This past June was my first time attending Pride in my city. Some of my more traditional friends and family members warned me of the lewd nature of the event. However, I had my doubts, since traditional-minded people tend to hold a bias. What I expected was dancing, music, and lots of rainbow flags. I believed most sane people would refrain from bringing kids, since it’s more geared towards adults…or so I thought. Loud cheers erupted from the crowd as I made my way through swarms of people. To my surprise, I saw so many children present. Their parents had them wearing Pride t-shirts and holding small rainbow flags. Why are all these children marching? In front of me, a small child was with her mother and dressed in rainbow-themed clothes. If I had to guess, she was maybe five years old. Her small hand was barely holding the LGBTQIA+ flag. I watched in horror as a float of drag queens dancing in extremely revealing outfits rolled by. They wore fake breasts, imitated sex acts, and most of them had a visible bulge. They danced as if they were grinding on a stripper pole. Another float featured a bondage group, and I observed a man, practically naked, prancing around in a jockstrap. Kids watched with family members, laughing and cheering them on, as if this was appropriate. We have to ask ourselves a very important question: What did we fight for? When I went to Pride, I thought we were going to celebrate the progress gays have made through decades of hard work to achieve equality. Yet this event had raunchy imagery everywhere…in front of young kids. Pride marches originated in the gay rights movement, which pushed for equality. Times have changed. This event was not centered around equality. It was glorifying the unthinkable. I want to be proud of the achievements and accomplishments of gay people, but the perversion of children is an abhorrent act that I won't stand for. Would we let children watch porn? I think not. But if we put a flag on it and say it in the name of Pride month, it’s deemed acceptable. Where are the adults? Do they see how perverse this behavior has become? Our movement used to preach acceptance. Is the sexualization of children something we should accept? The performers sacrificed children’s innocence in the name of liberation. Even the families that brought their kids to the event placed them onto the altar. To write this is a bit upsetting, but this whole ordeal brought up an unsettling experience back in high school. When I was younger, I went on a dating app that was created for adults. I was not of age to be on that app, and I was in the wrong to be using that platform. But I didn't know any gay people at my school, and I wanted someone to ask me out…just not a female. While I was on the app, a teacher from my school hit me up. He commented on how “cute I looked in school.” I didn't have him as a teacher; however, he was friendly with one of my teachers, and he would come into the classroom to chit-chat. I would occasionally catch him glancing at me. I deleted the app on my phone the next day. The same teacher found me on another app, saying how “hot” I looked and tried flirting with me. I blocked the man, feeling fearful and upset that he kept trying to contact me. During lunch, I spoke to my friends, asking what I should do. They suggested going to the counselor, so I followed their advice. The counselor was baffled and had no idea what to do, so she referred me to the police officer. Sadly, my phone was of no use because the messages had been deleted. The next day, the school announced that the teacher had been arrested in a sting operation. A sigh of relief overcame me. I no longer needed to worry about this creep. Reflecting on this experience is deeply troubling, especially now that I’m twenty years old and saw these older men practically stripping for children in the middle of the street. We do NOT stand for predators who have hijacked Pride and hide behind these gimmicks to normalize public exhibitionism or act out their fetishes in front of children. Children cannot consent to participating in your kink. Another video surfaced from the D.C. Pride event, depicting a person dancing in erotic clothing while holding a cross and flipping it upside down. To use a religious object as a toy is deeply disrespectful to the Christian community. Why take a symbol that is so important to Christians and make a mockery of it? Why attack Christianity when not all religions are tolerant of homosexuality? Organized belief systems have a long history of committing homophobic atrocities, and yet you don't see other religions blasphemed at sexual parades the same way Christianity is. The alphabet cult criticizes those who disrespect their flags, yet at the Pride event, they return the same kind of disrespect to Christians. I find it hard to see the message of “love and acceptance” when they publicly mock those of Christian faith. Respecting others who are different from us is a place we need to get back to. I am ashamed to see what Pride has become. The flag I had in my house is no longer hanging on my wall. I decided to take it down. The sadomasochistic circus of abuse that I attended does not reflect the original intent of equality. Respect and dignity was completely absent from all of it. The inclusion of children degrades our community. Things will not end well if this persists. You can’t step on a snake and think it won’t fight back. Respect is a two-way street. People respect you when you contribute positively to the world around you. It is disheartening to see such actions take place in plain sight. All of the gays I know just want the same freedoms as everyone else and the ability to live as productive members of society. Gay people are not a monolith. Not all of us hold the same beliefs. The colonization of Pride by depraved opportunists who target the youth is both vulgar and dehumanizing. What started as an annual civil rights march has been overrun by paraphilic narcissists who exploit narratives and lie their way into garnering public sympathy for a Machiavellian agenda. They manipulate the tolerance of others in order to justify the corruption of child innocence. It is a problem. And demanding accountability from the groomers who claim to speak on our behalf is the only way forward.

In the heart of the legislative session, Coloradans have found themselves entangled in a heated debate over proposed laws, many of which driven by youth activists and championed by Janice Marchman and Sen. Faith Winter. At the center of this debate is the role of the "Colorado Youth Advisory Council," an initiative comprised of students aged 14 to 19 from across the state. This council researches policy and creates "youth-centered bills" in collaboration with a legislative interim committee. Why are Colorado officials trusting children with the task of drafting legislation? Our concern is not about completely dismissing the voices of "transgender kids" but we are definitely suspicious of some of the dynamics at play here. Joe, a member of GAG's Colorado chapter, worries that the real driving force behind these laws might be adults with nefarious motives. He fears that young activists are being used as pawns to enact these policies and further an agenda that isn’t in their best interest. Among the proposals put forward, two have ignited significant controversy. Bill #1 seeks to allow children to change their names and socially transition in the classroom without requiring parental permission. Specifically, the bill aims to require public schools to address students by their preferred names without necessitating a formal name or gender change. Failure to comply could get a staff member accused of harassment and discrimination. Advocates argue that this measure is vital in promoting inclusivity and acceptance among students. However, critics see this as a direct infringement on parental rights, questioning whether children should have the authority to make such life-altering decisions without their parents knowing about it. A second bill proposes providing state grants to health providers to receive training in gender-affirming care and creating a task force to study obstacles faced by transgender people in Colorado. Gays Against Groomers found themselves in a legislative session fighting against these poorly-constructed bills pushed by Janice Marchman & Sen. Faith Winter, which will remove parental rights and ultimately hurt Colorado kids. Here's what we had to say: Madam Chair & Committee Members.  Thank you for letting me testify today.  My name is Joe. I am representing the Colorado Chapter of the non-profit organization, Gays Against Groomers. I live here in Jefferson County with my husband and our son, and as such I am speaking with authority as both a parent and a member of the LGBT Community. I am here today to oppose all 6 bills being proposed in this committee because of the harm they will inflict on Colorado’s Youth. While you do not allow us time to address all 6, I will highlight the 2 most concerning. Bill 1 – Addresses Non-legal name changes. It is a fact that 90% of children who socially transition, will medically transition. Medical transition leads to lifelong complication of medical issues including, but not limited to, hormone therapy for life, osteoporosis, sterilization, and worse death. Children who medically transition have a 40% higher chance of attempting suicide over children who do not. This law creates a path to conceal this information from parents, however it is parents like myself that are left to care or worse bury their children after your poorly constructed laws have failed them. There is no doubt puberty is confusing and uncomfortable. But that does not give justification to allow a child to permanently harm their body. The NPTA standards for family and community engagement state it is a requirement for parents to be a consistent figure in their lives or the children will never succeed. Even California recognizes the role a parent plays in a child’s life and Governor Newsom vetoed a similar bill recently. Bill 6 – Covers the grant funding for Youth Gender-affirming care training. This bill is poorly written without defining any age limits or caps on cost. Between 50 and 96% of Colorado Children cannot pass basic Math, Science, or English, our funding should be directed towards teaching our children life skills so they can pay your salaries in the future. It is a fact most of you on this committee are not parents, these bills show how little you understand about our children and what is required to make them thrive. If I had more time I would speak on the other bills, but as it is not a requirement to push any of these bills through and I am asking you to vote no on all 6 bills in this committee today.  