EXPOSED: The Democrats’ mutilating, ‘gender affirming’ agenda

Wednesday, June 12, 2024, 7:35 pm | Randy Thomasson

If there’s one current issue about harming children that disturbs and grieves moral-values parents and grandparents, it’s the transsexual targeting of boys and girls.

Yet Democrat politicians in California and other states keep pushing the “trans” agenda, running roughshod over our God-given liberties and constitutional rights. Realize fully half of the U.S. states permit Frankensteinian operations on children, cutting off healthy body parts that can never be restored.

And these “sex change” procedures increase suicide risk. Honest studies show after receiving “puberty blockers,” more minors experience deteriorating “mental health” and are twice as likely to attempt suicide and be hospitalized. For the “trans” agenda robs young people who are sexually confused of any hope of recovery, producing deep regret.

On top of current California law — which promotes transsexuality to schoolchildren, imposes transsexuality in hiring and housing, and pays for transsexual procedures and operations for “emancipated minors,” as well as illegals and children being brought to California from other states — Democrats and RINOs continue to target more children:

AB 2442 by homosexual activist and Democrat assemblymember Rick Zbur of Hollywood would accelerate the harmful “sex change” industry in California by expediting so-called “gender-affirming health care and gender-affirming mental health care” license applications, similar to the current expediting of abortionists’ licenses. 

And it’s their incessant deception. Because you won’t hear Democrat politicians admit abortion is chopping up babies or “gender-affirming” surgery chops off healthy body parts. Instead, AB 2442 tries to hide its horrible maiming of children and adults by stating: …”gender-affirming health care” and “gender-affirming mental health care” shall have the same meaning as provided in Section 16010.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

What is Section 16010.2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code?

(A) “Gender affirming health care” means medically necessary health care that respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined by the patient, and may include, but is not limited to, the following:

(i) Interventions to suppress the development of endogenous secondary sex characteristics.

(ii) Interventions to align the patient’s appearance or physical body with the patient’s gender identity.

(iii) Interventions to alleviate symptoms of clinically significant distress resulting from gender dysphoria, as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition.

So there you have it. “Interventions” mean both hormone injections blocking puberty development and surgeries to both remove healthy body parts and “form” fake body parts. Every “need” is subjective, there’s no minimum age, and these surgeries are irreversible.

Which California state legislators have already voted in favor of AB 2442? Nearly all of the Democrats and three Republicans: Juan Alanis of Stanislaus County, Marie Waldron of east San Diego County, and Greg Wallis of the Greater Palm Springs area.

Making it even worse for children are the Democrat-Party-controlled cities of San Francisco, West Hollywood, and Sacramento, all of which have passed resolutions declaring their cities “a sanctuary for transgender people.”

And on June 11, Democrat-Party-controlled San Francisco went even further, declaring itself “a sanctuary city for transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary and Two-Spirit people.” Such is the logical extension of sexual anarchy.

For unless restrained, expect Democrat-controlled cities to eventually “protect” depraved men who engage in bestiality (“sex” with animals) and necrophilia (“sex” with corpses). For they can argue that neither animals nor dead people can refuse to consent. Such is their devilish. perverse logic and their constant expansion of unnatural and sinful behavior.

“My country, and others, found there is no solid evidence supporting the medical transitioning of young people. Why aren’t American clinicians paying attention?”

Sign the science-based Doctors Protecting Children declaration

Saturday, June 8, 2024, 8:38 am | Randy Thomasson

There’s a new campaign to pressure the medical establishment to stop promoting “sex change” treatments and operations for children.

Announced Thursday by science-based physicians, healthcare professionals, and medical organizations, the Doctors Protecting Children coalition is looking for millions of Americans to sign their declaration urging American medical professional organizations to cease their so-called “gender-affirming care” that targets confused kids for lifelong ruination.

From the conclusion of this excellent declaration: “…we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.”

I’ve publicly signed the science-based Doctors Protecting Children Declaration, and you can too. It’s quick and easy, and you can hide your name if you wish. See and sign the declaration now.

Transgenderism is explicitly addressed in the Bible. This fact reminds us that the phenomenon of trans-sexual expression is not new. The practice is a deviant display of witness rebellion against the created order of God. For those, like Foucault, who saw gender as merely social constructs, enforced by puritanical power structures and subject to deconstruction, the voice of God in the Bible still speaks: “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 22:5).

ALERT: Oppose ‘assisted suicide’ for mentally or physically disabled (including diabetes, asthma, or being 18 with an ‘incurable’ STD)

Monday, April 8, 2024, 8:34 am | Randy Thomasson

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO TAKE ACTION

There are nearly 100 known “diseases” worldwide that the medical establishment has deemed “incurable.”

