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

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

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

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

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

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

You may have seen the word “ autogynephilia ” circulating online, but how many of us truly understand what it means? According to psychiatry research, individuals like Kris Tyson may be exhibiting a fetish known as autogynephilia . But what exactly is this sexual fetish, and how is it impacting our children? Kris Tyson left  his wife and child to pursue gender transition. Instead of being a father, he chose to follow his fetish. Here he is posing in sexy photos dressed as a schoolgirl with stiletto heels. Tyson was also caught having sexual discussions about liking 4-year-old  girls. The Oxford Dictionary  defines gender dysphoria as a chronic aversion to physical or social attributes of one's own biological sex; a state of severe distress or unhappiness caused by the feeling that one’s “gender identity” does not match one’s biological sex. This symptom is more common in young boys and typically presents itself early in life. Gender distress usually resolves after the onset of puberty. A very small minority of children with a gender dysphoria diagnosis claim a cross-sex identity in adulthood. However, with the social shift away from requiring a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and the adoption of the “self-identification” model, the lines between fetishes and reality have become blurred. Children's entertainer, Kris Tyson, was outed for promoting pornographic “Loli” cartoons and anime smut featuring little girls doing sexual acts. This content is classified as Child Sexual Abuse Imagery on Google. Autogynephilia (Transvestic Disorder) is a paraphilic disorder. After analyzing years of research, sexologists began to realize that there were trans-identifying  individuals for whom the thought of being a woman is a sexual fantasy. For example, one individual recounted imagining telling his parents and doctor that he was really a girl, and imagining himself undergoing sex reassignment surgery, all while feeling horror at the prospect of becoming sexually aroused. Another man described wearing women’s clothing and feminizing his body as sexually exciting , even after receiving “gender-affirming” surgeries. He would pretend to menstruate by urinating in sanitary pads, particularly enjoying the old-fashioned belted pad with long tabs. Trans tampons have become a heated topic, with politicians like Tim Walz legislating them to be put in bathrooms built for little boys. Boys’ bathrooms do not need tampons. It became apparent that there was a subcategory of people who identify as trans but do not experience gender dysphoria at a young age. Instead, they experience ecstasy and arousal at the thought of becoming female, usually beginning in adulthood. People with this paraphilia will feminize themselves to alter their appearance, and it is strictly for sexual gratification. Their fantasies about being a woman are formed solely around becoming the object of their own fetish. Men who leave their families to identify as little girls are publishing this type of written smut as we speak. Stefoknee identifies as a 6-year-old girl, and he published a disturbing memoir for other men with this fetish. It is marketed towards men who have a sexual desire to abandon their children and live as a little girl. This is just another way of normalizing transgender child abuse material. KEEP THIS OUT OF OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES. One individual in an autogynephilia research cohort remembered becoming aroused at the thought of becoming female when he was around 9 or 10 years old. It wasn’t until he started therapy that he began appearing In public dressed as a female. In the early days, he would become aroused whenever anyone addressed him as “Ma’am” or performed some courtesy such as holding a door for him. This arousal led to a heightened fear of discovery…that his erection would give him away. Some of these men even “dress up” as nuns . “Even though my wife is a natural female, I can block her out and make believe she is penetrating me; or when I am lucky, she will play along and kiss me with her tongue and tell me what a pretty girl  I am.” These men often marry women, most of whom have no idea of their husbands’ sexual fantasies. Women who lost their husbands  from this are called trans widows . They have started to come out and explain the first noticeable signs that something was…different…about their husbands. Many trans widows have caught their husbands masturbating while wearing women’s clothing in secret. They have watched their husbands become sexually excited while engaging in stereotypical feminine tasks, such as shaving their legs. Women and girls do not become aroused while shaving their legs. This is a fetish of its own. And it is sweeping the nation, destroying marriages at a staggering rate. Kris Tyson is a prominent online trans celebrity whose content is geared towards minors. He spontaneously began identifying as a woman and left his wife to pursue transition, despite being a father and husband with a crippling addiction to loli-content. This led fans down a deep rabbit hole of Kris’ past sexual remarks. In a now-deleted tweet, Kris Tyson admitted to liking anime child pornography. This has led many to speculate that his transition is closer related to autogynephilia, as it can be related to other sexual disorders, such as pedophilia or even furries . Autogynephilia and autopedophilia are both categories of erotic target identity inversions, or ETIIs. In other words, it is a sexual paraphilia in which a person is aroused by the thought of being the object of one’s own sexual desires, and these disorders tend to cluster. Some examples of ETIIs include autoanthropomorphozoophilia (animals or “Furries”), autonepiophilia (infants), autoandrophilia (men), autopedophilia (children), apotemnophilia ( limb amputation fetish ), autonecrophilia (CORPSES), and of course, autogynephilia (men who identify as women). These ETIIs have led to the abuse of animals, children, and DEAD BODIES . None of these would be considered socially acceptable, with one exception: Transvestic Fetishism. Rates of autogynephilia (Transvestic Disorder) have risen in recent years, with speculation focusing on porn consumption. Andrea Long Chu  won the Pulitzer Prize [ REDUXX ] for a paper titled “Did Sissy Porn Make Me Trans?” It went viral . Sissy porn , also known as “Sissy Hypno” (short for sissification  hypnosis), is the forced feminization of men. Sissy hypno  is a subcategory of transgender-labeled pornography . The term transgender has become one of porn hub’s most popular  searches, in fact it more than quadrupled  from 2014 -2017. In these videos, the anus and penis are renamed to “clitty and pussy.” These hypnosis videos show pictures of sexualized clothing for kids, with little girls giggling in the background. Hypnotic themes of stiletto heels splattered in BLOOD  are common. Neon sissy hypnosis videos with bloody shoes  have been viewed across platforms millions of times. Childlike voices whisper in the background. Andrea Long Chu  speaks on the hyper-sexualization  that was sparked in part due to so-called “trans feminism.” In the paper, Andrea describes how porn feminizes men by allowing them to be consistently submissive for sexual gratification. Porn requires no effort, no other physical activity, none of the work while still releasing the same connection and pleasure chemicals in your brain, such as dopamine along with bonding chemicals such as oxytocin, that sexual activity does. Porn trains your brain to do very little physical or mental work and be sexually gratified, and it is highly addictive. Porn consumers usually find different taboos and fetishes from recommendations by the porn website. It can send the user spiraling down a rabbit hole of perversion. Studies show that pornography is addictive  and lowers testosterone levels in men. Andrea Long Chu was castrated and a “ fake vagina ” was created. Andrea Chu describes how replacing a natural sub/dom dynamic with a sub (male) and dom (pornography) can alter a man’s masculinity – “this power dynamic, not in the sex acted out between the powerful men and fawning women onscreen, but in the sex unfolding in real time between the pornographic image in its entirety and the viewer its flickering fantasies render powerless and obsessed…I suspect like a great number of heterosexual men, watches porn not to have power but to give it up.” A Reddit user explained: About 3 years ago, I discovered sissy hypno videos [that’s ‘hypno’ like short for ‘hypnotism’], which in a nutshell are flashing subjective images telling you to wear panties, be girly, and even take hormones. I became completely obsessed with these videos. Nothing got me off like these. It got to the point where I started wearing panties and imagining myself as a girl when I would masturbate.” There are a ton  of Reddit posts in trans online spaces questioning if their gender dysphoria is/was caused by this type of forced feminization porn. And THESE are the people who are talking to teenage girls about “gender-affirming care” online. This is the core issue: There ARE  men who are being indoctrinated by pornographic content. It would NOT  be surprising if Kris Tyson was one of them. Some of these men consume so much loliconification content that they even start to dress up as cartoon babies and children, themselves. After a while, adult males like Kris Tyson who sexually promote lolicon pornography leave their wives. They invade women’s apps . And they live a life of crossdressing and grooming the youth online with lolification content. It is so sick. It was also explicitly stated in our first run-in with Kris Tyson's demonic behavior  that these men have a fetish for “dressing up as lesbians.” And just a few months later…we received photos…of Kris Tyson…wearing the lipstick lesbian flag…as a dress. Men who watch pedophile cartoons and abandon their children to pursue their fetish are NOT lipstick lesbians.  How is this “lesbian visibility?” What visibility? You are very visible, sir. Don't worry. We see you.  One Reddit user posted, “I started watching trans porn initially five or so years ago and I remember I had post orgasm regret. Back then, I imagined myself as the guy… About a year and a half ago, I started to imagine the possibility of being the girl in these scenarios. I… wanted to be ‘forced’ to be f---ed by a man because I was turned on by the submissiveness of it. I dreamed about going to gloryholes or being blindfolded as men used me as an object for sex. Recently, I’ve started to really question everything. I love the attention and consequently feeling like the woman. This has led me to have some gender dysphoria, as I would love to be the woman and see where that would take me in my life (fully transitioned transwoman). TL;DR my sexual and gender identity has been completely flipped on its head because of sissy porn/hypno.” A multitude of users shared their similar experiences and concerns only to be publicly shut down by trans activists suggesting that their fetishes are simply a byproduct of their Gender Dysphoria, not the cause of it. To be clear, there are some men who suffer from autogynephiliic transvestism and are addicted to pedophilic anime pornography, like Kris Tyson. The   anecdotal evidence definitely suggests a correlation between trans hypnosis, sissy pornography, Lolification, and some men’s desire to feminize themselves , especially with the significant rise in numbers as of late.  ‘Gays Against Groomers’ DEMANDS Kris Tyson be REMOVED from MrBeast’s videos. ( DramaAlert, 2024 ) There may be some people who ask, “why does anyone care what other people do with their sexuality?” And to that we would like to put it as bluntly as possible- men who have autoerotic paraphilias are acting out their sexual fetishes in public and society is being forced to join in their sexual fantasies. They want everyone to participate in their fetish, INCLUDING CHILDREN. This  is what makes the Kris Tyson situation so problematic. This  is why Kris Tyson deserves to be on the media chopping block. There has been a sharp  rise in men who watch trans hypnosis pornography over the past two years. There have also been more and more adult men developing fetishes for dressing up as babies and wearing diapers. It is a horror movie come to life. THIS  is what we are speaking out against: Adult Baby content available on Reddit, along with Lolification chat rooms. Gays Against Groomers was banned from Reddit , though. Go figure. Men are engaging in their fetishes while working in schools with children, while in their locker rooms, and in restrooms with our daughters. A quick search online will display men crossdressing in women’s public bathrooms while masturbating on camera. Men, so sexually aroused by being able to engage in such an intimate, private part of a woman’s life that they need to relieve themselves in the stall next to girls who are changing their tampons. Men all around the world are taking advantage of the LGBTQIAOHMYGOD+ acronym and using it to further pursue their own sexual desires publicly. Let’s not forget that people with autogynephilia are sexually aroused by being “affirmed” by others…even a classroom  full of schoolchildren. Need us not forget the Canadian  teacher who started coming to schools to teach with massive, Z-cup fake prosthetic rubber breasts with protruding nipples and wearing women’s underwear.  This was clearly  sexual in nature. Child predators can come to school dressed like this under the Harris-Walz Title IX “gender identity” policies. We also want to make it abundantly clear - not all men who engage in AGP look like something out of a comedy movie. A very concerning aspect is most of these men are able to “pass” and assimilate as transgender. These are men who dress as women, wear women’s underwear and have society use she/her pronouns. It could be the next door neighbor who wears his wife’s panties in secret, or the masculine athlete who has a secret stash of women’s clothing hidden in his closet. This is becoming a mainstream issue, taking many forms. Fetishistic Crossdressing is a growing issue that is blurring the lines around a very dangerous paraphilia. Kris Tyson isn't the only one…men all around the world are becoming consumed with it. It’s destroying marriages and lives. And it is coming for the schools. It's time we start talking about this problem without fear of being canceled. It isn't transphobic to speak the truth, and having concerns doesn't make you a bigot. References Aggrawal, A. (2010).

