WRITE: USE OUR LETTER TEMPLATES

 

WRITE YOUR LEGISLATORS

Download the Legislator Letter Template (Word doc)

 

Documents released as a result of the lawsuit challenging Alabama’s ban on sex-trait modification for minors exposed collusion between WPATH, HHS Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine, Johns Hopkins, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These communications show a cover up of the glaring lack of evidence of safety and efficacy for these interventions and a push from both the AAP and Admiral Levine to remove age limits in order to reduce the risk of lawsuits and political push-back.

  

Use our template letter to let your legislator know that it’s past time for a bipartisan commission to investigate this medical scandal and HHS’ involvement.

WRITE TO YOUR LOCAL GENDER CLINIC

Download the WPATH Files Letter Template (Word doc)

 

The WPATH Files have exposed the profound lack of ethics and poor medical practice within WPATH. Use our letter template to let U.S. gender clinics know that we're paying attention and that the days of hiding behind WPATH are over.

 

  

• Search online for the gender clinics in your state that post on their website that they adhere to the guidelines developed by WPATH. These statements will look something like this example from Oregon’s OHSU “Transgender Health Program”:

  

“OHSU providers follow World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care, Version 8.”

 

• Copy your local clinic’s WPATH statements and use them to customize our letter template (above). Mail or email your note to the clinical staff and hospital administrators.

WRITE TO JOURNALISTS WHO SPREAD MISINFORMATION

Download the Facts for Journalists Letter Template (Word doc)

 

Journalists in radio, print, and television news have utterly failed to do their jobs when it comes to reporting on gender (we're looking at you NPR, WaPo, and NYT). It's maddening to read articles that sound like a collection of repeated slogans rather than honorable investigative reporting.

​

Use our template letter to let these journalists know their false narrative and shoddy reporting aren't acceptable.

While this letter is for the DCCC, any of the various Democratic organizations seeking your donation and support for candidates need to hear this message, so customize it as needed. Let our Party officials know that their policies promoting gender ideology are unfounded, unethical, and unpopular.

WRITE TO THOSE ONCE REVERED ORGS AND USE THEIR OWN DONOR ENVELOPES

​

Remember the good old days, back before your favorite orgs branded you a right-wing, hate-filled bigot? You’d proudly slip a check into those donor envelopes that, along with their passionate, pleading letters, seemed to arrive every other day. Planned Parenthood, ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, Human Rights Campaign, and the Democratic Party all need our feedback about where they’ve got it wrong. So instead of sending their prepaid envelopes straight to the recycling bin, or placing an angry “take me off your mailing list!” call, put them to good use! Spread the word on biological reality and evidence-based medicine on their dime. Customize and print our letters or write your own and mail them in. Don’t forget to let them know where your donations are going now that they’ve decided that promoting the medical harm of young people is a winning strategy.

Some examples:

​

• The ACLU has discredited itself and its legacy through political partisanship and advocating for censorship. Your organization has replaced philosophical principles with political ideologies, and can no longer call itself a defender of free speech. Your own employees advocate publicly for book banning. Your website calls sex-trait modification for minors “medically necessary” but the ACLU is not a medical provider, scientist, or psychiatrist. To regain its integrity, the ACLU needs to go back to its roots — protecting first amendment rights.

  

• I understand that Planned Parenthood is the nation’s second largest provider of cross-sex hormones, and operates on the “informed-consent” model, putting the responsibility for understanding the full risks of harm on the patient — no full disclosure required. Your organization requires no physician referral and for those 18 or older, it can take as little as a short virtual session to get a prescription for hormones. Planned Parenthood also provides ideology-based sex-education training for high schools, with inaccurate and anti-science messaging. I’m not sure when Planned Parenthood stopped focusing on female reproductive healthcare, but I’m not interested in donating to an organization responsible for so much medical harm to young people. 

​

• DNC/DEM CANDIDATES: As a lifelong Democratic voter I can no longer support the party due to their stance on the harmful medicalization of gender-confused children; the wrongful hitching of the T to the LGB wagon; their lost grasp on biological reality. I cannot support the party’s anti-science movement that undermines the sex-based rights and safety of women.

​

• The SPLC advocates for the placement of violent male offenders in women’s prisons simply because they say they are female. This compromises the safety and dignity of women prisoners, puts all incarcerated women at risk, and denies biological reality. The SPLC has disgraced itself. Where is your due diligence regarding the known risks and poor evidence base for transing kids? Your organization makes false claims, calling exploratory therapy “conversion therapy,” and continues to promote unproven medical interventions for gender distressed youth.

