Summary Report on “Gender Identity” Indoctrination in the Schools
Millions of children across the United States are being systematically indoctrinated by their schools into the regressive ideology that everyone has a “gender identity.” The indoctrination starts in the earliest school years. It’s happening in red and blue states, big city and small town schools. Children are inundated by gender identity ideology from all sides, over and over again, as though “gender identity” were real, and as though it is more important than the material reality of biological sex.
Women’s Declaration International USA’s FOIA Team has acquired this archive of materials from an array of American schools that provide a chilling glimpse into what is being taught to young impressionable minds. It includes materials collected through the efforts of numerous individuals including WDI USA volunteers who filed Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests with local school districts, as well as materials obtained through other research.
As alarming as this already is, things are rapidly getting worse. The Biden Administration has issued Executive Orders and memos that punish schools if they resist pushing gender identity ideology on children, teachers, and other staff. For example, the Department of Education threatens to withdraw funding from schools if they refuse to interpret sex to include “gender identity.” The Department of Agriculture threatens to withdraw funding for school lunch programs. Some states have also enacted legislation that enshrines “gender identity” in law at the state level.

February 13, 2023 - Teen girls ‘engulfed’ in violence and trauma, CDC finds
Teen girls across the United States are “engulfed in a growing wave of violence and trauma,” according to federal researchers who released data Monday showing increases in rape and sexual violence, as well as record levels of feeling sad or hopeless. Almost 15 percent of teen girls said they were forced to have sex, an increase of 27 percent over two years and the first increase since the CDC began tracking it. If you think about every 10 teen girls that you know, at least one and possibly more has been raped, and that is the highest level we’ve ever seen,” said Kathleen Ethier, director of the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health, who said the rise of sexual violence almost certainly contributed to the glaring spike of depressive symptoms. “We are really alarmed,” she said.

February 14, 2023 - Tavistock clinic ‘ignored’ link between autism and transgender children
Staff so determined to push pro-trans policy patients were treated as ‘collateral damage’ it is alleged
The Tavistock clinic ignored evidence that 97.5 percent of children seeking sex changes had autism, depression or other problems that might have explained their unhappiness, a new book claims. Staff at the NHS facility were so determined to push a pro-transgender policy that children who might not have been trans were treated as “collateral damage” by clinicians who labelled doubters “transphobic”, a whistleblower says. Seven in ten children had more than five “associated features” such as abuse, anxiety, eating disorders or bullying, and a social worker estimated that as few as 1 in 50 children treated at the clinic would have stayed transgender for life if they had not been given controversial drug therapy.

February 12, 2023 - Wyoming Republicans are criticizing a child marriage bill that seeks to raise the legal age to 18. It's sponsored by one of their own party members.
The Wyoming Republican Party criticized a bill that seeks to implement a minimum age requirement for marriage. The legislation would raise the state's legal marriage age to 18 years old. There is an exception carved for 16 and 17-year-olds provided they receive consent from a parent or guardian. Those opposed to the bill are of the strong opinion that marriage preserves a child’s right to be raised with their FATHER and mother under the same roof. So they seek to continue to reinforce a man’s right to marry a child who will have no choice but to mother his children.
February 12, 2023 - The ‘holy f***’ moment I knew something was wrong at the Tavistock
How Dr Anna Hutchinson, one of the whistleblowers, realised something was very wrong
Dr. Anna Hutchinson, a senior clinical psychologist at Gids and part of the senior team, joined the clinic at the start of 2013 with significant experience from a number of London’s leading hospitals, including Great Ormond Street Hospital. By late 2014 Gids’s activity was “increasing faster than staffing”. The numbers had exploded, and piles of referrals sat on Hutchinson’s desk for processing. “These piles were ever-present and growing,” she says. “Literally one week to the next, the pile would double. And I remember the first month where we had 100: it was phenomenal. Something was happening.”
“There were no referral criteria … We were accepting everyone,” she says. Moreover, the majority were girls whose gender-related distress had begun after the onset of puberty. And these people had complex needs. Many were self-harming; others were housebound with anxiety; some older adolescents were engaging in risky sexual behaviours. A number came from abusive families, or were living in care.

The attorney general said a multi-agency investigation was launched following “disturbing allegations” by a former case manager at the St. Louis facility.
“We have received disturbing allegations that individuals at the Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital have been harming hundreds of children each year, including by using experimental drugs on them,” state Attorney General Andrew Bailey said in a statement. “We take this evidence seriously and are thoroughly investigating to make sure children are not harmed by individuals who may be more concerned with a radical social agenda than the health of children.”

Feb 10, 2023 - Sturgeon is imploding – as is her extreme agenda

In a victory not just for common sense but for women’s safety, the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) confirmed that all newly convicted transgender prisoners will initially be placed in a jail based on their birth sex until a wider review is completed.