The 2024 school year is now in full swing. Teachers have gone out of their way to prepare for their students. They've spent months going over the curriculum and decorating their classrooms. We were recently contacted by a concerned parent whose child attends a middle school in Suffern Central School District, NY. Their child came to them, rightfully alarmed by a questionnaire their teacher had them fill out. The form asked the children what pronouns they use and if it was okay to use those pronouns in front of other students. As if that isn't weird enough, the survey also asked students aged 10–13 if the teacher needed to hide their identity from their parents. The whistleblower child has a very close relationship with their parents. Their kids told them right away. This concerned parent went to an open house and noticed Progress Pride flags in the classrooms…multiple flags plastered all over the room. This has just become a religious ritual at this point, complete with its own symbolism and ceremonies. This whistleblower parent confronted the teachers in question, expressing their concern. The teachers regurgitated the same “we are fostering inclusion and a safe environment” line. An adult should NEVER have secrets between them and a minor. No safe adult should ever encourage children to keep things from their parents. The only other time this happens is when a child is being abused. This is opening the door for trusted adults to take advantage of children, ensuring they will already be comfortable keeping things from their parents. This is the active disassembling of the parent-child relationship—grooming at its finest. New York enacted a policy titled “ Guidelines to Support Transgender and Gender Expansive Students ” This policy encourages teachers not to disclose a transition to the parents for “safety” reasons. The policy also states “the student is in charge of their gender transition and the school’s role is to provide support.” In layman’s terms, no matter who or what the student decides to identify with, the school’s job is to affirm. This affirmation extends way beyond just preferred pronouns; it encompasses the child as a whole. The NYC Department of Education provides, upon request (and online), a “Student Name and Gender Change Request Form.” This form allows a student to change their gender marker and name. The gender marker options are male, female, and X (neither male nor female). The form also states that the student's legal name and “previously designated gender” will be archived in the DOE system. The policy also ensures that the student will be allowed access to locker rooms, bathrooms, and sports that align with their preferred gender. Horrifyingly, since the child will now be labeled as male or female, the policy makes it clear that during all overnight field trips, the student will be housed with the gender they identify with. Meaning, if a boy identifies as a girl, during overnight trips, he will be housed with the girls. Unfortunately for our children, this is becoming a growing issue within schools. In July of this year (2024), Gavin Newsom signed into law that educators are PROHIBITED from disclosing a child’s change in identity or social name to parents. This means that if a teacher is concerned about a child suddenly transitioning at school, they will be legally penalized for notifying the student's parents. Thankfully, ten states have passed bills in the opposite regard. According to Education Week , Montana, North Dakota, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Utah, and Arizona have all passed “pronoun laws” requiring parents to be notified of their child’s change in identity. The bills are only possible to even begin to legislate due to parent concern and high outrage. Parents have begun to see what is being pulled right in front of their eyes. Now is the time to stand up. Now is the time to speak out. We must legislate counter bills in every state in the nation, and it can only be done with the support of parents. The war on children and families is finally coming to light. What side of history will you stand on? References New York City Department of Education. (2024).

We know there is a huge debate amongst many that Lupron  (leuprolide acetate) is used as a puberty blocker for adolescent children, and is sometimes used for precocious children, which is rare. However, what we are seeing is that this drug actually does far greater harm, not just to the body, but also to the minds of children. It is completely experimental. Lupron has been used to sterilize rodents, like rats and capybaras. The drug is also used for prostate cancer patients. Whatever the intended use of the drug, its harmful effects are entirely unnecessary, especially when it comes to the natural processes of pubertal development. When you chemically alter the body, it is never 100% reversible. It takes time for the body to return to its original state, and often requires another chemical process. As a detransitioner myself, after ending the use of hormone replacement therapy with cross-sex hormones, the drugs I took have still left my body in a feminized state, particularly my chest. So, when we consider this, children put on puberty blockers like Lupron also need time to return mostly to their original state. When you stop the development of the body with Lupron, brain development stops as well. It locks the brain in a state where it no longer develops naturally. The brain does not progress beyond an adolescent state because it either stops completely or remains on a spectrum of partially returning to its original state. NOTE : There are no longitudinal studies on the long term effects of Lupron as a puberty blocking agent in children. There are serious ramifications to using a drug that blocks brain development, including cognitive and behavioral issues, such as lower IQ and mental health problems. According to Sallie Baxendale, "There is no evidence that cognitive effects are fully reversible following discontinuation of treatment" (Acta Paediatrica, 2024-06, Vol.113 (6), p.1156-1167). She further states, "There is some evidence of a detrimental impact of pubertal suppression on IQ in children.” It could be suggested that the cognitive decline in children’s brain  functions due to puberty blockers is comparable to a traumatic brain injury, as these drugs induce a pause in brain development. Although there is no direct evidence of this, anecdotal cases suggest a correlation between the use of puberty blockers and an increase in behavioral issues. These issues often manifest in violent behavior among individuals under the age of 25. I mention age 25 because that is typically when full brain development occurs naturally. Children and young adults under this age are affected by these drugs, not just physically, but mentally as well. Image: The University of Queensland According to The University of Queensland, brain development happens at approximately 35 days, 100 days, 9 months, adolescence (around age 14), and is fully completed by age 25. We can conclude that any developmental delay in the human body will also affect the brain , with such delays—if not permanent—having lasting effects on cognitive decline and the potential to cause behavioral issues in children whose brains are not fully developed. Lupron is a drug used to block puberty in young patients who identify as trans. Delays in natural brain development due to such treatments can have lasting effects, impacting not just children but also young adults. References Baxendale, S. (2024).