​​

DON'T HANG UP

Receiving calls from any of the above? Resist the temptation to throw your phone at the wall! Instead, take these steps before using the above responses:  

1. Ask if the call is being recorded.

2. Explain that you’d like to help the organization understand why you will no longer be donating/contributing.

3. Tell the caller you’d be willing to continue the call if they agree to play the recording for their supervisory staff or to pass on your points.

4. Proceed to make your case. Be concise and polite. Stick to the facts.
    

AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION (ACLU) TALKING POINTS

• The ACLU has damaged its reputation and its legacy through political partisanship and advocating for censorship. 

• The organization has replaced philosophical principles with political ideologies, and can no longer call itself a defender of free speech. 

• Your own employee advocated publicly for book banning without any retraction from your organization, and your staff have engaged in illegal judge shopping. 

• The ACLU website calls sex-trait modification for minors “medically necessary” but the ACLU is not a medical provider nor does the latest evidence support this statement.

• The ACLU has filed multiple lawsuits allowing male prisoners convicted of rape and murder to transfer to women’s prisons if they claim a trans identity.

• The ACLU has filed multiple lawsuits to overturn state laws that ban sex-trait modification procedures for minors, despite there being no evidence that these medical interventions are safe or effective responses to gender distress. 

• To regain its integrity, the ACLU needs to go back to its roots — protecting first amendment rights.
   

PLANNED PARENTHOOD TALKING POINTS

• I understand that Planned Parenthood is the nation’s second largest provider of cross-sex hormones, and operates on the “informed-consent” model, putting the responsibility for understanding the full risks of harm on the patient.

• The organization requires no physician referral and for those 18 or older, it can take as little as a brief virtual session to get a prescription for opposite-sex hormones.

• These serious interventions have been proven to lack any evidence-base.

• Planned Parenthood’s ideology-based sex-education training includes inaccuracies that obscure biological reality. 

• Planned Parenthood has stopped focusing on female reproductive healthcare, and believes that men can become women and women can become men. I cannot trust an organization that doesn’t know what a woman is.

• I won’t donate to an organization that doesn’t support the sex-based rights of women and girls.
   

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE (DNC) TALKING POINTS

Despite being a lifelong Democratic voter, I am at the point of leaving the party because the DNC supports…/I cannot vote for any candidate who supports…

• Medicalization of gender-confused children.

• Prioritization of the feelings of men who claim a trans identity over the rights and safety of women.

• Housing male sex offenders and murderers in female prisons.

• The decimation of protections for women as a sex-class. The American electorate does not support the inclusion of the nebulous concept of “gender identity” under Title IX, but the Democratic party continues to push this change that undermines women’s rights.

 

SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER (SPLC) TALKING POINTS

• The SPLC advocates for the placement of male offenders —  many of them rapists and murderers — in women’s prisons simply because they say they are women. This compromises the safety and dignity of female prisoners and puts all incarcerated women as well as female prison guards at risk.

• The SPLC falsely claims that standard exploratory therapy is “conversion therapy” and continues to promote harmful, unproven medical interventions for gender-distressed youth.

• The SPLC wrongly portrays organizations advocating for evidence-based care for gender distressed youth as “hate groups.”

• The SPLC has been given an “F” rating by CharityWatch for hoarding its donations.

Genspect Petition - Working to Prohibit the Use of Puberty Blockers

Following the recent, shocking revelations in the WPATH Files, Director of Genspect U.S.A., Carrie D. Mendoza, MD started a Petition to Urge President Biden to Prohibit the Use of Puberty Blockers.

From the Change.org petition:

"England's National Health Care Service (NHS) has recently announced a ban on puberty blockers for children at England's NHS gender identity clinics. This decision was made due to concerns about their long-term effects and lack of substantial evidence supporting their safety. We believe that it is time for the United States to follow suit.

​

Puberty blockers are drugs that halt sexual development during adolescence. Their use in treating gender dysphoria in children is controversial due to health risks and ethical considerations."

​

Good Wardens

A coalition of parent-led safeguarding organizations, Good Wardens would like to see an end to the indoctrination and medicalization of children in the name of gender identity ideology. The lead signatories are parent-support and advocacy groups representing thousands of parents whose children are victims of WPATH’s unethical, unevidenced, guidance on the treatment of transgender ideation.