Thank you for your time. We took even greater concern with Colorado schools adding “gender identity” and “gender expression” as categories of interest in their Title IX guidelines. Students are encouraged to use their preferred name, aligning with their “gender identity” instead of the ones that were given by their parents. Regardless of legal name changes, using a student’s preferred name is required. Not affirming a student's “gender identity,” including names and pronouns, is a violation. Under these guidelines, school staff must not disclose a student’s transgender status unless legally required or authorized by the student. So, your child can secretly go by a completely different name and persona on a daily basis without your consent. Boys and girls get access to restrooms and sex-separated spaces aligning with whatever “gender identity” they choose, allowing them to identify their way into any shower or locker room they please. All parents are left in the dark about such arrangements, leaving limited space for students and staff to voice any discomfort they may be experiencing. The guidelines force girls to compromise their physical safety both on and off the sports field. Girls are required to compete against boys in athletics, and sleeping arrangements on their overnight trips are no longer separated by biological sex. Integrating girls and boys into the same cabins and bunks had caused quite a bit of controversy. Joe thoroughly addressed the importance of sex-based protections in the following speech: I live here in Jefferson County with my husband and our son, and as such, I am speaking with authority as both a parent and a member of the LGB&T community. I am here tonight to address policy JB R-1 and to clarify how your policies baked around emotions instead of actual science are detrimentally affecting our children. To help you out on the science part, I have brought some facts with me tonight, so you cannot claim ignorance anymore. There are only two sexes -- there always has been and always will be. When you allow a child who is going through puberty to sleep with another child of the opposite sex it creates an opportunity for nature to set in. Your policy creates an opportunity for a child to be raped, and very well could have happened if the girl didn’t speak up. Gender Dysphoria is a very serious psychological condition, I do not make light of this or what the other child was going through. Depending on the study referenced, your number will vary slightly, but in the article I will reference (PMC5564039), 84.9% of trans individuals have experienced physical or sexual abuse, which lead to their transition. If we apply the Cycle of Abuse theory to this situation, this means YOUR policy more than likely aided a victim and could have become a perpetrator, continuing a vicious cycle. So I will be clear. A child (or adult) should NEVER room with another child of the opposite sex. It does not matter if they identify as a male or a female. Your policy might be well intentioned to protect a child going through a very serious psychological issue but does not justify hurting innocent bystanders. That is not transphobic. It is common sense. Something this board clearly lacks. As 1 in 4 females will be sexually abused before they turn 18, this policy is absolutely unacceptable. We at Gays Against Groomers denounce this policy. We stand with the rest of the parents here today to say enough is enough. We call for immediate action to revoke this policy and replace it. The new policy should be as follows: “Students attending overnight school sanctioned events shall only room with children of the same sex. Students who suffer from Gender Dysphoria may request a private room at their own expense or choose to forfeit their trip.” That is fair, and that is inclusive. Anything short of that is not just a violation of Title IX...it’s also another one of the many reasons why every parent should disenroll their child from JeffCo Public Schools. Thank you for your time.

In modern-day American culture, queer theory or "gender ideology” is one of the most controversial issues of our time. It has touched American culture from politics and laws, as well as our education system. There have been a variety of opinions on the negatives and positives of teaching queer theory to American youth but very little focus on the actual reality of the impact Queer theory has on them. Unfortunately, queer theory's negative impacts are outweighing the positives. In order to understand the negative impact of queer theory on the youth, we must first unpack what queer theory is. Queer theory, a term coined by a writer/professor named Teresa Lauretis, originated as an ideology in the 1990s based on a mix of gender and sexuality studies with influence from feminist and other social movements. Queer theory has a variety of definitions, but it can be defined as “the study of gender practices/identities and sexualities that exist outside of cisgender and heterosexual norms.” Queer theorists challenge the idea of traditional identities and gender roles in an attempt to make it a more inclusive and equal society. Although it has existed for more than 20 years, queer theory has resurfaced in our educational system and society overall, especially in American youth. All over America, from elementary school to universities, queer theory has been introduced to American youth in a variety of ways, from queer-based education in books, comprehensive sex education, and drag queen story hour. Let’s take the use of drag queen story hour as a queer theory “pedagogy.” Keenan describes the intent and hopeful impact of drag queen story hour on the youth as “elements of DQSH that offer early childhood educators a way into a sense of queer imagination: play as praxis, aesthetic transformation, strategic defiance, destigmatization of shame, and embodied kinship.” Central elements of Drag Queen Story Hour are extremely alarming. For example, the idea of strategic defiance is being taught to kids. Keenan states, “Drag is all about bending and breaking the rules … desecrating the sacred.” The normal rules that require children to be polite and pay attention are suspended and made easier to break again. “Drag may be especially well-positioned … to make revolution irresistible.” Teaching children that it is okay to break the rules, in hopes they will continually show defiance to the point of a “revolution” when they are older is both dangerous and destructive to youth and society at large. The importance of teaching kids to break rules is again highlighted later in the article. "While drag has some conventions, it ultimately has no rules – its defining quality is often to break as many rules as possible!” (Keenan, 2021). Teaching impressionable youth to embrace “breaking rules” can be detrimental to their success. Teaching kids that rules are flexible sets a tone for defiant behavior in the future. Methods of teaching queer theory have been implemented through drag queen story hour. Drag Story Hour states its mission is “Drag Queen Story Hour celebrates reading through the glamorous art of drag. Our chapter network creates diverse, accessible, and culturally inclusive family programming where kids can express their authentic selves and become bright lights of change in their communities.” Although it seems like it would be a positive thing for youth, especially if we try to create a more “accepting” culture, how it is done and the material being read is controversial at best. Drag Queen Story Hour is geared towards 3- to 11-year-olds, using books that center around queer issues, history, as well as gender ideology to teach about queer theory. This is illustrated in a video called Lush Drag Queen Story Time: Banned Books with Salina EsTitties, where a drag queen named Salina EsTitties reads from the “banned book” titled Miss Rita Mystery Reader. This book is about a child whose father is a drag queen who comes to read to kids in her classroom. It seems innocent, but the message geared towards children has negative implications. This book is geared toward children who are forming their identity and understanding the world around them. Normalizing a very nuanced identity concept like being a drag queen to a child can influence how they see themselves as well as their own career choices. American society, now exposed to kid drag queens and family-friendly drag performances, is also witnessing the inclusion of queer theory-based books in schools. These books, like the controversial Genderqueer, contain explicit images of sex, going as far as giving instructions on oral sex, all under the guise of gender-inclusive education. This is essentially porn that was once accessible to kids of middle school and elementary school age before it was banned. The idea of glamorizing adult entertainment as a career, being a drag queen as well, and normalizing sex have major negative impacts on children psychologically and emotionally, especially when they aren't mature enough to fully understand those concepts. Clinical psychiatrist Professor Caroline Giroux states that exposure to sexual material at an early age can have traumatic effects leading to significant distress, disruptive behaviors, compulsive sexuality, and even suicidal attempts (Giroux, 2021).” It is common knowledge that school-aged youth are like sponges. Any information given to them is taken as truth and helps shape their identity. Queer theory is centered around extremely nuanced concepts. Although the intention is to help kids feel accepted in society, its actual impact on them may not be as positive as the intent. Reading stories such as Red: A Crayon's Story about “not feeling the right color on the inside” to kids who have never even questioned their gender plants seeds of doubt and creates instability in identity formation. It also can negatively impact young gay or bisexual people who already don’t fit in a “gender-normative” box by teaching them that the characteristics of their personality may mean they are the opposite gender. This can be detrimental to masculine girls and feminine boys who are already having a hard time feeling comfortable in their skin. If we teach kids that personality characteristics make you the opposite gender, then we are instilling the same “gender norms” that queer theory is trying to fight against: being feminine means you're a girl and being masculine makes you a boy. Although much of the impact associated with introducing queer theory to the youth is very much ongoing, what we are already seeing is alarming to many. One major impact we see is the influx of youth self-identifying as “trans” or “queer.” In America, the number of youth identifying as trans has doubled over the past 5 years. According to a study done in 2017 by UCLA, 0.7% of America’s youth identified as trans. In 2021, it was reported that 1.4% of American youth now identified as trans. The numbers have been skyrocketing ever since. Many people make the claim that it’s a natural occurrence to have a more inclusive and accepting generation due to the positive work of introducing queer and gender ideology into schools. But the influx corresponds with the push and pull of gender and queer theory in school, as well as society as a whole. The influx of trans-identifying youth isn’t necessarily the core issue. But what trans-identification leads to can be detrimental. Youth aren't just calling themselves “trans,” but also following through with aesthetic measures to fit that identity socially, usually leading to the permanent life-altering decision to medically transition. Unfortunately, this influx has also led to an increase in detransitioning, something that was almost nonexistent. According to Big Think magazine, detransitioning has increased in recent years. Online forums like Reddit have also been created for detransitioners with over 50,000 members. Queer theory is being used as a stepping stone in order to create a more inclusive society, but it has negatively impacted America’s youth overall. As the famous saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” We have to be cognizant that our intention of fostering an inclusive and “accepting” classroom environment is actually hurting how “accepting” American youth are of themselves.

