Consumer outrage as Dove features another male model posing as a woman

Wikimedia Commons, Milad Mosapoor, Self-published work

Dove is once again under fire for featuring what appears to be a male model who presents as a female in an online commercial for a women’s hair product.  

First published on Facebook in February, the six-second ad garnered little attention until Libs of TikTok (LTT) shared it on X this week. 

“This is a real commercial by Dove,” wrote LTT, which has more than 4 million followers.  “Another woke company trying to erase women.”

Transvitae, an organization devoted to promoting transgender causes, seems to have confirmed that the model, whom they call a “trans woman,” is indeed a male.

Dove’s only response so far has been to eliminate readers’ comments on its Facebook post.  Nonetheless, Facebook users expressed their displeasure with angry and laughing emojis. 

Many have called for a boycott of Dove products, and the company’s global corporate owner, Unilever, both of which have long histories of promoting woke ideology. 

“The hashtag #BoycottDove lit up Twitter and Instagram over the last 24 hours, fueled by right-wing influencers and known TERF accounts who circulated a six-second clip from Dove’s latest short-form hair-care ad,” lamented Transvitae. 

“Time to boycott Dove,” wrote Paul A. Szypula on X.  “They clearly hate women.” 

“This is why I’ve been boycotting Dove for a few years.  They’ve been misogynists for a while now,” said X user Alex.  

“This is not Dove’s first time disrespecting women. They went woke at least 5 years ago. It’s a shame,” Alex continued. “I really loved a some of their products.”

“I always buy Dove soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Time for a change,” proclaimed another X user. 

“I don’t buy their products, but my wife does. I guarantee you she won’t be buying any more Dove products after I show her this commercial,” said yet another. “Didn’t Bud Light teach anybody anything?” 

Dove has had a long history of displaying transgender models in its advertising.  In a 2017 commercial, a man who identified as a woman was featured in a commercial about moms. 

An online statement by Dove proclaiming fealty to the “LGBTQIA+ community,” declares: “We want to use our platform to celebrate the intersectional LGBTQIA+ community. We’re standing with courageous BIPOC queer, trans and gnc community figures because everyone deserves to be respected and seen on their own terms.”

Britain Can Be Rebuilt—But Only If We Let People Lead

Wikimedia Commons, Colin Smith , CC-BY-SA-2.0

Something in the United Kingdom is fraying. It’s hard to pin down, but in the years following the pandemic, there has been a perception across the country that ‘things’ are persistently getting worse, and slowly, but surely, a muted retreat is taking place. The decline is not dramatic, nor is it grabbing any headlines. It’s quiet, domestic, deeply human—and perhaps in its own way, therefore uniquely British. Fewer people are having children, fewer people are purchasing their first home. Slowly, there has been a fade from our cultural life.

In the Britain of 2025, fewer people are getting married, and fewer are starting families. We are not just facing an economic downturn, we are looking on as a nation unravels.

Only one in every two adults now owns their own home, with ownership amongst the younger generation falling to around 35%. There is a great national debate about how to reverse this trend, but the statistics underscore a greater national challenge—if people are not buying their stake in society, fewer and fewer people feel as though they have a place in it. A population of renters lacks permanency, a pseudo-nomadic population of the young breeds a resentment toward the ‘haves’ (those with property) and a feeling of detachment from a society they feel is rigged against them.

A rising affordability gap has driven the trend, with only 9% of local authority areas having homes priced below five times the area’s average earnings. How can young couples settle down when the cost of doing so remains prohibitively high? A nation that cannot house its young is not preparing for the future, it is setting itself up to fail.

At the same time, the country’s population is, to be blunt, not replacing itself. Our birth rate has dropped to a record low, with only 1.44 children per woman in the country. And we are now a nation with more deaths recorded than births, a demographic inversion not seen since the 1970s. Millennials and Gen Z are often maligned for this statistic, slammed for ‘refusing to have children’. But who can blame them? Are they really refusing out of selfishness and cynicism, or simply because they cannot afford to do it? It isn’t that my generation doesn’t value family; it is that a family life is no longer economically viable.

