Transgender Puberty Blocking Drug Linked To Thousands Of Deaths, FDA Data Reveals

More than 6,300 adults have died from reactions to a drug that is used as a puberty blocker in gender-confused children, Food & Drug Administration data shows.  

“Between 2012 and June 30 of this year, the FDA documented over 40,764 adverse reactions suffered by patients who took Leuprolide Acetate (Lupron), which is used as a hormone blocker. More than 25,500 reactions logged from 2014-2019 were considered ‘serious,’ including 6,370 deaths,” The Christian Post reported on Thursday.

“Lupron is being prescribed off-label for use in children who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria despite the lack of formal FDA approval for that purpose,” the outlet explained. “The drug is clinically approved for treatment of precocious puberty, a condition where children start their pubertal processes at an abnormally early age and the blocker is administered for a short time until the proper age.”

Michael Laidlaw, a California-based endocrinologist who exposed in April that doctors are giving testosterone to gender-confused girls as young as eight years old, questioned why a psychological disorder like gender dysphoria would be treated with such drugs, instead of “proper psychological care.”

“Gender dysphoria is not an endocrine condition, but is a psychological one and should, therefore, be treated with proper psychological care,” he said, according to The Christian Post. “But it becomes an endocrine condition once you start using puberty blockers and giving cross-sex hormones to kids.”

As highlighted by the outlet, drug sales for Lupron in the United States in 2017 hit about $669 million, an annual report for AbbVie, which produces the drug, showed. 


As previously covered by The Daily Wire, Laidlaw, among other medical doctors and a parent of a gender-confused child, sounded the alarm on the increasing use of transgender-related drugs. The professionals discovered that government-funded research now allows children as young as eight to be put on sex hormones.

“Through FOIA requests, Laidlaw and some of his colleagues ‘found that in 2017 they lowered the minimum age for cross-sex hormones from 13 to 8,'” a report from The Christian Post published in April said. 

“Imagine giving 8-year-old girls testosterone,” the endocrinologist offered. “They are in 3rd or 4th grade. This is unbelievable. But this is going on.”

Gender-confused teen girls as young as 13, Laidlaw warned, are having their breasts removed via mastectomy procedures, and boys the age of 17 are developing penises the developmental age of a nine-year-old’s or losing sexual sensation all together due to hormone blockers. Laidlaw cited TLC’s “I am Jazz” star Jazz Jennings as such an example. Jazz, who is male-to-female transgender, has reportedly never experienced sexual sensations or orgasms because of puberty-blocking drugs, the endocrinologist said.

“Under the nebulous concept of ‘gender identity,’ children as young as 8 are receiving injections for gender transition treatment,” explained Laidlaw, according to the outlet. “The phrase was defined in a recent court case as a person’s ‘core internal sense’ of their own gender and that it was the ‘primary factor’ in determining their sex, not biology,” he added, noting that this information is false.

It's not just false, it's complete madness! Check the 'Doctors and Drugs for Life' link above for the astonishing attempted suicide rates among transgenders. Children are almost always the ones who suffer for adult's madness.

“This whole thing is an experiment on children,” Laidlaw asserted. “We are ignoring the voices of desisters and people who have come out of this and recognize their sex. And the NIH is allowing unethical research to be conducted on adolescents, in my opinion.”

Prince Andrew was an abuser,
Epstein accuser says in TV interview

Virginia Giuffre claims prince was participant
in Jeffrey Epstein’s exploitation of her

An accuser of Jeffrey Epstein has alleged Prince Andrew was “an abuser, a participant” in the disgraced US financier’s exploitation of her as a teenager, in her first television interview.

Virginia Giuffre, formerly Roberts, who was pictured with Prince Andrew in a now notorious photograph, spoke to the US network TV station NBC News about her involvement with Epstein, a convicted sex offender who killed himself in a New York jail in August while facing fresh child sex trafficking charges.

The interview was due to air late on Friday night in the US but there were clips of it on the morning news shows. In them Giuffre tells how Epstein directed her to have sex with other powerful men in his orbit, including, she said, the Queen’s second oldest son, Andrew.

Giuffre has previously alleged she was recruited by Epstein when she was 15 and was coerced into sexual activity with him and associates in return for payments.

She alleged in 2011 testimony that Andrew “knows the truth” about Epstein’s abuse of underage girls and said he should be made to testify. In a December 2014 court filing she claimed she was made to have sex with Andrew, among other friends of the financier. The prince has always vehemently denied the allegations.

In 2015 a court decided that the allegations made by Giuffre about the prince were “immaterial and impertinent” and ordered them to be struck out of a defamation claim against Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell.

The prince hosted Epstein and Maxwell, a daughter of the late, disgraced British newspaper publisher Robert Maxwell. Ghislaine Maxwell has been accused of assisting Epstein’s abuse, but denies any wrongdoing.

Giuffre told NBC news anchor Savannah Guthrie about her allegation that Maxwell played a crucial role in the financier’s alleged sex trafficking racket.

She said: “The first time in London, I was so young. Ghislaine woke me up in the morning and she said, ‘You’re gonna meet a prince today.’ I didn’t know at that point that I was going to be trafficked to that prince.”

She added of Prince Andrew: “He denies that it ever happened. And he’s going to keep denying that it ever happened. But he knows the truth. And I know the truth.”

The prince has previously strongly denied any inappropriate behaviour or of being aware of any such behaviour from Epstein, in rare statements issued from Buckingham Palace. The palace pointed to those previous denials when asked about the Giuffre claims on Friday.

The prince said in a statement last month that he made Epstein’s acquaintance in 1999 and saw him once or twice each year. The prince also said he stayed at several of Epstein’s homes.

He said he did not “see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to [Epstein’s] arrest and conviction”.

He added: “I have said previously that it was a mistake and an error to see him after his release [from prison] in 2010 and I can only reiterate my regret that I was mistaken to think that what I thought I knew of him was evidently not the real person, given what we now know.”

The prince also said: “His suicide has left many unanswered questions and I acknowledge and sympathise with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure.