The world of camping and scouting, once known for instilling leadership values and creating lifelong friendships, has been infiltrated by a movement that sees childhood as a political playground. The Boy Scouts started taking a turn for the worse after decades-long sexual abuse by troop leaders came to light, with over 80,000 men saying they were abused. This scandal led them to declare bankruptcy. Instead of choosing to rebuild and create an organization that truly promotes healthy child development, they’ve decided to embrace a radical rebranding. They welcomed girls into the Cub Scouts and later scrapped their iconic name  for the neutered "Scouting America.” The backlash  was immediate. Eagle Scouts, veterans, and parents felt alienated by an organization that seemed more interested in ideological pandering than in the well-being of children. It goes to show that no child's space is safe from the reach of a movement that seeks to blur biological reality and endanger our youth. This is the deliberate dismantling of an institution that shaped generations of young men! It makes you wonder if 'Scouting America' is just trying to save face after declaring bankruptcy from having to shell out millions of dollars in legal damages. We see right through their corporate cover-up. As always, our fans at Media Matters  wrote a hit piece, citing Gays Against Groomers’ firm stance  against the rebrand as an example of right-wing pundits pushing anti-LGBTQ messaging to stir up bigotry. But the Boy Scouts  rebranding was not an isolated incident. They are just the latest victim of a wider contagion infecting scouting  and summer camps  nationwide. These were once havens for kids to escape the pressures of school and discover their potential in the great outdoors. Now, many camps are being rebranded as “ gender-inclusive ” and repurposed into laboratories for gender experimentation, where children as young as eight are encouraged to announce "preferred pronouns" and are housed according to these fluid identities, not their safety or biological needs. Camps that once emphasized teamwork and resilience now promote "gender affirmation" above all else. Counselors, often barely out of their teens, are tasked with navigating the complex mental health needs of prepubescent children questioning their identity. CampOUT!  is a summer camp  in British Columbia for queer, trans, Two-Spirit, questioning, and allied youth with campers as young as 14. They specialize in "drag workshops" where drag queens encourage campers to "explore identity and what it means to be human." That sounds a little culty, don't ya think? According to their website, "Cabins are organized by AGE! … It is a helpful way to organize cabins to be gender inclusive!" This means mixed-sex sleeping arrangements and facilities where boys and girls will be housed together. What could possibly go wrong? Drag is not for kids. And any parent who knowingly sends their kids away to such a place needs a reality check. Camp Indigo, as described on its website, is a "summer day camp for transgender and gender diverse youth in California, Colorado, Ohio, and Texas." The camp claims that everything they do "benefits the community" and that they are "honoring our intersectional identities, protecting spaces for our most marginalized campers and staff, and celebrating the magic that is being trans." They claim to push inclusivity, but the camp only  includes “transgender and non-binary children,” explicitly excluding anyone who doesn't go by special pronouns. Adding to the controversy, Camp Indigo offers activities including attending Pride events. “Camp Indigo teens participate in off-campus pride events that occur during the camp day. Also, gear up for an on-campus trans prom!” As we have seen from the exhibitionism run amok in the streets this past month, it is safe to say that these events have become increasingly explicit, often featuring attendees in kink-related clothing, widespread nudity, public displays of fetishes and sex acts, a Pride Parade is the last thing a child should ever be subjected to. It has been reported that the camp's environment can lead to children feeling pressured to make “gender-affirming changes” they might not have previously considered. According to their website , “it isn't uncommon for teens (especially) to see/learn about possibilities that they hadn't yet considered and to feel a strong need to make gender affirming changes … We really encourage avoiding statements like, ‘what if you change your mind?’ This doesn't typically land well with our kiddos!” Not only is Camp Indigo a hotbed for social contagion , but parents who send their kids there are told to obey and affirm whatever identity their child comes home with. Camp Indigo says that a healthy transition is “one that is child-led ,” noting that kids “need to feel like they’re in charge, because it’s their body. As caretakers and adults in these kids' lives, we really have to prioritize these opportunities to truly convey that the child has that autonomy.” The camp serves minors aged 5-17, divided into three groups: ages 5–11, 12–13, and 14–17. The camp for the youngest children, aged 5-11, is particularly concerning. At such a young age, children should be playing outdoors and learning social skills at summer camp, not being groomed into an identity crisis that only hormone injections can fix. It starts with pronouns, but when a child is considering pursuing a medical route, Camp Indigo has the resources for them and provides guidance from the activist clinicians themselves. Dr. Ilana Sherer , who is considered a pioneer in “gender-affirming care,” discussed fertility preservation methods for children who have had their puberty blocked in an interview with Camp Indigo. “Though I haven’t had any of my trans masculine patients harvest eggs, some of my trans feminine patients have undergone experimental testicular tissue preservation,” she said, referring to a testicular biopsy . This is a very controversial procedure  where child butchers remove  a portion of the underdeveloped testicle, freeze  it, and hope that some stem cells are available in the future to harvest (Costa, 2023).  