Arizona Democrat lawmakers teamed up with Planned Parenthood last month to host a “Drag Story Hour” at the Capitol in Phoenix, where a Drag Queen read a children’s book to a group of adults, encouraging the parents to “listen to your kids” and encourage them to transition, the Texas Family Project reported. This concept is so confusing that the Drag Queen had to make his point with a children’s picture book to push parents into allowing their young children to pursue gender transition. These children aren’t old enough to make any other permanent decisions on their own, but somehow they are mature enough to know that they were supposedly born into the wrong body. It is clear to anyone who is paying attention that Drag Queens who support “family-friendly” events and those who are upset that children are not allowed to be in attendance at shows that are meant for adults are indeed trying to indoctrinate and groom the current generation, and then indoctrinate parents into going along with it. And this isn’t a problem that just suddenly became an issue in the last year or two. One Drag Queen named Dylan Pontiff, who goes by the name Santana Pilar Andrews, even admitted in 2018 what the goal was and that “this is going to be the grooming of the next generation.” Pontiff made it clear that “we are trying to groom the next generation” and that’s going to be “very beautiful.” “We want educators to teach future generations of children to accept queer sexuality. In fact, our very future depends on it. Recruiting children? You bet we are,” activist Daniel Villarreal wrote in a column back in 2011. Villarreal admitted in that piece that talks about how they are not trying to indoctrinate your children is a lie. “We trip all over ourselves promising not to mention queers in front of the kids when in fact we’d love to,” Villarreal wrote in the piece. There is a group of boundary-crossing narcissists who are openly admitting that they are indeed “coming for your children.” It is long past time that we take them at their word and put an end to things like Drag Story Hour and “family-friendly” drag events, and make drag shows 18+ only, like we would with any strip club. No rational person opposes preventing children from being in attendance at shows that are sexual in nature, regardless of their sexuality. It’s not anti-LGBT or even anti-drag to say that children should not be in attendance. It’s time that we start making the health and safety of the next generation a priority.

You may have heard of the controversy surrounding a trans activist's disqualification from a political campaign in Ohio. This decision, deemed "transphobic" by many, is a result of Joy not revealing his "deadname" (birth name) during his candidacy declaration. Hearing people say "deadname" instead of "birth name" can be jarring because it substitutes "birth" with "death," giving the impression of killing off one's old self. The term "deadname" actually holds significant weight within the transgender community, referring to a name that should be permanently left in the past because it belonged to a person who no longer exists. This name, even if known by close friends and family for years, is seen as a life no longer led. Any mention of it is forbidden, and some places have declared deadnaming to be a civil rights violation warranting discrimination. It's a very morbid concept when you think about it. It puts others in a situation where they are mandated to pretend like someone they've known their whole lives is no longer here... as if that person has died. We reached out to the Ohio Board of Elections for more information but unfortunately did not receive many responses. Our Legislative Director looked into the specifics and determined that Joy's removal ties back to the Ohio code, specifically Section 3513.271, which mandates the disclosure of any name changes within the five years leading up to the filing of a statement of candidacy. The law is clear in its requirements, protects American citizens from criminals and criminal activities, and even Vanessa Joy admitted to understanding the logic behind his removal. We found no evidence of this being done to cause harm. It is not an attack on anybody's identity. Erin Reed is infamous for promoting fear and division, often distorting the meaning behind child protection laws and framing them as an attempt to ban the trans community from going out in public. No, seriously. He said the same thing about our drag ban. Did Miss Erin forget that laws in the United States are created to help the innocent, to ensure that the average United States citizen is protected against criminals? The law was created so the public can vet candidates who may have been known under other identities. But Erin Reed wants you to believe otherwise. In the article “Transgender Candidate Removed From Ballot In Ohio Over Decades Old Name Change Law,” Erin Reed pushes fear into the hearts of many by stating “the Republican party of Ohio could potentially weaponize this against trans candidates across the state.” (Reed, 2024) This narrative that the Ohio code is a tool of transphobia, designed to prevent individuals with gender dysphoria from running for political office, is a lie. If this was the case, then there wouldn't be so many individuals from the trans community being elected to government positions. Admiral Levine is the 17th Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service. That alone shatters the myth of systemic barriers aimed at the transgender community in politics. Joy's accusations didn't end there. He also targeted married women, criticizing the law for not acknowledging women who change their names due to marriage (Humanity, 2024). Perhaps Joy doesn’t understand that, although it’s not as commonplace, men can also change their names due to marriage? Also, marriage is not just between heterosexuals. Homosexuals marry, too, and proudly carry one another’s last names! Also, taking another person’s last name in marriage is quite different than completely changing one’s entire name to match their new identity. As it pertains to the Ohio law, marriage records are easily accessible with all previous names listed in a registry. Marriage records are far different than concealing a previous name and should not be used as an excuse to spread hate against married women. Joy wants you to see him as someone who is warm, kind, and gentle, filled with love for humanity. A woman who loves her son and wants to be a warm mother rather than a cold father. Joy claims that he didn’t know about the law in Ohio and blames others for his lack of knowledge, yet, as his podcast listeners hear over and over again, he allegedly doesn’t have a job; therefore, he has time to go over each of the campaign laws with a fine-tooth comb. That would be a wise use of time. It’s understandable that Joy wants to present as a professional on Linkedin. However, the joblessness was also a lie. There is another face to Joy that he doesn’t want you to remember, even though he said he had no problem with everyone knowing about it -- pornography. “And I have an OnlyFans account, too, which should spice things up a little bit,” Joy bragged in episode 30 of the Transcending Humanity podcast. He also proclaimed, “I’m embracing the stuff that makes me look bad.” These are bold words for someone who wanted to run for office! What is Joy trying to hide? Not much from his paying fans, apparently. Joy claimed his campaign was going to focus on things such as free childcare paid for by wealthy corporations and not focus on his trans identity. However, the entire purpose of Joy’s podcast, YouTube videos, and other social media platforms is to focus on his transition and the transformation from Jeremy Michael Adams to Vanessa Joy. In several episodes of the Transcending Humanity Podcast, people who do not think like Joy or who question Joy’s motives are called vile and considered enemies; even when describing himself as a male in the very first episode, Joy said he didn’t like being “an entitled cis-white guy.” Even in Joy’s YouTube video under the handle “Vanesstradiol,” he implies that anyone who agrees with the decision to prevent children from having their healthy organs removed are fascists. This is the face Joy wants to hide from the public so he can claim victimhood over a law intended to protect Ohio citizens from criminals. As heartwarming as Joy wants to be perceived as, he seems to run a tireless tirade against men and women whom he sees as a non-ally and a threat. In episode 30, Joy agreed that 3-year-old children can identify as the opposite sex and change their gender. He also admitted to exposing himself in front of his toddler while dilating himself to ensure that his surgically constructed neo-vagina would remain open. Joy is not hesitant to share information about dilation on TikTok, as well as, the names he gave them. Yes, this man named his dilators. Imagine if a woman admitted to doing something like this? There is never a situation where a child should be exposed to a dilator or understand how it is used. Joy openly admitted to having an OnlyFans page, hated himself for being “an entitled cis-white man” before transitioning, believes that 3-year-olds can determine their own gender, and uses dilators in front of his child. And this person expects everyone to believe that he is a victim of an “outdated” law. Do not fall for this false narrative. In actuality, Joy is a bully who uses his influence to spread hate against men, women, and children who do not conform to his views. He wants people to believe that, while he was dilating himself in front of his toddler, he was being discriminated against by a law set in place to protect Ohio citizens from electing nefarious individuals. But from what it looks like, the only nefarious individual whom Ohio needs to worry about is Vanessa Joy. Even Facebook is not safe from Joy’s oversharing. When Joy advocates for 3-year-olds to change genders, he wants them to experience exactly what he is experiencing and deems gross in his Facebook posts: Joy is notorious for spreading misinformation on his podcast, even admitting he just reads things that fit his narrative without verifying the information, proudly proclaiming in episode 28 “I haven’t verified any of that. But when do we verify anything on the show? You know? People listen to us because we’re cute and stuff.” From trying to be an Onlyfans celebrity to pleasuring yourself in front of your child, to claiming that children as young as 3 can change their gender, to pretending to be a victim while victimizing married women… Vanessa, my dear, we are calling you out. We have your number, Joy, and it's not #1 Mom. References: Codes. (1995). Ohio code: Section 3513.271 | Name change within five years immediately preceding filing of statement of candidacy.

Nude men on bikes. Nudist booths. Naked people in fountains. Since when is this socially appropriate? The unsettling trend of public nudity in the presence of children is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. There is a worrisome rise in the number of men who are looking to mingle in "family-friendly spaces" while naked. Our culture seems to have taken a shift and is now starting to defend the idea of children being around naked adult strangers. Looking at the comment sections in the now-viral videos, there are hundreds of people defending the nudists and their behavior. "It's natural!" or "We should be teaching our children to love all bodies!" or even "I am glad we are moving towards showing children that their bodies are nothing to be ashamed of!" While these ideas may seem innocent and maybe even empowering, they are, in reality, opening the doorway for the exploitation of children. Children are not inherently sexual. However, that doesn't mean they don't understand or cannot feel when something isn't quite right. Most children do not realize why they are uncomfortable being around naked people, but they have a gut feeling that they know is amiss. They become aware that something is making them feel unsafe. An intuition telling them to leave, avoid contact and find a safe adult. This intuition is what helps save countless children from falling victim to abuse. It is important to follow the lead of these natural progressions and validate that there are some parts of the body that should be private. Validating this isn't to teach shame, nor is it to make the child feel a stigma—it reinforces healthy boundaries for themselves and others. Teaching children that a naked adult stranger being around them is appropriate erodes the important natural boundaries children should have with others. This is especially true if a trusted adult is actively telling them that nudity is a positive thing while exposing the child to it. This also opens the door for an adult to persuade a child into taking their own  clothes off, putting the child in a perilous situation - potentially leading to assault and/or child pornography. This movement is creating a playground for predators, grooming children into dangerous adult-child relationships. There is a small portion of the population trying to normalize children being around naked adult strangers, and we fear that they are using the radical queer movement to push their agenda. We cannot believe this even needs to be said, but a grown man showing a child their private parts is completely unacceptable and should set off major alarm bells. What kind of message are we sending to our kids? Do we really want them to think it's okay to ignore their instincts and stay quiet just to avoid body-shaming or being offended by something "natural?” Do we want our children to believe that it is normal and safe to be around naked men exposing their genitals? Are we okay with the potential consequences this movement has? This behavior blurs the line for kids, making it harder for them to understand what is safe and what is not. Our top priority should be protecting the well-being of our children. During Pride Month, it is crucial for our community to have open conversations that address these tough questions with a commitment to true equality. Our children’s safety and innocence are on the line.

If being pro-trans means defending the cold-blooded terrorism of a child killer, then it is understandable how average Americans would view gender extremism as the human rights disaster it has shown itself to be. Excusing the behavior of a demented cross-dresser who likes to surround himself with children and pole dance as “gender expression,” sends the message that what this person is doing is not only normal, but publicly acceptable. It is neither. Trans activism has shown itself to be the biggest threat to child safety that we have seen in our lifetime. It is grooming. A seemingly fringe belief system has taken a totalitarian level of control over our language and culture, fundamentally changing the rules for how we are allowed to describe the devastating atrocities committed by the worst kinds of people. In this new system, sex offenders get awards and positions of power in “Pride” charities, but the gay people who sound the alarms get framed as the villain. A news segment denouncing a child murderer is tarred with “hate speech” allegations. Gay people who denounce pedophile propaganda get branded with fabricated terms like “cis-supremacists” and dangerous antisemitic conspiracy theories, ultimately framing a Jewish woman as Adolf Hitler. This new system demands the submission of well-meaning people, using hate campaigns and pressured speech to silence anyone who recognizes material reality. Not only is it grooming of children, but it is grooming society to accept the grooming of children. Last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center had the audacity to add Gays Against Groomers to their "Extremist Files" and say that our description of Audrey Hale, the deeply disturbed woman who shot up an elementary school, as a "deranged psychopath" was discriminatory. We stand by what we said and gladly say it again: Audrey Hale was a deranged psychopath. She deserves no respect whatsoever, and anyone who mourned her death or excused the bloodshed should be ashamed of themselves. And yet their behavior is unsurprising because the same genderqueer communists who rally in support of a school shooter accuse parents of being domestic terrorists for speaking at school board meetings. Go figure. SPLC’s website does not provide a reference list, but when you take the time to click through their linked sources, you will find hit pieces, celebrity gossip, communist blogs, Wikipedia, corporate hate campaigns from the past, and more nonsense. For instance, in November 2022, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported that Newsweek has "taken a marked radical right turn by buoying extremists and promoting authoritarian leaders.” The mistake they made was citing Newsweek as a source in an article about Gays Against Groomers. That is not a professional investigation; that’s just lazy. The same author went into deep dives about volunteers from our organization who were removed over a year ago, with rumors based on Kardashian tabloids and a brief internet beef we had with Bruce Jenner on social media last summer. But if you ask the queers, even they seem to know that Jenner is prone to publicity stunts, and is therefore not to be taken seriously. They irresponsibly sourced information from Alemandra Caraballo, a very unstable individual with a history of stalking, doxxing, anti-gay harassment, and failed attempts at vilifying the women who founded our organization. This information is outdated and incorrect. The introduction to SPLC’s hit piece states “GAG has more than a dozen chapters in the United States and abroad.” We now have double that amount of state chapters and are currently only operating within the US. Downplaying our number of chapters is clearly an intentional attempt at downplaying our entire organization. Let this formal response show that The SPLC's accusations were not only hostile, incorrect, and mentally ill, but they reflect pure prejudice. Their persistent lying is unacceptable. We have a right to defend ourselves against intolerance with integrity and return the favor by adding them to our platform, as well. SPLC, you're on our RADAR. 1.) Accusation (Censorship): “The group also supports censoring LGBTQ+ people, topics and images.” Response: The author cites misinformation from an organized censorship campaign, courtesy of GLAAD, HRC, and Media Matters to get us banned from the internet. This is an extremist version of “censoring LGBTQ+ people, topics, and images.” 2.) Accusation (“Critical Race Theory” books): Gays Against Groomers attacks anti-racist and LGBTQ+ inclusive education practices. Their evidence was an article that did not even mention us. Response: Gays Against Groomers has consistently been clear in our messaging: We request that sexually explicit books about harming children be removed from the classroom. 3.) Accusation (Drag for kids): “The group characterizes these people and institutions as ‘groomers’ because they support gender-affirming health care and/or because they offer spaces for LGBTQ+ people to express their identity openly, such as space for drag performances (the satirical sendup of gender roles).” Response: If you need to strip for children in order to openly express your gender identity, then yes, we demand that you be less open about it. 4.) Accusation (problematic flag) They claim that our flag discriminates against LGBTQ+ people of color, noting that “a version of the Progress Pride Flag that replaces stripes representing LGBTQ+ people of color and trans people with the GAG logo. Response: Both the Progress Pride Flag and Transgender Pride Flag were invented by white men, neither of whom identify as gay. The baby blue and baby pink flag was invented by a straight white man who crossdressed in his mother's underwear and had sick fantasies about kids. We even went on the news to report on it as a way to warn the public about what his movement represents. According to our viral RADAR exposé, "He confessed to stealing women’s underwear, including his own mother’s, and went on to write erotic fantasies about his fetish. In a story from his novel 'tales from a two-gendered mind,' Hogge/Helms wrote a story sexualizing a 'magical woman' who permanently looked like a teenage girl.” Yes, we demand that the baby blue and baby pink stripes be removed from our flag. They represent sexual exploitation and surgically violating little girls and boys. There is no pride in sexually mutilating vulnerable children with weekly injections that make them sick. We do not consent to the banner of perversion being displayed in our name. It is a symbol of oppression and needs to be banned in all 50 states. Get it OUT of the schools and throw it in the garbage where it belongs. If nobody is going to remove the pedophile iconography for us, then it will be blacked out. We sincerely hope you are offended, and we stamped on our logo just to rub it in. Bite me. 5.) Accusation (problematic post on GAG X, formerly Twitter): Response: That was a joke. No, Gays Against Groomers is not encouraging people to throw children off of cliffs. Are you out of your mind? 6.) Accusation (Gay fascism): “GAG has attempted to harness the energy of QAnon conspiracies by enlisting its leaders from among the QAnon movement, but also by recruiting adherents of other conspiratorial and extremist ideologies including COVID-19 and anti-vaccination conspiracies, 2020 election conspiracists, antigovernment militias, anti-Muslim extremists and white supremacists … contemporary right-wing extremists … conservative loyalists … Trump insiders … a continuation of QAnon conspiracies – and GAG leaders’ involvement with the movement prior to founding GAG.” Response: Schizophrenic claims of us being MAGA dictator supervillains who are taking over the government and overthrowing democracy all stem from a ridiculous Media Matters hit piece authored by Mia Gingerich, a straight man who supports poisoning autistic kids with pedophile castration drugs. We do not identify with QAnon, Adolf Hitler, satanic pizza parlors, The Westboro Baptist Church, or Anita Bryant. We have members from all political backgrounds and a commitment to nonpartisanship. Some of us came from the gay rights movement. We have lesbians who have been warning about “gender identity” legislation since 1994. I am a founding member of GAG, and I have never voted Republican. But I had no problem reaching across the political aisle to fight for a common cause that I felt was important. No gay movement has ever been politically homogeneous, and the same is true for ours. Our community has a history of doing activism by building bridges with one another when we do not see eye-to-eye on everything. This is not new. Anti-gay narcissists were not able to stop us in the past, and we will not let them stop us now. Their evidence for us being far-right QAnon conspiracy overlords was the fact that we were guests on The Megyn Kelly show and make regular appearances in Fox News stories. We would like to point out that we just launched a weekly radio show on a progressive network; we do podcasts and interviews with people of all types; and Megyn Kelly is an icon. At one point, they assert that we posted an Alex Jones conspiracy about the “deep state,” however no citation of the post was provided. 7.) Accusation (Groomer is an anti-LGBTQ+ slur): “Gays Against Groomers uses ‘groomer’ rhetoric to attack people who support gender-affirming care and LGBTQ+ rights.” Response: Imagine having the audacity to claim that an organization called Gays Against Groomers is “prejudiced towards LGBTQ+ people?” The SPLC are the ones equating LGBTQ+ with grooming, not the other way around. Nobody has a civil right to convince children that they are trapped in the wrong body, keep secrets from their parents, amputate their healthy body parts, or dress up like a stripper and dance provocatively for an audience of toddlers. Boundaries exist for a reason, groomer. We are saying NO. 8.) Accusation (Gender-affirming Cancer): “GAG relies on the false characterization that it is protecting children. By limiting health care options … GAG is maintaining homophobic and transphobic oppression that jeopardizes the health and safety of children and the stability of American civil society.” Response: The SPLC relies on the false characterization that injecting 9-year-olds with Leuprorelin, a prostate cancer drug that was once used to castrate high-risk sex offenders, which is not FDA-approved and prescribed off-label in gender clinics, is a form of lifesaving health care. Children need to be protected from gender-affirming cancer, and we are the ones showing up in court to get it outlawed. Moms and dads across “American civil society,” both straight and gay, are grateful for what our movement has been able to accomplish. The leading medical professionals in England, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, France, and Germany align with our position that “blocking puberty” is dangerous. The decision to shut down the clinics was made in order to protect children from irreversible harm. It did not jeopardize the health and safety of children or the stability of Finnish civil society. We are extremely proud to be on the right side of history. 