Sep 14, 2025 ~ 'The AP goes full corny' The AP runs a ridiculous story claiming that 'climate change' is making it difficult to grow corn. Like so many similar #FakeNews 'climate change' stories, the facts do not support the claims even remotely. "Per-acre yield has more than tripled since 1961, and the last 15 years have seen the highest yields ever. So, if “climate change” has affected corn yields, the impact apparently has been positive." They have to bang the climate change alarmism drum regularly even if it means lying about problems that don't exist. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Fake News]

But now people on the left are starting to question it. Radio host Charlamagne Tha God: "I ain’t going to lie.

Sep 7, 2025 ~ "'Transableism' Comes After Transgenderism" "Transableism is an advocacy term for a mental illness known as Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID)" which is a subclass of body dysmorphia conditions like anorexia, trans gender and trans racial conditions.
"A Canadian surgeon amputated the fingers of a BIID patient who fervently believed they did not belong on his body, which the media reported as a resounding success. A psychologist once blinded a patient with a caustic substance because she was convinced her true self could not see." Some object or recoil at these Integrity Affirming care procedures but "if it is ethical to surgically remove genitals, change facial structures to look more masculine or feminine (as the case may be), administer strong hormones to alter secondary sex characteristics, and otherwise make a member of one sex appear to be the other, why is it not also appropriate to cut off unwanted arms or snip spinal cords if that brings emotional relief?" Of course all of this is madness and participating doctors should have their medical licenses revoked for violations of the "Do no harm" principle. [Anti-Science, Health Care, Trans]
Sep 7, 2025 ~ 'Transgenderism and Magical Thinking'
Very important to understand why so called 'gender affirming care' significantly INCREASES suicidality among 'trans' youth. "McHugh cited research showing that the suicide rate among transgender individuals after surgery is 20 times higher than average, hardly a ringing endorsement of 'transition' as treatment. Other studies show that 70%-80% of children who express transgender feelings eventually outgrow them without medical intervention. While one can outgrow fantasies, medical or surgical gender reassignment is permanent, and may leave one with regret and depression." In other words, if you DON'T give gender affirming care to young people, they almost certainly outgrow the idea that they are 'trans.' But once you do give that 'care', they almost certainly will not outgrow being 'trans' and will have a life time of unnecessary medical treatments, sterility and other negative health consequences and in exchange for all of that will have a 20X higher than average suicide rate.

"A major pillar of the Democrats’ donor ecosystem just pleaded guilty to $248 million in green fraud. Multimillionaire environmentalist Joe Sanberg co-founded the $2.3 billion “financial and sustainability services company” Aspiration Partners and donated tens of millions to progressive Democratic causes, candidates, and the party itself. He pleaded guilty to a massive green fraud after being indicted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and now faces up to 20 years in prison." Aspiration's billion dollar revenue was built on a carbon offset scheme. "But it was all built on a lie." "The defendant didn’t just bend the truth, he built a business on a lie to boost the company’s value and line his own pockets." This should surprise NO ONE!

Most notably though is that the alleged CO2 reductions in some developed countries like the UK are only because they shift their emissions to countries whose CO2 emissions are growing. Total scam:
"Which brings us to the lie that we are not actually emitting that CO2--we are, just by proxy. Who is buying the products made in China and India that contribute to the massive increase in CO2? We do. We are simply exporting the production overseas, reducing our own manufacturing capacity and job growth, and handing economic growth to much less efficient economies elsewhere. Arguably, we are increasing our CO2 production, but locating the emitters overseas to hide the fact that we are causing the emissions in the first place." [Anti-Science, Climate Change]

Aug 3, 2025 ~ The US Department of Energy releases a document called 'A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate' One important conclusion contrary to propaganda from Democrats and the #Fakenews: "Most types of extreme weather exhibit no statistically significant long-term trends over the available historical record. While there has been an increase in hot days in the U.S. since the 1950s, a point emphasized by AR6, numbers are still low relative to the 1920s and 1930s. Extreme convective storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and droughts exhibit considerable natural variability, but long-term increases are not detected. Some increases in extreme precipitation events can be detected in some regions over short intervals but the trends do not persist over long periods and at the regional scale. Wildfires are not more common in the U.S. than they were in the 1980s. Burned area increased from the 1960s to the early 2000’s, however it is low compared to the estimated natural baseline level. U.S. wildfire activity is strongly affected by forest management practices."