If a child is not even mature enough to produce gametes, then they are most definitely not mature enough to remove part of their testicle. No child can consent to such grotesque experimentation. Children are not lab rats. Where were all of these "trans kids" twenty, ten, or even five years ago? What was once a vanishingly rare medical condition and niche subculture has managed to spread like wildfire among children, to the point where they now have their own summer camps. In 2020, Dr. Ilana Sherer  spoke very fondly about the sharp rise in children identifying as transgender and nonbinary, stating that “Kids are now taught they can be whoever they want to be. We’re breaking down this imaginary social binary that tells you what each gender should do, but we’re also telling kids that you are in charge of how you live your best life and your best self.” It is extremely alarming that an organization openly boasts about specifically targeting children who express discomfort with their biological sex in such a manner. These “trans camps” are just taking advantage as a means to control and program the next generation according to their own agenda. Alabama lawmakers  even tried to intervene and add Space Camp  to their extended Parental Rights in Education bill. Space Camp is a place where children learn about NASA, the space shuttle program, and our nation’s history in space. Children always stayed in sex-separated dorms with male counselors overseeing boys and female counselors overseeing girls. Well, that no longer seems to be the case. An Alabama Space Camp witnessed an uproar over its trans-activist employee when evidence of online misconduct surfaced in a Facebook  post by Clay Yarbrough, the parent of a potential attendee. "My daughter was planning on going to Space Camp next week, but we have just found out that this freak is a team lead and a hall monitor in the girls' dorms and at times, could be allowed to be alone in the halls at night." Another concerned parent commented on Yarbrough's post, stating, “Molly was in the same room with female children campers where the directors told us personally that ‘Molly’ isn’t allowed to be.” Molly Bowman, the staff member in question, has a history of promoting the radical trans agenda to minors and adults. Bowman frequently boasts about exposing others to 'gender-affirming' imagery and messages. Bowman posted a picture of a notebook adorned with several “gender-affirming stickers” to use at his new Space Camp job. Molly Bowman’s now-hidden Twitter account contains multiple problematic images and posts with violent and sexually charged content, including references to cross-dressing and being 'a girl that has a dick.' It is both concerning and alarming that Space Camp, once a beloved institution, seems to have prioritized diversity over the safety and comfort of its campers by hiring people who parents simply cannot trust. The post also revealed that one of their former Camp Counselors, Chase Derek Flatau , was arrested for POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY .   Despite backlash, Bowman has only been transferred out of Space Camp, not fired from the organization altogether. As children, we had summer camps and scouting organizations where we could join and learn to grow. Our parents often worked hard to shield us from what could best be described as the horrors of the world. Today, however, it seems many adults are indifferent to what children, including their own, are exposed to. If parents want to send their son or daughter to summer camp without them coming back radicalized, they should make sure to look into who is running it first and know what they're signing their kid up for.

A few months ago, we noticed that Gays Against Groomers had its own Wikipedia page. It was surprisingly much longer than we predicted it would be. And what we found was very disturbing. It was filled with incoherent conspiracy theories, fabricated stories about non-existent members, fairy tales about how we are secret billionaires who want to take over the world, bigoted slurs, and it even compared us to Adolf Hitler. The author made outrageous accusations that are not backed up by any facts or evidence. The Wikipedia page includes a reference list, indicating where they got their information. It is based on tabloids from vicious publications like Media Matters, random tweets from deranged trans activists, and a podcast episode where Imara Jones lists off some ideas that they outright admit are conspiracy theories. It is odd that someone would go through such great lengths to discredit a nonprofit organization with a noble mission. But after we did some digging, we found that it was created by a user named "TransAnarchist" and was locked for editing. We released a short statement correcting some of the odd claims that were made. Since we had no way to edit and fix this issue, we hoped that it would eventually just go away. It hasn't. Our membership has skyrocketed since late Spring. We have accepted over 120 members so far. Our movement is stronger than ever. And we do not want anyone to be discouraged from doing activism with us based on what that website says. Since this problem does not seem like it is going to fix itself, we figured it would be best to go through these accusations one-by-one and give an official response to each of them, in order to provide clarification about who we are and what we stand for. 1.) Accusation: "Gays Against Groomers (GAG) is an American far-right and anti-LGBT organization known for campaigning against gender-affirming care for minors, protesting school curriculum content with LGBT themes, and criticizing Drag Queen Story Hour events." Response: Gays Against Groomers is a strictly non-partisan organization. We have members who come from all backgrounds and viewpoints. We have apolitical members, gays who work in politics, gun-wielding gay couples from The Bible Belt, and Michfest lesbian feminists from California who all disagree on many things. But we are willing to unite with those who think differently than us for one common cause: ending the war on children. I have voted Democrat in every election and even campaigned for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the Bronx in 2018. Calling us "far-right" is absolute nonsense. We are critical of Drag Queen Story Hour events because we feel that some of the outfits and routines are too raunchy and revealing. There is no reason for a male crossdresser wearing fake breasts to read books in front of a room full of kindergarteners. Some queer activists claim that these events promote acceptance and teach children to respect the "LGBTQIA+ Community." Taking your kid to a drag queen event to teach them how to respect "LGBTQIA+ people" is like taking them to a strip club to teach them how to respect women. The books that they are reading to these children (aged 3-11) introduce very complicated topics about gender identity, gender transition, being "trapped in the wrong body" and imply that humans can change sex. Some of these children are becoming confused and are led to believe that their body is wrong. While Drag Queen Story Hour is presented as a wholesome family event, it is vastly inappropriate for 4-year-olds to attend. If a pair of lesbian mothers wanted to visit their child’s classroom and read a book about how every family is different and unique in order to promote tolerance, then that would be a great idea. However, we do NOT approve of pornographic material being given to children at the school library, and neither should you. Not only is that disgusting, but cartoon pornography has nothing to do with being gay and this does not benefit us in the slightest. In fact, it does the exact opposite. We reject the pseudoscience that is being forced down children's throats. Boys and girls are being taught that men can get pregnant, gender is a spectrum that changes from day-to-day, puberty blocking drugs are safe, and biological sex is not real. They should be taught the truth: Sex is binary and immutable. Sex is determined based on whether your reproductive system is organized to produce small or large gametes, an estrogen/androgen-dominant endogenous hormone profile, and the presence of a Y-chromosome (SRY gene). We should get back to teaching kids about reality, instead of lying to