Dr. Jonathan Keith was the first surgeon to offer genital reassignment surgery in New Jersey in 2018. He has performed over 130 genital surgeries since then and is the first surgeon in New Jersey to offer the full range of “gender-affirming” procedures. He is described as having "expertise" in all aspects of gender-affirming mastectomies, even for patients who are under the age of 18. According to NJ Monthly, Dr. Keith says that neither top nor bottom surgery for minors is outlawed in New Jersey and are up to the discretion of surgeons. He is a member of the Rutgers Center for Transgender Health and WPATH, the global authority for gender medicine. They set the standards for "gender-affirming care.” In 2001, The Guardian published an article about the work of William Futrell, who was Dr. Keith's mentor, and compared him to a “modern-day Frankenstein.” A recently published study analyzed data from surgeries conducted by Dr. Keith between 2015 and 2020. The demographic data confirmed that these surgeries were performed on minors, some of which were less than a year into their medical transition at the time of surgery. One-third of the surgeries during this five-year period resulted in complications. East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery, whose services have been branded as “progressive plastic surgery,” celebrates Dr. Keith as a world-renowned expert in transmasculine procedures. Through them, Dr. Keith unashamedly gives double mastectomies to teenage girls. According to TopSurgery.net, Dr. Keith performs all types of top surgery, and he operates on minors. Another summary of Dr. Jonathan Keith’s medical background and the procedures he offers asserts that Dr. Keith will operate on minors. In 2023, widespread awareness of the child abuse taking place in the operating room prompted legislation banning this heinous act state-by-state. Regarding this matter, Dr. Keith remarked, “It’s so hard for me to fathom what it is like for a patient right now in some of these other states — how they are feeling, what it would be like to even try and come out of the darkness and find adequate health care. This is one of the problems we are facing right now in America.” Since when is taking emotionally vulnerable children and chopping off parts of their body considered “adequate health care?” The real issue is that these inhumane procedures are somehow still legal in many states. They should have never been allowed to occur in the first place. Dr. Keith worries what would happen if the services he provides were outlawed. Must we remind him that the only prohibited services are those carried out on minors? If these "services" were outlawed in Dr. Keith's state, the only change would be disallowing him from mutilating people's children. And we think that sounds great. Ban it. Nobody has the right to butcher children. “And in Texas right now, doctors like me would go to jail,” Dr. Keith said in another interview. By “doctors like me,” what he really means is “doctors who butcher children for money” – all of whom should be put behind bars. Executive Order No. 326 established New Jersey as a “safe haven” for gender-affirming health care. It aims to ensure that all members of the LGBTQIA+ community, including “transgender and non-binary” kids, enjoy equal access to quality health care services in New Jersey, whether or not they are New Jersey residents. Once this went into effect, Keith noted that his clinic saw “an influx of patients not just from New York and New Jersey, but from all over the country.” Instead of confronting the fact that these interventions are too dangerous for a child's body to be put through, parents from states with “gender-affirming care” restrictions are just bringing their kid to New Jersey to get castrated. Have these parents considered that these surgeries are getting outlawed for good reasons? Dr. Keith talks about these laws as if they're a form of bigotry and hate. Meanwhile, they are being implemented in order to prevent malpractice and keep people safe. “It’s absolutely obscene that we’re letting kids agree to mutilating surgeries that can never be undone. No adult should ever look back wondering how they were allowed to make such monumental decisions as a child that they now regret,” Sen. Durr said in a press release after a ban was first proposed. Shortly after, the corporate leaders at RWJBarnabas Health, the hospital system that Dr. Keith is affiliated with, reiterated their commitment to serving LGBTQ+ and nonbinary patients: “We fully support transgender youth and their families in accessing comprehensive, gender-affirming and developmentally appropriate health care. We are proud to work with our patients, families’ and caregivers in making informed medical decisions and stand in solidarity with the transgender community.” Dr. Keith praised the message of support because he believes that it is important to gender-affirming care providers and their patients. According to New Jersey Monthly, “Keith has started to encounter what he calls ‘roadblocks, barriers, and hoops to jump through’ from some insurers, who, he says, have become increasingly adversarial about compensating patients for gender-affirming surgery.” Has Dr. Keith ever entertained the thought that perhaps insurance companies are tightening their regulations because these procedures are inherently hazardous, full of malpractice, and fail to improve the mental well-being of kids in distress? The "gender-affirming care" he is defending means permanently altering children. There should be more safeguards preventing surgeons from butchering children at will. In fact, safeguards are being put in place. These are not “roadblocks.” This is just proper safeguarding. If your doctor sees medical safeguarding as a barrier or inconvenience, then your alarm bells should start going off. If they view simple safeguarding as creating unnecessary barriers, then what kind of gatekeeping do they actually approve of? Do they even believe in any form of gatekeeping at all? Avery Heimann, a social worker, used to work with patients seeking gender-affirming care through this LGBTQ+ clinic at RWJBarnabas Hospital Somerset, as well. Heimann’s work in this field was mostly “writing letters of support to insurance companies to explain how the treatment is indeed a medical necessity and critical to the patient’s mental health.” Heimann does this by “taking a holistic lens to not gate-keep or verify whether the patient is ready — we know the patient is ready" So, if an underage kid believes that surgery is the best option for them, Heimann will gladly write a letter of support based on self-declaration without verifying any of their claims first? The purpose of the letter is to provide a statement that the patient is able to give informed consent. The process of obtaining informed consent is essential to ensure that all parties involved have a clear understanding of the medical procedures and their implications. When gatekeeping and safety are dismissed or not taken seriously, the boundaries protecting one's body begin to erode and consent becomes meaningless. When children are force-fed constant propaganda and pushed into a radical agenda not just by their parents but also by the media and medical professionals, it's a blatant failure in safeguarding. Protection should prevail over abuse. Not only is that irresponsible, but it speaks volumes about how little these clinics actually care about these kids. To nobody's surprise, Dr. Frankenstein has an active Instagram page where he shares interview clips about “pride” and tiktok music videos showing off his customers: Dr. Johnathan Keith finds himself on the Watchlist not only for the agenda he so diligently strives to uphold but also for the physical and mental damage inflicted upon these kids as a result. These butchers aren't immune to criticism. And we refuse to let absolute charlatans like him go unchecked. REFERENCES Dr. Jonathan Keith  [@drjonathankeith]. (2024).

