There have been many articles and videos floating around on the internet since bill 5599 passed in Washington state this past spring. Those leaning to the farthest side of the left paint the bill as a way to save transgender children from homelessness after being kicked out into the streets by their parents. Those to the most extreme side of the far-right paint it as the FBI kicking down doors and kidnapping children. Rather than quoting articles written about the bill or sharing my own personal opinions, we’re going to be looking into the bill itself as well as the official website for the Department of Children, Youth and Families. The Department of Children, Youth and Families is responsible for runaway youth and those in foster care. They oversee all issues relating to custody of the children as stated in the bill. This bill was passed in the state of Washington in April of 2023 and is currently in effect. Section one expresses that there is an abundance of homeless transgender youth and quotes statistics found by the Trevor Project, which is an activist group known for its work in making puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and sex change surgeries accessible to children. Their statistics are taken from qualitative surveys that are usually biased, inconclusive, and lack concrete statistical significance. Organization leaders from Gays Against Groomers have spoken to The Trevor Project multiple times over the past year to discuss our concerns with how they view child safeguarding (or lack thereof). They know exactly who we are. Rumor has it they don't like us very much. The feeling is mutual. Section one ends by stating that barriers are to be removed so that minors who are seeking protected health care services, including “gender affirming care”, are allowed access to youth shelters or temporary licensed accommodations. At first glance, it seems that this bill is intended to help transgender kids who have been thrown out into streets and are unwanted by their parents, but it also allows children in stable home environments to run away from their parents to seek out “gender affirming care." This bill allows children to seek accommodation at any licensed organization with a stated mission to provide services to homeless or runaway youth and their families as well as host homes and shelters. It’s important to note the definition of “shelter” listed in this bill. The bill states, “'Shelter' means the person's home or any structure over which the person has any control” as the definition. The bill fails to list off a decent set standards or safeguards to ensure that the runaway children end up in a safe environment. This leaves children extremely vulnerable to ill-intentioned adults such as pedophiles or sex traffickers. The procedures listed for contacting the parents of the runaway youth are extremely vague, as well. It states that the accommodating shelter may withhold all information on the minor from the parents if there is compelling reason to withhold. This means that rather than contacting the parents, the department is contacted instead, even if the parents report the child as a missing person. There are two scenarios listed as “compelling reasons” that allow the licensed accommodation to withhold information on minors from the parents. The first one listed is when a minor is being subjected to abuse or neglect at home. That one should absolutely be supported but was already allowed before this bill existed. The next line states that the shelter can withhold information on the minor if they are seeking protected health care services. They specifically define protected health care services as “gender affirming treatment” in this bill. Gender affirming treatment is what they use to describe things like puberty blockers, cross sex hormones and sex change surgeries. The fact that they placed seeking gender affirming treatment right next to abuse and neglect in the bill says a lot. If "gender-affirming care" is classified as lifesaving and necessary under the law, then one could make the case that parents who don't go along with it are unsafe and unfit to care for their own child. The Department of Youth, Children and Families is the department mentioned all throughout this bill. This is the department that will eventually assign a case worker to your child after they have run away. The typical process listed on their website for deciding whether or not you can reclaim custody of your child after a CPS referral has been made estimates an 18 month process in and out of court rooms. It can take longer in some cases, especially considering the fact that they are understaffed and overflowing with children as is. There is no protocol listed specifically for parents who’s child fled because they refused to provide the child with cross sex hormones or to undergo sex change procedures. According to the bill, the department is supposed to help resolve conflict between the family if possible, but it doesn’t describe or define what that means at all. If you look through the resources they provide for youth in foster care on their website, The Trevor Project, PFLAG, Human Rights Campaign and the National Center for Transgender Equality are what they have listed. Regarding minors in the foster care system, they state “Apple Health Core Connections (AHCC) is your health care plan. AHCC is able to assist you in accessing LGBTQIA+ services including counseling and medical treatment that meet your needs.” (LGBTQIA+ Youth in Washington State Foster Care) This means that your child will have the insurance coverage and everything else needed to start medically transitioning while you spend what could take well over a year fighting to reclaim custody of your own son or daughter. Whether or not you get your child back at all is heavily dependent on your child’s case worker and the department. The department is explicitly and unapologetically in support of youth having access to what they call “gender affirming care”. They advertise the fact that LGBTQ+ medical care is covered by the insurance that they provide to the children in their care and express an obvious bias towards medically transitioning the sex of children in their care. The leader of GAG's Washington chapter testified against this bill, but it unfortunately wound up passing. If a parent disagrees with their child taking hormones or getting surgeries that permanently alter their bodies, the government may now be put in charge for deciding whether or not these parents are safe enough to know the whereabouts of their children. It strips away parents' rights and hands them over to the state. Not only are children allowed to run away, but they are also provided with insurance, shelter, and the bodily autonomy to transition with little safeguarding. Children are too young to consent to these procedures. Any policy that grants minors such bodily autonomy over their reproductive anatomy should not be embraced if we truly care about the health, safety, and well-being of children. We expect to see more of these dangerous policies being proposed in states that have not banned child transition (yet). And we are going to fight them with everything we have in order to put a stop to this madness once and for all.

