TikTok Mom Gives Ridiculous Explanation About Why She Began Transitioning Her Son to a Female When He Was Only TWO YEARS OLD!

 

The mother of a four-year-old boy uses her social media accounts to promote her son’s transition to a female. Her reasoning for why she is transitioning him is because he likes to dress up and didn’t want to play tee ball.

 

When her child was one and a half years old, he apparently wanted to play dress up with his older sister and wanted his fingernails painted.

 

When he was two years old, he would play dress up at preschool which was another big sign to his parents that he wanted to be a girl. However, just a few years ago, the woke left’s argument was that boys should be able to play dress up and participate in stereotypical “female” activities without being judged as exhibiting irregular behavior.

 

Now, if a boy wants to do things like play dress up, they clearly want to be a girl.

 

The mother also says that his childcare center was very accepting of her son’s desire to play dress up and “experiment” with his gender. Who knows how the teachers at this preschool were influencing his decisions and thoughts on gender?

 

Then around the age of four, her son “started wearing leggings and headbands” and made comments about wanting to be a girl.

 

So what did the parents do? They decided the ultimate test for their toddler would be to put him on a tee ball team to see if he would want to play.

 

It’s unclear why they thought this would be the deciding factor in whether or not he was actually meant to be a female. Girls play tee ball too, while plenty of boys don’t like to play the game.

 

Whether or not someone plays tee ball has absolutely nothing to do with gender.

 

However, since their kid didn’t like to play tee ball and didn’t like wearing the uniform, they decided that he was definitely a girl.

 

As someone who is a female, some days my parents couldn’t get me out the door for ballet practice when I was young because I simply didn’t want to go, not because I wanted to be a boy.

 

There is no sound logic in this mother’s argument for why she decided to transition her child who is too young to fully understand the concept of gender.

Russia: “If Seymour Hersh Is Lying About Nord Stream Sabotage, Why Doesn’t Biden Sue Him?”

 

The US government would have sued investigative reporter Seymour Hersh for slander if it had nothing to do with the sabotage at the Nord Stream pipelines, Russian Environmental Protection Representative Sergey Ivanov told TASS.

 

“The investigation by Hersh, a famous journalist, which is being widely published, is being commented on. … I know the Western mentality and Western rules pretty well. Had the Americans not been involved, they would have sued Hersh for a libel a long time ago and claimed financial damages worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Defamation cases are usually like that in America,” Ivanov said. “But they aren’t. This means they understand they won’t win”.

 

The US and its allies’ attitude shows the West can’t be trusted, Ivanov said. “They’re just acting like nothing happened, that there were no explosions, and they and the Norwegians have nothing to do with it. This just goes to show you can trust neither words nor even written obligations from the West,” Ivanov said.

White House official says Ohio train derailment doesn't qualify for disaster relief

 

'FEMA is on the frontlines when there is a hurricane or tornado. This situation is different,' an official said

 

The Biden administration told Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine that the Norfolk Southern train derailment situation wasn't eligible for disaster relief because what "East Palestine needs is much more expansive than what FEMA can provide."

 

"The Biden Administration is mobilizing a robust, multi-agency effort to support the people of East Palestine, Ohio. Since February 3, the Environmental Protection Agency has had personnel on the ground," an official told Fox News Digital. "FEMA is coordinating with the emergency operations center working closely with the Ohio Emergency Management Agency."

 

"But what East Palestine needs is much more expansive than what FEMA can provide," the statement continued. "FEMA is on the frontlines when there is a hurricane or tornado. This situation is different."

 

The Norfolk Southern train derailed near the Ohio-Pennsylvania, resulting in a days-long fire. Ten of the 50 train cars contained toxic chemicals including vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate, which are combustible liquids. They were siphoned off a few days ago in an attempt to avert an explosion.

 

Residents in the city of East Palestine, where the accident occurred, had to evacuate out of precaution and safety but they remain concerned about the drinking water and how the spill will affect their animals.

 

The anonymous official told Fox that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Transportation and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are on the ground in Ohio and are helping residents.

 

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed this in a press briefing Wednesday.

 

Gov. DeWine told Fox that his office has been in contact with FEMA but was told that the situation wasn't eligible for disaster relief.

 

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg drew some backlash for some comments he made that came off as insensitive regarding the situation.

 

"While this horrible situation has gotten a particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1000 cases a year of a train derailing. Obviously they have levels of severity," Buttigieg said in a video uploaded by Yahoo News.

 

"Oh I feel much better now," Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley tweeted sarcastically in response to Buttigieg's statement.

NTSB chair suggests anyone 'speculating' about Ohio train disaster is spreading 'misinformation'

 

Theories about "what happened, didn’t happen, or should've happened" are harmful, official says.

