Queer identity politics seems to have almost a contempt for the American way of settling disputes and resolving issues. The problem compounds when bureaucrats adopt the ideology of queer identity politics. The power of the state then gets co-opted into sustaining the twisted fantasies of the sexual revolution - without actually solving any of the problems. Joy Pullmann, editor at the Federalist, j...

Many gay men and women have been told that God doesn't love them and that religious people hate them. The reality is much more humane and helpful. Dr. Janet E Smith discusses how many gay people, who previously thought that God and religious people hated them, have come to know God's love through the efforts of humble individuals who took the time to minister to them.   Professor Smith is the auth...

As the WPATH files and Cass Report reveal, even the doctors and scientists can't fully explain the short term and long term consequences of gender "affirming" surgeries and wrong-sex hormones. How on earth can a mentally distressed minor or their troubled parent consent to that type of surgery? Makes the threat of suicide seem much more like blackmail than life-saving care. Dr. Jill Simons examine...

Far too often, the medical boards tend to gravitate towards what makes the most money or what is politically expedient, and that presents a problem for the members they represent, and the patients whose interests they are supposed to look after. Dr. Jill Simons is the executive director of the American College of Pediatricians which was formed precisely because the American Academy of Pediatrics s...

Once Maria started getting involved in the school system in Arlington, VA she tried to hear the other side of the story. She would invite pro-transgender parents out to coffee, or just try to ask them questions and really get a better sense of what they were going through and what was gong on. But they all refused. They'd say things like, "Oh, I know who you are" and not even give her the time of...

The idea that a boy can magically become a girl, or that a girl can become a boy, is an incredibly damaging idea that has spread around the world. Maria Keffler has worked to confront the trans ideology in schools and across the country. She joins Dr. Morse to discuss her book: Desist, Detrans, and Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult.   Maria Keffler is a co-founder of Advocates Prote...

"God's design for sex and marriage is Plan A for child protection. If you deviate from God's design for sex and marriage in any way, whether it's softening prohibitions on premarital sex or adultery, or same sex marriage, or whatever it is, what you're really saying is, 'I prefer my social acceptance above child protection."   People will say, 'I don't support gay marriage, but it feels really mea...

Being the head of a global pro-children's movement wasn't Katy Faust's main goal, it wasn't even secondary. What she did want to do was to speak out when the gay lobby started lying about kids and their needs. So she started blogging anonymously on askthebigot.com. But before too long, she got doxxed. Since that point, Katy has been a public and outspoken defender of children's rights.   Katy Faus...

The discussion of gay Christian versus straight Christian leaves out a very important realization: the life and blessings God has for us when we let him heal us. Having been a gay Christian before completely giving her life to Christ, Christie May Jesse understands the struggle. "At the core of same-sex attraction, lies a longing to know oneself, to belong," she explains, but what they're doing is...

In the 1980's, Christie went to Stanford as a man-hating, open lesbian. Her rowing coach was an avowed Christian, and a conflict was pretty much inevitable. Christie decided that she would only provoke her coach a little and jokingly asked if she knew of any good bible study groups. Her coach cheerfully obliged. When she knocked on the door for the study group, she was met by another girl who aske...

One of the claims made by the gender ideologues is that it doesn't impact anyone if someone else's child socially transitions. After all, no one is forcing anyone else to go through that transition. Kathleen Benfield talks to Dr. J about the problem with that issue, and gives the perfect come back as to why that is a lie and how to deal with it. Kathleen's organization has successfully protected c...

The IOC and big tech can't suppress what we all know to be true. A man is defined by his chromosomes, not his DSD. Imane Khelif, for whatever else he might be, isn't a woman, and doesn't deserve applause for being allowed to beat up actual women. Dr. Morse explains six things we have learned from this fiasco.   Get more details about transgenderism: https://ruthinstitute.org/defend-against-transge...

Louisiana has lived up to its reputation as one of the most pro-life, and pro-family states in the entire United States.
