Besides the harm the transgender ideology does to individuals, leaving boys being less than boys and girls less than girls after "treatment," the lost families and lives, the multiple mass killers that have come from that lifestyle, there is a "threat" to public safety, and "as such, it should be outlawed and eradicated from public life."
That's according to an article by John Daniel Davidson, a book author and writer whose work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Claremont Review of Books, the New York Post and more.
He's now the senior editor at the Federalist, and has delivered an expert opinion on the leftist agenda being pursued across America, despite the opposition from President Donald Trump.
"We don't have to tolerate a demonic ideology that destroys lives, tears families apart, and keeps producing mass shooters," he concluded.
The comments follow by just days the most recent of a long list of trans-identifying individuals who have turned into mass killers, the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis.
"It should be obvious by now that transgenderism — the entire industrial complex of medical interventions, legal actions, social affirmation, and political rhetoric now attached to what was once called gender dysphoria — is a serious threat to public safety," he wrote.
Individuals are not his target, he said.
"But the gender ideology that affirms them in their delusion should be. Men and women suffering from this cruel delusion should have our compassion, and every effort should be made to bring them back to the reality of their biological sex. Public policy, however, should focus on the ideology of transgenderism and those who perpetrate it. We should treat it the way we treated radical Islamism after 9/11, or communism in the 1950s. It should be understood as a dangerous threat, and anyone advocating or working to advance it should be treated as a criminal and an enemy of the people."
Elon Musk recently noted the "relentless propaganda" in the issue.
And on social media, the Libs of TikTok turned blunt, with "Doctors who m*tilated and castrated kids deserve LIFE IN PRISON. Straight up evil."
Davidson explained, those in the medical community promoting "gender-affirming care" should have their medical licenses revoked "and face criminal prosecution."
There should be no difference in the prosecutions of those to provide such "treatments" to adults, or children.
"We would never consent to a physician being allowed to indulge an adult patient's disordered desire to have a healthy limb amputated or a functioning organ removed simply because they 'identified' as someone without that limb or organ," he explained.
"We recognize there is something deeply pathological about wanting a healthy limb chopped off or a functioning organ removed. We recognize, too, that any physician who agreed to do such a thing isn't fit to practice medicine and should be barred from doing so.
"The normalization of transgenderism harms a great many people — especially children, who don't have the ability to protect themselves from it the way adults do," he said.
Parents who "facilitate" such treatments for their children "should be treated as child abusers and dealt with accordingly."
"Same goes for teachers, coaches, and any other adult who has regular contact with and responsibility for minors," he said.
At the federal level, the president could tell the Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services to write rules barring those body mutilations, then investigate and prosecute medical facilities and doctors that provide such.
Politicians on the trans bandwagon should see their locales defunded by the federal government, he said.
"As far as possible, the entire demonic system should be swept away — and we shouldn't have to wait for the next trans mass shooting to say so," he said.

Rosie O'Donnell is now apologizing for falsely claiming last week's shooter at the Catholic school in Minneapolis was a "Republican, MAGA person" and "white supremacist."
Her original video in the wake of the horror at the Annunciation Catholic Church and School that killed two children and wounded 18 others has the actress stating: "Saw about the Minnesota shooting, and it brought me right back to Columbine in 1999 when I just could not get it through my head that students in America were shooting each other in schools," she asserted on TikTok.
"This was a church inside a Catholic school. And what do you know? This was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person, what do you know? White supremacist."
Now the fierce critic of President Donald Trump is admitting she "messed up" and did not do her "due diligence."
"I know a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days," O'Donnell began.
"I didn't go online and haven't seen them 'til today, but you are right. I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect."
"I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard M.O. and had standard, you know, feelings of … you know, NRA loving kind of gun people," O'Donnell continued.
"Anyway, the truth is, I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up. I'm sorry, this is my apology video, and I hope it's enough."
In reality, the shooter has been identified as Robert Westman, a transgender who legally changed his name to Robin Westman in 2017 with the support of his mother.
He was not a Trump-supporting MAGA person, as one of the messages on the magazine of his gun stated, "Kill Donald Trump."
O'Donnell is now living in Ireland, having fled the U.S. due to her loathing of President Trump.

