Some of the most powerful voices speaking out against the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">transgender movement</a> come from individuals who have transitioned in the past and now regret it. Recently, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada">Canadian</a> YouTube personality Lauren Southern interviewed one such person who transitioned from female to male and then back again.
Southern <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBCF2u-up6w&amp;t=80s">interviewed</a> a family friend named Sarah, who explained her journey of becoming one of many people tricked into believing she was trans.
Sarah began by saying she looked up to her dad as a child and like so many other young girls who used to be classified as “tomboys,” she didn’t like things that society typically deems feminine. She explained how as a child, she loved motorcycles and video games and even “wanted to grow a beard” to look like her father. 
“I never really wanted Barbies or dresses or any of the things people would try to push on me as a girl,” Sarah tells Southern.
She mentioned how puberty was a turning point, especially because she had so many friends who were boys. Sarah felt uncomfortable being looked at differently by members of the opposite sex. 
“I didn’t go through therapy,” she explained. “I was kinda like, yeah I wanna be a guy. I think I’m a guy.” 
Southern asked how Sarah’s trans journey began. Sarah recalled how in “late elementary or early high school,” a trans person came into her school to talk about their experience and describe how kids who feel like they don’t fit in may actually be trans. 
Following that school presentation, Sarah said she went to her mom and said, “Hey. I think I’m a boy.”  
Next, she went to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital, where Sarah said she was told she’d need to undergo therapy to be prescribed hormones. But she claimed that wasn’t “true” and she just found “another source” — a youth clinic — to get the hormones because she couldn’t afford a therapist.

At the clinic, Sarah said they briefly asked if there could be any other factors contributing to her dysphoria. She said they didn’t push too hard and she was 15 and therefore thought she knew her own mind. “I wanted what I wanted,” Sarah explained.
“I genuinely felt what the community describes as dysphoria,” she continued. “You’re putting that huge decision in a child’s hands,” Sarah said, getting visibly emotional. “They can change their minds, but when they do … “
Sarah recalled going on testosterone at 15 and going for a “top surgery” consultation at 16. The doctors allegedly said they had an opening in one month and pressured her to take the spot or risk waiting a long time for the opportunity. Sarah said the top surgery was completely free of charge to her as the patient.
After describing her experience with antidepressants, Sarah said, “A lot of things have more consequences than we could ever know.” She said it’s a lie to pitch puberty blockers as harmless and reversible.
Even after fearing she’d made a mistake, Sarah said she felt it was “too late to go back” because she’d already been on hormones and living as male for years. She said support for people looking to detransition was almost non-existent, which stood in stark contrast to the community she found when beginning her trans journey.
“Anytime anyone hears that I’m detransitioning, they don’t want to have anything to do with me,” she said. 
Sarah described all the things she has to do to reclaim her womanly features. Unlike the surgeries to transition, the procedures to detransition are costly, Sarah said. She mentioned laser hair removal and voice surgery, plus rebuilding her breasts post-mastectomy. 
“I just want to get to a point where I don’t look in the mirror and want to cry when I see myself,” she told Southern.
Next, Sarah described how she was embraced into the trans community back when she wanted to become a boy, but said there was nothing but silence and “awkwardness” when she decided to detransition. She described herself as an extremely shy person but feels it’s important to share her story for others like her who may regret transitioning.
“It does make it hard if it’s labeled as hate speech, because it’s not,” she said.  
In conclusion, Sarah delivered a powerful message to any young people who identify as trans and are thinking of going on hormones and getting surgeries. “You can rush into this, but you can’t rush out,” she warned. “They will coax you in, they will be there for you, but the moment you change your mind, there’s … I thought there was nobody. I was in such a dark place. I really don’t want to see anyone in that dark place.”
And for detransitioners, Sarah offered words of support. “You probably feel very, very alone right now … but you are loved, you’re not alone,” she said. “The best people I’ve met in life are the people who’ve gone through hell.”

Video from May 2021 has gone viral online of a liberal <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317023/?ref_=nm_mv_close" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actress</a> saying she developed <a href="https://www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/is-there-a-link-between-bells-palsy-and-covid-19-vaccines/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bell&#8217;s palsy</a> after getting a COVID vaccine, but would &#8220;do it again.&#8221;
Jennifer Gibson, known for her work in &#8220;A Dog&#8217;s Way Home&#8221; and &#8220;Suits,&#8221; developed partial facial paralysis in 2021 and has spoken out about her experience, while still encouraging others to get the vax.
&#8220;Well this is not a video I want to make, and it&#8217;s kinda hard to make, because, as I&#8217;m watching myself I see what I&#8217;m gonna say, which is I have been diagnosed with Bell&#8217;s palsy, which is paralysis on one side of the face,&#8221; Gibson said in a now viral video.
&#8220;So, I got it about two weeks after getting my vaccine, and I had a rough go with the vaccine — and I guess still am — but I have to say that I would do it again,&#8221; the actress continued, &#8220;because it&#8217;s what we have to do to see people.&#8221;
The video, which was first posted to Gibson&#8217;s public Instagram page last year, has racked up more than 2.1 million views on a Thursday tweet.
On her Instagram account, where she&#8217;s describes herself as an &#8220;inclusive feminist,&#8221; Gibson captioned the video, &#8220;I’ve had many people follow this page after their own <a class="qi72231t nu7423ey n3hqoq4p r86q59rh b3qcqh3k fq87ekyn bdao358l fsf7x5fv rse6dlih s5oniofx m8h3af8h l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk srn514ro oxkhqvkx rl78xhln nch0832m cr00lzj9 rn8ck1ys s3jn8y49 icdlwmnq _aa9_ _a6hd" role="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/diagnosis/">#diagnosis</a>, so I’m sharing this video hoping it gives them optimism. My symptoms got worse after this video.&#8221;
&#8220;I was considered a severe case, and I am almost back to ‘normal’. (Whatever that is…) I didn’t see any improvement for about a month and I got really discouraged, so I hope this can help someone. <a class="qi72231t nu7423ey n3hqoq4p r86q59rh b3qcqh3k fq87ekyn bdao358l fsf7x5fv rse6dlih s5oniofx m8h3af8h l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk srn514ro oxkhqvkx rl78xhln nch0832m cr00lzj9 rn8ck1ys s3jn8y49 icdlwmnq _aa9_ _a6hd" role="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/bellspalsy/">#bellspalsy</a> <a class="qi72231t nu7423ey n3hqoq4p r86q59rh b3qcqh3k fq87ekyn bdao358l fsf7x5fv rse6dlih s5oniofx m8h3af8h l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk srn514ro oxkhqvkx rl78xhln nch0832m cr00lzj9 rn8ck1ys s3jn8y49 icdlwmnq _aa9_ _a6hd" role="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/recovery/">#recovery</a>,&#8221; she continued.
Gibson received a variety of comments on the post, including one woman who said she developed partial facial paralysis too. &#8220;I was just recently diagnosed with Bell&#8217;s Palsy,&#8221; the comment said. &#8220;I had the booster shot 3 Pfizer weeks ago. From what my doctor said and the little research that is out there, there is no known cause to [Bell&#8217;s palsy]. Since it&#8217;s temporary and not life-threatening very little money goes towards research to learn more about it. I am not blaming the vaccine and like you I still encourage it. Since it can happen to anyone at any age, some get it twice, some women get it during pregnancy, there is no common thread of causes nor a specific solution. I&#8217;m wondering if you still think it was a vaccine reaction? You look great and I hope to have a great recovery like yours.&#8221;