Anna Independent School District in North Texas has been caught hiding information from a parent involving her child’s “gender identity” during school hours. An investigation by Government watchdog group Citizens Defending Freedom (CDF) found that the child used cross-sex pronouns and dressed as the opposite sex while at school, socially transitioning without parental knowledge. CDF found that Anna ISD kept a "non-permanent record" on the child for over a year, reflecting the name change and new pronouns. However, the school did not notify the mother about the record or the child's mental health issues. “The lack of transparency, coupled with the failure to seek parental consent for pronoun usage, name changes, and the concealment of mental health issues, has prompted legal action by parents nationwide,” CDF-Collin County spokesman Dan Thomas said. CDF found that the actions by Anna ISD violated parental rights under Texas Education Code Sections 26.004(b) and 26.008(a). These sections grant parents the right to information regarding their child’s school activities, as well as any written records, including counseling and psychological records. The investigation follows a similar story of two parents in a Michigan school district that sued the school for their female child using male pronouns without their knowledge. Despite the school having had regular contact with the parents in the past regarding the child's mental health, as well as a recent autism diagnosis, the school did not inform the parents that their child was now using male pronouns. “No one with the school district told them that the school district had begun to treat her as a boy by calling her a masculine name and by male pronouns,” Attorney Vincent Wagner said. Stories like this have been getting more and more common over the last few years. Parents Defending Education published a list in March 2023 showing that nearly 6,000 schools nationwide had rules that prevent teachers and staff from disclosing a student’s gender identity to the parents without the student’s permission. This affected more than 3.2 million students. The list has since grown to over 18,000 schools, affecting nearly 11 million students. Although it may seem like a niche concern, the truth is that schools across the nation are grappling with the gender identity issue. And this lack of transparency will only serve to undermine the role that parents have in deciding what is best for their child's education and upbringing. REFERENCES Citizens Defending Freedom.

GLAAD was founded in 1985 and is one of the largest LGBTQ organizations. They were widely known for their activism in issues affecting gays and lesbians. During the Reagan administration, they brought awareness to the AIDS epidemic. AIDS wreaked havoc on the gay community. With a solid foundation of support from like minded people, they grew into the most influential LGBTQIA+ nonprofit. The nonprofit has a whopping 488,387 followers on Twitter, 764,208 on Facebook, 311,219 on Instagram, 46,869 on YouTube, and 36,876 on TikTok. In total, the group has a following of 1,647,559 people across social media. With a following like this, a huge responsibility has been placed on them. Recently, they started advocating for new issues that differ from its original purpose. The group revealed their incentives to its devious vision. They shifted their values to something more sinister: Sterilizing children. They fiercely advocate for the gender transition of minors. Regarding legislation to stop this medical abuse, 13 of which Gays Against Groomers had our hands in putting through, GLAAD stated that “Several of those laws largely focus on prohibiting gender-affirming treatment for children under 18, even though The American Medical Association and more than a dozen other leading medical groups have long supported lifesaving treatment for trans youth. Research shows simple acts like acknowledging and using their pronouns saves trans youth from self-harm and saves their lives.” So…if you don't use a child’s “preferred pronouns,” then they're going to die? That is a manipulative, untrue, and dangerous lie to tell. GLAAD blatantly promotes the butchering of young children – a money making machine that ranges from chemical castration to gender modification surgery. The financial incentives to promote this scandal must be examined. GLAAD has a multitude of donors that contribute to its organization. Some of the names are well known, such as NBC Universal, Netflix, IBM, Google, and many more companies. Companies like these have contributed millions to the organization. It’s no wonder why these major companies censor all voices who speak out against physically altering the developing bodies of minors. At the heart of GLAAD's web of manipulators lies the TAWANI Foundation, led by Jennifer/James Pritzker. Notably, donations of $50,000 in 2015 and a staggering $137,500 in 2019 were directed to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the organization responsible for the affirmation model of medically transitioning minors. The TAWANI Foundation's involvement extended beyond this, with a $10,000 donation to GLAAD in 2015. However, the most significant move came in 2022 when the foundation granted $1,496,070 to Gender and Human Sexuality institutions. The ARCUS Foundation has carved out a significant space within GLAAD's financial make-up, as well. They are part of GLAAD’s $1,000,000 Lifetime Club. When looking at their finances, Google is on the list of its top 10 donors. GLAAD, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Google are all in bed with one another. Amongst their largest donors was Disney, which makes sense given the tantrum that Disney World had when Governor DeSantis banned pornographic content in public schools. Their financial report also highlights the work of Dr. Dick (“Rachel”) Levine, who has been consistently pushing pediatric transition ever since taking office. Abbvie, an American pharmaceutical company, spent $500,000 on lobbying the U.S. Chambers of Commerce. Lobbyists can meet with legislators to push legislation that promotes their agenda. They can also use money to go against opponents who could pose a threat to its interests. In the Federal government, sometimes companies will donate to both parties to ensure that they have their vote. Corrupt organizations like Abbvie, Google, GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and many more use these hefty donations to influence the social and political landscape. While dumping millions, or in some cases billions of dollars into developing new drugs, these organizations have leveraged social media, legislation, and minority organizations to push gender ideology. We find it interesting that organizations like GLAAD, The Advocate, PinkNews, and MediaMatters harass and attack us non-stop with censorship campaigns, hit pieces, defamatory lies, and propaganda...but whenever we bite back, WE'RE labeled as the aggressor. It shouldn't be this difficult to convince people to leave the kids alone. But when you have corporations like GLAAD pulling in millions of dollars to profit off the scarred bodies of innocent children, it becomes clear that they value money over the well-being of “trans kids.” They should really get their priorities in check before attacking us for exposing the truth. Maybe people would start taking them seriously. They regularly call Gays Against Groomers "extremists" while simultaneously raking in the cash from child castration experiments via the gender affirmation model. Who is the extremist here? Is it the organization that spent all of 2023 passing legislation to protect kids from irreversible harm...or the organization that views kids as cash cows and profits off of enslaving them to a life of permanent pharmaceutical dependence? It's pretty clear who is on the right side of history. The reason why Gays Against Groomers speaks out against it is because we recognize corruption when we see it infiltrate our community. And it is our responsibility to call it out. In a matter of three days, MediaMatters, GLAAD, and Pink News all came out urging Facebook and Instagram to ban us. They are terrified of gay people voicing their dissent from within the community, so they resort to insane, defamatory lies to pressure Big Tech into doing so. They thought they had succeeded in getting us canceled. But we raised hell and made it known that they will never shut us up, no matter how hard they try. Our founder and president, Jaimee Michell, said in a news appearance, "I think that really goes to show just how scared these people are of our voices. I don't think they ever expected to have to fight people from inside the community. We're not going to stop. They can't silence us. They've tried over and over again, but we just keep growing stronger." These corporations are learning real fast that WE are the ones who represent the sane majority in our community, not the groomer radicals who wish to harm children. Our community is not a monolith, and millions of us want this agenda ENDED. We had one of our members contact Sarah Kate Ellis, the CEO and president of GLAAD, when they tried to get us banned. This buffoon replied to us, saying that GAG is an "anti LGBTQ" organization. Then she promptly unsent the message in order to avoid looking like a lunatic. But we have screenshots, Sarah. Always. Keep. Receipts. This summer, we had digital billboard trucks at Pride Parades across the country with screens displaying videos of the gender cult's butchering of children. The groomers over at GLAAD decided to copy us in an effort to gain public support for the child mutilation empire they are building. Needless to say, our billboard trucks were way better. But we're pleased to know we've been a source of inspiration for them. Their truck claims that "trans people's right to exist" is somehow under attack. Allow us to elucidate: Never has there existed this hypothetical population of children for whom biological sex is completely irrelevant to their embodied reality. The amputation of healthy reproductive organs has never been considered the best way to treat mental health issues in adolescent girls and boys. The transsexual child is a pharmaceutically-constructed lie. If you have to censor all opposition with multi-million dollar hate campaigns in order to enact your agenda, well, maybe that's a sign that you are doing something wrong. GLAAD put themselves on the Naughty List when they started treating victims of child sexual mutilation as collateral damage. There is nothing worse than a child sexual mutilation advocate. And everyone involved in this scam will be held accountable. REFERENCES Advocate (2023, September 28). Meta slammed for failing to regulate against anti-LGBTQ+ group Gays Against Groomers.

