Nicholas Reeve, his wife Amanda Reeve and their transgender son Sam Reeve, who all requested to go by pseudonyms for fear of retaliation, devised an “escape plan” for their family in anticipation of the 2024 presidential election.

Nicholas, a Northwestern University employee, and Amanda worried what another four years under President Donald Trump’s leadership could mean for their preteen transgender son’s access to gender-affirming care.

Sam came out as transgender two years ago and started on a puberty blocker in April 2024 under the Biden administration. He plans to begin testosterone hormone therapy in the near future.


This kid is 13 years old. If they go to Canada and try to come back they should be arrested at the border

The parents of this 13 year old child should be jailed for mutilation and abuse of their child. I don’t get it. This child is not mature enough to make a life changing decision like this. Why would anyone want to cut off their genitalia to dress and prance around in clothing of the opposite sex so that later that person can be intimate with a member of their own sex? Seriously loose screws in the gray brain matter and our society of permitting such an atrocity.

Whoever the quake is that’s administering treatment should be arrested. Or at least have their license taken away

Sick. I can only imagine what kind of Kool-Aid they’ve been drinking and how much of Oprah, Whoopie and all of the other loonies they’ve been watching. A boy is a boy and a girl is a girl, and don’t fool with Mother Nature!

How’s that for being overly-dramatic? I wonder if they used code phrases.

John has a long mustache.
There is a fire at the insurance agency.
Wound my heart with a monotonous languor.

It’s not considered child abuse because liberals have decided that LGBT etc people’s are special. And even if we’re talking about pre pubescent children, the liberals believe there is some inherent right to so called gender affirming care.

The liberals consider it child abuse to NOT administer hormone shots or perform surgery. We are in Orwell’s 1984.

Does anyone ever wonder if all those missing unaccompanied children from SA didn’t end up as experiments on lab tables for these wackos.
