Author J.K. Rowling threw her support behind Macy Gray after the singer faced backlash for what some called &#8220;transphobic&#8221; comments when she said changing &#8220;your parts&#8221; doesn&#8217;t &#8220;make you a woman.&#8221;
Gray was labeled a &#8220;TERF,&#8221; a derogatory acronym used by some leftists that stands for transgender-exclusionary radical feminists, after <a href="https://twitter.com/PiersUncensored/status/1543972568281104390?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1543972568281104390%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthegrio.com%2F2022%2F07%2F05%2Fmacy-gray-called-out-for-trans-comments-on-piers-morgan-uncensored%2F">saying</a> on Piers Morgan&#8217;s &#8220;Piers Morgan Uncensored&#8221; show that &#8220;just because you go change your parts doesn&#8217;t make you a woman.

Rowling, the famed &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author, has also been the target of trans-rights activists because of her defense of biological women&#8217;s rights and protections.

The author&#8217;s post included a screenshot of an interaction between Gray and transgender broadcaster India Willoughby, who suggested Gray&#8217;s remarks would damage her career.
&#8220;As for Macey [sic] &#8211; how to kill what&#8217;s left of your career,&#8221; Willoughby tweeted. In response, the &#8220;Sweet Baby&#8221; hitmaker replied simply, &#8220;truth hurts.&#8221;
During Gray&#8217;s appearance on Morgan&#8217;s show, the two discussed transgender athletes in female sports competitions.

&#8220;A woman goes through a completely unique experience and surgery and finding yourself doesn&#8217;t change that,&#8221; Gray continued. &#8220;Being a little girl is a whole epic book, you know? You can&#8217;t have that just because you want to be a woman.&#8221;

&#8220;I don&#8217;t hate anyone,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;I respect everyone&#8217;s right to feel comfortable in their bodies and live their own truth.&#8221;

Entertainer Macy Gray responded to the backlash she&#8217;s faced after making what some have deemed &#8220;transphobic&#8221; comments when she said &#8220;just because you go change your parts,&#8221; it doesn&#8217;t &#8220;make you a woman.&#8221;
The 54-year-old singer took to her Twitter and told her critics of her interview with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/macy-gray-piers-morgan-gender-affirming-surgery-woman?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-foxnews&amp;utm_content=later-28057801&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=linkin.bio">Piers Morgan</a> on &#8220;Piers Morgan Uncensored&#8221; that they would be hard press to find a bigger supporter of the &#8220;lgbt community.&#8221; She then somewhat appeared to try and soften her earlier statements by saying that &#8220;woman&#8221; is a title &#8220;that you earn and become.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no bigger admirer of lgbt community than [yours] truly,&#8221; Gray tweeted Monday to her 80 thousand plus followers. &#8220;It takes real balls to be honest about who you are. &#8216;woman&#8217; is a title that you earn and become. just like &#8216;man,&#8217; there are plenty of females who aren&#8217;t women yet and every girl gets that.&#8221;

Singer Macy Gray Responds To Backlash After She Says ‘Just Because You Go Change Your Parts Doesn’t Make You A Woman’

Macy Gray Responds To Backlash After She Says ‘Just Because You Go Change Your Parts Doesn’t Make You A Woman’