When you hear the phrase, “Gay Icon” in the lesbian community, few would argue that pop artist P!nk is one of the modern greats. Her famous androgynous style has been celebrated and emulated in the lesbian community for years. Her unapologetic approach to embracing her masculine side as well as her feminine side is an experience many lesbians can relate to. P!nk has even described herself as an “Honorary Lesbian.” In a 2012 interview P!nk stated, “My gay girls are my rootstalk. They’re my honesty in an ocean of bullsh-it.” Indeed, P!nk has had a long career of supporting the gay community. On multiple occasions, she has done this blatantly and unapologetically in her music. In her song, “Dear Mr. President'' she expresses explicit support for lesbians. In “Raise Your Glass,” scenes of a same-sex wedding were depicted, inspired by P!nk’s best friend’s lesbian wedding. While the song is generally viewed as an anthem for people who feel othered, it has a special place in the hearts of our community. Unfortunately, P!nk has thrown herself into the cultural ring on the topic of trans children and pornographic books for kids. Trans children do not exist because children cannot make the decision to transition. In November, P!nk pledged to give away 2,000 “banned books” during her Miami, FL concerts in partnership with the literary and free expression advocacy group PEN America. Both apparently don’t understand the meaning of “ban” nor do they seem to have an issue with children viewing pornographic books. A “book ban” would mean that no one could purchase or own the books in question. There are no “banned books” in Florida. Parents can challenge books in public schools that they view as being inappropriate. Many of the books that are being challenged are labeled as “LGBTQ+ books” despite being full of nudity and vulgar language. P!nk seems to think this is great to have in schools. And she encourages more schools to have this hideous content out in the open for children to view. That is disgusting. Perhaps if these books stopped including graphic sexualized images, parents would be less upset. Just a thought. She was caught in a lie when she tweeted a list of "banned" titles and was corrected by Community Notes. Did P!nk apologize? Of course not. She buckled down and proceeded with her agenda. For someone who claims to support the gay community, she sure loves betraying and not listening to us. We tried to warn her but she does not care. Maybe earning a spot on our Naughty List will wake her up. Until recently, she stood for embracing gender nonconformity instead of abiding by rigid stereotypes. Now, she advocates for convincing tomboys that they are a different gender and sterilizing them before puberty. For many young girls, and especially girls who feel same-sex oriented, P!nk and her music were an absolute rallying cry. Her androgynous style mixed with powerful moments of femininity made them feel seen, accepted, and understood. The upbeat messaging in her music conveyed that it was okay to be different. Children need to know in their bones and in their hearts that they are perfect just the way they are. Well, P!nk thinks otherwise. "We have made so many strides toward equality in this country and no one should want to see this progress reversed." …….Ma'am, having pornographic filth in schools has nothing to do with “equality” and everything to do with boundary violation. The same goes for a school curriculum that tells children they are "trapped in the wrong body." She also praised a school for supporting gender-neutral approaches. Shocker. She discussed this in an interview where she said, "The bathroom outside the kindergarten said: 'Gender Neutral - anybody', and it was a drawing of many different shapes. I took a picture of it and I wrote: Progress. I thought that was awesome. I love that kids are having this conversation.” At an age where children are still eating crayons, this should not be encouraged in the slightest. Has she considered that other parents might not be comfortable with their kids having conversations about sex and gender in kindergarten? They are 5 years old. Let kids be kids. P!nk couldn’t leave it at that though, she had to take it further. This brings us to our next point: P!nk is raising her kids as "gender-neutral.” Here at Gays Against Groomers, we refer to this as Transhausen by Proxy. Often seen in middle-to-upper class suburban moms, it is a phenomenon where a parent convinces a child that they are a different gender or indulges in their child's gender confusion for their own outside validation. The insidious part is that encouraging these beliefs can lead to “gender-affirming” medicalization. These are dangerous ideas to put in a child’s head. The worst part is that P!nk is doing all of this in our name, claiming that she is an “LGBTQ+ advocate.” What on earth? How exactly does raising your kid “gender-neutral” advocate for gays and lesbians? Trick question. It doesn't. Can woke celebrities please stop using children as a prop to make some sort of political statement? It's weird and inappropriate. P!nk regularly endorses HRC and GLAAD, who push the idea that when children display stereotypical opposite sex behaviors and interests, it is an indication that the child is trans. Not only is that obviously absurd…it's a complete betrayal of people like us. So many children who grow up to be gay or lesbian display such tendencies in childhood. This is a real and sometimes distressing experience that many young lesbians go through. This struggle for girls is rarely acknowledged. More and more people are coming forward, saying that they were transitioned as a child as a form of gay conversion therapy. How can she claim to be an advocate for us when she supports this tragedy? Anyone who supports the transing of kids is NOT a friend to gay people. They are quite the opposite. Transcending gender stereotypes does not make someone “trans” as a child, and it doesn't make them “trans” now. Gender ideology is harmful to children and is completely contradictory to the messaging in so many of P!nk’s songs. Gender Ideology is toxic to the gay community in all its forms. It is inherently homophobic and is dangerously destabilizing to children. The broader community has started to realize this. As more of us take a stand against the radical woke minority that have hijacked our movement, our clubs, our language, our spaces, etc. she will continue to lose the support of her gay and lesbian fans who feel betrayed by her new messaging. Embracing the radical trans movement is the beginning of the end for this gay icon. More and more of us are becoming aware of the trans scandal that has plagued our community and is tearing families apart. We refuse to go along with the biggest medical scandal since the lobotomy. We refuse to let clowns like P!nk speak for us while actively damaging the gay community. It is conversion therapy on steroids (literally). And we're expected to believe this is an “ally" to our community? No, thank you. Alecia, you're fake as hell. This is your legacy, not ours. We're gay. We're angry. And we're placing you on the Naughty List. Better luck next year! REFERENCES ABC News. (2023, November 15). Pink to Give Thousands of Banned Books at Florida Shows.