“This is a difficult time for everyone involved and I am at a loss to be able to understand or explain Mr Epstein’s lifestyle. I deplore the exploitation of any human being and would not condone, participate in, or encourage any such behaviour.”

Giuffre went on to say in the TV interview on Friday, after recounting that she been woken up in London by Maxwell: “That night Prince Andrew came to her house in London. And we went out to club Tramp. Prince Andrew got me alcohol. It was in the VIP section. I’m pretty sure it was vodka.

“Prince Andrew was like, ‘Let’s dance together.’ And I was like, ‘OK.’ And we leave club Tramp. And I hop in the car with Ghislaine and Jeffrey, and Ghislaine said, ‘He’s coming back to the house. And I want you to do for him what you do for Epstein.’ I couldn’t believe it.”

Last month, lawyers for some of Epstein’s victims said Prince Andrew should give sworn testimony on “everything he knows” about Epstein, after the prince said he was appalled by Epstein’s sex crimes.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges in Florida: one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail, followed by a year of community control or house arrest.

He spent his nights in jail and left to his office for 12 hours, 6 days a week. His sweetheart deal is a national disgrace in the USA.




Patriots star Antonio Brown faces second allegation of sexual assault – reports

Some people think they are just utterly irresistible

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown has reportedly been accused of sexual misconduct by a second woman, this time someone who is said to have painted a mural for him.

The accusation comes less than a week after the player’s former personal trainer, Britney Taylor, claimed to have been assaulted and raped by him during training sessions – claims which Brown has firmly denied.

Taylor was expected to meet with the National Football League (NFL ) on Monday to address accusations brought against the Patriots star.

But according to Sports Illustrated, Brown faces a second accusation of sexual misconduct by an artist who had reportedly been invited to his home to paint a mural.

The woman, whose name hasn’t been revealed, said she was offered $1,000 per day to make a mural on the wall of Brown’s home in Pittsburgh.

“He was flirty with me but I paid him no mind because I was there on business, plus, I had already seen him with multiple girls in the short time I was with him,” the artist said.

“I was about 40 percent done on the second day, and I’m on my knees painting the bottom, and he walks up to me butt-ass naked, with a hand cloth covering his [penis] and starts having a conversation with me.”

The woman, who described Brown’s actions as clear sexual harassment, stressed that she didn’t finish the mural adding, however, that the player did pay her $2,000 for the two working days.

Neither the player nor the club have commented on the latest reports, with the Patriots announcing earlier that they are taking Taylor’s accusations “very seriously.”




Colombian Instagram model accused of
running child sex trafficking ring
By Sara Dorn
New York Post

A Colombian Instagram model moonlighted as an international underage sex trafficking madame who recruited vulnerable girls to service celebrity clients, according to authorities.

The high-profile trial for Liliana del Carmen Campos Puello is now underway in Cartagena, where prosecutors say she headquartered the child prostitution ring along with 17 others, The Times of London reported.

Authorities arrested the accused in a July 2018 sting known as “Operation Vesta.”

Among the horrors the child sex slaves were allegedly forced to endure, were tattoo brandings by their “owners” and sex parties on luxury yachts and hotels.

The 48-year-old buxom brunette, nicknamed “La Madame,” reportedly recruited up to 400 girls, many from poor backgrounds, to service glamorous clients, including celebrities and politicians.

On social media, she flaunted the fruits of her labor.

Snaps posted by The Daily Mail show Campos Puello posing with cash and a Louis Vuitton purse while wearing a cleavage-bearing top. In another image, she lounged on a boat in a bikini.

Campos Puello, who was convicted of federal heroin trafficking in New York in 2002 — and also goes by “La Ronca” aka “the husky-voiced woman”— claims all the women were over 18. Prostitution is legal in Colombia.




Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher Arrested On Charges Of Pornography, Soliciting A Child & Sexual Assault Of 13 y/o
EMILY FALENSKI
Daily Caller

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Felipe Vázquez was arrested in his apartment Tuesday in Pittsburgh on a felony warrant out of Lee County, Florida, on the charges of computer pornography, solicitation of a child and providing obscene material to minors, according to the Florida Department of Law enforcement.


Later Tuesday afternoon, his bond was denied and he’s facing additional charges out of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, of statutory sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors and indecent assault of a person less than 16-years-old, according to court records.

His lawyer says there will be a hearing on Sept. 25 to determine if he will be extradited to Florida. Vázquez is currently being held in Allegheny County Jail in Pittsburgh.

Felipe Vazquez, 28, is a Venezuelan baseball player and has been an all-star pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates since 2016. Before that, he played for the Washington Nationals.

The incident began to take shape in 2017, when an unnamed 13 year old girl asked to take pictures with Felipe Vázquez outside the bullpen at PNC park. She later messaged him on Instagram, and they started talking through text and social media.

They exchanged sexual texts, videos and planned to meet up when his baseball season ended. In an interview with a state trooper, she said that he drove her to her house in Westmoreland County, and while in the car he pulled her pants down, put her on his lap and tried to have sex with her. According to state troopers, he admitted to driving to the girl’s house and trying to have sex with her, but he said he needed to leave because he had a game that night.

On another occasion he sent her a video of him performing a sexual act on himself. His face wasn’t showing, but the police identified him by his tattoos. When the Pennsylvania State Police and FDLE officials served the search warrant they had for his apartment, they seized multiple electronic devices which will be forensically tested.

The Pirates have placed Vazquez on the restricted list following the arrest. He will continue to receive his $4 million salary but is ineligible to play. Workers removed a banner depicting Vázquez from outside PNC Park on Tuesday night. 




Singer Aaron Carter (Backstreet Boys) accuses
late sister Leslie of sexual abuse

NZ Herald

Troubled star Aaron Carter has claimed he was sexually abused by his sister Leslie, who died in 2012 from a drug overdose.

Police are investigating the allegations raised by the singer who claims his sister sexually abused him for years. Police also said they have received reports from the Carter family with concerns for the singer's welfare.

