Democrats Quietly Reintroduce Pro-Transgender Bill to Eliminate Parental Rights, Shield Groomers

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democrats in Maine have quietly reintroduced into a different committee the same pro-transgender bill that was unanimously defeated once already. The bill would in part prevent parents from being contacted or having any say in the transing of their children by school or medical officials and would serve as a groomer protection measure.

The bill, LD227, is very similar to LD 1735, which was killed in the Judiciary Committee in January.

Republican critics of the bill are blasting the provisions as anti-family and anti-child.

The bill prohibits “interference” between parents and children if a child requests an abortion or wants to undergo “gender-affirming care,” according to Fox News.

If the latest iteration is passed, the law would give sweeping license to the transgendering of children and abortions for minors whether parents agree with the procedures or not. The bill additionally protects any minor who enters the state from outside and would cause Maine law enforcement to prevent parents from being able to influence their children’s medical care if those parents oppose so-called “gender-affirming” care.

Leaked Files From Transgender Medical Org Show ‘Medical Malpractice’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Internal files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which purports to be a medical association that develops “standards” for transgender treatment, show members engaging in fly-by-night, experimental treatments — contradicting the public line that its recommendations are governed by evidence and science.

The research group Environmental Progress analyzed hundreds of pages of internal posts and videos after they were obtained by its founder, journalist Michael Shellenberger.

It concluded that the nominally scientific group was nothing more than an unethical activist group that existed to give cover to doctors who didn’t want to be sued by allowing them to say they were just following experts’ standards.

“’Standard of care’ is a legal term, not a medical term, and represents ‘the benchmark that determines whether professional obligations to patients have been met.’ Failure to meet the standard of care is medical negligence, which can result in significant consequences for healthcare providers,” it said.

The low-barrier gender-transitioning of youth consists of “medical malpractice” that violates the Hippocratic Oath and “causes harm without justification, and its victims are some of society’s most vulnerable people,” the report added.

Doritos Fires Trans Brand Ambassador After Tweet About 12-Year-Old Surfaces

/0 Comments/in , /by

Doritos, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, fired transgender artist Samantha Hudson as a brand ambassador for Spain on Monday after being alerted to a disturbing tweet involving a 12-year-old.

Over the weekend, Doritos Spain announced Hudson as a brand ambassador for its products and included Hudson in a 50-second promo called “Crunch Talks.” Hudson originally gained prominence through a YouTube channel that discussed beauty, travel, and lifestyle tips. On Monday, several X users alerted Doritos to past posts published in 2015 regarding a 12-year-old.

“I want to do thuggish things [to] a 12-year-old girl,” Hudson said in the original post translated from Spanish to English. Hudson, then 15 at the time of the post, said it was meant to be funny.

“In the middle of the street in Mallorca in panties and screaming that I’m a nymphomaniac in front of a super beautiful 8-year-old girl,” Hudson allegedly said in another post, per Newsweek.

In another post, Hudson appeared to mock sexual abuse survivors. “I hate women who are victims of rape and who turn to self-help centers to overcome their trauma. k fat wh****,” the post said. (Read more from “Doritos Fires Trans Brand Ambassador After Tweet About 12-Year-Old Surfaces” HERE)

‘Blood Money’: Two of the Biggest Funders of the Radical Transgender Movement in the U.S. Are China-Linked Billionaires

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pro-Beijing groups financially backed by two China-linked billionaires are pushing the radical transgender movement as a means of advancing a Marxist agenda in the United States, seven-time New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer reveals in his new book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.

In Blood Money, Schweizer, who is a Breitbart News senior contributor and the president of the Government Accountability Institute, reveals China’s multi-pronged, covert attack on America. In Chapter 6, called “Destabilizing Democracy,” Schweizer explores how two billionaires, China-based American Neville Roy Singham and Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai, prop up radical activists groups that use transgenderism as a weapon against the “capitalist order.”

Schweizer first focuses on Singham, who grew up in Jamaica and Detroit, Michigan, and as a young man adopted communist ideological views, joining the League of Revolutionary Black Workers (LRBW). Singham ended up creating a software business named Thoughtworks, while also serving as a “strategic technical consultant” for Huawei, the Chinese military-linked tech company.

Thoughtworks eventually opened an office in Beijing; and in 2010, it held its Software Development Conference in China’s capital city. However, Singham ended up selling the company in 2017, a sale which was a “financial boon” for him and enabled him to dump money into various companies in China, where he now lives, according to Blood Money.

