President Donald Trump declared war on gender ideology and the corresponding child sex-change regime upon retaking office. Despite the efforts of non-straight activists and overreaching federal judges, the campaign is off to a great start.
Pursuant to the president's Jan. 28 executive order titled "Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation," the Department of Justice has launched criminal investigations into several hospitals that have provided children with destructive sex-change procedures, and the administration has threatened offending medical institutions' federal funding.
In the face of this crackdown, some of the worst institutional offenders listed in the medical advocacy group Do No Harm's Stop the Harm Database have closed shop.
Stanford Medicine, for instance, paused its sex-change services for minor patients on June 2; Children's Hospital Los Angeles shuttered its infamous child sex-change center on July 22; and Kaiser Permanente recently announced it will stop providing sex-change surgeries for patients under 19 beginning Aug. 29.
Democrats continue to defend the crumbling sex-change regime despite the unscientific nature of "gender-affirming care," the falsity of the narrative constructed in its defense, and Americans' majoritive opposition to the barbaric practice.
Attorneys general from over a dozen states — California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin — plus the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging Trump's Jan. 28 executive order, accusing the administration of violating federal law and of encroaching on states' rights in violation of the 10th Amendment.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, claims that Section 8 of the executive order, specifically, is "unconstitutional and unlawful."
In that section, Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to:
The Democratic coalition, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanded in their complaint that the federal court declare that health care provider-approved sex-change mutilations on minors do not violate the Female Genital Mutilation statute; the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; or the False Claims Act.
"The federal government is running a cruel and targeted harassment campaign against providers who offer lawful, lifesaving care to children," James said in a statement. "This administration is ruthlessly targeting young people who already face immense barriers just to be seen and heard, and are putting countless lives at risk in the process."
'I'm glad that these leftists are making it crystal clear where exactly they stand so they can be held responsible to the fullest extent of the law.'
Non-straight activists recycled the disproven claim that sex-change procedures save lives in their support of the lawsuit and in opposition to the Trump administration's protection of minors.
Carla Smith, the CEO of the New York City LGBT Community Center, for example, stated that "the Trump administration's actions endanger the lives of young people who already face disproportionate rates of depression and suicide. We applaud Attorney General James and this coalition of attorneys general for standing up to these attacks and defending the right to gender-affirming care that is clearly recognized, supported, and protected by law."
Chloe Cole, a detransitioner who has raised awareness across the country about the horrors and fallout of sex-change medical interventions, told Blaze News she had mixed feelings about the lawsuit.

"I'd hoped AG James and the other states would let this gender ideology fade into obscurity — the best outcome for kids. Instead, by suing the Trump administration to shield puberty blockers and surgeries, they're doubling down and showing just how deeply indoctrinated they are," Cole said. "No family is truly safe in a state where children are being mutilated."
Cole — who received sterilizing puberty blockers and hormone therapy at Kaiser Permanente at the age of 13, then underwent a double mastectomy — added, "When all this is over, I'm glad that these leftists are making it crystal clear where exactly they stand so they can be held responsible to the fullest extent of the law."
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, chairman at Do No Harm, said in a statement to Blaze News, "With this lawsuit, the Democratic attorneys general are rejecting science and common sense. Ending these dangerous treatments for children is consistent with the evidence-based standards for treating children suffering from gender dysphoria."
"Meanwhile, this lawsuit is premised upon the cult of identity politics that profits from these irreversible and experimental procedures," Goldfarb continued. "Anyone who prioritizes an ideological and harmful agenda of gender activists over protecting children and providing them high-quality care should be ashamed."
The Trump administration is ready to fight back and confident it will ultimately prove victorious over the child sex-change regime.
"On day one, President Trump took decisive action to stop the despicable mutilation and chemical castration of children — which everyday Americans resoundingly support," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Blaze News. "The president has the lawful authority to protect America's vulnerable children through executive action, and the administration looks forward to ultimate victory on this issue."

There is no such thing as a “transgender child.”
That’s because there is no such thing as a “transgender” person.
Make no mistake: 'Transitioning' a child is medical rape. I dare you to find an example in history of child abuse as depraved as this.
There is not one single human, stretching from the dawn of man through today, who has ever been “trans.” There never will be a person who is “trans.”
“Transgender” does not exist. It does not exist in the same way that “dry water” does not exist, in the same way that “cooling fire” does not exist, in the same way that “invertebrate pelicans” do not exist.
There are people who believe, or who claim to believe, they’re the opposite sex from the one they actually are. There are sissy boys and butch girls. There are men who like feminine pursuits and women who like masculine hobbies.
But there are no “transgender” people.
Straightforward, declarative statements about the lunacy of “transgenderism” are the only way to deal with these insane and destructive ideas.