"We are currently investigating the concerns of all parties involved and utilising all available resources to assist family members in addressing their concerns," a spokesperson told Page Six earlier this week.

Aaron Carter made the allegations on Twitter this week.

"It runs in the family. I never wanted to tell anyone this. But I have too (sic)…," he wrote.

"My sister Leslie suffered from bipolar and took lithium to treat it. She never liked the way it made her feel and when she was off of it she did things that she never meant to do I truly believe that. I was 10 years old…."

"My sister raped me from the age of 10 to 13 years old when she wasn't on her medications and I was absused (sic) not only sexually by her but by my first two back-up dancers when I was 8 years old. And my brother absused (sic) me my whole life."

Leslie died in 2012 from a drug overdose when she was 25-years-old.

The singer handed over two assault rifles on Wednesday after his brother Nick Carter reportedly took out a restraining order against him. He says he has kept his shotgun and pistol for his own protection.

Aaron Carter has made a series of troubling statements about his family on Twitter recently, including accusing his brother Nick of being a "serial rapist" and accusing his pregnant sister of being on drugs.

The Backstreet Boys singer Nick, 39, said he filed the order against his brother after he expressed the intention of killing Nick's pregnant wife, Lauren Kitt, and their unborn child.

"In light of Aaron's increasingly alarming behaviour and his recent confession that he harbours thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family," Nick tweeted this week.

"We love our brother and truly hope he gets the proper treatment he needs before any harm comes to himself or anyone else."

Is this an example of what drugs can do to people? Or, are these symptoms of child sexual abuse? Or both?





Placido Domingo withdraws from Met Opera
Grigolo suspended from Royal Opera

#MeToo is not done yet!
The Associated Press

The Metropolitan Opera announced Tuesday that Placido Domingo had agreed to withdraw from his slate of scheduled performances at the opera house following allegations of sexual harassment made by multiple women in two Associated Press stories. The opera legend indicated that he would never again perform at the Met.

Domingo had been scheduled to sing the title role in the season premiere of Verdi's Macbeth on Wednesday night, which would have been his first performance in the United States since the AP reported that numerous women had accused him of inappropriate behaviour, including one soprano who said he grabbed her bare breast.

The Met had been under increasing pressure to cancel Domingo's six scheduled appearances, but general manager Peter Gelb reiterated to performers after a dress rehearsal Saturday that the opera house was awaiting results of investigations by the L.A. Opera, where Domingo has been general director since 2003, and the American Guild of Musical Artists, the union that represents various opera staff.

Domingo, who had sung in rehearsals, issued a statement saying his Met career was over after what the company said was 706 performances as a singer, plus 169 as a conductor.

"I made my debut at the Metropolitan Opera at the age of 27 and have sung at this magnificent theatre for 51 consecutive, glorious years," the star said. "While I strongly dispute recent allegations made about me, and I am concerned about a climate in which people are condemned without due process, upon reflection, I believe that my appearance in this production of Macbeth would distract from the hard work of my colleagues both on stage and behind the scenes.

"As a result, I have asked to withdraw," he added, "and I thank the leadership of the Met for graciously granting my request. I am happy that, at the age of 78, I was able to sing the wonderful title role in the dress rehearsal of Macbeth, which I consider my last performance on the Met stage."

In its statement, the Met said the long-married, Spanish-born superstar had "agreed to withdraw from all future performances at the Met, effective immediately." Gelb sent an email to the Met staff saying, "We are grateful to him for recognizing that he needed to step down."

Lengthy ovations

The Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Opera and Dallas Opera previously cancelled upcoming concerts starring Domingo after the AP stories were published. But his reception has been far different in Europe, where he received lengthy ovations after concert performances of Verdi's Luisa Miller at the Salzburg Festival in Austria on Aug. 25 and 31, just weeks after the initial AP story.

One of Domingo's accusers, Patricia Wulf, called Domingo's withdrawal from the Met "such a relief.

"I feel like we accomplished something," said Wulf, who accused Domingo of repeatedly harassing her during performances at Washington Opera in the late 1990s, while he was general director of the company.

"The Met finally stepped up and did the right thing," she told the AP.

In addition to announcing Domingo's withdrawal, Gelb said the Met was suspending tenor Vittorio Grigolo pending the outcome of an investigation opened Tuesday by the Royal Opera in London, which said he was alleged to be involved in a Sept. 18 incident when he sang the title role in Gounod's Faust on tour in Tokyo.

Grigolo, 42, was scheduled to sing six performances of Alfredo in Verdi's La Traviata at the Met in February and March. He did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

The Met fired conductor James Levine (5th story on link) in March 2018 after an investigation (3rd story on link) by a law firm retained by the company found evidence of sexual abuse and harassment. Levine, the company's music director from 1976-2016, was music director emeritus at the time and denied the allegations. He filed a breach of contract and defamation lawsuit that was settled last month.

Domingo made his Met debut in September 1968 and is known to many beyond opera for his performances as part of The Three Tenors with Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras. Singing far beyond the retirement age of most singers, he shifted to baritone parts in 2009, extending his repertoire to more than 150 roles.

Domingo's next scheduled performance is in Verdi's Nabucco at the Zurich Opera on Oct. 13. He is not slated to sing in the U.S. until Donizetti's Roberto Devereux at the LA Opera, which opens Feb. 22.

Zeljko Lucic will replace him for the Met's three performances of Macbeth. Domingo also had been scheduled for four performances as Sharpless in Puccini's Madama Butterfly at the Met in November.

Before Domingo's withdrawal, the New York state senator whose district includes the opera house had called for his removal. "I believe they have an obligation to hold their performers to a high standard, given the fact that they are one of the world's most important cultural institutions," said Brad Hoylman, a Democrat and state senator for New York.


"They should be thinking also not just about his celebrity and star power, but about the 20 women who allegedly have made complaints," Hoylman said. "The Met has an obligation to ensure the safety and well-being of their employees and I'm concerned that if they don't take action on this, this matter might discourage future employees from coming forward."




