This reply came after I had left him a detailed message at his office, to which he did not respond. Ferate also did not contact me and did not comment further on why the Republicans in Oklahoma are all raring to give OUCH millions of dollars. He went very quiet after this retweet and did not respond to my requests to interview him about the goals of the Oklahoma GOP and why they exist if they can’t help their Republican leadership get in line with voters.
Dahm was the only Republican brave enough to face the friendly fire on Monday.
What the panel and I wanted to know from Oklahoma Republicans is: How on earth did a red state as conservative as theirs manage to not only allow a gender clinic for children to operate in their state, but how they could consider giving the hospital running it a $90 million bonus?
The stony silence with which we were met solidified everyone on the panel’s resolve to put pressure on Oklahoma. Gays Against Groomers founder Jaimee Michell tweeted, “We just decided we’re going to put a GAG truck right outside OUCH (Oklahoma University Children’s Hospital) demanding they stop sterilizing and mutilating children in their gender clinic. EXPECT US.” Ousley, Billboard Chris, Mike Harlow, and Lui all vowed to help campaign against anyone who voted to fund the clinic where doctors give children chemical castration drugs.
Between all of us on the stream, we reach over 200,000 people. We spent a full day with all our accounts actively campaigning to get some attention on Oklahoma Republicans who don’t seem to care about children being harmed with tax dollars and trying to get statements on the record. Then, around 10 p.m., a mystery bill appeared out of nowhere that purported to restrict OUCH from performing any gender-related services on children. The bill was introduced by…Oklahoma Republican representatives.
[N]o monies shall be budgeted or expended by the Authority for the benefit of any facility owned by the University Hospitals Authority or University Hospitals Trust performing “gender reassignment medical treatment”, as defined in this section, on children under eighteen (18) years of age.
For the purposes of this section, “gender reassignment medical treatment” means any health care to facilitate the transitioning of a patient’s assigned gender identity on the patient’s birth certificate, to the gender identity experienced and defined by the patient.
-
The term includes: a. interventions to suppress the development of endogenous secondary sex characteristics…
b. interventions to align the patient’s appearance or physical body with the patient’s gender identity, and
c. medical therapies and medical intervention used to treat gender dysphoria.
-
The term shall not include: a. behavioral healthcare services or mental health counseling,
b. medications to treat depression and anxiety, or
c. services provided to individuals born with ambiguous genitalia, incomplete genitalia, or both male and female anatomy, or biochemically verifiable disorder of sex development (DSD),…
While that sounds good, there’s a major problem with this bill, and I had Senator Shane Jett (the second Republican to man up and respond to questions) on a live stream on Tuesday morning to discuss it. While the bill will not allow funds to go to the hospital if they are doing gender experimentation on children, it can’t be voted on until January. Why are the representatives just doing this now? They have known about this since 2020 when Senator Dahm introduced legislation to stop it that was blocked by Republican leader Greg McCortney.
McCortney has still not responded to PJ Media’s press inquiry about why he did that. His office is also not answering the phone.
Sen. Jett announced that he, Sen. Dahm, and a few other Republicans with backbones are starting a “Millstone Caucus,” referring to the words of Jesus that it would be better for a man to be tossed into the sea with a millstone slung around his neck than to harm a child. Jett says this caucus will fight for the rights of children to be free from gender theology and medicalization in Oklahoma. His advice to Oklahoma constituents is to burn up the phones at the capitol and ask each representative you talk to, “Are you a member of the Millstone Caucus?” PJ Media will continue to follow this developing story. Wednesday, the Oklahoma legislature will be live streaming their special session where they plan on voting on the bill that could give OUCH millions of taxpayer dollars. I plan on bringing that to my viewers, and we will make sure that every Republican who votes “yes” to fund this abuse will not do so in the dark.
