More on the response to the campaign against the New York Times by GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and others for (1) reporting on the medical transitioning of minors and including the critical views of doctors and detransitioners, and (2) running an op-ed defending J.K. Rowling for casting a critical eye on requiring that transmen, including men who simply present as women, be granted access to women-only spaces.

Protect Gender-Nonconforming Gay Kids from Medicalized Conversion Therapy
It still amazes, though probably it shouldn’t, how woke-progressive LGBTQ+ advocates have embraced medicalized conversion therapy for gay and lesbian kids who are gender nonconforming — and how they think their support for these procedures makes them morally superior, instead of morally monstrous.

More from this mom on YouTube, here: “I Transitioned My Child – I Regret It“.
The simple answer is that they redefined divergence from gendered stereotypes as transgender identity — there is no answer to the question “what and who is trans?” that does not resolve to this proposition https://t.co/TyOYa5xE4l pic.twitter.com/YWvd0gBkWh

Not just in the US.
When gay activists in other countries push for things like marriage, they now get shown vids of drag queens sexualizing children

UK Was Right to Block Gender Bill
2./ You can savour the full Dr Strangelove vibe here. Harvie thinks Gender Self ID (which erases women’s single sex spaces, undermines gay rights and endangers the mental health of children) is just the start. He wants to go further. You bet he does….

Saying that predators will take advantage of a bill meant to help trans people is *not* the same as saying trans people are predators.

Why is this simple point impossible for some people to understand? At this point it has to be intentional.

Liberating ‘Gay’ from LGBTQ+
Yes, another compilation post on the single most important issue facing gays and lesbians today, especially with regard to protecting gay youth. Pointing this out drives LGBTQ+ wokists apoplectic.

Standing up for women’s sex-based rights has been rebranded as transphobia.
So Rowling’s perfectly normal views, likely shared by most people out there, can be talked about as hate crimes’

Along with safeguarding the rights of women, another vital reason to separate LGB and trans rights is saving gay kids from being pushed onto the trans train:

‘Dragphobia’
GLAAD warns about the dangers of “dragphobia.”
Dragphobia is on the Rise: “There is clear and present danger against our community and threats… we really haven’t seen it at this level in over a decade, if ever.” @sarahkateellis @TheTakeawayhttps://t.co/TrJwmTZvrg

Maybe bringing young kids to exhibitionistic performances is part of the reason. And, yes, I realize the anti-gay right is making good use of this and there may be “pronoun issues” in their responses (although debatable, as these are drag performers not transwomen, and there’s a difference). But they didn’t fake these photos and videos or the even more explicit ones from “family friendly performances” that can be seen on social media.

Progressives’ Exclusionary Spin on Respect for Marriage Act
A chance to celebrate bipartisanship on marriage equality is ignored by hyper-partisan Biden.
Added: Biden’s White House party and the way it was staged is giving the anti-gay right (including at the Heritage Foundation, among others) evidence that they were correct in opposing the bill. That’s unfortunate, given that the legislation is both “good for gays” and good for those who hold traditional religious views on marriage.
And worth repeating:
Behind the success of the Respect for Marriage Act, which mandated federal recognition for same-sex marriages, was a group of influential Republican donors and operatives, including some of the party’s most prominent gay leaders. https://t.co/dk0voTSn22

What Might Be Learned from the Sam Brinton Saga
Also, Wayne Besen exmaines whether Brinton’s conversion-therapy-torture claims were “contrived or embellished to manipulate high-profile leaders and elevate themself into the upper echelons of LGBTQ+ activism.”

Blocking Sexual Development In Gender-Nonconforming Kids
Puberty blockers stop sexual development, which after enough time won’t resume when blockers are stopped. When adults make the decision to transition, doctors have full packages to work with. But when sexual development is stopped before puberty, that’s not the case and the ability to have sexual activity leading to orgasm is likely to be gone or extremely diminished. That’s an inconvenient truth at odds with woke gender theory and the lucrative business of transing the kids.
This has become a human rights crisis.

Common-sense comments below are sure to make the LGBTQ+ woke kool-aid drinkers apoplectic. Heresy of the highest order against the new progressive faith that must never be challenged!

How is a “gender affirming” double mastectomy considered life-saving or medically necessary?
How did we get here?
Gender dysphoria remains the only mental health condition I’m aware of, in which the proposed treatment is to affirm the distressing thoughts inside one’s head and physically modify one’s body.
