An activist whose job it is to help LGBTQ+ youth made a startling claim at a congressional hearing in mid-December.
CEO and Executive Director Jesse Pocock addressing the House Oversight and Reform Committee during a hearing on anti-LGBTQ+ violence Inside Out Youth Services of Colorado Springs, Colorado, responded to a question posed by Texas Republican Rep. Michael Cloud. Cloud asked Pocock if he could talk about the “phenomenon” of individuals who previously identified as transgender, but who later regretted it and detransverted.
Under oath, Pocock told Cloud: family member. ”

She added, “And I’ve never heard of a case of someone un-transitioning, so I honestly don’t think it’s real.
“Transgender Storytime for Kids” is hosted by Amber Briggle at her local Denton Bookstore, where Amber claims to have a 14-year-old transgender child. In response, protesters showed up at the event. Armed left-wing anarchists provided security on behalf of the bookshop. No violence occurred from either side.

Denying the reality that children, teens, and even adults change their minds about their identity is more than just ignorance. It’s dangerous. It advertises selling one-way tickets at a transgender assembly line that you can’t get off. Pocock was either dauntingly ignorant or knowingly lied when speaking under her oath, both conclusions undermining her qualifications to lead an organization that works with gender-confused youth in America. should immediately fail.
Contrary to Pocock’s claims, the stories and experiences of demigrants are painfully real.Consideration Prisha Mosley is a young woman who, in the midst of a well-documented mental health crisis, was forced by therapists and doctors to take testosterone and have her healthy breasts removed as a teenager. Mosley, now 24, is struggling to put his life back together. Mosley said of her experience that she identified as transgender, she said, “I feel like she literally killed a child. It was me.”
Then there’s Daisy Strongin, who as a kid was dedicated to being “transgender until the day she died.” Strongin wasn’t worried about preserving her fertility until she took testosterone, had “best surgery,” fell in love with a man, and realized nothing was more important than having children of her own. Lucky to be a mother, Strongin can’t breastfeed a boy.
“If you said two years ago in 2022 [I] Strongin said, “I never got married and got pregnant. I didn’t believe you.
Under oath, Pocock told Cloud: family member. ” She added, ”And I’ve never heard of a case of someone un-transitioning, so I honestly don’t think it’s real.
also think about Cat Cattinson, a semi-professional singer, was prescribed testosterone by Planned Parenthood after a 30-minute phone call. She realized that Cattinson, who identified as transgender, was all wrong when Schedule III controlled substances began to ruin her singing voice. She canceled her scheduled double mastectomy, withdrew her official name change, and went off her sex hormone cold turkey.
“I was in the echo chamber and realized that transgender activists had said really hurtful things that completely distorted my worldview, my gender and my biological sex,” said Cuttinson. rice field. “In the future, many demigrated children will feel angry and betrayed by their parents.”
This is just one example of the many converts who have fallen victim to gender ideological cults, documented in The Independent Women’s Forum’s “Identity Crisis” series. try (and, in Pocock’s case, try to obliterate). Reddit claims over 40,000 members. Among those who profit from the gender confusion of adolescents, there is little incentive to get an accurate count.
But without considering their many stories, or their mere existence, it is impossible to have an honest conversation about the risks of prescribing pubertal blockers, heterosexual hormones, and surgery to America’s gender-confused youth. Even established publications, including with Reuters The New York Times now confirms.
But activists want their kids to go down this path without their parents knowing.
“Do parents have a right? Should they be told what’s going on?” Rep. Cloud asked Pocock during the House Oversight hearing. “Do I have a right to know what is going on in my children’s lives?”
“When it comes to a parent’s right to know in school, here in Colorado, they don’t have that,” Pocock replied, adding:
“There are laws that provide that if a young person has questions about their gender or sexuality, they have the right to handle it with the help of a trusted counselor or similar.”

Rep. Cloud then asked about her work with 13-year-olds. She said, “So what do you think is the age of consent?”
Pocock replied, “In our community, the age of consent to mental health therapy is 12.”
Parents should be angry. In addition to the devastating experiences of detransitioners, a group of mothers also detail what happens when schools, therapists, and LGBTQ+ “experts” try to transition their children behind their backs. .
In one case, a mother in Washington State discovered that a local public school secretly admitted to being the man of her fifth-grade daughter. She later learned that a man, her daughter’s teacher, had asked her then 11-year-old daughter to sleep in her boy’s hut for the night.
Officials at another school in Alaska deliberately deceived the parents of a gender-confused 15-year-old girl, using her daughter’s birth name and feminine pronouns in official communications, and using her fictitious name and male gender identity behind closed doors. used pronouns.
“Kids want to please adults,” said Jennifer’s mother. “My daughter felt compelled to say yes.”
Jennifer’s daughter is no longer transgender.

Most children who suffer from gender confusion or gender dysphoria become comfortable with their sex during puberty. But today, parents and children are lied to by activists that affirmation to a transgender declaration is the only acceptable response.

In Europe, many countries have accepted this fact and ended the practice of medically transitioning children.
No wonder, perhaps, that activists in the United States have gone so far as to deny the existence of demigrants. But make no mistake, their voices are real. And they are getting bigger and bigger.
