Audio recording confirms hospital performs hysterectomies on children

If you’re not following Libs of Tik Tok, then you are really missing out on some of the finest conservative activism you are ever going to see. Last week, she posted videos made by one children’s hospital, in which they explained how they perform sex-change surgeries on children. This week, she called another children’s hospital and she has audio and screen grabs confirming that they do, too.

Here is the what she wrote:

Last week, I was viciously attacked by the media for raising awareness about Boston Children’s Hospital offering gender-affirming hysterectomies for young girls. Left-wing activists called for me to be banned from social media for drawing attention to a practice Boston Children’s Hospital was publicly advertising. The attacks lasted for a week. They gaslit the public and denied that these types of procedures were being performed on children. According to the media, I was baselessly stoking anti-trans outrage and therefore deserved to be silenced.

Undeterred, I decided to focus on finding out if other children’s hospitals were engaged in these barbaric practices, too. That’s when I stumbled across Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. Scrolling through their site, I came across a page which says the hospital treats young patients between the ages of 0 and 21 for gynecology care and gender-affirming medical treatments, including hysterectomies.

[…]Hysterectomies — whether for gender-affirming reasons or not — are not reversible and will render the patient permanently unable to bear children.

I looked at her screen grab of the hospital web site, and was able to confirm her screen grab at this archive site. The archived snapshot is dated May 31, 2022. It says lists hysterectomy under the “gender affirming” services they provide to people aged 0-21.  As she points out, they scrubbed the site as soon as they got caught. And they will probably have a fact check from Politifact, written by an English major, who will claim that the web site never said that.

Before I posted about this story, I double-checked the details on a mainstream news site, Fox News. They confirmed the story.

Boston Children’s Hospital

Libs of Tik Tok’s previous big story was about Boston Children’s Hospital and their “gender-affirming”. If you haven’t seen the story and the videos that were made by the hospital, and put out there for the public to know what they do, you should see it.

That story was confirmed by Daily Wire. Again, I expect an English major at Politifact to contact the hospital, tell them to change their web site, then issue a “fact check” claiming that the web site doesn’t say that. And then Facebook and YouTube and Twitter will ban anyone who talks about what the web site said before it was scrubbed at the request of the far left “fact checker”.

Münchausen syndrome by proxy

Right now, we are living in a world where selfish adults conceive of children in environments that are not optimal for children.

Just take a look at this story from The Post Millennial:

Recent reporting from Reduxx magazine on the 10-year-old “youngest trans model” has uncovered revealing information about the child’s family. Noella McMaher, a trans-identified male, belongs to two trans-identified female parents, who additionally have a nonbinary “theybie.”

[…]Reduxx reported on information collected from a now private social media profile, that Noella’s biological mother, Dee McMaher, is “a social justice advocate who identifies as non-binary, appears to be on hormone replacement therapy, and recently had a cosmetic mastectomy.”

McMaher, 35, and her partner Ray, 32, recently wed in 2019. Ray is a biological female who also identifies as transgender and works in “LGBTQ health justice,” according to Reduxx. They describe Noella beginning his transition at age 4, where they began referring to him as a girl and dressing him in girls’ clothing.

Noella was 4 when his mother said she brought him to therapy at the gender development clinic at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. During the sessions, Noella told a gender counselor he was a “girl” and by age 6, his legal documentation was already changed.

Where’s the father?

McMaher has stated in an interview for Chicago Parent that she plans for Noella to have “gender surgeries” at age 16, but would start the child on puberty blockers and hormone therapy before then.

[…]The “hate crime” – as the individual who wrote Noella’s profile refers to – is about the biological father, who was against Noella’s transition.

What’s really going on here?

[…]Sinead Watson, a prominent voice of the detransitioner community, spoke to Reduxx about the situation with Noella. “That this child parents both happen to be ‘trans’ or ‘queer’ is no surprise to me. They are forcing their own ideological ideas onto their innocent baby,” she said.

“As with the social contagion among vulnerable children, we’re seeing more and more parents with Münchausen syndrome by proxy. It’s not the kids who are trans – it’s the parents who want them to be trans,” added Watson.

When I read stories like this, I understand that the secular left has thrown out the entire concept of morality. After all, if you vote for infanticide, child mutilation, stripping parents of child custody for disagreeing with permanent damage to their children, etc. then you have left morality behind. How do people on the secular left expect to marry and have children, if they have no concept of right and wrong? Pity their children.

I really hope that Republicans pass laws allowing children who regret what selfish adults did to them to sue them for everything they have.

Ron DeSantis and Moms for Liberty got conservatives to take over Florida school boards

I’m keeping a close eye on Florida to see what sort of conservative resume Ron DeSantis is building ahead of the 2024 presidential elections. This time, DeSantis fixed his sights on the woke public school system, endorsing 30 conservative school board candidates. Out of those 30, 25 of them won – including in some heavily Democrat areas like Miami-Dade and Hillsborough.

I saw an article in the Tallahassee Democrat about this story, and they called DeSantis’ involvement in these school board elections “unprecedented”:

Gov. Ron DeSantis took unprecedented steps to influence Florida’s nonpartisan school board races this year and largely was successful, with 25 of his 30 endorsed candidates winning or advancing to a runoff.

[…]DeSantis flipped school boards in some counties that had left-leaning majorities, shifting them into solid conservative territory.

[…]DeSantis-endorsed candidates also won in Democratic counties such as Miami-Dade and Hillsborough where school boards defied the governor on issues such as mask mandates.

Instead of firing off mean tweets, or crudely insulting other conservatives, DeSantis worked hard to get other conservatives elected in Democrat-infested areas:

Both Sarasota and Duval counties will now have conservative board majorities after DeSantis weighed in heavily on those races. The governor held rallies in both Sarasota and Jacksonville on Sunday. All five of his endorsed school board candidates won in the two counties.