Books can be anything, from a tool for learning to an escape through the imagination. Unfortunately, they can also contain propaganda designed to shape impressionable young minds who don’t know how to question what they’re being told just yet. Gender ideology is not only harmful to gay people, but confusing and overwhelming children across the world. These are new concepts that extremists are pushing through any form of media they can, including books, most of which are sold on Amazon. These concepts not only erase what it means to be gay, but sexually activate young children by introducing them to mature content they may not be ready for yet. As a result, children may exhibit premature addictive sexualized behavior and find themselves in dangerous situations that could damage their psyche for life (or worse).Here are 11 titles that all parents need to be aware of: 1. Gender Queer (Graphic Novel) Marketed to 18+, Gender Queer, along with a handful of others on this list, has been exposed in several schools around the country due to its graphic illustrations of a teenage girl with penis envy who experiments with binders and strap ons. The story depicts the character experiencing severe gender dysphoria, fear of her own body, and incestual conversations about masturbating. We’re sad that ‘Gender Queer’ distorts what it means to be a female and doesn’t teach readers how to love themselves as they are. This book does NOT belong in school libraries, but unfortunately that’s where it’s being found. 2. The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish Swish Swish Marketed to literal infants (1+), this strange children’s book can be found being read by Drag Queens all over YouTube, including the author. Traditionally referred to as female impersonators, Drag Queens were once exclusively adult entertainers who made sexual jokes during provocative performances. We can’t for the life of us figure out why they suddenly want to read to exclusively children. We don’t see them at nursing homes or adult rec centers trying to entertain those who need it most, instead we see too many adults justifying why a man dressed as an exaggerated woman is the pinnacle of uniqueness that all children should admire. We’ve seen enough episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race to know most Drag Queens aren’t exactly role models for anyone, much less children. Y’all are a mess. Why are you so desperate to appeal to minors? 3. This Book is Gay Another title being found in school libraries, This Book is Gay is marketed to 14-17 year olds, and discusses gay sex in graphic details with illustrations included. Chapter 9 of the book is titled: “The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex.” But even more worrying than the pornographic explanations are the instructions on how to use sex apps. Despite the safety disclaimer which is obviously present to legally cover the authors butt, teenage readers are given explicit instructions on how to use apps to find strangers for sex. We shouldn’t have to explain why it’s dangerous for a 15-year-old to find this book and potentially end up in a vehicle with a full-grown adult who should know better. 4. In My Daddy’s Belly Supposedly in its pre-order stage, this book claims to be “appropriate for kids of all ages” and supports the idea that men can give birth. We strongly disagree, and so has humanity for its entire existence up until very recent years. We submit that if an adult wishes to appear and exist as a man, then said adult would relinquish all female functions due to the intense dysphoria it would cause to use them. Confusing for both adults and kids alike, this book completely distorts what a female is and takes the magic out of the miracle of childbirth to claim that anyone can do it. Because women can’t have anything anymore. This is lesbian erasure. This is being straight with extra steps. Just...no. 5. The Every Body Book Claiming to be aimed at children ages 8-12, ‘The Every Body Book’ capitalizes on the neo-ideology to warp young minds into believing that gender and sex are different, and you can be whatever you want to be despite your innate biology. Covering a wide range of topics, the book brags about using “gender-neutral language” and quotes specialists who think it’s a wonderful tool to teach kids about multiple personalities—oops, we mean identities, and incorporates racial diversities to ensure all kids know how to be nice to anyone who believes in the same pseudo-religious doctrine this book is pushing. Again, the concepts within this book are brand new to society, and there is absolutely no way the entire world will accept them because they contradict common sense and weaken already vulnerable people. 6. Flamer (Graphic Novel) Aimed at 14-17 year olds, Flamer is another title being found in school libraries depicting gay sex and sexual abuse. In addition to explicit sexual situations depicting minors, Flamer also depicts self-harm, internalized homophobia, offensive religious commentary and has been added to many LGBT reading lists. We can appreciate the representation of the journey of being gay, but this book does not belong in schools for young children. After TPUSA reported finding this graphic novel in a Tempe, AZ Elementary School district, the book was removed from their database. [source] Why was it there in the first place? 