Engagement in culture is fading too. Fewer people go to the theatre, attend concerts, or visit museums. Visiting historical sites across the country is increasingly a pursuit for the elderly. This isn’t simply because of digital distractions, shortening attention spans, or the pressures brought about by the cost of living. A big part of it is that culture just doesn’t feel as shared or meaningful as it once did. Culture used to be rooted in local institutions and helped tell a shared national story. Now it’s either managed by distant officials or left to wither. While Westminster argues over funding, communities are losing the places that once gave them identity and connection—more than just names on a map.

At the heart of all these challenges is the slow erosion of the building block of society: the family unit. Incomes continue to stagnate. Families now need nearly £90,000 a year to support young children and keep up mortgage payments. For all the talk we hear of family values, little is being done to support marriage and the raising of children. Efforts to enable people to ‘work from home’ are met with derision and political backlash—policies such as this, that could actually encourage family growth, are pushed to the side.

The result? For the first time, fewer than half of adults are married, and fewer have families of their own. The institution that once anchored British life has become optional, even discouraged, by design.

As a country, we need to do more than talk and debate the issue. We fundamentally need to reverse course. Not with slogans, and certainly not with an increase in central planning, but by unleashing the principles of freedom, tradition, and civic renewal.

We need to build. That means reforming the planning system (or tearing it up entirely and starting over), freeing up land for development, and enabling communities to shape their own growth and take charge. Ultimately, we need to make it easier for people to own their own homes and get out of the rent trap, not make it harder.

Society must move toward supporting families—in whatever form they take. This should not be achieved through handouts, but by recognising marriage in the tax system, expanding the Marriage Allowance. And yes, perhaps we should be open to widening the definition—any two adults raising a child together should be able to qualify for such tax benefits. We must move to a place where, once again, it can be economically rational to start and support a family.

And we need to revive our cultural life, not through more state spending but by empowering civil society. Cut the red tape that stifles wide local initiatives. Make charitable giving to the arts easier and more attractive. Let communities take the lead and champion what makes them great.

Our country is not beyond saving. But it will not save itself without communities being allowed to take charge. The longer we wait, the deeper the rot grows. Yet decline does not have to be destiny. A revival is not automatic. If we want to build a country worth passing on, we’ll need to make serious changes—based on the belief that most people still want to put down roots, raise a family, and be part of something bigger, if they’re given the freedom and support to do so.

Spanish town council votes to suspend Moroccan culture program in schools

screengrab youtube

A local council in mainland Spain has voted to suspend the Arabic Language and Moroccan Culture Program currently offered in several schools across the region.

The motion, presented by the VOX Municipal Group of the El Casar council, was approved during the most recent plenary session with support from both VOX and the Partido Popular (PP).

As reported by La Crónic, the measure passed with seven votes in favor — comprising VOX and PP councillors — against five votes from the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) and Unidas por El Casar. One PSOE councillor also abstained.

VOX’s spokeswoman in El Casar, Olga González, defended the motion by invoking a need to protect Spain’s cultural identity. “The initiative responds to the defense of Spanish cultural identity and the need for the public education system to remain free of foreign interference and ideologies alien to our roots,” she said.

The program in question, formally known as the Arabic Language and Moroccan Culture Program (PLACM), is coordinated by Spain’s Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Moroccan government. It is primarily aimed at students of Moroccan descent and is already being implemented in several schools across the Castilla-La Mancha region. Though the program is officially described as extracurricular and voluntary, VOX has raised concerns over its content and oversight.

“It involves the institutionalization of a culture alien to our roots within the public education system, taught by teachers sent directly by the Moroccan State and with content whose transparency and supervision are far from guaranteed,” VOX argued.

Councilor González further elaborated on her party’s position, stating, “Spain is a welcoming country, but it cannot and should not renounce its identity to please globalist agendas or foreign diplomatic interests. Our priority is and must be cultural unity, real integration, and respect for our historical and constitutional values.”