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bette-midler">Bette Midler</a> is responding to all the backlash about her alleged “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">transphobic</a>” comments from earlier this week, defending her original tweet and doubling down on why she wrote it.
“PEOPLE OF THE WORLD! My <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter">tweet</a> about women was a response to this fascinating and well written piece in the NYT on July 3rd. There was no intention of anything exclusionary or transphobic in what I said;  it wasn’t about that,” Midler <a href="https://twitter.com/BetteMidler/status/1544470451476467715">shared</a>.
“It was about the same old sh** women – ALL WOMEN – have been putting up with since the cavemen. Even then, men got top billing. But seriously, folks, if anyone who read that tweet thinks I have anything but love for any marginalized people, go to Wikipedia and type in my name,” she continued in a <a href="https://twitter.com/BetteMidler/status/1544470452889853952">follow-up</a>.
“I’ve fought for marginalized people for as long as I can remember. Still, if you want to dismiss my 60 years of proven love and concern over a tweet that accidentally angered the very people I have always supported and adored, so be it,” Midler <a href="https://twitter.com/BetteMidler/status/1544470454005538816">continued</a>. 
“But the truth is, Democracy is slipping through our fingers! I’m all in on trying to save Democracy for ALL PEOPLE. We must unite, because, in case you haven’t been paying attention, divided we will definitely fall,” she <a href="https://twitter.com/BetteMidler/status/1544470455167422464">concluded</a>. 
The linked article led to a New York Times opinion piece titled, “The Far Right and Far Left Agree on One Thing: Women Don’t Count.” The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/03/opinion/the-far-right-and-far-left-agree-on-one-thing-women-dont-count.html?smid=url-share">article</a> blames conservatives for stripping women’s rights by overturning Roe v. Wade, but it doesn’t let liberals off the hook. Instead, the author accuses radical leftists of disrespecting women in a different way. 
“A number of academics, uber-progressives, transgender activists, civil liberties organizations and medical organizations are working toward an opposite end: to deny women their humanity, reducing them to a mix of body parts and gender stereotypes,” writer Pamela Paul argued. She does not agree with language which eliminates the word women or their essential roles, including new terms such as “menstruators” and “bodies with vaginas.”
Midler seems to agree with that assessment. The original tweet that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bette-midler-gets-attacked-as-a-terf-after-saying-women-are-being-erased-due-to-terms-like-birthing-people-people-with-vaginas">got her into trouble</a> said, “WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name!”
“They don’t call us ‘women’ anymore; they call us ‘birthing people’ or ‘menstruators,’ and even ‘people with vaginas!’ Don’t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you,” the tweet read.
Critics were quick to call out Midler for what they called trans-exclusionary language, comparing her to another famous TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), J.K. Rowling. Other followers agreed with Miller and applauded her for speaking out on the highly controversial topic.

‘It Wasn’t About That’: Bette Midler Responds To Criticism About Alleged ‘Transphobic’ Tweet

Bette Midler Responds To Criticism About Alleged 'Transphobic' Tweet

Bette Midler

Twitter

Singer Bette Midler landed in hot water with the far left — for the second time in two days — when her attempt to insult the United States Supreme Court backfired in spectacular fashion.
Midler has been decrying the Court&#8217;s 6-3 <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/aoc-is-getting-her-nails-done-as-an-act-of-reclamation-after-dobbs-decision/">decision</a> in Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization — which included a 5-4 decision <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/five-reasons-to-celebrate-the-overturning-of-roe/">overturning</a> landmark abortion cases Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey — since it was handed down in late June, and Tuesday was no exception.
The tweet that prompted the backlash was a group photo of the court members, with all but the three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and the since-retired Stephen Breyer — edited to look as though they were part of the Taliban, the medieval Islamic fundamentalist group back in charge of Afghanistan after President Joe Biden&#8217;s disastrous pullout.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Midler was not the only one to draw that comparison — singer Barbra Streisand referred to the Court as &#8220;the American Taliban&#8221; after the decision was handed down, and singer Patti LuPone asked, &#8220;What is the difference between the Taliban and the Christian Right? I&#8217;ll now add the Supreme Court. America is on her knees.&#8221;
But shortly after the &#8220;Hocus Pocus&#8221; star fired off her tweet, critics came for her, asking why she couldn&#8217;t complain about the Court without dragging Muslims into the conversation. One was Marc Lamont Hill, a Temple University professor who was fired by CNN 2018 amid widespread accusations of anti-semitism.
&#8220;Wow. Bette Midler is on a roll this week. From transphobic to Islamophobic,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/marclamonthill/status/1544501375815630848">tweeted</a> Hill, who gave a speech to the UN in which he accused Israel of &#8220;ethnic cleansing&#8221; and called for an end to Israel &#8220;from the river to the sea,&#8221; a phrase borrowed from terrorist Hamas leaders.
Other hard-core leftists objected to evoking the Taliban as a metaphor for extremism, despite the Afghan group&#8217;s well-known policies of brutality and oppression of women.
Author Laila Lalami <a href="https://twitter.com/LailaLalami/status/1544473865945878528">added</a>, &#8220;Can&#8217;t you people ever fight extremism without being Islamophobic? Muslims aren&#8217;t your rhetorical tool.&#8221;
&#8220;Your friendly local Muslim &amp; lawyer AGAIN reminding you that Islam permits abortion for a variety of reasons &amp; keeps that healthcare decision between a woman &amp; her loved ones &amp; doctor,&#8221; Qasim Rashid <a href="https://twitter.com/QasimRashid/status/1544473097180528640">tweeted</a>. &#8220;Stop using our faith as your punchline. Call this for what it is—100% ‘Christian’ nationalism.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s Christian Nationalism. This is homegrown. No need to denigrate Islam and Muslims for this extremism. Stop making us the pinata and bogeyman please. Also, traditionally, Sharia allows for abortion up to the first 4 months and makes exceptions for the woman&#8217;s health,&#8221; author Wajahat Ali <a href="https://twitter.com/WajahatAli/status/1544469888521101314">objected</a>.
&#8220;Bette Midler was like, &#8216;well I did transphobia yesterday, so maybe I’ll go with racism today,'&#8221; one Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/jenny2x4/status/1544466808081551364">commented</a>.
&#8220;Can y’all find a way to critique Christian nationalism without being islamophobic?&#8221; another <a href="https://twitter.com/Danez_Smif/status/1544450257697865728">added</a>. &#8220;Bette, it’s tired. If you can’t find a way to be &#8216;liberal&#8217; without throwing minorities under the bus, you are doing it very wrong. Give it a rest.&#8221;
Midler was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/bette-midler-gets-attacked-as-a-terf-after-saying-women-are-being-erased-due-to-terms-like-birthing-people-people-with-vaginas/">labeled a TERF</a> (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) on Monday for calling on women to push back against being erased by woke terms like &#8220;birthing person.&#8221;