7. Bye Bye Binary Another children’s book supposedly for infants 1+, ‘Bye Bye Binary’ encourages parents to “break gender norms” by (gasp here) letting their child enjoy things. Newsflash: gay people have been breaking gender stereotypes for decades! Pink was once a color for boys in the Victorian era! Despite its intentions, this book solidifies dated gender norms from the 1950’s and reassures parents that it’s normal to ignore your child’s gender for years so they can choose it themselves by picking up a toy truck or a doll. The cover depicts a baby with an almost vengeful expression, as if it's aware of gender theory at the fresh age of 14 months. We doubt that. 8. Beyond Magenta Aimed at 14-17 year olds, Beyond Magenta is a concerning book about “teenage transgenders,” telling tales of gender dysphoric minors who sometimes described themselves as “sexually mature children.” These minors often talk about hiding their behavior from parents, running away from home, and sexually experimenting as young as six years old. Some teens in the book describe themselves as “non-binary,” a new concept that enforces gender binary and stereotypes while enabling a sense of victimhood under a system that no longer exists. ‘Beyond Magenta’ was listed in 2015 as the fourth-most banned book in the United States due to its anti-family sentiments and described sex acts of minors. Some activists say the book normalizes pedophilia. We don’t think anyone under 18 should read this book, and we’ve seen it removed from several school libraries already. 9. It Feels Good To Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity Yet another title that capitalizes on the new and confusing doctrine of gender ideology, ‘It Feels Good To Be Yourself’ is aimed at children 4+. The tagline says: “Some people are boys. Some people are girls. Some people are both, neither, or somewhere in between.” This book has the audacity to call this a “sweet, straightforward explanation of gender identity” while pushing the idea that children can betray their bodies and be whatever they want, even nothing at all. In the process, this book erases what it means to be gay. This is clearly propaganda designed to install a very specific vocabulary into the new generation. 10. ‘Twas the Night Before Pride An obvious ploy to solidify Pride as a religious holiday among LGBTQ+ zealots, ‘Twas the Night Before Pride’ is marketed to children ages 4-8 and attempts to simplify the serious hardships of gay people for kids. But do 4-8 year olds really need to know about Stonewall or AIDS? Does reducing these concepts for kids really help gay people or make kids nicer? We don’t think so. This just so happens to be one of the books Drag Queens insist on reading to children. It’s just not necessary. 11. A Kids Book About Pronouns Finally, this children’s book written by a so-called “trauma psychologist” with they/them pronouns teaches kids 5+ about “dismantling the gender binary” with pronouns never used in human history. According to gender-confused author Dr. Courtney Wells, it’s important to push these concepts on kids AND adults to make them uncomfortable until they submit to your demands. It’s unfortunate that Wells and her wife Lee have taken to erasing lesbian culture and traumatizing children with confusing rhetoric that turns their sense of self into a fluid and easily manipulated state. But hey, get that money, ladies! If you need a therapist with over 20 years of experience who knows how therapists are being programmed to spread this propaganda, visit our friend Pam at her substack here.

In just one week, RADAR has skyrocketed, and our work has already received attention in the media. We would like to thank all of our readers for supporting our mission to end the war on children. This week, our Communications Director and RADAR journalist, Judith Rose, was asked to appear on One America News Network to discuss her latest expose on the pedophilic roots of the transgender movement. It went viral and became our most-viewed article within the first 24 hours. She informed OANN's viewers of the truth about the colors of transgender flag – baby blue and baby pink. Given what we have learned about how gender ideology negatively impacts children over the past year, we speculate that this was not an accident. "The creator of the trans flag was a very disturbed individual who seemed to have a case of autogynephilia, which not enough people talk about. It's the sexual arousal at the idea or act of dressing as the opposite sex and going into their spaces. It's a fetish. The community really needs to examine that under a microscope because the root of all of it is perversion. And a lot of the groundwork has been laid by sexologists who pushed for pro-pedophilic laws in the 1960s and 1970s. The goal is to liberate youth from their parents and be able to consent to adult relationships." A lot of people are unaware of this, and they are always shocked when they realize what these colors might actually represent. It is highly disturbing that this flag has become normalized so quickly in such a short amount of time. And we also think that it is important for the gay adults who support our activism to have solid evidence and make their own decisions about whether or not they appreciate these colors being added to our flag. If it wasn't obvious, the inventor of the Progress Flag is not even gay. Many are skeptical when they first encountered it because it is no gay man would come up with something so unappealing. It is not an attractive flag design whatsoever. The Progress Pride flag was developed in 2018 by non-binary American artist and designer Daniel Quasar (who uses xe/xyr pronouns). The Progress Flag does not actually represent gay people. It is a far-left symbol that is used