Our mission is to raise awareness and support efforts to stop the unethical treatment of children under the duplicitous banner of gender identity affirmation.
“This is not the same as coming out as lesbian/gay; when that happens, it’s all ages of people, not a massive number of adolescents in peer groups. & there is no name change, new pronouns, pharmaceuticals, or surgeries if someone comes out as lesbian/gay. LGB is nothing like T.”
Another mom stated that a therapist asked her, “Do you want a live daughter or a dead son?” That’s bullying, that’s coercion, that’s psychological torture for a mother. No one should ask a parent that question. At the 3rd hearing on Ohio HB 454 the SAFE Act.

@BillboardChris
and I are getting a lot of support from Midwesterners in Chicago who know that gender identity is a myth and has no place in civilized society and no place in the lives of children. Thank you, Chicago!
Boston, Massachussets:
1 of 3 billboards paid for by 77 generous donors to our Collaborative Project, connecting victims to attorneys. Thank you to our supporters for bringing awareness to the harms caused by the gender industry.
The lawsuits are coming.
In Anaheim, preparing to raise awareness and encourage pediatricians at the

conference to review the evidence for “gender medicine,” stop referring to gender clinics and start treating children for the complex issues they have.

If our message wasn’t effective, no one would try to silence us. But counterprotestors came today in Chicago shouting in our faces and ripping signs out of our hands and destroying them. We just smiled at their attempts to trigger us. It didn’t work. It doesn’t work. It won’t…
Headed to downtown Chicago to stand with
@BillboardChris
having conversations with people about what’s happening with children and gender identity. It’s stormy now, but we’re bringing sunshine to this issue. We’ll see you there!
Coverage of today’s hearing in Florida: “We are here to state the obvious. No child can or ever will be born in the wrong body. Everybody knows what a woman is, but some people are afraid to say it. We are not afraid,” PEC co-founder Cooper said.
This morning in Tallahassee, Florida, four PEC volunteers were in the room while

The billboard company has received pushback from individuals about our message supporting the Ohio SAFE Act. They responded: “You’re welcome to have your own billboards.” Please show support below, and we’ll share your comments with them! Love this company. No nonsense.
Testimony that went unheard by the Health & Welfare Committee in Louisiana today chaired by
@LarryBagleyLA
. Thankfully,
@RepSchlegel
and
@AGJeffLandry
took time to listen. You must hear this testimony from a former “trans child,” who says “I was failed by modern medicine.”
Dress however you please.
Style your hair however you please.
Work or play however you please.
Call yourself whatever you please.
None of those things require a visit to a medical doctor.
No child’s body should receive implants, injections, and surgeries to conform to an idea.
We put up 3 billboards in Ohio asking if people know “someone who has been harmed by ‘gender medicine’” & to “protect children from experimental gender medicine.”
@TIME
has described it as “spreading disinformation.” How is that “disinformation”?
Three PEC volunteers are joining many other people heading to Anaheim CA for the

conference to raise awareness about the harms of the gender identity & invite pediatricians to commit to the principle of

and STOP participating in the gender industry.
A great night for a panel discussion! A large crowd of attendees, and guess what? No protesters. 💪🏼❤️ Our original venue cancelled our contract 48 hours ago, but that did not stop us. Four hours later, we had a new venue. There are good people who support our good work.
Thank you to our volunteer Jeannette Cooper testifying in favor of Ohio HB454 the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act that would stop the psychologically and physically harmful social and medical “transition” of children by the gender industry.
@CNN
Fixed your headline

: “High school students in Georgia were included Wednesday competing on sports teams consistent with their sex after the state’s high school association used a science-based new law to codify fairness.”

and all the parents who spoke today in favor of Ohio HB454. We took a giant step forward today and last week, and we could not do it without your support in person and online.
Irreversible Damage has irreversibly changed the way we discuss the issue of girls identifying as transgender. It reminds us that the "polite series of lies" many people tell is physically and psychologically harmful--we must say ENOUGH.

