Parasmia after COVID is and has been severely affecting the lives of many Americans (everything smells repulsive down to the water in their shower). But there’s shockingly little resources to turn to and medical experts don’t seem to know what to do (surprise).
NEW: A new lawsuit from @AllianceDefends accuses Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine School District of addressing a 12-year-old girl using a male name and male pronouns against her parents objections. Details here:
When the girl began experiencing “rapid onset gender dysphoria” in Dec. 2020, her parents pulled her out of school and began sending her to a mental health center that affirmed "she was really a transgender boy" and encouraged her to transition.
The 12-year-old told her parents and the school in January that she was a transgender boy and wanted to adopt a male name and pronouns, but her parents decided that “immediately transitioning would not be in their daughter’s best interest."
Tons of media at the Supreme Court, where a small crowd of protestors on both sides of the abortion debate are gathering. Today SCOTUS will hear two challenges to the Texas Heartbeat Act.
“Our collective liberation includes the unborn,” says Lauren Handy, a member of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising.
“I thought we were supposed to dress up,” says one pro-abortion protestor who wrapped herself in caution tape.
NEW: Fairfax County Public Schools will be administering a survey this November that asks children if they are transgender, when, how, and how often they have sex, drug and alcohol consumption, and intimate details of their family life.
Parents have the option to opt their children out of the survey, @fcpsnews tells me. Schools are directed to give parents 30 days’ notice to opt their child out of the survey in a letter, otherwise the kids will be given the survey.
“It is important to know how our youth view substance use in their lives and in those they interact with in the community,” a FCPS spokeswoman said, adding that the school system strives to be "proactive" in its approach. dailysignal.com/2021/10/18/vir…
WaPo: "At Levine’s confirmation hearing to serve as assistant secretary for health, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tried to draw a connection between genital mutilation and transition-related care, which prompted stern rebukes from Paul’s Democratic colleagues."
