When Audrey Hale shot her way into Nashville’s Covenant School on March 27 and murdered three adults and three nine-year-old children, attention immediately focused on her “manifesto” as possibly having the answer to the anguished “why?” question. Hale was clearly a seriously troubled young woman who had previously attended the school. She was also undergoing gender transition drug treatments, a fact that made the contents of her manifesto even more intensely of public interest. Such treatments are typically associated with a psychological condition known as “gender dysphoria.” Local authorities initially said the manifesto would be made public in due time,...

Toddlers and severely autistic children can communicate their “trans” identity by rejecting barrettes and drawing “queer” pictures. Yep. You go with that. After all, in order to keep the money flowing into the “Gender-affirming” medical establishment one has to mutilate as many kids as possible. Those “teets” need to be “yeeted,” after all. There’s good money in those children’s bodies

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (LifeSiteNews) — While other states work to remove pornographic content from public schools and children’s library access, Illinois is moving in the opposite direction, with a new law that will penalize schools for not allowing children unfettered access to such material. HB 2789 “adopt[s] the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights that indicates materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval or, in the alternative, develop a written statement declaring the inherent authority of the library or library system to” assemble a diverse collection of material and “prohibit the practice of banning...

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has signed a law to protect minors seeking gender-affirming care from the intervention of estranged parents.

Planned Parenthood, the nation’s number one abortion corporation committing 40% of the nation’s abortions, has in recent years diversified its business by offering hormone injections for transgender-identifying individuals. As a corporation, Planned Parenthood has begun to offer children as young as 16 the ability to obtain cross-sex hormone injections. The corporation’s website states that it is also willing to offer “gender affirming care” (GAC) at even younger ages if the child obtains parental permission. In some cases, Planned Parenthood also says it will refer a child elsewhere for GAC. Planned Parenthood Metro DC “Gender Affirming Care” Planned Parenthood claims young...

According to documents compiled in Live Action’s report, Planned Parenthood included such mutilating interventions in its annual report for the first...

We all need to read and promote "The Transgender Leviathan," a 40 page report written for the American Principles Project by Pedro Gonzalez of Chronicles Magazine... It's pure fire starting with its title page, There have been many terrible medical experiments in America, but none of them have had the deadly and destructive combination of ideology, politics, and profits propelling them into the culture....Transgenderism has the winning trifecta, and it makes the movement much more difficult to defeat, despite its obvious harm to people and the lack of any legitimate science or data to back up its central tenets.

"Psychotropic medications increased following gender-affirming pharmaceutical initiation." A 2021 study of military youth has revealed that not only were minors with severe mental illness allowed to embark upon experimental medical sex changes, but also that prescriptions for anti-psychotic drugs actually increased after hormonal interventions were initiated, reports Fox News. The study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, examined the Department of Defense (DoD) medical records of 3,754 trans-identified adolescents and 6,603 siblings who did not identify as transgender. The findings reveal no improvement in mental health after commencing hormone interventions and an increase in prescriptions for psychotropic medication. “Among...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is launching a probe into the Dell Children's Medical Center, a non-profit hospital located in Austin, after a video surfaced showing staff at the facility allegedly saying that they are treating children who are transitioning genders as young as 8 years old. Paxton issued a Request to Examine to the medical center on Friday to ensure the nonprofit complies with Texas law, which deems most gender transition treatments for minors as child abuse. "It is now alarmingly common for fringe activists to use their positions in medicine and health care to force experimental, life-altering...

In recent years, debates about the fairness of allowing men to compete against women in sports and the morality of chemically and surgically castrating youth suffering from gender dysphoria have emerged as contentious topics in the United States. While trans activists maintain that allowing men to compete in women's sports and body mutilating surgeries are necessary "gender-affirming healthcare," more Americans are pushing back against the idea that the solution to this social contagion among the nation's youth is sterilization by way of puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones and body disfiguring surgeries. Specifically, critics of policies allowing men to compete on women’s...

Republican-led states are pushing back against the radical LGBT movement with a wave of new laws restricting devastating transgender surgeries and drugs for children.2023 has been a breakthrough year in the fight to stop LGBT ideology and protect children from its harms. Since January, 14 states have approved laws to ban or limit “gender transitions” for minors, which have exploded in popularity in recent years as gender confusion has surged among youth.

The transgender movement claims that its members identify in some intangible way as being members of a different sex and that ‘feeling’ should override mere biology and science. But as is usually the case with the Left, the goalposts don’t stay there, they move dramatically. Attempts by Republicans and liberals to restrict the use of destructive forms of “gender-affirming care” from puberty blockers to radical surgery on minors have been met with hysteria and threats by everyone from Biden on down. 16-year-olds and then 12-year-olds, and then 8-year-olds, we are told, can meaningfully change gender and consent to drastic surgical...

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) is stonewalling a judge’s subpoena of internal documents related to how the medical organization came up with its guidelines for gender confused minors. WPATH, a leading advocate for child sex changes, was subpoenaed in March by a federal judge in Alabama after the organization’s guidelines were repeatedly referenced to argue against the state’s restrictions on sex changes for minors during a lawsuit. WPATH has attempted to quash the subpoena, which a judge denied in March. The court case challenges Alabama’s law banning sex changes for individuals under 19. While WPATH argued it...

Top medical schools in the state are now transitioning toddlers and training future primary care doctors on how to engage in the experimental treatment. Duke Medicine opened its Gender Clinic in 2015 to offer a wide variety of services under one roof. The clinic treats children as young as two for gender dysphoria. Dr. Deanna Adkins, a transgender activist who runs the clinic, said this about her toddler trans patients in an interview with the Charlotte Observer in 2016: “They are not old enough to consciously just choose to do that. … It is not a choice in any of...

Instead, the shelters must notify the state’s child services department.

A young “transgender” child went off-script during the recent filming of a new documentary, warning liberals that switching genders has “ruined my life.” Avery, a male who lives his life as a girl, blasted his far-left activist mother in an upcoming pro-transgender documentary entitled “Transhood.” The film follows the story of four children in Kansas City who have been forced into the spotlight as role models for the transgender community

Hospitals should be places you can trust to provide comfort and healing when you’re most vulnerable. But that trust may have been shattered by brutal Covid protocols that critics claim turned many hospitals into hellscapes of systematic medical murder.

For one thing, lawsuits against three hospitals have been filed in California by 14 bereaved families who claim their loved ones were killed by a deadly protocol. .. American Frontline Nurses are collecting and documenting stories from bereaved families about what happened to their loved...
