Children as young as seven will get transgender treatment on the NHS, according to plans seen by The Telegraph. In details of the new service to replace the controversial Tavistock clinic, NHS England has set out how it will limit the use of puberty blockers and ban activists and teachers from referring children for treatment. For the first time, it has set a minimum age of seven for referral to the gender identity clinics. These children will be offered psychological support and therapy that will focus on issues that may have led to their feelings about their gender. However, experts...

If you’ve seen Matt Walsh’s invaluable documentary What Is a Woman?, you know that it was, in large part, a circus parade of credentialed freaks – out-and-out train wrecks who, incredibly enough, are certified as psychiatrists or psychologists and are therefore actually permitted to “treat” children and young people who’ve been convinced that they’re trans. The only responsible-minded mental-health professional in the whole film (unless I’m forgetting somebody) was a child psychiatrist named Miriam Grossman. The moment her segment began, you knew she was going to be the truth-teller in the bunch: whereas you could discern the madness in her...

School districts across California are on a recruitment spree, doing what they can to enroll the state’s 4-year-olds into their year-old pre-K or “transitional kindergarten” (TK) program. Districts are trying to sell parents on TK by using school banners, bus bench ads, billboards, and texting and robocall campaigns. The $2.7 billion plan aims to have 400,000 4-year-olds enrolled by 2025, but it has been off to a sluggish start. Estimates from the Legislative Analyst’s Office put average daily attendance for the 2022-2023 school year at about 91,000, well short of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s estimates.The idea of having the government in...

Global cobalt demand soared with the advent of cell phones and laptop computers. It exploded with the arrival of electric vehicles and now is skyrocketing in tandem with government EV mandates and subsidies. Cobalt improves battery performance, extends driving range and reduces fire risks. Demand will reach stratospheric heights if governments remain obsessed with climate change and Net Zero. States and nations would have to switch to electric cars, trucks, buses and tractors; end coal and gas electricity generation; convert gas furnaces, water heaters and stoves to electricity; and provide alternative power for windless, sunless periods. Electricity generation would triple...

As we’ve seen, Democrats prioritize being the “first” more so than excellence. This is why they’re such big fans of affirmative action. A prime example of this screwy “first” mentality is Justice Ketanji Jackson. She was arguably chosen not for her intellect or capability but rather because she is a black woman, and it shows. Another “first” for Democrats is a cross-dressing man who goes by the name “Stacie” Laughton. Mr. Laughton became the nation’s first openly transgender state representative who’s been arrested on child pornography and child exploitation charges. Quite a remarkable “first”, indeed. Congratulations to the Democrats on...

America's first ever elected transgender lawmaker has been charged with horrific child sex offenses after allegedly getting her daycare worker to send her explicit photos of toddlers in her care. Stacie Marine Laughton, 39, a former Democrat representative, could face up to 30 years in jail after being charged with aiding and abetting the sexual exploitation of children. The former New Hampshire state representative was arrested after daycare worker Lindsay Groves, 38, was accused of taking explicit photographs of children aged between three to five years old in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. Groves was reportedly in a relationship with Laughton, and the...

According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), among the surveyed minors aged 14 to 18, every tenth child showed his naked body, and every 14th had sex for a fee. A few years ago, Ukraine was one of the five countries producing child pornography and one of the ten leaders in its distribution, and now Ukraine is among the top 3 suppliers of child pornography in the world.

The astounding speed with which a delusional fantasy has been imposed on society – that people can become the opposite sex simply by saying so – requires explanation. This obliteration of nature’s (and God’s) most fundamental truth of our lives and the resusltant diminishing of the reproduction of our species clearly vectors toward societal and civilizational collapse. It destroys fertility when surgical and chemical interventions are used, and this dooms the society successfully targeted to decline relative to the rest of the world unaffected by the craze. (Have you heard about transgenderism spreading in Russia and China?) The indoctrination of...

The California state Legislature twisted itself into an extra-salty pretzel this week over a bill that claims to combat child sex trafficking.