to virtue signal about social justice "progressivism." We completely reject this flag being used to represent anyone. Judith also discussed Florida's recent Title IX policies, which binarize the law on the basis of sex for school sports and spaces. When "gender identity" is added as a subcategory of "sex," then this allows girls to get undressed in a school locker room full of boys without parental knowledge or consent. Female locker rooms were placed in schools in order to ensure privacy and keep kids safe. "This is about children's safety ... These radicals have gone so extreme … I think it's great. It [the new rules that Florida has adopted] keeps everybody safe. I do hope to see more school districts doing this ... Many of these extremists believe that they can do no wrong. A lot of them come across as extremely unstable." Activists have adopted the belief that this somehow erases trans people. But that could not be further from the truth. Such Title IX regulations ensure parental rights and child safeguarding. This should not be controversial, but trans activism has taken a dark turn in recent years and put the rights of others in jeopardy. We feel like it is important to discuss these issues from within the community, because other prominent figures have been canceled, even for just asking questions. For example, the day before Judith appeared on OANN, singer and songwriter, Ne-Yo, was canceled for stating his opinion on sterilizing children. His publicist shortly retracted the statement. However, Ne-Yo was brave enough to issue a correction and reaffirm his stance on child mutilation. He posted a video, saying "If my opinion offended somebody...yeah sure, I apologize for you being offended because that wasn't my intention. My intention is never to hurt anybody." He made it very clear that he will never be okay with allowing a child to do something that detrimental to their life, at an age where they cannot make such permanent decisions. Ne-Yo clarifies that he plans on educating himself about this topic. The people accusing Ne-Yo of being anti-trans should educate themselves. Nearly 100 studies have been added to RADAR in order to make this as easy as possible. You can check them out at https://www.radar.gaysagainstgroomers.com/posts/categories/studies. Our team has been working night and day to get this malpractice banned in as many states as possible. It is something that we are passionate about because there is no sound evidence that this is the best way to help a child who is struggling with gender incongruence. In The United States, boys and girls are currently being injected with triptorelin -- the same drug used to chemically castrate people who assault children (Sloan et al., 2017). This is no longer being carried out in many countries across Europe. They've recently started pumping the brakes on this process because it is experimental and there is not enough evidence backing up the notion that this is "lifesaving health care." In fact, a recent study out of Denmark, one of the pioneers of this malpractice, found that the participants who received hormones and/or surgery did not have lower rates of suicide attempts. However, Ne-Yo has been criticized of opposing "lifesaving health care for trans kids." They also found that there has been a sharp increase in the rates of adolescent girls seeking transition over the past decade. In the USA, this started in 2013, when WPATH eased the restrictions for children to transition. Many studies note a clear social contagion amongst adolescent girls who have never showed signs of gender dysphoria until they became involved in friend groups with multiple "trans kids" in them. A lot of these girls grew up to become lesbian or bisexual women who were just confused during puberty and uncomfortable with the way their body started to develop (2023). In one study, almost 9 in 10 young people questioning their gender seemed to be subject to social influence. 86.7% of the young people in Lisa Littman’s 2018 study [1] belonged to a friend group where one or more friends came out as trans at the same time, and/or had an increase in their use of social media. Social contagion – the involuntary “catching” of behaviors and attitudes across connected individuals is a well-accepted phenomenon in psychological literature. It is well-documented that adolescents — and females in particular — are prone to social contagion effects, from cutting [4] to eating disorders [5]. Social network analyses suggest that peer contagion underlies the influence of friendship on obesity, unhealthy body images, and expectations. Upon further investigation, we noticed that Ne-Yo's critics seem very misinformed about what is going on. The American Academy of Pediatrics has decided to do a review of the available data for transitioning children. Even PinkNews, a British LGBTQIA+ news website, criticized him, even though their country has very recently halted child transition, upon discovering that it causes brain swelling in young children who still believe in The Tooth Fairy. We hope that more people become comfortable with speaking out against doing this to children. The more people who speak out, the quicker it will be prohibited. When Gays Against Groomers gets this outlawed on a national level, the people who defended it are going to be embarrassed of how ignorant they were to the truth. We would like to thank OANN for allowing us to discuss what our organization stands for on a national level. And we look forward to speaking with them again in the future about these pressing issues.