Hours of conversations with people of all ages was a wonderful way to spend the day with

@SouthernMethod
Lots of love and smiles and answering questions about what’s happening. We’re proud of all the curious questions and engagement on a complex topic.
An excellent event for
#LetWomenSpeakUSA
in NYC today. It was clear today that a handful of women are a powerful force, so powerful that we can bring out hundreds of people trying to drown out our voices. And all we did was stand there…and smile. Because we know we’re winning.
“My name is Chloe Cole, and I am from the Central Valley of California and a former transgender child patient. I am currently 17 years old and was medically transitioning from ages 13-16.”
We’re proud to announce our first event—and it’s a big one. Join us in Austin, TX on April 20, 2023 to learn from a panel of experts from around the world going step-by-step through the process of how Gender Inc Manufactures Trans Kids. Tickets:
“I would like to look 20 years younger, but I don’t expect Medicaid to pay for it.” Testimony from a white-haired grandmother supporting the proposed rule to stop Medicaid funds from being used for puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, & surgeries for gender dysphoria in Florida.
“I have irreversible changes, and I may face complications for the rest of my life. I was failed by modern medicine.” This is testimony from a former “trans child” given to officials in Louisiana in opposition to a “conversion therapy” ban that thankfully failed.
Thank you
@TuckerCarlson
for using your platform to expose the harms to children by the gender industry.
@BillboardChris
does excellent work having real conversations with everyday people about the dangers of using puberty blockers and wrong sex hormones on growing children.
In NY, Jeannette will be meeting a mom whose daughter’s mind is filled with the fog of gender ideology and body is now wheelchair bound due to testosterone. When children’s minds are imprisoned, we must break down the walls of the Gender Industry to liberate them.
We are so grateful for the opportunity to break bread with
@BillboardChris
tonight in Chicago. Together, one by one, each of us can topple the gender industry and the harm it’s doing to children. Talk to people about what’s happening. You can do it—and your voice is so important.
As we talk with people in and around the
@NCAASwimDive
Women’s Championships, they are clearly frustrated by the unfairness that’s happening inside the pool, but when we tell them about the social and medical transition of children, even very young children, they are shocked.
Heading to Nashville, Tennessee to meet
@OfficialAbelG
&
@detransaqua
and give testimony in support of SB0001 to stop the unethical treatment of children by medical/mental healthcare providers performing “gender identity affirmation” harm. Thank you for your support of our work!
“I have been getting blood clots in my urine and have an inability to fully empty my bladder. Because my reproductive system was still developing while I was on testosterone, the overall function of it is completely unknown.”
@billmaher
Listen to The Witness: True Stories of Children and Gender Identity. It's just some of the stories of families adversely affected by gender identity. This is a medical/psychosocial scandal happening right now. There are many thousands of families affected.
Happening today in Florida, we’re here to testify at a public hearing in favor of a Dept of Health proposed rule to prevent Medicaid from paying for medical changes for the psychological condition of gender dysphoria.
Thank you to David Mahan of
@CCVPolicy
for standing up for the mom using sex-based pronouns for her daughter when
@Liston4Ohio
attempted to intimidate her from her position of power. Mom did not back down: Rep. Liston: “Why are you not using he/him pronouns?” Mom: “She’s a girl.”
“I do not now use the term ‘detransition’ because, after seeing all of this research, I realized that nobody ever truly transitions, so nobody can detransition. I prefer to say that I got my real life back.” —Walt Heyer
Do you know someone who has been harmed by “gender medicine”? So do we. * LIVE BILLBOARD in Cincinnati near
@CincyChildrens
where director Dr. Lee Ann Conard offers, “medical care for transgender and gender-nonconforming youth from age 4 to their 25th birthday.”
Yesterday we received a $500 donation. The donor wrote, “I wholeheartedly support your work. The madness needs to stop.” This is one of the largest donations we’ve ever received. We are deeply grateful. This will help us move forward with a postcard campaign to therapists. 💪🏼❤️
A sex-change surgeon has unwittingly revealed the dangers of trans procedures, warning of poorly-trained doctors leaving patients with dead appendages and other “dreaded complications.”
Thank you Jeannette for holding the line and holding the sign: “We are the mothers, and we won’t back down.” Why are they so angry about a small group of women speaking? Because we’re telling the truth.
“I didn’t realize how traumatic the recovery would be, and it wasn’t until I was almost a year post-op, that I realized I may want to breastfeed my future children; I will never be able to do that as a mother.”
Thank you Alix Aharon, founder of
@GenderMapper
for your investigative work that will go down in history as a project that turned the tide against the gender industry.
“The only person who didn’t affirm me was the first endocrinologist I met. He refused to put me on blockers and expressed concerns for my cognitive development. However, it was easy to see another endocrinologist to get a prescription for blockers and testosterone.”
Thank you, Senator Kathleen Kauth for sponsoring a bill to protect Nebraska’s children from “gender medicine.” An Act to Let Them Grow (LB574). We’re proud to support it!
Gay teenagers who struggled with their sexuality share how they thought life would be better as a transgender person and underwent surgery — only to regret it later.
PEC will take a seat at any table at which we can speak about the harm of “gender identity.” We will claim our space to speak with confidence and compassion, without hesitation or hate. We do not shy away from uncomfortable situations; we know that we stand on the side of truth.
“When my parents asked about the efficacy of hormonal, surgical, and otherwise ‘affirming’ treatments in dysphoric children, their concerns were very quickly brushed aside by medical professionals. I didn’t even know detransitioners existed until I was one.”
We’re here with
@detransaqua
and
@OfficialAbelG
in Nashville supporting SB0001 being heard by the Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill would protect children from “gender medicine.” Your donations make it possible for this personal testimony to be heard. Thank you!
We don’t ask for much, but we need your help NOW to pass HB648 in Louisiana to protect children from “gender medicine.” Please email these 7 senators. Thank you

