Federal Government to Spend $700K on Trans-Inclusive Sex Ed for Children

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is awarding nearly $700,000 taxpayer dollars to back pregnancy prevention programs for young girls who identify as boys, warning that “heteronormative” sexual education is inadequate.

The $698,736 grant, which began in September 2023 and will continue until June 2027, according to government disclosures, will be allocated to the Center for Innovative Public Health Research, a non-profit that seeks to create “an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys.”

“Youth who are assigned female at birth … are at risk for negative sexual health outcomes yet are effectively excluded from sexual health programs because gender-diverse youth do not experience the cisgender, heteronormative teen sexual education messaging available to them as salient or applicable,” the award description claims.

“Data suggest that AFAB [assigned female at birth] trans-identified youth may be less likely to use condoms when having sex with people who have penises and are at least as likely as cisgender girls to be pregnant,” it goes on to say before adding that the “health inequity must be addressed.”

The Center for Innovative Public Health Research aims to provide sex education via a program called “Girl2Girl,” which the organization describes as “a text messaging based-sexual health program designed for cisgender sexual minority girls 14-18 years of age.” (Read more from “Federal Government to Spend $700K on Trans-Inclusive Sex Ed for Children” HERE)

State to Cover Sex Changes for Illegal Aliens

The Golden State is expanding its massive health care system this year, which means more taxpayer dollars will fund sex change surgeries for state residents, regardless of their citizenship status.

According to a memo first circulated in May 2022 and reported by the Daily Caller Foundation, California’s Medi-Cal covers costs for hormone therapy and procedures “that bring primary and secondary gender characteristics into conformity with the individual’s identified gender, including ancillary services, such as hair removal, incident to those services.”

Nearly 700,000 illegal immigrants between the ages of 26 and 49 qualify, as of Jan. 1, for these federal health care services, which will cost California taxpayers an estimated $3.1 billion. For those living in California illegally within this age range, it translates to approximately $4,058 per year in medical coverage subsidies funded by the state’s general fund.

“Gender affirming care is a covered Medi-Cal benefit when medically necessary,” the memo states. “Requests for gender affirming care should be from specialists experienced in providing culturally competent care to transgender and gender diverse individuals and should use nationally recognized guidelines.” (Read more from “State to Cover Sex Changes for Illegal Aliens” HERE)

Top Children’s Hospital Coaches Doctors to Avoid Parents Wary of Trans Treatments

A top children’s hospital in Ohio is training doctors how to manipulate parents who are wary of allowing their child to undergo permanent sex-change procedures.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, which ‌hosted DeWine onsite ahead of his veto and testified against the ban in the legislature, claimed that parental involvement in a child’s choice to change their gender permanently is a priority. However, insider sources say differently.

The hospital’s Transgender Health Center has misrepresented its approach to parental involvement by teaching doctors how to handle skeptical parents with training sessions.

The hospital’s director, Dr. Lee Ann Conard, suggests several ways to progress a child’s decision towards “gender-affirmation” without parental support. In the training video, she recommends putting children in therapy without informing the parents. Conrad even supports the idea of stopping a young girl’s period.

“Some kids aren’t ready to tell the parents, and we shouldn’t out them,” Conard said. “If the kid doesn’t wanna talk to the parent … are there things we can do medically to help? We can refer a ‌child for therapy without the parent knowing that the ‌kid told us they’re transgender. If they’re having significant anxiety and depression, the other thing is menstrual suppression.” (Read more from “Top Children’s Hospital Coaches Doctors to Avoid Parents Wary of Trans Treatments” HERE)

‘Harry Potter’ Profits Soaring Despite Attempts To Cancel J.K. Rowling Over Trans Stance

“Harry Potter” book profits continued to soar in 2023 despite numerous attempts to cancel the famed author of the book series J.K. Rowling for her support of biological women over trans-indentifying males.

In 2023, Pottermore publishing — a global digital audiobook and eBook publisher of “Harry Potter” books and affiliated Wizarding World titles — experienced a surge in sales, going from approximately $7 million U.S. dollars to more than $11.9 million over the last fiscal year, GB News reported.

Pottermore’s Managing Director released a statement about the increase in revenue and said, “We continue to look for ways to grow partnerships, build our language catalog and reach new audiences with creative and promotional initiatives such as the annual Starting Harry Potter campaign for new readers.”

Rowling — who has faced numerous attacks from leftist activists for her support of biological women — is very outspoken on social media and doesn’t back down when threatened by trans activists.

Critics Slam WHO’s ‘Biased’ and ‘Rushed’ Approach to Transgender Guidelines

The World Health Organization (WHO) is facing criticism from a group of gender ideology critics who have launched a petition against the organization’s ongoing process to develop transgender health guidelines. The petition, titled “WHO Decides?”, expresses strong objections to what the signers perceive as a “highly biased” panel responsible for formulating the guidelines.

On December 18, the WHO announced plans to develop new transgender guidelines, focusing on advising “health sector interventions” to enhance “respectful health services” for trans-identifying and gender-diverse individuals. The guidelines will cover areas such as gender-affirming care, health policies supporting gender-inclusive care, healthcare for trans-identifying individuals who have experienced interpersonal violence, and legal recognition of self-determined gender identity.