Jul 4, 2025 ~ Andrew Sullivan, 'How the Gay Rights Movement Radicalized and Lost Its Way'
"But this huge increase in funding was no longer primarily about gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights, because almost all had already been won. It was instead about a new and radical gender revolution. Focused on ending what activists saw as the oppression of the sex binary, which some critical gender and queer theorists associated with 'white supremacy,' they aimed to dissolve natural distinctions between men and women in society, to replace biological sex with 'gender identity' in the law and culture, and to redefine homosexuality, in the process, not as a neutral fact of the human condition but as a liberating ideological 'queerness' meant to subvert and 'queer' language, culture and society in myriad different ways."
"The words 'gay' and 'lesbian' all but disappeared. L.G.B.T. became L.G.B.T.Q., then L.G.B.T.Q.+, and more letters and characters kept being added: L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+ or 2S.L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+ (to include intersex, asexual people and two-spirit Indigenous people). The plus sign referred to a seemingly infinite number of new niche identities, and, by some counts, more than 70 new 'genders.'"
"But this new ideology, I believed, was different. Like many gays and lesbians — and a majority of everybody else — I simply didn’t buy it. I didn’t and don’t believe that being a man or a woman has nothing to do with biology. My sexual orientation is based on a biological distinction between men and women: I’m attracted to the former and not to the latter. And now I was supposed to believe the difference didn’t exist?"
"But abolishing the sex binary for the entire society? That’s a whole other thing entirely. And madness, I believe. What if I redefined what it is to be heterosexual and imposed it on straight people? Or changed what it means to be a man or a woman, for that matter? Then it ceases to be accommodation of a minority and becomes a societywide revolution — an overreach that would soon lead to a potent and sane backlash, against not just trans people, but gay men and lesbians as well."
"But in the wake of victory, L.G.B.T.Q.+ groups reneged on that pledge. They demanded the entire society change in a fundamental way so that the sex binary no longer counted. Elementary school children were taught that being a boy or a girl might not have anything to do with their bodies, and that their parents had merely guessed whether they were a boy or a girl when they were born. In fact, sex was no longer to be recognized at birth — it was now merely assigned, penciled in. We got new terms like 'chest-feeding' for 'breastfeeding' and 'birthing parent' for 'mother.'"
"A key leader of this movement, Chase Strangio, informed us that 'a penis is not a male body part. It’s just an unusual body part for a woman.' We all were suddenly expected to announce our pronouns as if everyone didn’t already know. Then neopronouns — xe/xem! — were added. The movement came up with a mantra: 'TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN. TRANS MEN ARE MEN.' It was not an argument, nor a proposition to be explored or debated. It was a theological command. In all caps."
"You can bring up your children however you like, we promised. We will leave you alone. We will leave your children alone. So what did the gender revolutionaries go and do? They focused almost entirely on children and minors. Partly because the adult issues had been resolved or close to it, and partly because true cultural revolutions start with the young, it meant overhauling the education not only of children with gender dysphoria, but of every other kid as well."
"Kids all over the country were affected. Your children were taught in elementary school that being a boy or a girl was something they could choose and change at will. Your daughter found herself running against a trans girl (i.e., a biological male) in athletics. Children in elementary school got to pick pronouns, and some children socially transitioned at school without their parents’ knowledge or permission."
"And then most radical of all: gender-affirming care for minors, which can lead to irreversible sex changes for children. The 'care' included off-label 'blockers' to arrest puberty, almost always followed with cross-sex hormones."
"But I wonder how I might have responded if someone in authority — a parent or a teacher or a doctor — had suggested that my difference and occasional anxiety was because I was, in fact, a girl. That my body was irrelevant, and that I could choose to be the opposite sex before puberty and all my confusions would disappear. I just don’t know what I would have said or done, to be honest. And how do today’s parents, teachers and doctors know for sure that a 10-year-old child isn’t, well, like me, and really is trans? How can they know for sure that the gender dysphoria isn’t instead a manifestation of being gay or lesbian and wanting to change it? How do they know for sure there isn’t another complicating personal or psychological factor? I was told not to worry. A child had to demonstrate a “persistent, consistent and insistent” trans identity for years even to be considered for medical intervention. But this, I found out, was no longer true."
"As soon as a kid said he or she was the opposite sex, further counseling and mental health exploration was deemed problematic, because it amounted to transphobic conversion therapy, we were told. When I said that seemed crazy, and that surely we needed more safeguards, I was sternly told, 'Children know who they are.' But do they? When they are between 9 and 13? I sure didn’t. Does any parent really believe this? Solid long-term data on how many children who transition but decide later it was a mistake is hard to find, in large part because the procedures are relatively new and the studies often have very poor follow-up. But without a doubt, there are some. They are walking around today, testifying in courts and legislatures, opining all over the web, telling similar stories of rushed judgments, minimal safeguards, inadequate gate-keeping and agonizing regret that as children they made irreversible decisions they could not meaningfully consent to. I have met many. They break your heart. And so many of the gender-dysphoric kids are gay and lesbian."
"And a fix for gender dysphoria for gay and lesbian kids can be puberty itself, as it was for me and many of my gay male friends. We were also told, repeatedly, that transitioning children was drastic, but the alternative could be that they would commit suicide. We often ask parents, ‘Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter?’" But now we find out that was never true.
"One concern is specific for boys who transition to girls in early puberty. 'If you’ve never had an orgasm pre-surgery, and then your puberty’s blocked, it’s very difficult to achieve that afterwards,' a pioneering trans surgeon, Dr. Marci Bowers, has said. Research on this is minimal, and so caution is necessary in jumping to conclusions. But I ask myself: If there is a risk that some people will be denied sexual pleasure for their entire lives because they transitioned very early, is it worth it? And how can a child understand what giving up orgasms for life might mean when he hasn’t experienced a single one? The obvious answer is that he can’t, and it’s profoundly unethical to put him in that situation. And who exactly is looking out for these kids? Certainly not the L.G.B.T.Q. organizations."

