Parents, Teachers Start Winning Court Battles Against Secret Gender Transition Policies

👇THREAD 🔖 Bookmark this post to come back to it later

A revolt against government policies that many say usurp parental authority is spreading across the nation—especially in blue states where lawmakers have promoted transgender ideology and "gender-affirming care"—according to parents, attorneys, and teachers.theepochtimes.com/article/parent…

For more than a year, #California parents have shown up in droves at legislative hearings and phoned in by the hundreds to protest policies that encourage schools to keep social gender transitions of children secret.

Teachers also have begun to refuse to hide information about a child's gender identity from parents.

Meanwhile, Democratic members of the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus have spearheaded legislation supporting so-called gender-affirming care, especially for children, touting it as a “first-in-the-nation” model.

Parental rights groups such as Our Duty have pushed back against the model, while groups such as Planned Parenthood, Equality California, and others support it.

California school districts claim that they’re required by law to keep gender transitions secret from parents unless a child wants to tell his or her parents.

But recent court rulings tell a different story.

IN-DEPTH: Doctors Warn of the 'Hidden Harms' of Bioengineered Foods

Some doctors are disturbed by the current trajectory of manipulating food sources.

🔖Bookmark this thread

With the rise of bioengineered foods and ingredients on the market, doctors are warning consumers about the "hidden harms" that may be lurking in the foods they purchase. theepochtimes.com/health/in-dept…

The USDA defines bioengineered food as a consumable product that “contains detectable genetic material that has been modified through certain lab techniques that cannot be created through conventional breeding or found in nature.”

On Jan. 1, 2022, the USDA implemented a new disclosure standard for bioengineered food, so manufacturers must now label food products with the terms “bioengineered” or “derived from bioengineering” so consumers will know what they are buying.

They Suffered Myocarditis After COVID-19 Vaccination. Years Later, Some Still Haven't Recovered.

THREAD👇

"I didn't want to take the vaccine. I didn't believe in it."

But he wanted to appease his mother. "I would do anything for her."

While Mr. Cohen initially resisted receiving a shot, he faced restrictions such as being forced to remain on base while vaccinated soldiers left.

He was also pressured by military commanders, who scheduled a vaccination appointment for him and contacted his mother as part of a multipronged campaign.

"They told me, 'Come on. It's your mother. She's crying. She's worried. What wouldn't you do for her?'"

Mr. Cohen received his first shot, manufactured by Pfizer, on Sept. 22, 2021. He was 21.

2 weeks later, he was awakened by a sharp pain at 3 a.m.

"I felt like my heart was trying to get out of my chest," Mr. Cohen said.

The soldier has felt pain before. "I never felt something like this."

"I felt like I was truly dying."

Doctors finally came in and ran tests. They diagnosed Mr. Cohen with perimyocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle and the tissue around the heart.

They said Mr. Cohen was lucky. If he had come just a little later, he would have needed open heart surgery.

He spent 3 days in the hospital, taking medication and pills. When he was discharged, he was told not to engage in any physical activity for at least 6 months. He also needed to report for regular checkups and take a pill every day.

6 months after leaving the hospital, Mr. Cohen's cardiac MRI showed concerning results. His heart still hadn't recovered.

Doctors gave him more pills.

"They told me maybe I will need them for the rest of my life," Mr. Cohen said.

Myocarditis and COVID-19 Vaccines: How the CDC Missed a Safety Signal and Hid a Warning

THREAD👇theepochtimes.com/article/myocar…

#COVID19 vaccines cause heart inflammation, US authorities now acknowledge.

But after being warned in early 2021 about a "large number" of cases among healthy, young people in Israel after COVID-19 vaccination, authorities did not immediately alert the public while also failing to detect a safety signal that was present in the US, an Epoch Times investigation has found.

Even after deaths from #Myocarditis—inflammation of the heart—were reported and myocarditis was designated as a likely side effect of the shots, US officials kept recommending vaccination for virtually the entire populace.

That led to millions of young people receiving a vaccine.

Many of those people suffered.
