Doe into the girls’ restroom did not address the true issue – bullying. The bully should have been suspended from school and charges should have been filed. The solution for Susan Doe was not using a separate restroom…it was to address the harassment and bullying. If the bully had been penalized, Susan Doe would not have needed to seek shelter in a private female area – nor would they have needed a teacher to escort them around the school, further ostracizing them. The true tragedy of this entire issue is the root cause of the "danger" is not being addressed. Children are bullied everyday, sometimes to the point of suicide. The same issues of bullying, lack of protection for victims, lack of prevention, lack of support, and allowing a dangerous environment has still not been rectified, despite new “LGBTQIA+ laws” being put in place year after year. The problem persists and will continue to persist regardless of what bathrooms are used. That’s because…it was never really about bathrooms.  Policies that prioritize the safety of all students must be put into place. References 6ABC. Digital Staff, Thomas, T., & Smith, B. (2024).

Cutting parents out of their children's lives and urging kids to keep secrets from them will never lead to anything good. AB 1955, known as "The Safety Act," was introduced by the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus. Unsurprisingly, Senator Scott Weiner was part of that body. AB 1955 claims to keep children safe, but it does the exact opposite. It allows children to be socially transitioned at school without parental knowledge. Depending on the district, laws like AB 1955 could even lead to schools secretly giving breast binders to girls once their parents drop them off at school. This is a direct attack not only on parental rights but also on the wellness of these children. Social transition is a very intense psychosocial intervention that often leads directly to irreversible medical harm. After Samuel's passionate speech, the Huntington Beach council passed the "Parents' Right to Know" ordinance in a 4-3 vote.  As of now, Huntington Beach is the only city in California countering Governor Newsom's AB 1955! This is why we put so much effort into speaking out against the war on children. Speaking out works. Here is Samuel's speech: Growing up gay, I just want to say that what we are talking about here... it is not homophobic to not want to associate with legislation that promotes faculty teaching children how to keep secrets from their parents. It is not homophobic to pass an ordinance rejecting the unconstitutional provisions of AB 1955. It is not homophobic or transphobic to hold the principle that people, including parents, are innocent until proven guilty. AB 1955 assumes that all parents can’t handle information regarding their own children. Listen, the concept that AB 1955 protects children from neglect and other abuse is a farce.  We already have these laws on the books. And the faculty should know this, as mandated reporters. If you suspect something or see something, you report it to the proper authorities for a proper investigation. I encourage this council not to waver in your duties to uphold the law and our Constitution, despite the heckling of some of the harlequins that you will hear tonight, for sure.

Keller ISD unanimously approved a new policy at its school board meeting in August, ruling that staff must use the pronouns listed on the child’s birth certificate, regardless of what the child may wish to be called. If a student wishes to use a different name or pronoun, staff will be required to notify the parents within 24 hours of the student’s request and parents will be required to provide written consent before the school records can be changed, the Dallas Express  reported. The new rules would also apply if a student asks to use a bathroom or locker room of the opposite gender.  After Keller ISD received some pushback for “discriminating against LGBTQ students,” including some backlash from the ACLU, the school stood firm and said that the policy revisions “are focused on the fundamental rights of parents to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of their children,” WFAA  reported. Several students did speak out, with one claiming that “I and many other queer students that you’re supposed to protect are suffering because of your decisions.” One parent, Mary Anne Weatherred, who has teenagers in the district, claimed that students “find school to be a space where they can use a different name, a different pronoun and figure out who they are.” The new policy is an update to the original policy which was introduced last summer when the board of trustees voted 5-to-0 with one absentee that stated “district staff, educators, and other district employees shall not promote, encourage, or require the use of pronouns that are inconsistent with a student’s or other person’s biological sex as it appears on the individual’s birth certificate or other government issued record.” The district also ruled that no employee or other student would be compelled to “refer to students in any manner that would violate the speaker’s constitutionally protected rights.” The board decided then that the school will “maintain separate restrooms” based on biological sex , but will allow for accommodations for student’s that are “seeking privacy” and would allow the student to use a separate bathroom, The Texan  reported. The decision comes just weeks after the board adopted a resolution denouncing the Biden administration’s change in Title IX , which would alter the language from “sex” to also include “gender identity,” allowing biological males to compete in female sports. The board slammed the change, claiming that under the new terms, biological girls and women would lose legal protections. Board President Charles Randklev said on Facebook  that “We are committed to protecting female students in our district”, KERA News  reported. Despite the outcry from organizations like the ACLU, along with numerous students and parents, requiring parents to be notified if their child wishes to identify as the opposite gender is not  discriminatory. There is nothing discriminatory about saying that biological boys should use the boys' bathroom and that boys should not be allowed to share a bathroom with girls, for the safety of the girls. The changes to Title IX do nothing to protect children, Gays Against Groomers stands with the Keller ISD board in their fight to protect children.  References  Dr. Charles Randklev, Keller ISD Board of Trustees, Place 6.

California’s Joey Macasieb has been raising hell on a bill that would violate the 14th amendment and divide California families, and he doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Here's what he’s had to say so far: Gays Against Groomers is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization consisting of gays, lesbians, and others in the community who oppose the sexualization, indoctrination, and mutilation of children under the guise of radical “LGBTQIA+” activism. We want to express our full support for the Ordinance proposed by Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark. Contrary to claims made by opponents, this Ordinance will not  adversely affect the LGBTQIA+ community. AB1955 violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees parents or legal guardians’ sole authority over their children. The notion that this bill is meant to protect children from punishment or ostracism by their parents is misleading. Teachers and staff are already mandated reporters ; if they suspect a parent or guardian is harming or may harm a child due to the child's identity, they are legally required to report these concerns to the appropriate authorities. AB1955 effectively enables school districts to act as both guardian and judge, presuming parental guilt until innocence is proven, which contradicts state and federal laws. The claim that AB1955 protects a child's privacy is flat out misleading. While privacy is important, it cannot exist when a child's gender identity or sexual orientation is known by their peers and school staff but kept only from their parents. This bill does not safeguard privacy; rather, it creates a deliberate divide between children and their parents or guardians. AB1955 is facing legal challenges, and it will be deemed unconstitutional. What must be considered here this evening is the harm to families and children that will occur under AB1955 until this unconstitutional and reckless bill is overturned. Today, the City of Huntington Beach has an extraordinary opportunity to provide a bulwark against the nefarious forces that undermine a most sacred relationship: that of parent and child. AB1955 serves no purpose other than to divide the family and undermine parents’ rights to raise their children as they see fit, using as its mask the guise of LGBTQIA+ activism. The reality of AB1955 is that it does not protect anyone. Rather, AB1955 upholds the malignant narcissism of a radical ideology seeking to destroy.  We at Gays Against Groomers stand with you to hold the line. LGB&T people of sound moral character stand with you in support of the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit. We urge you to advance this ordinance to protect the children and families of the City of Huntington Beach. Make no mistake, AB1955 is repugnant to the 14th amendment and will be deemed unconstitutional. Until such time, we stand with you to defend parents and their children from the forces that advance this reckless ideology. We urge you to take courage, vote yes on this ordinance, and move forward to defend parents rights.