Jul 4, 2025 ~ 'Professor Judith Curry: Climate Science Has Become Pseudo ScienceProfessor Judith Curry: Climate Science Has Become Pseudo Science' "Curry has published approximately 190 scientific papers and co-authored several significant publications on climate science."
"Let’s turn now to three extreme climate events around the globe, which many believe are linked by man-made climate change. The Western drought and dozens of major forest fires, as well as flooding in the East, are all painful demonstrations of the reality of the climate crisis. But they’re all in agreement that global warming is causing more extreme weather events."
Curry: "Oh, they’re not increasing. This is the issue. They’re not increasing, and you’d never believe that to be the case based on the reports in the media."
Curry goes on to explain how impossible it is for any scientist to dissent or disagree from the alarmist narrative (which is what brings the media attention and grant money).
Curry: "The minute it becomes policy-relevant, there’s an insistence by certain people in power that people go along with and agree with the prevailing view; otherwise, you know, they lose funding. In some cases, you know, academics even lose their job. So, you know, it’s not a good thing. So, it’s mixing politics and science. Whenever you do that, what you get is politics, not science. It’s not science anymore; it’s become a pseudoscience. You know, the hardcore, physics-based climate dynamics, you know, such as what we had in the 1980s or whatever, I mean, that’s just a small sliver of what we now define as climate science. I mean, what the students are getting their PhDs in—they analyze the output of these climate models, looking for some sort of catastrophe that they can identify and write a paper on, without ever even, you know, critically evaluating these models or how they should be used. I mean, it’s just sort of nonsense, and it’s received so much funding."
Curry explains how she temporarily became a media darling because an early paper she wrote found hurricanes were increasing. But when she realized the conclusion was wrong for various reasons, everyone turned on her. And the real villain of climate science, major fraud Michael Mann ruined her career by labelling her a 'climate denier.' She left GA Tech for the private sector which she says is "a much more honest place to be."
She goes on to explain many of the other things wrong with so called 'climate science.' Very worth a read. [Anti-Science, Climate Change]