Brother who murdered ‘Pakistan’s Kim Kardashian’ gets life sentence for ‘honor killing’ that shook the country

A Pakistani court has sentenced the brother of Qandeel Baloch to life in prison, three years after he murdered the social media star. The high-profile case prompted a crackdown on so-called ‘honor killings’ in the country.

Mohammad Waseem Baloch was found guilty of drugging and strangling his sister in July 2016. Six other defendants, including religious scholar Mufti Abdul Qavi and Qandeel’s other two brothers, Aslam Shaheen and Arif, were acquitted in the case.

Wassem had initially confessed to killing his sister, arguing that she had brought shame to his family with her boundary-pushing social media presence.

Dubbed the Kim Kardashian of Pakistan, Qandeel, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, had more than 750,000 Facebook subscribers, some 51,000 followers on Instagram, and about 43,000 Twitter followers. The 26-year-old rose to prominence by posting content that was often deemed taboo in her socially conservative homeland.

The case garnered international attention due to a bizarre legal loophole in Pakistan, which allowed those who commit a so-called ‘honor-killing’ to walk free if they are forgiven by the victim’s family.

Uproar over the possibility that Qandeel’s killers might walk free prompted new anti-honor-killing legislation, which mandated a minimum of 12 years for such crimes.

Qandeel’s father, Muhammad Azeem, had originally brought charges against his sons, stating that he would be happy if they “hanged for their unforgivable crime.” The parents later forgave their sons, and argued that the new honor-killing law could not be implemented retroactively to the case.

Despite international outcry over Qandeel’s murder, women in Pakistan continue to be killed by relatives for allegedly ‘dishonoring’ their families. According to one estimate, there were more than 15,000 honor killings – carried out against both men and women – between 2004 and 2016.

For trans people, the quest to create the body that matches their perceptions is a life devoted to drugs and doctors. For Big Pharma, the challenge is to serve the interests of this group without being blinded by big profit.

Western society is currently witnessing something of a medical revolution, which many have denounced as a dangerous experiment, whereby individuals, acting as their own medical experts, readily self-diagnose themselves as ‘transgender.’ What often follows is a regimen of powerful drugs and radical surgical techniques in order to ‘fix the gender’ they were mistakenly ‘assigned’ at birth.

Has mankind finally outsmarted Mother Nature?

As a pastor I used to know often said, 'God doesn't make mistakes!'

While it is still too early to answer that question, one thing remains clear: members of the growing transgender demographic who opt to undergo ‘gender confirmation surgery’ inherit a lifetime relationship with the medical industrial complex. And, as is the case with most medical treatment in the United States, those services do not come cheap.

No, it's not too early to answer that question! It should be obvious. Just look at the attempted suicide rates of transgenders. Several years ago it was 35-43%. A year or two ago in the UK, females who had transitioned to males had an attempted suicide rate of 51%. And it's not from abuse or bullying; it is mostly from regret.

For the uninitiated, the medical techniques now available to transgender men, women and increasingly children will probably sound absolutely shocking, and more so when it is realized how little research is available on the subject.

RT reached out to the Kelsey Coalition, a non-partisan group that works to “protect young people from medical and psychological harms,” to better understand the many unseen chutes and ladders a transgender person must pass before acquiring their dream body. The following is a brief primer into this brave new world of gender makeovers, which pushes the boundaries of science to the extremities.

“Usually, the process starts with puberty blockers (if the young person’s puberty has not been completed); once the young person confirms their decision to transition, they receive cross-sex hormones (and, for males, also a blockade of testosterone produced by the testes), and they may opt for subsequent surgeries (biological males have their testes removed, their penis is inverted and a neo-vagina is constructed, and they could also get breast implants; for biological females, breasts are amputated, the ovaries and uterus removed, while a neo-penis and testes are constructed, often from tissues taken from their forearm or leg). 

In the case of older teens, the process starts with cross-sex hormones and proceeds as described (they don’t get puberty blockers if their puberty is fully completed). The procedures all have formal medical names (e.g., hysterectomy; mastectomy, oophorectomy, etc.)…”

And these procedures are not risk-free. According to a report by the American Heart Association, “people receiving hormone therapy during gender transition had an elevated risk for cardiovascular events, such as strokes, blood clots and heart attacks.”

With the available data, Kelsey estimates that the total medical bill for gender surgery per year in the United States comes to just over $1.3 billion. That figure, however, is “most likely conservative,” they say, as it is based on 10,000 known cases; the actual number of cases could be many times higher (This link to a US-based transgender surgery clinic provides some idea of the costs involved).


The Kelsey Coalition
@CoalitionKelsey
We are a national group of parents whose transgender-identifying children have been harmed by physicians, therapists, & clinics throughout the US. We share our experiences to help change the educational, mental health, & medical practices that have betrayed us, & failed our kids.


Dr. Curtis Crane, a plastic surgeon who performs transgender surgery in Austin, Texas, discussed with RT the cost of gender confirmation procedures. He revealed that a biological female undergoing an operation to ‘become male’ can cost between $150,000 to $200,000, while the cost for a male-to-female operation is between $80,000 and $100,000. However, these are just the prices of the initial operations.

After surgery, patients face a lifetime of purchasing estrogen or testosterone hormones, with all of the inherent risks mentioned above, while routine medical checkups are also a priority. These additional expenses can quickly add up to several hundred dollars per month, depending on each individual case.

When asked if the pharmaceutical industry stands to profit from the upsurge of interest in the transgender movement, Dr. Crane responded: “Yes, I believe so.”

“Gender dysphoria has been a much more common diagnosis in the last few years compared to previously,” he noted. “I think with that we’ll see a demand for cross-sex hormones – estrogen for a male-to-female patient, testosterone for a female-to-male patient.”

Michael Laidlaw, MD, a physician board certified in Endocrinology, wrote that the medical industry stands to gain a “windfall” from patients seeking out treatment for ‘gender dysphoria,’ the medical term for the condition.

