I know many conservatives AND liberals who’ve been called “racist” or even “Nazi” by leftists over the years for objecting to *insert woke policy* and, let me tell you, it is EXHAUSTING. They don’t have a bigoted bone in their bodies. It’s a form of wolf-crying.

I even know a Mennonite pastor, who is probably the most kind-hearted man on earth, who was called a “white nationalist” for objecting to queer theory being pushed in the denomination. He was horrified before he recognized the intimidation tactic for what it was.

THE SIBLINGS RIPPED APART BY "TRANS"

So I'm working on a rather haunting project about brothers and sisters who have been affected by "trans." Their voices haven't been heard so much in the media yet but they soon will be. Stay tuned.
1/16 Have been interviewing young men and women (just finished one a little bit ago, in fact) who have had to watch in horror as their parents fall apart when they find out one of their children is being drugged and surgically maimed because they believe they are the other sex.

A week from today the US Supreme Court will hear the Skrmetti case, which centers on the constitutionality of the state of Tennesee's ban on chemically and surgically trans-ing minors. 1/5 Although it's too early to say, some signs indicate that the high court will side with Tennessee. But I think what is as important is that the oral arguments may helpfully elucidate the truth of what's been lurking in the shadows. 2/5

🧵THREAD -- HOW FAMILY COURTS FACILITATE CHILD STERILIZATION:
A judge removed Ted Hudacko’s custody because he didn’t affirm his son as “trans”. The bonus episode of season 3 of CP’s documentary podcast “Generation Indoctrination” details this story.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-f… In violation of the court order, doctors at @UCSF surgically implanted a puberty-blocking device in his son’s arm. They also started him on cross-sex hormones. His son is almost certainly sterile now. Doctors and court officers conspired to do this behind Ted’s back. 2/8

You can't pretend you don't know that kids are being sterilized with a combination of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. You can't pretend you don't know that surgeons are amputating the breasts of girls as young as 13. No more feigning ignorance.

1/10 You can't say that you didn't know that doctors were using bowel tissue to make fake vaginas for teen boys. You can't say that you had no idea that the drugs given to gender-confused kids cause reduced bone growth, impaired brain development, and destroyed sexual function.

I'm simmering. Really hot under the collar today.
I'm reviewing a brutal interview I did recently for an upcoming project. I spoke with a Detrans man from Oregon, who was lured into an orchiectomy, the surgical removal of his testicles. It was a horrendous ordeal. 1/13 But what was especially terrible in this case was how a progressive church that claims to follow Jesus contributed to steering him down the trans path, ultimately yielding the irreversible disfigurement of his genitals. And how did this church do it? 2/13

SUNDAY THREAD 🧵

At church this morning I prayed for all the families shattered by this awful scourge and for all the kids who have been surgically disfigured.
And don't gaslight me. This IS happening, to our great shame.
Let's review the receipts: 1/13
christianpost.com/voices/yes-tra… Approximately a year ago, Boston Children's Hospital was exposed on a wider scale for performing trans surgeries on minors. According to the Journal of Clinical Medicine last year, from 2017-2020 "gender" mastectomies were done on 65 under-18 girls. 2/13

LIFE INSIDE THE “TRANS SANCTUARY” OF CALIFORNIA

NEW: An investigative story from me. Gender ideology has turned California into a legal quagmire. What, then, for families of dysphoric youth? In Ted Hudacko’s case, it’s a protracted nightmare. 1/5
christianpost.com/news/fathers-f… If gender ideology keeps infusing the law and government entities in the Golden State, and it is likely to do so with pending legislation, AB 957 (in which parents who object to gender medicalization could be charged of “child abuse”), the climate will worsen. 2/5

FIRE 🔥THREAD 🧵 LET'S GO!

So I check Twitter and I see that a popular conservative commentator has called for a particular ideology, an "ism", to be "eradicated" from public life. Happens to be an "ism" that I've covered extensively at CP for nearly 7 years now.
1/13 And of course, I also see insufferably smug progressive religionist twits saying he called for eradication of people who believe in this "ism", even "genocide" of those who subscribe to these beliefs. **eye roll** 2/13

Please, I implore you, hear me out. A THREAD 🧵:

I just did one of the toughest interviews I've ever done in my journalism career. Easily in the top five. 1/8 I do my best to keep my composure and stay professional on the job but this one left me grabbing my chest, gasping for breath, and in tears. I almost had to stop mid-way through it. 2/8