9.) Accusation (“This isn't happening”): The article cited hit pieces from PinkNews and LGBTQ Nation which compared Jaimee Michell to nazis (again) and went on to say that “no major American medical organization recommends bottom surgery for minors as part of a gender-affirming health care plan,” which was very confusing, to say the least. Response: If these services go against the medical standards…then they should not be offered, right? If pediatric genital mutilation is not happening, then banning such barbaric procedures in all fifty states will not change anything…right? Well, the problem is that these surgeries are being done on children, and the scars of medical malpractice will last a lifetime. "I'm proud of my scars … I call them my battle wounds," Jazz Jennings said in an ominous People Magazine article, complete with a photoshoot showing off the surgical scars. Dr. Bowers, a famous gynecologist from WPATH, performed a vaginoplasty on a minor, and the complications were life-threatening. A minor had their genitals mangled and torn apart on television for millions of viewers. They refer to gay jewish women as Nazis, but the word “groomer” is taking it too far? According to their own ideology, misgendering is a form of “anti-LGBTQ+ violence” but carving up teenage lesbians and removing their organs is noble and inclusive. We would like to remind them that being misgendered does not require months of bed rest and healing. There is nothing noble about tomboy butchery, a hate crime committed by homophobic doctors who hate them. It might not be easy to hear, but we will continue to shout it from the rooftops until this madness is ended for good. We will not let these criminals get away with it – not in our name. 10.) Accusation (“Dragphobia”): The SPLC falsely claims that we have a goal to end drag performances, yet they provide no source for this accusation because it is an outright lie. Response: People can wear what makes them happy. We just disapprove of grown men in fishnets twerking in children's faces. We hold signs that say, “DRAG IS NOT FOR KIDS!” at our peaceful rallies, not “MAKEUP IS NOT FOR MEN!” 11.) Accusation (Lesbian Erasure): At one point, they picked apart fragments of various unrelated quotes from our founder and president, Jaimee Michell, as evidence of her internal anti-trans bigotry. The botched quotes are from an interview where she was discussing her concerns about how female erasure is impacting the lesbian community. Taking her statements out-of-context as a way to smear her is homophobic manipulation. Response: The homophobes conveniently forgot to cite their source for these allegedly dehumanizing statements that "deny the humanity and existence of trans people.” Did they get this information from Bruce Jenner, as well? A quick Google search shows that it was actually taken from a portion of her Breitbart interview displayed below: Lesbians are female. Men cannot be lesbians. Every gay person knows this. Cry about it. 12.) Accusation (Detransitioners): “GAG has, in fact, partnered with anti-trans detransitioners – people who previously benefited from gender-affirming care, but stopped transitioning and now work to end gender-affirming care for others.” Response: GAG has, in fact, welcomed detransitioners into our movement with open arms while the alphabet mafia insists on demonizing them and denying their existence. A disproportionate amount of detransitioners are gay people. They reach out to us all the time asking for help because they feel like they have no one to turn to. Some of them are public about their experience; some of them are anonymous; some of them are dealing with debilitating illnesses; some of them are navigating the aftermath of gender-affirming malpractice; some of them are estranged from their family and friends; some of them were first prescribed hormones after a twenty minute visit to the local Planned Parenthood; some of them are just looking for a support system in their time of need; and every single one of them has a story that deserves to be heard. There is no reason why we should shun people from within our own community because they disprove the “gender identity” narrative. If trans extremists are offended by the existence of detransitioners, then that is too bad. The detrans reckoning is here, whether you like it or not. These people deserve justice, not censorship. 13.) Accusation (Gay Conversion Therapy 2.0): "GAG Missouri chapter leader Chris Barrett dismissed trans identity, claiming most trans kids are 'just gay' kids who are being forced to transition by their parents and permissive medical practices. GAG used similar rhetoric at the Anaheim, California, rally where participants held signs reading, 'Stop Transing [sic] Gay Kids.'" Response: Dr. Ren Massey, who is currently an active member of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), was recently on record saying that when given time to grow up and figure out their sexuality, a lot of patients "clarify some of their gender issues." The mass-medicalization of gender nonconforming children is very new and only started a few years ago. Throughout history, the standard practice was to leave these children alone and not rush them down the path of transition because most of them, an upwards of 88%, outgrow their feelings of discomfort and wind up being happy gay adults. Doctors, surgeons, and even the New York Times have confirmed that this is Gay Conversion Therapy 2.0, as well. It is not hateful to speak the truth. We want everybody to know that if you support transitioning children, then you are nothing but a vile homophobe, and we look upon you with scorn. 14.) Accusation (Lighting trans people on fire): Gays Against Groomers is violent and calls on its members to burn trans people to the ground. Response: No. We specifically advocate against violence. Nobody is trying to light trans people on fire. 15.) Accusation (LGBTQ+ insanity): “[Gays Against Groomers] wants to ‘reclaim the community we once called our own’ and has described its mission to ‘put an end’ to the ‘insanity’ of the modern LGBTQ+ movement’s ‘alphabet religion.’” Response: That is correct. 16.) Accusation (Jaimee Michell is Gay Hitler): The author accuses GAG of upholding “white cis-supremacy” and that we believe “trans identity is a threat to white cis-supremacy … Combined with a racialized fear that trans identity can undermine white cis-supremacy, GAG justifies eliminating the perceived threat to white children by censoring information about LGBTQ+ experiences, controlling access to all technology and banning gender-affirming health care.” They followed up this accusation by calling our founder a Nazi (again). Response: Source? If they are implying that all of our volunteers are white, then they are highly mistaken. We were founded by a lesbian couple, neither of whom are white men. How many times are trans extremists going to compare her to Hitler before it becomes problematic? No, seriously. Is the doxxing and proliferation of misinformation about a Jewish lesbian, calling her a Nazi homophobe considered acceptable behavior? We assume the SPLC would know better, given that they claim to conquer bigotry and racism. What a disgusting organization you are. 17.) Accusation (problematic op-ed): “GAG Washington leader Alex Chrostowski continues this line of thought, claiming, ‘There seems to be a perverse race to the bottom’ in which students seek to “prove their own claims about how ‘disadvantaged’ they are by feigning mental illness and displaying ‘increasingly disruptive attitudes or behaviors in class.’ These behaviors are brought about, Chrostowski claims, by access to information and a permissive social climate that ‘celebrates any divergence from the norm, ie white, straight, cisgender’ and treats whiteness and heterosexuality as ‘if they are to be barely tolerated.’” Response: This was taken from one of RADAR's best op-eds – a beautifully written piece about how social media culture is affecting the mental health of teenage girls and causing disruptive behaviors in the classroom. Her analysis of identity, victimhood, and self-esteem was spot-on. Ms. Chrostowski really outdid herself with that one. Thank you so much for recognizing her brilliance. Bravo. chefs kiss 18.) Accusation (taken from the “INTIMIDATION CAMPAIGNS” section): Throughout 2022 and 2023, GAG members staged in-person events, participating in demonstrations, protests, testifying in legislatures, and sometimes local school board meetings … Michell, too, participates in this ‘ground team,’ appearing in 2023 at the Moms for Liberty Summit in Philadelphia.” Response: Gay people have a history of staging protests, testifying in legislatures, and standing up against injustice. But now we are expected to keep quiet because free speech makes nonbinary folx feel intimidated? If holding signs that say, “Kids Can't Consent” is considered a threat to the gender movement, then that is they/them's problem, not ours. Giving a speech at the Moms For Liberty's conference about parental rights and the public education system is not an intimidation campaign. 19.) Accusation (LGBTQ+ Politicians): The article accused us of disliking “LGBTQ+ Politicians” and the example they provided was proven to be a hoax. “In December 2022, Erik Bottcher, an openly gay New York City Council member, reported harassing phone calls and protests outside his office after attending a drag story hour. Bottcher later reported that two women who “were a part of Gays Against Groomers” graffitied his office and, while he was attending synagogue, entered his apartment building, and were arrested for trespassing. The women used the same rhetoric employed by GAG to demonize LGBTQ+ people in public life. On Dec. 20, 2022, Bottcher tweeted a video of the people he identified as drag story hour protesters assaulting one of his neighbors.” Response: If the person who wrote this article was acting in good faith, then they would have clarified that this story wound up being FALSE, and the media issued a retraction. We have addressed this hoax multiple times. “On December 19th, all of us were in Arizona for a convention. The people in the news story about vandalizing Erik Bottcher’s office are not in our organization. We have no idea who these people are. And we were bewildered when we saw this news story pop up while all of us were together, on the other side of the country. It was proven to be yet another hoax. We had nothing to do with it. Accusations of terrorism have been disproven. We have every right to call out inappropriate behavior from WITHIN our own so-called “community.” Banning our organization from multiple platforms is anti-gay censorship. Claiming that an organization run by a lesbian couple is "anti-LGBTQ" is homophobic. It shows the true colors of the people pushing this political narrative.” We show and receive support for gay politicians all the time. Some of our members are running for office in local elections, and we are actively endorsing gay politicians whose campaigns are aligned with our mission. This is a LIE. REMOVE THESE ACCUSATIONS IMMEDIATELY. 20.) Accusation (Scott Weiner): “GAG shared a doctored photo of openly gay California state Sen. [Scott Weiner] holding a book with the title altered to read, ‘SB 107 How to Legally Kidnap Children by Scott Wiener.’” Response: Yes, and we did it again last Tuesday. 21.) Accusation (GAG vandalized West Hollywood): The final section reiterated more disproven accusations of Gays Against Groomers hunting down drag queens and vandalizing traffic poles in West Hollywood. Response: Oddly enough, they forgot to cite their sources. Does it have anything to do with the fact that these stories were popularized by GLAAD's defamatory article, which was later debunked? "GLAAD's defamatory article accuses our organization of harassing drag queens in Washington, despite having no evidence. The source they cited did not even mention us (Steele, 2023). For such a powerful corporation, GLAAD should stop lying about gay people to the public ... GLAAD [also] claims that we vandalized West Hollywood in order to harass drag queens. Their proof was that a sticker from our merch store was found on a pole. The sticker and graffiti were not put there by members of Gays Against Groomers. The fact that somebody hung up a sticker with our logo printed on it does not provide evidence that we vandalized Los Angeles. That is absurd." 22.) Accusation (misinformation): Gays Against Groomers “spreads misinformation about LGBTQ+ people and gender-affirming care.” Response: We could say the same thing about the Southern Poverty Law Center, but at least we have the decency to list our sources.

Title IX – Spring 2023 [Docket ID ED-2022-OCR-0143-0001] Gays Against Groomers Gays Against Groomers is a movement of gay Americans who oppose the recent trend of indoctrinating, sexualizing and medicalizing children under the guise of “LGBTQIA+” We have assisted in passing sixteen regulations, laws, and guidelines that ban transgender ideology from being forced onto children. Across the nation, bills are being introduced that ban child sterilization, mutilation, castration, and amputation of healthy body parts all in the name of “gender identity” – an ideology that is being forced down their throats at schools. The notion that the gay community is a monolith is a lie. Members of our community have been waking up in droves to the corruption being done in our name. Our movement has skyrocketed so quickly in less than a year, mostly due to our hardline approach and exposing the reality of what is happening to our community. We appreciate that The Biden Administration’s most recent interpretation of Title IX laws seem to be a little more reasonable than last summer. However, we are still concerned over the fact that “gender identity” is still very much on the table and being prioritized over the rights of everyone. These laws, on the basis of “gender identity” are toxic, discriminatory, and destructive for the first half of the LGBTQ+ alphabet. They do NOTHING for gay people. Upon re-reading the amendments with the second round of proposed changes, we find them to be anti-gay, anti-parent, anti-child, put people in danger, and goes against everything that our movement has accomplished thus far. Also, what worries us is what happens next. According to legislation recently introduced in the senate, progressives seek to codify “gender identity” in Title IX and then apply it to everything covered under the Civil Rights Act. So, this does not just stop at schools and sports. “Transgender and nonbinary people” are demanding complete and total colonization of civil rights laws granted to gays and lesbians. This would also harm children. We completely reject a framework which enacts gay erasure, child mutilation, pressured speech, and seeks the complete and total bodily autonomy of “transgender and nonbinary people,” most of which are minors. We hope that this information can provide some insight as to why we are fighting this so vigorously. Gays Against Groomers asks once again that you reconsider our viewpoints, from the same adults who spent decades fight for our rights – none of which included gender identity – and run completely antithetical to “queer” activism. We have addressed our concerns to dozens of progressive politicians regarding its effects on gay people. We still have not received a straight answer. We challenge these lawmakers to stand up for what they believe in and admit to what they are fighting for: the sexual citizenship of children. Activists from the HRC and the ACLU have been on record claiming that none of this was happening, even though all of it was. We are sick of the predatory lies being put forward in our name by the transgender Taliban. Everything in this public comment is backed up by academic, legal, and scientific information, as seen in the corresponding studies. We would like to thank our allies at The Paradox Institute for helping us with science, statistics and data. The gender cult’s disdain for gays and lesbians sticking up for themselves shows how anti-gay their belief system is at its root. We are unsure of the process that The Biden Administration had to go through in order to combat these “anti-trans” bills. But if they are paying attention to the details of these bills, then they see Gays Against Groomers helped put these laws in place. On all senate/legislative documents, testimonies and speeches, the name of our organization is publicly recorded. The biggest LGBTQIA+ lobbying organizations have villainized and slandered us, making false claims that we are a far-right group of homophobic straight people. If any other gay movement was accomplishing as much as we have for the benefit of their community, then they would not be accused of being awful bigots. We are all extremely gay and proud. And we proudly choose to side with common sense and reality, in order to do what we feel is best for the gay community – a community whose well-being we value over anyone who tries to get in the way of our success. We are getting new applications every day and messages from members of own community thanking us for what we are doing. No matter how hard gender activists try to slander and demonize us, we have more gay adults siding with us on this issue in droves. Millions of people agree with us. Our views are not some fringe political issue – it is a moral issue that is plaguing our community. Gays Against Groomers helped pass bills across the nation that pump the brakes on anti-gay medical malpractice, get rid of the filth in our schools, ban sexualized material, advocating for all who are in this fight, and cleaning up the mess that has infested the community which we worked decades to build. On behalf of the trans mafia, The Biden Administration proposed new Title IX amendments that still enshrine the concept of “gender identity.” This is their way of saying that “transgender and nonbinary people’s “rights” on the basis of gender identity are still on the table. Transgender rights/”gender identity” includes: - Unrestricted child sex-changes for tomboys - Pornographic schools - "Age-appropriate" child sexual mutilation [there is no such thing] - Puberty blockers, sterilizing hormones, and amputation surgeries with no barriers or safeguarding - Removing children from parents who do not comply with their child's transgender demands - Removing free speech - Erasing women and gays - Putting themselves in charge of making rules about the bodily autonomy of children - Punishing anybody who does not comply We Do Not Consent If any representative from The Biden Administration would be willing to reach out and discuss this further, then we eagerly accept the offer. “Gender Identity” Modern discussions of gender often include statements like, “Sex and gender are different.” or “Gender is something you identify as.” While many attribute it to feminists, the first person to use “gender” in such a way was John Money in 1955. He is often referred to as “the father of gender identity,” since he is the one who invented the term. While John Money is mostly famous for his work on transgenderism and the infamous David Reimer case, he actually has an extensive history of sexological research that is controversial, to say the least. This groomer’s ideas are currently being replicated in the current conversation about sex and gender. John Money’s work on the sexual citizenship of children has earned him the title of “Pedophile Advocate” – rightfully so. His work on “chronophilia” described an erotic attraction to people of different age groups. These age groups included minors, not surprisingly. And he tried to normalize this for years, despite there not being scientific evidence that this exists whatsoever. In 1994, he opposed the classification of pedophilia as an abnormal fetish, even though that is what the overwhelming amount of research has proven (1994, p. 41). Clearly, he had an ulterior motive and thought that it was appropriate to include his personal goals of “sexual liberation for children” in his work and label it as science. The same year, he said that he wanted to look at pedophilia “in the broader, cultural purview of sexuality’s timetables” and his reasoning was that pedophilia was historically legal and that society is stigmatizing “attraction to juveniles” in order to fulfill an anti-liberation agenda. His work includes advocating for a reconsideration of sex offender laws (1992) to further normalize child abuse in the law. Just because something is considered legal in some places does not mean that it is good or should be accepted by society. Not only did he seek the normalization of child abuse – he glorified it. In 1983, he claimed that these relationships should be considered a blend of “devotion, affection and limerence…a comradeship with a touch of hero-worship” and that society’s”rule of age-avoidancy” is negotiable (Money & Weinrich, 1983, pp. 42-43, 46, 53). He proposed the concept of “Lovemaps” and “sexuoerotic age” that include an age range of attraction which may differ from one’s actual age (Money & Clopper, 1974, p. 174). Once again, there was no solid scientific evidence that such a concept exists, but he decided to claim that it did, anyway. The fact that his ideas are reemerging in the current cultural climate and being labeled as “science” is worrisome, inaccurate, and should not be tolerated in any form. Frankly, we think they should be ashamed of themselves. John Money’s work in the mid-1980s included a resurrection of “psychosexual age” (Money, 1986) a term from the 1950s that Money rebranded as “sexuoerotic age” (Hammer, 1954). That same year, he advocated for “erotic age roleplay,” suggesting that some people have an inner-child, making them attracted to minors and that this is something that should be accepted and encouraged…even though he did not have scientific proof to back him up. “Chronophilia” (Money, 1986), a palatable rebranding of his ideas about “age-discrepancy paraphilias” (Money, 1981) is the “most accurate way to describe persistently identifying as an age other than one's chrono age & typically feeling an intense desire to transition in full or part to living as one's identified age." Transgender and nonbinary activists are claiming that people have an inner-child whose age does not match up with one’s “biological age.” It is a concept that they claim is similar to gender incongruence but is classified in terms of age – sometimes referred to as “age dysphoria.” Similar ideas can be seen in Money’s work. He claimed that “the paraphile’s age is discordant with his/her actual chronological age and is concordant with the age of their partner” (1986). He also applied these concepts to include “apotemnophilia” which is a term that describes people with an erotic fixation on amputees and castration fetishes in his work on skoptic syndrome. In 1985, Money claimed that “age matching” is normal and works the same way as an a consenting adult relationship. Money also advocated for “reciprocal sexuoerotic rehearsal play,” which is just a pseudo-intellectual way of saying “sexual activity for children” (Money, 1989). He was known for making up complicated jargon for pedophilic acts [like “gender identity”] in order to purposely confuse his detractors into accepting his ideas as scientific advancement. John Money advocated for the sexual liberation of children, using pornography and kink. He thought that “unrestricted enjoyment of erotica and sex in childhood” would encourage healthy sexual development in adulthood. In his book “Sexual Signatures: On Being a Man Or a Woman” (Money, 1976), he stated that pornographic images for children should be included in sex education. Specifically, he stated that "The best time to introduce such pictures is before a child's biological clock has signaled the start of puberty. Prepubertal children are intellectually capable of understanding sex, and their curiosity about life runs high." They will no doubt find these pictures erotically stimulating, but as the novelty wears off they will soon settle down and accept the information in the matter-of-fact way they accept information about other facets of adult life. If their first exposure to pictures of sexual relations between men and women comes after hormonal puberty has begun, the education will still be helpful but their erotic response will be harder for them to manage and they will need more exposure before the pictures cease to arouse it. In short, it takes older children longer to grow bored with such pictures." (Money & Tucker, 1976). He labeled his retractors as “victimologists” and said that people who oppose his ideas are just moralists who want to stifle the healthy development of children. He even criticized anti-pornograhy lesbian feminists, implying that they were just prudish and did not understand the importance of pornography and kink in psychosexual development. John Money thought that the desexualization of gender was in accord with the zeitgeist of contemporary sexual politics together with victimology and an expanding criminalization of sex. This is eerily similar to current-day trans activists who claim that pornographic content in schools is a good thing, and those who disagree are just overreacting or trying to harm the psychological development of “transgender children.” On The Basis of Sex Transgender rights, on the basis of “gender identity,” apply to children and directly go against our rights. Adding “gender identity” to the category of “sex” completely subverts the meaning of sex (male and female) to include a variety of identity labels which do not exist and erase the gays in the process. Same-sex marriage grants us the right to marry one another on the basis of sex. We cannot properly categorize and protect same-sex oriented people if we do not have a proper definition of sex. Children are being taught in school that biological sex is not real. They should be taught the truth: Biological sex is immutable and defined by the capability of an individual to produce either sperm or egg cells. In the bills that we’ve contributed to and passed, biological sex is legally defined as the biological indication of male and female in the context of reproductive potential or capacity, such as sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, gonads, and nonambiguous internal and external genitalia present at birth, without regard to an individual's psychological, chosen, or subjective experience of gender. They set the boundaries of sex being binary – male and female. There is no third. There is no in-between. There are no subcategories. Typically, 99.98% of the time, the chromosomes are karyotyped as