April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It is also a moment when many trans activists and aligned organizations have taken the opportunity to bring up studies and statistics about the high rate of sexual assault for those who identify as trans. These topics are inexorably linked — something I know firsthand, as both a sexual assault survivor and a detransitioner.
My desire to transition was largely due to being sexually assaulted when I was 14. I believed I could escape myself and my sex through medicalization. I know now that, in truth, I never changed sex. And undergoing hormones and surgery did not help my mental health or heal my torment. That required facing the trauma in therapy and doing the real work of recovery.
The trans community is right that sexual assault is a real and horrible reality for too many people who identify as trans. The same is true for those who detransition — we often have histories of sexual abuse. But what the trans activists are not honest about is the timing of the sexual assault and how it relates to trans identities themselves.
Like me, most of the people with trans identities I have interacted with (both online and offline) experienced sexual assault prior to their identifying as transgender, not because of it.
I remember talking with other members of the trans community online and in my doctor-recommended support group when I was a teen. We spoke about abusive or violent sexual encounters we had experienced. Many of us were extremely young when we experienced abuse, or were still forced to endure it while simultaneously trying to medicalize our bodies. Our relationships with ourselves were fragmented and in crisis, and our relationships with each other were an unhealthy bond forged by trauma. We all believed we wouldn’t be so burdened when we could finally transform into the opposite sex.
Sexual assault is a life-changing experience. Anyone who has experienced it knows what I mean. It takes away your power and your autonomy and makes your body feel unsafe. Activists try to sell transitioning as a cure to such vulnerable people. They insist that transitioning offers the victims of sexual assault the promise of greater control over their bodies. It allows the victims to change it into something they believe is less likely to be hurt. Transitioning is described by doctors and activists alike as a type of rebirth; many people try in vain to transition into a person who was never assaulted at all.

It is cruel and unethical for a doctor to change the body of a sexual assault victim. Our bodies were never the problem. An identity crisis is not a medical condition. Trauma is not cured with hormones and surgeries, nor are future assaults prevented that way. Any doctor selling transition to someone reeling from the distress of a sexual assault is harming their patients. There are protocols and standards of care when it comes to victims. Evidence-based and ethical, trauma-informed care is the least the medical community can do for patients who were sexually abused. Instead, many doctors are taking the easy way out and making a profit off the distress and pain of the most vulnerable by selling “cures” that will never come to fruition.
The sexual assault I experienced changed my life when I was young, but transitioning destroyed my health and stole parts of my life away from me. If my doctors had not affirmed my self-hatred and my womanhood and instead listened to my pain and suffering because of my trauma and left my body alone, I would still be healthy. I am still a sexual assault victim, only now, I am missing pieces of myself. True, my breasts will never be touched again without my consent — but now I cannot ever give consent for them to be touched either, all because a doctor decided that the thoughts in my head meant that mutilating my body could heal me.
I have healed now from the terrible trauma of sexual assault, but the chemical and surgical changes my doctor made to my body are irreversible. No person who has been a victim of harm deserves more harm as a result, even if they are broken enough to ask for it. Doctors have a responsibility to say “no” instead of aiding their patients in self-harm. I hope that no doctor will ever be as cruel to another patient who identifies as trans as they were with me — or that lawmakers make it impossible for them to do so.
This Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I urge lawmakers, doctors, and the public to reexamine what’s behind the growing obsession with trans identity and permanently altering girls’ and boys’ healthy bodies. Take it from me: the abuse I suffered altered my life forever. Mutilating my body didn’t make it better, but only added additional trauma and hardship. Sexual assault survivors deserve so much more than that.

<h2>Controversial Deportee Has A Checkered Past</h2>
<div id="attachment_909431" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-909431" class="size-large wp-image-909431" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-864x576.jpg" alt="" width="864" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/04/Kilmar-Protesters-1200x800.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px" />(Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images)</div>
Topline: As the Trump administration pushes forward with its mass deportation effort, Democrats are fighting for the return of one deportee sent to El Salvador.
The story centers on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old man who entered the United States illegally in 2011. Back in 2019, Garcia was arrested by ICE for suspected ties to the MS-13 gang, and given a deportation order. However, a court ruled at the time that Abrego Garcia should not be sent to his home country of El Salvador over potential threats from rival gangs there. Despite that deportation order, he remained in the country until he was arrested again by ICE in March and deported to El Salvador days later.
By April, the Supreme Court ruled that Garcia’s return to El Salvador violated the previous court order that he be sent elsewhere — and directed the White House to facilitate his return to America. The Trump administration conceded that it was a “clerical error” on their part, but stated that it was up to officials in El Salvador to decide whether he would be released or not. 
Democrats used the incident to argue the Trump administration is being careless in its mass deportation efforts — they say Abrego Garcia was a law-abiding father who never should’ve been deported in the first place. As the story gained traction, a number of Democratic lawmakers vowed to go to El Salvador to fight for his release, including Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, who traveled to the prison where Abrego Garcia’s being held. Van Hollen was initially denied access by local authorities, but successfully met with Garcia on Thursday night.
&#8220;This is like taking away people’s freedom,” Van Hollen <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/sen-chris-van-hollen-compares-153458159.html">told</a> MSNBC. “That does not sound like a conservative idea to me. That is something that, of course, authoritarian governments engage in. And it’s a very fast road to tyranny if we don’t all stand up against it.&#8221;
Democrats have depicted Garcia as an upstanding citizen, husband, and father, but new reports are painting a very different picture. A police report released by the DOJ from his initial arrest back in 2019 shows that Abrego Garcia was found loitering with three other men, two of whom were previously convicted MS-13 members — when officers approached, they attempted to hide drugs under a nearby car. At the time of his arrest, Abrego Garcia was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat — authorities say that’s a symbol of “members in good standing with the MS-13.” Then, in 2021, Abrego Garcia’s wife sought a protective order against him following years of alleged domestic abuse. According to her sworn affidavit from the time, his wife alleged that on different occasions, Abrego Garcia punched her, leaving her with black eyes, hit her with his work boots, scratched her eyes, and drove erratically with their one-year-old in the car. She wrote in her own words, “I am afraid to be close to him.” That case did not move forward after Garcia’s wife failed to appear in court to testify against him.
 And that’s not all — the <a href="https://tennesseestar.com/justice/bidens-fbi-ordered-tn-highway-patrol-to-release-maryland-man-recently-deported-to-el-salvador-after-he-was-detained-in-2022-traffic-stop-on-suspicion-of-human-trafficking/tpappert/2025/04/16/">Tennessee Star</a> learned Wednesday that Abrego Garcia had been stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol in 2022 on suspicion of human trafficking. In that instance, he’d been pulled over with seven individuals in his car, but no luggage. When questioned, he told officers he was driving them from Texas to Maryland on behalf of his “boss” who worked in “construction.&#8221; Abrego Garcia was detained for two hours and was found not to have a valid driver&#8217;s license, which is a misdemeanor offense.

