On June 11, a U.S. district court judge ruled as unconstitutional Florida’s law barring doctors from treating minors with puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones for gender dysphoria issues. The judge determined that the Florida law interfered with a minor’s right to be treated in accordance with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)’s Standards of Care Version 8 (SOC-8). Unfortunately, SOC-8 are neither standards of care nor a consensus of standards of care. Let’s explore why.Distinction Between Standards and GuidelinesMedical standards of care are determined as follows:There are a variety of factors that can evidence the applicable standard of care...

Dad is confronting the teachers in what looks to be a day care pre school. The Child looks to be about 4 or 5 years old. The place had boys in the class dressing in what looked like Disney Princess gowns.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) asserted that cross-sex hormones and surgeries were "medically necessary" so that insurance companies would pay for those procedures, allowing concerns about the treatments' affordability to dictate claims about their effectiveness, newly unsealed court documents show. WPATH's standards of care, which guide clinical practice in the United States, were updated in 2022 to include language about the medical necessity of hormones and surgeries because, as one WPATH official wrote in an email, the group was frustrated with America's "obtuse and unhealthy system of healthcare 'coverage.'" Most private insurance plans and state Medicaid policies...

From the beginning of recorded history, humans have made monumental decisions based upon the needs of their children. Some parents would move far away from the land in which they themselves were born and raised, because they wanted their children to have a better chance in the world. The Pilgrims, who left England, and many who followed them, came to America both for religious freedom, and a better future for their children. Many may remember the television series based upon Laura Ingalls Wilders’ novel, Little House on The Prairie. It’s the story of a man who moved west so...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill this week that allows schools to hide information from parents about their child’s gender identity.AB 1955 is the first of its kind in the United States. It prohibits school staff “from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent.”The law—which passed through both chambers of the state’s Democrat-controlled Assembly—means that children can identify by their biological sex at home and a different...

Newsom just signed Assembly Bill 1955 by Assemblyman Chris Ward (D-San Diego), the bill to prohibit schools from notifying parents if their child is “gender confused” or “transitioning” to the opposite sex. Horrifyingly, the bill’s title is “Support Academic Futures and Educators for Today’s Youth Act.”

Whistleblowers from Disney have provided O’Keefe Media Group with Disney’s internal communications, including group chats, bulletin boards, the company’s employee roster and employee websites, and the company’s Slack channel. “What we’ve discovered is so shocking that it makes the Disney Tapes series look like child’s play,” says James O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Meda Group. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month, O’Keefe Media Group revealed in part three of the Disney Tapes series that Disney’s Creative Marketing Director by day and professional drag queen by night, Amit “Genie” Gurnani, revealed Disney’s “unspoken” LGBTQ agenda for children. This only scratched...

Mr Macpherson said the activists are claiming the increased penalties would “disproportionately affect” the LGBTQ community. “How does anyone make sense of an argument like that?”

Despite the best efforts of leftist activists, many nonwhite parents are fighting back against the LGBT agenda infecting public schools.Like many left-leaning public school districts across America, the leadership of Fairfax County Public Schools just outside our nation’s capital is majority white, despite the region’s racial diversity. Meanwhile, the district’s white, leftist leaders, who incessantly claim to be inclusive, are ironically ignoring parental objections to teaching radical gender ideology in schools.At the end of June, the school board voted to include gender ideology in its seventh-grade sex-education curriculum. In response to a survey in which 84 percent of respondents opposed...

<p>There’s a celebrity trend that has nothing to do with the season’s hottest fashion designer, jewelry item or flashy car. Instead, Hollywood stars are parading their transgender children around like some sort of good luck charms on a keychain.</p><p>Fox has openly discussed her support of her alleged non-binary child Noah, a son she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green.

The provision of transgender services at Planned Parenthood clinics has surged in recent years, coinciding with the growing profitability of the transgender medical sector that exploits children. Data from regional branches of the abortion giant indicates a significant expansion. Planned Parenthood began selling hormone treatments in 2005.

However, the past three years have seen a substantial uptick in Planned Parenthood’s involvement in transgender healthcare. Now 45 of its affiliates sell the dangerous hormones. From 2020 to 2022, the number of transgender sales and related visits at...