XX or XY. There are variations to this for .02% of humans. Someone may have chromosomes XXX, XYY, X, XYX, etc. "Biological sex at birth" means an individual's sex, as being male or female, according to distinct reproductive roles as manifested by sex and reproductive organ anatomy, chromosomal makeup, and endogenous hormone profiles, as listed in our senate bill (SB0016) in Utah. These anti-child mutilation laws specifically exclude disorders of sexual development, a lot of which also fall under “intersex” and “sex characteristics” in the proposed Title IX updates. People diagnosed with a disorder of sexual development (intersex) are not affected by the laws and policies that Gays Against Groomers have created, and their medical care will still continue as is. Every single person is male or female, regardless of whether or not a disorder of sexual development is present. Services are provided when a health care practitioner has otherwise diagnosed a disorder of sexual development that the health care practitioner has determined, through genetic or biochemical testing, that the person does not have normal sex chromosome structure, sex steroid production, or sex steroid hormone action for a male or female body. This applies to individuals born with external biological sex characteristics that are irresolvably ambiguous, born with 46 XX chromosomes with virilization, born with 46, XY chromosomes with undervirilization, has both ovarian and testicular tissue, or has been diagnosed with a disorder of sexual development by a physician. Humans with karyotypes containing a Y chromosome, such as XY, XYY (Jacob’s Syndrome), XYX (Klinefelter Syndrome), “49, XXXXY”, XXYY Syndrome, etc. are all male. People with karyotypes XX, XXX (Triple X Syndrome), X (Turner Syndrome), XXXX (Tetrasomy X), etc. are all female. Sexual orientation is completely based on maleness and femaleness. These laws do not affect medically necessary treatment for precocious puberty, endometriosis, menstrual disorders, ovarian disorders, or sex-hormone stimulated cancer. Regarding puberty blockers (GnRH Agonists), these laws say that puberty inhibition drugs are not approved by the FDA for the treatment of gender dysphoria. Possible adverse outcomes of puberty blockers are known to include diminished bone density, pseudotumor cerebri and long-term adult sexual dysfunction. These laws clarify that research on the long-term risks to children of prolonged treatment with puberty blockers for the treatment of gender dysphoria has not yet occurred; and the full effects of puberty blockers on brain development and cognition are unknown. The use of cross-sex hormones in males is associated with risks that include blood clots, gallstones, coronary artery disease, heart attacks, tumors of the pituitary gland, strokes, elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood, breast cancer, and irreversible infertility. The use of cross-sex hormones in females is associated with risks of erythrocytosis, severe liver dysfunction, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and increased risk of breast and uterine cancers. Minor means an individual who is less than 18 years old. These laws indicate that a health care provider may provide a hormonal transgender treatment to a minor only if the health care provider has been treating the minor for gender dysphoria for at least six months. Puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries are banned for everyone else under the age of 18. For an individual whose biological sex at birth is male, this includes castration, orchiectomy, penectomy, vaginoplasty, or vulvaplasty. For an individual whose biological sex at birth is female, this includes hysterectomy, oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, and any surgical procedure that is related to or necessary for a procedure that would result in the sterilization of an individual who is not sterile. An "attempted sex change" means an attempt or effort to change an individual's body to present that individual as being of a sex or gender that is different from the individual's biological sex at birth. They exclude procedures that remove a body part because the body part is cancerous or diseased, for a reason that is medically necessary, other than to effectuate or facilitate an individual's “attempted sex change.” Our organization has banned secondary sex characteristic surgical procedures on minors, which are included under “sex characteristics” in the corresponding legislation for this public comment. They have been made illegal if they were for the purpose of effectuating or facilitating an individual's “attempted sex change.” For an individual whose biological sex at birth is male, breast augmentation surgery, chest feminization surgery, or facial feminization surgery are banned under the age of 18. For an individual whose biological sex at birth is female, mastectomy, breast reduction surgery, chest masculinization surgery, or facial masculinization surgery are banned or minors under the age of 18. Secondary sex characteristic surgical procedures do not include surgery or other procedures or treatments performed on an individual who is born with a disorder of sexual development. A bill we passed in Oregon categorizes “gender-affirming treatment” as a procedure, service, drug, device or product that a physical or behavioral health care provider prescribes to treat an individual for incongruence between the individual’s gender identity and the individual’s sex assignment at birth. If you identify as something which you are not, according to your sex, then you are categorized as transgender. Transgender is a legal umbrella term for people whose perceived “gender identity” does not match their sex. There is an unlimited amount of gender identities one can choose from and in some states, there are over thirty labels/“gender identities” one can legally identify under. Anybody who falls under the trans umbrella – nonbinary, genderflux, genderqueer, bigender, transgender, demiwoman completely and totally benefits from all of the laws based on “gender identity.” Everyone else is bulldozed in the process. There are adults who experience distress due to the fact that they identify as something which they are not, according to their sex. While some identify with having a mental disorder – this phenomenon (gender dysphoria) is not discussed nor addressed in any of the civil rights laws. Whether you have a diagnosed mental health condition or not, you indefinitely benefit from “gender identity” policies. “Transgender” is dependent on the belief that we have an inner psychological “gender identity” that is separate from our physical bodies. The laws that we passed specify that they pertain to anatomical, endocrinological, and chromosomal sex-based characteristics, for male and female people, on the basis of sex not gender. Gay rights revolve around instilling protections on the basis of one’s biological sex at birth. The foundation is completely dependent on the sex binary in a way that humans are divided into two sex classes, so one can enact legal change based on sex, and address the ways in which disadvantaged populations are prevented from having equal footing in society with the dominant class. Sex and sexual orientation cannot exist alongside a belief system that seeks to deconstruct both of them. Sex is important when collecting data about crime, medicine, demographics, etc. to ensure accuracy. It creates issues when tracking gay hate crime statistics if we do not have a definition of sex or sexual orientation. Sex-based civil rights are being taken away right before our eyes. The Title IX amendments and gender identity-based laws cite that trans people have high suicide rates, so letting them destroy everything and butcher children is the only way to prevent the cult members from committing suicide. Everyone must hand over their rights and participate in their delusion…or they will kill themselves. That is abuse. Protect “sex” and “sexual orientation” on the basis of the sex binary at all costs. Queer Sexuality It is cruel to tell a teenager who is just figuring out their sexuality that sex and gender are on a spectrum that can change from day-to-day. If a teenage girl is distressed about her attraction to females, telling her that she can change her sexual orientation is the opposite of what one should do. Nor should she be taught at school that a men can be women. Queer sexuality being promoted in a school curriculum which says that society must deconstruct gender in order to achieve equity. So, we need to deconstruct gender…by making 100 new genders? Transgender rights laws reference that transgender and nonbinary people have always existed throughout history. That is a lie. They reference “third gender societies” which mainly consist of gynemimetic males who are feminine from childhood being placed into a separate gender role. They are often castrated and sex trafficked, sometimes before adulthood. Some of these “third gender societies” that they reference sex trafficked feminine or gender nonconforming boys and some still do. The hijra in India are known for abducting and castrating boys and young men. We are not sure if that is what the transgender community wants to be known for, but if so, then they are doing a great job. One of these indigenous “third genders” that they reference is Two-spirit: a term created by white people in Canada in the 1990s in order to be inclusive of indigenous people who did not ask for their culture to be appropriated in the first place. Assuming that all indigenous populations had the same gender caste system is an extremely broad and ignorant generalization. Fa'afafine are gynemimetic males of the Samoa region. Their existence does not validate nor have to do with the gender spectrum/nonbinary identities. They recognize that they are male and do not compete in sports against women. They do not and have never claimed to actually be female. They believe that Fa'afafine is specific to Samoan culture and do not appreciate other countries appropriating their cultural identity for political gain. They do not oppose people recognizing biology. They should not even be included in the discussion about “gender identity.” Queer sexuality is included under Title IX protections, along with “gender identity” but nothing is defined and its meaning is completely up to interpretation. According to the literature, the true definition of “queerness” cannot be easily summarized. In order to understand this ultimate definition of queer sexuality, however, they must consider the definitions provided by the queer experts that they have cited throughout the years. Warner describes “queerness” as defined by “heteronormativity,” which suggests that sexuality is an oppressive system. “Queer” challenges this assertion and legislates that sex and gender are social constructs which are not rooted in biology. If queer sexuality is included in legal protections, a man who assumes the “gender identity” of a woman and subsequently enters into a relationship with another woman is now considered a lesbian. It would enshrine that a biological man can be a lesbian, and he will receive the same rights/protections as lesbian women. This insanity has been put into law in multiple states. That is unacceptable. Men are not lesbians. Queer sexuality is also rooted in the Butlerian concept of “collective contestation” and says that queer should never be “fully owned, but always and only redeployed, twisted, queered, from a prior usage and in the direction of urgent and expanding political purposes.” Basically, queer sexuality includes straight people. It is so ridiculous. This is a cult. “Queer” has also been defined by as an identity without an essence. As such, queer is a movement, a deployment, which unsettles all attempts to fix theology within the contingent lineaments of heteropatriarchy. Queer sexuality can be defined as a system of subjective belief and political theory designed to upend heteronormative and homonormative dominance and believes man and woman to be nothing more than social constructs. Queer sexuality and “Gender Identity” deny fundamental truths of what makes us human. It blurs the lines between man and woman and in doing so, erases homosexuality, bisexuality, and heterosexuality. “Queer” also includes pedophilia, fetishes, “furries,” and BDSM. “GENDER IDENTITY” AND QUEER SEXUALITY PROTECTIONS DO NOTHING FOR GAY PEOPLE. IT IS A GATEWAY FOR PARAPHILIAS TO INVADE OUR CIVIL RIGHTS. GET THIS OUT OF SCHOOLS AND AWAY FROM US IMMEDIATELY.’ Transitioning Minors is Medical Malpractice and Anti-gay Abuse Our main focus has been banning the transgender medicalization of gender non-conforming minors. This is malpractice. It is going to eventually be made illegal in all 50 states, whether people like it or not. The reason why the trans lobby is pushing back so hard is because they know that they are going to lose. They are already losing. GAG has assisted in passing more legislation to ban it than any other organization in this fight to end the mutilation of minors. We got it outlawed in six states so far. Puberty blockers and sex hormones do not have U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for children’s gender care and no clinical trials have established their safety for such off-label use. The drugs’ long-term effects on fertility and sexual function remain unclear. More than 42,000 children were diagnosed just last year, up 70% from 2020. The number of children who started on puberty-blockers or hormones totaled 17,683 over the five-year period, rising from 2,394 in 2017 to 5,063 in 2021. The Endocrine Society, in its own guidelines, acknowledges the “low” or “very low” certainty of evidence supporting its recommendations. "There is no argument among medical professionals – pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, adolescent medicine physicians, adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, et cetera – about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care,” claims Dr. Rachel Levine. That is a lie. According to WPATH, there are no studies of the long-term outcomes of gender-related medical treatments for youth who have not undergone a comprehensive assessment. The decision to start gender-affirming medical interventions may not be in the long-term best interest of the young person at that time. Reuters interviewed parents of 39 minors who had sought gender-affirming care. Parents of 28 of those children said they felt pressured or rushed to proceed with treatment. In one case, after an initial one-on-one consultation of little more than an hour with the teen, a psychiatrist said he was a good candidate for puberty blockers. An endocrinologist recommended the same after talking with the family for 15 minutes. In a 2018 study published in the medical journal Clinical Pediatrics, researchers at Yale University noted a sharp increase in the off-label use of puberty blockers and said these drugs “have not been thoroughly investigated in populations with normally timed puberty.” In Texas earlier this year, bone scans indicated that a child, 15 years old at the time, had osteoporosis after 15 months on puberty blockers. Psychiatric events have been reported in patients” taking puberty blockers. Events include emotional symptoms “such as crying, irritability, impatience, anger and aggression.” Reuters found 72 adverse event reports submitted to the FDA from 2013 through 2021 of children on puberty blockers who showed suicidal, self-injurious, or depressive behavior. The children were taking the drug for central precocious puberty or gender dysphoria or were simply identified as under 18. A 2020 paper cites that “pubertal suppression may prevent key aspects of development during a sensitive period of brain organization.” In its new guidelines, WPATH makes no age recommendation for hormones. In Oregon, teens have been given hormones without parental consent starting at age 15. A California study found that a quarter of 869 vaginoplasty patients, with a mean age of 39, had a surgical complication so severe that they had to be hospitalized again. Among those patients, 44% needed additional surgery to address the complication, which included bleeding and bowel injuries. For adolescent males, puberty blockers and hormones can complicate eventual genital surgery. That’s because the medications can stunt development of the male genitalia from which a vagina and vulva are constructed. In 2020, de Vries and other Dutch researchers urged clinicians to inform transgender youth and their parents about this risk when starting puberty blockers. Bowers, the new transgender president at WPATH is worried that some patients who begin puberty blockers at a young age won’t ever be able to have an orgasm because they never experienced one prior to pausing puberty, regardless of whether they have surgery. Studies show that gender discomfort will alleviate for 80% of these children after they go through puberty and wind up being lesbian, gay, or, bisexual adults. Boys and girls who are socially transitioned before going through puberty are more at-risk of becoming sterile for life. When gender-nonconforming children are not transitioned, anywhere from 63.4%-88% of them grow up to be gay and bisexual adults. Females who detransition are three times more likely to be lesbians. Finland, France, England, The Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland, and Switzerland have also been sounding the alarms about this problem. For adolescents with feelings of gender distress, the risks of puberty suppressing treatment with GnRH-analogues and gender-affirming hormonal treatment currently outweigh the possible benefits. The United Kingdom came under the spotlight in 2019 when “Keira Bell, a lesbian who regretted taking puberty blockers and male hormones as a teenager and detransitioned back to her original female gender, took a case to the High Court, along with the mother of a 15 year old girl with autism who was on the waiting list. The court ruled that it was ‘very doubtful’ that children under 16 would be able to understand the immediate and long-term consequences of the treatment and to give informed consent, and it said doctors might want to consider court authorization before giving over 16s the experimental treatment.” This judgment is based mainly on three factors: the continued lack of reliable scientific evidence concerning the efficacy and the safety of both treatments, the new knowledge that detransition occurs among young adults, and the uncertainty that follows from the yet unexplained increase in the number of care seekers -- an increase particularly large among adolescents registered as females at birth. A systematic review published in 2022 by the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services shows that the state of knowledge largely remains unchanged compared to 2015. High quality trials are still lacking and the evidence on treatment efficacy and safety is still insufficient and inconclusive for all reported outcomes. It is not possible to determine how common it is for adolescents who undergo gender-affirming treatment to later change their perception of their gender identity or interrupt an ongoing treatment. Children aged 8-14 are undergoing rapid changes in their body. An immature amygdala coupled with elevated developmental hormones prevents the ability of foresight in teens and our society takes great measures to assure that these impressionable minds are protected. Gender identity ideology is trying to convince rational people that a child can choose their gender at the onset of puberty. Thailand made parental consent a cornerstone of their gender affirming legislation in 2013, even for those we would consider adults. Without parental consent those aged 20 and younger are prohibited from receiving gender affirming care. Anyone under the age of 18 is barred from these procedures completely. Adults who truly feel like they need this type of medicine are followed closely by endocrinologists and therapists throughout their long-term care to avoid rejection of their new identity. This is included in Thai law, as well. Never before in history have so many young people been rushed to hormone blockers, chest binders, and double mastectomies as they are now. Children are NOT an experiment, nor will we allow them to become lifelong pharmaceutical dependents. Let Them Grow If a feminine boy or masculine girl is told that their existence is based on shallow stereotypes and then given the option to choose their daily pronoun, then there is a good chance that they might pick one which is not congruent with their sex. Boys and girls cannot make these decisions because they do not have the autonomy to consent to this ideology. In the proposed Title IX updates, “sex” is defined as sex stereotypes, mannerisms, interests, and clothing. Childhood gender variance is estimated to be 8 to 15 times higher for gay adults. Most gay men expressed more stereotypically feminine traits in childhood, including mannerisms, interests, clothing, hobbies, and socializing with girls. This is so common that the concept of “Gender Incongruence” in childhood needed to be completely reevaluated because it was based on masculine/feminine stereotypes that were not a medical issue – it was just children expressing themselves in ways that did not conform to gender stereotypes placed on male and female people by society. There has been a recent shift where children like this are now being sterilized and having their healthy organs amputated, in accordance with their “gender identity.” A girl who likes to play sports, cut her hair short, or wear pants instead of dresses should never be told that she is “wrong” for doing such things. However, schools are encouraging “tomboys” to identify as male and socially transitioning them at school, which likely leads to medicalization. Schools teach children that “gender identity” is on a fluid spectrum. If gender is fluid and constantly changing, then why would children be encouraged to irreversibly alter their bodies permanently? There is no way to tell whether an individual child’s gender-variant behavior is indicative of anything significant enough to warrant surgery. In the vast majority of these children, that is not the case. Studies show that over 80% of the time, these children just wind up being lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults. When a gender nonconforming child is not socially transitioned, two-thirds of gender dysphoric boys grow up to be gay and bisexual men. Most children who meet some of the criteria for “early-onset gender incongruence” outgrow their dysphoria and wind up being gay and lesbian adults. This is the new conversion therapy. They are too young to consent. Minors cannot consent to this treatment. What parents and teachers are doing is abusive. This ends now. When a child is socially transitioned before going through puberty, this very often leads to medicalization and these children are likely to be sterilized. Social transition is often a direct pathway to puberty blockers and exogenous hormones. Most of these issues resolve with their natural male/female puberty. A gender nonconforming child can socially transition at school without the parents’ knowledge and will most likely result in becoming a permanent patient for the rest of their lives under the proposed Title IX updates. Studies show that socially transitioning a gender nonconforming child will most likely lead to being sterilized before puberty. Socially transitioning children is correlated with persistence and medicalization. A follow-up study of 139 gender dysphoric boys determined that 88% of them desisted and did not go through with transition and chemical castration. Research in this area should be considered, including the data which suggests that this recent outbreak of female adolescent gender distress is a psychic epidemic. In 2018, a research study concerning young adults and teenagers who identify as “transgender” stated that exactly two-thirds (67.8%) of them are in friend groups containing multiple gender dysphoric teenagers who did not have a previous history of gender incongruence in childhood. Nearly 87% of them adopted their transgender identities at the same time. The same study confirmed that 37% of these groups consisted mostly of “transgender” teenagers. For such a small demographic of people, these results are shockingly high. We believe that this is the result of grooming. For instance, some schools provide chest binders for teenage girls to flatten their breasts. These binders are very tight and cause lung damage. They are linked to health issues including chest pain (30%), becoming light-headed (30%), shortness of breath (49%), and back pain (65%). Testosterone use is highly correlated with heart attacks and cancer. Last year, a study of 237 detransitioners found that the majority of them medicalized their bodies due to homophobia and feeling insecure about being same-sex oriented. Research shows that 51% of female detransitioners and 45% of male participants medically transitioned because they thought it would result in society treating them better. 