“You never go full retard”
A Planned Parenthood doctor tries to lecture Matt Walsh on child gender identity and insists even babies understand gender.
Then he asked her about Santa Claus, and it was over.
MICHELLE FORCIER: “There’s research and data that show that babies and infants understand differences in gender. Some children figure out their gender really early...”
WALSH: “Have you ever met a 4-year-old who believes in Santa Claus?”
FORCIER: “Mhm.”
WALSH: “So, this is someone who believes that a fat man is traveling through the sky on a flying reindeer at lightning speed coming down his chimney with presents.”
FORCIER: “Yeah.”
WALSH: “Would you say that this is someone who maybe has a tenuous grasp on reality?”
FORCIER: “They have an appropriate 4-year-old handle on the reality that’s very real for them.”
WALSH: “Agreed. Agreed. But Santa Claus is real for them, but Santa Claus is not actually real.”
FORCIER: “Yeah, well, and but Santa Claus does deliver their Christmas presents.”
WALSH: “Well, yeah, but he’s not real, though.”
FORCIER: “To that child, they are.”
WALSH: “When I see a child who, you know, believes in Santa Claus, and then let’s say this is a boy and he says, ‘I’m a girl.’ This is someone who can’t distinguish between fantasy and reality, so how could you take that as a reality?”
FORCIER: “I would say that as a pediatrician and as a parent, I would say how wonderful my 4-year-old and their imagination is.”
Most 4-year-olds can’t even tie their shoes. We don’t let them cross the street alone, pick their bedtime, or choose what’s for dinner. But she thinks they’re mature enough to decide they’re “in the wrong body.”
The most terrifying part about this lady is that she’s also an Assistant Dean of Admissions at Brown University.
She’s not just affirming fantasy as reality in her own practice. She’s helping hand-pick the next generation of doctors — ones who think just like her.
Yesterday was a sobering day for me. I was reflecting on Charlie’s life much of the day while I was in the clinic seeing patients.
What I witnessed yesterday may have been the most evil thing a patient has ever said in my presence.
Let me lay the context:
76 year old white male presenting to establish care. He tells me I take care of some of his family members and he has heard good things.
He then complains about insurance companies for about 5 minutes and his struggle to get his glargine insulin. He discusses greed and hate for insurance companies.
After 5 minutes, I politely say, “We have a lot to get through today, and I can’t fix the insurance thing.”
He responds with glee in his voice, “Well that man in New York who murdered that CEO tried to fix things.”
I responded, “You mean the man who murdered a father of two little children? You believe he was trying to fix the insurance thing that way?”
The old man’s tone changed. He was called out. Nonetheless, the mask had slipped, his true colors were exposed.
The old man sees the murder justified as a way to fight and bring down the system. He doesn’t see a father, a husband, a son.
He sees himself as virtuous, yet he can’t see the evil in his heart that he has welcomed and has consumed him.
That was a very hard visit for me to sit through. I was uncomfortable and I tried my best to maintain my composure. It saddens me so many are filled with so much hate.
It reminded me of all those who celebrated Charlie’s death. It’s a spiritual war we are facing, and one I hope we prevail in.
I was in Iceland one year ago today when I found out about Charlie. I didn’t sleep that night.
Over the years prior to that I had listened more and more to a man who, with patience and love, walked into the lion’s den and showed grace to others.
“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
Charlie knew this, and it was his poise and ability to dismantle other worldviews that placed him in danger.
I think about him daily, and he inspires me to be a better man, husband, father, and follower of Christ. An honorable man.
Thank you for your service brother. My prayers are with you and your family.

Callan Clancy was only 8 months old.
On January 24, 2023, his mother strangled him and his two siblings with exercise bands. Cora, 5, and Dawson, 3, died that night.
But Callan survived long enough to be taken to the hospital.
He arrived at the Plymouth ER in cardiac arrest. Doctors fought to save him. They gave him epinephrine, restarted his heart, intubated him, continued CPR, and flew him to Boston Children’s Hospital.
His heart was beating, but his brain had suffered catastrophic damage.
His Glasgow Coma Scale score remained a 3, the lowest possible score. His pupils were fixed and dilated. There was massive swelling in his brain from oxygen deprivation. Ligature marks remained around his neck.
Doctors performed the brain death protocol twice, 24 hours apart.
Callan never breathed on his own.
He never responded.
On January 27, after his father was consulted, life support was withdrawn. Callan was pronounced dead at 11:18 a.m.
His heart continued beating for three days.
His brain never recovered.
Callan was 8 months old.
That is why there was a third murder charge.
Three days on machines. Three days while doctors fought for a baby who never got another chance.

I have delivered over 5,000 babies, and here’s a truth I will always stand by: Abortion is NOT healthcare!