Supreme Court

Singer Macy Gray poked the hornet&#8217;s nest — saying that changing one&#8217;s &#8220;parts&#8221; did not make them <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/yes-judge-ketanji-brown-jackson-can-define-woman-the-woke-left-just-wont-let-her/">women</a> — during an interview on with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sickening-to-watch-deadly-piers-morgan-blisters-mma-match-featuring-openly-transgender-fighter/">Piers Morgan</a> that aired on Monday.
Gray predicted during her appearance on &#8220;Piers Morgan Uncensored&#8221; that she would probably face backlash for voicing her opinion, and as soon as previews of her comments made it to Twitter, the woke mob quickly proved her right.

&#8220;If I asked you what a woman is, what would you say?&#8221; Morgan began.
&#8220;I would say, ah, a human being with boobs,&#8221; Gray shot back, prompting a chuckle from Morgan. &#8220;Haha, you have to start there.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, the dictionary&#8217;s quite straightforward, it just says a human, adult female,&#8221; Morgan agreed.
&#8220;You know a lot of people — see that — now that&#8217;s a little &#8230; getting confusing, the whole he, she, they &#8230;&#8221; Gray continued.
&#8220;And I&#8217;m not sure why, really,&#8221; Morgan went on to bring up the debate over <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/fina-restricts-biological-males-identifying-as-females-from-elite-swimming-competitions/">transgender women</a> — who were still biologically male — participating in women&#8217;s sports. &#8220;I support all trans rights to fairness and equality, but not where you have people born to obvious physical superior bodies transitioning and then thrashing the women at their sport.&#8221;
&#8220;I totally agree,&#8221; Gray said. &#8220;And I will say this, and everybody&#8217;s going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts doesn&#8217;t make you a woman. Sorry.&#8221;
&#8220;You feel that,&#8221; Morgan replied.
&#8220;I know that for a fact,&#8221; Gray continued. &#8220;Like if you want me to call you a her, I will, because that&#8217;s what you want. But that doesn&#8217;t make you a woman, just &#8217;cause I call you a her and just &#8217;cause you got a surgery.&#8221;
Critics quickly attacked Gray, calling her a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF).
&#8220;My bestie tweeted &#8216;damn we lost Macy Gray&#8217; and I thought she had died but it’s bc she’s a TERF,&#8221; @yumcoconutmilk <a href="https://twitter.com/yumcoconutmilk/status/1544124926747181059">tweeted</a>.
<a href="https://twitter.com/MJPlitnick/status/1544095648638812160">Mitchell Plitnick</a> added, &#8220;Sad to see #BetteMidler and #macygray joining the JK Rowling #TERF brigade. The fight for rights, anyone&#8217;s rights, can&#8217;t be won if we choose to deny the rights of some to elevate or compensate for the denial of rights of others.&#8221;
Singer Bette Midler also found herself on the wrong side of the mob when her tweet apparently aimed at supporting abortion rights erred too far on the side of defining what a woman is.
&#8220;WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even our name! They don&#8217;t call us &#8216;women&#8217; anymore; they call us &#8216;birthing people&#8217; or &#8216;menstruators,&#8217; and even &#8216;people with vaginas&#8217;!