A coalition of business owners and others is calling on the city council in Philadelphia to back away from its planned curfew scheme – a move that would, in fact, order businesses to shut down just when their customers are needing services and products.
It is the Institute for Justice that is working with those owners and other grassroots activists to call to abandon the change, which apparently was intended to address the city's surging crime problem.
Chef José Luis, owner of Alta Cocina Food Truck in Juniata and Alta Cocina Restaurant in West Kensington, and Mitesh Patel, owner of The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Kensington, teamed up with IJ to take the action.
"Crime is a serious issue and the city must act to address it, but this ordinance as it is currently constructed would do little to combat crime while having a serious negative impact on Philly's small businesses," said Jennifer McDonald, of the IJ, "We're calling on city officials to recall this ordinance, get feedback from communities that will be impacted, and come up with a new proposal that won't harm honest businesspeople."
The curfew plan was created in June and insists that there is an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew on businesses that sell goods to customers in the 7th, 8th, and parts of the 1st city council districts.
Exempted are restaurants with liquor licenses, gas stations, or those serving exclusively from a drive-thru window. However, convenience stores, takeout restaurants, mobile vendors, and others would be forced to close during these hours, under the threat of $1,000 fines.
Luis explained those hours are the time period when his business makes "a little money."
Philadelphia already has more narrowly targeted curfews in place elsewhere in the city. This bill would expand the city's existing business curfew coverage by more than 500%. It would also deprive the 13% of the city's workforce who work nighttime jobs of the ability to pick up food, coffee, medication and other essentials after they get off work, the IJ documented.
Police officials there already have warned the curfew likely would result "in inconsistent or uneven enforcement."

A lawsuit has prompted officials in Asheville, North Carolina, to abandon their race requirements for city commission appointments.
A report from the Pacific Legal Foundation said the city council has voted to eliminate "race-based membership preferences" for its Human Relations Commission.
The change is part of a settlement of a lawsuit over the disputed practice.
"Government has a constitutional duty to treat all people equally under the law," said Andrew Quinio, an attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation who represents the residents. "Asheville should treat its citizens based on their character, qualifications, and achievements, not on characteristics they cannot control like race or ethnicity."
It was John Miall, a lifelong resident of the city who spent nearly 30 years working for the city including as its director of risk management, who had applied to serve on the Human Relations Commission of Asheville in 2023.
He was passed over because he was the wrong race.
Eventually, following the filing of the lawsuit, the city did appoint him to the board, but five other qualified residents – Robyn Hite, David Shaw, Willa Grant, Danie Johnson, and David Evans – faced the same discrimination for the same reason.
The case charged that the city was in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
Under the consent decree, filed Friday, Asheville must ensure equal opportunity on the commission by administering appointments without regard to race, ethnicity, color, or national origin. The city must also publicly state that appointment to the commission is open to all qualified applicants regardless of race.
The PLF documented that Miall had retired from the city government in 2006 but continued to work as a private sector consultant. He already had been chairman of Asheville's Civil Service Board and a candidate for city council and mayor.
The Human Relations Commission was created in 2018, and Miall "felt his decades of municipal experience and a boundless desire to serve his community would be a natural fit for the commission. Nevertheless, when John applied for one of the vacant seats in early 2023, the city council rejected his application—because of his race," PLF reported.
The original commission board was set up with quotas for the 15 members, including specific requirements for those who are "African Americans, Latinx, LGBTQ members, 'professionals with influence,' youth members, a representative from each of the city's geographical areas, public housing residents, and individuals with disabilities."
The board later was cut to nine members, and while the city ended the "quotas," it inserted "race-based membership preferences."
The PLF explained in bringing the complaint, "No government commission or committee should use an individual's race or ethnicity to determine who gets the opportunity to serve their public. Treating people according to immutable characteristics like race violates the very notion of equality before the law. People should be treated as individuals, not as members of a group they did not choose."

Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville has unleashed a screed against his own party.
But an analysis says while leftist politicians would benefit by listening, they probably won't.
Reacting to a Democrat meeting that claimed to recognize the "stolen land" on which Minneapolis sits, stolen from Native Americans of course, Carville ranted, "Lady, you're right, what we did to the Native Americans has really been well documented. It is a sad part of our nation's history. [But] why Why are you bringing this up in an election!? This is an election, and the DNC is not the place to discuss this. Understand this, the DNC does not exist to right wrongs. It doesn't exist to acknowledge the more unpleasant parts of history. It doesn't exist to make people feel good. It exists — just get it through your head —to win elections."
Listen to the vitriolic, sometimes foul, often offensive, Carville:
A commentary at RedState explained, "Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville is an interesting guy. Furthermore, the older the architect of Bill Clinton's victorious 1992 presidential campaign gets, the more interesting he becomes.
"I mean, I don't know if I view James as 'a man I love to hate,' or 'a man I hate to love' — just kidding, both counts — but I do know this: In today's crazed world of Democrat politics, the wayward party would do itself a favor if it listened more to Mr. Carville, which I'm more than confident it won't do."
The commentary said Carville's "latest" rebuke follows the complaining of "indigenous queer woman" Lindy Sowmick, of Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, who insisted on honoring the "Dakota Oyate."
It explained, "Carville absolutely went off on his party for seemingly failing to learn from both its beatdown in the 2024 general election and its ongoing string of defeats at the hands of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. "
Carville being "spot on" involved pointing how "your out-of-touch Democrat Party has intentionally moved away from mainstream America, including millions of former Democrat voters who've grown tired of the nonsensical (mis)focus of your Trump-obsessed party."

A quick-thinking man in Cape Coral, Florida, dressed in his favorite Batman pajamas, sprung into action early Wednesday morning to detain a neighborhood burglary suspect.
As the Gateway Pundit reports, Kyle Myvett was alerted to the burglar by his home security cameras before confronting and detaining the intruder. He credited his pajamas for giving him the confidence boost he needed to grab the suspect.
The incident began when Myvett noticed his cameras showing someone breaking into his truck. Still wearing his Batman pajamas, he rushed outside and confronted the suspect, identified as Justin Schimpl, who was rummaging through the vehicle.
Myvett then tracked Schimpl to a neighbor's garage, where he grabbed hold of the burglar's shirt and wrist, warning him not to resist.
The Cape Coral Police Department wrote on Facebook:
On August 27, 2025, at 2:03 AM, Cape Coral Police officers responded to a burglary in progress at a home in Southeast Cape Coral.
When officers arrived, they found the suspect already detained – by a neighbor wearing Batman pajamas.
The neighbor, Kyle Myvett, told detectives he had gone to bed when his home security cameras alerted him to someone breaking into his vehicle. Still dressed in his Batman pajamas, Kyle went outside to investigate and saw the suspect rummaging through his truck. Moments later, he found the same suspect in his neighbor's garage and detained him until officers arrived.
Thanks to a quick-thinking neighbor in his Batman pajamas, another burglary suspect was put behind bars
"Without the person seeing me, I grabbed a hold of their shirt and right wrist and told him, listen, don't try to get away, I have plenty of experience with this," Myvett told local station Fox 4.
Myvett previously worked in corrections.
"I'm really glad I had my Batman pajamas on because that gave me the extra confidence I needed," Myvett added.

A new report from Substack author Jon Fleetwood, of JonFleetwood,com, charges that a "macabre" project funded by Bill Gates, "chemically embalms newborn corpses for weeks to harvest tissues for AI, forensics, and global surveillance."
The study was called "Exploring minimially invasive tissue sampling as an alternative to conventional autopsy in neonatal deaths," and appeared just days ago in "Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology."
The Substack report explained the embalming and preservation was done on dead newborns "so their organs could be harvested, catalogued, and standardized into databases tied to artificial intelligence, forensic investigations, and global mortality surveillance programs."
The author explained, "The new study comes after Gates financed the 'Baby Open Brains' project, where researchers at the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain released MRI scans of infants as young as one month old into global AI databases to build the backbone for a nationwide government brain-tracking program."
The report warned the new program followed a Gates-funded tuberculosis vaccine trial in South Africa that left 260 previously healthy children infected with TB.
It also accused Gates of backing gain-of-function schemes, those research projects in which scientists take a deadly disease and work to make it deadlier, or more infectious.
The report charged:
The new Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology study recruited 100 dead infants from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India. According to the authors, 'The neonates were recruited from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Department of Pediatrics. CDA and MITS were conducted at the Centre for Foetal and Perinatal Pathology, Department of Pathology, after obtaining written informed consent from parents/guardians.'
Stillbirths, macerated babies (stillborn infants whose bodies had already decomposed in the womb), and fetuses were excluded. These were live-born infants, mostly premature and extremely low-birth weight, who died shortly after delivery.
The report said that instead of traditional autopsies, researchers used biopsy needles to pierce the brain, lungs, liver and more, for study.
The bodies were injected with formalin for preservative.
"In plain terms, newborn corpses were chemically embalmed for up to two months while researchers harvested their tissues," the report said.
Despite the study's own documentation of failures, the assessment was that the technique was "feasible."
A report at LifeNews said, "The initiative … could spark outrage among those who view it as a disturbing exploitation of vulnerable lives."
"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a gruesome study that involves embalming dead babies with plastic to harvest their tissues for AI forensics and surveillance," warned Modernity.
LifeNews added, "The Gates Foundation's involvement is seen as particularly troubling given its history of funding abortion."