Speaking to Toronto City News in May 2021, Gibson said she wanted to speak &#8220;responsibly&#8221; about COVID vaccines.
&#8220;I wanted to talk about it responsibly,&#8221; she said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to discourage people from getting vaccines, and, strangely, I don&#8217;t really want to discourage them from getting this one.&#8221;
The actress said she started to see changes in her face about two weeks after her shot, and her doctor confirmed Gibson had developed Bell&#8217;s palsy.
One reason she got the vaccine, Gibson said, was because she &#8220;wanted to get back to real life.&#8221;
&#8220;I have friends who are fighting cancer and they can&#8217;t get their treatments,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;Now, I can say definitively, yeah, there is a downside,&#8221; the actress added.
In May 2021, Gibson shared a photo of her facial paralysis with her followers. &#8220;Sorry for the shocking pic, but this is my face right now,&#8221; she captioned the photo. &#8220;I’ve been diagnosed with <a class="qi72231t nu7423ey n3hqoq4p r86q59rh b3qcqh3k fq87ekyn bdao358l fsf7x5fv rse6dlih s5oniofx m8h3af8h l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk srn514ro oxkhqvkx rl78xhln nch0832m cr00lzj9 rn8ck1ys s3jn8y49 icdlwmnq _aa9_ _a6hd" role="link" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/bellspalsy/">#bellspalsy</a> and the left side of my face is paralyzed. Lots of feels and lots to say, but the most important thing is I’m working on healing and I have every hope to recover fully. I’m going to keep a bit of a recovery journal here, so thanks for your support.&#8221;

Some studies have appeared to show that there could be an association between Bell&#8217;s palsy and certain COVID vaccinations. One <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8367190/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal showed an &#8220;overall increased risk of Bell&#8217;s palsy after immunisation with CoronaVac (Sinovac Biotech)&#8221; though it described the risk as small.

The Left is having a reckoning abroad.
In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/conservative-giorgia-meloni-claims-victory-as-italys-first-female-prime-minister" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Europe</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/brazilian-prez-bolsonaro-drags-dicaprio-again-i-know-progressives-you-want-to-change-the-entire-world-but-never-yourselves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South America</a>, a wave of elected officials, all with at least some conservative policies, have soared to victory and taken the reigns in the upper tiers of government.
The pendulum swing comes to the chagrin of their leftist opponents, who would prefer to keep any politician with a single conservative policy out of power.
These five newly-minted leaders are taking on the leftist political players in their countries.
<h3>Italy: Giorgia Meloni</h3>
On Monday, Giorgia Meloni claimed victory as Italy&#8217;s first female prime minister, to the chagrin of Italy&#8217;s left.
She led her party, Brothers of Italy to victory with a platform that was staunchly pro-NATO, pro-Italy, and cautiously <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-22/italy-front-runner-meloni-says-eu-is-wrong-to-antagonize-hungary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critical</a> of the European Union.
Meloni, 45, is a Catholic mother who has also passionately emphasized family values, condemning abortion, gay marriage, child gender transitions, and euthanasia.
&#8220;Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightening?&#8221; Meloni <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_Z1LClnhsk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> in 2019 while speaking to the World Congress of Families conference.
&#8220;I can&#8217;t define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother, no,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I must be citizen x, gender x, parent one, parent two. I must be a number. Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators, the perfect consumer.&#8221;
When her victory appeared imminent, Meloni was <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/italy-giorgia-meloni-far-right-nationalist-prime-minister-mussolini-rcna48506" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attacked</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2022/sep/24/giorgia-meloni-is-a-danger-to-italy-and-the-rest-of-europe-far-right" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as a</a> &#8220;far-right nationalist,&#8221; and &#8220;a danger to Italy and the rest of Europe.&#8221;
Meloni is a member of the Chamber of Deputies in Italy and has also chaired the European Conservative and Reformist group in the European Parliament. Her victory comes as Italy continues to recover from the pandemic and struggles with spiking food and gas prices.
<h3>Britain: Liz Truss</h3>
British Prime Minister Liz Truss, while not as right-wing as Meloni, has embraced several fiscally conservative policies that have irritated her left-wing opponents.
The Conservative Party leader, 47, has pushed for a robust economic agenda that includes aggressive tax cuts and slashing regulation.
Truss became the United Kingdom&#8217;s prime minister on Sep. 6. Before she had been on the job for even two days, Queen Elizabeth II died, plunging the country into official mourning and marking a tumultuous start for Truss.
After the mourning period ended, Truss on Friday debuted her plan to cut $48 billion in taxes. Also on Friday, the Conservative Party government scratched a corporate tax hike and lowered the basic income tax rate to 19%.
“For too long, politicians have fought over how to slice up the economic pie,” Truss wrote Saturday in an <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11246335/LIZ-TRUSS-long-politicians-fought-slice-economic-pie.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">op-ed</a> for The Daily Mail. “We will focus instead on growing the pie to the benefit of families and businesses.”
She has already been <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/28/europe/uk-truss-crisis-labour-starmer-gbr-intl-cmd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of pushing &#8220;radical policies&#8221; and of <a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2022/09/liz-truss-moral-right-prime-minister" target="_blank" rel="noopener">having</a> &#8220;no moral right to be prime minister.&#8221;
Truss is a former Liberal Democrat and <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/2022/9/5/23332419/liz-truss-uk-prime-minister-conservative-leadership-brexit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supported</a> Brexit before leaving the party and changing her view.
<h3>Brazil: Jair Bolsonaro</h3>
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is much further to the right than Meloni or Truss, but he is still significant right-wing presence internationally.
The conservative populist and political outsider, or &#8220;Tropical Trump&#8221; as he is sometimes <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2020/11/27/tropical-trump-where-will-brazils-bolsonaro-stand-with-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nicknamed</a>, was elected in 2018 and ran on a platform of bringing order back to a corrupt Brazil. His views have been frequently <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/brazil-presidential-election-who-jair-bolsonaro-popular-candidate-more-dangerous-ncna925011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called out</a> for being significantly harder-right than those of the American right, including <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/20180930-brazil-presidential-candidate-bolsonaros-most-controversial-quotes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a string</a> of discriminatory comments. At the same time though, he has rejected left-wing social values.
Bolsonaro, 67, is up for reelection in October and is currently trailing in the polls to his left-wing opponent, although the gap appears to be shrinking.
In his July reelection campaign launch, Bolsonaro emphasized law and order and family values.
“Today we have a president who believes in God; represents the military and police; believes in the family,” Bolsonaro told the crowd, some of whom shouted &#8220;mito&#8221; or legend.
Like several other right-wing leaders, Bolsonaro has been <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220816-bolsonaro-brazil-s-polarizing-far-right-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> &#8220;far-right&#8221; by critics.
Despite his conservative brand, Bolsonaro has also <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/08/31/906215778/coronavirus-hit-brazil-considers-major-public-funds-for-poor-and-unemployed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed</a> for generous government assistance to Brazil&#8217;s poor, a move that <a href="http://media.folha.uol.com.br/datafolha/2020/08/14/da7301f937d9224fe7ddf4cc81bcdf87ab.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boosted</a> his approval in the dog days of the pandemic.
<h3>Hungary: Viktor Orban</h3>
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has the longest presence on the world stage out of these five political leaders.
Like Bolsonaro, Orban has been criticized for having extremely hard-right tendencies and holding discriminatory views. Critics have <a href="https://www.euractiv.com/section/ukraine/news/orban-is-the-poor-mans-putin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dubbed</a> him &#8220;the poor man&#8217;s Vladimir Putin&#8221; and have slammed him for curtailing the press and damaging judicial independence.
However, while other European countries have found themselves in crisis after accepting waves of immigrants, Orban has stringently restricted immigration into Hungary. He has also encouraged families to grow by offering generous government support.
Orban won his last election with a slight majority of 52.5%, more than he won by in both 2018 and 2014.
In August, he delivered a speech at CPAC during which he came out swinging against &#8220;globalists.&#8221;
“The globalists can all go to hell,” Orbán said to applause.
“Politics are not enough,” Orbán said. “This war is a culture war. We have to revitalize our churches, our families, our universities and our community institutions.”
<h3>Canada: Pierre Poilievre</h3>
Pierre Poilievre may not be Prime Minister, but he was elected leader of Canada’s Conservative Party earlier this month.
The fiery new party leader was elected in a landslide 68-16% vote over his more moderate opponent.
“Tonight begins the journey to replace an old government that costs you more and delivers you less with a new government that puts you first, your paycheck, your retirement, your home, your country,” Poilievre <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGn-E826dAU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vowed</a> to applause and chants of “Freedom!” during his victory speech.
Poilievre, an energetic firebrand populist, has aggressively taken aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s progressive agenda. Now, the newly-minted Conservative leader is positioned to be a thorn in Trudeau’s side at the very least and a formidable force that hobbles the Liberal Party prime minister’s agenda at most.
Earlier this year, Poilievre voiced <a href="https://twitter.com/pierrepoilievre/status/1488264488457367552" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support</a> for the anti-vaccine mandate trucker convoy that blocked the U.S.-Canada border. His election comes as Canadians look back on over two years of draconian COVID restrictions that have harmed Canada’s post-pandemic economic recovery.