VOX has sought to reform the education system across regions in which the party has influence. In January this year, Remix News reported on a parliamentary inquiry instigated by the party that found around 200 schools across the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia now teach Islam as part of their curriculum.

VOX linked the findings to demographic data from the Infancy and Adolescence Observatory in Andalusia, published in November 2024, which highlighted that Moroccans make up the largest group of non-Spanish nationals under the age of 19 in the region, accounting for nearly 30 percent of foreign nationals in this age group.

“It is revealed that the Andalusian region has succumbed to the effects of the permanent arrivals of immigrants from the Maghreb, mostly Muslim areas and with a high number of practitioners,” the local VOX party stated in a press release at the time.

“Indeed, the development and presence of this matter in the Andalusian classrooms clearly represents the priorities of the current Andalusian popular government,” it added.

German Trans-Identified Male Who Procured Children for Millionaire Pedophile to Rape Given Lenient Sentence Due to “Gender Identity”

CONTENT NOTICE: This article contains graphic references to the forced prostitution and sexual abuse of children, as detailed in court proceedings. Reader discretion is advised.

In a shocking conclusion to one of Germany’s most depraved child abuse cases, a Munich court has handed down the sentences for a millionaire pedophile and his transgender accomplice who were involved in the depraved sexual abuse and trafficking of prepubescent girls.

A Munich court has ruled that 81-year-old millionaire Helmut Reiner Dorsch must serve 4 years and 4 months in prison for his role in the crime, while his transgender assistant, known only as Arbend S., will serve 5 years and 6 months for his role.

Reduxx can now exclusively reveal that Arbend, a 31-year-old male who identifies as a “trans woman,” received particular leniency in his sentencing due to his self-declared transgender status, with the court citing his “heightened prison sensitivity” as a mitigating factor. 

The trial, which began in September of 2024 and spanned 46 days, exposed a sickening collaboration between Dorsch, a multi-millionaire, and Arbend, who procured young girls for Dorsch to abuse at his villa in Pullach, Munich. As previously reported by Reduxx, Dorsch had a preference for girls “as small and slim as possible,” often under 8 years old. He paid thousands of euros for them to be delivered to his mansion so that he could rape them.

Presiding judge Matthias Braumandl described the two as “symbiotically intertwined,” noting that Dorsch viewed children as “mere sexual objects” and displayed a “life-dominating obsession” with pedophilia. But Dorsch depended on Arbend to access his victims, who reportedly had a “remarkable ability” to gain children’s trust and lure them to Dorsch, according to Süddeutsche Zeitung. 

The court established that Dorsch and Arbend met in 2018 through an online platform, where Dorsch paid Arbend for sexual services and repeatedly asked Arbend to procure children for abuse in exchange for thousands of euros. Arbend complied, and personally delivered children to Dorsch’s villa. 

According to the public prosecutor’s office, Dorsch is said to have first sought out vulnerable mothers on the internet between 2005 and 2017 in order to coerce them into prostitution and making their daughters available for sexual abuse in exchange for money.

According to the Rheinische Post, at least two women handed their children over to him and were even present during the rape. In one of the sickening incidents, a 12-year-old girl was forced to call Dorsch “daddy” while he sexually abused her.

During another occasion, Arbend invited a friend with a 5-year-old daughter to Munich for a spa day, offering to watch the child while the unsuspecting mother enjoyed wellness treatments he had organized. While she was at the spa, Arbend took the girl to Dorsch’s estate. At the villa, Dorsch undressed the child, leaving her naked to walk around and then forced her to sit on his lap to abuse her. Dorsch paid Arbend €1,800 for this act. On another occasion, Arbend is said to have arranged for Dorsch to rape his 7-year-old cousin.

Arbend subsequently demanded more money from Dorsch, secretly recording him abusing children to use the footage as leverage in financial demands. By threatening to release the videos, he extorted an additional €200,000 from Dorsch.

