Oklahoma Children's Hospital Ends Mutilation of 'Transgender' Kids After State Threatens to Pull Millions

by Leave a Comment

Regardless of one’s views on transgenderism, the notion of a children’s hospital irreversibly mutilating the bodies of young children is abhorrent child abuse at its worst and should be subject to criminal bans and criminal prosecution — as should all instances of so-called “transgender surgery” on children.

Short of being criminally charged but a step in the right direction, an Oklahoma pediatric hospital will stop offering some gender-related medical services after the state threatened to pull millions of dollars in funding. Oklahoma Children’s Hospital announced Tuesday it is planning to halt “certain gender medicine services” in order to keep funding for its new pediatric mental health facility.

As reported by the Washington Post, the Republican-controlled state legislature, which returned for a special session on Wednesday to appropriate $1.87 billion in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds, threatened to withhold $39.4 million in Rescue Plan from the children’s hospital unless it stops providing “gender-altering” surgeries. OU Health, the University of Oklahoma’s health system, announced the change in a statement. OU Health. Oklahoma Children’s Hospital is part of OU Health, the University of Oklahoma’s health system.

The Legislature restricted the use of the funds from benefitting facilities performing certain gender medicine services. The new mental and behavioral health facility was never intended to provide such care.

The OU Health Senior Leadership team is proactively planning the ceasing of certain gender medicine services across our facilities and that plan is already under development.

“Already under development”? What’s to develop? According to its website, Oklahoma Children’s Hospital currently offers a variety of different “gender services,” including “pausing puberty,” “managing gender-affirming hormone therapy,” and “helping find surgeons who perform gender-affirming surgeries.” Here’s your “development”: Full-stop on mutilating boys who think their girls, or vice versa, and wait until they next decide they want to become astronauts or fairy princesses.

State Republican Rep. Randy Randleman emphasized that behavioral health is the party’s priority.

It’s not cutting anybody out for services. It’s saying we have such a need for behavior problems and families being dysfunctional that we want this individual money to be focused on that to get us back to where we should be.

Obviously, Randleman is “transphobic.” [sarc]

Republican lawmaker, Rep. Kevin West, who represents Oklahoma City, echoed Randleman’s comments while fiercely defending the GOP legislation:

I’m thankful for language in this bill that protects children from the practice of mutilation through gender reassignment medical treatment. This unbelievably harmful practice cannot be reversed, and has lasting physical and psychological consequences that can damage these children for the rest of their lives.

“Shockingly,” the American Civil Liberties Union disagrees, as transcribed by Daily Wire. Cindy Nguyen, policy director at ACLU of Oklahoma said: “Legislatures seem to believe that the health care and mental health of trans and 2SLGBTQ-plus youth is essentially a bargaining chip they can use.”

How twisted. And, what’s with the “2S” thing at the beginning of the ever-lengthening acronym? Never mind; I don’t want to know. What I do enjoy knowing is the Republican-controlled Oklahoma Legislature’s issuance of a “cease and desist order” of sorts against the heinous practice of child mutilation.

Let’s hope and pray it continues across America.

K-12 Teachers Wear QR Codes Promoting Sex Work, Sex Secrets, and the Abortion of 'Pregnancy Tissue'

by Leave a Comment

When you were growing up, did your school district support sex work? Some current kids will one day be able to answer that question affirmatively.

In case you’re unfamiliar, the National Education Association promotes a program called “I’m Here.”

From Nea-LGBTQC.org:

The NEA-LGBTQ+ Caucus, in order to eliminate institutional discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia, monitors and participates in the development of NEA policies and activities, provides resources and fosters better communication among educators, students, and communities.

The Caucus invites educators to join and subsequently sport their “I’m Here” badges:

All memberships receive a badge as part of their membership packet. By wearing [it], you tell everyone that you are a safe person with whom to discuss LGBTQ+ issues.

Per modern sensibilities, disagreement is dangerous and “safe” is supportive:

Affirming LGBTQ+ youth couldn’t be easier than by identifying yourself as a safe and supportive person.

The badge declares, “Safe Person, Safe Space” and invites people to scan its displayed QR code “to learn more.” It’s being worn by participating K-12 teachers in Ohio’s Hilliard City School District, and parents aren’t happy with what’s on offer to be learned.

Peeved parent Lisa Chafee explained to Columbus’s ABC 6:

“[The QR code] takes you to a website that has extremely inappropriate information. And as a parent, that crosses the line.”

WSYX reached out to the district; no one would show their face:

The district says the intent of the badge is a message of safety and inclusion for all students. … Nobody from the district would answer our questions on camera, but the superintendent sent us a statement reading, in part, “Teachers were reminded that the resources linked to the QR code were for adult learning only. Teachers were reminded that, if asked about the ‘I’m Here’ message on the badge, their response should be age appropriate.”

Then why are teachers wearing the badges while instructing children?

Concerning the connected content, The Washington Free Beacon has more:

One link from the online [LGBTQ+ resource guide] encourages children to seek…resources without their parents’ approval.