The leading transgender health association suggested at a conference last week that &#8220;chemical castration&#8221; and &#8220;gender-affirming&#8221; care can be synonymous in the context of eunuchs.
In a live-streamed session on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health&#8217;s new controversial “Eunuch” chapter, an endocrinologist described the prescription of GnRH analogues, or puberty blockers, and hormones — when given to &#8220;eunuch&#8221; patients — as “chemical castration.” When a child takes puberty blockers at the first signs of puberty and moves on to cross-sex hormones, they will be <a href="https://www.transgendertrend.com/puberty-blockers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sterilized</a>. Still, advocates have rejected the process being described as “chemical castration,” instead opting for the euphemism “gender-affirming care.”
“So before getting castrated physically, you can actually do a chemical castration, kind of, as a trial,” said Dr. Michael Irwig, an endocrinologist who contributed to the chapter. He said he&#8217;s treated two people who identify as eunuchs.
The comments came amid the debut of new <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26895269.2022.2100644" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Standards of Care guidelines</a>, which included the unprecedented addition of a chapter that seeks to include “eunuch” under the “transgender umbrella.&#8221; The inclusion of eunuchs may make it easier for candidates to access castration to “affirm” their “gender identity.”
Irwig said a chemical cocktail of hormones and blockers can be used to chemically castrate eunuchs. He did not explicitly say whether dosages for the gender-affirming care of &#8220;eunuchs&#8221; would be the same as for the treatment of gender dysphoric minors.
“So there are ways to suppress testosterone levels, through hormonal suppression, to explore the effects of androgen deficiency for eunuch individuals wishing to become, for example, asexual or nonsexual or androgynous,” said Irwig.
Endocrinologist Dr. Mike Laidlaw told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> that “chemical castration” is, effectively, when a medication like Lupron is used to stop the pituitary from communicating with the testicles or ovaries to drastically lower sex hormone levels. It is no different from the “gender affirming care” given to adolescents, Laidlaw said.
“It’s just that the effects are more dramatic, and I would say more dangerous, in puberty,” said Laidlaw.
WPATH did not respond to The Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment.
In April, Politifact issued a <a href="https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/apr/17/mary-miller/rep-mary-miller-says-white-house-encouraging-kids-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fact-check</a> of Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) after she said the Biden administration was encouraging the chemical castration of minors. The organization rated her statement as “false.”
“Experts we spoke with said [chemical castration] is not a medical term and not commonly used by medical professionals, but generally seems to be used to describe hormone therapy,” Politifact wrote.
Politifact then claimed puberty blockers are approved by the FDA, which is not entirely true. While gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are approved for other uses, the FDA has not approved puberty blockers for their off-label use to treat gender dysphoria. Off label, doctors have prescribed puberty blockers as a “treatment” for gender dysphoria, given during adolescence – a period of rapid growth and development – on an experimental basis. There are no long-term studies to support its use in this context.
The FDA recently issued a <a href="https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/20636/Risk-of-pseudotumor-cerebri-added-to-labeling-for?autologincheck=redirected" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warning</a> for GnRH agonists after having identified a serious potential side effect for some that may cause a dangerous surge of spinal fluid pressure in the brain. This build-up can cause headaches, nausea, double vision, and even permanent vision loss.
GnRH agonists, sold under the brand name Lupron, among others, are only <a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2018/020708s035lbl.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FDA approved</a> for endometriosis, fibroids, precocious puberty, and as a chemotherapy drug for prostate cancer. It is also sometimes used to perform chemical castration of violent sex offenders.
The inclusion of the eunuch gender identity was a bizarre choice, Laidlaw says, and negates the cogency of “gender identity” as a concept. “With this addition, WPATH has inadvertently killed off the ‘gender identity’ as a serious concept in psychology.”
“No one will ever find a corner of the brain where the ‘eunuch identity’ is hidden. They will also never find any sort of ‘gender identity’ in the brain,” said Laidlaw. “It is a phantom with no basis in physical reality. WPATH has highlighted just how frightening the phantoms that they have dreamed up really are.”

