Here's a call I got from a mom just yesterday:

At 12, daughter decides with her friends that she's trans. Mom not on board. Daughter had always been very girly - more girly than the non-feminine mom was comfortable with.

At 14, daughter pushes for hormones & surgery.
/1
Daughter discovers that if she "opens up" to her pro-transition step-mom & therapist that mom is a "transphobe," that she's not "safe" with mom as a trans teen, she
gets everyone's attention.

/2
At 14, frustrated with mom, daughter tells step-mom that living with mom puts her at risk of suicide. Social workers and therapists leap in to 'help.' Step-mom only too happy to let her get hormones and surgeries. Mom now at risk of losing custody.

/3
I hear stories like this many times a week.

Our culture has turned its back on the American family. Social workers, internet influencers, school therapists, psychologists and doctors all "affirm" troubled teen girls and threaten all parents who aren't on board.

/4
This is a story no mainstream newspaper wants to hear -- certainly not enough to run a review of my book. They're afraid of the woke mobs in their own ranks -- like the one threatening Joe Rogan right now.

/5
There's an epidemic of troubled teen girls suddenly deciding they're trans with friends, begging for hormones and surgeries and getting them. Read my book. Or don't ready my book. The phenomenon is real. All the efforts to silence me won't help these girls.

/6
We have a choice to make: It's between the woke mobs and their tremulous feelings or the mental health and welfare of teen girls. It's past time we stopped bowing to the mobs. It's time to stand up for our girls.

/7

Get the sense that we talk about on-campus harassment and intimidation differently when the subjects are Jewish students?

In 2017, an anonymous jerk put flyers with a Confederate flag and cotton around American University's campus. They read "Huzzah for Dixie" or similar.
🧵 Image
2/ The university went into emergency response mode, treating these flyers as a criminal threat. It published CCTV video and immediately asked the public for help in identifying the man who posted the racist flyers.

3/ An APB - called "CRIME ALERT" - went out for his arrest.

America threw more preventative "mental health resources" at Gen Z than at any generation prior.

Therapeutic techniques guided how these kids were parented. Our kids were treated to "Social Emotional Learning," and "Empathy Education," and "Restorative Justice" at school.

/1
Schools hired large psych and counseling staffs to support them.

Kids had more access to therapists and psychiatric meds than any prior generation.

And these interventions were destigmatized to a degree that would have been unthinkable just two generations ago.

/2
Did this unprecedented investment succeed? Did we produce a happy, healthy, strong generation, eager and ready to take on the challenges of adulthood?

Quite the opposite. The entire project didn't simply fail - it backfired spectacularly.

This is Alexandra Orbuch, Jewish editor of Princeton’s conservative newspaper. A male student shoves a Palestinian flag in the way of her camera, then blocks her way, forcing her down a step.

/1
According to Orbuch, one protester pushed her, stepped on her foot, trailed her closely when she tried to leave, in a form of harassment known as “bird dogging.”

This male student doesn’t bother to hide his face. He knows he’ll never be held accountable by his university.

/2
Imagine if this type of harassment of a female student had occurred at a Pride Rally or Take Back the Night event. It is unthinkable that the university would stand idly by.

Here is Harvard's statement on the invasion of Ukraine, from Feb 2022. It stakes out an incredibly clear moral position.

Harvard raised the Ukrainian flag on campus in solidarity.

/1 Image
On October 7, 2023, the Jewish state was invaded - its civilians subjected to unimaginable atrocities.

Harvard's president Claudine Gay equivocated for days on whether even to condemn Hamas, much less its joyful celebrants on her own campus.

/2
Meanwhile, Jewish students on her campus contend with the dozens of campus organizations - hundreds of students - engage in ongoing public celebration of the massacre.

HOW LEFTIST MEDIA LIES:

My book was published this week in Israel, a country 1/50th the population of the US, where Amazon has little presence. Bowing to LGBTQ+ activist pressure, the two largest book chains refused to carry the book, which made it hard to buy in Israel.

1/ Image
Nonetheless, hundreds immediately registered (and paid) to attend my talk in Tel Aviv.

/2
Next, PRIDE bullied two large venues in Tel Aviv to cancel my talk, threatening to boycott those venues for all of PRIDE month if they allowed me to speak.

Gender Spin Zone claim:

*Gender surgery is never (or almost never) performed on minors.*

Here, Yale's Dr. Meredithe McNamara testifies to the Florida's Medical Board that top surgery on minors is "extremely rare"
/1
Watch the clip. She claims she has never even heard a patient express the desire for top surgery. That's how rare it is.

/2
But a recently published JAMA Pediatrics research letter showed that in 2019, there were nearly 500 minors in the U.S. between ages of 13-17 who underwent top surgery -- in hospital-owned surgical centers alone.