“Big pharma, big hospital systems, surgical centers and doctors seek to gain huge profits. Lupron [a puberty blocker prescribed to children] monthly is $775 alone. That’s a $27,000 ‘pause button’ at 5 years [of age],” Laidlaw wrote. “Multiply this together with the huge rise in cases documented or observed in Western nations and a major windfall is to be had.”

- Transition FtM (320-1000)~
What could possibly go wrong?

(*approximate total testosterone in ng/dL based on laboratory, etc.)
(~From 2017 Endo Society Guidelines on Gender Dysph)



Incidentally, Laidlaw and his colleagues discovered that in 2017 the Children's Hospital Los Angeles had lowered the minimum age for cross-sex hormones from 13 to eight years.

“Imagine giving eight-year-old girls testosterone,” Laidlaw remarked during a panel discussion organized by The Heritage Foundation. “They are in third or fourth grade. This is unbelievable. But this is going on.”

While the quest for profit is not an inherently negative thing, the spectacle of powerful medical and pharmaceutical companies cashing in on the transgender phenomenon naturally arouses suspicion, especially when so little research data is available into the long-term and even short-term effects of these radical new procedures, which are now available to very young children.

And here is where the medical community finds itself at war with itself.

‘No need to be a teen to know your sexual identity’

Advocates of medical transitioning believe that the associated risks involved in the process do not compare to the risk of living a life trapped inside a body that does not conform to a person’s sexual identity. At the same time, age does not seem to play a factor in the decision-making process.

In schools across the country, children as young as five and six years-old – almost too young to lace up their own shoestrings – are being told stories about individuals who have been ‘born in the wrong body’. But the issue goes beyond mere books. Although Big Pharma is not directly responsible for what is being taught in the US school system, of course, such early instruction prepares the soil, as it were, for these children to not only accept such ideas as natural, but to pursue ‘gender reassignment’ later in life. And, as it turns out, ‘later in life’ is sooner than one might imagine.

When ‘transgender’ children are just eight and nine years-old, they are being placed on puberty suppressors. In the state of Oregon, meanwhile, girls as young as 15 years old can have a mastectomy or a hysterectomy without parental approval. Even earlier, with parental consent. After the age of 18, these patients may wish to have so-called “bottom surgeries,” which involve the removal of the penis in born men, and the creation of an artificial penis in born females.

When asked if there are inherent risks associated with placing children on the fast track for hormone treatment and sex-change operations, Dr. Crane responded that it is possible for extremely young children to know their true ‘gender identity.’

“They aren’t even teens, but a person knows their gender identity at a very young age,” he claimed. “At two and three years old you start seeing differences in males and females, and so it’s not necessarily true that you have to wait until someone’s a teen for them to know whether they are truly male or female.”

Unsurprisingly, there is some extremely outspoken criticism of such opinions, especially with regard to children.

‘Psychiatric counseling is impermissible’

The opponents of “gender manipulation” argue that the medical community is – much like in the days when frontal lobotomies were considered an acceptable way of treating mental disorders – attempting to treat a psychological condition with non-irreversible surgical techniques.

Paul McHugh, a psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins University, believes that the increase in gender confusion is mostly caused by the “psychological and psychosocial problems these people have,” he said, in an interview with The College Fix.

One reason why so many people who opt for gender surgery remain unhappy following the procedure, McHugh hypothesizes, is that they discover too late that “they did not address the primary problem,” which was some unaddressed mental health issue.

Other medical analyses point to similar conclusions. A recent study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, for example, proved that some 80 percent of US college students who are transgender suffer from some sort of previous mental disorder.

Meanwhile, in a letter (Dec. 2018) to The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, the entire notion that sex is an arbitrary notion ‘assigned’ – sometimes incorrectly – by doctors at birth, while only the individual knows with certainty his or her ‘true’ gender – was dismissed as essentially bad science.

“Sex has a biological basis, whereas gender is fundamentally a social expression,”wrote Dr. Richard Byng and other members of the Community and Primary Research Care Group. “Thus, sex is not assigned – chromosomal sex is determined at conception and immutable.”

“Distress about gender identity must be taken seriously…but the impacts of powerful, innovative interventions should be rigorously assessed,” the doctors argued. “The evidence of medium-term benefit from hormonal treatment and puberty blockers is based on weak follow-up studies.”

Perhaps the most astonishing thing about children who believe they were somehow born in the wrong bodies, however, is that they will not be provided with any psychiatric counseling to address their youthful beliefs. Why not? Because current medical protocol demands it.

The child’s self-diagnosis that he or she is the opposite sex must be accepted at face value by the medical practitioner, who is strongly advised by leading medical and psychological organizations that “transgender identities and diverse gender expressions do not constitute a mental disorder.”

This non-interventionist approach, known as the ‘gender-affirmative care model’ (GACM), is arguably the primary cause for so many children entering into a lifetime of expensive treatment.

Here is what one mother, ‘Elaine’, whose daughter is in the process of transitioning into a male, had to say about the process, during a panel discussion organized by The Heritage Foundation.

“If you take your child to a clinic to seek help, affirmative care means the therapist must follow the child’s lead. Professionals must accept a child’s gender identity. In fact, this is the law in many states. Under ‘conversion therapy’ bans, questioning a child’s gender identity is now illegal.” The comments in their entirety may be viewed here.

Without the appropriate psychological counseling to address a child’s possibly confused belief, parents are left with little choice but to begin a highly traumatic and very expensive journey on the road to gender transitioning. And here is where the question of the corporate profit motive playing a role in this highly controversial approach must be revisited.

A conflict of corporate interest?

Even before Caitlyn Jenner, who has been called the most famous transgender woman in the world, graced the cover of the May 2015 issue of Variety magazine with the headline ‘Call Me Caitlyn’, there has been an explosion of interest in gender reassignment procedures. Aside from clinics specialized in the operations, regular hospitals are also getting in on the action.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, doctors performed 8,304 sex change operations in 2017; in 2018, that number had surged to 9,576. That upward trend is expected to translate into $968 million by 2024, according to Market Watch, citing the Global Sex Reassignment Surgery Market Forecast. That translates into a compound annual growth rate of 24.5 percent during the projection time period. 

