Fresh Takes on ‘Drag Queen Story Hours’
Not “groomers” and shouldn’t be outlawed. But let’s not pretend activists don’t have an agenda for promoting DQSH.

Gays and Lesbian Kids Encouraged to Jump on the Trans Train
The gay to transgender pipeline amongst people under 25 is wild.

Yup. I was one of two in my class’s “LGB”T+ pride club who graduated as just LGB. To my knowledge, only 1 entered the club as a T. It has been wild – so wild I had to write a book discussing it.

Exposing the Fallout of Medically Transitioning Minors
As the evidence of destroyed lives keeps mounting, woke LGBTQ+ activists choose not to see or hear what’s happening, secure in the destructive narrative they continue to promote.
Jamie Reed provides deeply disturbing examples of “how little patients understood what they were getting into,” for example:
Three months later she called the surgeon’s office to say she was going back to her birth name and that her pronouns were “she” and “her.” Heartbreakingly, she told the nurse, “I want my breasts back.” The surgeon’s office contacted our office because they didn’t know what to say to this girl.
My colleague and I said that we would reach out. It took a while to track her down, and when we did we made sure that she was in decent mental health, that she was not actively suicidal, that she was not using substances. The last I heard, she was pregnant. Of course, she’ll never be able to breastfeed her child.
She also writes:
Then I came across comments from Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgender woman who is a high official at the federal Department of Health and Human Services. The article read: “Levine, the U.S. assistant secretary for health, said that clinics are proceeding carefully and that no American children are receiving drugs or hormones for gender dysphoria who shouldn’t.”
I felt stunned and sickened. It wasn’t true. And I know that from deep first-hand experience.
So I started writing down everything I could about my experience at the Transgender Center. Two weeks ago, I brought my concerns and documents to the attention of Missouri’s attorney general. He is a Republican. I am a progressive. But the safety of children should not be a matter for our culture wars.

Many women are Tomboys growing up. This is me at 10/11 in the early ’90s. I wore androgynous/”masculine” clothes until around 23; friends and interests also skewed masculine.

Gender Nonconforming Kids Steered to Puberty Blockers, Surgery
As evolutionary biologist Colin Wrights explains:
>>We should treat children who are different with compassion and acceptance. Transgender ideology does the opposite. When children say they’re transgender, that frequently prompts a visit to a gender clinic where a “gender-affirming” therapist may prescribe puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and even surgery to “fix” this perceived misalignment between “gender identity” (i.e., social roles and stereotypes) and the child’s biological sex.
As an ideological matter alone, this is regressive in the extreme. It repudiates decades of work by women’s-rights activists who rightfully gauged such notions as sexist and oppressive and fought to free nonconformists from social stigma. Subjecting children to body-altering surgery and drugs is a medical scandal of horrifying proportions.<<
21./ What's also become clear is the vast majority of teens referred to gender clinics are gay. It's easy to forget when the Protocol was developed in the 90s homophobia was rife. 'Stranger in My Own Body' treats homosexuality as problematic and related to being trans.👇 pic.twitter.com/aQPh2w2ghm

Castration Cult
Recognition of “male-to-eunuch” as a “gender identity” may be shocking to some — it may even be shocking to some who fervently believe that children have the agency to use chemical castration drugs to stop their own development at puberty https://t.co/Mu35rdu2kH