“While enjoying his affluent life and connections in Beijing, Singham has poured more than $100 million into organizations driving the protest movement in the United States,” Schweizer details. “According to the chief scientist at Thoughtworks, Martin Fowler, Singham sold the company so he could fund his ‘activist work’: radical pro–Communist Chinese causes.” (Read more from “‘Blood Money’: Two of the Biggest Funders of the Radical Transgender Movement in the U.S. Are China-Linked Billionaires” HERE)

Meet The Biden Official Making Six Figures To Travel The Globe Pushing Transgenderism

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration has empowered a professional activist to travel the globe on the taxpayer’s dime to push transgenderism and gender ideology.

From Australia to Brazil, South Africa to Sweden, Jessica Stern travels across the world attending so-called Pride events as the State Department’s Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons. Stern, who has boasted that she is the highest ranking lesbian woman, is paid an annual salary of over $180,000 and tasked with promoting far-left views on sex and gender, lobbying foreign governments, and assisting activist organizations.

Appointed by President Biden in September of 2021, Stern’s work has gone largely unnoticed by the media as she bolsters the president’s broader effort to leverage the might of the federal agencies and their bureaucracies in service of a far-left agenda. In Biden’s first weeks as president, he tasked all federal agencies to work to “advance the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons abroad” — Stern has been tip of the spear in that effort, and has stated that this mission is “U.S. foreign policy priority.”

Stern’s travels as Special Envoy have taken her to at least 22 countries on all six of the world’s habitable continents, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Botswana, Canada, Germany, Greece, India, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Nepal, the Netherlands, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, and Vietnam.

“Good foreign policy is inclusive foreign policy, and that means having senior experts on LGBTQI rights,” Stern contended in an interview with the Council on Foreign Relations.

Air Force Academy Highlights Transgender Officer at Leadership Summit

/9 Comments/in , /by

The United States Air Force Academy showcased a transgender-identifying activist and military service member who seeks to embed far-left gender ideology in the armed forces for a speech on leadership and inclusion.

Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram, an engineer with the United States Space Force and activist for transgenderism in the military, spoke at the National Character and Leadership Symposium, the theme of which was “Embrace Culture, Empower People.” The military official states that he is a co-leader of the Department of the Air Force LGBTQ+ Initiatives Team, which he says is “dedicated to eliminating barriers to LGBTQ+ military service in the Air and Space Force.”

Fram was introduced at the Air Force Academy event as “one of the highest-ranking out transgender officers in the United States military” and a “featured speaker on leadership, diversity, and inclusion.” He is also an activist on behalf of transgenderism, previously serving as the president of SPARTA, “a non-profit that advocates and educates about transgender military service.”

“Inclusion takes action, inclusion requires asking, inclusion requires understanding, and it is more work, it is a lot more work for a leader but I need you to be willing to do it,” Fram said to the crowd while wearing a patch on his uniform bearing a rainbow flag. “In the future, we are going to fight and win war with brain power, and if those brains happen to be in a trans body … you should want them serving alongside you. Because they might be the ones that revolutionize the way we fight in space, in cyber or in any other domain of war.” (Read more from “Air Force Academy Highlights Transgender Officer at Leadership Summit” HERE)

All Hell Breaks Loose When Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears Refers to a Transgender State Senator as “Sir”

/8 Comments/in , , /by

We’re navigating through some truly bizarre and dangerous times. It’s an era where truth is the enemy, and there’s an overwhelming pressure to conform to left-wing narratives that are totally disconnected from reality, especially when it comes to the transgender movement. It’s now expected that average, everyday Americans will indulge the whims of mentally ill folks, and play along with their “dress-up games” by pretending that lipgloss, high heels, and mascara can magically transform a full-grown male adult into a legitimate woman. And if you refuse to play along with this diseased agenda, you’re the “bad guy,” and the crazy mob will demand your head on a spike. What we’re dealing with right now is the purest case of indulging mental illness that you’ll ever come across. Americans are being dragged into a dark and seedy fetish world, used as pawns to validate the left’s sickness and normalize perverted behavior and freakish lifestyles.

But the moment you don’t go along with this madness, things get heated. Just ask Lt. Governor Winsome Sears, who found this out the hard way during a state session. She correctly referred to a cross-dressing senator as “sir,” instead of “ma’am,” and the wheels quickly fell off the wagon. . .