"The Queer Trans (QT) Project," a trans and queer organization out of Jacksonville, Florida has made it very clear that they are fighting for the civil right to sterilize children. Their founder testified against an anti-child mutilation bill that Gays Against Groomers helped put into law, in accordance to the Florida Dept of Health's Board of Medicine's Standards of Practice for the Treatment of Gender Dysphoria in Minors. The law wound up passing, in our favor. But that didn't stop child mutilation advocates from getting themselves into more trouble. A few months later, the founder of the QT Project, Cielo Sunsarae, was rejected for a job as lifeguard after her breasts were allegedly exposed in front of children at an aquatic center. This followed complaints from horrified parents of children who saw the incident during a training exercise in a pool shared with dozens of children (Pitts, 2023). "The Queer Trans (QT) Project" has come under fire for mailing inappropriate packages to children. According to their mission statement, "We are a black-led and trans-led organization on a mission to provide gender-empowering resources to LGBTQ+ individuals all across the world so that they have the power and confidence to create social change in their communities." The Queer Trans (QT) Project advertises these "gender-empowering resources'' or Build-A-Queer Kits to an audience of tens of thousands of children on Tiktok. These kits are discreetly mailed to "trans children'' filled with gender-affirming gifts like condoms, chest binders, and FtM packers. UNACCEPTABLE. According to queertransproject.org, "Our organization has provided over $90,000 worth of gender-affirming kits, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need. Our discreet 'packaging' ensures a safe and private experience for recipients, fostering an environment of trust and support." $90,000 Where would they get that kind of money? Well, their website asserts that The QT Project is "Fiscally sponsored by the American Trans Resource Hub, 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit organization." American Trans Resource Hub (ATRH) is a transgender rights non-profit organization "FOR Trans People BY Trans People." They have a Free Binder Program BY Trans Adults, FOR underaged girls. It gives minors (aged 13+) step-by-step instructions on how to get grown adults to mail them breast binders in discreet packaging, ensuring that parents are kept in the dark about what strange adults are sending their children. Chest binders (Peitzmeier et al., 2017) are very tight and flatten the breasts so harshly that they can cause lung damage (Cumming et al., 2016). Breast binding is NO JOKE. These devices are linked to health issues (Poteat et al., 2018) including chest pain (30%), becoming light-headed (30%), shortness of breath (49%), and back pain (65%). A lot of health issues from binding tend to show up over time, so there is not much information known about the severity. A 2021 survey of 1,800 females who bind their breasts found that they contribute to bad posture, rib fracture, spinal deformity, overheating, swelling, skin changes, scarring, skin infections, and they alters the healthy breasts of teenage girls. A lot of these young girls who get caught up in the chest binding craze go on to medicalize their bodies, resulting in infertility and cardiovascular malfunction (Alzahrani et al., 2019). Did Gays Against Groomers outlaw child sex changes in your state? If you still want to give these drugs to children, The American Trans Resource Hub has you covered. They have an interactive Provider Map so children can search for their nearest hormone distributor. States like Oregon provide hormone injections without parental awareness as young as 15. We cannot find a solid explanation for why The Queer Trans Project's "trans self-defense kits" were discontinued. But it was rather concerning to hear that these discreet packages contained pepper spray, knives, tasers, and coloring books…all secretly sent over to your daughter, free of charge (Gress, 2023). "Protect Trans Kids by mailing weapons to their house!" said no rational person ever. If organizations like The Queer Trans (QT) Project call you a bigot, do yourself a favor and take it as a compliment. You will never be on the wrong side of history standing up against this level of depravity.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has decided to do a review of the available data for transitioning children. We hope to see a sharp turn in the way The United States goes about pursuing gender medicine. If there's one thing that sane people can agree on, it's that no child should be put through something as invasive as a phalloplasty. No excuses. We will never let everyone forget that it was completely and totally okay to perform child sex changes (LA HB648, 2023) in the state of Louisiana before we stepped in. How could we not? What kind of lunatic would try to make the case that attaching a Frankenweiner to a teenage girl is EVER a good idea? How many more children are going to be put through this before the people in charge admit that they were wrong? It is shocking that trans activists claim to be the good guys while simultaneously fighting to do THIS to your daughters: We are confident that the AAP will make the right decision and ditch the idea that this is health care. It is nothing but a medical scandal that was engineered by gender ideology: a tyrannical hate-cult that gives adults permission to experiment on children's bodies. We predict that some professionals at the AAP will try to make the case that a national ban is "too restrictive." But we always make sure to be as up-front as possible, and the work we've put in clearly states what side we are on. They had proof that a social contagion was sterilizing gay teenagers and inflicting early-onset osteoporosis. And liars like Charles Clymer, from the HRC publicly defended that this wasn't even happening, but the data said otherwise. In 2019 one study alone recruited "49 male-to-female and 67 female-to-male gender dysphoric adolescents treated with triptorelin." Triptorelin is used by endocrinologists to chemically castrate PEDOPHILES (Sloan et al., 2017). Research reports from 2010 outright stated that "Various treatments have been used to manage sex offenders with varying success. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, such as triptorelin, a depot injection, cause castration-equivalent testosterone levels in men and are emerging as an effective treatment option in cases of severe paraphilia." It noted that this is most commonly used on pedophiles (Saleem, 2010). Another study on GnRH-analogues collected data from 70 gender-confused teenagers. Teachers and corrupt counselors are encouraging parents to inject these drugs into their children. Those who disagreed were labeled as bigots. That should terrify you. Gender-affirming care views children as objects that can be purchased. From "birthing people" to "cervix haver," the way they refer to children's bodies is peak dehumanization. At the end of the day, either child sexual reassignment surgery "isn't happening" or it is "necessary health care." Both cannot be true at once. In fact, if pediatric sex changes aren't happening, then putting a national ban on it won't change anything. The mere success of our movement alone proves that it is happening. If doctors weren't mutilating the bodies of minors, then there wouldn't be a reason for gays to organize and get it outlawed. Remember that.

