Following President Donald Trump’s executive order protecting children from irreversible gender procedures, hospitals across the country have started canceling appointments or ceasing their transgender programs for children.“It’s already having its intended effect — preventing children from being maimed and sterilized by adults perpetuating a radical, false claim that they can somehow change a child’s sex,” the White House said in a Monday release. “Hospitals around the country are taking action to downsize or eliminate their so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ programs.”“President Trump will always protect American children,” the White House added. “Promises made, promises kept – again.”In New York, NYU Langone Health...

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced a bill Wednesday to allow children harmed by transgender procedures to sue the doctors and hospitals that carried out the operations.Hawley’s bill would enable individuals to sue the pediatric gender clinics and doctors who gave them cross-sex hormones or performed transgender surgery on them as minors. The legislation comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order blocking federal funding for any hospital that performs such procedures. “Our children should no longer suffer from irreversible and dangerous child mutilation procedures, which the Biden administration enabled and promoted,” Hawley said. “I welcome President Trump’s strong action...

Our Nation will no longer fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support so-called "gender affirming care," which has already ruined far too many precious lives. My Order directs Agencies to use every available means to cut off Federal financial participation in institutions which seek to provide these barbaric medical procedures, that should have never been allowed to take place!

The Department of Justice is still pursuing charges against a Texas doctor who exposed transgender operations on kids. He told The Federalist he could face jail time in just days and pled with President Donald​ Trump to stop the lawfare. “This case needs to be dropped with prejudice because this illegal application of HIPAA will destroy the medical profession,” the whistleblower, Eithan Haim, told The Federalist. “Not only that but the prosecutors and FBI agents involved need to be investigated for potential criminal abuse of power.”Haim, a Dallas-area doctor, exposed Texas Children’s Hospital in May 2023 for performing transgender procedures...

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump Administration has moved to dismiss the case of Dr. Eithan Haim, the heroic whistleblower who exposed the child sex-change program at Texas Children's Hospital.

The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial When I learned the trans agenda targets gay, indigenous, fostered, lonely, autistic, & SA’d kids, that felt so evil, I couldn’t wrap my head around it. But now I’ve seen cases of transing severely incapacitated kids who already required lifelong care There is no ethical threshold. Billboard Chris 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @BillboardChris In 2015, California social worker Aydin Olson-Kennedy helped raise money for this girl with Down Syndrome to get her breasts cut off. Did she have cancer? No. This girl, named Sky, had been told she was really a boy. She was already on testosterone and had...

Politicians love to talk and heap cheap glory upon themselves. But what they don’t say is that voters will have to pay and pay for gruesome policy, like the forced sterilization of minor children through so-called “gender affirming” care. As other nations turn away from the leftist fetish practice and see America as a desperately sick culture, several U.S. states controlled by left-wing Democrats are pursuing the policy with a vengeance. Included among them are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont and Washington. And Illinois, where Gov. J.B. Pritzker wants to be president, plans on...

One of the most insidious assertions of the pro-trans left is that those who oppose puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, and other pseudo-scientific medical interventions for trans-identifying youth have “blood on their hands.” This is because, such ideologues claim, children deprived of this purported “medical care” are more likely to kill themselves. The fallaciousness of such declarations, however, is becoming more evident in light of acknowledgments from some unlikely sources in the media and medical establishment.The Inflammatory Ideological Charge Regarding Trans Youth…The “blood on the hands” slander of the pro-trans left has become predictably commonplace in recent years. NBC earlier this...

Trying to turn a physically healthy girl into a boy is arguably an abnegation of nature. So it is not surprising that doctors, psychologists and school officials resort to chicanery and badgering to foist irreversible medical procedures on confused kids who really are not afflicted with gender dysphoria but are often just suffering from a host of unrelated mental health issues.

French authorities have arrested 95 people and seized hundreds of digital devices containing massive amounts of illicit material in what officials are calling a significant breakthrough against an international child exploitation network, Breitbart reported. The National Gendarmerie's operation began in December last year and confiscated 122 computers, 152 smartphones, and 330 other digital devices. The seized equipment contained 375,000 photos and 156,000 videos, totaling 217 terabytes of illegal content. Among those arrested were several individuals in positions of authority, including a youth organization director, a sports instructor, and a deputy mayor, according to Le Figaro. The majority of suspects have...