The pair also planned a large-scale “child abuse program,” using drastic language about how they could rape six children at the same time and discussing details such as food provisions for their captive victims. Braumandl noted that this “orgy,” as the pair called it, was meticulously planned but fortunately never executed.

Arbend and Dorsch were taken into custody in June of 2023 after authorities began investigating Arbend’s online activity. A raid on Dorsch’s villa uncovered hundreds of child abuse recordings, including images of infants, while Arbend was found to have created child pornography by altering adult content.

Dorsch also contacted a woman through the online platform “mysugardaddy,” instructing her to visit his home dressed in childlike clothing and to role-play as his 8-year-old daughter. During the encounter, he showed her child pornography, played recordings of his own acts of child abuse, and attempted to pressure her into procuring children for him, offering payment. She refused and left.

On May 6, 2025, the 20th Criminal Chamber of Munich Regional Court I delivered its verdict. Dorsch was convicted of severe sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography, and planning sexual abuse of children, receiving 4 years and 4 months in prison. The court also considered Dorsch’s prior conviction for possessing child pornography, which resulted in a fine but did not deter his actions, a point Braumandl criticized for lacking sufficient investigative rigor, according to the press release from Munich Higher Regional Court. 

Arbend was convicted of severe sexual abuse of children, forced prostitution, extortion, and producing child pornography. But despite the severity of his crimes, he was handed a prison sentence of just 5 years and 6 months, with the court citing his “heightened prison sensitivity” without further explanation.

Reduxx contacted the Press Office for Criminal Matters at the Munich Higher Regional Court to clarify the lenient sentencing. A court spokesperson confirmed that Arbend’s self-identification as a “trans woman“ was a factor in the consideration of “heightened prison sensitivity.” 

The spokesperson stated that Judge Braumandl, during the oral justification of the verdict, noted “that he assumes a heightened prison sensitivity for a trans-person, so that pre-trial detention, unlike the usual case, exceptionally served as a mitigating factor in this instance.” It was further verified that Arbend is housed in a men’s prison but was addressed with feminine pronouns throughout the trial, per his request.

The decision to take Arbend’s transgender identity into consideration for sentencing comes as Germany’s Self-Determination Act, in force since November 2024, has come under increasing scrutiny. The law allows individuals to change their name and legal sex with a simple declaration at the registry office, even while incarcerated.

A similar case reported by Reduxx in March highlights ongoing concerns about Germany’s judicial approach to trans-identified offenders.

In Gießen, a 42-year-old trans-identified male, known as “Sophie KoKo,” received 10 months probation for exposing his genitals to migrant children, soliciting them for sexual abuse, and spraying them with urine, with the court citing his actions as an attempt to “affirm his femininity.” 

Like Arbend’s case, KoKo’s self-declared transgender status resulted in a lenient sentence, raising alarms about prioritizing perpetrators’ identities over child safety under Germany’s Self-Determination Act.

Leading BLM Activist Busted Trying to Meet Child For Sex — Once Worked as Brand Ambassador For Top English Soccer Club Arsenal London (VIDEO)

Aston Mack / Arsenal ad

A prominent Black Lives Matter activist has been caught trying to meet up with a child for sex.

In a sting filmed by veteran pedophile hunter Chris Hansen, Aston Mack was arrested after meeting a “child” who was actually an undercover police officer.

Footage shows the sheriff’s deputies raiding Mack’s residence and detaining him after he tries to escape.

“Can you grab my shoe?” he pleads as he is taken away

Originally from Florida, Mack is a far-left activist who led Black Lives Matter riots following the death of George Floyd back in 2020.

In 2022, he was even invited by the English Premier League team Arsenal to show off their new away jersey, standing alongside star player Martin Odegaard as part of the launch.

Arsenal have now removed an interview with Mack from their website.

During an appearance on Jesse Watters Fox News show on Friday, Hansen gave more details about the arrest.