Topline: On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Global Engagement Center, an Obama-era propaganda branch of the State Department, has been completely dissolved.
In 2011, the State Department created the Global Engagement Center, designed to combat propaganda from hostile foreign groups. But after Trump’s 2016 win, the department turned its attention to throttling Americans&#8217; political speech.
The GEC was created in 2011 as the Center for Strategic Counter Terrorism Communications. In 2016, Barack Obama gave it a new name and said it would “coordinate U.S. government communications aimed at countering foreign terrorist propaganda, particularly from groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda.” But soon, it was creating pressure on U.S. platforms, via advertising boycotts, to delete “conspiracy theories” like the idea that coronavirus came from a Chinese lab.
Like other State Department propaganda efforts, the GEC was specifically barred from operating against Americans. But there’s evidence that’s exactly what it did. In the Twitter Files, which showed how the Biden administration pressured Silicon Valley platforms to censor or remove content, one of the names that keeps popping up is GEC. Even an FBI agent who played a similar role, Elvis Chan, expressed concern about GEC, saying in its world, which was supposed to be foreign countries, the First Amendment didn’t exist.
The Daily Wire and the Federalist sued the State Department alleging that GEC was violating the First Amendment by funding groups like NewsGuard and the Global Disinformation Index. The Global Disinformation Index put American media outlets on a “Dynamic Exclusion List” that was distributed to advertisers and named mainstream publications like the New York Post, Reason Magazine, The Daily Wire, and the Federalist as “risky.” Newsguard’s CEO said its goal is “empowering governments … to support quality journalism and systemically defund sources of harmful misinformation.” The Daily Wire argued that GEC was funding proxies to do what would obviously be illegal for the government to do.

Topline: The UK’s Supreme Court has ruled that in the eyes of the law, a woman is a biological woman, not a transgender woman.
The UK has decentralized governments, which means there are governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland who have powers devolved to them. In Scotland, the Scottish Nationalist government sought to extend what they call trans rights. Most controversially, it pushed for self-ID, which would allow someone to declare themselves a woman and be certified as such, no questions asked.
The legal case that led to this being brought to the UK’s Supreme Court began with a new law aimed at increasing the number of women on public boards. Affirmative action, known in Britain as “positive action,” is permitted by a law called the Equality Act. The Scottish government argued that this should include discriminating in favor of transgender women with a Gender Recognition Certificate. The campaign group For Women Scotland disagreed and argued it should be restricted to biological women.
The Court decided that the use of “sex” and “women” in the Equality Act refers to biology and biological women, so transgender women are not protected against discrimination as women, although they will still be protected against discrimination as people who have undergone gender reassignment.
“This is going to be a very far-reaching ruling,” Guy Dampier, Senior Researcher on Nationhood at the Prosperity Institute, told Morning Wire. “Like a lot of the West, there has been this huge battle over transgenderism. The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, was famously once unable to say whether women have a penis or not. … the Gender Recognition Act is functionally null now, as it is now the law that sex is biological rather than social. That said, transgender women with a Gender Recognition Certificate will still have their legal documents describing their sex as female, and it’s illegal to ask someone if they have a GRC.”

President Donald Trump schooled the Left on Friday when he was able to successfully provide an answer to that age old question, “What Is A Woman?”
During an impromptu <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljL5tX2xK_U">press conference</a> from the Oval Office, a reporter asked if Trump could explain “what is a woman” and why “it’s important that we understand the difference between a man and a woman?”
&#8220;Well, it&#8217;s sort of easy to answer for me, because a woman is somebody that can have a baby, under certain circumstances. A woman is a person who is much smarter than a man, I&#8217;ve always found,” Trump said, which drew laughter from those in the room.
“A woman is a person that doesn&#8217;t give a man even a chance of success,” he added. “And a woman is a person that, in many cases, has been treated very badly. Because I think what happens with this crazy issue, crazy issue, when it comes to men being able to play in women’s sports is just ridiculous.”
“And very unfair to women. And very demeaning to women,” the president continued.