Thus, with many millions of dollars in profit on the line, do the medical community and pharmaceutical companies have an incentive to promote risky hormonal treatment, together with the radical surgical procedures, to the public? 

Something similar is happening now in the United States with the deadly opioid epidemic. Big Pharma played no small part in getting these powerful painkillers to patients regardless of the safety hazards involved. According to The Kelsey Coalition, the situation with regards to hormone treatment is nearly identical.

By way of example, the for-profit advocacy group cited Endo Pharmaceuticals, a pill manufacturer, which lost millions of dollars in settling opioid lawsuits and was forced to abandon production of the pill. Instead, as the Kelsey Coalition told RT, the company is now “focusing on their testosterone line of products.” That may not sound like such a terrible thing, until it is realized that “almost every vocal pro-medicalization ‘gender expert’ in the US has an association with Endo Pharmaceutical as an advisor,” the group claimed.

The Kelsey Coalition specifically mentioned Dr. Joshua Safer, executive director of the Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery, New York, who speaks out on the purported benefits of puberty suppressors. Safer has reported that he’d received consulting fees from Endo Pharmaceuticals and that his wife is an employee of Parexel, the second largest clinical research organization in the world.

At the same time, the organization that’s writing the treatment guidelines for transgender patients, The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), is run by the for-profit company Veritas, which also appears to have serious conflicts of interest among its members.

Veritas sits on the advisory boards for a number of organizations, including Lipocrine Pharma, a company that produces hormones, with a particular focus on testosterone. This is significant, considering that, of the one million American youth who currently identify as transgender, many of them are adolescent girls with atypical, adolescent-onset gender dysphoria.

Testosterone is the ‘treatment’ that these young women who suddenly develop a transgender identity are prescribed in order to develop more male-like appearances. And, as mentioned earlier, these hormones place the user at risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

Veritas also sits on the Board of Intuitive Surgical, producers of robotic assisted surgical devices. This equipment has various medical usages, including the removal of the uterus, ovaries and vaginal canal, in preparation for the construction of the ‘neo-penis’ (artificial penis) for females transitioning to males. The study is available here.

So here we have WPATH, an organization that has an advisory role in determining what treatments are proven safe, being run by Veritas, a company that acquires large profits when pharmaceutical companies and surgeons implement expensive medicines and procedures provided by the very firms they represent. That certainly sounds like a conflict of interest.

Is this the reason WPATH states that psychological therapy is not effective for those who identify as transgender, and instead promotes the unproven belief that sex-reassignment is the only safe and effective way of treating gender dysphoria?

As the opponents of transgender reassignment unanimously argue, gender dysphoria remains poorly understood and has never been adequately studied. In other words, there is a very good chance that with the appropriate amount of psychological counseling, gender dysphoria would likely resolve over time with the right amount of psychological support. Yet, for reasons that continue to baffle much of the medical community and the public at large, supporters of gender reassignment have no desire for that approach to become the norm.

As such, it seems that people will continue to suspect that the real interests of the medical industrial complex are not the health and wellbeing of the transgender community, but rather their own enrichment. That skepticism does the transgender community no favors.

Russian Orthodox Priest with '70 adopted children in family’ is accused of raping girl in his care, denied bail

A Russian priest who is credited with heading the largest family in the country after fathering and adopting over 70 kids, has been arrested on a charge of sexually abusing his dependants.

A court in Orenburg, a city about 1,200 km southeast of Moscow, has ordered the pre-trial arrest of Nikolay Stremsky.

Stremsky, or father Nikolay as he is usually called, is a sort of local celebrity in the Orenburg region.

A veteran of the Afghan war who was ordained a Russian Orthodox priest, he and his wife run a Christian foster home, except the wards there are also his adopted children. Investigators say he is a sexual predator, who has abused at least seven children in his care.

Stremsky runs a center called the Holy Trinity Convent, a church-owned facility that includes a shelter for elderly people, a foster home for children, a Sunday school and a small monastery, among other things. The priest has worked there since the 1990s and is credited for legally adopting and raising as many as 70 children, making his family the largest in Russia. Its website says that, of the adopted children 58 have grown and left while 12 remain in the family.

The court session that decided whether he could be held under house arrest or in pre-trial detention was heard behind closed doors so few details about the case are known so far.

The charges against him include the alleged rape of a girl under age 14 and one of molestation of a minor by an organized group, the record said. Stremsky denies any wrongdoing. The justice agreed with the prosecution that Stremsky, a wealthy man with numerous properties in Russia and other countries, is a flight risk and ordered the court to lock him up until at least mid-November.

One of his adopted daughters, now an adult, and her husband have been arrested by the same court. They are accused of unlawful detention.

The Bishop of Orenburg suspended Stremsky from conducting his church duties pending the results of the investigation.

Vladimir Legoyda, spokesman for the Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church, called on people to keep the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ principle in mind when commenting on the case.

“Only a court can judge if a person is guilty or not, so I believe we should all refrain from emotional and uncalled-for remarks and let the investigators to do their job,” he cautioned.

It’s not Stremsky’s first brush with the law, although the previous one was far less serious. In 2015, he was detained for allegedly driving one of his luxury cars while inebriated, but the case was ultimately dropped. His detention during that episode was pretty rough, according to footage which circulated around the internet at the time.

SEVENTEEN PEOPLE WERE arrested by gardaí as part of an operation in west Cork on Tuesday. 

The arrests were made in relation to a number of incidents such as suspected importation of child sex abuse material, burglary, theft, robbery and threats to kill. 

A man was arrested and detained at Bantry Garda Station in relation to the importation of child sex abuse material. He has since been released without charge and a file has been prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). 

Of the seventeen arrests, eleven have been charged and files have been prepared for the DPP for the remaining six.

As part of the “day of action”, gardaí carried out multi-agency checkpoints on the N22, Currahally Farran. During the checkpoints, a number of offences were detected and four vehicles were discovered to have major defects.