“35-year-old Aston Mack, BLM activist, worked with challenged children in Orlando, claimed to me that he had the sex trafficking hotline number on his phone in his pocket and was just gonna help this girl out,” Hansen explained.

“But the texts tell a very different story,” Hansen added.

Paris Theatre Faces Financial Ruin After Migrant Occupation

(La Gaîté Lyrique: La Gaîté Lyrique, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons)

The Théâtre de la Gaîté Lyrique in central Paris is on the brink of bankruptcy after a nearly 100-day illegal occupation by migrants—many of them falsely claiming to be minors—left the historic venue with over €3 million in financial losses. Despite co-funding the theatre and owning the property, Paris’ Socialist-run city council has now said it will not provide any additional economic support to help it recover.

The crisis began in December 2024, when around 250 migrants, later rising to 450, took over the theatre with the backing of pro-immigration groups. While management initially welcomed the group under the banner of humanitarianism, the occupation soon spiralled out of control. Events were cancelled, safety deteriorated, and revenue evaporated. By late February, staff had walked out, citing worsening violence and their inability to operate the venue.

Police only intervened to evict the squatters in mid-March after months of political hesitation. By then, the damage had already been done to the theatre’s finances, programming, and reputation. The venue, once a flagship of Parisian cultural life, is now fighting for survival.

Le Parisien reports that management and cultural partners have expressed outrage at the city’s refusal to help cover the shortfall, branding the move “incomprehensible” and a betrayal of prior commitments. While the city has paid its standard annual subsidy of €3.3 million, Gaîté Lyrique’s director Juliette Donadieu says that’s nowhere near enough to make up for the exceptional losses. The theatre, she notes, relies on ticket sales and private bookings for 70% of its income.

Political figures across the spectrum have criticised the city’s inaction. Green councillors and even members of President Macron’s Renaissance party have called for the theatre to be rescued. 

What was once a symbol of cultural progressivism has become a cautionary tale of ideological naivety colliding with political reality. For now, the Gaîté Lyrique’s management insists they will fight on—but without urgent support, one of Paris’s most storied venues may soon be lost for good.

Watch: Pro Border-Control Polish Voters Chant ‘Donald Trump’ Ahead of Presidential Elections

Both Poland and Romania will host presidential elections this Sunday, and a joint rally by the sovereigntist candidates from both nations saw a crowd of Polish voters chant the U.S. President’s name in response to a call for border control.

X

Romanian Presidential election first-round do-over winner George Simion travelled this week to Poland to rally alongside the right-wing challenger for the highest office in Poland, Karol Nawrocki, calling on Europe to reject neo-Marxism, open borders, and to embrace freedom. The two men have already spoken of forming a “pro-MAGA” alliance in Eastern Europe, reports Poland’s TVP, calling also to “Make Europe Great Again”, ‘MEGA’.

Romanian Simion, standing besides Nawrocki at a rally in Zabrze, Silesia, Poland on Tuesday apologised for not speaking Polish well and switched to English, decrying “unelected bureaucrats” undermining democracy — Romania’s first presidential election was annulled before being re-run with the winning candidate disqualified — and honouring Poland’s “anti-communist fighters” of history.

Saying Europeans must again fight for freedom, as many did during the Cold War, he said it is time to “fight again for freedom, for our rights, for our Christian family, for our countries… Everywhere in Europe the nations are waking up, and will not allow the neo-Marxist ideology and the green deal to take place. This is a new form of communism. We will oppose illegal migration, we will stop the anti-American change in Europe.”

In response to this, the crowd of supporters broke out into a spontaneous chant of “Donald Trump”.

Simeon responded to this, saying of the U.S. President: “Donald Trump is not just a person, he is a symbol of freedom that will travel all over the free world… on Sunday, here in Poland and in Romania we have Presidential elections, and the most powerful man in the world, Donald Trump, is supporting Karol Nawrocki.”

Nawrocki met with Trump in the Oval Office earlier this month, posing for photographs and saying that Trump had told him he would win.