The comments came after Daily Wire host Matt Walsh first posed the question in his groundbreaking 2022 documentary “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is a Woman</a>?” that turned the Democrats&#8217; issue about trans-identifying males competing in women’s sports and being allowed in female spaces on its head.
Trump understood how insane the Left’s view about allowing men in women’s spaces was and successfully wrangled it from the Democrats during the 2024 election, helping to return him back to the White House, where he&#8217;s made it clear trans-identifying males can never be women, no matter what they do.
Earlier this week at the Women’s History Month event in the East Room of the White House, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megyn-kelly-riley-gaines-celebrate-trumps-comments-about-women-and-trans-identifying-men" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump pointed</a> to the Executive Order he signed that the United States will only recognize two genders.
“For four long years, we had an administration that tried to abolish the very concept of womanhood and replace it with radical gender ideology. … Under the Trump administration, we’re ending the Marxist war on women,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/GBNEWS/status/1904986924692959382">said</a>.
“No matter how many surgeries you have, or chemicals you inject, if you are born with male DNA in every cell of your body, you can never become a woman,” he added. “You’re not going to be a woman.”
“And that’s why last month, I proudly signed a historic executive order to ban [trans-identifying] men from competing in women’s sports,” the president continued, noting that he also banned “puberty blockers and the sexual mutilation of minors.”

In accordance with executive orders signed by President Donald Trump, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued guidance on the reality of gender, specifically declaring that there are only two genders and defining gendered terms, like &#8220;woman.&#8221;
The guidance, <a href="https://womenshealth.gov/sites/default/files/_images/2025/2.19.25%20Defining%20Sex%20Guidance%20for%20Federal%20Agencies%2C%20External%20Partners%2C%20and%20the%20Public%20FINAL.pdf">issued</a> Wednesday, specifically aligns with Trump&#8217;s Executive Order 14168, &#8220;Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.&#8221;
&#8220;There are only two sexes, female and male, because there are only two types of gametes,&#8221; the guidance reads. &#8220;An individual human is either female or male based on whether the person is of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova) or sperm.&#8221;
HHS, which is headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., emphasizes that the &#8220;sex of a human, female or male, is determined genetically at conception (fertilization), and is observable before birth&#8221; — language that prompted praise from pro-life advocates.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
WOW! HHS just issued a new guidance acknowledging that human life begins at conception and that there are only two sexes 👏 <a href="https://t.co/jad8SkMVUz">https://t.co/jad8SkMVUz</a>… <a href="https://t.co/i1iVOHDv5z">pic.twitter.com/i1iVOHDv5z</a>

Among additional gendered language, the department officially defines what a woman is. Democrats and left-wing activists in recent years have tried to promote that males can be women, causing massive disruption to female spaces, safety, and opportunities. Meanwhile, they were unwilling and unable to define the term, as highlighted throughout Matt Walsh&#8217;s groundbreaking documentary, aptly titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is a Woman?</a>&#8221;
As HHS puts it, a woman is defined as &#8220;an adult human female.&#8221;
The guidance also defines sex, female, male, girl, man, boy, mother, and father — all terms that are vital in relation to science and health:
<blockquote>Definitions
Sex is a person’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.
Female is a person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing eggs (ova).
Male is a person of the sex characterized by a reproductive system with the biological function of producing sperm.
Woman is an adult human female.
Girl is a minor human female.
Man is an adult human male.
Boy is a minor human male.
Mother is a female parent.
Father is a male parent.</blockquote>

By this point everyone knows Hollywood award shows include nothing but preachy speeches from entitled, overpaid, and overhyped celebrities. These cultural elites gather together in a room to congratulate themselves on making movies that feel more like lectures than entertainment and releasing songs that barely qualify as music.
These celebs love to lecture the masses about their progressive causes as they accept gold trophies from each other. This year’s Grammy Awards included speeches referencing illegal immigration, “trans rights,” and an award winner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alicia-keys-mocked-for-saying-dei-is-not-a-threat-its-a-gift-during-grammys-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> “DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift.”
It’s always the same during these self-congratulatory monologues. We normal people roll our eyes, laugh out loud, and change the channel.
If you’re ready to give up on woke awards shows but you’re not ready to switch off the television, it’s time to reclaim your screen time with films and documentaries that celebrate faith, family, and, above all, common sense. 
From action-packed thrillers to thought-provoking deep-dive documentaries, we’ve come up with a list of the best content that won’t make you cringe.