them. "Gender-affirming care" for minors must be outlawed and criminalized on a federal level. Most children who meet some of the criteria for “early-onset gender incongruence” outgrow their dysphoria and wind up being gay and lesbian adults. Gender distress will alleviate for upwards of 80% of these kids when they go through puberty. However, instead of letting them experience their natural puberty, they are being given puberty blockers and injected with steroids instead. One follow-up study of 139 gender dysphoric boys determined that 88% of them desisted and did not go through with transition and chemical castration. This child abuse is being banned all over Europe and recognized by professionals as the new gay conversion therapy. We believe that any form of conversion therapy should be outlawed, whether it is in the form of organ removal or "praying the gay away." Stop transing the gay away. Why would anybody who claims to support the gay community be okay with sterilizing and amputating the body parts of confused children? Instead of letting them grow into healthy gay adults, they are medicalized and forever dependent on pharmaceutical drugs that cause osteoporosis, heart attacks, brain swelling, and uterine atrophy. Accusing us of being "anti-LGBT" is ridiculous. Personally, I am so thankful that I'm gay. How could I not be? I wouldn't want to be anything else. That is the main reason why I am in this fight – the popularization of this new gay conversion therapy is the most worrisome trend I have seen in a long time. I love being a gay man. And if I was growing up today, I would have been transitioned and denied that experience. Anybody who supports the needless butchering of same-sex oriented teenagers are no friend of our community. You support gay conversion therapy and abuse. This medical scandal is being shut down both nationally and internationally. When it is finally destroyed for good, we fully intend on calling out the anti-gay tyrants who promoted it, even when they had enough available evidence showing how evil this is. 2.) Accusation: "A spokesperson for the LGBT advocacy group GLAAD has claimed that we characterize the LGBTQ+ people as pedophiles." Response: If the child sexual mutilation advocates at GLAAD actually paid attention, they would see that GAG calls out the bad behavior of straight people as much as any other group. Queer ideology's hostile takeover of our institutions is having devastating effects on children. Our organization feels that it is important to fight it from WITHIN the community and working together to do what is right. For instance, we constantly point out the filth that has entered the public school curriculum. This curriculum was not created by gay people. It was created by straight people. The vast majority of corrupt teachers and counselors who we expose are straight people. The predatory pharmaceutical industry that is creating permanent patients out of innocent children is also controlled by straight people. GLAAD has recently shifted its focus towards "trans rights" and advocating for "queer people" instead of gays. On March 24, 2013, GLAAD announced that it had formally dropped "Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation" from their name and would now be known only as GLAAD to reflect their work more accurately. The NGO has made it very clear that they no longer have the same values as they used to. Given the false claims that they make about GAG, they seem to be the ones who promote the defamation of gays and lesbians who disagree with child medical abuse. 3.) Accusation: Gays Against Groomers is only promoted by right-wing media outlets. Response: We want our message out to EVERYONE but the only media that will give us a voice happens to be more right-leaning. We would love to make appearances on left-wing media, but sadly, we have yet to receive an invitation from any, nor do they reply to our requests. 4.) Accusation: “On August 19, 2022, [Jaimee] Michell told One America News Network that they are working toward a federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors.” Response: This statement is correct and we are nearly halfway there. 5.) Accusation: “In September 2022, the Miami-Dade School Board was considering declaring October LGBTQ+ History Month as they had the year before. Before the school board meeting, Gays Against Groomers had trucks drive around the city claiming the district teaches "radical gender ideology." The truck was also parked outside the board district meeting during the vote.” Response: We sent a billboard truck to a Florida school board meeting to voice our dissent about gender theory being taught in the classroom. The #GAGtruck displayed some of our slogans to get our message across while it drove around Miami. This was the first time we used a billboard truck. It was so successful that we have been sending these trucks to cities all over the country ever since. In June, we attended seven pride festivals and sent our truck to each one, playing our Pride Month ad. We received an avalanche of applications, and in the past month, our organization has grown in membership by a whopping 26%. It is a peaceful and effective way of endorsing our message. We do not understand why anybody would take issue with it. Regardless, we would like to make it clear to our haters that if our Gay nonprofit wants to drive our Gay truck around the Gay Village and park it next to The Stonewall Inn (a downtown NYC Gay bar where the Gay rights movement originated) at the Gay parade for all of the Gays to see, then we have as much of a right to do so as any other "LGBTQIA" organization. Seeing gay and lesbian couples hunt down the truck in order to take a few pictures in front of it was out of this world. They looked so happy when they saw it for the first time. And they repeatedly thanked us for the work we do and content we create, with huge smiles on their faces. Radical gender activists can say whatever they want about us, but we know that we are doing the right thing for our community. 6.) Accusation: “In January 2023, the head of the Arizona chapter of GAG voiced his support for Arizona Senate Bill 1001, which would prohibit teachers and school officials from using students' preferred pronouns if they do not match their gender assigned at birth without written permission from parents.” Response: Nobody has the right to keep a child’s cross-sex identity a secret from their parents. Teachers would never affirm a student's anorexia behind their parents' backs, putting them on a one-way path to liposuction. So, why are they affirming a child's perceived "gender identity?" Supposedly, the reason for affirming their identity at school is that it "positively affects their mental health." However, recent data says otherwise. A new study surveyed 1,655 parents of children who have recently adopted a cross-sex identity. They found that after social transition, children became much worse off, showing an increase in psychosocial distress (Diaz et. al, 2023). Their mental health deteriorated considerably. Socially transitioning a child at school might actually harm children’s mental health. Social transition is directly correlated with persistence in trans identification, and these children are more likely to become sterilized with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. 