“Community policing units provided crime prevention packs to distribute to Meals on Wheels members in the division,” a garda spokesperson said. A crime preventions stand was also erected in the Bandon district where information and flyers were distributed to members of the public.

Tuesday’s arrests follow on from a similar day of action, earlier this month, during which 17 people were also arrested. Those arrests were in relation to a number of incidents including suspected possession of images of child sexual abuse, assault, burglary, theft, and drugs and immigration offences.




Sydney swimming teacher's wife’s ‘utter disbelief’ at husband’s 57 child sex charges
Benedict Brook, news.com.au

The wife of a Sydney swimming coach facing 57 charges over allegations he sexually abused 11 boys has said she is in “shock and utter disbelief” at the allegations levelled against her husband.

In an emotional affidavit tendered to Sutherland Local Court today Ivana Frost, who is a senior Australian executive with furniture retailer Ikea, pleaded that Paul Douglas Frost be allowed home while he awaits trial.

Mr Frost, 43, is a former MasterChef finalist and the son of renowned swimming coach Doug Frost who used to work with Olympian Ian Thorpe.

Dressed in prison greens, he appeared at court today on a video link from Silverwater jail.

He was arrested at his home in Sylvania, southern Sydney, last week and charged with 10 offences, including aggravated sexual assault of a child under 16 and aggravated indecent assault of a child under 16 between 1997 and 2001 while they were at the now-closed Doug Frost Swim School in Padstow.

Today, police said he was being charged with a further 47 additional grooming, aggravated indecent assault and aggravated sexual assault offences on boys aged between eight and 16, up to 2009.

Court documents seen by news.com.au detail the alleged abuse which included inducing a boy to take his shorts down and masturbating him and committing sexual intercourse without consent.

There were also letters from two former employers sacking Mr Frost following the charges.

Ms Frost is Ikea’s high-profile national food manager for Australia, responsible for the iconic firm’s restaurants and their menu including Swedish meatballs. She has appeared in Ikea marketing material including YouTube videos where she is interviewed alongside former MasterChef host Matt Preston about minimising food waste.

In her affidavit, Ms Frost said she had been married since November 2001. “I am in shock and utter disbelief at the charges bought against Paul,” she wrote. “Paul has no criminal record and has always been a loyal and caring husband.” She said he had a “gentle personality”.

The family had been through financial strife when a food venture went sour. Sebastian DeBrennan, Mr Frost’s solicitor, said his client had tried, but ultimately failed, to capitalise on his TV profile.

“He was a finalist in MasterChef and had initial success in the restaurant and catering business,” Mr DeBrennan told the court. “But things deteriorated that culminated in him filing for bankruptcy in 2016. The last few years, he and his family have been clawing their way back from those debts.

Ms Frost said the loss of his income after he was sacked from his casual jobs would be a further blow. “I don’t know how I’ll manage financially with the care of Paul’s elderly mother when Paul is in custody,” she said. “Paul’s mum has been beside herself with anxiety since his arrest”.

Ms Frost travelled frequently abroard, she said. Not just to Ikea’s Swedish head office but also to the UK, Italy, China, Denmark and Serbia in the past 18 months. “I don’t know how I will manage to meet the travel requirements of my job without Paul at home,” she said.

In her affidavit, Ms Frost said she had been stressed by a recent phone call to her husband in prison. “I’m concerned about Paul’s mental health, physical health and welfare. He’s putting on a brave face but I’m concerned about his emotional wellbeing,” she said.

“When I spoke to him (in prison) I could hear yelling and screaming from other inmates as well as swearing as a fight had broken out.”

News.com.au has seen a letter from the Head of the Education School at the University of New South Wales Kim Beswick where she terminated Mr Frost’s employment. “These charges, while unproven, are serious and incompatible with your casual employment with UNSW,” Ms Beswick said.

He was also sacked by the NSW Education Department which banned him from working in any educational establishment in the state until a verdict.

Court documents detailed many of the allegations that Mr Frost now faces. These include sexual intercourse without consent and aggravated indecent assault.

On one occasion it’s alleged he swam naked in a swimming pool with a 13-year old; another allegation is that he pulled down a 15-year-old boy’s shorts and masturbated him.

He is also said to have masturbated a teen over his speedos and plied another child with alcohol to make sexual activity easier.

Mr DeBrennan today told Magistrate Chris McRobert that it was notable there was no CCTV, email or phone evidence of the assaults and instead the Crown were relying solely on statements from the alleged victims.

He also questioned why the 11 now adults had come forward more than a decade, in some cases far longer, after the assaults were alleged to have occurred and said that length of time meant there was a “possibility of concoction or contamination”.

Magistrate McRobert said the lack of CCTV didn’t diminish the overall strength of the case. “There is a strong prosecution case, we have 11 victim complainants with no evidence before court to show any level of concoction or corroboration between them,” he said.

He granted Mr Frost $10,000 bail with strict conditions including that he surrenders his passport, not go near an airport and regularly report to police. His movements will also be severely restricted.

The magistrate cited the lack of any allegations against Mr Frost for over a decade and his clean criminal record for allowing him to await his trial in the community. He also said it could be 18 months before the case reaches trial which would be a severe burden on his family.

But he had a warning for Mr Frost: “In simple terms, don’t push your luck.”

Mr Frost will appear at Bankstown Court on October 9.




Two Aberdeen men admit possessing
indecent images of children
by Dale Haslam, Evening Express

A sheriff has told two men who admitted looking at indecent images of children their actions contribute to the demand for child sex abuse.

Sheriff Andrew Miller made the comments at Aberdeen Sheriff Court when he ordered the two men – who appeared in separate cases – to do unpaid work.

Stelian Birnaz, 33, admitted possessing indecent images of children at his home address – given in court as Castle Street, Aberdeen – between October 22 2014 and November 30 2018.

The court heard how police found several hundred indecent images of children on devices belonging to Birnaz and some of the images were graded Category A – the most serious.