Run Hide Fight

For the past decade, one issue has confronted our country like no other. And for one decade, The Daily Wire stood at the forefront of the fight, refusing to bow to cultural pressure — even when the cost was enormous.
As our society embraced the transgender delusion and pushed it onto innocent children, we did what others wouldn’t. We told the truth. We fought back. And because of you — our readers, subscribers, and supporters — we won.
This week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled &#8220;Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,&#8221; banning these horrific procedures on minors.
This moment didn’t just happen — it was won through years of relentless fighting.
<h3>&#8220;You Can Have the World — If You Sell Your Soul&#8221;</h3>
In a town hall reflecting on this victory, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing told the story of how close we came to a very different future.
In 2019, as The Daily Wire was gaining major traction, a big Hollywood talent agency came knocking. They saw our success and wanted in—with one condition: &#8220;You can talk about abortion. You can talk about small government. But you have to drop the trans issue.&#8221;
We said no.
&#8220;Essentially, we were being told, ‘You can have the world, and it will only cost you your soul.’ … We chose our souls,&#8221; Boreing said.
And that choice was only possible because of you.
<h3>Your Support Let Us Fight Back</h3>

Jeremy's Razors

Here&#8217;s a little history on barbaric medical experiments that you probably weren&#8217;t taught in school. In the early 1950s, lobotomies were having something of a heyday in the United States.
Approximately 50,000 lobotomies were performed in just a couple of years. Doctors were eager to drill holes into people&#8217;s skulls and carve out brain matter. But the United States was an outlier in this regard. Elsewhere in the world, around the same time, lobotomies were being outlawed. The Soviet Union banned lobotomies in 1950, with officials saying the practice was &#8220;contrary to the principles of humanity&#8221; because it turned people into, &#8220;idiots.&#8221; Soon afterwards, countries like Germany and Japan followed suit with their own bans on lobotomies. But the United States never implemented a similar ban of its own. To this day, there is no federal decree banning lobotomies — even though it&#8217;s universally recognized as a grotesque procedure that has a permanent, catastrophic effect on some of the most vulnerable people in society.
In 2025, of course, this is something of a moot point. Lobotomies aren&#8217;t performed in the United States anymore. People become hollowed-out, 50-IQ shells of their former selves through a steady diet of TikTok and Netflix instead. But at the same time, we do have a kind of modern analogue to lobotomies in this country. For the past decade or so, the idea of &#8220;transgender medicine&#8221; has taken hold in pretty much every major hospital. Like lobotomies, so-called trans medicine promises to fix a serious mental problem by artificially modifying — and in some cases carving up — the human body. And like lobotomies, oftentimes, these transgender procedures are performed on children. As we&#8217;ve documented many times, hospitals all over the country have provided cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers to minors, in order to affirm their subjective sense of gender (and to make some money for the hospital, of course). And in some cases, hospitals have gone beyond that. They&#8217;ve offered full-on surgeries as well, including double mastectomies and &#8220;vaginoplasties&#8221;, to children under the age of 18. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is not a right-wing talking point. Pull up research papers from, say, Boston&#8217;s Children&#8217;s Hospital, and you&#8217;ll find that they&#8217;ve <a href="https://x.com/wesyang/status/1559930612546523140" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> to performing dozens of double mastectomies on minors. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-troubling-case-of-jazz-jennings-the-medias-first-transgender-child">Jazz Jennings</a> was 17 years old when surgeons mutilated his genitals and created a fake &#8220;vagina&#8221; in its place. There is no denying it: As was the case with lobotomies, children are being permanently disfigured in the name of junk science.
But as of yesterday, the analogy to lobotomies ends there. That&#8217;s because this time around, the Trump administration has made it very clear that we&#8217;re not going to wait for the rest of the world to ban this barbarism. We&#8217;re going to do it ourselves. Thanks to four years of Democrat rule, we are still, once again, behind much of the western world here. But better late than never. It has now been declared at the highest levels of government that there is no justifiable reason whatsoever to castrate, sterilize, or mutilate a young child in order to affirm that child&#8217;s alleged &#8220;gender identity,&#8221; which is a meaningless, invented and completely unscientific concept. We&#8217;re going to lay the groundwork for massive lawsuits against the butchers who have taken part in this affront to common sense and human decency. We&#8217;re going to stop forcing taxpayers to subsidize the quacks behind this fraud. We&#8217;re going to empower the DOJ to pursue criminal action against anyone who mutilates the genitals of a child. And that&#8217;s just the beginning.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/mws-ep-1525-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
All of these tenets were outlined in the executive order that Donald Trump signed yesterday, which is <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entitled</a>, &#8220;PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CHEMICAL AND SURGICAL MUTILATION.&#8221; To be clear, this is distinct from Trump&#8217;s other orders on gender ideology, which we&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTBFEsUfKik" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed</a> before. Previously, Trump has banned transgender-identifying people in the military, and he&#8217;s established that there are only two genders. He&#8217;s also eliminated all forms of DEI. But as important as those orders are, this one is even more expansive and far-reaching. It&#8217;s not an exaggeration to say that Trump has just signed one of the top-5 most important executive orders in the history of the United States, at a minimum.
So, let&#8217;s go through it in detail. And as we do, I&#8217;ll make it clear what this order does, and what it doesn&#8217;t do. To begin with, the order defines &#8220;gender-affirming care&#8221; as the equivalent of &#8220;chemical and surgical mutilation,&#8221; which encompasses everything from surgeries to puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones. So right away, the federal government has just eliminated the Biden administration&#8217;s endorsement of &#8220;gender-affirming care.&#8221; And now we&#8217;ve replaced it with much more accurate terminology.
Then the order makes, by far, its most important contribution to ending gender ideology in this country. I will recap <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the order</a> here, and then I&#8217;ll explain why this matters so much: &#8220;The blatant harm done to children by chemical and surgical mutilation cloaks itself in medical necessity, spurred by guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which lacks scientific integrity.&#8221; The order then states that all federal agencies, including HHS, must rescind any and all reliance on WPATH guidelines.
It then states that the new HHS secretary, &#8220;shall publish a review of the existing literature on best practices for promoting the health of children who assert gender dysphoria, rapid-onset gender dysphoria, or other identity-based confusion.&#8221;
On the surface, you might think this particular part of the order isn&#8217;t necessarily that important. But it&#8217;s actually critical, for two reasons. First of all, as I&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2DEkBALrT0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlined</a> at some length before, WPATH is — and has always been — an organization full of dishonest and demented charlatans. The internal <a href="https://environmentalprogress.org/big-news/wpath-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WPATH files</a>, as reported by Michael Shellenberger, demonstrated very clearly that WPATH understands that children can&#8217;t consent to chemical or physical castration. But they pushed it anyway — in part because the Biden administration <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/25/health/transgender-minors-surgeries.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encouraged</a> them to do so. And yet, major hospitals have adopted WPATH&#8217;s guidelines for so-called &#8220;trans medicine,&#8221; wholesale, over the last few years.