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) recently published its new <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26895269.2022.2100644" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Standards of Care guidelines</a>, with a controversial chapter that seeks to include “eunuch” as part of the “transgender umbrella.” WPATH held a live-streamed session with two of the major contributors of the eunuch chapter at their annual conference on Tuesday.
Thomas W. Johnson, a professor emeritus of anthropology at California State University, Chico, and a major contributor to the eunuch chapter, <a href="https://wesleyyang.substack.com/p/4d5257b1-aa65-4131-b24c-dd6081c5451b">opened</a> the session with a history lesson. “eunuch is the oldest recognized gender outside the binary,” said Johnson.
During the history lesson, Johnson said that enslaved people used to be castrated in a similar way to livestock. “Slaves were just another domestic animal,” said Johnson. “Slaves were treated the same way as domestic animals, you castrate the non-breeding populations.”
Johnson describes eunuchs as an “invisible gender.” He estimates there are eight to ten thousand self-identified voluntary eunuchs in North America today. “Most present publicly as male, they’re indistinguishable from anyone else on the street,” said Johnson. “Sometimes they try to appear androgynous, but there is no other real way they demonstrate publicly that they are other than male.”
In an attempt to normalize voluntary castration, Johnson compared those seeking it to prostate cancer patients who have been tragically castrated out of necessity. “Men today are also castrated for medical reasons,” said Johnson. “At least half a million men in North America are currently castrated, whether chemically or surgically, as treatment for prostate cancer.”
Next, Johnson describes the various subcategories of men seeking voluntary castration. “Men with extreme gender dysphoria; they desire to be not male, to be emasculated but don’t want to be female either,” said Johnson. “They have a Male-to-Eunuch Gender Dysphoria that is now part of the SoC 8.”
The second subgroup of men seeking to castrate themselves have a condition known as Body Integrity Dysphoria (BID), which the World Health Organization <a href="https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http://id.who.int/icd/entity/256572629">describes</a> as a mental disorder characterized by “an intense and persistent desire to become physically disabled in a significant way” that “results in harmful consequences.”
“There are others who have a feeling that their genitals are not a proper part of their body,” said Johnson, who explains that an implicit definition of Body Integrity Disorder is now included in WPATH’s new Standards of Care 8th edition. “Body Integrity Dysphoria (BID), this is in the Soc 8. It’s also in ICD-11 6C21,” said Johnson. “It’s there in the ICD as well as the Standards of Care,” he reiterated.
The normalization of the consequences of Body Integrity Dysphoria in the new Standards of Care contradicts statements made by Dr. Marci Bowers, the President-elect of WPATH, who has said that patients with Body Integrity Dysphoria are “kooky” and have “nothing to do with gender identity” in an interview Bowers had with Matt Walsh in The Daily Wire documentary “What is a Woman?”
The final category of men who seek voluntary castration is described as men with “an extreme fetish or paraphilic disorder.” Johnson stresses that men with castration fetishes are not included as part of the new Standards of Care. However, Johnson previously <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17961144/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published research</a> that found “[a] large proportion (approximately 40%) of wannabes&#8217; interest in castration was singularly of a fetishistic nature.” “Wannabes” here denotes men who have not yet been castrated, but want to be.
The purpose of including eunuch as a gender identity is clear: so that they can easily access the insurance benefits that cover “gender-affirming care.”
“The 8th version of the Standards of Care (SOC) includes a discussion of eunuch individuals because of their unique presentation and their need for medically necessary gender-affirming care,” reads the introduction of the <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26895269.2022.2100644" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eunuch chapter</a>.
“Many of them out there are seeking what they term ‘eunuch calm,’” said Johnson, who describes this as a desire to reduce both libido and “reactive aggression.” “This is the road rage, the bar fights, the loss of control, losing one&#8217;s temper easily,” Johnson explains.
Johnson then dives into the demographics of those who identify as eunuchs, who often have a college education and have experience castrating animals on a farm. “We have found in looking at the population out there, that a great many of them are very well-educated,” said Johnson. “A lot of them have farm backgrounds, rural backgrounds, that they have witnessed or participated in animal castration, so they know what the procedure is.”
Interestingly, Johnson shared a slide entitled “Threatened with castration as a child” alongside two statistics from a sample he collected data on. The results he found were that 18.1% of eunuchs and 14.6% of “wannabes” were threatened with castration by an adult when they were a child. “I think of that as a very high number, but there&#8217;s nothing to compare it with,” said Johnson.
Next, Johnson opened a slide from the Eunuch Archive Message Board, cited in the new edition of Standards of Care. “There is a website where many of them congregate,” said Johnson. Because of the number of visitors to the website, 130,000 registered members according to the Standards of Care,  Johnson reckons there must be a lot of people seeking castration. “So there&#8217;s a lot of interest out there that is not being taken care of,” he said.
Dr. Michael Irwig, an endocrinologist, was introduced as a contributor to the eunuch chapter and took over the podium. “I am by no means an expert in this field,” said Irwig, who admits to only having “taken care of two eunuch or eunuch wannabe patients.”
Irwig shows a slide with instruments used to castrate animals, specifically the Burdizzo clamp used to castrate beef cattle and the elastrator used on young lambs and goats, the description reads. “There are a large number of eunuch individuals who have performed self-surgery or have had surgery performed by other people who are not credentialed medical providers,” the slide reads.
“We recommend health care professionals should consider medical and/or surgical intervention to eunuch individuals when there is a high risk that withholding treatment will cause individuals harm through self-surgery, surgery by unqualified practitioners, or unsupervised use of medications that can affect hormones,” said Irwig.
Irwig introduces the idea of “chemical castration” as an alternative to surgical castration. “So before getting castrated physically, you can actually do a chemical castration, kind of, as a trial,” said Irwig.
Irwig says that a chemical cocktail of hormones and blockers, similar to the regimen offered to adolescent patients who identify as transgender, can be used to chemically castrate eunuchs. “So there are ways to suppress testosterone levels, through hormonal suppression, to explore the effects of androgen deficiency for eunuch individuals wishing to become, for example, asexual or nonsexual or androgynous,” said Irwig.
Endocrinologist Dr. Mike Laidlaw told The Daily Wire that “chemical castration” is effectively when a blocking medication like Lupron is used to stop the pituitary from communicating with the testicles (or ovaries) to cause hypogonadism (very low sex hormone levels). It is no different from the &#8220;gender affirming care&#8221; given to adolescents. &#8220;It’s just that the effects are more dramatic, and I would say more dangerous, in puberty,&#8221; said Laidlaw.
Laidlaw believes that the addition of the eunuch gender identity was a bizarre choice that ultimately negates the cogency of “gender identity” as a concept. &#8220;With this addition, WPATH has inadvertently killed off the &#8216;gender identity&#8217; as a serious concept in psychology.&#8221;
Gender identity, he explains, is the name used in psychology to describe internal feelings about a person’s gender for which there is no physical correlation. &#8220;There is no test such as a blood test, or a CT scan, or a biopsy, or a genetic test which can locate and verify the gender identity,&#8221; said Laidlaw. &#8220;It is just a feeling, and feelings can change. This is why kids mainly desist from gender incongruity by adulthood.&#8221; The exact number varies by study, but roughly 60–90% of kids who identify as transgender no longer believe themselves to be transgender by adulthood, according to a <a href="http://www.sexologytoday.org/2016/01/do-trans-kids-stay-trans-when-they-grow_99.html">systematic review</a> of 11 studies.
&#8220;No one will ever find a corner of the brain where the &#8216;eunuch identity&#8217; is hidden. They will also never find any sort of &#8216;gender identity&#8217; in the brain,&#8221; said Laidlaw. &#8220;It is a phantom with no basis in physical reality. WPATH has highlighted just how frightening the phantoms that they have dreamed up really are.&#8221;
Laidlaw&#8217;s concern is the suffering that results when an ostensibly scientific body refuses to follow the evidence. &#8220;The reality is many people, both children and adults, have been harmed and will continue to be harmed by the non-scientific guidelines that they have created,&#8221; he said.
The eunuch chapter in the Standards of Care 8th edition also indicates that children or adolescents may have a secret eunuch identity. “Like other gender diverse individuals, eunuch individuals may be aware of their identity in childhood or adolescence,” states the new guidelines.
Previous <a href="https://reduxx.info/trans-authority-cites-pedophilic-forum-reduces-age-restrictions-for-puberty-blockers-and-genital-surgeries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporting</a> from Reduxx Magazine found that the aforementioned Eunuch Archive, much of which was used to inform WPATH’s eunuch chapter, hosts a trove of fictional stories that feature themes of rape, castration, torture, and killing of children. “Eunuch Archives hosts over 3,000 pieces of fictional child pornography that detail the rape, torture, and killing of children. In some narratives, children with stunted puberty are raped by doctors. In others, children are castrated by force as part of a sadistic sexual torture ritual,” <a href="https://reduxx.info/top-academic-behind-fetish-site-hosting-child-sexual-abuse-fantasy-push-to-revise-wpath-guidelines/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported Reduxx</a> earlier this year.
Johnson has been a leading member of the Eunuch Archive for over two decades, since 2001, and has published research on his findings. “Many stories feature attraction to, and ablation of, the genitals of pubescent or adolescent males,” reads the <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35556189/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abstract</a> of a paper published in Archives of Sexual Behavior.

