“This is the most important video I’ll ever post.” “I did not ever want to make a video like this.” “There is a trans state of emergency in the United States right now.”
Dozens of videos on YouTube promote the notion that “queer and trans people” are being expunged in America, complete with tearful sighs of despair, content warnings and somber, funereal tones.
After taking the time to watch a few of these videos (so you don’t have to) the number one piece of evidence used to prove there is a trans genocide are so-called anti-trans bills. As of this writing, 560 bills aim to among other things, ban transgender medicalization of minors, remove pornographic material from school libraries and limit drag shows to adult-only venues. 79 bills have passed and 129 have failed. Seems like team trans is winning this round, despite the hysteria.
The content of many proposed bills outlaw euphemistically termed “gender affirmative care” for minors, though there are bills proposing bans for adults up to the age of twenty-six. As the mother of an impressionable teenager whose prefrontal cortex won’t be fully developed until age twenty-six, I understand the thinking on this one. It could be argued however, that anyone over the age of 18 has the constitutional right to inflict whatever harm they see fit to their own bodies.
If I were in the law-making business, instead of legislating against HRT and transgender surgery for adults, I’d push to increase the amount of medical research regarding the effects of transgender medical care. I’d demand transparency about side effects, surgical complications and quality of life outcomes.
Yet now, in 2023, disseminating, discussing or even acknowledging potentially harmful transgender medical information is deemed transphobic. This is insane. Trans-identified people deserve to know the truth about what they are doing to their bodies more than anyone. The most radical trans-activists are so busy accusing others of wanting to destroy them that they remain willfully blind to the harm they inflict upon themselves and the people they purport to cherish.
It took the US government 170 years from the time cigarettes were first sold, to affix a Surgeon General’s warning to each pack. In the interim, Camels, Luckys and all the rest were advertised as relaxing, doctor-approved health sticks. By the early 2000s, when cigarette smoking was all but banned from public spaces, the entire country knew without a doubt that cigarettes were not only unhealthy, but deadly.
I hope transgender medicine will head in this direction, only faster.
Of course there’s a glaring difference between cigarettes and transgender medicine. While both are potentially life-threatening, only transgender medicine is cloaked in a tyrannical ideology.
Like I wrote in my last piece, if you Google ‘trans genocide’ you will find scores of articles reporting on this so-called 'emergency', which cannot help but compare itself to the Holocaust. There’s even a documentary on Netflix that showcases the plight of a handful of “queer and trans people” in Nazi Germany.
That phrase—queer and trans people—smacks of sleight-of-hand at best, and at worst, linguistic weaponry. Before a few short years ago, mainstream sex-based terminology recognized biological facts. Nowadays, “trans women are women,” and if you disagree, you are a violent menace who must be stopped.
Yet it is the trans community who claim they are under attack.
According to Eldorado: Everything the Nazis Hate, “queer and trans folx” were living their best lives at the Eldorado nightclub in Berlin until those conservative alt-right Nazis (allegory much?) came to eliminate them in 1933.
The director of Eldorado is Benjamin Cantu, a German-Hungarian filmmaker and social justice activist who “helped build an independent queer Jewish community in Berlin” and is a fellow of the Salzburg Global LGBT Forum. Cantu’s vision takes grim Holocaust subject matter and spins it into honey, with glossy amber hues, slow-motion romance scenes and a drop of decadent kink.
Morgan Page, the main narrator of the film is a trans-identified activist and performance artist—a biological male—who in 2012 created the Planned Parenthood Toronto workshop “Overcoming the Cotton Ceiling: Breaking Down Sexual Barriers for Queer Trans Women.” In an interview with Benjamin Boyce, GNC-Centric, a detransitioned lesbian described Page’s workshop as “basically like a pickup artist thing for trans women to hook up with lesbians.” The “cotton ceiling” if you don’t know, is when ‘cisgender’ lesbians outwardly include and support trans women, but draw the line at sex.
Page also ran a youth group for trans-identified teens, which GNC attended.
In an essay for 4th Wave Now about her experience in Page’s youth group she writes:
Healthy boundaries between adults and minors were foreign to this group, much like in the greater queer and trans community.
and
Morgan treated us like adults when we were only teens. She expressed unwavering support for anyone to transition regardless of their history, age, family situation, trauma, etc. The group viewed most therapists as “gatekeepers,” so she advised teens to find doctors who practiced Informed Consent. This means that many of the teens in that group started HRT without seeing anyone for their mental health first, after signing what amounted to a non-liability waiver. Strangely enough, we almost never talked about post-op complications nor the long-term negative effects of HRT, a lack of concern for which is sadly the norm in the trans community. She spoke about sex, drugs, porn, and kink as if it were a normal part of our lives because we were trans.
Morgan’s hatred of “TERFs,” “anti-trans ding-dongs” and “transphobic hate mongers” is out in the open for anyone to see.
Not surprisingly, Eldorado has received accolades from reviewers all over the internet, and stands in stark contrast to this humble black and white video, entitled “Brutal Torture of Gay Men under Nazi Regime,” which details the same subject matter, minus the razzle-dazzle and newspeak.
Between the online hysteria campaign and a slick documentary that tips its top hat to Goebbels himself, it would appear that like the Jews, transgender and non-binary people have been the most persecuted, marginalized group for a hundred years. Even if that were true, Jews have faced persecution for thousands of years. Not that it’s a competition or anything.
Or is it?
Through the use of linguistic warfare, gaslighting and emotional blackmail, radical trans activists are seeking not only to distort and rewrite the past and present, but to widen the definition of violence itself which lends itself tidily to the notion of an all-out genocide.
If the smoke ever settles and the mirrors shatter, “trans genocide” will be seen for what it is— a wolf cry from narcissists for whom attention is an unslakable blood thirst.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

It takes courage to see these things. It takes even more courage to write about them (and skill to do it so well). 'Courage' is an overused word of late, but its etymology comes from the Latin word for 'heart' and that is the sense in which I use it. You have a lot of heart Mrs. Miller.
Thanks so much!!! I totally agree that the emphasize should not be on age but on scientific validity/research of gender affirmative care. Why should adults be given harmful treatments while being lied to about the effectiveness? It is insane!