A committee in the California legislature passed a piece of <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB107&amp;showamends=false">legislation</a> Tuesday that would make the state a safe haven for children who want to go through transgender procedures.
The measure passed the committee after hearing from children who formerly underwent transgender procedures, as well as parents who want legislators to rethink creating this type of law in the state. It is expected to pass the state legislature, as Democrats have a supermajority in the state house, according to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/california-pushes-sanctuary-state-transgender-children">Washington Examiner.</a> 
The bill’s author is San Francisco Senator Scott Wiener, who <a href="https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1504464021818277899?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1504464024368410624%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&amp;ref_url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/california-pushes-sanctuary-state-transgender-children">tweeted</a> in March, “The history of the LGBTQ community is a history of criminalization: Society trying to erase us &amp; then punishing us if we refuse to be erased, whether by death, incarceration, beatings, lobotomies/electric shock, etc. CA won’t be a party to this new phase of LGBTQ criminalization.”

The legislation provides an avenue for insurance companies, physicians, and contractors to ignore subpoenas regarding child custody and other court measures from outside states if the child is being medically treated for transgenderism. It also prevents health care providers and contractors from giving out medical information if is being requested from another state due to the state’s policy allowing civil action to be taken against individuals who perform “gender-affirming health care” on children. 
The bill states that a California court “has temporary emergency jurisdiction” for several reasons, including abuse, abandonment, and protection of a child, as well as “because the child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care.”
“A law of another state that authorizes a state agency to remove a child from their parent or guardian based on the parent or guardian allowing their child to receive gender-affirming health care is against the public policy of this state,” the bill also reads, “and shall not be enforced or applied in a case pending in a court in this state.”
The measure also instructs law enforcement agencies to “not make or intentionally participate in the arrest of an individual pursuant to an out-of-state arrest warrant for violation of another state’s law against providing, receiving, or allowing a child to receive gender-affirming health care.”
Some Republicans view the bill as an unconstitutional attempt to go around other states’ laws. 
Emmaline, a <a href="https://bettercare.substack.com/">blogger</a> who writes about dysphoria and has <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mother-of-transgender-teenager-los-angeles-county-killed-my-daughter">personal</a> experience of a child suffering from gender confusion, testified by phone at the hearing. 
“These are not my elected officials. They are taking away my rights in another state to protect my child and keep her body safe until she fully matures,” she told the Examiner in an interview. “This impacts my rights as a parent in New York should my child find her way to California through a friend, school trip, or family member. Now she has access to receiving gender-affirming care without my consent.”
Chloe Cole, a 17-year-old girl went through early transition treatment to become a male, but is now a detransitioner and against such practices, <a href="https://twitter.com/WomenReadWomen/status/1541840380982956032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1541840380982956032%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/california-pushes-sanctuary-state-transgender-children">spoke</a> before the assembly, saying, “At age 15, I asked to remove my breasts … I attended a top surgery class that was filled with around twelve girls that thought they were men, most were my age or younger. None of us were going to be men. We were fleeing from the uncomfortable feeling of becoming women.”
“I was unknowingly, physically cutting off my true self from my body, irreversibly and painfully,” Cole added. “… I really didn’t understand all the ramifications of any of the medical decisions I was making.”
Cole said she is unaware if she will be able to carry a baby to full term, adding that the doctors who gave her the hormone treatments also do not know. 
“Children cannot consent,” she stated.