You just can't stereotype California. In a state known derogatorily as the land of "fruits and nuts," where anti-Christian agendas are common, where faith often is considered a defect, one school district has gone into court to restore opening prayer to its board meetings.
Joel Oster, of Advocates For Faith & Freedom, said in an interview with CBN that the dispute centers around the Chino Valley Unified School District.
It believes an injunction from the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals barring those invocations is wrong.
And the ban should be removed, the case argues.
"About 10 years ago, a lawsuit was filed against Chino Valley claiming that their practice of opening up a school board meeting with prayer violated the Establishment Clause, and the Ninth Circuit agreed and entered an injunction, and they based that injunction on what is called the Lemon Test," the lawyer explained in the report.
However, that "Lemon test" standard later was abandoned, in the Joe Kennedy case, by the Supreme Court.
"The Supreme Court has now overturned the Lemon Test and said it's not good law. It doesn't respect how the Establishment Clause should be enforced [and] should be interpreted," Oster explained.
That provides the foundation for the Chino Valley's argument that the 9th Circuit's old decision was wrongfully decided, and it should be thrown out.
The CBN report explained why he believes it's permissible to begin school board meetings with prayer, noting it all comes down to history and legality.
"Prayer before school board meetings … is something that has been going on in our nation's history since before the Constitution was even drafted," he said. "And prayer has … been used to start deliberative bodies for centuries. There's been a congressional prayer …for as long as there's been a Congress."
And, he noted, it's just wrong to tell religious people they're "not welcome."
"Whenever you do open up a deliberative session with a prayer, it just helps to bring solemnity," Oster said in the CBN report. "It helps to bring wisdom to an event, helps to focus people on the task at hand, and, so, for that reason, the Supreme Court has said that prayers are allowed, they are constitutional to open up deliberative body sessions."
He said he believes Chino Valley will succeed, and courts will see that opening prayers are not a constitutional violation.

License-plate reader technology was around long before artificial intelligence. But critics warn that it provides a foreshadowing of some of the dangers that could be coming.
It is the Institute for Justice that now has announced a nationwide campaign to push back against the "arbitrary and unrestrained" use of the cameras used in that tech.
Already, there are cameras across thousands of American communities, but there are major concerns about violations of the U.S. Constitution.
"The Fourth Amendment problems with this unregulated mass surveillance are only getting worse as communities around the country begin using ALPRs or expand their existing surveillance networks," said IJ lawyer Michael Soyfer. "Nationwide, police are now using ALPR cameras to track the locations and movements of countless law-abiding people who have never been suspected of any crime."
The campaign, called The Plate Private Project, will combine IJ's litigation, legislation, activism, and media capabilities regarding the warrantless search industry.
Private companies benefit from the campaigns to monitor all of a city's citizenry, getting paid for cameras, monitoring, recording, and more.
Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions, PlateSmart and others are involved.
"Unlike red-light cameras or speed cameras that are triggered by specific violations, these cameras photograph every vehicle that drives by and can use artificial intelligence to create a profile with identifying information that then gets stored in a massive database," the IJ explained.
"Once that happens, officials can search the database for any vehicle they wish, all without a warrant."
The results can reveal in an individual goes to a hospital or church, a gunshop or a friend, and how often.
"Departments around the country are automatically sharing data with each other, making it simple for police anywhere to track drivers' movements," the warning said.
"All of this arbitrary discretion threatens people's privacy, security, and freedom of movement by creating an atmosphere where everyone knows they are being watched and tracked whenever they hit the road. "
Joshua Windham, IJ lawyer, added, "Because police don't need to obtain a warrant before searching these databases, they can search for nefarious reasons or no reason at all. As currently used, these cameras are ripe for abuse."
Already, reports have included police using the cameras to stalk former girlfriends, sharing data with federal investigators, and providing bogus justifications for data hunts.
The IJ said its project "will propose model legislation in state legislatures to protect against warrantless ALPR surveillance, partner with local grassroots activists to help them resist the use of these cameras in their communities, and continue fighting in the courts to strengthen the Fourth Amendment's protections against this new form of warrantless surveillance."
Further, it will provide details to people who want to learn about the spying that goes on in their own communities.
Already, one judge has ruled in an IJ case that the use of more than 170 Flock Safety cameras confirms "a reasonable person could believe that society's expectations [of privacy] are being violated by the Norfolk Flock system."

