For part 1 of our exposé, click here The conference began with a worship song and a welcoming word by Greg and Lynn McDonald, who also played some videos introducing themselves and the event’s purpose. Notably, one video featured Hanne Larson, a ministry leader with Embracing the Journey who explained that she suspected her child was transgender at three years old. After the introductions, Debbie Causey took the stage for the first message. Causey is the gay-affirming pastor and Director of North Point’s Care Network. She’s a board member of Renovus, the LGBTQ-affirming activist group formed by North Point pastors...

Tennessee can move forward with a ban on gender-transition treatment for minors, according to a federal court ruling from September 28. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit rejected an appeal from families of transgender children, stating that the laws do not discriminate based on age or sex. The ruling, which prohibits treatments such as puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries, applies to both Tennessee and Kentucky.

There’s an absolutely horrific transition tale making the rounds on social media. It’s about a young Virginia girl named Sage Blair. When Sage was a high school student she suffered with mental illness. She ran away from home and became a victim of sex trafficking across several states. But the truly sad and horrifying part of this story is that the reason Sage ran away to begin with was that high school officials encouraged her to transition to “male,” and then neglected to inform her guardian grandparents about it. This predictably lead to relentless humiliation, bullying, and even rape threats...

It’s beginning. California is awaiting the signature of Gov. Gavin Newsom on the newly passed bill AB 957. Already approved by the California Senate, it is a bill which requires judges to decide if parents choose not to affirm a change in their child’s sexual identity, they then will be subject to losing the custody of their own children. It is a bit of hell on earth, born in the minds of woke democrats who cannot seem to see the dark road on which they have now chosen to guide the once beautiful state of California.

The Texas Supreme Court just upheld a state law banning so-called gender-affirming care for minors, to explosive consternation from predictable quarters. Progressive commentators portray this and similar laws passed by more than a dozen Republican — controlled state legislatures as “anti-LGBTQIA+.” In truth, the laws are aimed not at that whole bramble of capital letters, but solely at the “T.” Slamming these bans histrionically as “genocide” (four in 15,000 patients of the Tavistock Clinic or on its waiting list committed suicide between 2010 and 2020, but according to propaganda it’s up to 50 percent of trans kids who try to...

A grandmother is suing a Virginia school district and a public defender for allegedly hiding her 14-year-old granddaughter's gender transition from her and advocating for the teen to be put in a group home, actions she claims resulted in the child falling into the hands of sex traffickers on two occasions. Michele Blair is the grandmother of a teenager identified in court documents as "Sage," a female teenager who previously identified as a male but has since transitioned back to identifying as a female. Blair, alongside her husband, has served as the minor girl's legal guardian since the child was...

The scene is as heartbreaking as it is infuriating, as a drag queen swishes his hips for the toddlers and little children who fill the library room, asking them, “Who wants to be a drag queen when they grow up?” It is heartbreaking to think that some of these impressionable little ones will want to emulate this gay man’s perverse outfit and presentation. It is infuriating to think that the room was also filled with parents who joyfully brought their children to be exposed to this abuse in the name of diversity. What on earth were they thinking? How could...

(Photo by Alexandra Gorn on Unsplash) It’s shocking, though in no way overstated, to conclude that Americans today are living through a time of total spiritual warfare, when virtually all of the most contentious and consequential issues are neither political, ideological nor psychological. They are flat-out spiritual – good versus evil. There’s the early sexualization of innocent children in the nation’s public schools. And the mass-hysteria transgender craze that seduces mentally fragile teenagers into undergoing mutilating and irreversible surgeries. And the love affair with killing human babies in their mother’s womb. And the massive foreign invasion of America, purposefully engineered...

When I was very young, I was manipulated into sex reassignment (also known as sex/gender correction or sex/gender transition) by a transsexual man in his mid-40s. For several years he gave me puberty blockers - dangerous substances that block the effects of testosterone - and hormones of the opposite sex, i.e. estrogens. Just before I turned 18, a psychologist, psychiatrist, and sexologist, after one visit, without any tests, fabricated a diagnosis of transsexualism and referred me, officially, for a sex change, which should never have happened. Currently, I have had a reversal procedure, returning to the true sex I was...

I’ve just experienced another attack on social media. The harassment on X, as Twitter now calls itself, usually lasts around 36 hours, and while most of the nasties are trolls and bots, I can’t pretend that the hundreds of comments don’t have an effect. I’m a priest, progressive, outspoken. No point in complaining. But a disturbing new aspect of these bombardments are the repeated and constant false accusations of pedophilia – not a libellous dribble, but a flood. It’s not really about me of course, and I’m in good company. Last month in Belleville, Ont., when Justin Trudeau was swarmed...

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...

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed two bills banning “conversion therapy” for minors who identify as homosexual or transgender, turning healthcare providers and parents who do not accept their children were “born in the wrong body” into criminals. Media coverage of the bills focuses on therapy “intended to change a person’s sexual orientation” but alsos ban therapy aimed at persuading girls they are girls and boys they are boys, rather than “transgender”. House Bill 4617 defines conversion therapy as “any practice or treatment by a mental health professional that seeks to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity, including,...

A Florida high school principal and four staffers were arrested after allegedly failing to report the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl to the state. Palm Beach Central High School Principal Darren Edgecomb, 58, was booked Monday night for his alleged failure, police said. Charges were also filed against assistant principal Dan Snider, 49, assistant principal Nereyda Garcia, 37, chorus teacher Scott Houchins, 53, and school behavioral therapist Priscilla Carter. Charging documents revealed that school administrators were alerted to the abuse on June 16, 2021, when a friend of the victim wrote a letter alleging that the 15-year-old had...

EXCLUSIVE: A presentation offered by employees of the Hawaii Department of Health encourages staff and graduate students at the University of Hawaii Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy not to document their conversations with LGBTQ+ youth in an effort to keep parents in the dark about their child's sexual identity. The training, titled "Affirming practice with LGBTQ+ youth" and obtained by Fox News Digital through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, was delivered to staff and graduate students at the university on May 5 by two members of the Hawaii Department of Health’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division’s Safe...

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.

Transgender Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine has claimed children can go through 'the wrong puberty.' Levine, 65, endorsed providing gender-affirming care to minors, arguing that the treatment options are 'evidence-based.' 'The treatment options for gender-affirming care for transgender youth really are evidence-based,' Levine said. She had been asked about the possibility of keeping transgender youth from seeking body-altering treatment until at least the age of 18. Levine has previously said so-called gender-affirming care for minors has the 'highest support' from the Biden administration. Levine is the highest ranking openly transgender federal official in the country and was made a...

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...