There is no more time for being nice about it. There’s no more time for misplaced “compassion” or any of the other excuses we’ve been making for accepting codswallop that is ruining the lives of children and adults and tearing families apart.
The very notion “transgender” is an example of the kind of idea so nonsensical that it’s what physicist Wolfgang Pauli described as “not even wrong.” The idea that a person could be “born in the wrong body,” that a man could have a “female brain trapped in a male body” is so absurd — so obviously stupid — that almost no one 20 years ago would have given it credence.
Yet, here we are.
Today, we believe in magical things like transgenderism. Much worse, we believe in “trans kids.” And by “believe,” I mean different things depending on who we’re talking about.
There are people who appear to believe, somehow, that it makes sense that a man can “really be a woman.” That’s one group. It’s small, and it’s unlikely that even the most ardent transgender activists truly believe it deep down. But they’ve convinced themselves they have to “believe” it in order to be good people.
There are many more people who know this is nonsense but who have been cowed by social pressure into pretending they believe it. There are also many people who know it’s insanity but who will not say so under any circumstances because to question an obvious clinical delusion in our era is to invite banishment from one’s family and career.
Stop and consider that.
Pretend it’s 20 years ago if you can; try to slough off the very recent propaganda campaign. Just remember the world you lived in where no one was expected to say they believed in men-women. Are you not astonished and alarmed that we have a social norm that demands that you pretend to believe in the impossible?
Does it not disturb you that this particular “impossible” means children being lied to, told they were born in the wrong body, permanently sterilized through chemical castration, and surgically maimed by having their breasts and genitals removed?
How in the hell is any of this real?

Thirty-five years ago, I was a teenager living as a ward of the state in group homes for “troubled” boys. (When parents are abusive, it’s the children who go to jail, not mom or dad.)
One of the places I hung out was a drop-in community center that hosted a weekly meeting for gay young people. From my standpoint at age 50 (as a conservative and a traditionalist, even if that sounds hard to believe), I don’t think kids should be in such places, but that was my life then.
“Patricia” came to the group meetings every so often. Patricia was what we used to call a “transsexual”; a gay man who was so extraordinarily effeminate that he believed he could only be happy by undergoing surgery to give himself the approximation of a vagina and to “live as a woman.” We all know the type.
“It’s slim pickings for me,” he’d say, dragging on a cigarette coated with shimmering pink lipstick. “The only men interested are tranny chasers.”
The only way to get a “date” for men like Patricia was to agree to be treated as a fetish object for men with disordered inclinations. Patricia knew, just like we all knew back then, that this kind of life was a simulation with a sad ending.
By the 1970s, transsexuals were starting to show up on daytime talk shows. They were a staple in the 1980s and into the 1990s on programs like "The Sally Jessy Raphael Show," "The Jenny Jones Show," and "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
These episodes were always grim spectacles. The hosts would affect to be sympathetic, but the game was to get eyeballs on the weirdos who couldn’t face the real world. We all knew they weren’t women, they knew they weren’t women. Most people would never encounter a crossdresser, a drag queen, or a transsexual in real life.
When we did, most of us tried to say little and stay polite. Some people would refer to such men (it was almost always men in those days, unlike today) as “she.”
But there was no social commandment to pretend that these men were really women. No one lost their jobs to an online social media mob for “misgendering” transvestites. No companies were sued for not allowing a crossdresser to be the public face of a family business like a funeral home.
We’ve come a long way, baby, and we’ve fallen low. Not only did the Supreme Court rule that employers could not “discriminate” against crossdressers and had to let them fly their freak flag, but the sickest people in our society set their sights on children.
In 2007, Barbara Walters sat down with a woman named Jeanette Jennings and her son, born Jaron but now going by "Jazz." Jazz was a little boy whose parents pretended they thought he was a girl. Jazz’s father didn’t like how effeminate his son was, and Jeanette wasted no time tarting up her son in dresses and parading him in front of world media as narcissistic stage mothers have always done.
In lockstep, major media instantly promoted the story along with the idea that it was sane or normal to speak about “transgender children.” Consider this 2007 ABC News headline about the Walters interview: "'I'm a Girl' — Understanding Transgender Children."
There was a trip to Oprah’s couch, too.
Having been raised by a mother deranged with a personality disorder, I’m never surprised by what abusive women will do to their children. What shocks me is how we all tolerate this as a society.

No, it’s worse. We don’t merely “tolerate” it. We cheer on what is obviously Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy and weep tears of joy about how wonderful it is that mom “cares enough” about her “daughter” to arrange for his castration.
Not clear enough? Take a listen to Jeanette describing what she will do to her son’s private parts if he doesn’t follow the medical regime prescribed to care for the wound they created in his groin.