This is happening for a very specific reason. Doctors — including &#8220;gender doctors&#8221; — are terrified of one thing, which is malpractice lawsuits. Malpractice lawsuits can bankrupt doctors. They can destroy entire hospitals, if they&#8217;re big enough. So there&#8217;s a lot of risk involved in sterilizing or castrating a child. At the same time, these doctors desperately want to perform &#8220;gender affirming procedures,&#8221; because they make a lot of money for the hospital. As you might remember, I found a <a href="https://x.com/mattwalshblog/status/1572313523232931840" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> of a Vanderbilt doctor saying exactly that.
The solution that these gender doctors have decided on, is to defer to the self-appointed &#8220;experts&#8221; at WPATH. They know that, if they can point to an established &#8220;standard of care&#8221; from some governing body, then they&#8217;re basically immune from malpractice lawsuits. That&#8217;s how malpractice law works. If doctors can show that they were just following established guidelines, then you can&#8217;t sue them.
That&#8217;s why this Trump executive order is so important. From this point forward, the WPATH guidelines are no longer the &#8220;standard of care,&#8221; by any definition. The federal government — and its healthcare agency, the HHS — have just publicly rejected everything WPATH stands for. The White House and HHS have just labeled WPATH &#8220;junk science,&#8221; which is exactly what it is. So doctors can no longer hide behind WPATH&#8217;s guidelines to avoid malpractice lawsuits. And right away, that will cause their malpractice insurance to go through the roof. It&#8217;ll dramatically enhance their liability. And eventually it will make them stop these procedures entirely.
But just in case it doesn&#8217;t, the executive order contains this provision: &#8220;The head of each executive department or agency (agency) that provides research or education grants to medical institutions, including medical schools and hospitals, shall &#8230; immediately take appropriate steps to ensure that institutions receiving Federal research or education grants end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.&#8221;
In other words, if a hospital receives any kind of federal funding — which every major hospital does — then they need to stop castrating and sterilizing children. Otherwise, they stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars. And in fact, they might lose even more than that. The order continues by mandating that, &#8220;The Attorney General shall: review Department of Justice enforcement of section 116 of title 18, United States Code, and prioritize enforcement of protections against female genital mutilation.&#8221;
Additionally, the attorney general must, &#8220;in consultation with the Congress, work to draft, propose, and promote legislation to enact a private right of action for children and the parents of children whose healthy body parts have been damaged by medical professionals practicing chemical and surgical mutilation, which should include a lengthy statute of limitations.&#8221;
Taken together, these two provisions don&#8217;t just make it easier for victims to sue doctors who perform these barbaric procedures. They also open the door for the federal government to investigate and even imprison doctors who mutilate the bodies of children. 
As you might remember, around 20 years ago, the Left claimed to care about &#8220;female genital mutilation&#8221; in Africa, so they passed a law outlawing the practice in the United States. But now, under the guise of trans medicine, female genital mutilation is supposedly progressive, somehow. Now the Trump administration is threatening to use that criminal law to go after these gender doctors. And at the same time, the Trump administration is also cutting any kind of government-sponsored insurance that would cover these practices.
Having said all that, I need to make it clear that this executive order — as momentous as it is — does not, by itself, ban child sterilization and mutilation in this country. It makes it far more risky for doctors to perform these procedures. It suggests that the DOJ might be launching criminal investigations soon. And it makes it a lot harder for some of these hospitals and insurance companies to collect taxpayer money. But it&#8217;s not a direct ban, by itself. Outside of the many states that have banned this insanity, it remains legal — in places like California and Minnesota and so on. And on top of that, if Democrats retake the White House in four years, they can reverse all of this. Trump has done the absolute maximum of what a president can do on this issue. He can say, with absolute sincerity, that he has done everything he can to put an end to this insanity. But he’s going to need help to finish the job.
Therefore, what&#8217;s needed now, as I&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40IDFd_7MY0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> many times before, is a law banning these procedures at the federal level. This is clearly an ideal moment to advance a national ban like that, because gender ideology is now less popular than it has ever been. Trans activists have been utterly humiliated and rejected on the national stage. They haven&#8217;t even really mustered any kind of outrage about Trump&#8217;s previous executive orders dismantling their ideology. So it stands to reason that they would be powerless as Congress passes the killshot, which is a complete and total ban on chemical and physical mutilation in the name of gender ideology.
As the executive order itself states, &#8220;Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.&#8221;
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Matt Walsh&#8217;s groundbreaking documentary &#8220;What Is A Woman?&#8221; on DailyWire+</a></h3>
Just a year ago, as a man pretending to be a woman led our nation&#8217;s federal health agency, it was easy to doubt that this moment would ever come. I have said for years that child “gender transitions” will eventually be a thing of the past, and that nobody will want to admit that they ever supported it or tolerated it. Now that time is almost here. The barbarism of child gender butchery is on its very last legs. Very soon, you won&#8217;t be able to find a single person in the country who admits to ever having supported it. For the sake of millions of confused and vulnerable people all over the country, and in particular for the sake of children, we have no choice but to finish the job.
One other thing about this. The child butchery business is collapsing. Soon it will be gone. It will be ash. And history will look back on it with horror and shame and confusion. But I want to be clear about something. If you are a doctor or medical professional or therapist or psychiatrist who pushed this insanity on children, if you participated in and profited from the psychological and physical abuse of children, this isn’t over for you. You don’t get to just move on. Those of us who have been fighting you for years will not let you just walk away Scott free. We will not rest until you are punished for what you’ve done. You deserve a military tribunal and the sentence that is given to those who commit human rights atrocities. But that probably won’t happen, so instead we will settle with seeing that you are bankrupted, humiliated, shamed, ostracized, and forever alienated from civilized society. We will not forget you. We will remember your names. For as long as there are people in this country who must live forever with the damage you inflicted on them as children, then you also should have to live with the consequences. They can’t pretend that it never happened. And so neither should you. 
Hopefully you’ve noticed that the conservatives you’ve had to deal with in this fight are a different breed. We tore down your whole industry piece by piece. We did exactly what we said we would do. And so now when we say that we are going to make sure that you are held accountable for your crimes against humanity, you should know that we mean it, and we will do it. This isn’t over. I promise you that.