A Florida teacher under fire for attacking a student with conservative values now needs to be fired, "and never allowed to teach again in Florida," according to state Attorney General James Uthmeier.
He sent a letter to the school board of Alachua County, demanding an investigation into a situation described by Crystal Marull at a state board of education meeting.
"If these facts bear out – and we have no reason to doubt Dr. Marull's veracity – then this teacher should be immediately terminated, and never allowed to teach again in Florida," the AG wrote in his letter.
He described: "Yesterday, Crystal Marull testified before the State Board of Education that a teacher from your county allowed students to label Dr. Marull's son a 'Naziphile' because of his interest in World War II history and participate in ROTC. That same teacher nominated her son 'Most Likely to Become a Dictator' due to his conservative values, had his classmates vote on the 'award,' and tried to force the student to the front of the class to receive a certificate, which he correctly refused."
That is a likely violation of state law, Uthmeier said.
"Florida law prohibits bullying and harassment. The Alachua County School Board's policy also prohibits bullying and harassment. Indeed, teachers must adhere to the Principles of Professional Conduct for the Education Profession in Florida. Teachers must not 'harass or discrimination against any student on the basis of … political beliefs,' 'intentionally expose a student to unnecessary embarrassment or disparagement,' 'unreasonably deny a student access to diverse points of view,' 'unreasonably restrain a student from independent action in pursuit of learning,' 'intentionally suppress or distort subject matter relevant to a student's academic program,' or expose a student to 'conditions harmful to learning,'" the letter charged.
The teacher, he said, "violated Floria law, the school board's policy, and no less than six ethical principles."
A report in the Alachua Chronicle said the board's reaction was to put the teacher on administrative leave immediately.
And Uthmeier noted, "Despite this teacher's nasty immaturity, we commend this young man for his strength in the face of rank political discrimination. Remove this teacher from the classroom. Parents and students in Alachua deserve better."
The teacher had told Marull earlier, "I do apologize that [your son] was offended by the Class Superlative. Class Superlatives are an activity I have been doing with all my classes for the last four years. I give students the option to change or add superlatives to the list from previous years and then the class nominates students and votes on the winner. I was not aware that [your son] was upset that he was nominated for that superlative a few weeks ago. To my knowledge, he did not ask to be removed when he was nominated or when the class voted. When I passed them out today, I reiterated that they were just for fun. These were not meant to be offensive. I do apologize."
But Marull charged, "This is just one incident emblematic of the litany of abuses and offenses that conservative families face in this district. Not only was it wholly inappropriate, the apology was hollow, and although I reported this to a school board member at the time, the board failed to follow up with any consequences."
WND had reported Marull also noted another son was barred from sitting with a friend "because a parent objected to my perspectives on book challenges."
Marull has been fighting woke books in the school system for years, and on Tuesday, she said on X: "School libraries are not a safe space. There are so many dark forces afoot, parents need to wake up.
"The groomers and pedophiles have infiltrated the school libraries! The 'banned book' arguments are all just a cover for their dark purposes."
From social media comments came a description of the teacher's actions: "Satanic."
And, "Why are we allowing teachers to bully conservative students? @EDSecMcMahon @HarmeetKDhillon."
And, "Hell, JAIL the teacher, this is child abuse."