7.) Accusation: “Alejandra Caraballo, a clinical instructor at Harvard, described GAG as "a conservative funded propaganda account to push the groomer ‘libel.’" Response: We are a non-profit and all of our funding comes from selling our own merchandise and small donations from our supporters. Caraballo spent months harassing us at one point. Less than one week after our Twitter page launched, she/her started a conspiracy theory that Gays Against Groomers is run by Nazis and compared us to people who worked for Adolf Hitler. In actuality, our founder and president is a Jewish lesbian, and we do not appreciate that level of bigotry. Caraballo was also responsible for doxxing our founder's last name, although she was going to make it public eventually. 8.) Accusation: Child mutilation and gay conversion therapy advocate, Imara Jones, speculated that The Heritage Foundation was funding Gays Against Groomers, suggesting we must have a budget of close to a million dollars and stating it could not have come organically from the gay community. Response: As lovely as that sounds, we do not have a million dollar budget, nor are we funded by The Heritage Foundation. If that were the case, then we wouldn't need to sell t-shirts on our website in order to get the job done. A lot of the people who buy our merch and donate ARE in the gay community. Any money that we get is put towards our activism and none of us are profiting off of this whatsoever. We are all volunteers. Gay adults love the work that we are doing and express their gratitude everyday. However, child sexual mutilation activists would rather lie about us because they hate the fact that our organization's existence destroys the narrative that all of us agree with butchering children. That could not be further from the truth. 9.) Accusation [Imara Jones]: “Gays Against Groomers is not a nonprofit. They receive unlimited cash from a secret billionaire Christian CABAL.” Response: Please go see a counselor. 10.) Accusation [Imara Jones]: “It’s actually a giant clan, a billionaire clan. They [the Christian cabal of billionaires] shop for people from the communities that they’re targeting who are willing to essentially carry the message that they want them to carry if they give them a large enough check. And so they will go out and they’ll look for a Jaimee Michell — this is not uncommon — they’ll be actively looking for these people online or elsewhere. And once they find them, they will either engage them or platform them or say, ‘Can we introduce you to other people?’ and that’s literally how it gets started.” Response: Once again, we are not affiliated with any of these fascist billionaires they keep referring to. There is no evidence for this claim whatsoever. It comes from a conspiracy theory that Jones came up with for a podcast. We have no idea who any of these people are. That is psychotic. No, thank you. 11.) Accusation [Imara Jones talking about GAG]: "A lot of the TERFs that you see platformed, and TERF organizations, it’s all because the Heritage Foundation went and found them..." Response: None of us are funded by The Heritage Foundation or any far-right organizations. Jones referred to our founder as a TERF (in a derogatory way). "TERF" or "Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist" originally started out as a homophobic, anti-lesbian slur. Jones then proceeded to compare our movement to the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Sexist, bigoted men have been referring to lesbians as "Feminazis" for decades. This is nothing new. But now the misogynists are wearing lipstick, which somehow makes them immune from criticism. Go figure. They did the same exact thing to JK Rowling for two years and she wound up being right about everything. So, we will take it as a compliment for now. In conclusion: Gays Against Groomers DEMANDS that this issue is addressed immediately. We want the false accusations GONE. We want the bigotry REMOVED. We will no longer tolerate fraudulent statements presenting themselves as facts. Gays deserve way better than this. And we are more than willing to help with this process, if needed. We also invite "TransAnarchist" to reach out and let us know what city they live in so we can drive our Gay truck around and ruin their day. Unlike the pronoun supremacists, we don't get easily offended over everything. But there are some instances where eventually, you need to put your foot down and set the record straight. When dealing with a bunch of liars, all you need to do is tell the truth.

What defines a medical professional? One thing that all medical professionals are sworn to adhere to is the Hippocratic Oath. In essence, the Hippocratic Oath is a set of rules and guidelines that medical professionals must obey in order to uphold ethical medical care. “It requires a new physician to uphold specific ethical standards.” Unfortunately, there are many examples of medical professionals who do not seem to take said oath very seriously. One of the most notable examples is the infamous Dr. Jack Turban. For many of us growing up, we were taught that doctors and nurses are our heroes. We were taught that we could trust them to make us feel better. Unfortunately, Jack Turban is not one of them. One would think that a medical professional would want to help those with certain conditions get better or perhaps even learn to manage them. Instead, Jack seems to think that “Access to gender-affirming medical care [puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones during adolescence] is linked to better mental health outcomes in adulthood.” A simple Google search would reveal quite the opposite of what Jack preaches. Currently, 24 U.S. States have restricted access to these interventions due to the irreparable harm that they cause. “Gender-affirming hormones and surgeries” have NOT been proven safe or effective at improving the mental health of children who experience distress over their biological sex. ‘Doctor’ Turban frequently clashes with anybody who does not share his worldview. He previously blocked one of our members for merely asking for proof of Turban’s claims. Why should a graduate from Yale Medical School and former intern with Stanford advocate for experimenting on children? Instead of helping these kids, he chooses to abuse his power by surgically altering minors with unnecessary medical procedures. Jack Turban’s new book, "Free To Be," was released on June 4th, 2024. It is easy to read, well-written, and provocative. One would expect that a professional—assistant professor at a major university, and with an MD (a psychiatrist, no less)—would have clarity of thought, a high level of personal and professional ethics, and value creating the best outcomes for distressed youth. However, Turban fails on all counts. His audience with this book is not specifically minors with a trans identity, but parents and other adults who may otherwise intervene on behalf of a child. He’s grooming his accomplices. The format of the book centers around the stories of three “gender expansive” youth whom he follows for several years, with the middle section filled with composite characters