52% cite homophobia as the main issue and reason for doing irreversible harm to their bodies. Females who detransitioned were three times more likely to be lesbians. This information suggests that gender transition for children is a new form of conversion therapy. Gender dysphoria will alleviate for 80% of these children when they go through puberty. If puberty seems to be the cure, then it is completely unethical to block their natural puberty from ever occurring. More gay and bisexual detransitioners are coming forward and sharing their stories about what happened to them. As gay adults, we find this extremely concerning. Most of us were gender nonconforming in childhood. And we are now living successful and fulfilling lives without having our bodies destroyed at an age where we did not know any better. We want this permanently outlawed on a federal level. Until then, we are going to make sure that wall-to-wall legislation banning the mutilation of minors is enacted in as many states whose policy makers will listen to us. Transgender and nonbinary rights are losing battle. Our Community Is Hurting. We side with the gay and lesbian adults who were hurt by gender medicine after being told that it was the best option to help them achieve happiness. We do not side with the groomers who are inflicting this pain onto people like us and celebrating it. That is SICK. Nothing good comes from this "gender identity" tragedy. It is a health crisis in our community that is quickly coming to light. We are going to stand by them until this medical experiment is gone for good. And we hope they raise hell in court. When asked about detransition, we are told that only a tiny percentage of young people detransition. However, this data is very outdated and does not cover the current transgender outbreak we are seeing in young people. The uncertain evidence that indicates a low prevalence of treatment interruptions or any aspects of regret is no longer unchallenged. Although the prevalence of detransition is still unknown, the knowledge that it occurs and that gender confirming treatment thus may lead to a deteriorating of health and quality of life is important for the overall judgment and recommendation. Do not make the claim that you were unaware of the devastating effect this has on gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. Evidence and data backing up our assertions have been provided throughout the past ten months. We want the groomers to have no excuse as to why they supported sterilizing children after being thoroughly informed of the facts from the people who have always been in charge of the “community.” We do not want these queer radical lunatics telling us that they did not have enough information to halt child transition. If you are choosing to go against gays, women, parents, women, and the average American, then it is important that you are aware of the damage that you are inflicting on groups of people you claim to advocate for. START THINKING OF EXCUSES FOR WHY YOU SUPPORTED MUTILATING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE NEW CONVERSION THERAPY. WE DEMAND A PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR THE PERVERSION AND MEDICAL ABUSE THAT HAS BEEN USHERED INTO OUR COMMUNITY UNDER THE GUISE OF “GENDER IDENTITY.” Gay, Not Queer: Gay Erasure When "gender identity" was added to Colorado's sex-based protections, they immediately changed sexual orientation along with it. "The Act adds gender expression and gender identity as protected categories. Gender expression means an individual’s way of reflecting and expressing the individual’s gender to the outside world, typically demonstrated through appearance, dress and behavior. Gender identity, on the other hand, means an individual’s innate sense of the individual’s own gender, which may or may not correspond with the individual’s sex assigned at birth. In addition to these changes, the Act also revised and expanded the definition of sexual orientation, which previously referred to an individual’s orientation toward heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. Now, sexual orientation has been broadened to refer to “an individual’s identity in relation to the gender or genders to which the individual is sexually or emotionally attracted and the behavior or social affliction that may result from the attraction” in our laws. That makes no sense. This is unacceptable. The three sexual orientations are homosexual, bisexual, and heterosexual. It is insane that this needs to be clarified, but lesbians are female. Gay men are male. Bisexual means two sexes. Women have a right to pair with one another and live a life completely devoid from the shackles of patriarchal oppression that male supremacists are now dictating to women about how they should act and love one another. “Gender Identity” ideology puts all of these shackles back where they came from. It makes it so anybody can identify into another sex class, including ours. Identifying into other people’s demographics was never part of the deal. Men are not lesbians. No, thank you. No other “civil rights” movement requires the self-appointed oppressed class to erase the rights of everyone else and rewrite them according to what they want. This is tyranny. This whole debacle is the most anti-gay movement we never thought we would witness in our lifetime. How can gay people make the case for experiencing discrimination due to being same-sex oriented, when being gay no longer means “same-sex oriented” and is reduced to “gender identity?” How can gays and lesbians properly articulate their experiences as same-sex oriented people and the concerns we have with alphabet radicals without a proper definition of sex and sexual orientation? We cannot advocate for our interests if we have no solid definition to go off of. If there is no definition of homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual, then there is no solid definition of what constitutes homophobia. Gays and lesbians deserve to know the truth. They are being lied to. Straight women who identify as nonbinary were never included in the gay rights movement, yet our rights are being stolen by such individuals. They are chipping away at everything we fought for. Everything about this movement is a disrespectful slap in the face to every homosexual and bisexual person in the nation. Sexual orientation and “gender identity” or “transgender” have nothing to do with one another. As seen in Colorado and Pennsylvania, once “gender identity” is added to civil rights law, the definition of sexual orientation is automatically changed, as well. It is solid proof that there is no such thing as being pro-gay and pro-gender. They directly conflict with one another. People who are on the gender spectrum do not face any systemic barriers or obstacles more than the average straight person. Claiming that they are somehow oppressed is laughable. This just reaffirms the patriarchal power structures that progressives claim to be fighting against. Gays and lesbians were denied the right to marry one another because we are of the same sex…not because we “identify” as gay. It is discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation to expect gays and lesbians to lie and pretend to not know what a woman is. Gay men know what a woman is, and we do not wish to marry one. That is the whole point. We do not consent or being redefined, cheated, erased, or force teamed any longer. We demand that gay rights be legislated in the same fashion that they were always meant to be – on the basis of sex. Men Are Not Lesbians We are being removed as a meaningful category of people in our own country. When the category of lesbian includes men, then lesbian no longer means anything. No matter how you identify, the category of lesbian will never be inclusive of men. Lesbians in positions of power are being replaced by men. According to The White House, the most powerful lesbian in the United States is a man. As seen on WhiteHouse.gov, “In celebration of Lesbian Day of Visibility, the White House hosted a roundtable conversation with trailblazing lesbian and LGBTQI+ senior leaders from the White House and the broader Biden-Harris Administration. The roundtable included lesbian and queer advocates, community leaders, leaders across the federal government, several of whom are the first out lesbians to hold their position, including Admiral Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health, who is a lesbian, and the first openly transgender woman to achieve the rank the four-star admiral in any of the country’s uniformed services…” Dr. “Rachel” Levine, who is a man, has lived as a man for 50 years with a wife and children. He left his wife and children and began “identifying as a woman” (whatever that’s supposed to mean) based on his “gender identity” and immediately became the most powerful lesbian in the United States who spends every single day making sure that as many teenage girls are mutilated as possible. We do not believe that a man who “identifies a lesbian,” after living over 50 years with all of the straight, white, male privileges can somehow identify out of that privilege and into an “oppressed class” just by changing his pronouns. Trans ideology makes that absurdity a reality. There is no valid explanation for saying that a man is a lesbian inside of The White House. Nothing makes that okay. All it does is tell millions of lesbians in our nation that the way they love one another is completely irrelevant. And falling in love with a woman is somehow comparable to partnering with a man in a dress. That is homophobic and insulting. We should not have to try and convince our government that lesbians are female. But they would rather take political advice about chopping up children from people like Dylan Mulvaney and a mob of deranged crossdressers who do not know what they are talking about. Declaring war with a movement full of angry lesbians is not a fight that anybody can win. WE DEMAND THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CLARIFIES WHETHER OR NOT A MAN CAN BE A LESBIAN. Progressive politicians have started referring to our marriage rights as “LGBTQ+ marriage.” That is an insult. We fought decades for same-SEX marriage, gay marriage, etc. Transgender people are on record getting married since the 1940s. “Queer marriage” makes no sense whatsoever. It is disrespectful to rebrand the rights that we worked hard for in order to appease a sadistic cult that targets children. This was only an issue for gays and lesbians. Gay rights are being falsely appropriated by people who did not fight for them and did not need them in the first place. Laws made on behalf of transgender and nonbinary people are being labeled LGBTQ+, despite the fact that they are TERRIBLE for us. MEN ARE NOT LESBIANS. NO, THANK YOU. WE WANT OUR STUFF BACK. Schools and Transgender Radicalization in Adolescent Girls Comprehensive sex education has become more prevalent in schools than ever before. While this might encourage positive discussions of consent, adolescence, and preventative measures among children, it also adds to the existing confusion and social pressure in their school environment. Giving kids the option to choose among 97 genders, 18 pronouns, and 19 sexual orientations is not productive nor developmentally appropriate. A BBC sex education program from 2021 tells children as young as nine that there are over ‘100 genders’ and that being transgender is a way to be ‘happy’. We don’t want kids learning these concepts in a half-baked fashion at such a tender age. Also, we believe that children would find out there are gay, trans, and detrans people in the world by themselves - there is absolutely no requirement for forceful sexualized education. We do not support the indoctrination of cult “queer” pseudoscientific concepts during the springtime of their lives when they should be learning algebra and natural science instead. These instances reflect a radicalized politicization of classroom learning. They have set a precedent for even more sexist medicalization of children - which is not far from reality as children have already been placed into this sadistic cult as we speak. There has been a steady rise in the number of children identifying as transgender and nonbinary. Books with explicit sexual content, like ‘Gender Queer’ by Maia Kobabe, show direct sexual acts in the form of cartoons to kids who should be learning about science and literature. And if standing up against this indoctrination is considered 'anti-LGBTQ', how does that reflect the status of schooling and learning as a whole? While these attempts to create a more inclusive environment for gender-diverse children might be perceived as a ‘noble’ thing by contemporary social-justice activists, what is being ignored is the decades of clinical studies on childhood cognitive development and the intricacies and nuances associated with these findings. The classic cognitive development theories including Piaget’s model and Erikson’s stages of development indicate children start developing materialistic reasoning of their identity and societal roles only after age 12. Developmental psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg first proposed the concept of ‘Gender Constancy’ in the 1960s, referring to the cognitive stages of gender development and constancy in children. By about age 6 or 7, Kohlberg asserted that children often come to terms with their biological sex and understand that their sex is permanent and that it cannot be changed. While decades of such scientific literature and clinical findings reflect the nuances of developmental growth as children grow through their puberty, we have organizations like The Trevor Project and Mermaids promoting their ‘Protect Trans Kids’ campaign, and the ‘Kids as young as 3 have a stable sense of gender’ narrative, on the contrary. Gender identity theory, unlike biological sex and genetics, is not backed up by scientific methodology and rigor. Kids should be taught the secular truth: You are your body. Your brain is your body. Every single cell in a male’s brain contains a Y chromosome. “Identifying as a woman” is a completely male-exclusive experience and vice-versa. There are 4 billion women and girls on planet earth, and all of them are female (not because they identify as such). We at Gays Against Groomers oppose sexualizing elementary school education in classrooms where children are supposed to learn science, math, and treating others with respect, in place of confounding pseudoscientific ideologies. One can point to the alarming number of children who are self-identifying as trans, gender queer, or possessing one or more mental illnesses. The rise of these trends all at once is no coincidence, and it’s time our society gets serious about the causes and ramifications of allowing this behavior to continue. A radical educational system that preaches acceptance and affirmation makes it impossible to address children taking up one of these potentially harmful identities. Enshrining radical gender nonsense into Title IX would make all of this even worse. Comprehensive sex education is promoting the use of social media to students and providing resources on how to express their “gender identity.” This has proven to be an abject failure. There are several studies showing that excessive use of technology and social media is visibly altering the adolescent brain, and not in a good way. At no time in human development outside infancy does the human mind experience such exponential growth as we do in our adolescent years. This creates the perfect storm for impressionable girls engaging with transgender content on social media, disassociating from their sex, and getting indoctrinated into the gender cult. Signs and indicators of radicalization include: Being influenced or controlled by a group; Spending an increasing amount of time online; Being secretive about who or what they are doing online or in person; An unwillingness to engage in dialogue about their views; Sharing extreme views on social media platforms; Personal crisis; Mental Health Issues; Desire for status; Searching for identity, meaning and belonging; An angry or obsessive desire for change; Looking to blame others; Becoming increasingly isolated from family; Young people who are talking as though from a script; and intolerance of other people’s views. Texting and online communicating puts everybody in a nonverbal disabled context, where body language, facial expression, and even the smallest kinds of vocal reactions are rendered invisible. Children are increasingly becoming dysfunctional with their in-person communication. Children are increasingly reporting that direct communication is difficult or stressful, despite it being the most important means of human communication. Being able to talk to one another, read body language, and see and hear the repercussions of our words is an essential part of human communication. To a large degree, in-person socialization is what teaches children to be empathetic and mindful. When we rely on completely virtual communication through a screen, there is a disconnect from one’s interpersonal connections and their embodied self. At a time when teenage girls already struggle with body image, they are now being given the option to disassociate from their sex and identify as whatever “gender identity” they decide to make up. An obvious and unfortunate reality of living online for these girls is that it becomes easier to be cruel. “Kids text all sorts of things that you would never in a million years contemplate saying to anyone’s face,” says Donna Wick, EdD, a clinical and developmental psychologist. She notes that this seems to be especially true of girls, who typically don’t like to disagree with each other in “real life.” Women and girls often compare themselves aggressively against their peers, often lashing out in order to feel better about their own self-image. Social media encourages this behavior by providing measurable metrics such as ‘like buttons’ and positive emojis. Girls will spend hours upon hours adjusting their online personas to be as ‘perfect’ as possible. This obsessive focus on the self is deeply unhealthy, and girls will often end up with a warped self image. At home, children have even more access through social media apps on their phones and multi-player video game chat rooms. Apps like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram are where some of the most harmful trends and messaging is being presented to children. This is a notable pattern of these teenage girls to identify as "trans" or any host of genders/"queer identities." The rise of self-identification can be attributed to the increased attention given to people who are perceived to be members of an ‘at risk’ group. In this case…it’s “trans.” This inevitably leads to transgender identification. In the last several years there has been a huge increase in children ‘declaring’ that they have gender dysphoria, despite never being diagnosed by a doctor. Despite living in a time where there is more acceptance towards LGBTQ+ individuals than any time in history, educational materials and radical activists still claim that LGBTQ+ people are the most victimized group in society. By today’s standards, nothing could be further from the truth. No one would willingly identify with a group that was truly experiencing widespread discrimination, yet self-identification as LGBTQ+ has never been higher. At the same time, teenagers are showing rates of suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety at higher rates than ever, particularly among youth who "identify" as transgender or nonbinary. Despite school efforts to be more accepting and supportive than ever before, children are increasingly unhappy. Simply put, children are imitating behavior that they perceive will garner them the most attention, and it works. The problem is that the longer children emulate this type of behavior, the more real it becomes. In a recent Gallup survey, it was found that around 21% of Gen Z Americans who have reached adulthood identify as LGBTQ+. This is nearly double the amount of millennials who identify the same way. In this same group, there has been a 1,000 fold increase with the number of girls who identify as “transgender.” There are two main ways to interpret this information. You could see this as a genuine and exponentially increasing change in human behavior due to increasing social acceptance of mental illnesses and transgender individuals. Or alternatively, you could view this as a social contagion exacerbated by social and cultural pressures that incentivize the expression of all behaviors outside of the stereotyped norm. We have enough evidence to believe that it is the latter. Those who identify as LGBTQ+ but display heterosexual behavior are becoming a distinct group with their own markers. This group tends to be extremely radical and report much greater rates of mental health problems. Most of them are straight people looking for an identity group to be part of. And most gays find them to be rather insufferable, especially when they speak on our behalf. We have a society that has rejected the stigmatization of people who feel as if they are marginalized. No one would argue that this is a bad thing. However, when you take this further and turn destigmatization into a mandatory celebration, you are essentially encouraging children to drive themselves crazy. This trend is particularly pronounced for young women. For young men, gays outnumber bisexuals and the total number who claim LGBT membership is only half that of women. These trends are supported by Gallup, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study. A look at the data leads to the conclusion that many youths are LGBT in name only, particularly self-identified bisexual girls. This raises the very serious issue of the “trans” identification plaguing our schools. This ideology preys on the anxieties and discomfort of youth in order to sell them a magical remedy in the form of “Gender Identity” where they can literally be anything they want to be. Teaching Gender Theory is as insidious as selling Snake Oil. It defies the most fundamental truths of our world and destroys the very concept of objective reality. If you want to teach our history at school, then why don’t you teach about great historical figures, in general. And if they happen to be gay, then that isn’t something that needs to necessarily be hidden. But they are being taught age-inappropriate revisionist history. They are learning that the “queer liberation movement” (something that does not exist) started with transgender prostitutes of color and the gay community somehow owes their success to transgender people. That is a lie. The story commonly parroted by activists also tells the story of how these trans people lived in a house with transgender children and paid their living expenses via sex work. No, gay rights did not start with a transgender brothel for children. And we do not appreciate this fake story being alluded to in schools. Nobody should ever feel excluded. If a teacher wants to read a book where one of the characters has two mothers, then we see nothing wrong with that at all. What we do take issue with is giving children overtly sexual material and/or being fed the idea that they were born in the wrong body. Gay parents want the same respect and tolerance that everyone else is granted. There is a big difference between having an inclusive curriculum and a sexually explicit curriculum. Some of our members are gay parents who have been homeschooling their kids because of how much they detest the sexualized school curriculum. Gay teachers already have protections in the workplace. Gay adults in the school system are not at risk of being fired or losing their jobs more than any other employee, to our knowledge. But the narratives surrounding these school policies do not seem to be the case at all. Not every family has a mother and a father. Some families have one mom. Some have two moms. Some families have two dads. Some families speak two languages. Some families include grandparents. Every family is unique and should be treated equally. Equality does not include pornography in school libraries. As far as representation, the “queer” representation being provided do not represent the values of the average gay person. We want to live our lives like any other couple does. In a porn-saturated culture that celebrates women being abused on camera for male gratification, it is no wonder why so many girls want to be boys. We live in a porn-saturated culture as it is. It is everywhere. So, why do we need it in the school library of all places? If you would not put pornographic videos in schools, then what makes it okay to have it in books? When we brought up these concerns over the summer, we were told that none of this was happening. This has proven to be false. If none of these things were happening, then we wouldn’t have been able to outlaw them in multiple states. Some of these books encourage meeting up with adults for sexual encounters. “Gender Identity” will allow boys and girls to use the same restrooms after sitting in class and learning about all of these sexual acts. What could possibly go wrong? Isn’t the point of sex education to avoid teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases? “Gender Identity” requires adults to affirm students’ gender in classrooms. We were told that pronouns are a way to be polite and show respect, as a courtesy. Now we are being legally forced to use them for kids, as long as they/them say so. We worry that the school curriculum normalizes dehumanizing gender-neutral language, referring to women and girls as birthing people, menstruators, uterus-havers, and individuals with a cervix. Normalizing such language in the classroom is not appropriate. And it also breaks down the boundary of adult and child. A woman is an adult human female. A girl is a human female child. Women and girls are female. Men and boys are male. “People who have a cervix” can apply to females of any age. The boundary of women (adult) and girl (child) disappears by implementing this language. Kids are being told that they have a gender identity which exists on a conceptual spectrum where sex does not exist. The notion of gender being on a spectrum is a completely philosophical concept that is not based in material reality. It is too complicated of a subject to properly understand. And frankly, it makes no sense. Please stop telling children that men can be lesbians. It is very creepy and disturbing. Questioning or opposing a child’s gender identity can be classified as “sex harassment” under these Title IX amendments. Now that sex is meaningless, sex harassment can be interpreted to mean anything that does not affirm the gender identity of a child. One