These include diseases, infections, or illnesses that older teenagers and young adults can have, including obesity, asthma, herpes simplex, irritable bowel syndrome, joint pain, and psoriasis, and congenital anomalies, such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, scoliosis, type 1 diabetes, and hearing loss.

What’s more, there are several thousand “incurable” diseases worldwide. As the liberal-establishment Washington Post reported in 2016: “We generally say: Several thousand diseases affect humans of which only about 500 have any U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment,” said Cindy McConnell, a spokeswoman at NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).

But did you know that if the Democrat Party legislators’ new “assisted suicide” bill passes, patients with any of these “incurable” maladies are permitted to obtain a lethal dose of drugs for committing “assisted suicide”?

SB 1196 would spawn a broad, new death culture, where physically or mentally disabled Californians would be offered “assistance” to die. How horrible to offer “assisted suicide” to a depressed person!

And for those who want to focus on dementia patients, can you imagine the shaky “consent” they would be coerced to give? Realize “self-administration” of a lethal dose isn’t necessarily true when, under SB 1196, a witness is not required, nor are authorities permitted to charge any “assistant” — not even legal heirs who “assist” with the ingestion of the lethal dose — with murder. How certain is “choice” when the final choice to ingest lethal drugs is legally hidden?

Under SB 1196, feelings, not fact, will be the standard. Because being depressed and thinking life is “intolerable” and not “acceptable” would permit Californians with any incurable disability or illness to be offered suicide rather than counseling. And ironically, this is happening when effective pain compliance is readily available.

SB 1196 permits the “assisted suicide” of teenagers, since at age 18, you can qualify. It says so right at the top of the bill:

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Section 443.1 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:

443.1. As used in this part, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “Adult” means an individual 18 years of age or older.

Therefore, under SB 1196, if you’re 18, and have an “incurable” illness or disease of any kind (including an incurable* and possibly fatal sexually-transmitted infection**) that limits your “capability” to any extent, and you say you’re “suffering,” and feel that life is “intolerable,” and claim that continued treatment is not “acceptable” to you, and declare you’re not “willing to attempt” other treatments, you get to either swallow a lethal dose of drugs or be injected with the lethal drugs with the “assistance” of “a health care provider placing an intravenous catheter…into the qualified individual’s vein.”

*Incurable, viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs) include Hepatitis B, herpes, HIV, HPV

**Research has found several STIs that can cause death in women ages 15-44: syphilis, HPV, HIV, hepatitis, genital herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia

See the loose, subjective, overly-broad words and phrases in SB 1196, as decribed by the Democrat-controlled Legislative Counsel’s office:

This bill would replace the term “terminal disease” for purposes of the act with “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” defined as a medical condition that (1) is a serious and incurable illness or disease, (2) has placed the individual in a state of irreversible decline in capability and the individual’s suffering is palpable without prospect of improvement, (3) is causing the individual to endure physical suffering due to the illness, disease, or state of decline that is intolerable to the individual and cannot be relieved in a manner the individual deems acceptable, and there is no proven treatment for the individual’s situation that the individual has not attempted or is willing to attempt due to the nature or side effects of the treatment, and (4) after taking into account all of the individual’s medical circumstances, it is reasonably foreseeable that the condition will become the individual’s natural cause of death, as specified. The bill would, for purposes of the act, include a diagnosis of dementia as a grievous and irremediable medical condition, if the individual meets specified capacity requirements. The bill would specify that a sole diagnosis of a mental disorder is not a grievous and irremediable medical condition. The bill would also expand the definition of “mental health specialist” to include neurologists. The bill would additionally authorize the self-administration of an aid-in-dying drug through intravenous injection.

PLEASE ACT NOW

Don’t let California replace fact with feelings about whether a lethal dose of drugs can be given to depressed teenagers and adults.

There is a chance to defeat SB 1196, since the leading assisted-suicide group, “Compassion & Choices” opposes it, and so do some disabled rights groups. The loose and very broad language and definitions have made SB 1196 a very poorly-written bill.

STEP 1: Please call and email your own state senator to say, “Oppose SB 1196 as amended April 4. This radical bill would permit a depressed 18-year-old with an incurable STD or other incurable disability to obtain a lethal dose of drugs. Protect depressed or disabled Californians from deadly coercion. Oppose SB 1196.”

STEP 2: Please also leave easy voicemail messages for the 11-member State Senate Health Committee before its April 22 hearing on SB 1196. Call Monday through Friday from 7pm to 8am and all weekend. Unless you live in a senator’s district, when you leave your afterhours voicemail message (the same suggested message as above), do not provide your name or location (if you do, they’ll trash your message).