Gender Identity

Today’s question is an important one. Do you believe your government would intentionally harm you?
The question is especially pertinent after recognizing that during COVID the government and Joe Biden were trying to force every single person to inject a new vaccine into their body. Remember when they locked down businesses and wouldn’t let you go to work unless you were vaccinated?
Well now it’s all magically over. How can they just say it’s suddenly over?
It&#8217;s almost almost like it was political, but of course if it was all political, then that begs the question: would our government intentionally harm us?
It can be hard to tell if you don’t understand the way the Left uses language. With the Left, it’s always a game of euphemisms. They can make something horrible sound pretty and something deadly sound flowery.
How can we make death sound flowery? Oh, I know, we’ll call abortion ‘pro-choice.’
What’s a good flowery term for chemically castrating children to make them trans? Let’s call it ‘gender affirming care.’ Lovely.
And don’t forget ‘social justice.’ Why do we feel like we’re skipping through a field of flowers when we say social justice? What they actually mean, though, is Black Lives Matter is outside and they&#8217;re going to burn down the building in the name of social justice.
When it comes to euthanasia, the flowery phrase they like to use is ‘dying with dignity.’ If you believe ‘dying with dignity’ is only about compassion for people with terminal illnesses, think again.
There’s one country where we’re going to hear this phrase a lot more: Canada.
Let me briefly unpack Canada’s history with euthanasia.
Canada used to have a law banning assisted suicide. But in 2015, they reversed that ban and began their slide down a slippery slope. Proponents of the reversal said they were only making assisted suicide available to people who suffer from a terminal illness or whose natural death was ‘reasonably foreseeable.’
Then in 2020, the Canadian parliament went further by enacting Bill C-7, a sweeping euthanasia law that repealed the previous requirements. You no longer had to be in a terminal condition and you no longer had to be facing a ‘reasonably foreseeable’ death. Now you simply had to be someone suffering from an illness or a disability which quote “cannot be relieved under conditions that you would consider acceptable.”
Their new euphemism for it is: Medical Assistance In Dying, or &#8216;MAID.&#8217;
It only took Canadians five years to remove all the barriers to euthanasia, making it widely available. Canadian law allows both the rich and the poor to kill themselves. Either way, now you can ‘die with dignity.’ So, if you’re poor and you can’t seem to achieve a life of dignity, wouldn’t you just rather die?
Now, of course, it is already being abused. Let me give you just one example.
A man with a neurodegenerative disease testified to the Canadian parliament that nurses and a medical ethicist — whatever that is — at a hospital, allegedly tried to coerce him into killing himself by threatening to bankrupt him with extra costs. They also apparently withheld water from him for 20 days. This happened inside of a hospital.
Canada’s state-sponsored media is working hard to make people think this is a good thing, the compassionate thing to do.
Not only that, but Canadian leaders figured out they could save money. Their parliament ran the numbers and discussed the fiscal advantages of Bill C-7. By allowing euthanasia to take place they estimated they could save the country $86.9 million per year.
Now, in case you think this would never happen in America, consider how close our neighbor to the north is. The same debate is also raging across Europe, and Switzerland has already made it legal. 
Lest we forget, two women from Arizona, Susan Ammouri Frazier and Lila Ammouri, perfectly healthy sisters, told their friends and colleagues they were just going on a trip to Europe. They ended up killing themselves through euthanasia in Switzerland. A team of medical professionals assisted the women in killing themselves because they just wanted to die.
So, back to the original question: Do you think your government would intentionally harm you?
We need to deeply consider the answer to that question, because it’s our children who have to grow up in this world we&#8217;re creating.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada">Canadian</a> actor Ryan Grantham was sentenced to life in prison for second degree <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">murder</a> after admitting to shooting his mother in the back of the head.
The 24-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">star</a> is best known for his roles in “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/entertainment">Riverdale</a>” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” He began acting at the age of 9. Now Grantham is making headlines for an entirely different reason. 
In March 2020, the actor shot his mom, Barbara Waite, at their home in Squamish, British Columbia. He used a .22 rifle to kill her while she was playing the piano, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/riverdale-actor-ryan-grantham-setencing-murdered-mother-1235381642/">Variety</a>. The young actor then took a video recording of himself confessing to the crime.
The next day, he covered the body with a sheet, surrounded it with lit candles and hung a rosary from the piano, the outlet reported. Grantham loaded a car with guns, ammunition and Molotov cocktails and drove to Ottawa with the intention of killing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the publication noted.
But he then considered committing a mass shooting either at Simon Fraser University, where he was a student, or on the Lions Gate Bridge. Ultimately, Grantham chose to turn himself in for his mother’s murder rather than killing again.
Grantham’s sister Lisa said during the trial that the case was “tragic” and “heartbreaking.” She described her mother as her “best friend,” saying, &#8220;She was vulnerable and Ryan gave her no chance to defend herself. It pains me to know he was a danger to her life.&#8221; Lisa and her mother&#8217;s sister told the court they &#8220;fear [Grantham’s] release from prison.&#8221;
Judge Kathleen Ker called the actor’s decision to turn himself in rather than committing a mass shooting his “saving grace,” while noting that his actions had a “life-shattering” impact on the victim’s family, People <a href="https://people.com/movies/diary-of-a-wimpy-kid-and-riverdale-actor-ryan-grantham-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-his-mother/">reported</a>.
Second degree murder comes with an automatic life sentence in Canada. He will be eligible for parole after 14 years, per <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/actor-ryan-grantham-court-sentencing-hearing-sentenced-1.6588962">CBC Canada</a>.
