SCOOP: Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago has created a partnership with local public school districts to promote radical gender theory, “kink,” “BDSM,” artificial penis “packers,” “trans masc pump[s],” and “trans-friendly [sex] toys” for children.

Here's the story.🧵
According to a whistleblower, gender activists at Lurie Children’s Hospital and school administrators in at least four Chicago-area public school systems—Districts 75, 120, 181, and 204—have circulated a training document titled “Beyond Binary: Gender in Schools.”
The training follows the basic narrative of academic queer theory: white, Western society has created an oppressive gender binary, falsely dividing the world into the categories of man and woman, that has resulted in “transphobia,” “cissexism,” and “systemic discrimination.”
The presentation encourages public schools to support “gender diversity” in their districts, automatically “affirm” students who announce sexual transitions, and disrupt the “entrenched norms in western society” in order to create to a more “gender creative” world.
In a version of the presentation circulated to middle school and high school teachers and staff in District 75 and 120, Lurie Children's Hospital promoted a “Binder Exchange Program” to assist teenage girls in binding their breasts.
Next, Lurie Children's Hospital promoted a “kid friendly website for gender affirming gear,” which sells items such as artificial penis “packers,” female-to-male “trans masc pump[s],” and “stand to pee devices” for minors.
Next, Lurie Children’s Hospital promoted an “LGBTQ friendly sex shop for teens” that sells a range of “dildos,” “vibrators,” “harnesses,” “anal toys,” “trans-friendly toys,” and “kink & BDSM” equipment. The site includes graphic descriptions of sadomasochism and bondage.
Finally, Lurie Children’s Hospital published a school policy guide, encouraging districts to adopt a “gender-affirming approach” to the curriculum and to allow students sleep in bunks during overnight school trips in accordance with their “gender identity,” rather than their sex.
Here's the full story on Lurie Children's Hospital and at least four Chicago-area public school districts mainlining radical gender theory into K-12 education: city-journal.org/chicago-childr…

Follow the money: Billionaire trans activist Jennifer Pritzker and her family have donated more than $20 million to Lurie Children's Hospital, including direct funding for "gender and sex development" experiments. It's how medicine gets weaponized into political activism.
Lurie Children's Hospital now funds a team of full-time radical gender theory activists who have created a "school-to-gender-clinic pipeline" from Chicago-area public schools into the hospital for puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and other "gender-affirming" procedures. ImageImage
Here's the full story, including shocking details about the hospital promoting “kink,” “BDSM,” and “trans-friendly [sex] toys” for children.

SCOOP: The Springfield, Missouri public school district held a training program forcing teachers to identify their racial and sexual “privilege,” promoting identities such as “pansexual” and “polyamorous,” and warning that “misgendering a trans person is an act of violence.”

🧵
The training program began with a “land acknowledgement,” led by “chief equity and diversity officer, Yvania Garcia-Pusateri, asking teachers to “acknowledge the dark history and violence” of European settlers and to commit to “social justice work.” Image
Next, the district asked teachers to identify their racial and sexual “privilege” and consider how they contribute to “cycles of oppression.” This system leads oppressors—i.e., white male heterosexuals—to feel “anger, dehumanization, guilt, collusion, ignorance, self-hatred.” ImageImageImageImage

Boston Children's Hospital is promoting a program called HOTT, in which adults teach minors how to "tuck" a penis with medical tape so it looks like a vagina.

"After you have been on hormones for a while, things will shrink and become more comfortable."

Boston Children's Hospital is a major institution that receives a significant amount of taxpayer support, so its policies are a fair subject of public scrutiny—especially when they involve highly-contested medical practices on children.
The hospital has presented itself as a pioneer on "gender-affirming care," has a multibillion-dollar budget, and employs teams of lawyers and communications experts. If they believe in this ideology, they should defend it—not attempt to censor critics.

SCOOP: Sacramento City Unified has laundered radical gender theory into K-12, promoting the idea that heterosexuality is oppressive, encouraging teachers to “normalize” child sexual transitions, and glamorizing identities such as “polyamorous,” “genderf*ck,” and “kink/BDSM.” 🧵
Sacramento Unified has been working on this for a decade. In 2012, the district invited academic queer theorist Elizabeth Meyer to conduct a leadership presentation on how to launder “queer pedagogy” into the K-12 system and create “sexual diversity.”
It’s the standard academic slop: Western society has created a “Heterosexual Matrix,” composed of “Hegemonic Masculinity,” “Emphasized Femininity,” “Heteronormativity,” and “Heterosexism,” that underpins an oppressive system of “patriarchy,” “homophobia,” and “transphobia.”

The left-wing NBC News activist @BrandyZadrozny claims that my tweet sharing a multibillion-dollar medical institution's *publicly-accessible video* is "targeting a children's hospital."

No: it's submitting their policies and actions to public scrutiny, i.e., doing journalism.
This is a pattern. Last year, Zadrozny violated basic journalistic ethics by misrepresenting my work and then refusing to include comment because her editors would not allow statements "disagreeing" with left-wing "experts [and] activists."

NBC News is pure propaganda.
It's amusing that NBC News considers me, an independent journalist, a threat to a multibillion-dollar medical system. Even worse, NBC doesn't give a hint of care toward the real victims: the children who are submitted to invasive puberty blockers and genital surgeries.

Michael Bloomberg opposes Florida's legislation that prevents universities from promoting the idea that one race is superior to another, claiming that this somehow makes Gov. DeSantis "woke."

Click through and ratio this grasping fool.
Ratio'd this idiot in 14 minutes.
The only thing that collapsed faster was his presidential campaign.