“LGBTQIA+ students should be respected, affirmed, and protected in…schools, even if they do not have the full support of their parents or guardians,” says “Free to Be Me: A Toolkit to Protect LGBTQIA+ Students’ Rights.”

And advice is on hand for those with a penchant for prostitution:

Another link in the guide takes students to a post called “Organize Like a Sex Worker: Learning from Worker and Organizer Kate Adamo.” The post says recognizing that “sex work is work” is “critical to ensuring the reproductive and sexual liberation of everyone.” Kate Adamo, the “sex worker” interviewed in the post, compared “transphobia or homophobia (to) being anti-abortion, or anti-sex work” to eugenics.

Sex workers “face stigma, judgment, and pushback from both the Christian right, and sex work exclusionary feminists (SWERFs) on the Left,” Adamo said.

Another linked element is titled “Sex Acts That Don’t Get Enough Play.”

Additionally, there’s talk of doctors and their assignments:

The resource guide also provides a handbook to help minors understand their gender identities, which says “sex assignment does not take into account one’s true gender identity.”

“Your true gender may be different than the gender that a doctor assigned you, which is perfectly normal, valid, and wonderful,” the handbook reads.

It’s surprising how quickly education has been replaced — or, how suddenly the term has been redefined. Not long ago, school was a place to learn the three R’s. It seems we’re headed toward three X’s.

Parent Lisa misses outdated America:

“Our message is simple: Focus on academics. Our kids need to be prepared that, when they graduate, they’re able to compete on the world stage.”

And she questions why wearing a Gay-Lesbian-Trans badge should distinguish the safe from the unsafe:

“I think every teacher should be safe to go to discuss any issue a student might have. They should not have to identify themselves as ‘safe.’”

It’s truly a new day in American academia. And if all the NEA’s sex advice goes wrong, the Free Beacon notes one more subject covered by the Safe Space badges:

[An investigation] found that the QR code takes students to resources that describe abortion as the removal of “pregnancy tissue.”

Transgender Guidance Agency Endorses Castration, Promotes 'Eunuchs'

by Leave a Comment

Gender identity is all the rage, and a new one’s in store. Curiously, it’s also an old one.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health is considered the gold standard for recommendations regarding gender-identity surgery and drugs. And in its newly-released Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People, Version 8, WPATH brings back a biblical body.

As noted by the ninth chapter, one streamlined sexual sort is shamefully stuck in the shadows:

Chapter 9 Eunuchs

Among the many people who benefit from gender-affirming medical care, those who identify as eunuchs are among the least visible. The eighth version of the Standards of Care (SOC) includes a discussion of eunuch individuals because of their unique presentation and their need for medically necessary gender-affirming care.

It’s a lifestyle choice:

Eunuch individuals are those assigned male at birth (AMAB) and wish to eliminate masculine physical features, masculine genitals, or genital functioning. They also include those whose testicles have been surgically removed or rendered nonfunctional by chemical or physical means and who identify as eunuch.

Illinois-based WPATH endorses castration:

As with other gender diverse individuals, eunuchs may also seek castration to better align their bodies with their gender identity. As such, eunuch individuals are gender nonconforming individuals who have needs requiring medically necessary gender-affirming care.

The Association observes that eunuchs have a 4,000-year history yet face the same “social stigma that affects all gender and sexual minorities.”

Many never “come out”:

[F]ew eunuch individuals come out publicly as eunuch and many will tell no one and will share only with like-minded people in an online community or are known as such only to close family and friends.

And they’re victims of stereotyping:

The stereotypes of eunuchs are often highly negative, and eunuchs may suffer the same minority stress as other stigmatized groups. Research into minority stress affecting gender diverse people should therefore include eunuchs.

The world is changing at breakneck speed. Not long ago, there were boys and girls. Now we have boys, and girls, and cake, and birds:

And there’s no sign of stopping. As I covered last week, WPATH’s new guidelines also remove hard age minimums for chemical intervention and sexual surgeries.

From my article:

As the ages at which children are given irreversible drugs and operations have gradually lowered, what’s determined the changes? There doesn’t appear to be any clinical “science,” per se. And it would seem we’re simply on course for there to be no minimums applied whatsoever — as new ideas are accepted by the culture.

Back to eunuchism, will America see a rise in such over the next five years? There seems little reason to doubt it. After all — if “nonbinary” identity continues to increase in popularity, and if young people are told their bodies can and should match their self-perception…physical alterations to erase masculinity will surely trend. As a bonus, it terminates toxic masculinity.

And if you think such operations aren’t actually on the table, think again:

Transgender Guidance Group Removes Age Minimums for Operations on Children

by Leave a Comment

A Transgender guidance group is tossing out age edicts.

In case you’re unfamiliar, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) — formerly the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association — is considered the top transgenderism health association for recommendations related to transgender surgery and chemical intervention.

What makes the Illinois organization the gold standard? That answer seems unclear. But hospitals and other medical institutions are now following the Association’s advice, dished via its Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People protocol.

Concerning various procedures, WPATH’s rules have previously prescribed age minimums — September 6th’s Version 8 did just that. However, on September 15th, an edit was made. As noted by The Daily Wire, Sections for the “minimal ages for gender-affirming medical and surgical treatment for adolescents” were removed.

