Google Removes Gender Clinic Map, Citing ‘Harassment’ Violation

/0 Comments/in , /by

A user-made Google map tracking over 500 pediatric gender clinics that have sprouted up all over North America in recent years was removed by Google last week. A spokesperson for Google said the map violated their policies on “harassment.”

Alix Aharon, the creator of the Gender Mapping Project, which was created using the Google Maps “My Maps” feature, which allows users to create custom maps, said she noticed it was deactivated on Friday, September 30. Aharon shared a notice she received to Twitter from Google that said her map violated their “Harrassment, Bullying and Threats policy.”

Aharon is a founding member of Partners for Ethical Care, a “mother-led movement to educate the world about gender ideology and protect children,” Aharon told The Daily Wire. She is also on the Board of the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), a legal network and advocacy group that aims to protect the rights of women.

“They don’t want people to know how many gender clinics exist. They don’t want people to know there’s hundreds,” said Aharon, who claimed she and her colleagues have called over 500 pediatric gender clinics to confirm their existence before placing them on the map.

A trans-identified biological male named Erin Reed created a map in 2019 to help people find clinics that prescribe cross-sex hormones, which inspired Aharon to create her own in 2021. While both maps track gender clinics across the country containing virtually the same data points, only Reed’s map was permitted to remain visible on Google.

Child Molester Awarded $2.5 Million in Attorney’s Fees After Idaho DOC Delayed Transgender Surgery

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former inmate in the Idaho Department of Corrections has been awarded millions in attorney’s fees after the state did not immediately agree to pay for transgender surgery.

Back in 2011, Adree Edmo, formerly known as Mason Dean Edmo, molested a 15-year-old boy while the boy was asleep. Edmo pled guilty to sexually abusing a minor under the age of 16 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Within the next few years, Edmo began to struggle with gender identity. By 2017, Edmo had sued the state for violating Edmo’s Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment because the state had not paid for transgender surgery. In 2018, U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill ruled in favor of Edmo and ruled that the state DOC must provide Edmo with the “gender confirmation” surgery, which she deemed “medically necessary.”

However, the surgery was delayed yet another two years because the state opted to appeal the ruling rather than provide the surgery. Eventually, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld nearly the entire ruling, and Edmo received the surgery in 2020, making Edmo just the second U.S. inmate in history to receive the surgery while still incarcerated. Following the procedure, Edmo was transferred to a woman’s prison and released in 2021.

Judge Tosses Biden Rules Threatening Doctors and Parents Who Oppose Amputating Kids’ Genitals

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge in Texas threw out Biden administration guidelines threatening health care providers and parents with civil rights lawsuits over opposition to transgender surgeries that mutilate children’s sex organs.

In September last year, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas challenging regulations from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that mandated accommodation for trans-identified employees. Under the EEOC guidance, employers may be sued for discrimination over policies related to dress codes, bathrooms, and pronouns.

But in March, the case was amended to include new rules from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) covering how minors must be accommodated with wrongly named “gender affirming care.” The HHS regulations came in response to Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s February order, which tasked protective services with investigating so-called sex-change procedures on minors as child abuse, and stipulated that opponents to such severe medical intervention could be subject to civil rights lawsuits.

The Biden administration argued the new regulations were justified by the Supreme Court’s 2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, wherein the high court changed the meaning of “sex” in civil rights protections to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority 6-3 opinion, which declared that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it illegal to fire an employee for being gay or transgender. Writing in dissent, Justice Samuel Alito warned the majority ruling in Bostock would creep into attempted government coercion of every possible avenue of accommodation.

Media Silent on Jill Biden’s Hurricane Heels After Melting Down Over Melania Trump’s

/0 Comments/in , /by

First Lady Jill Biden wore heeled shoes Wednesday as she joined the president to tour the disaster damage in Florida after Hurricane Ian ripped across the peninsula as a Category 4 storm. . .

Below is a sampling of the headlines admonishing the former first lady over a made-up controversy:

The New York Times: “Melania Trump, Off to Texas, Finds Herself on Thin Heels.”

Vogue: “Melania Trump’s Hurricane Stilettos, and the White House’s Continual Failure to Understand Optics.”

. . .While the shoes themselves don’t matter, the double standard absolutely does. The conduct of Trump’s critics not only reveals open animosity for the former first lady, but also reveals just as much how the corporate press approached the Republican administration at large. From disparate hysteria over DOJ resignations to the difference in coverage between the Russia hoax and the Hunter Biden laptop, there is no shortage of examples.

Doctors Performed Dozens of Genital Surgeries on Minors, Data Confirms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dozens of genital surgeries and hundreds of mastectomies were performed on children for the purpose of gender transitions from 2019 to 2021, according to insurance data analyzed by health technology company Komodo Health Inc and originally reported by Reuters.

At least 56 genital surgeries and 776 mastectomies were performed on minors aged 13 to 17 who had gender dysphoria diagnoses in the US from 2017-2019, according to Komodo. The numbers are likely an undercount since the data only includes those that were covered by insurance and doesn’t include children who don’t have a gender dysphoria diagnosis in their medical records.