The judge noted that Grantham had been experiencing mental health struggles for several weeks before he committed murder. He had also been looking at violent footage on the dark web, CBC reported.
Ker said the actor was getting psychiatric treatment in jail and was reportedly showing improvement, per CBC.
Grantham’s lawyer said his client wasn’t surprised by the life sentence. 
“I think he anticipated what the judge gave him as a sentence,&#8221; attorney Chris Johnson said. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s pretty apprehensive about the whole thing. He&#8217;s a fairly tiny person, and to go to the prison system, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s a daunting and scary thought for him.&#8221;

&#8220;In Canada, we support unequivocally women&#8217;s right to choose. It is a fundamental tenet of freedom,&#8221; Trudeau <a href="https://twitter.com/MariaLeaf/status/1572760543915556865?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1572760543915556865%7Ctwgr%5Ee3ae06f8ac3af909b64a32ccc6ebdbdc91159f9e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/watch-canadian-pm-trudeau-wants-to-help-american-women-get-abortions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “[It] is a fundamental tenet of our society. We stand up for women’s rights.”
&#8220;As we see in the United States attempts to roll back rights that women have fought for for generations, the idea that there are young girls growing up in the United States who will have less rights over their own bodies than their mothers did is exactly what Canadians, Americans, and people all around the world are so concerned about,&#8221; he added.
“We need to make sure we are standing up for people’s rights and freedoms. In Canada, we will do that by ensuring access to abortion for every Canadian who wants it and we will make sure we continue to fight for better health and reproductive rights all around the world. It used to mean being there to fight for health and reproductive rights in the global south. We&#8217;ll help out in the United States if we need to, as well,&#8221; Trudeau told the press at the United Nations on Wednesday.
“In Canada, it is medical professionals who make determinations around what is best for mothers, particularly in late terms,” he said.

Wade in its Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision this summer. 
“My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now,” he reportedly said on Twitter. “No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body.”
Trudeau also mentioned the topic at a summit in Rwanda on the day the ruling was released.  
“Today I think of those generations of women around the world and specifically in the United States who fought so hard to gain rights … and are facing this devastating setback,” he said. “It shows how much standing up and fighting for rights matters every day.”
In Canada, there is no law <a href="https://nafcanada.org/history-abortion-canada/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concerning</a> abortion.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian nurse</a> who publicly supported famed “Harry Potter” author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jk-rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> and insists that men cannot become women, is at risk of losing her job as she faces a hearing from a national medical board.
As far back as November 2020, Amy Eileen Hamm, a single mother with two young sons, has faced an investigation from the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) after two people had lodged complained about her, according to the nurse. She is now in the <a href="https://www.bccnm.ca/Public/complaints/Pages/Notice.aspx?NoticeID=790" target="_blank" rel="noopener">midst</a> of a three-day hearing, after which she will face another hearing in October.
“I was denounced with the slur ‘TERF’ (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), which was in 2016,” Hamm wrote in April 2022 in <a href="https://quillette.com/2022/04/08/im-being-investigated-by-the-british-columbia-college-of-nurses-because-i-believe-biological-sex-is-real/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quillette</a>. The term “TERF” has also been used by transgender activists to target Rowling, for whom Hamm helped put up a billboard expressing her support, simply writing, “I ♥ JK Rowling.”
Once she became aware of the threat to her livelihood, Hamm initially hired attorney Lisa Bildy, then with Canada’s Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms explaining, “I had no assurances that my union-provided legal representative wouldn’t be ideologically sympathetic with my accusers.”
“And as it turned out, this was a good call: My province’s nurses’ union has since lobbied the Canadian government (without, to my knowledge, consulting members) to pass a controversial bill that threatens healthcare workers with prison time if they do not immediately ‘affirm’ the stated gender of any patient, no matter how young,&#8221; she added.
Hamm is adamant about her opposition to the radical gender theory sweeping Canada and the U.S.
“Men are not women. Humans are a dimorphic species,” Hamm wrote in her April article. “Women and men are biologically different from one another. Women and girls have sex-based rights as a result of those differences. Those rights are under threat. This is the truth. It has always been the truth. Speaking the truth should not be a punishable offense.”
The Justice Centre issued a July 2021 press <a href="https://www.jccf.ca/nurse-being-investigated-by-college-of-nurses-for-her-gender-critical-views/">release</a> expressing concern that activists are &#8220;weaponizing&#8221; agencies that regulate professions in a bid to force people to adopt radical ideologies. The agencies use lengthy disciplinary procedures, even when the complaints are from activists and not clients or, in Hamm&#8217;s case, patients, the group said.
“The Justice Centre’s submissions defend the right of health professionals to express their opinions on matters of policy in the public square and argue that everyone is entitled to freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, as guaranteed by the Charter—including health professionals,” they added.
Hamm has said her case was important for the future of nurses and midwives throughout Canada.
“If I win my case, I believe that the dividends will accrue to nurses and midwives all across my province, and maybe even the whole country. The precedent will help ensure that we can call out gender-identity ideology without fear of reprisal or loss of livelihood,” Hamm said.
Just days before the initial hearing, Hamm has not been reticent to make her views known.