With Hollywood constantly cramming leftist politics down viewers’ throats, it can be challenging to find a movie or series that will stick to what it’s supposed to do: enlighten and entertain.  
Instead of endlessly scrolling through your streaming services before settling on a below-average movie, let us help you make a decision. DailyWire+ has you covered with a great collection of films and series for you and your family. And right now, you can subscribe to DailyWire+ to watch these titles for 30% off an annual subscription. 
<h3><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/amiracist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist?</a></h3>
Start with the newest hit movie from Matt Walsh and The Daily Wire: “<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/amiracist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist?</a>” Follow along as Walsh goes undercover and talks to some of the leading diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) voices, hilariously skewering the absurdity of race hustlers. 
“Am I Racist?” took the country by storm this fall after becoming The Daily Wire’s first theatrical release for an in-house production. The film quickly set records, grossing more than $12 million at the box office and debuting in the top five films in the country on its opening weekend. Walsh’s film then became the most successful release in DailyWire+ history. 
<h3><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/wiaw/subscribe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is a Woman?</a></h3>

“Lady Ballers” tells the story of a down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach named Rob, played by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who will do anything to win — in this case, teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.
After coming out on DailyWire+ last year, the movie quickly received rave reviews from the audience on Rotten Tomatoes, where it still sits at an 88% rating.

While Zoe finds herself with the option to run and hide, she soon faces the sobering realization that she is in a unique position to save lives — a decision that ends up requiring her to fight.

<h3><a href="https://get.dailywire.com/terror-on-the-prairie/v2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terror on the Prairie</a></h3>

“Identity Crisis dives headfirst into what was one of the most pressing issues of the 2024 election, and we’re thrilled to partner with Turning Point USA to distribute this project that is rooted in shared values and a commitment to fearless storytelling,” Daily Wire Co-Founder and Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing said.
The film is inspired by Matt Walsh’s groundbreaking 2022 documentary, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is a Woman?</a>,” which also tackled culturally important gender issues.
“Daily Wire and Matt Walsh’s ‘What is a Woman?’ was a triumph that changed the cultural and political landscape in America. ‘Identity Crisis’ is the culmination,” TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk said. “TPUSA is honored to partner with DW to make sure as many moms, dads, grandparents and kids get to see this film in hopes of ending one of the great human rights crimes of our era, the medical mutilation of America’s children.”
Along with firsthand accounts from victims of the trans movement, “Identity Crisis” features key players fighting that movement, such as activist Riley Gaines, detransitioner Chloe Cole, and author Dr. James Lindsay. The film explores the shocking origins of the trans movement, specifically the disturbing work of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, whose “degenerate” <a href="https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1569321827578560513" target="_blank" rel="noopener">experiments</a> on children also feature in “What Is A Woman?&#8221;
The gripping and at-times challenging documentary ends with a message of hope — and a call to action from one father, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/one-fathers-nightmare-battle-for-3-year-old-son-mom-is-raising-non-binary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harrison Tinsley</a>, putting up the fight of his life for his son.
“We’re at a crazy moment in history, and people are gonna look back: you&#8217;re going to be remembered as a coward, or someone who stood up to protect children. And I’m gonna stand up to protect children,” Tinsley says in the film. “And I want you to do that, too.”
“We need to be brave,” the father says.
&#8220;Identity Crisis” is <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1877716776274075718">free on X</a> through the weekend. The film will be available exclusively on DailyWire+ beginning Monday, January 13.