DailyWire+ addition <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/watch/jordan-peterson">Jordan Peterson</a> issued a scathing review of Twitter following the social media platform banning him this week. They locked Peterson’s account after he posted his thoughts on transgender actress Elliot Page.
“A few days ago I penned an irritated tweet in response to one of the latest happenings on the increasingly heated culture war front. In response to the decision of an actress — actor — named Ellen – Elliot Page. I am employing this awkward and impossible naming style because it is now apparently mandatory and am probably doing it wrong…I’m trying to make a point,” Peterson began in his reply.
“I’ve essentially been banned from Twitter as a consequence. I say banned although technically, I’ve been suspended. But the suspension will not be lifted unless I delete the ‘hateful’ tweet in question, and I would rather die than do that.”
Next, the Canadian psychologist went over what the tweet said and what he believes the violation may have been, despite Twitter never specifying which part of the rules he violated.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Twitter Ban" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UYfKWQqvFac?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
“Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician,” the original tweet said.
Twitter’s explanation said Peterson violated the rules against “hateful conduct,” an accusation that he vehemently denies.
“I did not promote violence against or threaten anyone,” Peterson said in reply.
He went on to discuss the sin of pride and the problem of Pride month being a celebratory occasion.
“I don’t regard pride as a virtue. It has been classically regarded as a sin,” he said, explaining how celebrating or taking pride in your sexual orientation is unnecessary.
Next, Peterson posited that he was banned for deadnaming the “Juno” alum by calling Elliot “Ellen,” or by using the pronoun “her” when the star had since transitioned to using “he/him.”
“How could those I’m writing to make sense of what I was saying if it was his breasts that were removed? Were those male breasts or female breasts that were removed?” he continued, making the case for calling Page a woman to make his point in the first place.
Finally, Peterson said Page may be an adult capable of making decisions as he/she sees fit, but that as a celebrity, there is some level of responsibility to fans as well.
“Elliot has undoubtedly with his/her/their so-called courage… enticed many a poor, confused adolescent – girl, most likely – to blame her emergent pubescent self-consciousness, confusion, and discomfort on being born in the wrong body and believing that the courageous, self-affirming, and moral admirable route is hormonal treatment, sterilization, subjugation to a lifetime of expensive medical complications, and misery,” Peterson said, before pointing out that transgender surgeries and drugs are part of a $300 million industry that’s growing at a rapid pace.
In conclusion, Peterson insisted he’s not deleting the tweet. “Up yours, woke moralists,” the DailyWire+ contributor said. “I regard [being banned] under the present conditions as a badge of honor.”

‘Up Yours, Woke Moralists’: Jordan Peterson Responds To Twitter Ban After Comments About Trans Actress Elliot Page

DailyWire+

Elliot Page

Reality star Leon Brown of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television">Sister Wives</a>” fame, who recently came out as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">transgender</a>, admitted to being confused and warned fans to drop the old pronouns and name.
Brown is the only child of Kody Brown and his first wife Meri, who became famous on the TLC <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/reality-tv">reality series</a> which explored the lives of polygamous families. The 26-year-old has been part of the series all along, growing up as one of 18 children in the house that had one husband and four wives. Brown is now announcing a new identity and new rules to go with it.
“Someone recently told me that i didn’t have to have all of my s*** figured out in order for me to share myself with the world,” Brown wrote in an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CfV-WXmLZ-Z/">Instagram</a> post alongside a photo. “So here’s me, definitely not having almost any of my sh** figured out, to let you know that i am trans. my name is Leon or Leo (i love both) and my pronouns are they/them.”
“I remember the first time that i knew i wasn’t a girl,” the TLC personality wrote. “I was pretty young &amp; unfortunately i grew up in a context that was incredibly gendered &amp; restrictive. so i continued to be socialized as a girl &amp; later a woman. and here’s the thing, i’m finally ready to share my favorite self with the world. and that self is incredibly genderqueer, trans, and unapologetic.”
Brown went on, writing, “Being queer &amp; trans are definitely some of my favorite parts of myself. and yet, there are so many things that i am learning to love about myself through this process. here’s to me getting to know myself, share myself, and continually evolve to be the person i am, to be my favorite self in all contexts.”
The “Sister Wives” star concluded by advising friends, family, and fans of some new rules. 
“I’m sharing this part of myself to let folks in, and also to set some boundaries. if you choose to not use my correct name or pronouns, then you do not need to speak to or about me. my name is Leo or Leon, and my pronouns are they/them. please only refer to me in that way,” Brown wrote.
Comments were limited on the post. For now, the reality cast member’s Instagram handle is still “mariahbrwn.”
Brown is currently in a relationship with Audrey Kriss, who is also trans.
Brown’s mom Meri reacted to the Instagram post by adding it to her Instagram stories. She included the caption, “You are my sunshine.”