After restricting the demonic practice of amputating the healthy body parts of children, also known as "gender-affirming care," sources out of the Tavistock gender identity clinic in The United Kingdom are finally speaking the truth. They said that "Parents will be glad to see these new restrictions in place. Extra caution for such interventions is reassuring, and it is shocking that it was not already considered essential." (Telegraph, 2023). National restrictions are being placed on this disaster all across Europe. While other countries are being honest about their mistake and owning up to the fact that "Attempted sex changes" should have never happened in the first place, ours is still lagging behind. It is only a matter of time before it happens in The United States. Obviously, not all of us have come to our senses yet. Restrictions vary by country and state. Some states have been able to criminalize this child medical abuse. We agree wholeheartedly. We have also lobbied for detransitioners or people who were harmed by gender medicine to file a lawsuit and seek justice. And we were even criticized and called transphobic when we assisted with passing the Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act (SAFE) in Missouri. We want all of the liars exposed. It is a scam that attention-hungry parents and manipulative doctors allowed to occur behind everyone's backs. There is nothing worse than a child sexual mutilation advocate. BAN IT. Anyone who sterilizes a child should be sent to prison. After lying to parents and saying that their child is going to die without "gender-affirming care," the professionals who pushed this all need to be held accountable. Just a few weeks ago, Miss Rachel Levine, the monster that was put in charge in the first place, publicly stated that sterilizing children is necessary. He claims that chopping up children saves lives and parents who disagree are dangerous. The true danger is gender ideology. Encouraging children to disassociate from their sexed bodies lets one's guard down. It makes it easier to cross boundaries. Gender ideology colonizes culture through language. Obstruction of language is ingrained within queer pseudoscience because its true goal is engineering a generation of children who believe that their body does not match their feelings. Restrictions are effective but we want all child sterilization ended permanently. Gays Against Groomers refuses to make peace with any of it. The idea that a child’s body is wrong and this behavior should ever be encouraged is unacceptable. No child has the capacity to consent. We are hopeful that honest medical professionals will ditch the political circus and come to their senses. Anybody who refuses to admit that they were wrong for encouraging this butchery is not acting in good faith. There is never a situation where a teenage girl is able to consent to having her breasts removed. Anybody who thinks otherwise is out of touch about what is actually going on and who these demons really are: Boundary-crossing Narcissists We want the scammers who extorted the feelings of mothers and fathers to be honest for once. Parents were lied to. They accused Gays Against Groomers of being terrorists. They subverted the education system to preach this garbage for five hours a day. Gender ideologues want society to cater to they/them/their beliefs and feelings without asking for anybody's consent first. NO, we do not consent to the idea that children should be able to change their gender. That is total lunacy. We do not consent to children being sexualized, indoctrinated, and mutilated to satisfy the thirst of a parasitic cult. We want this pharmaceutical death scandal completely terminated. This industry needs to be put out-of-business and never allowed to return. The Government must move further and faster to keep children safe. The lawsuits are being filed. Gloves are off. Queer Marxism is ruining gay men and lesbian women. Get rid of this plague.