Poland’s election on Sunday will be the first round in the country’s two-round system. Held every five years, if no single candidate gains 50 per cent of the votes, the election is run again two weeks later between the top two candidates, making a majority verdict certain. It is a similar system to that used by France, for instance, where the system is designed to exclude candidates from outside the mainstream, as all centrists of varying political traditions can coalesce around a moderate candidate in the second round to defeat a newcomer.

Nawrocki, a historian who is the director of the Institute of National Remembrance and ex-director of the Polish Museum of the Second World War, is of Poland’s conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, presently out of office after a record-breaking stretch in power. His main opponent is pro-European Union Mayor of Warsaw Rafal Trzaskowski, who presently leads Nawrocki in polling by five per cent.

Nawrocki has weathered a difficult week in the press, after he claimed in a speech — appealing to the sensibilities of the working man — to be of the “one apartment” owner class. However, it was later stated in some Polish media that he actually owned more than one property, and bids to explain this away have fallen flat.

British celebrity shows contempt for Christian faith in letter attacking anti-euthanasia MPs

Esther Rantzen. Wikimedia Commons, Number 10,CC-BY-2.0

“In a hundred years, if Christians are identified as people who do not kill their children or the elderly, we will have done well,” said theologian Stanley Hauerwas in an interview in 2012.

It didn’t take 100 years.

In a letter to politicians ahead of this week’s parliamentary debate on assisted suicide in the United Kingdom, television host and euthanasia activist Dame Esther Rantzen, who is suffering from terminal lung cancer, expressed her frustration that her family could allegedly face prosecution for accompanying her to Dignitas, the Swiss suicide service located in Zurich.

Rantzen urged MPs, several of whom have announced publicly that they are rescinding their previous support for MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, to vote for it—and stated that a primary barrier to its passage is parliamentarians with “undeclared religious beliefs” who were not being forthright about their motivations and were merely hiding their faith-based opposition behind other concerns.

“There are some who oppose this crucial reform,” Rantzen wrote. “Many of them have undeclared personal religious beliefs which mean no precautions would satisfy them.”

MPs were livid at Rantzen’s missive. Labour MP Jess Asato stated that “Many colleagues found this distasteful and disrespectful.” MP Florence Eshalomi concurred: “As politicians we have to be clear that members with valid concerns about this bill are not raising it because of some ideology or religious belief. It is because we recognize that if this bill passes it may impact everyone.”

She added: “It is frankly insulting to disabled people, hardworking professionals up and down the country who have raised many valid concerns about this Bill, to have it dismissed as religious beliefs.” Indeed, the Royal College of Psychiatrists recently made a stunning intervention, stating that they cannot support the bill due to “serious concerns” about safeguards; the Royal College of Physicians followed suit, stating that there are “concerning deficiencies” with the bill.

Indeed, the most prominent criticisms of the bill highlighted the danger it poses to the vulnerable, the fact that every disability rights group in the country opposes it, and the mass rejection of proposed safeguards. Dame Esther Rantzen is a wealthy and privileged person, who believes that her right to receive state-approved and medically-administered suicide trumps the right of the vulnerable—who have been speaking very loudly on this issue—to safety and security.

But more revealing is Rantzen’s assertion that someone’s religious beliefs are somehow disqualifying. Why should Rantzen’s ideological belief that suicide and euthanasia are “human rights”—a view grounded in nothing but her precommitment to radical autonomy and glazed over with an appeal to compassion for the suffering cannibalized from Christianity—trump Christian opposition to suicide?

It is true that Christians oppose assisted suicide and euthanasia, not least because we believe that unjustly killing people is wrong. Western civilization has been served well by this belief. Why is that foundational belief, in Rantzen’s view, inferior to her own selfish demands for total autonomy at the cost of those too vulnerable to wield control of their own lives? Rantzen had no answer for the protestors in wheelchairs weeping outside Westminster as she exulted in the assisted suicide bill passing first reading, and so instead she accuses Christians—who stand with the vulnerable—of harboring “undeclared” beliefs.

