The number of trans-identifying youth has nearly doubled in the last five years, with more than 300,000 children ages 13 to 17 identifying as a gender different from their biological sex. Stories of these individuals have been spoon-fed to the public in cheerful, triumphant tones, applauding the idea of children changing their gender.
Yet these only tell part of the story about the phenomenon of youth flocking to trans identities. Earlier this year, we invested in a multi-part short documentary series featuring the real and honest stories of mothers whose daughters fell victim to gender ideology and of young women who made irreversible changes to their bodies, only to regret it a short time later.
The often-traumatic tales run contrary to the popular “affirmation” model being pushed by influential organizations and figures. But, with each documentary we’ve released, Big Tech has censored our stories. Independent Women’s Forum was slapped with unwarranted roadblocks—with excuses ranging from the depiction of “sensitive events” and “health safety” to “privacy,” “hatred,” “intolerance,” and “discrimination” for opening the door to another narrative.
We need YOUR help to share these stories. Will you invest in the cause?

"It is the height of hypocrisy for those who claim to be feminists, for the Democratic Party, who claims to be champions for women over decades, fighting for the rights of women, fighting for equality, fighting for that level and fair playing field across our society. It is the height of hypocrisy for these very same people to deny that there is such a thing as a woman."

Woke activists have efficiently and effectively advanced their agenda by replicating policies that reflect and enforce their values in school districts across the country. For example, in many states, schools secretly socially transition students and keep a child’s preferred name, pronouns, and gender identity from parents.
Right now, Virginia is taking bold steps to revise those policies. If the revised model policies garner enough public support they will serve as a model for parents and policymakers nationwide to reclaim their schools and protect their students.
Comments across the country are pouring in, making this ground zero for public schools.

The Supreme Court last week granted certiorari in a case that asks if a company can sue a union in state court for intentionally destroying its property in the course of a labor dispute or whether the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) impliedly preempts any such claim. The Huffington Post was already decrying how this case “could weaken unions’ ability to strike.”