“The worst part about my transition would be the long-term health effects that I didn’t knowingly consent to at the time. I developed urinary tract issues during my transition that seem to have gotten worse since stopping testosterone.”
@ACLU
Thank you, Alabama. It is not a civil liberty to socially, psychologically, and physically harm children who are not capable of consenting to unethical “gender medicine.” Speaking of lawsuits, they’re coming
“Finding another endocrinologist to give me a prescription was like getting a getting a second opinion for any other medical concern. After only 2-3 appts with the 2nd endocrinologist, I was given consent forms for puberty blockers (Lupron) and androgens (Depo- Testosterone).”
Thank you to our sister

@BillboardChris
You’re making a difference. If your message was irrelevant, they would ignore you. They are doing rhe opposite, and they’re helping spread your message about why safeguarding children is important. Thank you, sir.
“The healthcare workers are trained to strictly follow the affirmative care system, even for child patients, in part because of California’s ‘conversion therapy’ ban. There was very little gatekeeping or other treatments suggested for my dysphoria.”
We are proud to stand with

#NoChildisBornintheWrongBody
I’m hanging out with Jeff Younger, whose son James is being forced to transition to a girl by Texas courts and his ex-wife.
We’re joined by 5 amazing ladies including some from Partners for Ethical Care, and about 30,000 tailgating college students from SMU in Dallas.
“Despite all these consultations and classes, I don’t feel like I understood all the ramifications that came with any of the medical decisions I was making.”
“And when feelings persist beyond the normal period of childhood, this mental distress should be met with therapy, not surgery. We must focus on changing society rather than changing our bodies.” 3/
Kentucky children will be protected from “gender affirmation” thanks to the hard work of Rep. Jennifer Decker, Luka Hein

Thank you, Utah legislature, for protecting female sports for women and girls by overriding a spineless veto by the governor. This is a marathon that we will win.
“In retrospect, the class inadvertently helped to affirm my decision because of the sense of community provided by seeing girls like me going through the same thing.”
“At the ‘top surgery’ class, I was immediately struck by how early some of them seemed in their transition and how some were much younger than I was; I was 15 at the time and had been transitioning for 3 years.”
Thank you to Jeannette Cooper of Partners for Ethical Care in the photo below standing up for fairness in sports for girls and women. Show up, stand up, speak up!

“I began blockers in February of 2018, and one month later, I received my first testosterone shot. I received Lupron shots for about a year. After two years on testosterone, I expressed to my therapist that I was seeking top surgery, or the removal of my breasts.”
Gov DeWine has sadly fallen for the suicide myth so clearly stated in our testimony in favor of HB68. The voices of Morgan, Richard, Prisha, Chloe, and Riley have been insistent, persistent, and consistent on the issue of protecting children from the gender industry, and we will…
The governor did not end the dialogue today. He joined it. I look forward to our discussions. There remains much more to say and do. A veto is not the final word. We still have e options.
#SAFEAct
#SaveWomensSports
#HB68
Read Ohio House Bill 454, the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act currently in committee. It’s clear, it’s clean, it’s simple: no more social and medical transition of children in Ohio, a Midwestern US state. We can get this passed, and you can help.
“I was recommended to another gender specialist, who then sent me to a gender-affirming surgeon. After my first consultation with the surgeon, my parents and I were encouraged to attend a ‘top surgery’ class, which had about 12 Female-to-Male (FTM) kids.”
“After I came out to my parents as a transgender boy at 12, I consulted a pediatric therapist in July of 2017 and was diagnosed with dysphoria by a ‘gender specialist’ the following month.”
We don’t ask for money unless we need it—we need it NOW. We have experts willing to testify in front of US state representatives to stop the social & medical harm of minors through gender identity affirmation, but we need to get them to the hearings. This costs money. We need it.

@votelandry
has watched the testimony on our Twitter thread of Chloe Cole, who has been harmed by the “conversion therapy” ban in her home state. Clearly children and families are distressed as witnessed in testimony last week, but the question is how to help them.
