The all pervasive smoke and mirrors of the Gender People is so entrenched I have to read things like this (Brief of Women's Declaration International...) to remind myself that Big Trans is simply gaslighting the hell out of us. There's no negotiating with these people, they need to be smacked (metaphorically speaking) like bad dogs, it's the only thing they understand.

The entire trans edifice is built on a foundation of sand and it's great to see some pillars finally sinking into oblivion. "There is no such thing as a “trans child” and there are no other mental health conditions that are sorted out by amputating healthy pieces of our bodies and taking drugs that are known to cause harm." https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/gender-affirming-care-for-children

I am so proud of you all. I hope we can all agree to pray the attorneys will present the case throughly with clarity, that the Justices will set aside political biases, and that the Lord will guide them to rule in favor of Tennessee's ban on these procedures.

Thank you for all of your hard work refuting the lies of gender identity ideology and clarifying the damage to women's and girls' rights that goes with it. We salute and love you.

"We think choosing as to medicalize our bodies to live out a fantasy has made us happy, so we think kids should do it too."

"FANTASY!" That says it all!!

WPATH is NOT a medical organization! They are clearly activists. So-called "doctors" making money by mutilating our children should be in prison.

Most children outgrow their "gender dysphoria" without any medical care whatsoever.

My company published Transgender Mindbender: How This 21st Century Fad is Mutilating Our Children. It's designed as a picture book but the content is geared more toward teens and young adults. It contains numerous footnotes with quotes from scientific studies, doctors, and therapists who are against the trans cult movement, and see it as child abuse, which it is.

My best friend's child was indoctrinated into the trans cult during the first year of college. The pain it has caused not only that individual, but also the family, is heartbreaking.

I hope somebody in that Supreme Court case brings up individuals who are currently suing doctors and hospitals (the numbers are growing!) for getting drugged, and having their healthy parts removed (it happened to some of them as children), without being given all of the information showing that the changes are permanent and, often, debilitating for a lifetime...to say nothing of the costs because the drugs must be taken forever and the surgeries can leave lasting problems that require more and more surgeries. Some of the issues can't be fixed at all.

Well done to all those who filed briefs for the state of Tennessee! I'm very hopeful that the Court will take what you wrote to heart.

I've been reporting a massive, worldwide scam targeting authors through ads on Facebook. Facebook refuses to remove the ads. It's a criminal cartel located in Pakistan and India.

I'm in the UK, and am wondering if the forthcoming Trump Presidency will resolve all of this nonsense by finally banning so called 'Gender Affirming Care' & removing/forbidding all pornographic/rainbow obsessed books from children's school libraries & other libraries? And across all USA states, not just those won by the Republicans. I certainly hope so 🙏 It's inevitable that T-medicalisation will all go underground, but surely heavy penalties will be faced by the offenders (including Schools & Libraries) who continue to push this disgusting 'industry' on our children. If the Democrats had won, I do hope that parents know that all of this would only get far worse.

I wish it were that easy. Trump talks a big game, but he's not all powerful as POTUS. I am afraid it's going to take years and years of legal, educational, and social battles to turn the ship around on this issue. And the Gender People now have a real enemy to feel oppressed by, so they'll feel even more self-righteous than they already do and be energized unfortch.

Yes, it should. I just saw him announce that he will immediately irradicate it:

-no men in women's sports

-ideology out of the schools and all government organizations

-nationwide ban on medicalization of minors

-fire those pushing the agenda

-investigate big pharma for pushing it

I thought I saved the video but I can't find it now.

