Not yet, no, but they're so soft.
Thank you so much for having me, Glenn.
Well, absolutely, Glenn. And you have to remember, I think America has short-term memory sometimes. This was back in 2020. We did not know this was happening. I was volunteer of the year at the middle school where they socially transitioned my daughter.
And so I had no idea that not only had my field, the school system, the medical field, even our judicial branch, I had no idea I had been infiltrated by this radical ideology. And to clarify something, at the time of the social transition plan that they did with my daughter, without our knowledge or consent, she was identifying as non-binary. And so her identity changed four times over two years.
These kids, like my daughter, they are confused and they are looking to the adults in their life to tell them the truth and help make sense of their confusion.
My daughter told me. We have a very close relationship. So my husband and I We knew our daughter was struggling, but at that time, Abigail Schreier's book had not come out. So there was very little information about the social contagion that had been bubbling for a couple of years at that point.
Yeah, that's exactly right. And that's why the work that Do No Harm... is so important what they're doing because we have to re-educate. We have to root this ideology out of our institutions because the bottom line is the U.S. is now an outlier in how we are treating this mental health issue. This is a mental health issue, Glenn, that has been normalized, promoted and even celebrated.
My daughter was told she was brave, Glenn, and she wanted to cut her breast off at age 13. That is unfathomable what they were doing. And to be fair, it was very similar to when I used to treat clients with anorexia. There are so many parallels to the association these girls feel and go through. and the same type of disassociation with an eating disorder.
It was heartbreaking and it felt like we were in the twilight zone Because my husband and I were the only ones in our daughter's life trying to protect her from this irreversible medical pathway that this school put her on.
Yeah, Glenn, you know, a lot of people think that this came out of the blue. That is just not the case. Dr. Ryan Anderson was trying to sound the alarm back in 2018 for his book that was canceled when Harry became Sally. And he lays out how exactly this ideology infiltrated our institutions.
But what you have to remember is when I was trained as a mental health profession, this was seen as a mental health issue. It was extraordinarily rare. And this notion of people having a, quote, gender identity that is separate from their sex, that they choose to be a boy, girl, neither or both, which is what is being taught to our children now, that was non-existent.
So this has all been laid out for our children. They are creating confusion where no previous confusion were to have occurred, and this is not happening organically. So again, we have to inoculate our children from this insidious ideology and the lies of gender identity itself.
Well, first and foremost, you have to understand that that is a lie. There is no evidence. Even WPATH doctors admit there is no evidence. Chase Stranglio admitted in front of the Supreme Court in this committee oral hearing. There is no evidence these children will commit suicide if not immediately affirm or socially or medically transition.
In fact, the research shows, Glenn, that the vast majority of these kids will desist just like my daughter did. They will come to feel comfortable in the body they were born in if you do not socially or medically transition them. Again, this is a mental health issue and it is unbelievable
that doctors were cutting the breast off of girls as young as 12 years old in our country and sterilizing children, many of whom had co-occurring significant mental health issues, including autism.
It felt incredible. It felt like reality and sanity are returning to our great nation. I am just so incredibly grateful to President Trump and his administration for the steps that they are taking. But we know these executive orders alone are a great start that will not end this war on our children.
I was very surprised, Glenn. I am a stay-at-home mom. I literally went from being a door holder, just like I do every week, to getting on a plane to Washington, D.C. and heading to the White House. It still feels a bit surreal.
And, you know, to be honest, as exciting as it was, I was standing there not just on behalf of what my family went through, but on behalf of all families and the irreversible harm they have experienced because of this insidious ideology. So I felt the weight and the gravity because I still get called weekly. from parents waking up to this nightmare whose children have been captured weekly.
And I'm sure you're aware, Glenn, we have states now that are taking children from loving parents.
Because they will not affirm this lie. So we are still in crisis in this country. And President Trump and their administration are taking incredible steps. But we have much work to be done.
Well, if you saw the vote the other day, not one Democrat voted to protect girls' sports. That is unacceptable. So what I think needs to happen is we have lawsuits that are working their way through the court system. And unfortunately, these things take time. My lawsuit against the school district is still in litigation. We're in the appeals phase.
But what I think needs to happen is we need to get down to the merits of these interventions themselves. Because even Scrimeti at the Supreme Court is really just about states' rights and do they have a constitutional right to restrict these interventions on children. We have to get to where we are arguing the actual merits of these interventions.
And we know from evidence and systematic reviews that the risks far outweigh the benefits. Not that we need evidence to tell us that sterilizing children before they have the ability and maturity to consent to this is a bad idea.
So we did, and I'm sure you saw last night, there was such a diverse amount of people from all walks of lifeline, and it was really incredible, and many of them had truly tragic stories, but I truly feel that God is using their pain for purpose, just like God did for my family, and it was a really amazing experience.
You know, that little boy DJ that the Democrats just were so ugly about, that little boy brought so much joy, and he hugged every single person he encountered. That is what the American spirit is about. His father could not have been more proud. And for the Democrats to say that that was somehow negative is just ridiculous. All they're doing is playing politics.
It was a beautiful evening, and I was so proud to be there.
Well, both her and the second lady, you know, I had a chance to sit near both of them last night. That was an extraordinary honor. I never thought I would have. And they were so kind down to earth and you can just tell they love their families. This administration is all about restoring the American family.
putting a family first agenda, and I could not be more happy and proud to be a part of that.
Well, thank you, Glenn. If I could just say for any parents struggling with this issue, please go to our parent resource page at do-no-harm-medicine.org. You are not alone, and there is hope. You can parent your child on the other side of this confusion.