 

An official with the Biden administration on Thursday suggested that mere speculation regarding this month's Ohio train derailment constitutes misinformation of some kind.

 

Jennifer Homendy, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, assured Americans in a Twitter thread on Thursday evening that the NTSB is "working vigorously to understand what caused this train derailment" so "it never happens again."

 

Further on in the thread, Homendy claimed that "anyone speculating about what happened, didn’t happen, or should've happened is misleading a suffering community."

 

"PLEASE STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION," she pleaded, citing reported theories about malfunctions in the train's electronically controlled pneumatic brake system.

 

"I urge you: let the NTSB lead the [safety] analysis," Homendy wrote, claiming: "Anything else is harmful — and adding pain to a community that’s been through enough."

'Abortion travel agency': Pentagon will allow military members to travel for abortions on taxpayer dime

 

The Pentagon released new policies on Thursday directing the agency to fund out-of-state travel for service members wishing to obtain an abortion.

 

Following an October 2022 memorandum from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to protect access to "non-covered reproductive health care," the Defense Department announced three new policies related to abortion and reproductive health care.

 

Under the new policies:

 

Policy 1: Service members who become pregnant now have until 20 weeks gestation to inform their commanders of the pregnancy.

Policy 2: Service members can take 21 days leave to "receive, or to accompany a dual-military spouse or a dependent who receives, non-covered reproductive health care," which includes abortion and other reproductive health care, such as IVF.

Policy 3: Service members will receive travel allowances for themselves and their "dependents to travel to access non-covered reproductive health care" when "non-covered reproductive health care services is not available within the local area of the member’s permanent duty station," according to the Pentagon.

 

The language "non-covered reproductive health care" is important. Legally speaking, the Defense Department cannot use taxpayer funds to pay for abortions; that would violated the Hyde Amendment.

 

But apparently, it can use taxpayer funds to assist in service members getting abortions. This means that service members stationed in a locality where abortion is not legal will be granted taxpayer funds to travel to another state where abortion is legal to end their pregnancy.

 

The new policies will take effect in 30 days.

What was the reaction?

 

Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Mike Rogers (R) condemned the new policies, saying they make the Defense Department an "abortion travel agency."

 

"Today, the Biden administration chose to make the Department of Defense an abortion travel agency over a lethal fighting force," the Alabama congressman said. "As I have repeatedly told the political leaders of this administration, taking this action jeopardizes congressional authorizations for our warfighters. I am extremely disappointed the Biden administration chose once again to use our military to placate the radical left."

'I trust the science': EPA official says he would let his kids drink water from East Palestine

 

"Yes, as a father, I trust the science. I trust the methodology that this state is using. And as a parent, I would."

 

On Thursday, the lawmakers and EPA officials held a press conference in East Palestine, Ohio to address concerns following the February 3 Norfolk Southern 50-car train derailment that released toxic chemicals into the area and EPA administrator Michael S. Regan was asked if he would let his children drink the water, which residents have worried is contaminated.

 

According to the Daily Mail, Regan said, "Yes, as a father, I trust the science. I trust the methodology that this state is using. And as a parent, I would."

 

According The Post Millennial, Vance recorded a video showing a creek reflecting the rainbow tint that is the sign of chemical contamination. Governor Mike DeWine confirmed that particular stream was contaminated.

 

East Palestine residents had been ordered out of their residences after the train derailed. As The Post Millennial reported, on February 6 authorities began burning off the chemicals to minimize the risk of a vinyl chloride explosion. On February 9 residents returned home and they found the odor of chemicals remaining in the air along with dead fish in rivers and creeks, causing concerns the local water supply had become contaminated.

 

Residents have also complained about a film of soot on their property and that they have suffered from eye irritation and headaches after returning home.

 

Regan said the EPA has been conducting 24/7 air monitoring and that the air is safe to breathe. They have also screened roughly 500 East Palestine homes for contaminants.

 

Fox News reports Regan said, "If those homes haven’t been tested or if they’re on private well water, I would advise that they get those homes tested and as [Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine] and the State Health Department has recommended, continue to use bottled water until those homes get tested.

 

GOP Congressman Bill Johnson said, "If your home has been air and water tested [and] if you’re still having other symptoms, then you have other decisions that you need to make and let authorities know."

 

The Biden administration has refused requests from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine to provide help via the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to aid in the cleanup.

 

Norfolk Southern Railroad has offered financial compensation to displaced residents but the citizens have noted that the documents presented for signing in order to receive monies include indemnification clauses.

According to the Daily Mail, a Norfolk Southern spokesperson said this was a mistake and, "Those incorrect forms were immediately pulled when the problem was discovered. No one in the community has waived their legal rights against Norfolk Southern through this program or any interaction with us thus far."