Disclaimer: The point of this article is not to disparage all trans people, and we acknowledge the trans adults genuinely suffering from dysphoria attempting to live a normal life. We value our trans allies who align with us. Unfortunately, the deeper we dig into the ideology of transgenderism, the more we uncover uncomfortable truths that should not be ignored, but should be objectively scrutinized, taking into account their influence on the current day neo ideology. The modern-day LGBTQ+ movement concerns much of the community for many reasons. We wanted equality, but once gay marriage was legalized it's as though the movement was weaponized to find a new goal to profit from. The movement has become unrecognizably more invasive and demanding than we ever wanted, even going as far as refining what it means to be gay and therefore redefining our community. We have been forced to question how the T made its way into the LGB in the first place. After just a few simple searches, we have discovered several figures responsible for planting pedophilic seeds of the trans movement that have grown into the twisted narcissistic monster we find ourselves fighting today. For example, Robert Hogge aka Monica Helms designed the first trans flag in 1999 using the same infant referencing color scheme seen in symbols found on pro-pedophile websites: pastel pink, white and baby blue stripes. At first glance, most articles seem to describe Hogge as a noble veteran and first trans delegate from Georgia at the DNC (Democratic National Convention) with misunderstood interests and an internal struggle. He painted himself as something “ethereal” and “between worlds,” eventually being inspired by a friend to transition. Robert’s transition to Monica effectively ended his marriage and disrupted his family life. But like many trans activists of today, Hogge had several confessed perversions. He was obsessed with sex at an early age, admitting to “lusting after women.” Hogge has written several novels under the Helms name in which he describes his autogynephilia, or sexual arousal when wearing women’s clothes. He confessed to stealing women’s underwear, including his own mothers, and went on to write erotic fantasies about his fetish. In a story from his novel “tales from a two-gendered mind,” Hogge/Helms wrote a story sexualizing a “magical woman” who permanently looked like a teenage girl. Hogge is a prime example of why some gatekeeping ought to be in place for those in the transgender movement. His expressed sexual excitement upon wearing women’s clothing is a distinct sign of deep mental illness, and not necessarily true transgenderism. The movement is constantly trying to reassure the public that “it’s not a fetish,” while many openly display obvious fetishized views of their transition. So how do we separate the perverts from those simply suffering and trying to find comfort within themselves, especially when the perverts are the ones who have paved the way? After designing a flag using colors known to be present in the same pedophile symbols exposed by the FBI, did Hogge inadvertently sign a death sentence for the trans movement by conflating the two? Don’t get us started on John Money, a major figure behind the push to normalize pedophilia and one we have already exposed. Money coined the term “gender identity” and opposed the classification of pedophilia as an abnormal fetish, stating: “If I were to see... a boy aged ten or eleven who’s intensely erotically attracted toward a man... if the relationship is mutual, I would not call it pathological." Money used a wide range of psychologically deceptive language to justify an attraction to children as well as sexual activity both with and among children. He is best known for the Reimer Twin experiment, a tragic tale that ended in suicide. For whatever reason, many trans activists of today cite John Money’s work to justify the movement. Next there’s Volkmar Sigusch, a German sexologist who popularized the term “cissexual” as an antonym to “transsexual” which evolved into “cisgender.” The term is now being used so negatively by “cis hating” activists that Elon Musk has declared it a slur on Twitter, now known as X. Sigusch once said "There is nothing wrong with pedophilia in the sense of the word, that is, against liking, even loving, children. The sensuality that unfolds between a child and an adult is something wonderful." He speculated that the attraction to children is not harmful, and pedophiles deserve therapy to work through their feelings. This rhetoric is borrowed by groups like NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) and those who call themselves MAPS (Minor Attracted Persons) today. Sigusch is not the only German sexologist who had a soft spot for pedophilia. He is often credited as a “main thinker behind the sexual revolution of the 1960’s,” and other German sexologists during this time also saw sexual relations with children as progressive and harmless. In fact, Germany’s Green Party advocated for the abolition of Paragraph 176 of the German Criminal Act, which criminalized sex with adolescents under 14. In the 1970’s, a psychology professor named Helmut Kentler collaborated with Berlin authorities to conduct an “experiment” by intentionally placing foster children with pedophiles. It was during this time (1973) that Volkmar Sigusch began serving at the Institute for Sexual Science at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, where he remained until 2006. Known as the Kentler Project, this so-called experiment went on until 1988, when Kentler declared it a success. According to Dr. Sonja Levsen and her study on pedophile apologists, Sigusch is credited as one of the main advisory scientists for Dr. Frits Bernard’s paper titled: “Pedophilia–a Disease?” in which he concluded that the sexual abuse of children “did not damage their development.” Yikes. One of Sigusch’s first projects at Goethe University was with Gunter Schmitt. Together, they mislead teenage youth of West Germany with a deceptive study titled: “Teenage Boys & Girls In West Germany.” Participants were told the study was a general questionnaire regarding their homelife and habits, but Sigusch and Schmitt dove into intimate details about the teen's sexual habits, including masturbation and their earliest sexual memories. We cannot neglect to mention the infamous Alfred Kinsey, a sexologist who served at Indiana University and so-called “father of the sexual revolution.” His reports on human sexuality, known as the Kinsey Reports, almost immediately made the New York Times’ Bestsellers list, but many are unaware of his controversial methods and conclusions of research. These reports not only hypothesized that infants can experience orgasms but suggested that pedophilic and incenstual relationships were actually beneficial to children. His research was