girl in California was taken away from her family and trafficked because her mother was deemed transphobia and unsafe by the school. We have spoken to a mother who had CPS called on her for not affirming her daughter’s male identity. Another family temporarily lost their child for not wanting to use pronouns at home. We completely reject a movement which seeks to separate children from their parents and sterilize them as early as twelve years old. When parents side with us and take the position that we have, they are called homophobic and domestic terrorists. We do not appreciate well-meaning people who do not hate gays being labeled as homophobic. Being homophobic is one of the worst things a person can be. It is a sign of unintelligence and irrationality. Throwing around that label is dishonest and abusive. When common sense statements like “Women are female. Stop telling kids that they are in the wrong body,” are deemed as homophobic, then the word loses its meaning. We have received reports of Planned Parenthood installing “health clinics” on school campuses where minors can be referred to gender clinics to get hormones that trigger adolescent menopause. Minors are not mentally competent enough to provide consent for this. The argument for “gender identity” being proposed is that “transgender and nonbinary people” (most of which are KIDS) have the bodily autonomy to sexually disfigure themselves however they like. The transsexual child is an ideologically and pharmaceutically constructed pseudo-demographic of children whose sexual boundaries are irrelevant and gives them consent over their bodily autonomy. “Transgender” is a bodily autonomy movement for children. There. We said it. If your “civil rights'' include putting pornography in schools, then your entire movement is a disgrace. Get rid of this FILTH. Save the Tomboys Tomboys are being eradicated by the trans mafia and gender identity ideology. Children should be taught that it is okay to be a masculine girl or feminine boy. Stereotyped behavior and interests do not change the fact that everyone is perfect the way they are. Let kids be kids and let them grow into the adults that they are supposed to be, instead of lifelong medical prisoners to a pharmaceutical empire that hates them. The concept of “tomboy” seems to be fading out of our culture, and gender-nonconforming girls are told that they are actually boys. In the 1950s, transitioning a tomboy into a trans-man was considered the best outcome for dealing with girls who dare to not conform to societal sex-based stereotypes. They are being told that womanhood can be reduced to things like dresses and high heels. If you like wearing makeup, then you are a woman. If you like playing sports, then you are not a girl. Children are being taught that maleness and femaleness are based on hypersexualized images which make Barbie dolls the idealized norm for women, with GI Joe on the other end of the gender spectrum. The Biden Administration’s updates in the Title IX interpretation of “gender identity” in a way that makes it more flexible for schools to have students play on teams, according to their sex. However, it makes it so state-wide bans are not allowed. It is very disappointing that they are not willing to make any compromises. Some of our members were tomboys when they were kids. If they were growing up today, they would be at risk of getting injured in their sports and having their scholarships stolen from them. We have received multiple reports of girls getting injured at school because they are being forced to compete against boys. Therefore, we assisted in passing legislation that would binarize school sports, on the basis of sex, in order to ensure safety. Just like all of the other “civil rights” that the trans lobby is asking for, mixed-sex trans sports policies are implemented behind parents’ backs. Mothers and fathers are not made aware that their daughters are in danger. And voicing any objection to it is labeled as sex harassment, on the basis of “gender identity.” It is not a coincidence that the people most affected by this movement are females and gender-nonconforming people. Girls who like to play sports instead of wearing high heels are being told that such behavior is not ladylike, and they should become a boy instead. “Act like a lady and make sure your nails look perfect.” It is the same 1950s anti-gay misogyny that we fought against. “Gender identity” was created at a time when women and gays did not have rights and were constrained to the standards of heterosexist society built to disadvantage us, on the basis of sex. In order to successfully participate in civic life, women were forced to adhere to sexist attire and behavior that restrict their movement and make them feel uncomfortable. High heels, for instance, are unhealthy to wear and linked to heart disease, stroke, poor blood circulation, and atherosclerosis with extended use. Women fought for the right to wear comfortable shoes without the social stigma of not living up to sexist beauty standards. But nowadays, heart attack heels are being presented as the real thing, and girls who like to wear comfortable shoes are told that they are actually boys or non-binary. It is regressive and dangerous. Womanhood is defined by biology, not dresses. While claiming to deconstruct gender, this ideology reaffirms the sex-based hierarchical system that specifically disadvantages groups of people based on sex stereotypes. These girls are being transitioned at school as a mental health intervention. Yet studies also show no significant effects of social transition or name change on mental health status. There is no sound evidence that shows transitioning children at school behind their parents’ back is beneficial for their mental health or well-being. This is just a way to punish girls who do not behave in accordance to “ladylike” social standards. This ideology is misogyny in a dress. It has proven to be an absolute disaster. “Keeping secrets for/with children is a safeguarding red-flag. No child should be promised absolute confidentiality. Social transition - changing name, pronouns, clothing, hairstyle and access to facilities - is not a neutral act and can have far reaching implications on the individual child, their family and their peers. Policies and procedures that may affect the safeguarding of a trans-identified young person or their peers include allowing mixed sex provisions for sports, toilets, changing and overnight accommodation which impacts on other protected characteristics such as sex and religion or belief.” Sex-separated Spaces, Prisons, and Female Erasure The Vice President of The United States knows what a woman is. If women were not adult females, then we would have had a woman serve as vice president sooner. They has always been denied such opportunities, on the basis of having female biology. For the first female Vice President of The United States to disregard all the progress that women, mothers, and lesbians fought for is a shame. It would be unfortunate for the first female VP to leave her legacy by erasing females as a meaningful category worthy of protection, on the basis of sex. America deserves so much better. “Gender Identity” policies as seen in the Title IX amendments would allow a girl to get undressed in a locker room full of teenage boys without parental consent. No parent in their right mind would consent to such nonsense. But according to “trans rights,” parents don’t have the opportunity to revoke consent to anything their child does. The state of Florida has come under criticism for its interpretation of Title IX in public schools. It must be noted that was interpreted in a way that would allow for a third space to be installed. There are ways for everybody to coexist peacefully with one another and not trample on the rights of others. Millions of dollars in taxpayer money is being spent on alphabet propaganda in schools, instead of allocating it towards fair compromises and solutions. But the way that these amendments are being presented, the law is not giving enough room for such accommodations. Rational citizens have no other choice but to denounce it in its entirety and keep the whole system based on sex. “Gender Identity” laws are also creating situations where male rapists are being housed in female prisons. How can one claim that this is pro-“LGBTQIA+” when incarcerated lesbian and bisexual women are living in fear of violent men? Xena Grandicelli, a biological male born Jeffrey Willsea who now identifies as a woman. After pleading guilty to 11 counts of sexual assault against a 3 year old girl and serving just four months in Rikers Island state prison, Grandicelli went on to become a “trans rights activist” in New York. Despite being a level 3 sex offender in the state (which does not permit being within 1,000ft of a school), Grandicelli spoke at numerous panels and workshops, partnering with the Sylvia Rivera Law Project after they actively recruited him from prison. Claiming the female identity after serving time brought Grandicelli a lot of attention and sympathy as recently as 2021 by the Women & Justice Project for being a “woman who survived sexual assault during incarceration.” Not only were Grandicelli’s crimes overshadowed by two of the most prestigious universities in the nation giving him a platform to speak on, but he was also presented with a Community Hero Award by the Anti-Violence Project, which sounds suspiciously like Orwellian double-speak. Grandicelli was not the only violent criminal the Sylvia Rivera Law Project supported, either. In 2014, the SRLP advocated for child rapist and murderer Synthia China Blast (born Luis Morales) to be released from isolated confinement by launching a petition to New York's Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Blast/Morales brutally raped and murdered a 13 year old girl and bragged about it afterwards to his friends. It is worth noting that Xena Grandicelli has been known to use a community outreach program for an organization that advises incarcerated men on how to legally change their identification by declaring transgender status. It is also worth noting that transgender actor Laverne Cox spoke up as a representative of SRLP in support of Blast/Morales. But apparently Cox was not initially aware of Morales’ crimes due to the name change, later stating “If I had been made aware of these charges, then I would not have [shown support].” In California, these self-ID policies, on the basis of “gender identity,” have given male sex offenders the ability to sneak their way into a female juvenile detention facility. A 26-year-old man who went to jail for violating a minor is being housed in a juvenile detention facility for girls. Hannah Tubbs admitted to assaulting a 10-year-old girl in the restroom of a Denny’s restaurant. The assault stopped upon somebody else entering the restroom. Tubbs is spending the remainder of his two year sentence in Dorothy Kirby Center/Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall. If Tubbs was able to manipulate the laws in this way, then future criminals might be a be able to use the same loophole. Rapist Adam Graham was the image that one might conjure when thinking of a hardened criminal: bald, muscular, tattooed and prone to violence. He was like the vision of a henchman of a mob boss in a heist movie. However, after facing rape charges in Scotland’s court in 2020, Graham decided to become a woman named Isla Bryson slapping on a wig and starting female hormone therapy. Conveniently, Graham/Bryson was then held at Cornton Vale women’s prison, where they claim he’ll undergo a rigorous risk assessment to determine if he will serve the final sentence in a men or women’s prison. In Scotland, people as young as 16 can seek a gender recognition certificate to confirm a change in one’s legal sex after living in their new gender for just three months, and a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria is not required. Infamous Australian serial murderer Paul Denye went through a “trans phase” in prison while serving a 30-year sentence for strangling and stabbing three women to death in the early 90s. Denye confessed to the crimes in shocking detail. In letters sent to his brother, Denye allegedly stated that he’d committed the crimes “in anger over not being born female.” In 2021, he began openly identifying as a woman, asking to be called “Paula,” a phase that faded out within about a year after his application for gender surgery was denied. Demi Minor, formerly Demitrius Minor, is another self identified trans woman from New Jersey who is now known for impregnating two female inmates, forcing a transfer to a men’s prison in 2022. Countless media platforms referred to Minor as a “she,” despite the extreme breach in conduct that is forbidden at the women’s prison Minor was housed in, as well as the gruesome murder Minor committed at age 16. It seems no matter what they do, self-declared “trans women” in the prison system all around the United States as well as other parts of the world are being protected and respected by media platforms and Senate Bills alike. Take California Senate Bill 132, for example. Known as the Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law, effective January 1, 2021. The bill essentially lets prisoners choose their gender identity for the purpose of placement–regardless of sex assignment surgery or proof of hormone therapy. This means that violent men can take full advantage of this law by simply proclaiming themselves as women. There is currently an ongoing lawsuit between the state of California and female inmates of the state’s prison system, who are arguing that the law is unconstitutional in that it requires forfeiting any safety women in female facilities have left. These women want the world to know how unsafe they really feel. Inmates at the California Institute for Women (CIW) have been reaching out to the media in hopes that their cries of help are heard, but the mainstream media is busy uplifting these predators by painting them as “stunning and brave survivors of the prison system.” These are women with very little rights left who now feel completely disregarded as men are allowed into their spaces. Studies suggest that as many as 1 in 4 incarcerated women in the US experience sexual violence, typically by male staff members. Now these women have a new threat: biologically male bunk mates who could potentially impregnate them with or without their consent. Sadly, states like California and New Jersey are allowing biologically male rapists into female prisons with no signs of stopping. And across the world in Ireland, a transgender woman named Barbie Kardashian (formerly Gabriel Alejandro Gentile) was sent to a women’s prison in Limerick for over five years for threatening to rape, torture and kill his mother, and was later deemed “a serious threat to both female inmates and staff.” The solution would be to keep the prison system binary, requiring all convicted offenders to be placed with their biological sex at birth. Prison inmates should not be allowed to transition while incarcerated and should instead be placed into regular therapy to assess the true intentions of a transgender claim. Solitary confinement may seem inhumane but could be a must to keep all parties safe. Furthermore, their records should be carried over with their new legal name should they transition outside of the prison system. Criminals should not have the right to warp and hide their identities in a way that not only separates themselves from their crime but creates a whole new image for the public to associate them with, a devious psychological tactic to distract from their dirty past. If these ideas and more are either broken down or not implemented to keep women safe, we are that much closer to the breakdown of society as we know it. The boundaries and safety of female inmates should still matter. If this is going on in the prison system, imagine the kinds of things predators who haven’t been caught are doing outside of it. We can’t keep letting predatory men use the trans identity as a shield. Why are we bowing to the demands of rapists and child killers? It is harming not only women, but the trans community, which loses sympathy more and more each day as people commit atrocities in the name of the LGBTQ+ cult. We implore everyone in charge to speak up and call out evil when you see it. Listen to the women speaking out and don’t dismiss them for fear of being “transphobic.” These are murderers and rapists who have no remorse. Why do they deserve respect? They don't. Women fought decades for their own prisons. A lot of incarcerated women ARE victims of sex trafficking which is being celebrated by our school curriculum. Men retain male patterns of criminality even if they take hormones. 58% of trans prisoners commit sexual violent crimes. In the UK and Sweden, trans prisoners are more likely to have committed a sex crime than the average male and at much higher rates compared to females. 55% of imprisoned transgenders are sex offenders who are identifying their way into female prisons. Most of the prisoners, and their penises, are being put in female prisons are sex offenders and violent criminals. We believe that they are purposely identifying their way into female spaces in order to get access to their prey and groom them into being okay with having their boundaries violated. No, thank you. GIVE THESE WOMEN THEIR PRISONS BACK. Conclusion We were told that in order to accommodate TQI+ people on the basis of “gender identity” then we should just use their preferred pronouns as an act of politeness. We never consented to having our free speech taken away. We never consented to our erasure. We never consented to pornographic schools. We never consented to silencing parents. We never consented to chopping up children for a bloodthirsty terrorist cult. We never consented to Baby Blue and Baby Pink stripes on our flag. The transgender flag was invented by a pedophile who believed in abusing two-year-olds. That is DISGUSTING. They have forced the American people into submission and refuse to take NO for an answer. If “transgender rights” are going to ask for more, then so are we. We are asking one last time to reconsider enshrining “gender identity” into civil rights laws. The best possible outcome would be gender identity ideology being completely abolished from the school curriculum, gay rights, medical guidelines, Title IX, statistics, and the rights that gave gays, lesbians, women and girls the liberation to live freely and equally. If The Biden Administration is going to embrace gender identity, then we are being given no other choice but to be on offense and fight. Gays Against Groomers has been at the forefront of passing bills to end this corruption. We are the most influential, most successful and most powerful spearhead in the movement against gender identity ideology being forced onto children. We want it on record that a gay organization is the one who was at the frontlines with passing these bills. And we have been met with nothing but libel and scorn from radical activists. It is not transphobic to speak up about how laws are oppressing you or committing evil on your behalf. Especially when your community is being hijacked and abused by a sadistic cult, using “gender identity” to force “transgender” onto everyone, including things like harming children. The Biden Administration is doing this on behalf of a political project to break down sexual boundaries. We DENOUNCE everything being put forward. If they actually care about the opinions of millions of gays and lesbians, then we urge them to take our opinions seriously. All of the other gay organizations have become flooded with trans ideology. GLAAD (The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) is now an LGBTQIA+ charity. They even have admitted to keeping the organization’s name because they like the way it sounded. It no longer advocates for gay men and women. We are currently the only gay organization that advocates for what is in our community’s best interests. You are not doing this on behalf of us. All of us at Gays Against Groomers will continue to raise hell on this agenda until our concerns are addressed and handled. That is a promise. We demand respect, and we are going to get it. We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, Gays Against Groomers

Anyone who considers themselves LGB or T and are over the age of 35 can attest to the fact that there is something…different about the modern day gay community. Gays of the past are still present to recall marching in the streets, pushing for equality and a life free from fear and discrimination. No one needed social media or a cartoon graphic to teach them about being gay, they figured it out themselves. In the early days before the internet was alive and relevant, gay rights were intrinsically linked with same-sex attraction, employment and marriage rights. Now, the very definitions of gay, homosexual, and lesbian are not only being redefined, but in some radical LGBTQ circles are actually being shamed as offensive to the modern community. Prominent figures who helped pave the way for gay rights and were present (or not) at historical turning points like the Stonewall bar uprising are being edited and archived Orwell style in favor of actual criminals who better fit the new narrative. Even the military has changed its tune on the LGBTQ rather quickly…But why? Take Marsha P Johnson, for example. Johnson is hailed in multiple articles across the internet as a “African American transgender woman” and “pioneer of LGBTQ+ Activism.” If you ask ChatGPT to write about Marsha’s life, the AI will tell the same story, painting a heroic picture of a struggling black trans woman who exhibited gender non-conforming behavior which led to ridicule and mistreatment. There is also a claim that Marsha was discriminated against from within the LGBTQ community itself, which is all the more reason to empathize with no questions asked. But anything that can’t be questioned without instigating a heated debate or emotional reaction is absolutely worth questioning, especially if history contradicts the present. Marsha, also known as Malcolm Michaels Jr., is on camera clarifying the fact that he was a transvestite at most, a man who liked the art of drag and used she/her pronouns only when in character as Marsha. Malcolm is on record laughing at someone who thought he was a real woman, and emphasized the fact that he was a gay man who just enjoyed mild cross-dressing. Modern day radical activists will argue that these details are irrelevant, and if Malcolm were alive today, he would consider himself a transgender woman, since this term wasn’t popularized until after Malcolm’s death. They therefore insist on mislabeling him to better suit their belief system, despite the fact that Marsha P Johnson may or may not align with them today. Another popular claim regarding Marsha/Malcolm is that he played a vital role during the Stonewall uprising, but Malcolm himself said in an interview with Eric Marcus that he wasn’t there until after the riots had started. “I was having a party uptown,” Marsha is quoted. “And we were all out there and Miss Sylvia Rivera and them were over in the park having a cocktail…I didn’t arrive until 2am.” So no, Marsha P Johnson did not in fact “throw the first brick” at the Stonewall bar, nor was Marsha a transgender woman. To say so is erasure of gay men and underground transvestite culture of the era. It is dangerous to ignore these facts and apply contemporary terms to a time in which these terms never would have applied. Disclaimers exist for a reason. Why is Artificial Intelligence programmed with a lie? Because so many of our mainstream platforms are actively revising gay history through the lens of an extreme ideology that conflicts with the beliefs of its time. The further we get from the truth by “explaining it in modern terms,” the more ignorant society becomes. Rewriting the past to protect present feelings is treacherous, and circumvents any type of lesson we could possibly learn from. We cannot allow ourselves to be offended by historical facts enough to change them, for if we don’t know the truth of our history, how will we avoid repeating it? GAY VETERANS MATTER Stonewall is quickly dissolving into myth and legend, with folkloric retellings changing a little more each passing year. Malcolm Michaels and his friend Sylvia Rivera are both figures used by the modern TQ+ movement in an attempt to support the neo-trans narrative, despite the fact that both were self-identified gay men and cross-dressers who were not present at Stonewall when the violence broke out. Fred Sargeant, a gay activist who founded the very first Pride to commemorate Stonewall, often speaks out against the disinformation rife within the LGBTQ community to set the record straight (no pun intended). “Malcolm Michaels had zero to do with conceiving, proposing or organizing the first Pride or any other Pride. Hell, he and Rivera even got banned from Pride for their narcissistic behavior.” -Fred Sargeant Since leading the way for gay rights, founding Pride and representing homosexual men everywhere, Fred Sargeant has been met with hostility and even violence by the modern Trans Rights Activists. In September of 2022, Fred was 74 years old when he was assaulted and robbed by radical TRA’s at a Pride event in Vermont, all because he came to protest leftist misogyny and homophobia exhibited by modern activists. Attacking the elderly is not something TRAs are against; an elderly woman was attacked by a trans rights activist at an event in Auckland, NZ called Let Women Speak, cracking her skull and inspiring a fundraiser for her recovery. All because she wanted to defend womanhood. Fred has stated in multiple tweets that the attempt to protect LGBTQ youth started by Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera through their organization called STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) actually lead to some very dark scenarios and multiple convicted crimes. Fred says that the reason Marsha and Sylvia were iced out of Pride wasn’t because they were trans women of color hated within their own community, but because they were toxic narcissistic men who prioritized themselves over others and put young people in danger by enticing them into a life of dangerous sex work and drug use. The truth is very inconvenient for modern TQ+ activists who worship the hypothetical ground Marsha and Sylvia would have walked on, without acknowledging the fact that Marsha and Sylvia wouldn’t have even aligned with them if they were alive today. “I left home at age 10 in 1961. I hustled on 42nd Street. The early 60s was not a good time for drag queens, effeminate boys or boys that wore makeup like we did. Back then we were beat up by the police, by everybody. I didn't really come out as a drag queen until the late 60s. when drag queens were arrested, what degradation there was. I remember the first time I got arrested, I wasn't even in full drag. I was walking down the street and the cops just snatched me. People now want to call me a lesbian because I'm with Julia, and I say, "No. I'm just me. I'm not a lesbian." I'm tired of being labeled. I don't even like the label transgender. I'm tired of living with labels. I just want to be who I am.” -Sylvia Rivera Sylvia Rivera, also known as Rey “Sylvia Lee” Rivera, led a troubled early life. As a boy, Rivera was abandoned by his father shortly after his mother committed suicide. Rivera was then taken in by his grandmother, who beat him for his effeminate behavior. As a result, he hit the streets and became a child prostitute at 11 and was eventually taken in by drag queens. Under their influence, Rivera became “Sylvia,” a persona likely invented by Rivera to foster a sense of safety by becoming the kind of person who had rescued him, away from the abused child he once was. While some sources claim Sylvia considered himself transgender, he denied all labels and simply wished to exist without discrimination. The internet also paints a saintly picture of Sylvia Rivera, even going as far as claiming there is an attempt to “erase her from LGBTQ history.” Rey/Sylvia testified to throwing change at the police who came into the Stonewall bar to collect a pay off, something that apparently kept them from raiding the gay bar, and recalls a sudden escalation with the appearance of Molotov cocktails. As Fred claimed, Rivera was convicted for a shooting, a record that is now difficult to find and confirm. Sylvia Rivera tearfully told the same interviewer that spoke to Malcolm/Marsha that they failed to protect the youth they took in and housed in a slum building. Their attempts were futile without proper funding, something no one was empathetic enough to provide under the circumstances. It was only until Rivera’s death in 2002 that the Sylvia Rivera Law Project was founded, and the Latin-American drag queen was labeled as a transgender activist based on his gender-nonconformity. Sylvia is no longer able to clarify or defend this label, and despite the sloppy attempt to “help” LGBTQ youth that failed, the internet reveres Rivera to this day. Modern radicals will claim that these details don’t matter, and actively choose to apply modern language to describe historical figures in a way that serves present day beliefs best. But this type of historical revision doesn’t make sense. Why does the present-day LGBTQ movement pretend that they don’t want labels one minute, and then refer to themselves with hundreds of new labels the next? Why are Trans Radical Activists so insistent on using these extremely flawed and often traumatized human beings to idolize above other gay activists? Why do these radicals believe it’s acceptable to disrespect old school activists who walked so they could run, only to get punched in the face sometimes literally? A (DE)TRANS VETERAN SPEAKS Several members of Gays Against Groomers happen to be older than 40, and therefore remember gay history and its evolution vividly from their own own perspective. All of them have unique stories of the gay scene from the 60’s through the 90’s to today, and all of them are disturbed by the commercialized modern-day gay mob and the targeting of children through the neo-trans agenda. Their first hand experiences attest to the disturbing and Orwellian reality we find ourselves in today. These perspectives matter and need to be preserved as they were if we are to ever understand history in rich detail, regardless of whether or not it offends us. One such brave member is Austin B., 41, who transitioned from male to female at age 19 in 2002 and underwent half a dozen surgeries from top to bottom before realizing the process still didn’t make him feel authentic. He was completely infertile through the use of cross-sex hormones by age 23. Austin stopped and started hormones over the years, feeling pressured by other trans friends to stay trans and driven by the need to fit in. He now considers himself a castrated man, also known as a eunuch. “When I was around men, I never felt like I was one of them, and when I was around women, I didn’t feel like I was around them either. They accepted me in their own way, but I never truly felt like I belonged.” Austin confessed. “I just wanted friends and found myself molding to fit with whoever I was around, which is really dangerous and…I don’t recommend it.” Austin brought up the fact that he was suffering from comorbidities, including an eating disorder, depression and anxiety, and faced abuse that all could have contributed to his body image and struggle to accept himself. Being transsexual is a deeply personal and often painful journey, one filled with twists and turns that can sometimes be life threatening. This is not a concept that a young child with an underdeveloped brain can easily understand. Even Austin, who thought he had it all figured out at the age of 19, felt differently years down the road when there was no going back. It’s a possibility that should not be ignored for all considering the same path. For decades, this condition, referred to as gender identity disorder, has been classified as a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM. It was only in 2013 that this was “updated” in the DSM-5 as gender dysphoria, primarily to enable insurance claims (aka taxpayers money) to cover surgeries and hormones. Austin recalled that transsexuals were originally isolated from the gay community because the condition was considered a mental disorder that had nothing to do with experiencing same-sex attraction. Many gay people feel the same sense of confusion as to how transsexuals got tied to the gay community in the first place, and are even more confused by the modern day ever-fluid definition of the word. TRANSSEXUALS & SEX WORK Being transsexual was a rare condition that even the gay community didn’t fully understand, but were more likely to tolerate as a discriminated group themselves. Austin was in and out of gay and trans spaces through the course of many years, and openly discusses using sex work as a means to an end at a young age. In the process, he experienced the dark underbelly of the gay scene, describing gay men who enjoyed the company of young boys, fetishists who used transsexuals like napkins, and gay bars in debt to the actual mafia. “I struggled with regular jobs because if I couldn’t please a customer, I would be harassed, called names, and humiliated by my manager who didn’t want to lose a customer. I felt degraded at regular jobs making the bare minimum, so I decided sex work would pay more…I was ashamed of it. I always wanted to spend the money right away because I felt like it was cursed.” Today, sex work is marketed to young men and women alike as an empowering way of taking control and embracing sexuality as a positive, but in Austin’s time it was one of the only ways transsexual people could make money without facing debilitating discrimination that would bring their identity into question, by becoming a niche in the adult industry. One could argue that facing verbal harassment at a “normal” job is far less dangerous than illegal sex work, where one could be killed in a seedy hotel room and authorities would hardly bat an eye. It’s certainly not easy, and not a one-size-fits-all job, but one that many transsexuals fall into after feeling rejected from “regular” society and even themselves. FACT: Transvestite is NOT the same as transsexual, or transgender. Transvestites, also known as female impersonators, didn’t always perform in drag as queens. In fact, they were often straight men with families who simply enjoyed impersonating women, and often did so with outfits that some would now consider to be conservative. For other men, this behavior was a fetish known as autogynephilia, or sexual pleasure at the idea of dressing as or becoming a woman. See: that lotion-obsessed guy from Silence of the Lambs. Wanting to meet others like himself, Austin attended Camp Trans, an annual event that originally began as a protest to the Michigan Womyns Music Festival, which excluded trans women from attending. Modern radicals refer to these women now as TERFs, or Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists, a term used negatively as an attempt to shame women for not accepting biological men as women. Austin says this is where he was radicalized by extreme trans activists, many of whom were young, white, affluent anti-capitalists who were pro-sex work and held a grudge against whoever disagreed with them. Especially women. “These weren’t trans women [the way I knew them],” Austin explained. “These kids usually came from a loving home with two parents, and their idea of sex work was working at a woman owned strip club. Looking back, they reeked of entitlement.” Austin described an underground world lost in depravity and delusion. While he was drawn to the money of sex work, he often felt uncomfortable around radicals who told him to “unlearn” privilege, something he never really felt as someone who at times lived in a trailer. The new radical trans activist seemed practically possessed by a narcissistic entitled spirit that demanded acceptance of these beliefs and shame for lackthereof simultaneously. He says he sees what was once a hidden world not only pouring into the mainstream and normalized, but pulling children into it. “Pride used to only be a weekend event. I never saw any kids there, but it was known for pushing the envelope as far as what was acceptable. But people weren’t allowed to wander the streets mostly naked like they are now, and definitely not in front of kids.The cops would be there, and they would arrest people.” According to Austin, who now uses his experiences to warn young people of the risks and nuances of a transsexual life, Pride was a much more low-key event attended by gays and lesbians and the occasional transsexual, and typically raised money for AIDS patients or lesbians suffering with Breast Cancer. However, he brought up the fact that many prominent gay figures, primarily gay men, were not only advocating for gay rights, but for the boundaries of age restrictions to be removed. “Harvey Milk was known for it,” Austin recalled. “People knew he was living with a teenage boy at one point, and no one did anything about it. He liked teenage boys well into his 30’s.” Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, is idolized in gay history as one of the most impressionable activists to rise up from the LGBTQ community. He was also known for having relations with men ten or more years younger than him, and in 1964 he was allegedly in a technically legal relationship with then 16 year old Jack Galen McKinley. The age of consent in New York, the state where they met, is 14. But legality is not synonymous with morality, and if Elvis is now considered a pedophile for having a relationship with a teenage girl, isn’t Harvey also flirting with the same predatory line? What stopped Milk from having relationships with men his own age? Surely the pickings were not that slim. Harvey Milk was also a staunch public supporter of Rev. Jim Jones, a cult leader who in 1978 forced more than 900 people to commit suicide in what is now referred to as the Jonestown massacre. In a letter to President Jimmy Carter, Milk wrote “Rev. Jones is widely known in the minority communities here and elsewhere as a man of the highest character, who has undertaken constructive remedies for social problems which have been amazing in their scope and effectiveness.” In return for his endorsement, Jones provided Milk with resources like a printing press, volunteers, and free promotion through his cult, the Peoples Temple. Criticizers of Milk are shamed and called homophobic, and while some of his opposition at the time certainly were against homosexuals in general, there is nothing but praise for Milk in the modern world. Questions and criticism are frowned upon, his flaws are embraced, and he can do no wrong in the eyes of modern activists, except perhaps be “too white.” The first elected gay politician who loved teenage boys landed himself on a US postage stamp, has a foundation in his namesake, was played by Sean Penn in a Hollywood film, and also has a naval ship named after him, courtesy of the Obama administration. THE EARLY PUSH FOR LEGAL PEDOPHILIA In 1978, one of the most infamous and controversial organizations was formed in the name of gay rights: The North American Man/Boy Love Association, or NAMBLA. Originally inspired by the work of the Boston/Boise Committee, which formed in 1977 to defend a group of men indicted for running a boy prostitution ring in Massachusetts, NAMBLA appeared on the post-Stonewall scene to argue for the right and ability of post-pubescent teenagers to consent to sex with male adults. Some extended this further to cover pre-pubescent children. NAMBLA often pulls from history to point out a pattern of man/boy relationships and argues that children are sexual beings capable of having intimate relationships with adult men. Co-founded by a so-called “gay rights activist” and socialist David Thorstad, NAMBLA has been a target of understandably vehement disapproval from both sides of the political aisle, rejected from states to incorporate as a nonprofit agency, and kept under strict police surveillance. Any members who are publicly identified tend to lose their jobs, and requests made by NAMBLA to meet on the property of public institutions are firmly refused. Did You Know?: In Aug. 2000, The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) chose to use public funds to defend NAMBLA in court in Curley v. NAMBLA. Parents of Jeffrey Curley had filed a wrongful death lawsuit, accusing NAMBLA of inciting Jeffrey’s death at the hands of Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari through its web site’s literature. The ACLU acted as a surrogate for NAMBLA, allowing its members to defend themselves in court while remaining anonymous. They effectively protected NAMBLA from being dismantled through the case. [source] NAMBLA has been a source of contention in the gay community for years. LGB and T groups like pride marching committees, community centers, and the International Lesbian and Gay Association have all favored exclusion of NAMBLA, who have remained emboldened by support on social media and maintain a formidable list of publications available in many bookstores and libraries. In other words, NAMBLA has remained despite the years of push back from gay and straight communities alike. Yes, NAMBLA is still allowed to exist. Gays Against Groomers does not and will never endorse such an organization that has had their foot in the door of our community for far too long. Unfortunately, due to the western popularization of child drag performances, overly graphic and sexual LGBTQ “education” in schools and prosecution of parents in order to give youth power to keep secrets and make decisions without adult supervision, NAMBLA is closer than ever to getting what they want. All they’ve had to do is wait for history to repeat itself in a new way. There is no known female run equivalent to NAMBLA that has gained the same disturbing amount of traction, though it is not unheard of for women to support convicted pedophiles or the attraction to children in general. WHAT ABOUT THE LESBIANS? Enough about gay men. Lesbians were busy breaking female gender stereotypes long before straight women were obligated to step into male roles during World War 2. While it’s unclear when the word “lesbian” was first used to describe women who are attracted to other women, the first usage can be traced back to the 1800s, and became largely popularized in the 1960s and 1970s during the lesbian feminist era. Gay women played a huge role in women's liberation, seeing as they were brave enough to embrace masculinity within themselves by participating in physical activities like sports, joining the military, and challenging men by eliminating them from the romantic equation. Lesbian culture is rife with secret codes, sapphic poetry, gender bending outfits and original feminist ideals. Lesbians didn’t want to be men, they just didn’t want to be involved with men intimately or require their permission to live freely. Documenting lesbian history in any other way is an affront to the sacrifices lesbians made to become the backbone behind the push for women’s equality. Without the courage of lesbians intent on breaking free from the patriarchy, women might still be asking their fathers or husbands’ permission to drive, work, vote or get a credit card. So where were the lesbians during the first gay uprising? One name that some say was a prominent spark in the homo revolution was Stormé DeLarverie, a biracial butch lesbian and drag king born in New Orleans. With her androgynous mixed look, Stormé faced discrimination and violence from all angles. She was either not feminine enough or not black enough for her surrounding communities. Lesbians in Stormé’s time were predominantly masculine, or butch, and often dressed as men to enter male dominated spaces to pick up other women. She is primarily known for defending lesbians of the Village, and is quoted clarifying that the word “riot” is not an appropriate descriptor for Stonewall. “It was a rebellion, it was an uprising, it was civil rights disobedience – it wasn't no damn riot.” -Stormé DeLarverie Stormé herself is rumored to have confessed on her deathbed to throwing the first fist at Stonewall. Since there is no existing photographic evidence the public is aware of, the world may never know who is truly responsible for the history made that day. Many seem more concerned with gender confused Sylvia Rivera rather than recognizing lesbians' role in gay rights. It’s interesting that cross-dressing gay men are being given the historical spotlight in present-day. Will lesbians like Stormé be forgotten, if only through revision of what it means to be a gay woman? Or will Stormé be rewritten as a man? It is worth noting that Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, both biological men, are now featured on women’s history websites, and Stormé DeLarverie is featured in an article on GQ, a men’s magazine. While some see this as something to be celebrated, it furthers a narrative that doesn’t necessarily celebrate masculine women or feminine men, but aims to erase gender from western society and neutralize the entire population. In fact, it would seem women are the first target in the androgynous gentrification of western humanity. This can be supported by the recent controversy involving a John Hopkins University glossary definition of gay and lesbian. As you can see, gay men are still allowed to be defined as men, whereas gay women are re-defined as “non-men.” This oppressive language caused an uproar among gay and straight women alike, and JH subsequently removed the definition to process the backlash. Their explanation? Attempting to provide inclusive language for “non-binary” people. If this is true, why did only the words ‘lesbian’ and ‘woman’ get neutralized? How does one define sexuality without sex as the basis after centuries of the two being linked? And in a long string of new definitions popping up every day to revise their predecessors and label them as “misconceptions,” where is the line in this historical revision? If this was meant to be the “updated” definition, how long until there is no such thing as a man OR woman, much less a homosexual one? Incidentally, John Hopkins Hospital was the very first hospital to open a clinic dedicated to gender reassignment surgeries nearly 60 years ago. They have built a reputation being The Place To Go for transsexuals for decades. THE MILITARY 180: FROM DISCRIMINATION TO FORCED ACCEPTANCE The military has a steadfast reputation of discrimination against gay people. Many psychiatrists classified homosexuality as a mental or behavioral disorder in preparation for World War 2, and in 1942 military regulations began listing homosexuality as an excludable characteristic for the first time. In spite of this policy, hundreds of thousands of gays and lesbians alike signed up to serve their country, choosing a life of secrecy and fear in order to maintain their status, avoid dishonorable discharge and keep their veteran benefits. Thus, gay people started doing the work from the inside to prove to their fellow service members that they were normal, hard working patriots just like their straight counterparts one interaction at a time. When Bill Clinton campaigned for his presidency, he made a promise to end the ban on homosexuals in the military if elected. But once in office, it was immediately apparent it wouldn’t be that simple, and there was much debate among the administration. This led to the compromise of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” an open ended policy which forced gay American’s to remain in the closet during their service, but also supposedly prevented military personnel from discriminating against or harassing closeted service members they believed to be gay. But this only created an environment similar to pre-DADT, oftentimes requiring gay service members to lie to avoid being thrown out, which in turn was an offense punishable by dishonorable discharge. Despite DADT, gay service members could still be kicked out “with credible evidence,” which could be just about anything if it was said by someone in a high enough position of authority. Not only could you be punished for lying about your sexual orientation, everyone around you could be persecuted for “enabling your lie.” It was a trap. In other words, life for gay people wasn’t all that different under “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” The only difference between a gay person being discharged before and after DADT was the ability to change their discharge status, so as to either keep their benefits or even re-join out of financial need. Brian S. (pictured above on the right), Gays Against Groomers Director of Chapters, was one of the first openly gay members of the Air Force. He served from 2000 to 2015 and received multiple medals for his deployment to Iraq, as well as a commendation medal in 2015 for an Act of Courage for rescuing a woman from a burning car in D.C. By the time Brian was 9 years old, he knew he was gay, something he couldn’t have learned from school or movies due to the complete lack of representation of gays in media at the time. “I didn’t come from an abusive home,” Brian explained. “So I wasn’t made gay through abuse or neglect. I just was. I noticed my male friends more than my female friends. I figured it out myself, just like all gay people have done for thousands of years.” Brian experienced first hand the stress of living in a DADT military as a gay man who went to war. He advocated for the removal of DADT through joining the Service Member Legal Defense Network (OutServe-SLDN). He wanted the secrecy and hostility gay service members experienced under DADT to end. “It involved a lot of adult conversation,” Brian reminisced. “Sitting down and talking with people, hearing both sides and finding the medium grounds and showing how all of us gays, lesbians, bisexuals are completely normal people and are just trying to work hard and live life in society like everyone else. And it worked.” But as the repeal date of DADT approached in 2011 under the Obama administration, Brian said, some commanders took it as an opportunity to get as many gay people out of the military as quickly as possible before it was no longer acceptable to do so. Tensions were high and service members were bracing for the arrival of a new era, one the military had never seen. A few months before DADT disappeared, many of these processes were frozen in place, which added stress to those under investigation. And like the flip of a light-switch, the military switched gears, learning to co-exist with openly gay service members for the first time in history. But the peace only lasted a few years. Once gay marriage was federally legal and gay people were openly accepted by the military, there was nothing left for gay people to fight for. We had proven ourselves as equal members of society. With nothing left to advocate for, many gays were out of a job. Brian watched everything he’d fought for quickly crumble. Suddenly, the military began to prioritize feelings, promote individualism, and power was shifted to the troops, who knew they could bring punishment upon the heads of their commanders for “disrespecting their emotions.” It was completely counterintuitive to military culture. Discipline plummeted along with morale, and suddenly all the military could talk about was “the trans/Trans’/transgenders,'' a term that changed weekly and troops were disciplined for getting wrong or questioning. The goal posts kept moving. All resources suddenly shifted from LGB to exclusively T people, without knowing how to define them. Gay service members were blindsided by their sudden