“This is not a normal disciplinary hearing,&#8221; Bildy said in her opening submission for the hearing, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/nurse-faces-trial-in-bc-for-saying-biological-sex-is-real">according</a> to The Post Millenial. &#8220;You will not hear about a nurse who sexually abused a patient … who mishandled narcotics … or who assaulted elderly patients. You will hear about a nurse with over 10 years experience, who has an exemplary career … and has never once had a patient complaint against her.&#8221;

Megyn Kelly blew up at a Canadian school for allowing a transgender educator, a biological male who identifies as a female, to have massive breasts prosthetics while teaching children.
During the Sirius XM &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKHoQa0nETY">podcast</a> Wednesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">host</a> was speaking with the guys from &#8220;The Ruthless&#8221; podcast about the Ontario <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/school-district-defends-trans-shop-teacher-whose-enormous-fake-breasts-spurred-internet-furor">shop teacher</a>.
&#8220;So the shop teacher shows up now as a woman &#8230; this is what Kayla [Lemieux] looks like in the shop class,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-a-disgrace-megyn-kelly-blasts-upenn-for-nominating-lia-thomas-as-ncaa-woman-of-the-year">Kelly</a> explained as she showed a picture of the teacher wearing what she called &#8220;the most enormous breasts prosthetics you&#8217;ve ever seen.&#8221;

&#8220;This Kayla makes Dolly Parton look small &#8230;. with nipples,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Take your fetish behind a closed door and do not shove it in my kids&#8217; face. For the record they are standing behind [teacher]. The school is defending [shop teacher] saying &#8216;they recognize the rights of students, staff, parents, guardians, and community members to equitable treatment without discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression.'&#8221;
The former Fox News <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/good-riddance-megyn-kelly-drops-brutal-takedown-of-dr-fauci-you-are-not-truth-and-you-will-not-be-missed">host</a> went on to read a statement from the Halton District School Board (HDSB), which explained how it strives to ensure kids have a &#8220;positive learning environment&#8221; as Kelly noted that the school&#8217;s dress code doesn&#8217;t permit exposing genitals or nipples.
&#8220;But if you are a trans teacher, nip it out as much as you want, because that&#8217;s about rights,&#8221; Kelly blasted as she mocked the school&#8217;s statement. &#8220;There&#8217;s something wrong with this person &#8230; There&#8217;s something wrong with this guy.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s trying to turn somebody on,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He&#8217;s probably turned on. Honestly, it probably turns him on to rub his weird little fake nipples or to have people see them. It&#8217;s a thing. There&#8217;s a reason you stick those at the bottom of those huge watermelons and put &#8217;em on display for a bunch of children who are doing woodwork.&#8221;
The podcast host noted that this isn&#8217;t close to the same as a woman who may have large breasts, because this man chose to put on this prosthetic and then made it extra X-rated.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t want him getting off near my kids,&#8221; Kelly blasted. &#8220;And I don&#8217;t want him getting the nipples near my kids. And I don&#8217;t want to have to think about anybody&#8217;s sexuality or boobs when my kid is in shop!&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> isn’t a radical himself, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation acknowledges, yet somehow he is radicalizing young men by espousing mainstream beliefs that have only recently become “controversial” to the Left.
That was the cockeyed attack the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire</a> podcast and radio show host and best-selling author found himself defending against on his program Tuesday. Shapiro was responding to a Monday CBC article headlined, “‘It&#8217;s a slippery slope&#8217;: How young men fall into online radicalization,” which sought to blame him in part for the fact that some males become alt-right extremists after listening to him.
“Apparently it is fully OK to make a slippery slope argument when I say something that is not extreme, it&#8217;s possible to make the argument that somebody might view that and then see something that&#8217;s a little more extreme, a little more extreme, that eventually they end up being a Nazi,” Shapiro marveled.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
The <a href="https://twitter.com/CBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CBC</a> says I’m radicalizing young men, but can’t name any radical views I supposedly promote. They merely want to equate conservatism with extremism in order to silence those who dissent from Leftist orthodoxy. <a href="https://t.co/Xco9XsdyhD">pic.twitter.com/Xco9XsdyhD</a>
&mdash; Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1572307624497930240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 20, 2022</a></blockquote>

Shapiro, an orthodox Jew who is reviled by the alt-right and often reciprocates the animosity, pointed out that his beliefs are well within the mainstream spectrum. The article specifically called Shapiro’s claim that transgender people suffer from a mental disorder “controversial.”