Daily Wire And TPUSA’s Powerful New Doc ‘Identity Crisis’ Now Streaming On X

Charlie Kirk

While every serious study on gender confusion proves that most children <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/study-most-gender-confused-children-become-gender-co%20nforming-adults/">grow out of it</a> as they become adults, the progressive Left still hails gender transition as a viable, heroic choice for kids. Never has the opportunity been greater for us to model the powerful forces of masculinity and femininity. In an image-driven society that claims womanhood is an outfit, the definition of “male and female” remained under fire in 2024, and I’m proud to be one of the fiery women who beckoned to the call.
It only took a few brave soldiers to reveal the dangers of weakness. Terrified of offending people who bottom feed on offense, too many influencers shrunk back when it was high time to rise. It took people like Riley Gaines, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Isabel Brown, Brett Cooper, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-ben-shapiro-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a>, Ted Cruz, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-michael-knowles-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Knowles</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/watch/jordan-peterson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jordan Peterson</a> to show the world what strength really looks like. Their boldness ripped through the haze of public approval and showed young people how to take a stand.
Taking a stand on gender became the new way to go rogue. 
Women like lacrosse coach Kim Russell and P.E. teacher Jessica Tapia took a stand against men in women’s sports and men in women’s bathrooms, teaching athletes the meaning of righteous resistance. Authors J.K. Rowling, Helen Joyce, and Professor Kathleen Stock laid themselves on the altar to set an example for millions. There is one thing that Matt Walsh, Abigail Shirer, and even trans influencer Blair White proved we can be united about: male and female matters. Gender is physically immutable, but it is also a calling and an assignment.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Matt Walsh&#8217;s documentary &#8220;What Is A Woman?&#8221;</a></h3>
In my bottomless search for the meaning of gender for my book &#8220;<a href="https://urmore.org/iamawoman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I Am A Woman: Taking Back Our Name</a>,&#8221; I excavated the words male, female, man, and woman penned in Genesis––and discovered gender is as holy as the imago-Dei. In God’s language, gender is an action. The “male” is a servant, steward, champion, and chief who passes the commands of God to the next generation. The “female” is a helper, protector, boundary-keeper, and life-giver who brings life to every environment she is in. A true man lays down his life for her; a true woman uses her voice to stand against injustice.
Men are created to protect, and when they don’t, they are not truly men in the deepest sense of the word. The men who stood up for us this year reminded us that chivalry’s not dead. At a time when children are being mutilated on the altar of lies; when trans activists claim tampons should be in the boys’ bathroom; and when women are treated as undeserving of protection in changing spaces, weak men stayed silent. Strong men, on the other hand, fulfilled the purpose of masculinity by relentlessly battling for our daughters and granddaughters to live free of tyranny.
The tyrants who allowed men in women’s Olympic boxing thrust women’s worth to the world stage — and the weak were separated from the strong. It was a Rosa Parks moment for women. Would we deny the truth that physically we are weaker? That men can punch over <a href="https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=9827261" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2.5 harder</a> than women and <a href="https://www.thehotline.org/stakeholders/domestic-violence-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one in three</a> women have been victims of male violence? Or would we rise, use our voices, and fight for our dignity no matter the stakes?
The “big red wave” Trump predicted came true, showing the world that real warriors don’t back down while evil prevails. As Dr. Jordan Peterson <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84744973-when-you-have-something-to-say-silence-is%20a-lie-jordan-b-peterson-noteb?from_search=true&amp;from_srp=true&amp;qid=QQgPOZwZO4&amp;rank=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a>, “When you have something to say, silence is a lie.” Every influencer who used their voice in 2024 gave strength to the rest of us. We watched as ferocious mama bears rose to the surface on Instagram, blazing the trail as they ripped into feckless school boards. As Matthew Arnold <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/413325-if-there-ever-comes-a-time-when-the-women-of" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a>, ”If there ever comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known.” Women aren’t created to be weak, subservient creatures. We were created to speak, to protect children, and to redirect culture when it’s headed in the wrong direction. We are rising, and we will not give up until the gender ideologues are rendered mute.
I am thankful the word woman has been under fire because it is bringing out the gold in who we are.
Yet the war is not over. It will take strong fathers, fearless mothers, and resilient coaches, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and caregivers to eradicate gender confusion from our culture. Right now, you can take action by joining a coalition to save women’s sports, support legislation protecting women’s spaces, or <a href="https://urmore.org/donate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stand with me</a> to teach young people about their identity and provide resources for girls with body dysmorphia. It will take every single one of us to stop the madness and declare ourselves the victors before the war is won. When men and women stand together, we are a solid wall against the lies of gender fluidity. Male and female unity is the ancient path, the surprising answer, the unbreakable truth. It is <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201%3A28&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the only way</a> we “rule, subdue, and take dominion” against the anarchy threatening the future.
Someday, our descendants will look back on history and thank us for standing up for them. Yet even if they don’t, we will do it anyway because it was never about us; it will forever and always be about the children who follow in our stead.
We have been given the greatest opportunity to live up to our names: man and woman, male and female, mother and father. In ancient Hebrew, the letters that make up “man” spell “hand of fire.” A real man is a servant, steward, and champion who uses his hands of fire to protect us. The letters that make up “woman” spell “breath of fire.” A real woman is a life-giver, spiritual warrior, and stabilizer who uses her breath of fire to protect the children. In 2024, we rose together and showed the world the true meaning of gender. 
We didn’t bow.
We didn’t shrink back.
We rose to the call of the day.
And though the battle is not over, we will win.