abandonment, and horrified when their questions were met with disciplinary action. They had never advocated for transsexuals beyond giving them a Facebook group to network in. Why was the military attaching them to the LGB community, while simultaneously disregarding any other letter? — Silas S., an active duty member of the military and member of Gays Against Groomers, joined the military in 2019 mostly in the closet, out of fear of discrimination. The military’s hard headed homophobic reputation was still alive. But when he arrived, Silas immediately noticed a wide accepting attitude among fellow service members. He also ran into parallel organizations that had updated their support of gay people to include trans people, but did not receive criticism of their ideas well. Then he noticed the definition of trans in the military was wide open, allowing men to identify as female without transitioning physically and adopt female soldiers' standards of hair and makeup. Silas was confused why the standards continued to exist at all. Why not just create a gender neutral standard at that point? But things got more serious when he noticed the medical hypocrisy of trans service members versus service members in need of medical care for different reasons. “A friend of mine who is out now, much happier because of it,” Silas recalled. “He’s missing a testicle, and since his body was not producing enough testosterone, he had a serious weight problem. I don't know why, but they would not give him testosterone to help with the imbalance. He claimed it was because it's considered a steroid. The thing that made him mad, and rightly so is that trans identifying people can get cross sex hormone replacements. To sum it up, a healthy woman [in the military] could get testosterone if she has gender dysphoria, but a man with a defect affecting his testosterone levels was denied.” The author is unable to share further details about Silas, his military branch or location out of respect for Silas’ safety and career, which he put on the line to join Gays Against Groomers. We commend him for speaking out and questioning the harsh and demanding agenda eroding America’s military one day at a time. — Before his second term ended, Former President Obama announced a policy in 2016 that would specifically allow transgender people to openly serve in the military as of July 1st, 2017. As some of us know, when Trump took Obama’s seat, he aimed to reverse the policy. After much pushback from LGBTQ groups and debate within the administration, the White House Announced a new policy in March of 2018 that would allow active transgender members to serve openly if they received a diagnosis for gender dysphoria before April 2019. After that date, members would have to serve under their observed sex at birth. Those post transition or diagnosed with gender dysphoria could no longer enlist. Despite his support for trans women in beauty pageants a decade prior, Trump was adamantly against trans people participating in sports and serving in the military during his time in office. A White House memorandum following Trump’s tweets announcing the ban said that allowing transgender service members could "hinder military effectiveness and lethality, disrupt unit cohesion, and tax military resources." But that’s not to say Trump hadn’t shown support for the gay community before, just as he supported trans women in pageants previously, and most of the gay community does not consider this policy a direct attack on the community as a whole. In fact, Early Exit polls in 2020 showed that Trump’s support from the LGBTQ had doubled since 2016, and in a survey cited by Newsweek of 1,200 queer men, 45% of them said they were planning on voting for Trump. President Joe Biden overturned Trump’s ban his first month in office in January 2021, but the military had already become hyper-focused on the emotions and identities of its troops, which in turn had lost respect from members who had expected to enter into a tough environment to become soldiers, part of a unit, military property ready for war. Instead, new gay members like Silas are being tossed aside like an old toy in favor of the persecuted flavor of the week: the Trans. With the permittance of fluid definitions and discouragement of questions, the military had gone full woke. Chris Beck is a walking cautionary tale of the military trans complex. A former Navy seal, Chris announced in 2013 he was transitioning to Kristin Beck, and quickly became the poster child for transgender military members. This garnered glowing attention from mainstream left and center left-wing media, who showered “Kristin” with compliments and praise. However, nearly ten years later, “Kristin” is back to being Chris, and now warns anyone who will listen (which tends to exclude anyone left-wing) that he was used to promote a dangerous lifestyle that made his life a living hell. Beck said his approval for hormones came after “about an hour” explaining his proclivity to wear women’s clothes, a rushed move friends of Chris say the psychiatrist made to secure a book deal. He now advocates for children to grow up naturally, and doesn’t recommend gender transition for anyone under the age of 25. Gay service members have become jaded by the hypocrisy, still unsure of how the two communities related or why gender was suddenly a fluid concept. We’d never demanded special treatment, just equal treatment, and certainly didn’t require a constant stream of medication to maintain ourselves. Since when was the military synonymous with individual identity and emotions? The adaptation felt like an insulting contradiction to the average LGB military member. After decades of fighting for their acceptance in the military and finally getting it, it was no longer enough to just be gay, and the military was ushering in the next era faster than you could say Stonewall. Morale, respect, discipline and enrollment in the military are at an all time low according to service members like Brian and Silas. In other words, the new wave of discriminated people advocating to join the military in peace are already hindering military effectiveness, disrupting cohesion, and costing extra to accommodate. The truth hurts. LESBIAN VETERANS OF OUR TIME Erica M., 42, grew up in a very conservative family just outside of New York City. Because of her family’s rural background of factory workers, she found herself favoring what would later be referred to as “tomboy behavior,” or “being like a boy.” Her Appalachian grandmother used to describe her as “funny.” Since she was never interested in dating growing up, it wasn’t until Erica joined the Air Force in 1999 that she realized she was the only one in her circle who didn’t know she was gay. The realization thrust her into a world of secrecy, lies, and cover up behavior like dating and flirting with men to avert suspicion. “If I didn’t give men attention, then they would call me gay,” Erica explained. “I used to date men to appease my mother…The term “beard” didn’t exist back then, but that’s what I did with men.” The “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” era from 1993-2011 was a grueling Olympics of covert flirting, sneaking around, and avoiding suspicion to serve America and stay employed by the military. And while most gay people would gravitate towards one another to form a tight knit network of support and confidentiality, occasionally they were pressured to betray one another. Lesbians like Erica were groped by gay men trying to prove their heterosexuality, while others were assaulted in horrific ways that left them broken and traumatized. In many cases these women weren’t released from the military for their poor mental health, but for admitting to their homosexuality prior to the assault. The assailants usually got a slap on the wrist, which could involve a few weeks without pay, and typically went on to be promoted in rank. “Most of us took care of each other,” Erica assured. “Sometimes the gay men would marry lesbians just so they could leave the base, get a house, and live their private lives. We knew who our community was, since our gaydars were at their peak under the circumstances. We did our best to stick together.” But as the years went by, the dynamic between gays and the military started shifting. Erica explained that some high-level officials would often have adulterous gay affairs with lower ranks, a relationship considered improper in the military and was referred to as fraternization. When the relationship seemed to be headed nowhere fast, junior enlisted gays would blackmail their high ranking lovers, resulting in complicated paperwork that was costing the military time and money to process. They were losing their most qualified and experienced employees, and that, Erica says, is one of the real reasons DADT was repealed. Gays finally had moral hypocrisy on their side, and it was hitting the military where it hurt: its wallet. Above: Erica M., marching with fellow service members at San Diego Pride Event in 2017 The gays had won the battle, but the day that DADT was repealed that September of 2011, Erica was deployed to war in Afghanistan. In spite of this, Erica described the golden years of gay rights from 2011-2013. Open acceptance in the military was at an all time high, positivity was everywhere, and gay-centric establishments were full of light-hearted celebration. The hate couldn’t thrive the way it used to. But it wasn’t a party for everyone. “I had this friend, Ernie Gonzolez,” Erica recalled. “He and I deployed together. Happiest man you’ve ever met in your life, cutest dude, little bit on the feminine side. And I saw him and I was like ‘I’m gonna take care of him, definitely.’ But he always talked about his family, loved his family. He was raised Catholic and he just adored his sisters. He never told them that he was gay. We used to share our care packages. He would go to the gym, take tons of selfies, and he seemed so happy. But one day out of nowhere he posted something dark and sad. So I hit him up to see what had happened, and he told me that he’d finally come out to his family and…they disowned him. So he committed suicide. They always tell you there are signs, but there were no signs except for that one post. Losing him was brutal.” As soon as the party had started, that’s how quickly it ended. Erica watched her favorite gay bars bought up by corporations like CVS and turned into debaucherous shadows of what they once were. The “gayborhoods” she knew and loved disappeared. She witnessed special interest groups come in to “retrain” military members at the behest of politicians and bureaucrats of absurdly wealthy circles scared of losing their money. The sudden appearance of so-called “transgender acceptance” was not just pushing away gay and conservative service members alike, but causing infighting within the gay community. They were successfully distracting, pressuring and dismantling the new-found unity of gay military members, as if to “remind them who’s boss.” Erica went on to serve a total of 22 years in the Air Force and Army combined, working hard to obtain high levels of clearance as a terrorist interrogation officer, meeting several Presidents along the way. She ultimately retired from the military with a slew of troops from every branch when the Covid vaccine mandate led to a mass exodus, causing the Pentagon to rescind the mandate in January 2023. As someone with first hand experience, and even interactions with the corrupt groups bent on destroying military morale and cohesion no matter the cost, Erica joined Gays Against Groomers June 2023 to help stop the same agenda from reaching children. She now works as a civilian in a large Air Force base on the west coast. —- Lesley K. is a 64 year old lesbian who recently joined Gays Against Groomers, and originally made a name for herself running the 2nd ever lesbian owned T-shirt company with her partner just before the online boom. She even attempted to sell one of the first lesbian calendars, an endeavor that was met with rejection and closed doors due to a lack of willing vendors. Back in her day, lesbian persecution was high. “We were so oppressed, really,” Lesley explained. “If you looked like a lesbian, and you identified as a lesbian it was hard to get a job.” In Lesley’s time, masculine looking gay women were ridiculed, rejected from jobs, and beaten for even appearing to be a lesbian. This happened despite the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964* because it didn’t protect lesbians from discrimination based on their sexuality, and was chiefly focused on safeguarding against discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, national origin and sex (which is the equivalent of gender, despite what radicals claim). Safe spaces for lesbians were limited, and much of the gay comradery revolved around the AIDS crisis, something that affected primarily gay men. Pride parades almost never involved young children attending except when a lesbian mother (who came out later in life) couldn’t find a babysitter. Even then, Pride was a weekend event, drag queens were strictly grown men impersonating women to entertain other adults, and no one was allowed to roam the streets nearly naked in kink gear. It certainly wasn’t embraced by the majority or commercialized by corporations the way it is today, and to many gay people, this is what made it special. *FACT: In 2012, the Colorado state ruled that baker Jack Phillips’ choice to refuse a gay couple service due to his religious beliefs was unlawful discrimination. But in 2018, the Supreme Court voted 7-2 that this ruling was a violation of Phillips’ rights covered under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. People not liking you isn’t oppression, and if gay people want respect we must in turn respect the rights of people who do not want to be involved in our lives based on their beliefs, or we are no better than they are. There’s plenty of bakers out there! Feminine lesbians were few and far between in gay history, and more butch lesbians started to consider gender transition. In the late 90’s, Lesley started seeing a select few of her butch lesbian friends decide to “go FTM,” a phrase used due to the lack of terminology for trans men at the time. It was something lesbians like Lesley didn’t understand, and either couldn’t come to terms with or did their best to support regardless. One of these FTMs, who became known as Mitch, Lesley noticed becoming more unhappy and reclusive after transitioning. In the late 2000’s, she was seeing lesbian bars folding like a tower of cards, and blamed a lack of financial support and demand for public lesbian spaces. Something was happening to gay women one day at a time, whether it was the disappearance of lesbian dominated bars or the abandonment of womanhood and lesbianism altogether. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO LESBIANS? “We’re a dying breed,” said Gays Against Groomers’ Assistant Director of Communications Carol H., a 52 year old lesbian who is known online as @rightsidelesbianart. “They’re doing away with lesbians because we were some of the first to push for women’s rights. Now they’re back to not wanting us to exist. We’ve come full circle. I’m experiencing hatred now like I haven’t felt since the early days.” Carol struggled with her homosexuality in a time when gays were completely on their own and in the dark without the internet to learn from or network with, something gays lived through for many years. It was her mother who “dragged her out of the closet,” only to reprimand her and wonder where she went wrong in Carol’s upbringing. Eager to leave home, Carol signed up for the Marines at age 19 in 1989, before “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell" was implemented. During boot camp, she suffered from an injury that required several days of bed rest. She was told she would have to move platoons and start her whole training all over again, something no one wants to hear. Misunderstanding her stressed reaction, Carol was sent to a series of doctors until she landed in the psychiatrist’s office. Anxiety was not recognized or respected as a disorder, and doctors knew very little about panic attacks at the time. Carol unloaded her worries on the psychiatrist, including her struggles with homosexuality, thinking all was confidential and air tight. But an hour later, she was removed from her platoon entirely and sent through a series of interviews all the way up the chain of command. For one week, Carol endured condescending lectures from multiple superiors who all expressed their disappointment and dissatisfaction. During this time, Carol was not permitted to exercise or wear her uniform and was put on cleaning duties that included polishing door knobs. After these grueling humiliation rituals, Carol was effectively discharged for “failing to disclose” her homosexuality. She went on to march during Pride events for lesbians everywhere. Coming out was obviously not the openly celebrated experience it is today. Lesbians like Carol and Lesley were called slurs, shamed by their parents, discharged from the military, denied work, and were often victims of sexual assault. Being a lesbian strictly applied to biological women who were attracted to other biological women and held a preference for the female body above their opposite counterpart, the man. Lesbians Carol’s age and older have lived through persecution in their youth only to witness the disappearance of lesbian spaces and experience persecution all over again at the present time by people who no longer think women should be defined by their anatomy. And yet, that’s exactly what being a lesbian meant for two centuries or more: preferring the female anatomy to the male. But that’s not to say lesbian culture is without its flaws. “When I was 18 and 19 in those bars,” Carol remembered. “I had butch lesbians in their 40’s chasing me around like there was no tomorrow. I don’t care what any lesbian says…it happens a lot.” So gay men are not the only ones to chase inappropriately young partners. Actress Sarah Paulson is married to a woman 30 years her senior, an uncomfortable example of the gay age gap phenomenon. The unfortunate stereotype of older gays pursuing younger gays has not gone unnoticed by homophobic critics looking for a reason to demonize the gay community, especially after the arrival of NAMBLA. Carol, with years of clinic and mental health counseling education under her belt, proposes it’s an attempt at holding onto youth vicariously. It’s no secret that high society is obsessed with delaying the aging process and staying young as long as possible. When that ship has sailed, the next best thing is to immerse oneself in young company. It’s not like straight people don’t do it too. See: Leonardo DiCaprio and every other man in Hollywood since its founding. Aside from the older butch lesbians that often chased multiple young women simultaneously (much like a straight man might), according to Carol, the second worst thing to happen to lesbians was going mainstream with help from a television drama that aired on Showtime in the US from 2004 to 2009 called ‘The L Word.’ It was immediately clear that the representation of lesbians in popular media was, unsurprisingly, a double edged sword. Shows like this that featured messy intertwining and often times overlapping relationships between lesbians and bisexual women, while occasionally accurate, exposed and glamorized lesbians in a manner that emboldened men to fetishize them more publicly in a flimsy attempt at support, and encouraged a wave of straight women to use lesbians as a kind of “sexy rebellion” against men and/or their parents. In a way, lesbians had made it at last. Along with the lesbian TV dramas, public figures like Ellen Degeneres rose in popularity, and it seemed a large portion of America was finally ready to embrace The Friendly Lesbian, an androgynous figure that posed Absolutely No Threat To Anyone (that is until years down the line when her staff came forward to expose how mean she really was off screen). In the early 2000’s, lesbian bars and coffee shops still existed, and it became easier for lesbians to find work. The gay scene was healing from the AIDS epidemic. Women were more empowered than ever, and so lesbians were empowered, too. But when the 2020’s arrived, what were the thanks lesbians received for their role in freeing women from male oppression? A brand new narcissistic movement gaslighting them into believing that they should either abandon their centuries old definition of what it means to be a lesbian, transition into men, or allow biological men to enter into their private wlw only spaces and accept them as women. It was as if men had been playing a long game of revenge against lesbians for their initial boldness to remove women from under their thumbs. Worst of all, some straight women support this invasion, as if subconsciously following their original oppressor’s wishes. The patriarchy had struck back, effectively turning true lesbians into an endangered species that more and more of society is being programmed to eradicate through the power of language. WAS GAY MARRIAGE TOO LATE? Let’s be honest, by the time same-sex marriage was federally legal in 2015, marriage as an institution was already something society as a whole no longer took seriously. When the first no-fault divorce was enacted in 1969 by then Governor Ronald Reagan, while it created a speedy process for couples who felt they had grown out of their partnership and wanted to move on, it also took away much of the weight marriage held as a long term vow. Marriage became something that could easily be dissolved if it “didn’t work out,” causing future generations to view marriage as a fancier version of dating, something they didn’t necessarily have to take seriously. There are many legal pros and cons to marriage for any couple, gay or straight, but without starting an entirely new essay, some gay people didn’t actually desire the right to be legally married. In some cases, it wasn’t beneficial to do so. For example, if your spouse becomes chronically ill, you cannot always become their recognized caregiver if you are legally married depending on what state you live in. Thus, if you want to take care of your sick partner, it might be better if you’re not married, which again depends on whether or not you meet requirements in your state. Some gay couples were content simply being each other's emergency contact and sharing a bank account. As the celebration of Pride extends longer and longer, we’re forced to ask ourselves: was it worth it? WHY IS GAY HISTORY DISAPPEARING? We are currently wading in the murky waters of a mass rewrite of gay history as we know it. Lesbians and gay soldiers are already feeling the brush of Orwellian level historical revisionism, and the mainstream is pushing censorship of speech and idolizing edited characters from history that don’t necessarily represent the gay movement. We have witnessed a massively unnecessary over correction of how society is told to perceive gay people, while simultaneously redefining what it means to be gay. The word ‘confusion’ doesn’t quite cover it. The public is being pressured to accept reinvented LGB and T people or face the shame of being branded a bad person, and parental rights are under fire under the guise of “protecting kids from hate and discrimination.” But what is the source of this behavioral control? Going mainstream hasn’t helped the gay community, but instead brought a level of attention to gay people that has reignited debate, discomfort and even hatred. But we didn’t ask for this. We didn’t want anything like the Gender Unicorn, or drag queens in cartoons for toddlers, or minors accessing cross-sex hormones. We are ashamed of figures like Harvey Milk, Sam Brinton, and Rachel Levine, who are commemorated by the government itself, and we’re concerned that our real heroes are being erased through language. Bringing children into the equation is something even the gay community has been fighting against since 1978. It is as though someone from NAMBLA has hit the gas pedal in the gay progress car knowing full well the car is going to crash. Veterans of gay rights like Erica, Brian and Carol feel cheated and used, as though they proved homophobic conservatives right by fighting for gay rights. But who is really to blame? Big Pharma and the education system have clearly identified themselves as secondary branches of the government, a government that hasn’t cared about any of us for decades, one that is full of corruption and deception. The military has caved to societal pressure to pander to a minority that is costing them everything the military stands for. But even higher, at the peak of society’s pyramid, are the aristocratic intellectuals in special interest groups using massive amounts of money to make things happen in all sectors of our world. And by coordinating with a long list of companies to signal to the gay community through their logos and commercials, schools to “re-educate” future generations, and doctors to enable the youth to believe they are different and special and in need of surgeries to love themselves, everything that once bound the gay community together has been thrust into a spotlight and sterilized. Their selfishness is decaying society as we know it faster than ever before. It’s so sinister that not even the indoctrinated realize the harm they’re doing. Once upon a time, gay people rebelled against the establishment, then tried to compromise with it. Now it’s as though we’ve become the establishment itself. The community has been over-saturated with young LGB and T people who are overly confident, entitled, sensitive, watered down versions of the homosexual rebels of the 80’s and 90’s demanding special treatment, not rights. And before our eyes, the gays of the past are being treated like they were “back then” by gays of the present. Our opinions no longer matter, because they can no longer be