Defending Education is taking parental rights to court, suing the state of Colorado over its outrageous and arguably unconstitutional new groomer law. You might remember the recently passed Colorado legislation to fund castration of “trans” kids with taxpayer dollars and in spite of parents' wishes, to mandate pro-trans policies in schools, to criminalize “deadnaming,” and to take supposed “misgendering” into account in custody cases. Defending Education, an organization that stands for parents and against woke indoctrination in schools, is suing the Democrat-run state over the extremely harmful legislation. Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, Protect Kids Colorado, Do No Harm, and Dr....

A new undercover investigation by Live Action confirms just how easy it is to obtain cross-sex hormones from Planned Parenthood — even for minors. An undercover journalist posing as a 16-year-old female called Planned Parenthood facilities offering ‘transgender services’ in eight one-party consent states/territories —Minnesota, Oregon, Maine, New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Colorado, and Washington, D.C. How quickly can someone get cross-sex hormones? Staff at seven of the 33 facilities contacted confirmed they would prescribe cross-sex hormones at the first appointment, even virtually. A video highlighting the undercover calls shows that at the Planned Parenthood in Mankato, Minnesota, staff...

Democrats in CO are now pushing bill HB25-1312 which would take “misgendering” & “deadnaming” into account during custody hearings. Colorado father gagged for refusing to let his 13-year old son be sterilized. For that, Colorado courts stripped him of his parental rights - banning him from even talking to his child about gender, medical treatment, or the court case. "I haven't slept well forever... I'm afraid for my child."

A new report by the United Nations claims that Israel committed "genocidal acts" during the war in Gaza, including intentional harm to women's health facilities and the weaponization of sexual violence. The report claims that Israel committed sexual violence against Gazans, including making them undress in public and carrying out sexual assault as part of the procedures meant to punish Palestinian Arabs for the October 7th Massacre. It also claims that there was a surge in maternity deaths due to restricted access to medical supplies, amounting "to the crime against humanity of extermination." "Israeli authorities have destroyed in part the...

This is how desperate Democrats are to mutilate your kids.

California has long been the most insurrectionist of the states. Some states promised sanctuary to illegal aliens. California promises to go after law enforcement if they follow the law and cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Now California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who hopes to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom, is threatening hospitals that they must ignore Trump’s executive orders and go on sterilizing kids. California Attorney General Rob Bonta today reminded California hospitals and federally-funded healthcare providers of their ongoing obligation under California anti-discrimination law to provide gender affirming care amid confusion resulting from President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget...

A federal judge on Wednesday agreed with Gov. Andrew Cuomo's statement that pro-lifers “have no place” in New York.The judge then moved to make that recommendation a legal reality.The Washington Examiner reported that a federal judge struck down a Trump administration rule that would have allowed for healthcare workers to refuse to provide or refer to sterilizations, abortions, and medically assisted suicide if doing so violated their faith.

This ruling, concocted without legal precedent or constitutional justification, is nothing short of judicial sabotage. Worse, it was issued ex parte—meaning Trump administration lawyers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, and weren’t even in the room. Only Democrat attorneys general were heard, ensuring a predetermined outcome. Engelmayer’s order is legally indefensible. He cites no statutory basis because none exists. He offers no constitutional rationale because the Constitution directly contradicts him. Instead, he fabricates a fiction: that the duly appointed Treasury Secretary is nothing more than a ceremonial figurehead, akin to a powerless monarch, while unelected bureaucrats—who answer to no...

A Democrat Michigan state representative announced on Wednesday that she underwent sterilization earlier this year to avoid pregnancy under the Trump administration, Michigan Advance reported. “Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,” said state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-Livonia), who is openly bisexual. “I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate.” “If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official...

Leftism is a death cult. Abortion. Sterilization and mutilation of children. Euthanasia. Sterilizing yourself over politics. 😂 @lpohutsky19 oh boy.. pic.twitter.com/LHJj4ORINt— Al-droner (@alden_olms) February 6, 2025Back in the bad old days it was the fascists and communists who forced sterilization on women for eugenic reasons. Now, leftie women and men are protesting Donald Trump, whom they claim is a fascist, because they refuse to bring children into a world where he exists. No doubt Elon Musk's pronatalism plays a role, too. If Elon wants more kids, then they refuse to have them. Take that, Elon!Michigan state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky sterilized...

President Donald Trump signed a broad executive order targeting transition-related medical care for minors Tuesday. The order, titled “Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” intends to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care — including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery — for minors, which it defines as those younger than 19. It prohibits federal funding from covering such care for minors, restricts research and education grants to medical schools and hospitals, and directs the secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations to end such care for minors. The order also directs all federal agencies to rescind guidance...

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...

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.

How does the transgender ideology driving permanently body-altering “treatments” affect real people who regret their transitions? One detransitioner told her tragic story as a victim of the woke insanity prioritized over science and truly compassionate care. One theme among detransitioners is that they identified as transgender during a point in puberty when they were uncomfortable with their changing bodies. Instead of being encouraged to embrace their bodies, they were encouraged to believe that they should masquerade as the opposite sex and cut off body parts. Some of them were even told that they inevitably would commit suicide or experience other...

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...

Several liberal women have gotten sterilized or plan to, blaming their decision to become infertile on Donald Trump winning the 2024 presidential election. In interviews with Newsweek, the women, including an OnlyFans model, said they are afraid of their “reproductive rights” being taken away once Trump becomes president again. Trump has repeatedly said he believes abortion is a states issue, although his left-wing opponents have baselessly claimed that he will ban abortion nationwide. Eden Ixora, 25, of Florida, who reportedly creates content for OnlyFans, said, “the idea of getting pregnant is worse than death.” She told the outlet she is...

It's not a procedure you'd expect a 28-year-old to be planning. But for Lydia Echols from Texas, having her fallopian tubes removed is the price she's willing to pay to ensure her reproductive rights.Newsweek spoke to five women who have either undergone sterilization procedures or plan to in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's victory on November 5. They all expressed fear their reproductive choices will be taken from them under Trump's administration."If I am to be denied any rights in the next four (or more) years, I will not give them up without a fight," Echols said.Newsweek has contacted...

'Tomorrow's Children' (1934) which was called 'The Unborn' in the UK This was a very controversial film in its day. It was made during the height of the eugenics movement and considered subversive at the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSqUnqoHRFs Part I of 6

Americans’ trust in the scientific establishment took another hit last week with the revelation that a prominent advocate of adolescent transgender treatments had suppressed the findings of her federally funded research showing that puberty blockers did not improve mental health in children with gender distress. Johanna Olson-Kennedy worried that the study’s findings would be “weaponized” by opponents of the transgender treatments she promotes. This reinforces suspicions that scientists and their publications are less interested in the search for truth than they are in promoting progressive political causes. This advocacy extends to partisan politics itself. In only the second presidential election...

A At last month’s Democratic National Convention, men lined up to have themselves sterilized outside the conference center. You probably heard. So-called “reproductive rights” were one of the key issues of the Convention, which also had a giant inflatable IUD stationed close to the entrance, just in case attendees were in any doubt. Planned Parenthood took an RV to the Convention and set up a mobile clinic in a parking lot nearby. On Monday, the first day of proceedings, it offered free vasectomies, and then abortions the next day. Luis Ayala was one of ten men who had himself sterilized...