disproportionately based on surveys taken from sex offenders, prostitutes and prison inmates. In 2010, a victim under the pseudonym Esther White came forward to tell a disturbing tale of how Kinsey paid her father to rape her in the name of science for Kinsey’s study. [source] Today, a bronze statue of Kinsey sits on a bench at Indiana University, and many are none the wiser. Gender supremacists and radical trans activists of today have built a religious doctrine based on the work of these twisted minds and pedophile apologists. Their use of language is designed to force a new truth on the public, one that twists fantasy into fiction and demands a lack of questions, a glaring indication of cult thinking. Using figures like Sigusch to justify the separation of the terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender,’ these radicals are hard at work implanting the idea that gender transition cures all mental turmoil, while simultaneously claiming gender is a “social construct.” This doctrine has reached public schools, where impressionable innocents are easily led astray by advanced concepts designed to confuse and sexually activate them. But one cannot ask too many questions before incurring vehement reactions from radical trans activists. It is a deeply psychological and misleading movement that fails to address the many complications and concerns of advocating for child sex changes, and instead gaslights individuals who argue against it. We cannot help but notice several of these activists have slipped up and admitted their attraction to children in some form or another. Indian trans activist Alok Vaid-Menon has attempted to convince the public that “little girls are also sexy.” While we can ignore Alok’s experimentation with self-expression, this quote is a big red flag that should not be taken lightly. TikTok personality Jeffrey Marsh has sparked controversy with problematic LGBTQ+ related content that encourages children to sever their relationship with their parents if they perceive any kind of discrimination at home, imagined or otherwise. Marsh refers to himself as a “they,” reinforces the idea of a gender binary while simultaneously denying it and encourages youth to subscribe to his Patreon for personal chats. His tactics are shared by child groomers like Jack Reynolds, a convicted pedophile who openly explained to the public that one of the first things a predator will do is establish or corrupt a child’s relationship with their family. These radical activists who cite the work of pedophiles and pedophile sympathizers often advocate for “youth liberation,” or the idea that children can make their own decisions. This has never been an accepted idea in society for a laundry list of reasons, from a lack of experience to an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. Using an ideology designed by perverts to push detailed sexual “education” designed to activate and radicalize, the neo trans movement is largely responsible for creating a hostile environment for all trans individuals, and not just those pushing the doctrine. Why? Because now children are the target. But if you know your history, this isn’t a surprise at all. It’s just something we must expose and fight against. Sadly, it’s evident that government institutions are collaborating with this pedophilic agenda, much like Germany’s Green Party and Berlin’s authorities during the Kentler Project. We want nothing to do with these perverts disguised as “LGBTQ heroes.” Many other so-called “trans rights activists” are carrying on the legacy of their pedophilic ancestors like John Money by insisting that children are sexual beings who should take puberty blockers to prevent their development, something that could stunt them into looking like children forever. Meanwhile, the United States is a hot spot for child trafficking, and according to a documentary titled: “Cut: Daughters of the West” by Canadian director Simon Esler, trans children have become a commodity among traffickers. Coincidence? We don’t think so.

The open letter, published in the Wall Street Journal on July 13, responded to a June letter in the Journal by Endocrine Society President Stephen Hammes. The letter reads: As experienced professionals involved in direct care for the rapidly growing numbers of gender-diverse youth, the evaluation of medical evidence or both, we were surprised by the Endocrine Society’s claims about the state of evidence for gender-affirming care for youth (Letters, July 5). Stephen Hammes, president of the Endocrine Society, writes, “More than 2,000 studies published since 1975 form a clear picture: Gender-affirming care improves the well-being of transgender and gender-diverse people and reduces the risk of suicide.” This claim is not supported by the best available evidence. Every systematic review of evidence to date, including one published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, has found the evidence for mental-health benefits of hormonal interventions for minors to be of low or very low certainty. By contrast, the risks are significant and include sterility, lifelong dependence on medication and the anguish of regret. For this reason, more and more European countries and international professional organizations now recommend psychotherapy rather than hormones and surgeries as the first line of treatment for gender-dysphoric youth. Dr. Hammes’s claim that gender transition reduces suicides is contradicted by every systematic review, including the review published by the Endocrine Society, which states, “We could not draw any conclusions about death by suicide.” There is no reliable evidence to suggest that hormonal transition is an effective suicide-prevention measure. The politicization of transgender healthcare in the U.S. is unfortunate. The way to combat it is for medical societies to align their recommendations with the best available evidence—rather than exaggerating the benefits and minimizing the risks. This letter is signed by 21 clinicians and researchers from nine countries.

Hunter, M.D. Florida State University Pediatrician and bioethicist Transgenderism has been highly politicized—on both sides. There are those who will justify any hormonal-replacement intervention for any young person who may have been identified as possibly having gender dysphoria. This is dangerous, as probably only a minority of those so identified truly qualify for this diagnosis. On the other hand, there are those who wouldn’t accept any hormonal intervention, regardless of the specifics of the individual patients. Endocrinologists aren’t psychiatrists. We aren’t the ones who can identify gender-dysphoric individuals. The point isn’t to open the floodgates and offer an often-irreversible treatment to all people who may have issues with their sexuality, but to determine who would truly benefit from it. Jesus L.