and Turban’s predictable arguments against safeguarding children. He presents the children as small sages who “know who they are” long before they have any adult understanding of themselves, life, sex, or their own future adult lives. Turban checks off the main “trans child” boxes. The first is a little boy encouraged to think he’s a girl, rather than a feminine boy. The family is described as affluent and accepting, and the home is large and inviting. The child is carefree. All the basic tropes of a gender non-conforming boy's interests meaning that he’s a girl are present. No one thinks he may grow up to be a gay man or a feminine straight man – he’s definitely a girl. The second child is the quintessential suicidal daughter of “transphobes,” rescued at the emergency room. There is no exploration of why this girl so desperately wants to be anything other than the young woman that she is – trauma, autism, porn, nothing. The third child is the “non-binary” non-conformist. He’s a boy who likes this and that, and does not “identify as” a boy or a girl in particular. His mother is also portrayed as progressive, attentive, and forward-thinking. After introducing us to his protagonists, Turban loads us on the trans train, trumpeting its gender pseudoscience. He diligently uses all of the gender cult vernacular as if it were a given, not recent social engineering. We go down the tracks of sex being assigned at birth, dismissing it as “based on genitals the doctor saw when you were born.” He starts us right away, questioning what sex is, as if humans have not known what sex is before we became Homo Sapiens. As if the doctor, midwife, parents, the janitor at the hospital, or the three-year-old next door doesn’t recognize the existence of sexual dimorphism. Turban distinguishes gender expression and “gender identity,” going to great lengths to convince us that not only do human beings have a “gender identity,” but that said identity is beyond question, ever. He introduces us to the concept of “cisgender” being a natural contrast to “transgender,” as if that nomenclature made any sense whatsoever. One cannot be “on this side” or “the other side” of their own sex. Genderists like Turban will insist that sex and gender are different, and then in the same breath conflate the two. Turban does this throughout the rest of the book. Another element that goes unchallenged in Turban’s book is the hyperfocus on the individual and the individual’s often internet- and sometimes pornography-fueled self-concept as a public issue rather than a private one. Obsessive navel-gazing and self-absorption are antithetical to functioning as a society, especially when it drives public policies, like sex-segregated spaces, child education, and sports. After framing the mythical gender as trumping the material reality of sex, the author explores the history of mothers being blamed for unexpected developmental trajectories in their children. Using the errant belief that children were autistic because their mothers were poorly engaged is compared to the mothers of trans-identified children, as if there is no social capital to gain for mothers of a “trans child” in the current climate. They then get to be The Best Ever Mother by investing in their child’s error – that they aren’t the sex they are. Parents do want the absolute best for their children, and sometimes that includes the unpopular act of telling them “No,” especially in an environment of social contagion. In this exploration of the “trans child,” Turban’s only mention of autism is to debunk autism being caused by the mother. He ignores both the DSM-5-TR and the WPATH Standards of Care (8th edition) which make note of the correlation of trans identities and autism. Turban also ignores the correlation of trans identity with mental illness, assault, having a special needs sibling, borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders. None of these co-existing risks are acknowledged whatsoever. The most shocking aspect of Turban describing child sterilization is not just that he calls it “gender-affirming care,” but that he refers to a minor’s breasts as “chest tissue.” This is an example of linguistic sleight of hand that warps people’s thinking without their awareness. This linguistic sleight of hand that non-consensually shifts the thinking of well-intentioned parents and teachers is a major threat to the well-being of children finding their way into maturity. There is no “top surgery”; it is a radical double mastectomy for girls and breast implants for boys. There is no “bottom surgery”; it’s vaginoplasty or phalloplasty, which often leaves patients sexually dysfunctional. He also describes blocking puberty as some sort of benevolent “pause.” This is absolutely false. Blocking puberty affirms that a child’s healthy body is wrong somehow, while denying the myriad dangers of subverting puberty as a coping mechanism that never solves the actual distress. While painting medically transitioning his little sages as wholesale right and good without exception, he completely ignores detransitioners and desisters. He doesn’t even dismiss those who detransition or desist – he completely fails to acknowledge them, the reasons why they are generally invisible to contemporary research, and the implications of their strong voices. After delving into all the prescribed gender language and narratives, he returns to our three sages and their relationship with puberty blocking and transition. Clearly, they have all been “affirmed” as a special kind of person throughout Turban’s research and follow-up. The little boy who thinks he’s a girl accepts puberty blockers as if he were rescued from the gas chambers. Obviously, someone encouraged him to believe that growing up is the worst thing that could happen to him. The suicidal child is too old to block puberty, but her apparently Neanderthal parents are coerced to accept cross-sex hormones. She performs the ritual of The Sacred Testosterone Injections, as if this is normal or addresses the circumstances that led her to disassociate from her sex. Our third sage, who rejects male stereotypes and also rejects transition, is probably the best situated, though they intend to keep approaching him about radical medical interventions to which he can’t consent. Turban wraps the book up by reiterating his major points. Though in his book, Jack Turban says that sexual orientation is based on “gender identity” and not sex. He has no problem throwing all homosexuals under the bus with his trans narratives. Yes, our country does have a lot of work to do. We need to depend on the educated to do the right thing, to earnestly seek to do good, to discern what’s real and what’s right. Yes, children have the right to be their funky selves – to be feminine, masculine, or any combination. They also have a right to their healthy bodies. Children aren’t little sages. They depend on adults, on us, to lovingly guide them to be their integrated selves so they can live their best adult lives. They depend on us to lovingly tell them the truth. And unfortunately, when it comes to Jack Turban, that does not seem to be the case. References: American Psychiatric Association. (2022). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