Breen, currently a student at University of California-Los Angeles, not only began taking puberty blockers at 12 and testosterone at 13; she then had “top surgery” — a double mastectomy — at 14.

Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, one of the most prominent so-called “gender doctors” around, came under fire in October after she chose to withhold the findings of her nearly decade-long study on puberty blockers that appeared to contradict her personal beliefs. It turns out, however, that this sticky situation was only the beginning for Olson-Kennedy. Just last week, the doctor was hit with a weighty lawsuit from a college student at UCLA. A young woman, Clementine Breen, sued Olson-Kennedy on the grounds that the doctor “did not follow gatekeeping safeguards and pushed her into irreversible [transgender] treatment at the age of 12.”

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday let stand a ruling that subjugates parental rights to school politics.The ruling that had come out of the 7th U.S. District Court of Appeals in a Wisconsin fight claimed that parental rights were not affected when schools secretly encouraged children to be transgender, so the parents had no standing to bring the case.Justices Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas would have granted the petition, according to the court announcement, as it's an issue that is coming up more and more.Alito explained, "This case presents a question of great and growing national importance: whether...

When you read about Eithan Haim, don’t think about Eithan Haim. Think about yourself, and the world around you, and how that world works. Think about what it means to you, and what it would be like to be caught in the same traps — because you committed the simple act of speaking truthfully. Haim is the Texas surgeon who, as a surgical resident, told Christopher Rufo that Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) was lying when it publicly announced an end to transgender medical procedures on children. I started writing about the federal prosecution of Dr. Haim on Monday, and you...

Throughout this year, we've told you about Eithan Haim from Texas Children's Hospital (TCH). Haim, a surgeon, is also a whistleblower who exposed TCH's continued 'gender-affirming surgeries' on minors after the hospital claimed it had discontinued those procedures. Haim faces a decade in prison and $250,000 in fines because the Biden-Harris DOJ claim he got his whistleblower evidence 'under false pretenses and with intent to cause malicious harm to TCH.' Now a judge is trying to engage in Schrödinger's gag order on Haim, whose wife took to X to expose how corrupt the federal government is: My husband’s (@EithanHaim) First...

One day after the Supreme Court heard arguments over states’ ability to ban gender-affirming care for minors, a 20-year-old UCLA student sued two California doctors, saying they inappropriately rushed her “down a life-altering … and irreversibly damaging” gender transition beginning at age 12.

Federal prosecutors seek to silence Eithan Haim and his attorneys after they exposed major problems in the Biden Administration’s criminal targeting of the Dallas surgeon who blew the whistle on the mutilation of minors. Last week, federal prosecutors filed a Motion to Gag both Dr. Haim and the lawyers defending him against criminal charges the Department of Justice filed against the Texas physician in May 2024. The Biden Administration indicted Dr. Haim on spurious grounds after he leaked evidence a year earlier to journalist Christopher Rufo that the Texas Children’s Hospital was removing the healthy breasts and genitals of children....

Pro-life experts have sent out their final warnings to the 10 states that have abortion-related initiatives on the ballot. Family Research Council has put together a Life on the Ballot resource to help educate voters about what these measures entail in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota. “[W]hat’s so critical about these,” guest host and former Congressman Jody Hice stated, is that they “are constitutional referendums” that enshrine abortion as a fundamental right in these state’s constitutions. “[C]ertainly,” he added, “all Bible-believing Christ followers in those states [need] to go out and vote...

Podcaster and journalist Megyn Kelly stunned the audience during her appearance on Bill Maher's Real Time show on Friday night as she laid out the facts about children changing their sex. Audible gasps could be heard coming from the usually liberal audience members, with many seemingly recoiling in disgust. 'What we're doing to our children with this trans insanity. We are chopping off the healthy body parts of young children,' Kelly began, while the audience took in its collective breath.