Tara Leana (aka: Tara Lipsyncki), a transgender drag queen and “ordained minister” from The Church of Fabulosity in Utah, hosts All-Ages Drag Shows and has expressed that he is very proud to be doing so. According to The Church of Fabulosity's website, “We are a non-denominational church. We provide free minister ordinations to all that come to us…” We sent a disapproval letter regarding the all-ages drag show and she promptly responded to our Chapter Leader. Lipsyncki claims they are federally protected as their drag show involving children is “a protected religious service” and will consider any more targeting of her group as a "hate crime against our religious liberties.” We would like to note that the church has never been "targeted.” Contrary to Lenea’s beliefs, it is a protected federal right for protestors to protest even a church, something that has occurred in this country for over two centuries thanks to the First Amendment, and also frequently happens in Utah on a wide range of issues. Clearly sending a simple email in an attempt to discuss the suspected issue does not fall under a “hate crime.”  That is unless Lenea believes his “ministry” of drag performances for children is so special it is above all other laws in our country. In the email, Lipsyncki also states that "all people involved in our show have extensive background checks, and no drag artist in the show is on any state of federal registries." Interesting, because we discovered quite easily that the owner of the Sweet Hazel & Co, where Lipsyncki routinely hosts his all-ages drag shows, happens to be convicted of a felony in Utah for “selling her 13 year old daughter's virginity for $10,000.” A quick Google search revealed that she is also a convicted sex offender with many news reports about her not just across Utah, but across the entire United States as well as international news media! So much for "extensive background checks.” Lipsyncki had two drag shows scheduled in November and December (with discounts for minors) but had to reschedule. Lipsyncki stated, in a different email, that they did not host the drag events due to "threats from bigots" which forced them to leave Sweet Hazel & Co and move to a new venue. So, it was not because the owner of the facility hosting the events is a convicted sex offender? Lipsyncki went on in that same email to state the event was moved to his bookstore in Provo. Is the bookstore now considered a church? Have they filed the required paperwork to change the licensing of the establishment’s type of business? It should also be noted that Lipsyncki has a history of trying to sue people to gain access to children, as she was involved in a lawsuit against the City of St. George, Utah and its city leaders when the city refused to grant a permit to the Southern Utah Drag Stars to perform drag for children in a city-owned park. Lipsyncki was scheduled to be the host of that event. Oh, and one more thing we forgot to mention: Lipsyncki just released a children's book about drag called Letter From The Queen. Charming. One has to ask, Why are drag queens so intent at gaining access to children specifically when for decades they performed for only adults? Why the sudden demand for nonstop access to children by these adult performers? Why are they suddenly pretending children attending her drag shows are “critical to their survival,” as Lipsyncki claims. What is the actual agenda behind raunchy drag shows for children? People like Tara Lenea (Tara Lipsyncki) always say, “Drag is not dangerous to children!” History has proven otherwise with so many of these all-age drag show “performers” arrested for assaulting children and child pornography. Not just here in the USA, but across the globe. Here are just a FEW drag queen performers and drag story hour readers that have taken advantage of children, including a Judge that was a top Drag Queen Story Hour sponsor who was arrested for possessing child pornography: SUPPORT OUR WORK

In today’s crazy and mixed-up world, I often find myself wondering what happened to common sense and good judgment? I know the majority of people have a decent understanding of reality, but when it comes to the individuals who are platformed by the media…common sense is not so common. Content creators know that the audience will salivate over insanity and chaos, and they take advantage of this in order to get ratings. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines common sense as the ability to reach intelligent conclusions. The word "sense" implies a reliable ability to judge and decide with soundness, prudence, and intelligence. A choice showing good common sense suggests an average degree of such ability without sophistication or special knowledge. "Good judgment" implies that one is tempered and refined by experience, training, and maturity. Minors are not mature enough to understand this. They are impressionable and lack the foresight to make decisions about their bodies. A teacher, healthcare worker, or even camp counselor can go so far as influencing kids to take puberty blockers or cut off body parts to play a role that most kids grow out of. When members of our Arizona chapter went to Gay Pride Day in Phoenix, our mission was to see how many vendors catered to gender dysphoria and transition. All of the vendors told us that we needed to talk to One·n·Ten because they offered everything for a child to transition, including puberty blockers and surgery. When we spoke with a One·n·Ten volunteer, they had no problem telling us about all the ways they assist in child sterilization. They mentioned a private Facebook group that helps minors with transitioning. We were even given a business card. They seemed proud to be participating in the biggest medical scandal since the lobotomy. Who are these people? And why do they seem to have a monopoly on "trans kids?" So, we did some investigating. And what we found was very disturbing. They are based out of Phoenix, Arizona and are surprisingly very well-funded. In 2017, they claimed 72 corporate partners in their annual report. No further annual reports were uploaded after 2017. According to their current website, the list of sponsors was surprisingly long and featured some very powerful organizations. They thank the following sponsors: Cox (Communications, WiFi, etc), SRP (Salt River Project), Estrella Jalisco (Anheuser-Busch/Bud Light), Osborn Maledon (a law firm in Phoenix), Wells Fargo, Bank of America, ADP (Automatic Data Processing), Sprouts, Petsmart, Mercy Care, Sprouts Health Communities Foundation, Discover, Toshiba, Fry’s Grocer (Kroger), American Airlines, and APS (Arizona Public Service). They work with Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s “Gender Support Program.” According to their website: “The Gender Support team understands that the process of gender development is unique to each individual. Our specialists in pediatrics, adolescent medicine and psychology work closely with youth, families, physicians, mental health therapists and other providers who may be involved in the child’s care. Our program offers many services: Consults with families about parenting strategies and support for gender-affirming children and youth. Consults about using medicines to suppress puberty. Consults about gender-affirming hormonal therapy. Consults and offers referrals for readiness evaluation. Refers patients to experienced mental health providers and specialists at Phoenix Children’s for ongoing support. Supports and advocates for patients and families through various aspects of transition. These include transitioning in schools and completing legal name and gender marker changes. We would like to make something clear: It is disgusting and inexcusable for a child to be getting any of these services, even legally changing their name. No child under the age of 18 should be subjected to this. Zip. Zero. Nada. Not even one. Here at RADAR News, our dedicated journalists put in a lot of effort to highlight the importance of language. Many "queer" resources use language that intentionally blurs the boundaries between male/female and adult/child. The reason why this is so worrisome is because those boundaries are ingrained in us during childhood. Children typically use age and biological sex as markers while describing others. The two things that children first point out are whether someone is a "boy or girl" and whether they are a "kid or grown-up." Queer Theory is systematically designed to eradicate both of these boundaries and erode safeguarding. And this is done on purpose. Queer Studies academics like Judith Butler stress the importance of using language to change culture and blur boundaries. Upon reading the phrases "trans youth,” "LGBTQIA+ youth,” or “young people,” most people assume that this refers to boys and girls (minors). However, when certain organizations use the word "youth," it simultaneously refers to children and young adults, thus blurring that boundary. We discovered that One·n·Ten is one of these organizations. They have a Discord server for "LGBTQ+ Youth" to have conversations in chat rooms and the ability to send/post photos and videos. One·n·Ten's Discord server is for "youth” between 13 to 24 years old: adults and children. They have a “rewards program” where children get rewarded with prizes for referring other 13 to 24-year-olds and they get entered into a raffle. Yes, this is real. According to the local news, "We developed a discord platform, and we saw an increase of attendance. We also started doing gaming and streaming two nights a week on Twitch,” said Sebastian Blackwell, Satellite Program Manager for One As a result, One·n·Ten reached 700 youth within one month. This organization received a multiyear, $500,000 grant from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation. The funds will support One·n·Ten’s online digital programs, in person satellite sites and Camp OUTdoors. One·n·Ten serves LGBTQ+ and allied “youth ages 11-24 by promoting self-expression, self-acceptance and healthy life choices.” On the One·n·Ten website, it specifies that their queer camp is also for "youth" aged 11-24. Camp OUTdoors for “youth” are housed by age, not based on gender identity/expression. Male and female campers are housed in the same facilities, which should immediately set off some alarm bells. The activity calendars have a variety of activities for “young people” to do. The age range is 14-24. No supervision is specified. This is unacceptable. On their website, when entering information in the child’s profile, the child’s sex or gender are not even asked about and there is limited information for parents. The only information for parents on this hellsite is a page on conversion therapy. In the description, it loosely describes conversion therapy for gay or bisexual people and then applies this to trans-identified children. It makes no distinction between the two. Conflating sexual orientation (LGB) with “gender identity” (TQ+) in any context is not only irresponsible…it can also be dangerous. These two concepts have nothing in common. Therefore, one must differentiate between conversion therapy and psychodynamic gender-exploratory therapy. According to Genspect, “conversion practices which are physically and psychologically harmful should, of course, be prohibited as human rights violations ... Conversion therapy is an outdated and barbaric practice that was offered decades ago. Cruel treatments such as aversion therapy and electroconvulsive treatments were utilized; which caused severe psychological, and even physical harm. However, psychodynamic technique does not entail purposeful attempts to convert, change or shift an individual's sexuality or identity. It aims to clarify the role of various overt or covert influences upon the patient's thoughts and behaviors, and its practice should be free of arbitrary interference by the State. Psychotherapy that aims to differentiate among various mental health conditions that superficially resemble each other cannot be said to violate any rights. Legislation that does not distinguish between competent psychotherapy and abusive practices is arbitrary and encroaches upon the private sphere by impinging on personality rights, and also associational rights by having a chilling effect on therapeutic relationships." One·n·Ten does not even mention the recent emergence of comorbidities between pediatric trans-identification and autism, anxiety, or eating disorders. There is no mention of high-quality mental health care for gender-distressed children. This implies that gender affirmation (“gender-affirmative care”) is the only method of dealing with a child’s distress, which can lead to serious, risky medical interventions before a child can consent. We believe that the evidence offered to parents misuses the phrase “conversion therapy” to push the “affirmation only” model and make misleading infographics based on self-report and suicidality. They claim that this self-reported suicide “attempt” rate is due to lack of affirmation of their “identity.” This is the least reliable source of data. It ignores multiple confounding variables such as psychopathological comorbidity and pushes the lie that minors who do not medically transition are at a high risk of suicide. There are multiple studies that disprove this lie. Under the Health and Wellness tab, they offer monthly gender affirming topics such as hormones, surgeries, binding, tucking, and where to find “gender-affirming care.” No exploration is encouraged whatsoever. The source for their propaganda is The Trevor Project, a biased and corrupt organization that pushes the very same “affirmation” model. I grew up in the 1970’s. It was a completely different generation. For those of you who grew up during that time period: Do you remember when the school would call your parents for any little thing you did wrong? Nowadays, there are some states that will support a child in a gender transition and not even contact the parents! It is mind-blowing that this is considered the go-to organization in Arizona for parents of gender-distressed kids. They lie to families, use botched statistics to justify child abuse, deceive children, take no accountability for the dangers of "gender-affirming care,” lack proper safeguarding, and have no problem blurring the line between adults and children. Who decided that One·n·Ten knows more about what is best for a child than the parents? We're not sure. From what we've seen so far, it is obvious that they are NOT using common sense and good judgment. We do not co-parent with corrupt "LGBTQIA+" non-profits. It is going to take parents, politicians, and your average Joe America. citizens to stand up and say NO MORE. This manipulation must come to an end and Gays Against Groomers is on the forefront of shutting down this scandal for good. REFERENCES Alexis Garibay (2020, November 19).