Charlize Theron. Dwyane Wade. Cher. Jamie Lee Curtis. Annette Benning.
And now, Jennifer Lopez.
This hodgepodge list of celebrities all has something significant in common: each is raising non-binary or transgender children.
Outside of this group, there is a whole community of Hollywood elites who are choosing a progressive, non-gendered approach to parenting.
Most recently, Jennifer Lopez made <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jennifer-lopez-uses-they-them-pronouns-to-introduce-daughter-for-performance-with-rainbow-colored-mic">headlines</a> when she brought her 14-year-old daughter, Emme, out to sing a duet at the LA Dodgers Foundation Gala and introduced her using gender-neutral they/them pronouns. The internet <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/natashajokic1/jennifer-lopez-emme-performance-they-pronouns">erupted in support</a> of Lopez’s progressive parenting as she helped Emme come out as non-binary on the world’s stage.
I was immediately transported back to my childhood. My brothers and I won the lottery with a mother who would walk through fire for us and actively sought out opportunities to support our interests and unique quirks, but she was no JLo. She didn’t enable delusions.
By all standards, my mother was strict. Any independence we had was earned through mutual trust and respect. She was a parent first and a friend second. Up until recent years, I would’ve thought that this parenting style was the norm.
But not in 2022.
Today, there is a dangerous trend of parents blindly going along with their children&#8217;s every whim and demanding that the rest of the world follow suit. These parents are quick to lean into progressive gender theory and affirm their children — of all ages — as the opposite sex, or in some cases, no sex at all. 
I believe that, on the surface, many of these parents are simply misguided and have been convinced that this is the most loving and supportive path to take, even though science <a href="https://www.heritage.org/gender/commentary/transitioning-procedures-dont-help-mental-health-largest-dataset-shows">suggests</a> that it’s not.
However, I think most of these parents are deeply fueled by fear — the fear of getting canceled by the progressive mob, the fear of their children lashing out, and the fear of the government coming after them.
While that may seem like a significant statement, it’s not off base.
On a state level, many governors, like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-says-hed-support-a-law-banning-gender-transition-surgeries-on-children-there-should-be-additional-protections">Ron DeSantis (R-FL)</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alabama-law-criminalizing-transgender-health-care-for-minors-goes-into-effect">Kay Ivey (R-AL)</a>, are taking powerful steps to protect parental rights and protect minors from gender reassignment procedures, but that is far from the case in more progressive states.
In California, legislators are working to pass <a href="https://openstates.org/ca/bills/20212022/SB107/">Senate Bill 107</a> which would turn the state into a transgender sanctuary for minors seeking gender reassignment and “authorize a court to take temporary jurisdiction because a child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care.”
You read that correctly. Legislators want the state to be able to take custody of your children if you do not affirm their social-contagion-fueled transgender feelings with puberty blockers and surgeries.

Shockingly and sadly, this isn’t new. Individual <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/father-who-lost-custody-of-trans-child-runs-for-texas-house-to-outlaw-child-gender-reassignments/">cases</a> have been popping up around the United States for years. In Canada, laws already exist that “[prevent] parents from challenging a child’s same-sex orientation, or with identification not with the gender that he or she was born, but rather the opposite one,” <a href="https://familyllb.com/2018/02/19/parents-lose-custody-for-failing-to-respect-teenagers-wish-to-transgender/">according to</a> Family LLB in Ontario.
This might not be far off for Americans.
Just last Wednesday, President Biden announced a new executive order aimed at the GOP’s <a href="https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1537175566989656065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1537175566989656065%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalreview.com%2Fnews%2Fbiden-pride-month-speech-blasts-ultra-maga-agenda-attacking-families%2F">“Ultra-MAGA agenda,”</a> which he accused of targeting families and harming transgender children.
This executive order <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/06/15/fact-sheet-president-biden-to-sign-historic-executive-order-advancing-lgbtqi-equality-during-pride-month/">directs</a> the Department of Health and Human Services to do everything in its power to protect LGBTQ+ children’s access to “gender-affirming health care” and asks the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other departments to begin cracking down on therapeutic practices that attempt to “suppress or change the sexual orientation or gender identity of LGBTQI+ people,” which he defines as “conversion therapy.”
But here’s the thing, conversion therapy hasn’t been used by the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/06/bidens-repackaged-conversion-therapy/">American Psychiatry Association since 1973</a>, so what is Biden vaguely asking the FTC to police? If a child goes to their therapist with concerns about gender, will their psychologist have to affirm these feelings for fear of a conversion therapy accusation?
We are living in a society that is so afraid of a loud, extremist minority that people are willing to roll over and allow — or even worse, encourage — irreversible damage to be done to their children.
Therefore, it was reasonable for HBO talk show host and comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/billmaher/status/1527887977845649408?s=20&amp;t=HGhhfc5Tcvn8FwVDtHpRfw">Bill Maher</a> to question why the spike in transgender youth is regional, saying  “Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.” 
It’s a simplistic statement but it rings true. In the most progressive places, the people who are supposed to protect children are the ones enabling and supporting this dangerous, experimental trend.
Whether it is related to gender or not, parents, therapists, and teachers are not there to affirm a child’s every impulse and fantasy. This does nothing but harm young people and makes them wholly unprepared for the harsh realities of the adult world.
And considering the astounding number of Gen Z members who are struggling with mental illness or gender confusion in their late teens and 20s, it’s clear we’re already seeing the dire ramifications of this attitude.
It is imperative that we change course before it is too late. Young people deserve better.

