At a House subcommittee hearing, members of Congress and witnesses showed how the Biden administration is allowing sexually graphic books in school libraries in the name of opposition to “book banning.” “[None] of the evidence suggests books are being removed for any reason other than inappropriate, explicit content,” said Rep. Aaron Bean, R-FL, on Thursday.

Republican Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued an executive order Thursday striking pro-LGBTQ language from government documents. Sanders argued that the language undermined women and motherhood. “It’s the Left that decided that woman is a dirty word,” Sanders stated. “It’s the Left that decided that we needed to toss out basic biology – and basic grammar along with it.”

A recent ruling has made Michigan the only state in the union to mandate that judges address attorneys, plaintiffs, and defendants in court by their “preferred pronouns.” Reuters reported last week that the Michigan Supreme Court voted 5-2 to approve the change. The new rule will go into effect in 2024.

Transgender issues have been likened to a contemporary version of lobotomy. However, unlike historical cases, today we have factions like Democrats and liberals who support surgical interventions for individuals with mental health conditions in the name of "honoring" and "accepting" their self-identified genders. It's concerning that identities can sometimes be shaped solely by unreliable online sources. It's crucial to consider alternatives and provide these individuals with genuine therapeutic support instead.

The California Legislature is considering two bills that, if enacted, would severely limit the rights of parents to raise their children in the state. The text of AB 957 states that it “would include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.” AB 665 would allow a minor as young as 12 to be emancipated from his or her parents and transferred into state custody without a court order.

“A local school board president in California has been inundated with threats that left-wing activists will dismember her, kill her children, and slaughter her pets,” writes Fr. Ben Johnson. “Her crime? Saying that teachers should not keep parents in the dark if their children begin to ‘identify’ as transgender.”

The gender party controls everyone and everything. They don’t need to provide any evidence that what they do is good. There is no debate. It is a fact because the party deems it so. Everyone must believe this. The gender party is a force for good, lifesaving even. And woe to those who ask for a shred of evidence or express a hint of doubt. The gender party will try to ruin you and take away the one thing you are trying to protect, your child.

Best-selling author and human rights activist Helen Joyce is speaking out about parents who facilitate their children’s irreversibly damaging medical “transitions.” “You can’t talk truth in front of that person,” Joyce said. “And you know you can’t because what you're saying is: ‘You as a parent have done a truly, like, a human-rights-abuse level of awful thing to your own child that can not be fixed.”