used by foundations to generate income while they pretend to care about whether or not we can legally wed or openly exist in the military. After decades of enduring violence and rejection to prove ourselves as regular, functioning citizens of western society, our struggles are being revised and in many cases destroyed in favor of something that none of us understand. This is not the progress we wanted. We’re being tossed aside after paving a long, long road of fighting to be seen as normal. We’re seeing people like the men of NAMBLA out in the open, with their interests listed in their social media bios, pretending their fetishes are an identity not to be discriminated against. We’re seeing fully grown adults advocate for teaching children graphic details of sexual acts with pornographic literature like “This Book is Gay.” We’re seeing children cross-dress and perform provocatively for adults, and the public applaud it as “art.” We’re watching the military turn into a bad joke other countries will make for years to come. What’s happening now has only given our silent despisers a reason to spout hatred we haven’t heard since before the internet was around. And how can we blame them, when we see who is being revered in gay history by a government intent on dividing us? Gay people are just as flawed as straight people, and who we sleep with is not the only thing about us. Many of us love our country, and without capitalism would not have been able to start up independent businesses to survive employment discrimination. Before the term pedophile was popularized, society didn’t know how else to describe a man molesting a little boy. But predators are present in any community, and their behavior shouldn’t be permitted to represent us all, because it doesn’t. Serial killers don’t represent all men just as pedophiles don’t represent all gays. The majority of us are just looking to settle down with a companion without losing our jobs, and we can do just that today! It is extremists on the left, freshly indoctrinated through the government funded education system, military and social media doing NAMBLA’s work for them by advocating for youth liberation and “sex positivity” at any age. The right has no choice but to react, and often does so with equally extreme relish, to contain the integrity and self respect of society before it crumbles into sexual anarchy. Where is this tug of war headed? Eventually, the rope will snap. Our military, weakened from the attempt at integrating feelings with war, is destroying itself from the inside, as though being punished for briefly achieving solidarity and threatening the pocket books of our oppressors. We could be facing the loss of a war, either external or internal, and new laws requiring all human beings to be raised by the state with no family and no real identity, living as androgynous chemically castrated slaves in jumpsuits who have almost nothing left to argue about. Like a parent that breaks up fighting children, we will have our privileges taken away. That is to say, the government will have a reason to persecute us again for being different in order to avoid conflict. By then, not even the radicals of today will be exempt from complete totalitarian control. But is it really our fault if the financial founders of our government instigated a rebellion in the first place? “The thing about extremists is they cannot be controlled, only used. Once they’ve served their purpose they’ll be eliminated from the system just like everyone they’re allowed to attack.” -Carol H. aka @rightsidelesbianart It all seems rather forced and intentional. Children are feeling pressured to choose a sexual identity as soon as possible, overwhelmed by all the apparent choices. They’re being provided with graphic books like “Gender Queer,” which can’t even be read aloud by parents at school board meetings without protest. We are on a crash landing to legal pedophilia, and the government is using the LGB and T community to do it. Why? The only explanation is that pedophiles have been permitted to rise in high society, and want to remove the shame of their depravity from the top of our system down, so that the public is none the wiser. They’ve been doing it for decades, subtly at first by allowing men like Harvey Milk to reach legendary status while censoring the unsavory details, funding hospitals like John Hopkins to create more permanent medical patients, then all at once by inserting gay culture into the military and public education system to reprogram future generations and eliminate the old ones who remember the truth. For a brief moment, we were as close to unity as we could get. But now, society is being “reprogrammed” with a new ideology designed to divide us. The less we agree on what being gay means now, the less likely it is that we unify to rise up against corruption. But by pushing the limits of gay progress and dragging developing children into it, the issue stretches beyond politics into the primal protective instincts of parents. We don’t consider it a good thing that parents are being prosecuted for speaking up on how their children are educated, or how they view their child’s identity, for if all parents lose their rights, what hope do we have for the safety of children who could easily be led astray by false heroes like Sylvia Rivera? By attacking parents for not following a brand new ideology, those on the fence over whether or not they approve of gay people are pushed over the edge into disdain. Any hateful person looking for a reason, holding their tongues, have firmly grasped the sudden sexualization of minors under the guise of “LGBTQ acceptance” as a reason to turn against the gay community as a whole. “It’s your fault,” they tell us. “This is what you wanted.” But it was never what we wanted. — Sources: https://twitter.com/ajlieshere/status/1605297813482455040?s=19 https://www.bunkhistory.org/resources/deconstructing-the-stonewall-myth-brick-by-brick https://www.awid.org/whrd/sylvia-rivera https://twitter.com/FredSargeant/status/1658673244075958273 https://twitter.com/FredSargeant/status/1663924351727435777 https://twitter.com/BraddockBessie/status/1641014867875229697 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/harvey-milk-stamp-matt-barber_n_4117311 Remembering Stormé - The Woman Of Color Who Incited The Stonewall Revolution | HuffPost Voices https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/johns-hopkins-pulls-lesbian-definition-after-uproar-over-use-of-non-men-instead-of-women/ar-AA1cyFaX https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44361162 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/dont-ask-dont-tell-repealed https://www.history.com/news/dont-ask-dont-tell-repeal-compromise https://nypost.com/2022/12/12/ex-navy-seal-who-detransitioned-warns-transgender-teens-slow-down/ https://www.baltimorebrew.com/2015/05/09/iconic-gay-nightspot-the-hippo-may-be-closing/ https://www.si.edu/stories/marsha-johnson-sylvia-rivera-and-history-pride-month https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/mar/08/donald-trump/donald-trump-issued-trans-military-ban-his-adminis/ https://www.metroweekly.com/2020/11/did-28-of-lgbtq-people-really-vote-for-donald-trump/ https://www.newsweek.com/though-most-lgbtqs-vote-democratic-new-poll-shows-45-queer-men-backing-trump-1531867# Knox Zajac reads aloud from 'pornographic' book at school board meeting (nypost.com) ‘My Child Is a Girl’: Chicago Mom Tearfully Tells Story of Losing Custody of Teen Daughter for Denying She’s Trans | CBN News WATCH: Colorado parent SILENCED by school board after reading graphic book available to school kids – The Right Scoop Florida school board removes parent from meeting for reading out of sexually explicit book from HS library | Fox News

On February 12th, 1974, author and Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was arrested and eventually exiled from the Soviet Union. According to the Solzhenitsyn Center, on the day of his arrest, he released the full text of his essay "Live Not by Lies." This classic essay is a short but powerful read. In it, Solzhenitsyn exhorts the resistance within the Soviet Union to hold fast to truth and what they know to be true. “And this is the way to break out of the imaginary encirclement of our inertness, the easiest way for us and the most devastating for the lies. For when people renounce lies, lies simply cease to exist. Like parasites, they can only survive when attached to a person.” (Solzhenitsyn, 1974). Solzhenitsyn’s call to action was clear. Do not affirm the lies of the Soviet government by repeating them. Stick to the truth without regard to what is popular. The same can be said about the fight that currently lies before us: the war on children, common decency, and objective reality. There are several subtle and insidious lies that are being fed to us daily. Like the Soviet government which Solzhenitsyn faced, these lies come from influencers, politicians, and the media. You might be familiar with some of these lies. One tells us that gender and sex are severable. Another suggests that hormones, puberty blockers, and radically invasive and experimental surgeries are “affirming healthcare” for distressed children. Yet another lie says that these drug treatments are completely reversible and do no long-lasting damage to children, physically or psychologically. You may have heard the emotionally manipulative question of asking a parent if they would rather have “a living son or a dead daughter.” These are the lies of today. And these are the lies by which we can no longer live. There is a war being waged on children in the United States. A radical and dangerous ideology seeks to create dependence on drugs like those mentioned above. It seeks to affirm not the thoughts, beliefs, or feelings of children, but its own malignant narcissism. The time is now for those of us who recognize the lies for what they are to take up the cause in defense of our children. In doing so, we can save them from a lifetime of medical dependency, psychological distress, and lifelong irreversible damage to their bodies. Not everyone can join Gays Against Groomers on the frontlines of this fight. Every member of this organization fights this battle in our own way and for our own reasons. But what is the minimum that anyone, anywhere can do? The answer is given to us by Solzhenitsyn himself: do not indulge the lies. No longer should we use the language of this radical ideology. What they call “gender-affirming care for kids,” we call for what it is: child mutilation and sterilization. When they enforce new pronouns on our children, we continue to use those that reflect material reality. When they place books in schools that contain graphic depictions of kink or erotic imagery and label it “queer-inclusive,” we call it for what it is: pornographic content and sexually explicit material. We can no longer be afraid of being labeled as bigots for saying what is true. The task before us all is clear. We must no longer indulge the lies. What do we have to lose by honest living? Solzhenitsyn asks the same question. Are we so invested in our social media followers, party invitations, and social circles that we are willing to turn a blind eye to the exploitation of children? The answer should be no. It is better to lose all these things than to lose our children and the soul of this country because we indulged the lies of a vocal and radical minority. Gays Against Groomers is here to lead the fight. Our organization is the first of its kind to stand up and say that enough is enough. The war on children will NOT be carried out in our name. We cannot do it alone. If you can join us, we are always welcoming new members. If you can support us, we ask that you contribute to our cause. To anyone else, a simple challenge: do not affirm the lies any longer. Like the Soviet Union, the apparatus supporting the lies of this ideology too shall fall. All it takes is for good people to stand up for what is right and be willing to live honestly, not by lies. References: Solzhenitsyn, A (1974, February 12) Live Not by Lies.

Years ago, Pride was about gay people stepping out to show the world we are the same as everyone else and deserving of equality and the right to marry. We wanted people to see that same sex relationships were not a threat, and in fact resembled the dynamic of straight relationships in many ways. We marched for our rights, and in 2004 the first legal gay marriage in the US was performed in Cambridge, MA. In June of 2015, the US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the US Constitution guarantees the right for same-sex couples to marry in all 50 US states. We had endured an excruciatingly drawn out battle, so there was all the more reason to celebrate the anniversary of legal same-sex marriage every June. But as the years went by, this celebration morphed from one of love and equality to a raunchy display of overt sexuality and debauchery in our name. We became tired of the predictive pandering from companies looking to exploit us for profit by pretending to support us. We found ourselves exhausted by fellow members of our community who put their sexuality on a pedestal as if it were their singular personality trait. And most of all, we find ourselves incredibly disturbed by the inclusion of children in these annual sexual exhibitions. Gays Against Groomers is comprised individuals within our community who feel like things have gone too far. We believe there is a firm difference between education versus indoctrination, inclusivity versus pandering, and celebrating your right to marry versus exhibiting disgusting behaviors meant for the privacy of your own home. We are the LGB and T people who don’t make our sexuality our dominant attribute, who don’t need the whole world to accept us, and are satisfied with our current rights. We don’t go along with the mainstream narrative regarding our community. Because of this, we face an onslaught of character assassinations daily, something we’ve grown numb to. Not only do we find Pride unnecessary now, we are extremely concerned by children being allowed at these events. We have seen young kids brought to parades and pride fests where adults are selling sex toys, hardly dressed, and displaying inappropriate behavior minors should not be witnessing. In this day and age, many believe this is a form of empowerment, a way to educate children with “sex positivity" and a way to teach inclusiveness and acceptance. In reality, we are looking at the destruction of innocence right before our eyes, and we won’t be silent about it. Gays Against Groomers will not let this happen without a fight. We are here to stand against it all and hold the line and our community accountable. While this is something that has to happen from inside of our community to be effective, we appreciate any and all support in our efforts to hold the line and save the innocence of children. The right thing is not always popular, but we will persevere and continue our fight until the war on children is ended.

Happy Pride Month, RADAR News. As we enter the worst month of the year, our team decided to make the best of it and do something special to help numb the pain. We are proud to announce the launch of Gays Against Groomers Publishing, and with it, our new book, The Gender Trap: The Trans Agenda's War Against Children by Carla Curtis, with a foreword by our founder, Jaimee Michell. If you are a parent whose son or daughter is questioning their identity, if you are puzzled by how the radical transgender movement has penetrated every area of life, if you feel abandoned by an ideology that distorts everything you always knew to be objectively true, if you have ever been ostracized simply for pointing out the obvious, or if you just want to know what on earth is going on—this book is for you. When we said that we value the opinions of people from all walks of life and points of view…we meant it. The Gender Trap is as non-partisan as it gets. It is a call for the ethical treatment of women and children, reminding the readers of the principles of gay liberation – a concept that has been hijacked and distorted beyond recognition by the gender industry. Gays Against Groomers Publishing stands firm in our commitment to platforming the ideas of those who have been marginalized for having an opinion that goes against the grain. We provide a voice to the families who have been torn apart by the lies of gender affirmation. And we honor the endeavors of well-meaning citizens who were slandered and burned at the stake for merely questioning the gender juggernaut. One would think that such a pervasive and well-funded corporate gold mine would be able to stand up to some criticism, but all who stray from the accepted narrative are tarred and feathered with accusations of bigotry. Our utmost respect goes out to the author, who came to us with her manuscript and mentioned that the language she used might be "a little too strong." Similar to the RADAR News writers, Carla Curtis makes an effort with this book to avoid euphemistic language that would downplay the biggest case of mass medical malpractice we have ever witnessed in our lifetime. All of the relevant research is cited neatly and thoroughly for any readers who want to learn more. Publishing this book is a way for our community to take a stand against an agenda that is colonizing our bodies, our hard-won rights, our values, and everything we've always known to be true. We included a chapter about stifling dissent and what happens whenever anyone tries to extend a good-faith gesture and discuss the psychic epidemic ruining an entire generation of children. Time and time again, their voices are drowned out, concerns are dismissed, and their history is co-opted to advance a dangerous agenda that has nothing to do with equal rights or representation. This is the book that the mainstream press doesn't want you to read. We will not be silenced. We will not be censored. We will not stand by as boundaries are dismantled, one by one, in the name of a dangerous and discriminatory ideology that belongs nowhere near children. So, let the unhinged queer revolutionaries tremble in fear as the information in this book begins to circulate. Let them stomp their feet and lash out in retaliation. Let them make empty threats of genocide. Let everybody know what is actually going on and who these crybullies really are. And most importantly, let this book serve as a lesson. Because when you come for our movement, our civil rights, and especially our children…you come for our very lives. So to all those who have stood with us, supported us, and joined us in this fight – thank you. Your solidarity strengthens us. Your bravery is what keeps us going, and together, we will be the force that brings gender ideology to its knees. And to those who have gone out of their way to sexualize, indoctrinate, and amputate the healthy body parts of children – we have a message for you: it's a shame that you weren't able to shut us down when you had the chance. Because now, it's too late, and our side of the story is finally getting the attention it deserves. All of us at Gays Against Groomers Publishing feel grateful and honored to have a brilliant lineup of some of the brightest minds and thought leaders on these topics who agreed to read our book and provide reviews for the back cover. First and foremost, we would like to thank Tucker Carlson. For such a distinguished and respected journalist of his caliber to take time out of his busy schedule to read our book means everything to us. We express our sincere appreciation to Tiffany Justice, co-founder of Moms For Liberty, a fellow organization leading the fight for parental rights, safety in female sports, and for deradicalizing the school curriculum. We stand with their cause and deeply appreciate how welcoming their organization has been. We thank author James Lindsay for his work, which has enabled gays and lesbians to expose the exploitative nature of Queer Marxism to a mainstream audience. We admire Erin Friday and her unrelenting willingness to collaborate with individuals who may not always agree on other social issues but are willing to unite under the most important cause: protecting children. Thank you, Chris Elston, father and activist, for dedicating his life to educating the public with his encyclopedic knowledge of the social contagion which forms the basis of this book. We extend our thanks to actor and comedian Rob Schneider for his enthusiastic support of this publication, our organization's mission, and the work we do. And a special thank you to Andy Ngo, author and journalist, for diligently covering our campaign in a manner that is both honest and accurate over the past two years. You can pre-order your copy of The Gender Trap: The Trans Agenda's War Against Children on the book's official website. The Gender Trap is our first book, and it certainly will not be our last. We can't wait for you to read it.

A liberating detransition story with the courageous message that healing gender dysphoria is totally possible, told by a feminine gay man, was unjustly censored by the local pride foundation on San Juan Island, Washington. Concerned by the preposterous number of "trans kids" in her community, Maureen Marinkovich was driven to invite an enlightening perspective to the gender confusion conversation by flying out detransitioner and member of Gays Against Groomers, Nicolas Blooms, to speak about his self-love journey from transition to detransition. By purposely naming the event Gender Curious: Healing Gender Dysphoria, their intention was to invite love, curiosity and healing without a single ounce of hate. Disturbingly, they were the ones who were met with hate and opposition by the local TRAs. The day before the events, both venues called Maureen canceling Nicolas Blooms from speaking because he was associated with the “hate group” Gays Against Groomers, by claiming we spread "hate speech." Despite the insane behavior from the radical left, Nicolas delivered his healing message to a small crowd in front of the original venue. As much as there was love flowing through the air, darkness arrived as TRAs attempted to overpower Nicolas’ gentle voice. Pounding on their horns, blasting Britney Spears and RuPaul, they zoomed by in their tiny cars raising their poorly made cardboard signs. Nicolas calmly stated, “the protesters remind me of the years of bullying I experienced and I felt my whole body shaking”. All of the protesters locked their minds from curiosity, love, and inclusion. One man reeking of alcohol breath and holding a sign that said “HRT is great” was especially raucous. The conversation went in circles, as he pointed obnoxiously to his phone where the UN states using the term "gender ideology" is “hate speech”, desperately connecting invisible dots to prove GAG to be a malevolent organization. The positive message of self-love and healing gender dysphoria Nicolas was there to deliver was suppressed for being “hate speech”. It begs the question: how can the TQ+ community claim they are all about love and inclusion, but go to great lengths to keep transing kids by stifling voices that disagree with gender ideology? This is unfortunately all too common these days, but it will never deter us from speaking out to protect youth from irreversible harm. You can watch Nicolas' full speech here.

The Red Goose Saloon in Fort Worth held a Disney-themed drag brunch, which was open to minors. The venue holds weekly drag shows that allow children to attend, The Dallas Express reported. The bar hosts “Moondance Drag Brunch” at noon every Sunday, which is known for its lewd attire and burlesque dancing. The Dallas Express reported that one performer took a shot of alcohol in front of the audience and spoke in a sexual tone. According to Visit Fort Worth, “shows are recommended 16+ for some language and musical content” although there is no mention on the site about the shows being sexual in nature. Texas Scorecard reported in March that Red Goose Saloon was asked by a Facebook user to consider making the event 18+. They reportedly told the person to “spread love, not hate and misinformation” and to not “police other people’s decisions.” Despite repeated outcry, the bar has no plans to change their policy of allowing minors to attend these types of shows. In June 2023, the Texas legislature passed Senate Bill 12, which would make it a criminal offense for an establishment to host events with sexually oriented performances if minors are present. Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton said when he introduced the bill that drag queens are “perverted adults” who are “obsessed with sexualizing young children.” That appears to be the common assumption when there is outrage over a bill that will do absolutely nothing to restrict drag shows, other than to prevent minors from attending a show that is sexual in nature. The bill is currently being held up in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas sued the state to halt the bill from taking effect. If the bill is allowed to go into effect, establishments will be fined up to $10,000 per offense if minors are in attendance. LGBTQ+ groups as well as the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas argue that laws to protect minors violate constitutionally protected rights and that the bill “discriminates against the content and viewpoints of performances and imposes prior restraint on free expression.” It is not a human rights issue nor a constitutional issue to protect minors from attending shows that have always been meant for adults. SB 12 does not restrict drag shows or the “free expression” of performers in any way, other than preventing minors from being in attendance, which seems to be happening too often at The Red Goose Saloon. It's time for the 5th Circuit to take up the appeal and put an end to events like these. And we hope to see laws like SB 12 implemented nationwide. References: Facebook. (2024, April 23).