This sweet baby was born premature at 24 weeks
In some states, you can abort a child at this age for any reason
He is not a “clump of cells”
He is not a “parasite”
He is not a “burden”

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital.
Cette phrase change tout.
L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ?
Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible.
Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur.
Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé.
Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire.
L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants.
Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution.
Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain.
Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée.
Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien.
La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose.
Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins.
Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires.
La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged by the Nazis on April 9, 1945 at the Flossenbürg concentration camp.
A camp doctor who was there gave this eyewitness account:
“On the morning of that day between five and six o’clock the prisoners, including Admiral Canaris, General Oster and state attorney Dr. Sack were taken from their cells and the verdicts of the court martial read out to them. Through the half-open door in one room of the huts, I saw Pastor Bonhoeffer, before taking off his prison garb, kneeling on the floor praying fervently to his God. I was most deeply moved by the way this lovable man prayed, so devout and so certain that God heard his prayer. At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer, and then climbed the steps to the gallows, brave and composed. His death ensued after a few seconds. In the almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God.”
Bonhoeffer's last recorded words: "This is the end—for me the beginning of life."

"Bottom line, the Finland study is a huge deal, and illustrates what any reasonable doctor or adult should have expected already.
"But there was NEVER evidence for these interventions. It was always activism."
A recent study out of Finland, a European country not within golf cart distance of Mar-A-Lago, looks like it should spell the end for pediatric sex trait modification.
But it won’t.
1. Courts admit experts, they don’t referee studies. In the Blue State Hermit Nations, you can’t find a psychiatrist as an expert witness to save a kid from a crazy ex. Yes, SCOTUS just legalized good psychiatrists with the @ADFLegal win in Chiles v. Salazar, but now Colorado seeks to ruin sane doctors with lawsuits instead of pulling their licenses. The main experts (in Blue states) will remain AAP and @wpath.
2. Legislatively, the Blue State Hermit Nations will continue ignoring reality, because they are in a room with walls padded by heavily-financed activists like @ACLU and @LambdaLegal. The rule of legislators: if they won’t lose their seat, they won’t change.
3. The most important dynamic remains the @HJoyceGender Joyce Effect. When parents have done the unthinkable—and legislators and doctors have doubled down—there’s no human way to admit that and retain one’s ego and sanity.
Bottom line, the Finland study is a huge deal, and illustrates what any reasonable doctor or adult should have expected already.
But there was NEVER evidence for these interventions. It was always activism. (@dreddiewaldrep).
Ending this barbaric tragedy requires political and legal force. The massive majority of Americans in favor of ending it, need to get comfortable enforcing basic definitions of reality with legal force.
If we don’t end this quickly, 96% of medical students and the growing number of (Joyce Effect) involved parties will be too great to reverse. “Woke” ain’t dead. Time is ticking.
Well said. You've shown remarkable courage throughout all this. Thank you for lending your voice to this cause. I dare wonder where we'd be without your attention to this matter…
This shift in attitudes shown below isn't because of increased intolerance, but of an increase in understanding, and trans activists themselves bear the greatest responsibility for the change.
Five years ago, a lot of medical bodies (and trans activist organisations, lobby groups and virtue-signalling celebrities) were united in telling us that puberty blockers were completely reversible and harmless. As more and more evidence accrues showing actual and potential harm, public opinion, unlike trans activism, has shifted in line with the data.
Five years ago, the sophisticated, fashionable line was that sex difference didn't really matter in sport. Trans activists demanded that the women's category be destroyed to accommodate men who claim to be female, but the public wasn't willing to pretend they couldn't see the injustice right in front of their faces.
Five years ago, trans activists and professional lanyard- wearers were chiding us all to use preferred pronouns, because that was kind. Now the public see convicted rapists described as 'she' and 'her' by news outlets and are rightly enraged that journalists are feeding us ideological fiction instead of facts.
Five years ago, a lot of people, especially older ones, were under the impression that trans-identified men had all had full sex reassignment surgery and were sexually orientated towards other men. They didn't know that cross-dressing straight men were now asserting the right to enter all women's reserved spaces. They didn't know how few trans women have had 'bottom surgery.' They know now.
Trans activists are to blame for the hounding and persecution of non-believers, which has spilled into British courts. Women have had to fight all over again for rights they thought they'd have forever. The Cass Review brought shame on all who lobbied to continue a broadly unresearched and unevidenced medical experiment on minors. Trust in institutions, in academia, the media and the medical profession has been severely undermined. Politicians have beclowned themselves, willing to parrot self-contradictory slogans and outright absurdities rather than defend truth and freedom of speech.
The stark change in attitudes over the past five years is the direct consequence of the way trans activists set out to 'educate' us all. Giddy with the power they'd been handed by people in authority, they've tried to impose a quasi-religious, elitist, minority belief upon the whole of society. They can't complain (although, of course, they will) that the public has decided it doesn't want to buy what they're selling.
For any anxious patient of mine who is willing to listen to the word, this is the scripture I point them to.
Beautiful message…

Imagine being trapped for days under a heavy log in freezing mud, only for a stranger in a canoe to appear out of nowhere. 🚣♂️ 🐕
While paddling solo across Canada, adventurer Tom Hudson took a chance route around a remote island on the Saskatchewan River. That decision saved a life. He heard faint whimpering and found Ivy, a 14-year-old Great Pyrenees, pinned under a log and partially submerged.
Exhausted and unable to move her hind legs, Ivy had been missing for days. Tom waded through thick mud, freed her from the debris, and carried the weak dog to his canoe. He later tracked down her owners, Tom and Janine Stait, who had been searching for her daily. Thanks to a miracle, Ivy was reunited with her family just in time! ✨

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