Jun 8, 2025 ~ 'Made-For-Court Climate Study Completely Fails Science Gold Standard' Climate science itself is junk science but a new branch of it called 'climate attribution studies' takes junk science the a new low. "the study, which was never peer-reviewed and uses a laughably absurd methodology developed by activists whose goal is to do the pseudo-science grunt work for climate change lawsuits against energy producers. Single events cannot be attributed to climate change. Nevertheless, the study goes far beyond the ridiculous in its attempt not only to pin blame solely on individual energy producers but to attach a specific dollar amount to each company. Using dubious assumptions and their unsound 'end-to-end' methodology, the authors cooked up an implausible correlation between individual companies and singular weather events alleged to have been caused or exacerbated by global warming. The bogus conclusions are then broken up into specific price tags and assigned to various energy producers." "Together, the study blames the world’s energy producers for $28 trillion in damages. It would be an understatement to say that neither the study, nor its underlying assumptions, nor its conclusions should be accorded any credibility."
"A more honest study would have acknowledged the truly beneficial role that energy plays in our economy and everyday lives. We depend on fossil fuel energy for everything from the quality of our lives to our national security. It is so dependable that we rarely even consider that everything we eat, wear, buy, or sell depends on energy. It’s there to take us places and to cool and heat our homes. Smart devices, paint, asphalt, and plastic containers are just a few objects in our daily lives made from petroleum. The study would be more credible if it concluded the truth: that fossil fuels have contributed trillions of dollars in value and made human flourishing possible."

"In light of recent open letters from academia and the arts criticising the UK's Supreme Court ruling on sex-based rights, it's possibly worth remembering that nobody sane believes, or has ever believed, that humans can change sex, or that binary sex isn't a material fact. These letters do nothing but remind us of what we know only too well: that pretending to believe these things has become an elitist badge of virtue. I often wonder whether the signatories of such letters have to quieten their consciences before publicly boosting a movement intent on removing women's and girls' rights, which bullies gay people who admit openly they don't want opposite sex partners, and campaigns for the continued sterilisation of vulnerable and troubled kids. Do they feel any qualms at all while chanting the foundational lie of their religion: Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men?"
Yet light is beginning to shine in: "Court losses are starting to stack up. The condescension, overreach, entitlement and aggression of gender activists is eroding public support daily. Women are fighting back and winning significant victories. Sporting bodies have miraculously awoken from their slumber and remembered that males tend to be larger, stronger and faster than females.

Mar 30, 2025 ~ 'Scientists Misreport Climate Cause of LA Wildfires' Very important video by Sabine Hossenfelder. A new pseudoscience has spun out of the pseudoscience of climate alarmism. So called 'attribution science' attempts to attribute climate events like hurricanes and fires to climate change. Amazingly, every extreme weather event that happens today is attributed to climate change even though their frequencies and severity have not increased over long time periods.
The ruse is accomplished by claiming not that the event was definitely caused by climate change but rather that it has been made 'more likely' by some significant amount. A study from "The World Weather Attribution Center" reported that the recent LA Wildfires were made 35% more likely by climate change. ALL of the #FakeNews organizations reported this result and governments try to react to what they think will help reduce these extreme events, like trying to implement 'net zero.'
However, these 'attribution studies' are garbage as Hossenfelder @skdh found out when she dug into it. Even using the study's own data, she finds "Those results are compatible with no effect at all. They didn’t find any reliable relation between the wildfire and climate change." But even though their study had a null result, the study authors said they have “high confidence” that fossil fuel is to blame for this particular fire. Which of course is the only kind of result that would get them any attention at all.
"This particular study is below even my already low expectations. Look, you all know I am not a climate scientist, I’m just some YouTuber who reads too many papers. I stand here thinking I should really keep my mouth shut. And I guess a lot of climate scientists think the same. But what the fuck? In any decent scientific discipline this 'result' would have been reported as 'not statistically significant' end of story."

