J.K. Rowling should take a bow. She has been a tireless, vocal defender of women and kids against the tidal wave of transgender insanity. We've written about her a lot, because she's always so awesome. And while the woke Left and trans activists screamed at her, threatened her, and harassed her, she held her head high and kept speaking truth to power. So now that she's not-too-subtly taking a victory lap in the wake of the Cass Report, we are applauding her. ‘In years to come we will look back at the damage done to children with incredulity and horror.’...

The world is waking up to the horror that is 'gender-affirming care.' Of course, that term is one of the biggest lies ever told, but it becomes even more horrific when it is applied to children. This weekend, the French Senate joined the growing number of nations trying to ban the barbaric practice of sterilizing and mutilating children before they're even CLOSE to an age where they are capable of informed consent. To date, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Holland, and the UK have either banned or placed severe restrictions on trans surgeries and hormones for minors, along with 22 states in...

In a significant blow to patient autonomy, informed consent has been quietly revoked just 77 years after it was codified in the Nuremberg Code. On the 21st of December 2023, as we were frantically preparing for the festive season, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final ruling to amend a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act. This allowed …an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than a minimal risk to the human subject…This ruling went into effect on January...

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about WPATH, and it's damning report on 'gender-affirming care' that was very, very alarming. Now a WPATH 'certified clinician', Laura Jacobs, is calling for a change to 'penis and vagina norms' with 'custom genitals'. Watch: “Do we have to stick to penis & vagina norms? Can we have genitalia that looks like flowers or abstract sculpture? Can we have multiple? Can they be interchangeable?” -WPATH certified clinician Laura Jacobs, LCSW- WPATH SOC revision committee. pic.twitter.com/f4qzSgCeTT — Genspect (@genspect) March 21, 2024 Wow. Genitalia that looks like flowers and is interchangeable?! Are we...

One of the most grotesque and horrific lies that comes along with the gender ideology cult is one that doctors tell to parents of so-called trans kids. We've all heard it and it is sickening: 'Would you rather have a live son or a dead daughter?' The doctors advocating sterilizing hormones and mutilating surgeries for CHILDREN actually have used the threat of suicide to convince parents to go along with the insanity. These are physicians -- people who are supposed to be HELPING their patients (as we're pretty sure they swore an oath to that effect). Of course, the doctors...

Allowing babies to be experimented on with male lactation and putting them at a disadvantage at the beginning of their lives is an injustice.In the name of “equality,” the University of Sussex Hospitals National Health Service (NHS) Trust has stated that pharmacologically induced breast milk produced by men is comparable to milk produced by females. The NHS trust further stated that there are no side effects for infants who are fed through this “breast milk.” However, on top of the hormones taken by males seeking to be “transgender,” these infants are indeed being exposed to side effects through this chemical...

Former daytime TV powerhouse Dr. Phil McGraw took aim at the American medical establishment on Tuesday, blasting doctors for the harm they are committing by pushing so-called “gender-affirming ca Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, the TV doc criticized medical professionals and hospitals pushing transgendering on kids, especially in light of the complete lack of information on what could be the long-term harm it could do. McGraw kicked off his comments on transgendering by noting that the U.S. medical establishment is violating medical ethics by pushing “gender-affirming care.” “It’s interesting they choose words like ‘gender-affirming care.’ You know, that’s interesting...

This weekend, a terrible study out of China back in 2018 gained some visibility on X when it was tweeted out by REDUXX and a few other accounts. There is no way to gild the lily on this one: this 'study' is absolutely horrific. The study related to research into developing 'neophalluses' for people wanting to change their sex and, we do have to warn you here, we are going to share some of the details. They could make you physically ill. We will refrain from sharing any photos; the descriptions alone are revolting enough. (We saw the photos; we...

Since mutilating and disfiguring the genitals of minors, chopping off children’s healthy body parts in Mengele-type experimental surgeries, and injecting human beings with synthetic cross-sex hormones to affirm a debilitating mental delusion apparently weren’t enough to compel the left to drop the “gender”-bending madness, I doubt the findings of a new study from Denmark will be either—although they should. According to a new article out at Slay News by David Lindfield:The risk of heart disease is soaring among the growing number of transgenders being prescribed life-altering hormone drugs.…A new study published in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Endocrinology revealed that...

Search... Consequences: Detransition Lawsuits Threaten 'Booming' Gender-Transition Business Amy Cur Twitchy has covered the Left's ongoing battle to 'transition' children who, according to Rachel Levine might be 'going through the wrong puberty' or otherwise 'identify' as a different gender. Many, many voices have warned that transition is not as reversible (link) or inconsequential as the Left claims (link), and not something we should be doing to minors (places like the UK's NHS have also made some changes to transitioning of kids). And now, the lawsuits begin. People who are detransitioning are suing the providers who transitioned them in the first...

