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.

A 20-year-old woman who says she was forced her into a sex change at age 12 has taken action against a controversial transgender youth doctor. Clementine Breen filed a medical negligence lawsuit against Los Angeles-based doctor Johanna Olsen-Kennedy on Thursday, claiming she was rushed into irreversible treatment to become male beginning at age 12, which may have left her infertile. The contentious lawsuit also alleges Olsen-Kennedy - the medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles - administered Breen's care without performing psychological testing or monitoring her mental health and the side...

During a 30-minute call with a conservative activist that was recorded before he became a candidate, William Braddock repeatedly warned the activist to not support GOP candidate Anna Paulina Luna in the Republican primary for a Tampa Bay-area congressional seat because he had access to assassins...

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....

People with HIV who need a kidney or liver transplant will be able to receive an organ from a donor with HIV under a new rule announced Tuesday by U.S. health officials. Previously, such transplants could be done only as part of research studies. The new rule, which takes effect Wednesday, is expected to shorten the wait for organs for all, regardless of HIV status, by increasing the pool of available organs. 'This rule removes unnecessary barriers to kidney and liver transplants, expanding the organ donor pool and improving outcomes for transplant recipients with HIV,' said U.S. Health and Human...

A father who has spent over half a decade and a nearly a million dollars to stop his young son from transitioning to a ‘girl’ against his (and allegedly his son’s) wishes has lost his most recent court case, resigning to the fact that his child will almost certainly be chemically castrated at the insistence of his ex-wife. He shared the sobering news on X: Four years ago, Jeff Younger was dealt a crippling blow by a Texas judge who ruled that his ex-wife, who has been actively trying to transition their child, was to be given sole medical, psychological,...

Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private who was sentenced Aug. 21 to 35 years in a military prison for releasing highly sensitive U.S. military secrets, is seeking gender reassignment. Here’s how gender reassignment works: Converting male anatomy to female anatomy requires removing the penis, reshaping genital tissue to appear more female and constructing a vagina. An incision is made into the scrotum, and the flap of skin is pulled back. The testes are removed. People who have male-to-female gender-reassignment surgery retain a prostate. Following surgery, estrogen (a female hormone) will stimulate breast development, widen the hips, inhibit the growth of...

A Miami-based surgeon known for proudly advertising her business of maiming bodies in the name of “gender-affirming” care announced on social media that her surgery center is opening more dates for transgender operations to “accommodate” patients in light of President-elect Donald Trump winning the election and heading back into the White House in January. Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher, who specializes in transgender surgeries — from top surgery to labiaplasties and phalloplasties — answered a question from a patient on social media, who asked if she Gallagher is concerned about continuing transgender surgeries in the current political climate. “This is a great...

Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) pledged to launch a campaign to boost radical sex change procedures in his state in response to Donald Trump’s landslide election. Pritzker used Transgender Awareness Week — November 12 to 19 — as a platform to showboat over the issue, Fox News reported. “This Transgender Awareness Week, I want you to know that I see you and have your back as governor,” Pritzker wrote on X. “Illinois has enshrined protections for gender-affirming care to meet this moment — and because of that, you will have a home here always.”

A federal appeals court has upheld an Indiana law banning the use of puberty blockers and hormones for transgender children under the age of 18, one of numerous such laws passed by Republican-controlled states. The 2-1 decision from the seventh US circuit court of appeals on Wednesday comes as the US supreme court prepares to hear a challenge to a similar law in Tennessee, which may ultimately determine whether all such state laws around the country can be enforced. The seventh circuit had already allowed the law to take effect in February while it considered the challenge by families of...

Paxton accuses Dr. M. Brett Cooper, an associate professor of pediatrics at UT Southwestern Medical Center who also practiced at Children's Medical Center Dallas, of prescribing various levels of testosterone cypionate to 15 patients between the ages of 14 and 17. Most patients listed in the lawsuit were between 16 and 17 years old. In the 34-page lawsuit filed in Collin County, Paxton calls Cooper a “scofflaw” and “radical gender activist” — a reprisal of similar labels he used in his first two lawsuits against Dr. May Lau of UT Southwestern and Dr. Hector Granados of El Paso. Paxton has...

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.

A prominent doctor and trans rights advocate admitted she deliberately withheld publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study on the effect of puberty blockers on American children — after finding no evidence that they improve patients’ mental health. Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy told the New York Times that she believes the study would be “weaponized” by critics of transgender care for kids, and that the research could one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.” Critics – including one of Olson-Kennedy’s fellow researchers on the study SNIP For the National Institutes of Health-funded study, researchers chose 95...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a lawsuit against Dr. May Lau on Thursday, alleging that the physician provided prohibited "gender transition" hormones to over 20 adolescents in violation of a Republican-backed ban that took effect in Texas last year.

A terrified organ donor came back to life, thrashing and crying on the operating room table, as surgeons prepared to harvest his body parts, according to witnesses - with one described as 'everybody's worst nightmare.' Thomas 'TJ' Hoover II, 36, had been declared brain dead when surgeons went to remove his organs at Baptist Health Richmond Hospital in Kentucky in October 2021, his sister and former Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates employees told NPR. But as doctors went to test his heart health for transplantation, Hoover reportedly became reanimated. 'He was thrashing around on the table,' Nyckoletta Martin recounted, claiming the...