Earlier this month, VICE celebrated a 6-year-old boy named Asa, who has been groomed into becoming a drag performer known as “Lulu LovelyTwirls.” Asa began performing at the age of four after his parents, Aaron and Jennifer, took him to a Pride event, where they claim he got the idea of becoming a drag queen. Jennifer, Asa’s mother, attributes Asa’s love of drag to his love of dance and that “the real conversation about drag started the first time he went to Pride with us.” Aaron, Asa’s father, didn’t see anything wrong with bringing their son to a pride festival despite Asa being four years old, because he “thought it would be a good way to bring our kids and let them see the diversity of the world around us.” Asa soon became obsessed with drag. He started referring to himself as a drag queen and started doing monthly performances. Asa has become a star in the industry, with not only his parents celebrating his performances, but has also led to one of the hairstylists claiming that Asa could become the next RuPaul. The boys’ mother claims that “he was born to do this,” and that this is “genuine.” “He said to me one day, ‘I’m going to go put on my dress and I am going to sing and you are going to video me and put me on Facebook. Everybody can give me likes.’ And I said, ‘okay,’” Asa’s mother claims. Asa’s father told VICE that he still considers his family to be “traditional” but “we have a child that’s interested in something that’s maybe not as traditional.” VICE loved the story of a 4-year-old becoming a drag queen so much that they did an entire video on Asa’s rise to fame, and followed Asa around as he showed them his barbie doll house and pride flags that he has displayed in his room. Child Protective Services being called on the family wasn’t even enough to get them to question what they are doing to their son. After the investigation, the parents doubled down and then started openly talking about their 6 year old son doing drag. Asa and his parents testified earlier this year after a bill was proposed by Nebraska state Senator Dave Murmin, that seeks to ban anyone under the age of 19 from attending drag shows and making it a Class I misdemeanor for those over the age of 19 that knowingly brings an individual under the age of 19 to a drag show. The bill bans anyone under the age of 21 from attending if the establishment does serve alcohol. Business or nonprofit owners who host drag shows could also face a misdemeanor charge if someone underage attends the show and the establishment would face fines of $10,000 for each violation. Trans extremist Erin Reed, our biggest fan, made a viral dishonest tiktok video scaremongering about a similar bill and condemned it partly because Gays Against Groomers is cited on page 14. The courts took a quote from our website, which said that most gay adults disagree with pushing drag events onto children. They specified that this was a case of grown adults dancing provocatively for minors. Gays Against Groomers was referenced in order to reinforce the fact that cross-dressing for children has nothing to do with "gay or lesbian rights,” and "transvestism is not indicative of being gay or lesbian.” It even cites multiple examples of gender non-conforming people and differentiates between gay rights and grown adults putting on inappropriate shows with minors. These bills have nothing to do with being gay and everything to do with protecting children from these horrid drag events. Shame on you, Vice. Drag is not for kids. And it is not controversial to say so. REFERENCES ABC News 8. (2023, January 13).

Erin Reed, one of our biggest fans who recently shouted us out in a viral Tiktok of disinformation, lives life through the religious lens of gender ideology. Erin is a self proclaimed “independent LGBTQ+ journalist and activist,” constantly scouring for stories to weaponize in the name of “trans liberation.” A post-op male to female transsexual, Erin preaches a set of ideals that dictate anything goes when it comes to gender; you’re trans if you say you are and anyone who disagrees is a bigoted transphobe who needs re-education. And that’s exactly what Erin offers through “her” website, where you can request Erin as a speaker to hop on a soap box and tell you how to think so as not to offend the gender-confused crowd. Erin’s hobbies include tracking “anti-LGBTQ+” legislation (which typically protects children), gaslighting detransitioners, and “debunking” legitimate concerns regarding bottom surgeries and autogynephiles (AGP), men who are sexually aroused by the idea of dressing like or presenting as a woman. AGP’s can typically be identified by their interest in exhibitionism, humiliating fetishes, cross-dressing, and creepy comments about how turned on they feel about their transition, which may or may not be medical. According to Erin, autogynephilia isn’t real but makes a great joke. Like many Trans Radical Activists, Erin is perturbed by the existence of detransitioners and enjoys poking fun at their pain, even insulting their spiritual reasons behind detransitioning, all during an active crusade to create uniform thinking through paid speaking events. “If there’s this massive wave of transgender people regretting being trans, you would expect to find more of them,” Erin smirked into an iPhone earbud microphone while mocking detransitioners in a TikTok from September. “You always see the same dozen.” But a simple search of “detrans” on social media platforms shows far more than a dozen detransitioners, many of whom prefer to stay out of the spotlight due to the negative attention and bullying they receive from people like Erin, who love to insist that detransitioners are so rare they basically don’t matter. Many users respond to detransitioners with sarcasm and resentment, labeling them as “fear mongering” and further isolating them from the community as pariahs. But what the neo-LGBTQ+ activists truly fear is the truth damaging their delusions and precious set of cult rules that can’t be questioned. For instance, Erin isn’t a fan of transmedicalism, or the idea that in order to be considered truly transsexual, one must undergo a complete medical transition so as to pass as the opposite sex undetected. This is in spite of the fact that Erin has undergone bottom surgery, something “she” logged on X in a disturbingly contradictory thread about “her” neo-vagina. Erin, if you have to dilate it, then it is in fact not a natural vagina, but an artificial canal. There is no womb or ovaries present beyond this dead-end canal. Meaning you don’t have to see a gynecologist; the average woman can’t believe menstruation cycles and the dreaded “metal duck examination" are things MTFs actually envy! And cutting your penis to have it shoved inside of you to replicate what you envy sounds an awful lot like self-mutilation, though if it makes you happy that’s great for you. It doesn’t always go so well for others, even when they insist they don’t regret it. Take Zaya Perysian and Jammi Dodger, for example. Zaya, an MTF with a TikTok account carrying a whopping 4.7M, cried in a year old video updating “her” followers about a development from bottom surgery the doctors called vaginal stenosis, referring to a buildup of scar tissue in the artificially created canal. This is one of many complications that can occur, and why post-op MTFs are always instructed to dilate regularly by shoving a dildo into the hole, much like spinning a fresh piercing to avoid the wound closing around the penetrated site. “I don’t regret it, I do NOT regret the surgery,” Zaya emphasized several times in the video. “But no one told me how hard recovery was gonna be.” As a result of the complication, Zaya had to undergo a second surgery in which the canal, originally a penile inversion, was replaced with a section of colon, which can lead to a persistent odor of (you guessed it) feces. Jammi Dodger, a UK citizen featured on PinkNews (self-identified rivals of GAG) and popular YouTube creator with over 1M subscribers, is an FTM who nearly died during phalloplasty surgery from an arterial bleed and refilling hematoma that had to be squeezed twice. Jammi also had to undergo a follow-up surgery to stop the bleeding. “I’ve never experienced so much pain