Top National School Psychologist Part of Group Offering to Resettle Gay Kids With New, ‘Queer Friendly’ Parents

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A top leader in a national school psychologists’ association is participating in a group that funds efforts to rehome gay youth to new parents, internal materials obtained by The Daily Wire reveal.

Amy Cannava, chair of the National Association Of School Psychologists’ (NASP) LGBTQI2-S Committee, participated in discussions on the internal message board for the Pride Liberation Project (PLP). The group’s “Resources For Outed Students” section advised “students who are facing familial rejection or need to leave their home for another reason” to “[r]each out to Amy (she/her) immediately. They work with Safe Space NOVA, are an adult, and can provide you with much more information. They are also confidential.”

The section went on to say that PLP could rehome students who did not like their parents, as well as pay them money and have an adult pick them up to take them to their new lives. It also said the group could provide false documentation to hide children’s whereabouts while they participated in gay activities. “In the event of you needing to leave your home, we can provide you with emergency housing from a supportive, Queer friendly adult,” it said. It added: “We will work with other supportive adult organizations in the region to find you someone who can provide you a kind and affirming home.”

PLP was the subject of glowing national media attention September 27 when it claimed that it got 12,000 students to walk out of class to protest draft guidance from Virginia’s Department of Education that said schools should not hide a student’s gender transition for parents, and that schools should accommodate a student’s gender transition, but do so only with the permission of parents.

Confused VP Harris Claims People Don’t Need to ‘Abandon Their Faith’ to Support Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans don’t need to abandon their faith to support abortion rights in the U.S., Vice President Kamala Harris argued Wednesday.

Harris made the statement while speaking at an abortion rights conference in Connecticut, joining a panel discussion alongside Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson and Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn. Hayes pressed Harris to explain how a person might still support abortion rights even if their religious beliefs declare it immoral.

“What would you say to someone who understands why abortion should be a personal decision between a pregnant person and whomever else they decide to include in the conversation, but believes they can’t reconcile it with their faith?” Hayes asked, reading a question from the audience.

“That’s such an important point to raise,” Harris responded. “It is her choice and it should be her choice to make, if she chooses a consultation with a loved one, with a healthcare provider, with her faith leader.” (Read more from “Confused VP Harris Claims People Don’t Need to ‘Abandon Their Faith’ to Support Abortion” HERE)

Black Rapper Calls Black Lives Matter a ‘Scam’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West took aim at the Black Lives Matter movement Tuesday, just a day after causing a stir by wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt to his Paris fashion show.

The rapper posted a picture on his Instagram story that read “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now its over. You’re welcome.”

Mr. West, 45, was seemingly referring to reports that multiple movement organizers spent millions of dollars in donations on extravagant personal purchases in 2020 rather than on community aid.

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors was the only voting board member in 2020 when the organization raised $90 million, but ended the year with $42 million, according to a report from the New York Times. The newspaper said that the money was spent on consultants, real estate and small organizations.

For example, funds collected by the movement’s administrative arm, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, were used to purchase a $6 million home in Southern California, according to NPR. (Read more from “Black Rapper Calls Black Lives Matter a ‘Scam’” HERE)

Yikes: Democrat Candidate Endorses Abortion up Until Birth While Airing Footage of Her Son Being Born

/0 Comments/in , /by

Childbirth is no short of a miracle that demands celebration and awe. But for Democrat candidate Katie Darling, who is challenging Minority Whip Steve Scalise for Louisiana’s 1st Congressional District, giving birth was a great opportunity to peddle the demise of unborn babies in a campaign advertisement.

The ad starts with footage of the pregnant Darling navigating chores as she longingly awaits the arrival of her newest child. The baby is a boy who Darling says will join his older sister as a helper around the family’s farm.

Mere seconds into the ad, Darling’s seemingly perfect world is suddenly clouded when she remembers that babies in Louisiana have a strong chance at life outside of the womb thanks to the state’s near-total abortion ban.

“These days I worry about storms that are stronger and more frequent because of climate change, about our kids’ underperforming public schools, and about Louisiana’s new abortion ban, one of the strictest and most severe in the country,” Darling says in a voiceover.

California Governor Awards Himself Custody of Children With Gender Dysphoria, Pro-Family Group Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has signed into law a bill making California a sanctuary for children seeking gender transition treatment across state lines.

State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, introduced the “trans refuge bill” (Senate Bill 107) last year, and it cleared the California State Legislature a month ago.

“California’s dangerous and extreme new law is the latest in an onslaught of attacks against parental rights and a demonstration of just how far some governments are willing to go to replace parents as the ultimate decision-makers of what’s best for children,” Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Emilie Kao said Friday in a prepared statement.

Once the law takes effect Jan. 1, California courts may take custody of kids who are seeking gender transition treatment out of state and enroll them in California’s foster care system. . .

“When state leaders think that they have a right to interfere in the business of another state, that’s a serious problem,” Family Research Council senior fellow Meg Kilgannon told The Daily Signal in a phone interview. “But now, they’re asserting a right to interfere in my family life. … They’re stating that they have a right to take custody of my child, who could potentially run away to California.” (Read more from “California Governor Awards Himself Custody of Children With Gender Dysphoria, Pro-Family Group Says” HERE)