Mar 23, 2025 ~ 'The downfall of climate change poster boy Michael Mann' Mann is a clown and fraud of epic proportions.
"The hockey stick, let us never forget, was promoted as the last nail in the coffin of climate skepticism. ‘It is hard to overestimate how influential this study has been,’ declared a BBC journalist, and on this rare occasion that BBC journalist was right. The hockey stick was cited frequently in the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report; it was used in support of the Kyoto treaty; it appeared in textbooks; it was quoted by politicians as proof that urgent action needed to be taken."
The hockey stick was junk science though. "The proxies he had used to recreate early temperatures (e.g. tree ring data) were unreliable; that his statistical methodology was flawed; that his algorithms were so corrupt that whatever data you input, you’d always get the same unscientific, politically driven hockey stick shape."
Most recently, he was found to have been lying in court. Multiple times. And so he owes a tremendous amount of money to the people he was suing for criticizing him.

Mar 16, 2025 ~ 'The Tables Turn on Michael Mann' Its a really bad day for Mann. "The Superior Court has ordered him to pay National Review more than $500,000 in attorneys’ fees under the D.C. anti-SLAPP law (including some for my own time early in the case). And just this week, the court took it a step further, finding that Mann and his lawyers had acted in bad faith and knowingly presented false evidence to the jury in an exhibit exaggerating the grant money that Mann had lost as a result of the alleged defamation. The court sanctioned Mann and his lawyers for the deliberate misrepresentation to the court and to the jury. At the same time, it reduced the amount of the punitive damages award (as it well should have under constitutional due process standards), from $1 million to a mere $5,000." All this was unnecessary and could have been avoided. Couldn't have happened to a nicer fraud. [Anti-Science, Climate Change]
Mar 15, 2025 ~ 'On XY in XX’s Sports, Whoopi G. Opens Her Mouth—and Removes All Doubt' Goldberg makes a fool of herself explaining that there is no reason for sports to be segregated by sex" "So, when you come in and you say, these are men competing against women, you’re assuming that the women are weak and just can’t do anything. Have you seen female athletes?! They know what they’re doing, so I’m not sure what’s going on or why this is an issue." [Anti-Science, Trans, Trans Athletes]
Mar 7, 2025 ~ Diana Alastair posted on X about trans poster child Avery Jackson. He was on the cover of National Geographic. Biden even celebrated him: I’m sure you all remember Avery Jackson, the “trans girl” who, at 9, was on the cover of National Geographic. Avery was given the gold standard in gender affirming care: he was chemically castrated and sterilized with “blockers” to hold off male puberty. Now, at age 17, Avery has come out as “nonbinary” — but that’s not the worst part. He also identifies as asexual, meaning that he doesn’t experience sexual attraction. This is undoubtedly the result of the medication used to delay male puberty; the president of WPATH, Dr, “Marci” Bowers, has said on camera that so-called puberty blockers, which are used to chemically castrate sex offenders, chemically castrate the young boys who take them as well, leaving them incapable of arousal or orgasm. For adult sex offenders, the process is reversible. For boys like Avery, the effects are permanent. He will never feel sexual attraction, or any of the experiences that accompany it. He is completely sterile; he can never father a child, and his own childhood was spent in the national spotlight. The blockers he was given have also stunted his growth and mental development in irreversible ways. All of these things were stolen from him, and he has said that transitioning “ruined my life.” It’s high time that we stop pretending that children can make an informed decision to transition or take blockers, even if their doctors are honest about the risks and consequences — which most are not. Blockers are not reversible: the intellectual deficits they cause will never repair themselves, and neither will the damage done to the child victim’s emotional intelligence and maturity. This will, of course, make it easier to push them into transitioning; ie, to sell them hormones and provide surgical alterations. Parents like Avery’s, who try to monetize their child’s struggles with gender identity, belong in prison, not on television, and so do the doctors who are complicit in his chemical castration and sterilization.
Very sad but all this was very foreseeable for those not in the cult of modern gender ideology. [Anti-Science, Trans]
Mar 7, 2025 ~ 'Trans surgeries increase risk of mental health conditions, suicidal ideations: study' Another devastating study revealing the long term effects of trans affirming care are very harmful. "The study focused on 107,583 patients 18 and over with gender dysphoria, some who underwent surgery and others who did not."
"They determined rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and substance-use disorders were 'significantly higher' among those who underwent surgery, assessed two years later." Significantly, this is the opposite of what he have always heard from modern gender ideologues. We were told they needed the surgery for better mental health but the surgeries create worse mental health results.
And how could they not? The results are often horrific and ongoingly painful. They become essentially undatable, sterile and incapable of sexual enjoyment. [Anti-Science, Health Care, Trans]
Mar 4, 2025 ~ Bill Nye the anti-science guy goes on #FakeNews CNN to claim that hurricanes are getting more frequent and "forest fires in the Carolinas didn't use to be a thing." These are ridiculous lies even by #FakeNews standards. Not even close to being the truth. Hurricanes are not getting more frequent and the largest wildfire in the SC's history was in 1976. 5,000 wildfires occur in SC in a typical year. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Fake News]
Mar 3, 2025 ~ "‘They Failed Him’ — Cross Sex Hormones Killed Her Gender-Confused Son" "Despite having a family history of blood clotting disorders, a gender clinic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania put Dominick on estrogen after just one visit." Cause of death was "pulmonary embolism." "“There is strong evidence that estrogen therapy for trans women increases their risk for venous thromboembolism over 5 fold.” It is clinical malpractice to pump the wrong hormones (or puberty blockers) into a healthy body.