Here’s what folks online are saying about this incident:

“About damn time someone quit playing this mentally ill game of theirs!!!”

“Lol. She storms off like linebacker! So feminine. ”

“He can dress and act like whoever he wants. We don’t have to agree to play his game.”

“Reality is reality. Men are men, women are women, we’re done parsing words and engaging in relativistic nonsense exercises. Thank you for holding the line, Lt Gov. Sears.”

Landmark Study Challenges Leftist Assumptions About Gender-Transition Treatment for Youth

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a groundbreaking development, a significant study conducted in Finland is reshaping the narrative surrounding gender-transition treatment for young individuals, challenging widely held beliefs about the supposed life-saving nature of such interventions. The movement advocating for pediatric gender-transition treatments asserts that these medical interventions are not only “medically necessary” but also crucial for saving lives. However, until now, there has been a notable absence of research examining the validity of this claim.

The newly released Finnish study delves into the impact of providing cross-sex hormones and gender-transition surgeries to adolescents and young adults, specifically examining their association with suicide deaths. Contrary to popular assumptions, the study found that these interventions did not appear to have a significant effect on reducing suicide deaths.

Unsurprisingly, the study revealed that gender distress, severe enough to prompt young individuals to seek assistance from gender clinics, was not independently linked to a higher suicide death rate. Instead, the research identified a higher likelihood of suicide in young adults with a substantial number of appointments with mental health specialists, indicating severe mental health challenges.

The study’s conclusions challenge the prevailing notion that the higher suicide rate among gender-distressed youth is primarily linked to their gender identity. Instead, the researchers assert that the elevated suicide rate is more closely tied to the presence of severe psychiatric problems. Consequently, the study advocates for a shift in focus towards comprehensive mental health care for these individuals rather than controversial medical interventions.

The findings of this study directly address a contentious debate within the discourse on transgender youth: whether the high rate of mental health problems among trans-identified youths is a consequence of societal judgment or a coping mechanism for mental health issues unrelated to gender identity.

Notably, the study’s results have sparked conversations within the medical community, challenging the assertions made by prominent supporters of gender-transition treatments for young individuals. Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, the leader of the study and a top adolescent psychiatrist at Finland’s Tampere University Hospital, criticized the ethical implications of presenting a choice between “a living son or dead daughter” to parents, as many trans-advocating doctors do.

Sick Bill Changes Definition of ‘Abused Child’ to Include Kids Whose Parents Object to Abortion, Transgender Hormones and Surgeries

/3 Comments/in , /by

A recently-introduced bill in the state of Illinois would change the definition of “abused child” to include minors whose parents object to their children receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, transgender surgeries, and abortions.

House Bill 4876, which was introduced in early February, also shields doctors from liability if they prescribe such treatments to minors who do not have parental consent — and empowers the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to step in and, if they deem it necessary, remove children from their biological parents based on the new definition of an “abused child.”

According to the legislation, which imbues minors with the same legal status as adults with regard to consenting to medical treatments and procedures related to abortion and gender transition, “consent to the performance of abortion services and gender-affirming services executed by a minor is not voidable because of such minority.” (Read more from “Sick Bill Changes Definition of ‘Abused Child’ to Include Kids Whose Parents Object to Abortion, Transgender Hormones and Surgeries” HERE)

Video: Cathedral Hosts Funeral for Atheist Transgender Activist

/4 Comments/in , /by

A huge funeral was held Thursday inside Manhattan’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral for transgender activist and atheist Cecilia Gentili of Brooklyn, who died February 6.

Gentili was 52 when he died of unknown causes at home, the Daily Mail reported Friday, noting that about 1,000 friends and fans of Gentili filled the church pews during the service.

The outlet described the scene:

A picture near the altar showed a haloed Ms. Gentili surrounded by the Spanish words for ‘transvestite,’ ‘whore,’ ‘blessed’ and ‘mother’ above the text of Psalm 25.

A mourner upstaged the priest at one point by singing ‘Ave Maria’ – but changing the lyrics to ‘Ave Cecilia’ before dancing through the aisles.

Even though Gentili said he was an atheist, funeral organizer Ceyenne Doroshow planned for the service to be held at the large church. (Read more from “Video: Cathedral Hosts Funeral for Atheist Transgender Activist” HERE)