A panel of Canadian lawmakers has called for the country’s assisted suicide program to be extended to minors, even in cases where their parents object to the decision to end their lives.

 

The special committee of MPs and senators, which was charged with reviewing Ottawa’s so-called “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) program, issued a series of recommendations this week in Canada’s House of Commons. The report urged the government to amend its law on assisted suicide to make the service available to minors deemed to have “the requisite decision-making capacity.”

 

Assisted suicide should be available only to “mature minors” whose “natural death is reasonably foreseeable,” the committee said. The government would need to establish standards for assessing a youngster’s capacity to make such a decision, the report added, but the lawmakers offered no specifics on how imminent a person’s death would need to be for the government to help end their life.

 

The committee also suggested that parents or guardians should be consulted on their child’s suicide decision “where appropriate.” However, Ottawa also should require that “the will of a minor who is found to have the requisite decision-making capacity take priority,” according to the report.

 

Another recommendation called for the government to “undertake consultations with minors on the topic of MAiD, including minors with terminal illnesses, minors with disabilities, minors in the child welfare system and Indigenous minors.”

 

Critics of Canada’s MAiD program blasted the panel’s findings. “Unhappy teenagers are such a burden on the welfare state that Parliament believes doctors should be paid to murder them,” podcast host Kevin Michael Grace said.

 

The committee issued its report after hearing from nearly 150 witnesses, Canada’s Global News reported on Thursday. Many of the witnesses argued that minors are already allowed to make decisions about withholding medical treatment, hastening their death in some cases, and the level of suffering they endure from a terminal illness isn’t a function of age.

 

More than 30,000 Canadians have died by assisted suicide since it was legalized for people with terminal illnesses in 2016. The program was expanded in 2021 to include adults with serious and chronic medical conditions, even if their malady wasn’t life-threatening. Lawmakers were set this year to consider extending MAiD eligibility to people suffering solely from a mental illness, but Attorney General David Lametti announced the tabling of that bill earlier this month.

YouTube Boss Susan Wojcicki Steps Down, but Her Replacement Loves Censorship Too

 

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki recently announced plans to step down as CEO and will be succeeded by the censorship-happy Neal Mohan. Wojcicki leaves a legacy of censoring independent creators and favoring corporate media.

 

CNBC reports that Susan Wojcicki has announced that she is stepping down as CEO of YouTube after eight years in the role, and YouTube Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan will replace her. With more than 2.5 billion monthly active users, YouTube has become the most popular video platform in the world. She has overseen the expansion of the company’s physical footprint in areas such as New York and San Bruno, California.

 

Wojcicki announced her resignation in a blog post, stating that she would be stepping down from her position to devote more time to her family, her health, and her passion projects. She will continue to have a presence at the company, collaborating with YouTube teams, mentoring staff, and meeting with creators. She has also agreed to accept an advisory position across Google and parent company Alphabet.

 

Neal Mohan will take over from Wojcicki. His appointment as the new head of YouTube suggests that the company is looking to continue its growth and expansion, but may extend its harsh censorship practices.

 

Since joining YouTube in 2008, Mohan has been vocal about encouraging censorship on the platform. In an interview with David Pierce, Protocol’s editor-at-large, Mohan claimed that independent creators who express their views on newsworthy subjects lack context and should therefore be silenced and censored. In order to provide context and explanations for news events, he claimed that authoritative sources are necessary. He contrasted authoritative content with content from other creators, arguing that independent creators do not provide the same level of context.

 

Under Wojcicki, YouTube introduced a policy stating that “anything that would go against WHO (World Health Organization) recommendations is a violation of our policy.” The policy was critcized by many, including the well-known podcaster Joe Rogan. YouTube has stated that authoritative sources are ten times more likely to appear at the top of search results for some news events and that it won’t recommend YouTubers for breaking news.

 

Although Mohan’s position on censorship is troubling, it is unclear how he will approach his new position as YouTube’s CEO. It is obvious that TikTok and other social media platforms are increasingly challenging YouTube, and the company will need to keep innovating and evolving to stay on top.

 

The ability of YouTube to overcome the difficulties it has recently encountered will also be a determining factor in the company’s future growth and expansion. Containing the platform’s explosive growth has been one of the biggest challenges. Google and YouTube paid $170 million in 2019 to resolve allegations that the video platform had broken laws governing children’s privacy. Along with the coronavirus pandemic and the 2020 elections, Wojcicki faced criticism from leftists for the platform’s inability to thwart supposed “misinformation” and “disinformation” campaigns, while conservatives criticized the company for its harsh censorship rules.

 

The demonetization practices of YouTube, which have cost some creators money, have also drawn criticism. According to the company, it is working to enhance its procedures and guarantee that creators are treated fairly.