Feb 26, 2025 ~ 'Maine legislature censures Rep. Laurel Libby for pointing out trans athlete who won girls' competition' Incredible. Maine has silenced Libby for speaking out about biological males still competing (and winning) in girls sports in Maine. ""I was completely unable, from my first sentence, to get a word out, before the other side was shutting me down." Her speaking and voting rights will not be re-instated until she apologizes but she has no intention of doing so. Despite Trump's EO banning males in female sports, Democrats are determined to destroy women's sports anyway. And they allow no dissent about it. Attorney General Bondi is planning legal action.

Feb 25, 2025 ~ Benjamin Ryan, "Speaking about pediatric gender medicine with @BillMaher on @PodSaveAmerica, @JonLovett claims that “study after study shows that gender-affirming care saves lives.” This is false. There is no such study. Only one study has ever assessed the direct association between using cross-sex hormones to treat gender dysphoria in youth and an independent, statistically significant difference in the suicide death rate. The study, conducted in Finland and published a year ago, found no such association." [Anti-Science, Trans]
Feb 23, 2025 ~ 'How Al Gore Silenced Bill Gray' "Few names in the field of hurricane forecasting command as much respect as Dr. William 'Bill' Gray. A pioneer in tropical meteorology, Gray led the field in hurricane research for decades. His work at Colorado State University laid the foundation for modern hurricane forecasting, saving countless lives with accurate seasonal predictions. Yet, despite his contributions to science, Gray became a target of Al Gore’s climate crusade. His crime? Daring to question the mainstream climate narrative that Gore and the climate-industrial complex have worked so hard to manufacture."
"Gray himself noted in a 2006 Denver Post interview that the climate change hysteria was based on politics, not science. He warned that grant-driven research was steering the field away from honest inquiry and toward predetermined conclusions designed to support policy goals rather than scientific truth."
"According to Gray, he was bluntly told by colleagues that his skepticism had made him a liability. Without funding, his ability to continue his research and train new generations of hurricane forecasters was severely hampered. This wasn’t just about punishing Gray; it was a warning shot to the entire atmospheric science community: Dissent from the climate dogma, and your career will be over."
"I know this firsthand because I experienced a very similar reality. As my thoughts on climate have evolved, I found myself increasingly at odds with the rigid orthodoxy surrounding climate science. The moment I began questioning the prevailing narrative, I saw the same pattern unfold, colleagues distancing themselves, funding opportunities evaporating, and an unspoken message that challenging climate alarmism was a career-ending move. Bill Gray’s story was not an anomaly; it was a blueprint for enforcing conformity in climate science, and I, like many others, learned that lesson the hard way."
"The message was clear: If one of the most respected names in meteorology could be sidelined for questioning climate orthodoxy, what hope did younger scientists, like myself, have?" [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Silencing]
Feb 8, 2025 ~ 'Trump Just Dealt A Massive Death Blow To Gender Ideology' Trump passes the 'PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CHEMICAL AND SURGICAL MUTILATION' Executive Order.
"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."
"Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding. Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization."
"Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called 'transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures."
Trump's EO will save countless children from making tragic, costly and irreversible mistakes in their youth. [Anti-Science, Trans, Trump Win]