Make no mistake: “Transitioning” a child is medical rape. I dare you to find an example in history of child abuse as depraved as this.
The kids are put on “puberty blockers” to stop their bodies maturing, then put on hormones for the opposite sex (sterilizing them for life), and some of them are sent to surgeons to have their breasts removed if girls and their testicles cut off and their penises turned inside out if boys.
It is a moral and legal scandal that the parents, doctors, and school staff who do this to children have not been arrested, tried, and imprisoned.
While I have some sympathy for parents who have been terrorized by doctors and social workers who claim their child will commit suicide if mom doesn’t let them trans, it goes only so far. There is no excuse, no mitigating circumstance, that can make this kind of mental and physical torture an understandable parental choice.
Have you ever uttered the word “trans kids?” Did you really understand what you were saying when you spoke of this monstrosity as if it were normal? Probably not, and that’s the problem. Slowly, by degrees, all of us have been boiled until our moral sense has been stripped away like the scalded skin of the proverbial frog in a pot.
For at least the past 10 years, everywhere you go you’d hear, “Trans rights are human rights.” “Being trans is normal.” “Denying gender-affirming care will make them kill themselves.”
None of this is anywhere near normal. It is the kind of utterance that would have landed a person in a psych ward for an evaluation 20 years ago.
No, it is not “normal” to think you were born in the wrong body. It is not “normal” to agree with your friend, or your child, that they’re the opposite sex. It is not “normal” to poison children and vivisect their genitals, leaving them to suffer mentally and physically until a likely early death.
But liberals, leftists, and those easy to morally manipulate are convinced that trans is real and that the rest of us have to pretend it is or we’re driving vulnerable people to suicide.
Yes, that really is the claim. Here is just one of countless thousands of articles from “advocacy” groups claiming that your child will kill herself if you don’t call her by her “boy name.”
The propaganda worked. Otherwise sane and sensible people (relatively speaking), write mawkish articles portraying obviously mentally sick people as simply “transgender.” The purpose of this is to guilt the rest of us into complying with the lie under the threat of being responsible if some crazy man in a dress, or some poor troubled teen, kills himself.
Substack writer Greg Scaduto is typical of the genre. The prose style is artificially winsome and warm. The tone is, Why, trans women are just a different kind of woman after all. And these ladies are very brave to finally live as their authentic selves. Shouldn’t we really be more kind?
Scaduto presents himself as the 21st-century caring, compassionate liberal man ready to protect the poor “trans women.” The treacly essay revolves around a deluded man who had a “sex change” and who calls himself Maeve DuVally. Throughout, Scaduto refers to this man as “she” and “her,” burnishing his really-swell-guy credentials with prose like this:
There was a warmth now that didn’t exist a minute ago. As if she was relieved someone had opened a door instead of demanding she walk through one already built.
So I told her – kind of offhandedly but also kind of with the quiet urgency of someone who’s maybe trying a little too hard to seem like he’s not trying too hard – that my audience is mostly young white guys.
It’s about 10 years past the time we should have ripped the Band-Aid off this gangrenous lie. Transgenderism isn’t real, but the mental illness and child abuse that drives it is.
Children are being medically mutilated right now as you read this article. The Supreme Court’s recent decision upholding Tennessee’s law banning the “transition” of minors is a good step, but it’s nowhere near enough. If we were a sane country, we would already have jailed every adult who did this to a child under existing child abuse laws.
People like you and me, ordinary people without celebrity status or political power, have a duty to help end this. We have to stop lying to save political face. We have to be willing to make our friends and family “uncomfortable.”
What does that mean? Everyone should stop:
I can guess that some readers may find this difficult, abrasive, or shocking. But what we should all find shocking is that an article like this is necessary.
We all know trans is a lie. We’ve always known it.
Now, it’s time to tell the truth.
In a social media post last week, President Trump noted that what Democrats are demanding in exchange for their cooperation in reopening government would require more than $1 trillion in spending and “force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors.” Indeed, taxpayers are already funding such surgeries via Obamacare subsidies — and Democrats have shut […]
The report explains how the Human Rights Campaign pressures hospitals into child castration to service 'transgender' ideology.
After a 'thorough legal and financial assessment,' the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles decided to cut its losses.
The unpopular and dangerous extremes were always the logical conclusion trans ideology was hurtling toward.
HHS already created a portal to receive complaints from whistleblowers, and the department 'may soon undertake new policies and oversight actions ... to hold providers that harm children accountable.'
Lawmakers, alumni of these schools, and the public must demand accountability, defund schools with ideological mandates, and restore medicine to its core mission: saving lives through reason and evidence.
Colorado Democrats want to kill as many babies and mutilate as many children as possible, and make Coloradans pay for it.
