Assuming that In Our Backyard is legit, anons might want to obtain some stickers and post them in places like public restrooms or whereever there is high likelihood that a trafficked victim might see the sticker. Kinda wonder, though, considering the group is headquartered in Redmond, Oregon.

A sticker here, a sticker there … it could save a life

Sex trafficking is a year-round industry that often comes to the forefront at major sporting events – but those times offer prime opportunities to educate the public about the scourge that victimizes both women and men.

Authorities reported on Thursday that 33 people had been arrested in Atlanta on sex trafficking charges ahead of Sunday's NFL championship game. While declining to discuss the specifics of the case, the authorities added that four victims were rescued from the operation.

Advocates for sex trafficking victims say traffickers are attracted to large sporting events, such as the Super Bowl in Atlanta between the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots. However, Nita Belles of In Our Backyard says it's worse than it sounds.

"Human trafficking, both sex trafficking and labor trafficking, happens 365 days a year in every zip code in the United States. So it's not just at Super Bowls," she explains.

The good news? Belles says efforts to combat sex trafficking and raise awareness have improved in recent years. "We have to change what our society thinks about what they call 'sex work,' because the majority of what is called sex work is actually human trafficking," she tells OneNewsNow.

Belles recommends people share articles and have discussions with friends and family members about sex trafficking. In Our Backyard also has a "Freedom Sticker" campaign that features the phone number for the National Human Trafficking Hotline, as well as a way for someone being trafficked to send a text message for help. The stickers include information in Spanish.

"People can get on our website and request those and put them up in places where they get permission to do so," Belles instructs.

She suggests that one area to place a freedom sticker is inside a public restroom stall. "That's the only time a victim is alone and able to ask for help," she explains. "Sex trafficking victims almost always have a phone with them because that's how the trafficker controls their time and what they do, so I would encourage everyone to get on InOurBackyard.org and do some freedom sticker placement."

Stickers are available from In Our Backyard (anti-human-trafficking organization). The qsearch function didn't find any posts on this outfit, so I don't know if it's legit. Note that they're based in Oregan.

Truth too late for teens seeking a path to trans

Parents of teens who have suddenly decided to change their gender are discovering there's an army of cultural, social, medical, and even religious forces that are keeping them from helping their children.

A relatively new diagnosis called rapid-onset gender dysphoria is convincing mostly girls who have never before had problems with their sex to suddenly want to become boys. Dr. Michelle Cretella of the American College of Pediatrics says that's what happens when traditional teen angst meets a culture that celebrates sexual confusion.

"It is an adolescent who is doing his or her job of trying to figure out who they are, and they latch on to this false identity," she describes.

But parents desperate to rescue their youngsters are finding that friends and schools are encouraging the transitions; state laws are making it impossible to find counselors willing to address the underlying mental issues; and Planned Parenthood will get the children started on hormones – without, of course, even telling the parents.

"Society is actually separating these kids from their safety nets," Cretella explains. "It's literally going out after these kids, isolating them, allowing them to self-diagnose, and then putting them on this medical pathway."

And by the time the children realize that the sex change won't deliver on any of the promises society told them it would, it's often too late, says Dr. Cretella.

"Now they are stuck with a permanent 5 o'clock shadow, a male-sized Adams apple, a deep voice, and [find themselves] infertile and without breasts," she laments. "They are angry and permanently scarred."

One of the first, if not the first research paper on rapid-onset gender dysphoria appeared as a news story on the website of Brown University in August 2018. That news story was removed a few days later from the school's website over "concerns about research design and methods."

Sex Change isn’t Child’s Play

by Ronni Ann Lutovsky on September 23, 2018

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) calls upon the pediatric profession to exercise caution in following the recent recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to indiscriminately validate all “gender identities” in children. Without addressing the possibility of a child being transiently or pathologically confused, the AAP instructs pediatricians to always validate such feelings as normal, even to the point of prescribing dangerous hormones and performing surgical sex changes on young children. This posture blindly embraces the unscientific mantra of a recent “movement” that is destructive to children.

“Do No Harm” is a basic tenet of the medical profession. In his recent Op-Ed, former AAP and ACPeds president, Dr. Joseph Zanga, pleads with the pediatric profession to fully embrace this principle in the care of children who identify themselves as transgender. Dr. Zanga states, "Endorsing sex change for children as normal will inevitably lead more children to puberty-blocking drugs. This, in turn, virtually ensures they will “choose” a lifetime of toxic cross-sex hormones, and likely consider surgical mutilation of healthy body parts all for a condition that – in the vast majority of cases – would have resolved naturally by late adolescence."

He concludes, “The pediatric health profession has arrived at a crossroads. Do we stand firm in the practice of good ethical Medicine or do we follow the crowd? This is a simple question. First, do no harm.”