The Daily Wire and Turning Point USA announced Thursday that they are teaming up on the powerful new documentary &#8220;Identity Crisis,&#8221; which scrutinizes the radical gender ideology movement.
Inspired by and building upon Matt Walsh’s groundbreaking 2022 documentary, &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is a Woman?</a>&#8221; the new documentary has a sharp focus on the societal failures enabling the continued mutilation of children. The announcement comes mere days after the Tennessee Attorney General <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/12/06/exclusive-tn-senator-jack-johnson-explains-what-prompted-legislation-protect-children-trans-surgeries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defended the state’s law protecting children from trans surgeries</a> at the Supreme Court of the United States; the legislation in question was spurred by reporting by Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire investigating Vanderbilt’s gender clinic. 
The news of Daily Wire’s acquisition of the film was shared onstage by Ben Shapiro, editor emeritus and co-founder of The Daily Wire before unveiling the official trailer for audiences at AmericaFest 2024. The announcement emphasizes a shared and ongoing mission of the two organizations to impact pivotal cultural issues.
&#8220;Identity Crisis&#8221; is set to premiere on X on January 10 and will be available for free through the weekend. The film will then be available exclusively on DailyWire+ beginning Monday, January 13.

“After the resounding impact of What Is a Woman?, it’s only natural for The Daily Wire to continue tackling the cultural questions that shape our society,” said Daily Wire Co-Founder and Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing. “&#8217;Identity Crisis&#8217; dives headfirst into what was one of the most pressing issues of the 2024 election, and we’re thrilled to partner with Turning Point USA to distribute this project that is rooted in shared values and a commitment to fearless storytelling.”
“Daily Wire and Matt Walsh’s &#8216;What is a Woman?&#8217; was a triumph that changed the cultural and political landscape in America. ‘Identity Crisis’ is the culmination,” said Kirk. “TPUSA is honored to partner with DW to make sure as many moms, dads, grandparents and kids get to see this film in hopes of ending one of the great human rights crimes of our era, the medical mutilation of America’s children.”
The gripping new documentary features interviews with gender experts, victims of the mutilation movement, and key players of the conservative movement including activist Riley Gaines, detransitioner Chloe Cole, and author Dr. James Lindsay. 
Also spotlighted are the victimized children and parents who are struggling to fight the rampant social contagion that has infiltrated families across the country. Through frank, heartbreaking conversations and an unflinching look at the medical realities of “transitioning,” &#8220;Identity Crisis&#8221; asks: what are the ramifications of these movements for our country’s society and future generations?
&#8220;Identity Crisis&#8221; is written and directed by Marcus Wada and produced by Kevin Ford, Wada, and Natalie Bovard, with Charlie Kirk, Nelda Buckman, and Marina Minas serving as executive producers.

The Daily Wire And Turning Point USA Team Up For New Documentary: ‘Identity Crisis’

The Daily Wire & TPUSA Announce Partnership For New Documentary 'Identity Crisis' 

Ben Shapiro

The United Kingdom’s Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case in which the justices must define “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">what is a woman</a>” as it pertains to the “Equality Act” by the Scottish government.
Five Supreme Court justices &#8212; three men and two women &#8212; agreed to hear the case brought by the women’s rights group For Women Scotland (FWS) against the Scottish legislature after it <a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2024/11/scottish-government-is-ignoring-womens-rights">passed a law stating that every Scottish public board</a> should include an equal amount of men and woman. However, the Scottish government&#8217;s definition of &#8220;woman&#8221; includes trans-identifying men with a “gender recognition certificate” (GRC), the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/uk-supreme-court-trans-gender-case-cf2bbc911c59b147a5261f431ee93eb7">Associated Press</a> reported. 
It also claimed that the certificate entitled transgender individuals to the same protection under the Equality Act as those born female, the <a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2024/11/scottish-government-is-ignoring-womens-rights">NewStatesmen</a> reported.
Lawyer for FWS, Aidan O’Neill, told the justices that “sex” should refer to biological sex as understood “in ordinary, everyday language&#8221; when it comes to the Equality Act. A 2022 decision by Scotland’s Court of Session ruled that for the purpose of equality, sex was “<a href="https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/media/lgufy1zd/court-of-session-petition-of-for-women-scotland-limited-for-judicial-review-13-december-2022.pdf">not limited to biological or birth sex</a>” and that it included those with a GRC.
“Our position is your sex, whether you are a man or a woman or a girl or a boy is determined from conception in utero, even before one’s birth, by one’s body,” O’Neill said. “It is an expression of one’s bodily reality. It is an immutable biological state.”
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
For Women Scotland&#8217;s director, Trina Budge, pointed out, “Not tying the definition of sex to its ordinary meaning means that public boards could conceivably comprise of 50% men, and 50% men with certificates, yet still lawfully meet the targets for female representation.”

FWS includes such high profile members as famed “Harry Potter” author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/j-k-rowling">J.K. Rowling</a>, who reportedly donated what would be equivalent to more than $10,000 to the group’s fight.
Rowling has been a very vocal advocate for women and recently took to <a href="https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1862651136500494557">social media</a> and shared a quote from O’Neill during the hearing.