House Democrats introduced a &#8220;Transgender Bill of Rights&#8221; on Tuesday to &#8220;protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.&#8221;
Led by Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-resolution/1209/text">HR 1209 proposes</a> &#8220;amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, including gender identity and sex characteristics in public accommodations and federally funded programs and activities.&#8221;
The Trans Bill of Rights also proposes amending federal education laws to ensure that students can participate on sports teams &#8220;that best align with their gender identity&#8221; and use &#8220;school facilities that best align with their gender identity&#8221; — meaning that biological males could use women&#8217;s restrooms and play on women&#8217;s sports teams.
“As we witness Republicans and an extremist Supreme Court attack and roll back the fundamental rights of trans people across our country, and as state legislatures across the country target our trans community with hateful, bigoted, and transphobic attacks, we are standing up and saying enough is enough,” <a href="https://jayapal.house.gov/2022/06/28/jayapal-cicilline-newman-takano-torres-lead-members-in-introducing-the-trans-bill-of-rights/">said</a> Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and co-chair of the Transgender Equality Task Force.
“Our Trans Bill of Rights says clearly to the trans community across the country that we see you and we will stand with you to ensure you are protected and given the dignity and respect that every person should have,&#8221; she added.

Democratic Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Marie Newman of Illinois, Mark Takano of California, and Ritchie Torres of New York joined Jayapal in introducing the Trans Bill of Rights.
“It’s official: the Democratic Party has gone completely insane,&#8221; American Principles Project President Terry Schilling said in a statement. &#8220;How else does one explain their doubling down on this radical transgender agenda, on the same day a wide-ranging poll is released showing its deep unpopularity with voters? Do they want to get wiped out in this November’s midterms?&#8221;
Schilling insisted that such radical policies will deter Americans.
&#8220;Make no mistake,&#8221; he warned, &#8220;there will be consequences at the ballot box, both this November and beyond.”

The measure comes after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which Democrats <a href="https://jayapal.house.gov/2022/06/28/jayapal-cicilline-newman-takano-torres-lead-members-in-introducing-the-trans-bill-of-rights/">described</a> as a move that stripped &#8220;many of their constitutional right to choose,&#8221; warning that the &#8220;Court seems poised and willing to take on other hard-earned constitutional rights.&#8221;
At least 18 states <a href="https://americanprinciplesproject.org/legislation/louisiana-becomes-18th-state-protect-girls-sports/">have passed legislation</a> that bans biological males from women&#8217;s sports. Many other states have passed legislation banning transgender surgeries for minors or biological males from women&#8217;s restrooms — in a statement accompanying the &#8220;Trans Bill of Rights,&#8221; Takano claimed GOP lawmakers introduced over 300 &#8220;anti-LGBTQ bills.&#8221;
Schilling <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/06/13/washington-post-umd-poll-most-americans-oppose-transgender-athletes-female-sports/">pointed to polling</a> showing that most Americans don&#8217;t want biological males in women&#8217;s sports.
“Of course, it shouldn’t require a poll to tell us the obvious,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Americans strongly object to putting men in women’s sports. They don’t want their daughters being forced to share bathrooms and locker rooms with boys. And they don’t think children should be pushed into life-altering and dangerous sex-change procedures at young ages.&#8221;

Leaked video from the new Disney show &#8220;Baymax&#8221; — based around the lovable robot that first appeared in the 2014 animated feature &#8220;Big Hero 6&#8221; — shows the titular character approaching a woman in a store and asking for help with feminine hygiene products.

It&#39;s all part of Disney&#39;s plan to re-engineer the discourse around kids and sexuality. <a href="https://t.co/y1ATnKCEce">pic.twitter.com/y1ATnKCEce</a>