Sheriff Miller was told Birnaz had deleted other images before police became involved as he realised his actions were wrong.

In sentencing Birnaz to a three-year rehabilation programme, three years of supervision and 225 hours of unpaid work, Sheriff Miller said: “This is a very serious offence. The items found contained images and videos of children involved in various depictions of sexual actions.

“Someone who looks for and looks at images of this kind helps to create demand for these images, which in turn contributes to the abuse of the children shown in images of this kind.”

In a separate case, Mark Tait, 21, admitted possessing indecent images of children at his home address – given in court as Springdale Road, Bieldside – between January 6 2016 and January 11 this year.

The court heard Tait was on holiday in the Philippines when police searched his home and found 222 indecent images – 24 of which were category A.

Sheriff Miller said: “As I said in the previous case this offence is very serious as behind every image is a victim.”

Tait was ordered to go on a three-year rehabilitation programme, undergo three years of supervision and do 210 hours of unpaid work.




Child sex doll case: Timaru man first in NZ
to be jailed for import
NZ Herald  
By: Rachel Das


A Timaru man has become the first person in the country to be jailed for importing a child sex doll.

Stephen Heppleston, 58, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison when he appeared for sentencing in Timaru District Court today.

He earlier pleaded guilty to importing the child sex doll and possessing objectionable publications relating to the sexual exploitation of children.

Judge Tom Gilbert said the defendant was taken to nudist camps when he was a child.




Melbourne man to front court as first charged with new child abuse offence
The Age, By Zach Hope


A Melbourne man accused of possessing child pornography will front court on Thursday as the first person charged under new federal legislation that came into effect last week.

The 44-year-old was arrested after an investigation triggered by reports from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, a not-for-profit organisation based in the US.

Investigators from the Victorian Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team raided a home in Fairfield on Wednesday and arrested the man after they seized a mobile phone allegedly containing child pornography.

He has been charged with possessing child abuse material obtained using a carriage service, a crime which came into effect on September 21 as a result of the new Combating Child Sexual Exploitation Legislation Amendment Bill.

The man appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday night and made no application for bail.

“The AFP and Victoria Police are working with domestic and international partners to identify people involved in this vile behaviour and bring some sense of justice to its vulnerable victims,”  said AFP Detective Superintendent Jayne Crossling.

“This arrest should serve as another warning to the community: if you are thinking about accessing or sharing child exploitation material, you will be caught eventually.”

It comes as Attorney-General Christian Porter seeks to introduce harsher penalties for the sexual exploitation of children, including mandatory minimum sentences for the most serious offences.

The Crimes Legislation Amendment Bill for child sexual abuse crimes, which is currently before the lower house, would also increase maximum penalties, prevent courts from reducing sentences on the basis of 'good character', and mandate offenders access appropriate rehabilitation.




Tirupur, India, child home caretaker was a regular abuser

The New Indian Express


TIRUPUR: The arrest of 54-year-old Rajasekar alias Swami Poornasevanandar on charges of sexually assaulting four schoolboys on Sunday shocked Thirumuruganpoondi, a temple town in Tirupur district. 

Rajasekar is the founder of a trust that runs a private school. The organisation which has been operating for 20 years, provides education and shelter to 60 boys from poor families in Tirupur, Karur, Erode and Salem. 

District officials said that he may have been a regular abuser, referring to an oral complaint made against him in 2017.

Described by many locals as a prominent person in the town, Rajasekar was seen leading a "spiritual life" and doing good service for young people. Local businesses supported his trust and students of the school are said to have done well in government and private service.

Locals said that he was a native of Tirupur and earlier ran a fancy store before taking an interest in spirituality and religion. Residents believe he travelled the country meeting saints before taking sanyas and leading an "austere and ascetic life". As part of that transition, he reportedly sold his fancy store in the '90s and started the trust under which the school was created in 1998.

This reputation as an "ascetic" leading a "spiritual life" may have blinded many to his dark side. An official, who was part of the team that questioned the children at the trust's home, said that the complaint received by a child's parent two weeks ago was not the first allegation of child sexual abuse against Rajasekar. 

"The accused seems to be a regular abuser. In 2017, an oral complaint against him was made to the district administration. The trustees were immediately informed and he was barred from entering the premises and removed from official duty. After several months, be begged for forgiveness and gained the trust of the trustees, who seem to have allowed him to enter the premises again," the official said.

Express found the school staff too may have turned a blind eye to the complaints. One teacher at the school told Express that the staff had never heard anything bad about the school or Rajasekar and went on to complain about the behaviour of the students, instead. 

The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act makes it mandatory for anyone who knows of child sexual abuse to report it to the authorities. Despite this, the teacher admitted that in 2017 a boy had run away from the shelter. 

When he was brought back, the teacher said the boy told him that Rajasekar had touched him inappropriately. The teacher said he doubted the child's story because he had "bad habits". Experts say signs that a child may be undergoing abuse - physical or sexual - include behavioural changes, aggression, anger and attempting to run away. "I was shocked to learn this boy was among those who had given a written complaint to the team that inspected the facility," the teacher said.

This act of the trustees, district administration and school staff may have put at least four children at risk. Two weeks ago, the father of a boy residing at the home sent a complaint of child sexual abuse to the district administration. The official who was part of the team that questioned the children said they decided to proceed cautiously to avoid tipping him off. "Noticing his absence at the facility on Saturday, we entered the school around 4.30 pm.

On seeing the officials, the students began to panic and so when we questioned them about the accused, none of them responded properly," the official said. Finally, the team reassured the children and questioned them individually. "Four boys told us they were being sexually abused. One student described various incidents of abuse, others a mentioned few. We asked them to give us a complaint in writing and transferred them to another shelter after getting permission from district administration," he said.

Police said that Rajasekar, on learning of the inspection, returned to Tirupur on Sunday afternoon. Once he discovered he had been booked under the POCSO Act, he reportedly tried to flee but was caught at Perumanallur bus stand. He was produced before a judicial magistrate and sent to Coimbatore Prison.