[…]DeSantis worked to boost GOP turnout with his aggressive campaigning in school board races, helping to counteract the fact that Republicans didn’t have any competitive statewide races to bring GOP voters out. DeSantis’ political campaign paid for campaign mailers for his endorsed candidates and he barnstormed the state Sunday, hosting a series of rallies to boost their campaigns.

DeSantis has been pushing back against critical race theory, transgender indoctrination and COVID mandates for children. He also introduced mandatory teaching about the historical record of communism. Communism has a terrible historical record.

The article also mentioned Moms for Liberty, a group that works to get conservatives elected on school boards across the USA:

Not only did DeSantis have a good night Tuesday with his school board picks, but a conservative group that launched last year in Florida to influence school politics also scored some big wins.

Moms for Liberty supported nearly 60 candidates in 24 counties with endorsements, campaign donations, or both. Many of their picks were also endorsed by DeSantis.

[…]Of the 59 candidates, 23 candidates in 14 counties won their races, 12 got enough votes to advance to runoff elections, and 24 lost, according to an analysis by the USA Today Network – Florida. That means more than half — 59% — of the candidates Moms for Liberty supported either won or advanced to the General Election.

I’ve been trying to shop at Publix more and more, now that Walmart and Amazon are increasingly far-left.

OK, that’s enough about DeSantis’ latest achievements. Let me talk about some of his previous achievements below.

DeSantis has already signed bills to:

Many cynical people like to say that there isn’t much difference between Republicans and Democrats on social issues. But those people aren’t following the legislation. If you watch the legislation, Republicans do a lot for social conservatives.

Keep an eye on DeSantis. He is building achievements in the teeth of opposition from leftist schools, leftist corporations, and leftist news media. My preference is to support candidates who achieve results over the opposition of their enemies. I don’t much care for how good a candidate is a snarky  insults. I want results.

Ryan T. Anderson lectures on marriage and why it matters

Here’s the lecture:

About the speaker:

Ryan T. Anderson researches and writes about marriage and religious liberty as the William E. Simon Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. He also focuses on justice and moral principles in economic thought, health care and education, and has expertise in bioethics and natural law theory.

Anderson, who joined the leading Washington think tank’s DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society in 2012, also is the editor of Public Discourse, the online journal of the Witherspoon Institute of Princeton, N.J.

Anderson’s recent work at Heritage focuses on the constitutional questions surrounding same-sex “marriage.” He is the co-author with Princeton’s Robert P. George and Sherif Girgis of the acclaimed book “What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense” (Encounter Books, December 2012).

The lecture starts at 7:20 in. The lecture ends at 49:35. There are 32 minutes of Q&A.

Introduction:

  • When talking about marriage in public, we should talk about philosophy, sociology and public policy
  • Gay marriage proponents need to be pressed to define what marriage is, on their view
  • Every definition of marriage is going to include some relationships, and exclude others
  • It’s meaningless to portray one side as nice and the other mean
  • Typically, marriage redefiners view marriage as a more intense emotional relationship
  • Marriage redefiners should be challenged in three ways:
  • 1) Does the redefined version of marriage have a public policy reason to prefer only two people?
  • 2) Does the redefined version of marriage have a reason to prefer permanence?
  • 3) Does the redefined version of marriage have a reason to prefer sexual exclusivity?
  • Also, if marriage is just about romance, then why is the state getting involved in recognizing it?
  • The talk: 1) What marriage is, 2) Why marriage matters, 3) What are the consequences of redefining marriage?

What marriage is:

  • Marriage unites spouses – hearts, minds and bodies
  • Marriage unites spouses to perform a good: creating a human being and raising that human being
  • Marriage is a commitment: permanent and exclusive
  • Male and female natures are distinct and complementary

The public purpose of marriage:

  • to attach men and women to each other
  • to attach mothers and fathers to their children
  • there is no such thing as parenting, there is only mothering and fathering
  • the evidence shows that children benefit from mothering and fathering
  • boys who grow up without fathers are more likely to commit crimes
  • girls who grow up without fathers are more likely to have sex earlier
  • Children benefit from having a mother and a father
  • can’t say that fathers are essential for children if we support gay marriage, which makes fathers optional
  • without marriage: child poverty increases, crime increases, social mobility decreases, welfare spending increases
  • when government encourages marriage, then government has less do to – stays smaller, spends less
  • if we promote marriage as an idea, we are not excluding gay relationships or even partner benefits
  • finally, gay marriage has shown itself to be hostile to religious liberty

Consequences redefining marriage:

  • it undermines the norm in public like that kids deserve a mom and a dad – moms and dads are interchangeable
  • it changes the institution of marriage away from the needs of children, and towards the needs of adults
  • it undermines the norm of permanence
  • we learned what happens when marriage is redefined before: with no-fault divorce
  • no-fault divorce: after this became law, divorce rates doubled – the law changed society
  • gay marriage would teach society that mothers and fathers are optional when raising children
  • if marriage is what people with intense feelings do, then how can you rationally limit marriage to only two people?
  • if marriage is what people with intense feelings do, then if other people cause intense feelings, there’s no fidelity
  • if marriage is what people with intense feelings do, then if the feelings go away, there is no permanence
  • the public policy consequences to undermining the norms of exclusivity and permanence = fatherless children and fragmented families
  • a final consequences is the decline and elimination of religious liberty – e.g. – adoption agencies closing, businesses being sued

We’re doing very well on abortion, but we need to get better at knowing how to discuss marriage. If you’re looking for something short to read, click here. If you want to read a long paper that his book is based on.
