I am excited to share the promotion for this new film by The Epoch Times. More and more people are figuring out that the trans movement is not just about acceptance and tolerance. Many powerful people are profiting and it is tearing families apart. This film focuses on how the transgender movement is harmful to so many families. I’m proud to a part of this project. When I saw the trailer for the first time, it brought me to tears:
In the clip, I’m talking about my experience as the mental health site director at Gunn High School in Palo Alto, California in 2015. The school-based counseling agencies (Adolescent Counseling Services and Project Outlet) I worked for decided to launch a secret LGBTQ group. None of the other adults knew the time or location of the group meetings, including school faculty. I was shamefully a part of this, believing kids needed to “explore their identity” without interference. This was before Kaitlyn Jenner was on the cover of Vanity Fair and before most people ever heard of a trans kid. It was also before it was normal to tell children they may be “born on the wrong body”, or even think of medicalizing children. However, I feel deep guilt for not seeing how wrong it was to have any kind of therapy group without parental permission. I was one of them; naive to believe I was a part of something good and helpful.
Ironically, the secret LGBTQ group wasn’t very successful because it was run by an untrained man with poor therapy skills and the self-selected kids required experienced guidance. I ended up complaining to my supervisor about the counselor’s lack of skills and the group eventually fizzed out due to lack of structure.
However, it wasn’t until five years later (in 2020) that I realized that all those rainbows, unicorns, and talk of love and acceptance were part of a darker agenda; to separate children from their family, to divide people, to break down individualism, to chip away at our freedom and weaken our society. It was the black squares and “mostly peaceful” riots after the death of George Floyd that woke me up to all of it. The curtain was lifted that June and since then, I see everything differently.
Fast forward to 2023, when it’s been reported that 1 in 4 kids identify as LGBT, and the number has more than doubled from 2015. (poll from 2021). We are inundated with rainbows and gender in every aspect of schools and every other institution. Drag shows for children are being held year round and there are countless children’s books telling kids how to be gay or trans. The internet and Hollywood are both major influences. It’s much easier to see that most feelings of “dysphoria” are a social contagion and there are plenty of incentives to identify as something other than straight.
The rainbow colored glasses are off now and I recognize that the seeds for this agenda had been planted for a long time. I can’t undo the past, however, I’m grateful to a part of a film today that is about the welfare of children and families. That is something I’ve always believed in.
The new docudrama will be released on June 19th, 2023 after being shown at the Manhattan Film Festival. Until then, you can see the first 10 minutes here.

Thank you for telling these stories. They need to be heard. God Bless You <3
Thanks for taking taking the blinders off, stepping across the line and joining the side, that is fighting for these kids. We need your voice and first hand experience, in what I call the - ideological meat grinder - especially where children are concerned. Glad to have you here!