The petition raises concerns about the composition of the WHO panel, claiming that more than three-fourths of its 21 members are transgender activists, with few physicians specialized in HIV or gender-related issues. Notably, the panel lacks representation from child development experts or detransitioners—individuals who transitioned but later regretted their decision.

The petitioners argue against what they perceive as a lack of diverse perspectives on the panel, especially given the global surge in teenagers expressing a desire for sex changes. They claim that most panel members have expressed strong views in favor of hormonal and surgical interventions, downplaying associated risks and dismissing psychotherapeutic approaches as ‘conversion therapy.’

The petition calls on the WHO to cancel its first meeting scheduled for February 19 and to revisit the formulation process. The current panel is set to present its recommendations at the WHO’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Critics highlight concerns about the rushed timeline, emphasizing the limited three-week public comment period that coincided with the Christmas and New Year holiday season, when many people were not actively engaged. The petition, supported by over 3,600 signatures, includes a diverse range of professionals, including pediatricians, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, parents of trans-identifying children, teachers, counselors, nurses, and professors.

USA Boxing Allows Men to Fight Women With New Transgender Guidelines

USA Boxing on Friday officially adopted a new transgender policy, which will permit males who identify as female to compete against females if they meet certain qualifications.

The new policy was first proposed in August 2022, as highlighted by National Review, and outlines that male athletes, in addition to claiming to be female, must complete “gender reassignment surgery” and test their testosterone levels for four years following such procedures.

“The athlete must demonstrate that her total testosterone level in serum has been below 5 nmol/L (nanomoles per liter of blood) for at least 48 months prior to her first competition,” the policy says, adding that requirement “for any longer period to be based on a confidential case-by-case evaluation, considering whether or not 48 months is a sufficient length of time to minimize any advantage in women’s competition.”

“The athlete’s total testosterone level in serum must remain below 5 nmol/L throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category,” one requirement reads.

Notably, the guidance notes that the “normal range of testosterone for males is defined as more than 10 nanomoles per litre (10 namol/L) and normal range of testosterone for females is less than 3.1 nanomoles per litre (3.1 namol/L).” (Read more from “USA Boxing Allows Men to Fight Women With New Transgender Guidelines” HERE)

GOP Governor Vetoes Bans On Gender Procedures For Minors, Biological Boys Competing In Girls Sports

Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) vetoed legislation Friday that would have banned gender procedures for minors and prevented boys who identify as girls from competing in girls’ sports.

Ohio House Bill 68, which was passed by the Republican-controlled Ohio General Assembly, was made up of two acts: the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act” and the “Save Women’s Sports Act.” The bill would ban transgender procedures on minors, such as double mastectomies on girls who identify as boys, and other genital procedures for children with gender dysphoria. It would also also prohibit biological boys from competing in girls’ sports across the state.

HB 68 passed mostly along party lines on December 13, with the Ohio House voting 62-27 and the Ohio Senate voting 24-8 to approve the legislation, but after issuing his veto on Friday, DeWine said he was concerned about the legal implications of signing HB 68 into law.

“I truly believe that we can address a number of goals in House Bill 68 by administrative rules that will have likely a better chance of surviving judicial review and being adopted,” DeWine said at a press conference, ABC News reported.

SICK: Dozens of Children Under 5 Have Been Referred to the Controversial NHS Transgender Clinic

More than 70 children aged three and four have been sent to the controversial NHS transgender clinic, it can be revealed.

The pre-schoolers were among 382 youngsters aged six and under referred to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) over the past decade, official figures show.

Campaigners say they never should have been put forward by doctors or parents for psychological assessment at such a young age. . .

It comes ahead of a long-awaited final report by consultant paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, which is expected to make further far-reaching recommendations about transgender services for young people after her interim study led to GIDS being ordered to shut down.

The Government is also trying to stop the spread of contentious gender identity ideology in schools, with equalities minister Kemi Badenoch declaring that teaching children they can be born in the wrong body is harmful.

Delta Airlines Employee Goes Viral For Standing Up To ‘Trans Activist’ At Airport (VIDEO)

A man who appears to be a Delta Airlines employee went viral this week on social media after he stood up to an alleged transgender activist who was upset that the man did not use his preferred pronouns.

It appears that the video was taken late last week potentially at New York-LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) given that “LGA” appears on the employee’s jacket.

The purported transgender individual in the video, who appears to be the person holding the camera, complains that he was “misgendered” because the airline employee called him a “he.” . . .

“You’re being condescending and if you want to continue, I have full authority to escort you out the building right this moment if you want to play that game with me,” the employee fired back. “Would you like to continue three days before Christmas? I really don’t mind.”

Trans Collegiate Sprinter Switches to Women’s Team, Breaks Record

A transgender sprinter, who formerly competed against males in high school, is now competing on his college’s women’s track and field team, and earlier this month set a school record.

Sadie Schreiner, who formerly went by Camden Schreiner, is permitted to compete with and against female track and field athletes at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), despite being a male. Schreiner identifies as transgender.

Notably, Schreiner is now only referred to as “Sadie Rose” on RIT’s athletics website.

“New school record‼️,” RIT celebrated Schreiner on its track and field Instagram page last week. “Sophomore Sadie Schreiner set a new record in the 300m dash last Friday at Nazareth, clocking in a time of 41.80s.” . . .

Rochester radio host Bob Lonsberry said Schreiner would have landed in 41st place if he were still competing against males.