In the clip, Baymax stood in the feminine hygiene aisle of a store and stared at the shelf in front of him. After a moment, he turned to the woman next to him and asked for her recommendation for a good product. She responded first with surprise, and then immediately did her best to assist him — and a crowd of others quickly joined in with their suggestions as well.
&#8220;Excuse me. Which of these products would you recommend?&#8221; Baymax asked.
&#8220;Oh, um — well — these are the tampons I usually use,&#8221; the woman replied.
&#8220;Thank you,&#8221; Baymax said.
&#8220;I prefer pads,&#8221; another woman interjected. &#8220;They&#8217;re more comfortable for me.&#8221;
&#8220;Thank you,&#8221; Baymax said again.
&#8220;I always get the ones with wings,&#8221; another person — whose shirt was a transgender flag — chimed in as well.
As the crowd around Baymax continued to grow, another woman added, &#8220;Get unscented and bleach-free if you can.&#8221;
&#8220;Yo, my daughter loves these!&#8221; a man reached over Baymax&#8217;s shoulder to show him another package.
&#8220;These might be easier if it&#8217;s her first period,&#8221; yet another woman held a package out to Baymax, as one more approached the group, saying, &#8220;These are really environmentally friendly!&#8221;
Rufo&#8217;s previous efforts to expose the goings-on within Disney netted a number of videos revealing an executive&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/not-at-all-secret-gay-agenda-disney-employees-break-down-adding-queerness-to-shows-and-degenderizing-theme-parks/">not-at-all-secret gay agenda</a>&#8221; and plans to infuse shows for children of all ages with examples of multiple different gender identities and sexual orientations.

&#8220;Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to like, my like, not-at-all secret gay agenda,” executive producer LaToya Raveanu said in the leaked video. &#8220;Wherever I could, I was basically adding queerness to the show, if you see anything queer in the show, &#8216;The Proud Family,&#8217; nobody would stop me and nobody was trying to stop me.&#8221;

On a humid and sun drenched afternoon, thousands of people turned out for the first in person Seattle Pride Parade in three years, after being sidelined due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A crush of marchers paraded down 4th Avenue in colorful outfits, floats, and many carried rainbow flags.  But trailing far behind, more than two dozen Amazon workers holding a massive banner that read, &#8220;No Hate at Amazon.&#8221; That&#8217;s also the name of the activist group within the Seattle based e-commerce giant. Some draped themselves in Transgender Pride flags, wore platform boots, and were accompanied by a boom box blasting dance music.

They&#8217;re protesting the company&#8217;s continued sale of books they say are harmful to transgender youth. A spokesperson at the march declined an interview with Daily Wire and pointed me to their website for a full list of their demands and complaints about Amazon.
<a href="https://nohateatamazon.com">No Hate at Amazon</a> accuses the company of allegedly “spreading a culture of hatred through the sale of transphobic books, promoting and profiting off content that advocates for the abuse of transgender children.”
Earlier this month, some Amazon employees in Seattle <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amazon-employees-disrupt-pride-ceremony-with-die-in-protest-over-matt-walshs-johnny-the-walrus-other-anti-trans-books">staged a protest</a> at the company’s Pride Flag raising ceremony due to their frustration over the continued sale of “transphobic” books, including Abigail Shrier’s “Irreversible Damage” and “Johnny the Walrus” by The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh.
The group further called the Pride Flag raising ceremony a “PR stunt” that was “blatant rainbow-washing” all while the retailer continued to sell “content that aids and encourages the psychological abuse of transgender children.”
Amazon previously <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-25/amazon-employees-want-amazon-to-ban-books-they-deem-anti-transgender">stopped selling</a> the book “When Harry Became Sally” in March 2021 because it described “LGBTQ+ identity as a mental illness,” according to WaPo.
Bloomberg reports so far, more than 600 employees have signed the petition to have the content removed and about 20 workers have quit the company due to the sale of titles they say misrepresent what it means to be transgender. Several other transgender employees are also planning to quit after they complete certain gender-affirming treatments, a complex and personal process that can take years and could be disrupted by switching jobs and insurance plans, said the person, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation.
Several months ago, Seattle Pride organizers also dropped Amazon as a corporate sponsor, citing its support of lawmakers and organizations that support anti-LGBTQ legislation.
“We respect that many people care deeply about this topic, and we remain committed to providing an inclusive work environment for all of our 1.6 million employees,” Amazon spokesperson Maggie Sivon said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg.  “As a company, we believe strongly in diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a bookseller, we’ve chosen to offer a very broad range of viewpoints, including books that conflict with our <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/about-us/our-positions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.aboutamazon.com/about-us/our-positions&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1656380053858000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0g2VW8LpY8Ulszfv4E-aff">company’s</a> stated positions. We believe that it’s possible to do both—to offer a broad range of viewpoints in our bookstore, and to stand behind our values as a company. When reviewing a book against our content guidelines, we consider the specific content of that book and we invest significant time and resources to ensure our guidelines are applied as consistently as possible.”
LGBTQ rights group GLAAD has also slammed Amazon&#8217;s decision to continue selling the books the activist employees want removed.