Stanley Hauerwas was tragically correct, although his timeline was optimistic. The truth is that the fate of the vulnerable in the UK does now lie in the hands of Christian MPs willing to vote their consciences—and MPs who still cling to the very Christian view that the vulnerable are entitled to society’s protection. Labour MP Karl Turner said this week that he would not vote for the assisted suicide bill a second time because he does not believe that he should “be God.” Dame Esther Rantzen disagrees with him. God help us if she succeeds.

Britain’s National Health Service will continue to encourage ‘trans toddlers’

leicspart.nhs.ukl

By Andrea Widburg

When my son was a toddler, he thought he was Spider-Man, a soldier, and a fireman. My children believed in Santa, that thunder killed, and that temper tantrums worked. As to all but one of those things, they were wrong. It turns out that, if you’re a so-called “transgender” activist and tantrum loudly enough, Britain’s National Health Service (“NHS”) will agree to treat (i.e., “affirm”) allegedly “trans toddlers.”

For toddlers, every day is a miracle. Most things are new to them, and absolutely nothing is explainable. That’s why they can believe with passionate sincerity in the most outrageous fictions. Indeed, a popular Quora forum had parents list the funny things their toddlers believed to be true. The list included these gems:

The list of fantastical things that toddlers believe is legion. They also misinterpret things, a trait that can last a long time.

When I was a very little girl, my parents told me that my father’s brother, who had been a true genius (allegedly the best student in the history of Berlin’s storied Moses Mendelssohn School, as of 1925 or so), ended his life as a “custodian” due to communism’s destructive effect on his ambition. I knew what that meant: My uncle was a janitor, something I often told people. I didn’t discover until I was in high school that, in reality, he was a low-level civil servant in Denmark working as a “custodian of records.”

Children, because of their naivete, their limited fund of knowledge, and the world of assumptions in which they live, get the wrong end of the stick all the time. For them, reality is elusive and confusing, and the younger they are, the more serious this reality gap is. And of course, it is most serious of all when the adults in their world, through malice or their own mental illness, tell them malevolent lies about reality.

That’s why it’s utterly appalling to learn that the NHS will continue to see so-called “trans” children, without any lower age limit, at its gender clinics. And as a reminder, these gender clinics never tell people that they’re suffering from treatable gender dysphoria, which is often tied to sexual trauma, childhood abuse, mental illness, or autism. Instead, these clinics exist to “affirm” gender dysphoria through brutal, permanently disfiguring chemical and surgical interventions that leave people infertile, incapable of sexual function, and at risk of cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.

Britain’s Telegraph reported:

The NHS is treating nursery-age children who believe they are transgender after watering down its own guidance, The Telegraph can reveal.

The health service was previously set to introduce a minimum age of seven for children to be seen by its specialist gender clinics, claiming anything less was “just too young”.

The limit was removed after the proposals were put out to consultation, with new guidance due to be published showing that children of any age are eligible.

Currently, according to the same article, there are known to be as many as ten children in the program who are “nursery age,” as well as a total of 157 children under ten. This is utterly bizarre given the Cass Review, an independent study that the NHS commissioned, about children and gender dysphoria.

The report showed that the available research promoting child transgenderism is faulty and that the evidence shows that no one has looked seriously into factors other than so “transgenderism” (e.g., factors such as mental illness, abuse, etc.) to account for the number of children claiming to be the opposite sex. Boiled down, the report, while phrased in formal language, says stop accepting as true the claim that children are in the ‘wrong body’ and start addressing the real issues.

So why did the NHS ignore the report and announce that it was going to accept as real children’s contentions about their sex? It appears that it’s because the so-called “transgender” activists screamed. Again, from the Telegraph:

However, a source close to the consultation process said NHS England had “caved to the pressure” of trans activists to remove the [minimum age] limits.

As Western nations mutilate and sterilize children in the name of “gender inclusivity and affirmation,” Western civilization hangs in the balance.