A confidential draft of the Eighth Edition was released for public review in December 2021 that lowered the recommended minimum age for minors to obtain cross-sex hormones — which cause permanent changes to the body — from 16 to 14, and irreversible chest, face, and genital surgeries to 15, 16, and 17, respectively.

No hard rules are now set; in their place are suggestions.

[W]hile WPATH no longer provides explicit minimum age recommendations in their latest official guidelines, a close reading finds that age suggestions for some procedures are woven into the text.

From Chapter Six:

[R]ecent guidelines suggest there may be compelling reasons to initiate [gender affirming hormone therapy] prior to the age of 16, although there are limited studies on youth who have initiated hormones prior to 14 years of age. … Chest masculinization surgery can be considered in minors when clinically and developmentally appropriate as determined by a multidisciplinary team experienced in adolescent and gender development.

What about vaginoplasties, which attempt to turn a penis into its sexual counterpart?

While the sample sizes are small…studies suggest there may be a benefit for some adolescents to having these procedures performed before the age of 18.

Puberty blockers may be allowed at the first signs of puberty. But to be clear, a maturity requirement is proposed:

[The child must demonstrate] the emotional and cognitive maturity required to provide informed consent/assent for the treatment. … The ability to reason hypothetical situations enables a young person to conceptualize implications regarding a particular decision.

It’s certainly not a standard held for other seismic situations across society. Puberty may start as early as nine for girls — not an age normally associated with “informed consent.” But this is the path America has taken, and there’s no sign of an about-face.

As the ages at which children are given irreversible drugs and operations have gradually lowered, what’s determined the changes? There doesn’t appear to be any clinical “science,” per se. And it would seem we’re simply on course for there to be no minimums applied whatsoever — as new ideas are accepted by the culture.

The new absence of any hard minimums was recently explained by Amy Tishelman, who identified herself as a lead author of the guide in a live stream:

What we didn’t want to do was create a chapter that would make it more likely that practitioners would be sued because they weren’t following exactly what we said. … We wanted there to be some clinician judgment without being at risk for being held in court for not sticking completely to these standards.

As we continue our social evolution, what’s on the docket next? As the notion of “nonbinary” increases in popularity, don’t be surprised if a more modern procedure finds its way to your nearest Children’s Hospital:

Watch: Gay Man Gives Fiery Speech Against Woke School Board Wanting to Teach Transgenderism to Kids

by Leave a Comment

Conejo Valley School District probably wasn’t ready for what came at them last Tuesday when a man named Mario came and gave an important and energizing speech against the grooming of children and the attempt to teach them transgenderism.

Known as “Mario Presents” to the public, Mario represents a group gaining a lot of popularity called “Gays Against Groomers.” A gay Hispanic man himself, Mario has indicated that he’s against the abuse of children by the LGBT activist community by teaching them things like gender fluidity, homosexuality, and transgenderism. According to Mario, the basics such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, should come first.

He made his position clear when he gave a small speech that got a massive ovation from attendees that, thankfully, was recorded so that we could all see it ourselves.

Mario took the podium and began by introducing himself as a member of “Gays Against Groomers” but more importantly, the uncle of two children attending school in the district looking to teach children about transgenderism. He noted that it had come to the parent’s attention that the school was going to start teaching children transgenderism without the parent’s consent.

“If I were to teach your child about my sexuality without your consent or involvement, I’d be arrested,” said Mario, “but when the school district does it, it’s education.”

“Districts are teaching transgenderism when they should be teaching science, math, and language,” he continued. “Instead, teachers are hiding student pronouns from their parents under the guise of gender affirmation.”

Mario gave a scenario of what it would be like if teachers began evangelizing and baptizing children behind the backs of parents.

“Isn’t that sort of what you’re doing?” asked Mario.

“You don’t tuck these children in at night,” he continued. “You don’t teach them to stand up to bullies. You don’t pay their medical bills, and you certainly don’t hold their hands in the hospital.”

“These parents do,” he said pointing to the attendees.

Mario made it clear that the science is not with the school board, and made it clear that you can’t simply pause puberty with hormone blockers and other medications. He also made it clear that “men cannot become women and sex chromosomes are coded into the fabric of our DNA.”

“Simply affirming a teenager’s gender is akin to affirming anorexia,” said Mario. “Both are body dysmorphic disorders yet we don’t teach the starving teenagers how to binge and purge, or affirm that they are indeed overweight.”

Mario highlighted that the school board seems okay with this level of non-logic by teaching girls that they’re actually boys just because they’re uncomfortable in their own bodies. He also noted that medical procedures like hysterectomies can’t be done to grown women without extensive medical forms yet a known doctor just down the road will do top and bottom surgeries, sterilizing the child for life.

Mario finished by making it clear that none of this needs to be happening, especially to children under the age of ten.

The group is apparently very effective at what they do as recently, Venmo, PayPal, and even Google completely de-platformed them in an attempt to break them financially.

But it doesn’t seem to be working. As time goes on, they only seem to get louder and more popular. For the left, this is a worst-case scenario. Nothing derails the narrative more than the people you claim to represent and speak for speaking out against you.