in my life,” Jammi recalled. “The whole experience has made me terrified to ever have surgery again.” Jammi went on to say that the story “wasn’t meant to put people off from having lower surgery,” but is clearly suffering with PTSD from the harrowing experience. The hypocrisy of being traumatized from a surgery while still recommending it is one of the most concerning aspects of radical trans activists. People like Erin, Zaya and Jammi all insist that it’s a lifesaving surgery, with or without complications. But to admit regret is to betray the community, made apparent by the radicals’ disdain for detransitioners. But perhaps the most dangerous and irresponsible thing Erin has ever done is create a searchable “informed consent map.” We’ll let Erin explain what that is and how it works. You heard that right. Erin is leading absolutely anyone old enough to do a Google search to people who will affirm and fast track hormone therapy for gender transition purposes. Combine this tool with Erin’s state guide to trans safety, and a confused minor could easily plan an escape to a “trans sanctuary” state and start hormones without parental consent. We make it our mission to explain why people like Erin are damaging the community. Not only is Erin Reed an absurd hypocrite, but “she” is openly aiding and abetting crimes against children by guiding them into medicalizing themselves before they can even understand the long term possibilities. No child can possibly know they’re transgender, and it is far safer to wait until adulthood to make a fully informed decision. Erin goes so hard for gender-confused individuals (especially minors) that it’s almost as if “she” is trying a little too hard to convince the world that “she” is happy with transitioning. While acknowledging the binary of undergoing surgery as a male to present as female, Erin simultaneously insists that trans is essentially whatever you want it to be, as long as you hate your body. It’s almost as if deep down, Erin harbors some regret of “her” own. From the ridicule of AGPs to a hypocritical stance on medicalization, perhaps Erin knows “her” life is a lie. After all, if genitals don’t define gender, why would anyone need to alter them? Food for thought, Erin. Merry Christmas.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is a global authority for gender medicine and makes the recommendations for "gender-affirming care." The WPATH guidelines center affirmation-only interventions, endorse social transition in schools without parental consent, encourage the use of GnRH agonists to "block puberty” in addition to cross-sex hormones, and even recommend surgery with little regard for child development and mental health comorbidities. WPATH does this without the presence of high quality data and research and is riddled with corruption. Many mental health practitioners, physicians, scientists, and concerned parents reject WPATH's approach. Their concern for the lack of science and common-sense based alternatives in gender medicine is what inspired the creation of Genspect. Genspect aims to balance the problematic framework offered by WPATH and its subsidiaries by holding conferences in the same location as WPATH. They offer free entry to WPATH ticket holders in an attempt to bridge the gap and create more thoughtful and science-based options for gender-distressed youth. One of Gays Against Groomers’ chapter members had the pleasure of traveling to their Denver Conference, Genspect: The Bigger Picture, which was attended by more than 250 people and featured two dozen speakers. Topics ranged from evolutionary biology, the importance of non-partisanship, accurate statistics about detransition, ROGD parents, and detransitioners who have been irreversibly harmed by the affirmation model. Live episode of “A Wider Lens” with Stella O’Malley (founder and director of Genspect), Sasha Ayad, and Chloe Cole The wide range of speakers included journalist Michael Shellenberger, journalist Wesley Yang, researcher and fellow at the Manhattan Institute Leor Sapir, legal warrior and whistleblower Vernadette Ramirez Broyles, gender clinic whistleblower Jamie Reed, Dr. Stephen Levine, puberty blocker researcher Zhenya Abruzzese, Denise Caignon of 4thwavenow.com, psychotherapist and author Dr. Joe Burgo, psychotherapist and author Stella O’Malley, research scientist and author Dr. Heather Heying, evolutionary biologist Dr. Colin Wright, gender medicine and autism journalist Christina Buttons, Dr. Carrie Mendoza, mother and advocate January Littlejohn, professor and author Alex Byrne, political commentator James Lindsay, coach and women’s sports activist Linda Blade, Shannon Thrace who published a book about losing her partner of 15 years to gender identity ideology, attorney and mother Erin Friday, detransitioner Prisha Mosley, and professor Wilfred Reilly. Christina Buttons summed up the crux of the issues with medically transitioning children, saying that informed consent is impossible when professionals do not give the patient all of the information they need. Genspect is developing its own Gender Framework. We highly encourage others to read through the first draft, which is available here. "The Gender Framework" offers a comprehensive examination of compassionate care for gender-distressed youth, presenting an alternative to the increasingly aggressive standards set by WPATH. It discusses concerns such as the rise of “male lesbians,” the presence of sexually explicit materials in school libraries, the implementation of sex-segregated spaces, and the importance of upholding sex-based human rights laws. The document highlights the influence of pornography on the classroom and the emergence of a social contagion of trans identification amongst girls and boys. Taking a critical stance, the framework thoroughly examines the role of autism and comorbidities. It elaborates on the transition of LGB teenagers, highlighting that a significant portion of the minors being transitioned would likely just grow up to identify as gay or bisexual. The authors warn that transitioning kids is a new form of gay conversion therapy, which Gays Against Groomers has been sounding the alarms about since last summer. Providing a holistic approach and model legislation, Genspect underscores the need for adequate health care for detransitioners and ways to address the lifelong ramifications of “gender-affirming” sexual mutilation. Genspect's framework seems to have what is best in mind for gay people in the United States. We appreciate the consideration of same-sex oriented people and correcting gay rights history revisionism. In a Q&A session, a heartbroken California father tearfully shared that his son was diagnosed with gender dysphoria at the age of three, and has legally been denied all contact with his son for two years because he does not consent to the social transition of his preschool child. He is completely alienated from his five year old son. The panel responded compassionately, and the audience members, many of whom have “trans-identified” children, were deeply affected. The Gender Framework makes it clear that the emerging patterns of cross-sex identification are a direct outgrowth of the work of John Money and Harry Benjamin, proliferation of queer theory ideology, corruption in sexology research, and the overarching pornification of society. Genspect challenges the Blanchard model and criticizes sexologists who blur the boundaries between paraphilias and sexual orientations. The framework asserts a binary understanding of sexes (male and female) and grounds sexual orientation (heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual) in biological sex, rejecting the classification of paraphilic disorders as sexual orientations. The only mention of "AAP" is exclusive to The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Genspect: The Bigger Picture was a success overall. We left with the buzz of hope for compassionate, evidence-based care for gender-distressed youth that does not include removing healthy body parts. The first draft of The Gender Framework indicates thorough coverage of complex issues surrounding this medical scandal, and we look forward to reading future additions to their proposed explanation.