“We have to pretend that men who say they are women are actually suffering from some sort of mind-bodymisalignment, and the problem is with their bodies,” Shapiro said. “So if you just chop off some body parts, then magically they&#8217;re a woman because their brain is the brain of a woman.
“Now, you might have to have a mental disorder to believe that, but that&#8217;s actually not science,” he added.
One line in the CBC article captures how it sought to say Shapiro is responsible for extremism – even though he is not an extremist.
“While Shapiro is not affiliated with any hate group, experts in media, gender studies and the radicalization of young men say that the commentator’s content is prevalent in online extremist communities,” author Brock Wilson wrote.
The “experts” are not named.
“And who are these experts?” Shapiro wondered. “Do they just sit in an Ivy League war room and discuss their expertise in front of students?
“They&#8217;re experts, by the way, in gender studies,” he continued. “Oh, well! Experts in gender studies, that must mean that they believe a bunch of crap that isn&#8217;t true&#8230;that is not a major that qualifies you for anything except being a professor in gender studies. That is a fully self-perpetuating cycle of uselessness.”
The “slippery slope” Shapiro is supposedly key to leads to dangerous alt-right views like the objectification of women and racism, ideals Shapiro said he has always vehemently rejected. The real objective of the article, and of much of the Left, Shapiro said in a Monday tweet, is to define speech and beliefs it disagrees with as “harmful” so that it can be silenced and even criminalized.
“Here comes the media attempt to get me banned from social media,” wrote Shapiro, who has 4.5 million Twitter followers and the nation’s biggest political podcast audience. “They can&#8217;t name which views of mine are particularly radical, so they just go for the &#8220;I&#8217;m radicalizing the youths!&#8221; Pathetic garbage from the Canada&#8217;s public broadcaster.”
Canada has become increasingly intolerant of free speech and unwilling to protect children from the mentally ill adults, Shapiro said. He cited the case of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/school-district-defends-trans-shop-teacher-whose-enormous-fake-breasts-spurred-internet-furor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender teacher in Ontario</a> who wears absurdly huge prosthetic breasts in the classroom. Video and images of the teacher went viral, prompting mockery, derision, and concern for the children of Oakville Trafalgar High School. But the school sprang to the defense of the teacher.
“We strive to promote a positive learning environment in schools consistent with the values of the HDSB and to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students, staff and the community, regardless of race, age, ability, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, socioeconomic circumstances or body type/size,” school officials wrote in an email to parents.
That, Shapiro said, is how backwards the Left has things.
“See, this is not extreme,” he said. “It&#8217;s not extreme to foist upon students sexual perverts. That&#8217;s what that is.”
“We&#8217;re not even talking about a person who just has gender dysphoria,” he continued. “We&#8217;re talking about a person the picture shows who&#8217;s wearing watermelon-sized breasts in front of high school students with fake nipples attached to them.”

Media Bias

The Left is a death cult. And not surprisingly, it’s killing people.
My husband would always say this in the early stages of our relationship. At first, I thought he was being hyperbolic or exaggerating. Then as we talked about it at a deeper level, and I considered more thoughtfully the issues in which the Left engages, I found what he said to not only be true, but not in any way exaggerated. 
In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-6-the-left-is-a-death-cult-and-it-s-killing-people-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">everything that the Left pushes</a>—they celebrate, advertise, and encourage death.
Take our &#8216;nice&#8217; neighbors in Canada, who increasingly foreshadow where progressives in America are heading. One of the leading causes of death in Canada is euthanasia.
The Left originally pitched, as they always do, euthanasia as &#8216;compassionate&#8217; legislation. They didn’t want people to die in pain if they didn’t have to, e.g. someone dying from cancer.
But this is not where euthanasia has stopped. We see for example, Switzerland, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/switzerland-legalizes-3-d-printed-at-home-assisted-suicide-pods" target="_blank" rel="noopener">where you can kill yourself</a> irrespective of what you’re going through. I spoke about this in March, when two perfectly healthy sisters from Arizona <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/missing-women-colleagues-left-worried-after-2-sisters-never-returned-home-from-trip-to-europe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traveled</a> to Switzerland to commit suicide.
It’s not long before this debate rages in the United States. And the Left will predictably advocate and legislate euthanasia.
Consider another example: climate change. What’s the focus for climate change advocates? That we are all going to die in ten years. Adults and children alike are being taught that they will die unless they avoid having families, unless they get rid of their gas car, and unless they <a href="https://time.com/5942290/eat-insects-save-planet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eat bugs</a>. These beliefs are not only scientifically debatable; they are terribly hopeless things to be teaching a generation. But this is the world of death the Left creates.
There’s abortion too — the Left’s most sacred belief. What&#8217;s more death cult than the actual killing of babies on the altar of ego and career?
Leftist politicians, like <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/08/28/1119502320/stacey-abrams-abortion-georgia-democrats-republicans-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stacey Abrams</a>, justify abortion up until nine months in the womb because of &#8216;compassion.&#8217; Chrissy Teigen, model turned celebrity mother, recently <a href="https://www.fox6now.com/news/chrissy-teigen-says-her-miscarriage-was-actually-an-abortion-to-save-her-life-heartbreaking" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rebranded</a> her miscarriage from two years ago as an &#8216;abortion,&#8217; so that she could champion the “compassionate” cause of abortion rights. 
In truth, if this &#8216;compassion,&#8217; were not so effective in its goals, the black population would be double what it is today. Leftists, the supposed celebrants of black lives and culture, choose to forget this and abortion’s racist history. As I’ve asserted many times before, the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was an avowed eugenicist and racist, who spoke in front of the Ku Klux Klan and worried about &#8216;lower stock&#8217; breeding.
If the Left can’t kill our babies, then they’ll try their best to push a radical transgender agenda and corrupt their bodies instead. My colleague Matt Walsh covered this extensively in his documentary, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“What is a Woman?”</a>
The Left considers it an act of aggression to say that children should not be taking puberty blockers which will affect them for the rest of their lives, and potentially render their sexual functions moot. They say that—there’s a pattern here — out of &#8216;compassion,&#8217; they prescribe Lupron to children, a drug that is used to medically castrate sex offenders. They do this to make these children &#8216;happy.&#8217;
Wrong — these children, who’ve been coerced into radical gender theory and had their bodies mutilated, will face mental health issues. And mark my words — these transitions will cut their lives shorter as well, either from health complications or suicide.
Think all of this is enough for them? No — of course not. The Left loves encouraging individuals to harm themselves in every way possible.
Which brings us to our final point of discussion — the body positivity movement, a beloved talking point for the Left. Who doesn’t want to feel positive about their body? Easy enough for all of us to agree with, right?
Then you find that the Left celebrates morbidly obese individuals. Then you find Cosmopolitan <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9131253/Row-new-plus-size-Cosmopolitan-cover-accused-glamourising-obesity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featuring</a> obese women on their front page, and calling them &#8216;healthy.&#8217; Then you find Lizzo, a pop singer, celebrating her obesity while accepting an Emmy <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/12/entertainment/lizzo-emmy-award-speech-cec/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">award</a>, to the applause of the death cult mob in attendance.
How sad is it that someone as talented as Lizzo, when talking to a room full of fans and celebrities that supposedly love her, is applauded when celebrating a way of living that will eventually kill her?
We talked earlier about a leading cause of death in Canada. The leading cause of death in the United States is obesity. Heart disease — often linked to obesity — is the number one killer of individuals in the United States.
Don’t be fooled by the Left’s &#8216;compassion.&#8217; As they encourage you to kill yourself mentally and physically, and to live unhealthy and unfulfilled lives, they will continue to use flowery language about their mission and goal.
It’s not compassion. It’s death. Reject the death cult, stand on the side of life.