Colin Wright posted the video:

"This is a strong statement from

@realDonaldTrump

to put an end to the gender madness. I fully support it, and hope I can help his administration make this a reality."

https://x.com/swipewright/status/1854463035756122553?s=46

It is taken from a 3.43 min speech Trump made in February. The full speech is even better than the clip and there's a transcript:

Brilliant 👏 Will this be in all blue states too? Not many of them left now haha 🤣 Our new Labour UK Government is like the Democrats & it's AWFUL. Only 30% voted them in but there they are for the next 4.5 years. Hopefully Trumps Presidency will influence things over here because the TRA movement (instigated by UK Stonewall & other similar organisations here) is horrific, and has massively infiltrated & indoctrinated our Schools and all Public Services (Hospitals, Councils, Womens Refuges & Rape Centres and even some prisons) & sports too in Europe. Southern Ireland is still part of the EU, not the UK, and is their Government completely lost to the cult. I'm from Wales & the Welsh Government has literally stopped parents being able to opt their own children out of the indoctrination at schools. This is soon to come in England, Scotland & Northern Ireland unless there's a miracle. Loads of Womens/GC pressure Groups are fighting back, but they get no coverage (& certainly no positive coverage) on mainstream media channels such as the BBC. The masses are in the "Be Kind" brigade over here & refuse to acknowledge the harms. This is despite the Hilary Cass Report in 2023, which you've maybe heard of. Guessing you know all about the Paris Boxing scandal. I don't understand how your Senate & Congress system works across each state in the US. Please can you explain? Many thanks 😊

Thanks ☺️ This is strong leadership, which is severely lacking in the UK. I'm forever defending Trump & Republican policies on such matters to people in my network here who believe all the nonsense about that and the lies about Trump and Republicans, favouring the previous administration & repeated democrat crime families 🙄

Have they demanded to get the $9.7 million taxpayer funded study suppressed by NIH Johanna Olson-Kennedy that shows puberty blockers do not improve mental health? Congress just demanded it but this case desperately needs the same info.

I read about that. The results of the study clearly weren't what she wanted!!!

I saw this issue with the study suppression AFTER I saw the Skrmetti brief so I'm concerned it didn't make it in. It is such a critical piece to this case:

1. showing that this "care" is not beneficial

2. showing the activists are actively the cause behind pushing this agenda without a basis in evidence

Good job! If gender identity cannot be proven as objective and immutable but rather a ever-changing, evolving feeling not based in biology or metabolic imbalance then we should be affirming the objective gender and treating the underlying feelings and where do they come from?

Almost all trans have an underlying psychiatric disorder. A large percentage are autistic. None of the people profiting from mutilating our children are looking into that.

Thank you to all those who are using their skills and time to fight this! From all the parents who have often felt we have no way to fight for our children ourselves, against such powerful activists. We stand with you!

BRAVO to all the Respondents and amicus on their behalf!

This is the issue of our time. If we as a society determine that there is a such a thing as a "trans child" who is born with the necessity to radically alter his or her body to appear as the opposite sex and the necessity to be lied to by the rest of the world about their sex to ever have any semblance of happiness, then reality has gone.

If this happens, the harm to tens of thousands of vulnerable children, teens and young adults (including sterilization and too many medical harms to list, as well as psychological harm, including forced body hatred) will continue unfettered and only increase.

If this happens, women and girls will lose safe spaces, privacy and fairness in sports.

If this happens, the First Amendment right to call out these harms will likely be squashed.

If this happens, parents' right to decide their children's care will be gone, and many parents will lose custody of their children. Those children will be wards of the State.

If this happens, I fear for what other parts of reality will fall. Will we once again have witch trials? (Will the witches be those of us who fight gender ideology?) Will we start to question things like gravity (a cis-heteronormative notion created by a bunch of white, male scientists)? Will the flat Earthers begin to gain traction?

If we can't accept that sex is real, and that no child is born in the wrong body, I am afraid we can't make any sensible decisions at all, and I fear that society is headed for a downfall. Without trying to be hyperbolic, I think the very survival of our species may be at stake.

It's unfortunate that it's come to this because people have no ability to think critically and use common sense. Not to mention the lack of real concern for vulnerable children and adults. I feel lawsuit's are the only way to stop this madness.