Luka Hein, who is now 21 years old, is suing the doctors who allegedly rushed her into transgender surgery at the age of 16, removing both her breasts. Hein spoke with the Daily Mail, telling the outlet the surgery has left her with daily pain. They also pumped her full of hormone treatments that could possibly rob her of being a mother one day. During her teens, Hein’s parents went through a bitter divorce. A series of events after that led to doctors convincing her parents that if they didn’t push her to become transgender she would commit suicide. The...

The California attorney general is launching an assault on parents and families with a new lawsuit asserting state control over children.The California attorney general is launching an all-out assault on parents and families with a new lawsuit asserting state control over schoolchildren.On Monday, state Attorney General Rob Bonta sued to stop a new policy in a southern California school district that requires schools to notify parents whenever a child identifies as transgender and begins to pursue a so-called gender transition. The new guidelines adopted by the Chino Valley Unified School District in July would have required schools to tell parents...

One of California’s largest school districts reportedly offered financial rewards to teachers who attended a webinar with advocates who encourage children with gender dysphoria to receive cross-sex hormones or undergo body-altering surgeries. The Los Angeles Unified School District invited teachers to attend a webinar last week titled “The Wellbeing of Sexual and Gender Diverse Girls” in exchange for three Continuing Education credits and hours to use towards salary points, The Daily Wire reported. The Los Angeles Unified School District did not immediately respond to The Christian Post’s request for comment. The webinar featured Aydin Olson-Kennedy, a female licensed clinical social...

Buckle up, campers, because things are going to get even weirder this evening, courtesy (once again) of the folks at the American Medical Association. According to a recent report published in The Daily Mail, a representative of the AMA has suggested in the June issue of its Journal of Ethics that taxpayers could be put on the hook for a $300,000 surgery to transplant a uterus into a male patient to “subsidize” the cost of the very expensive and totally experimental surgery. And why would anyone need to do this? Two reasons. First, it could alleviate ‘psychological dissonance’ in the...

The medical establishment has gone totally around the woke bend. Now, a peer-reviewed advocacy article in the AMA Journal of Ethics argues that the cost of uterus transplants for trans people should often be subsidized, particularly for “transwomen who want to gestate children.” From, “Should Uterus Transplantation for Transwomen and Transmen be Subsidized?” (My emphasis): Even though there has been no uterus transplant to date in transwomen [males] that we know of, some clinicians have maintained that there are no absolute barriers in anatomy, hormones, and obstetric considerations that would rule out the possibility of successful UTx [uterine transplant] in...

The American Medical Association (AMA) recently suggested that taxpayers fund uterus transplants for transgender women as an attempt to force pregnancy and as a way to help them feel like real, biological women who can give birth. In its Journal of Ethics issue, titled “Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care,” suggestions were offered in order to reduce the cost of the surgery. “Even though there has been no uterus transplant to date in transwomen that we know of, some clinicians have maintained that there are no absolute barriers in anatomy, hormones, and obstetric considerations that would rule out the possibility of successful...

The American Medical Association (AMA) has suggested that taxpayers should subsidize uterus transplants worth up to $300,000 to help transgender women get pregnant. Arguments were made to reduce the cost of the surgery in its Journal of Ethics issue in June titled Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care. But the AMA has been criticized for floating the idea and has been accused of holding an 'activist position'. It argued that trans women's inability to bear children may cause them to experience 'psychological dissonance' which undermines their health and well-being. The AMA says trans women who want to give birth can 'plausibly justify'...

One of the first studies into the side effects of transgender surgeries has revealed alarmingly high rates of post-op pain, aching during intercourse, and bladder problems, raising troubling questions for this new frontier of medicine. A huge majority - 81 percent - of those who had surgery on their genitals in the past five years said they endured pain simply from moving around in the weeks and months after going under the knife. Researchers from the University of Florida and Brooks Rehabilitation, a health non-profit, showed that more than half of trans surgery patients endured pain during sex, and nearly...

I love Chicago’s John Kass. Today his blog post was on something I and my friends here (especially David) have hit time and time again because we are so passionately terrified for today’s children. But there was a moment in it that was such a revelation, I wanted to share it with you all. An aspect of the gender affirming madness that I hadn’t considered before. His column appeared at almost the same time as this horrific story on Fox, and it was as if it was meant to be. A young male, who formerly identified as a transwoman, who...

The tragedy of sexual-reassignment surgery has a terrifying history.The popularization of medically sanctioned sexual mutilation began with well-known sexual perversion advocate, Alfred Kinsey.Kinsey contended that people are “sexual from birth” and experimented on babies in the 1940s and 50s. His legacy stands largely unchallenged today by the American Medical Association, despite his advocacy of bestiality, pedophilia, sadomasochism, and incest. His experiments largely led to the so-called Sexual Revolution.