A surgeon dubbed Dr Frankenstein has candidly revealed the downsides of performing genital re-shaping surgeries on transgender children and adults, in a video which has since been deleted. In the video, Dr Blair Peters, a self-described 'queer surgeon' with 'he/they' pronouns, pink hair and a 'passion' for genital surgeries, says patients face fertility, sexual pleasure and other lifelong post-op complications. Perhaps more concerning is how Dr Peters - who works at one of America's most progressive hospitals - presents his procedures, some of which involve robotics, as experimental. He says he's 'figuring out what works' and that his team will...

I am a professor of psychology at Northwestern University. I have been a professor for 34 years, and a researcher for 40. Over the decades, I have studied controversial topics—from IQ, to sexual orientation, to transsexualism (what we called transgenderism before 2015), to pedophilia. I have published well over 100 academic articles. I am best known for studying sexual orientation —from genetic influences, to childhood precursors of homosexuality, to laboratory-measured sexual arousal patterns. My research has been denounced by people of all political stripes because I have never prioritized a favored constituency over the truth. But I have never had...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is once again speaking out against transgender politics, calling upon parents to “fight back” and protect their children from the ideology.“Time for parents to fight back!” the billionaire wrote on Twitter on July 9 in response to a TikTok video posted by an irate father.Gender ideology’s days are numbered.

Dad Goes Nuclear When Doc Pushes Trans To His Sons (7&9) Woman takes two boys to the doctor for physical and the doctor asks them if they identify as a boy a girl, gender fluid or non binary. The kids had never heard of this before. The father is going off on a tik tok video which Odin's men plays back in the first two minutes of this video.

At age 13, Ash Eskridge was severely under the influence, but not of drugs or alcohol — of TikTok. The brunette told The Post that trendsetters on the popular app wrongfully convinced her that she was transgender. “I saw TikTok videos by influencers saying how that transitioning saved their life,” said Eskridge, now 16, from Missoula, Montana. After becoming depressed at 12, she leaned on the virtual platform as an emotional crutch. “I was struggling and wanted it to save my life, too,” she told South West News Service. It was just after the pandemic that the Gen Zer joined...

3:23 Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has closed down state-run Internet links that provided pro-transgender activists with direct and private access to vulnerable teenagers. The shut-down programs, according to the Washington Post, included: Queer Kid Stuff, a resource for children and families that launched its video series in 2016 with a piece exploring the question, “What Does Gay Mean?” and Q Chat Space, which offers live, facilitated chats for LGBTQ+ teenagers. Neither site requires adult permission to use, which some conservatives say they find troubling but LGBTQ+ experts say is essential for youth who need support and are not comfortable...

The criminal practice of trafficking and abusing hundreds of thousands of migrant children who cross the southern border is now, thanks to the open-border policy of the Biden Administration, apparently "normal" inside the US:"According to Customs and Border Protection, since January 2021 when Biden took the oath of office, there have been 5,118,661 encounters with illegal immigrants along the southern border."These numbers do not include reports that "at least 1.2 million illegal immigrants," or "gotaways," who "were confirmed to have unlawfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.""The actual number of illegal immigrants... [is] unknown. It could be double the number of known...

Following the French Revolution, the British philosopher Edmund Burke signaled a note of caution, warning that the desire for progress, uninhibited by convention, can lead to disaster. Revolutions in the name of lofty ideals—liberty, equality, science—can yield their opposites. A revolution in our time merits similar consideration: the transformation of human sexuality and, in particular, the rise of so-called transgender medicine. * * * The dismal metaphysics that lies beneath OHSU’s castration machines is academic queer theory, which holds that human beings are mere vehicles of “performativity” and that their nature can be molded and reshaped at will. In other...

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, vetoed three bills this week, one of which would have protected children from life-altering gender surgeries performed under the guise of “affirmation.” Cooper vetoed House Bill 808, also known as the Act to Prohibit Gender Transition Procedures for Minors, which specifically states that it would be “unlawful for a medical professional to perform a surgical gender transition procedure on a minor or to prescribe, provide, or dispense puberty-blocking drugs or cross-sex hormones to a minor.” The bill provided exceptions, including for those with a medically verifiable disorder of sex development. According to the...
