Your work is great and irreplaceable. Thank you for doing it.
On the aesthetic question, I might dial down the music a little both in volume and in "drama". A little dramatic musical cuing can do a lot, but it's easy to do a bit too much.
Thank you for doing this! I have an article about AG Paxton’s investigation up at The Federalist this morning, I think y’all will like it. It’s about how conservatives have finally figured out a way to defeat The Law of Merited Impossibility (“It will never happen, and when it does, you bigots will deserve it.”)
The way to short circuit that is what Mr Rufo is helping states do:
“Don’t wait for the Law of Merited Impossibility to strike near and dear to home. Take action now, work to get your legislators to enact a Law Against Imaginary Dangers, and watch the thing that is not happening finally, at long last, stop actually happening.”
Thank you for your attempts to educate. I’m glad my parents and grandparents did not live to see this abomination. It’s hard enough for Baby Boomer me. If these children are confused and depressed, what about the sane adults out here in this “la la land”.
"Psychological, physiological, and metaphysical manipulation" - a cult. It's a cult. What is the difference between a cult that sterilizes children to release their magical genderbeings and a cult that sterilizes children so Moloch will send the rains and make the crops grow?
Steven Pinker calls "blank slatism" the secular religion of modern life. It's how social justice theory excuses faults and elides innately unequal characteristics of a human being. You are perhaps familiar with James Lindsey's work on the cultic aspects of wokism. My own academic historical focus is the "trans" phenomenon as a faith formation episode with the "trans child" as a new example of esoteric child sacrifice. Robert Jay Lifton argues that communism and fascism ought to be seen as cults. Key to understanding how this works is that ideologies can and do shape our beliefs. These are not scientists, they are sorcerors, and they are not doing medicine. It is sex change magic.
"sterilizes children to release their magical genderbeings"
In trans treatment circles and among patients there is a lot of imagery circulated about a butterfly emerging from her crysalis.
I agree this looks like any other kind of sacrificial cult. Roman priests in 300 BC castrated themselves and cross dressed in honor of the Goddess Cybele, who was one of the representations of the most ancient goddesses.
Thank you for adding the hint of a possibility of a true documentary to come - using in this presentation your gift 🎁 for Reason ( philosophical “metaphysics” of the highest order of speech) wedded to the most valid well chosen attendant photography, art, and acoustics.
In your spare time ( lol) please begin a 60 minute to 2 hr documentary like the one you created using as a subject the Chinese young male! Media - even if you must produce yet another type yourself IS - the greatest Avenue of invented communication individual to community IS the method necessary for progress ... good luck no matter what avenue you pursue.
I’m sure you will continue moral work to free children from mauling. It’s certainly our obligation as citizens of a Western democracy who have thus far carried forward thousands of years of human dignity and promise. To have life, more abundantly, Greek and Christian amalgamated, inherited culture. Our real heritage : all of us together.
This whole scene makes me think about the eating disorder epidemic during the Eighties. The first waves of patients were white, upper middle or higher class status young white women. The dieting and purging behaviors spread by social contagion, and a lot of teenage girls who did not have eating disorders tried it out. The cases of serious eating disorders also spread out beyond the original demographic, almost like a virus.
There was a rather sudden and dramatic increase in the number of eating disorder units in private hospitals, which competitively tried to entice doctors, psychologists and other private healthcare practices to refer eating disorder patients to them. For wealthier and more desperate families, more and more private residential eating disorder programs with famous psychotherapists on the staff sprang into being. Some of those persist, but a lot of the hospital based programs became less important and less numerous when the psych epidemic subsided.
There is definitely a strong capitalistic response to mental health epidemics that affect wealthier families.
The rates of severe psychopathology among affluent, liberal families is staggering! There has been no significant work on why this would be the case, except for the recent research by Jonathan Haidt, Jean Twenge and their colleagues. Christopher Lasch's prophetic writing during the Eighties and Nineties predicted the rise of narcissistic personality disorder. But, similar kinds of mental illnesses were described much earlier in the twentieth century by Sigmund Freud, who worked primarily with female patients from wealthy families of German Jews.
When you consider these phenomena alongside Lasch's discussions of culture, we get a very strong anthropological suggestion about human nature. Thank you for reminding me.
I’ve worked in th OR for over 33years. They would rather find someone willing than bully someone. It’s a very controversial topic. Seems very odd to me. But this is just my opinion
Many people have been totally indoctrinated into passionate conviction about the medical necessity of transitioning children and adolescents whose are deemed by gender clinic staff to be "trans." This includes many of the professional staff at gender clinics. I think the surgeons are among those who find great satisfaction and emotional lift , for example, in being able to craft credible-looking female genitals for transitioning males. A significant number of gender clinic staff identify as trans or some variation of it and they respond to patients' transitions as a kind of spiritual experience, something like what professionals feel when they deliver healthy babies.
In addition, a lot of other ordinary people have been completely misinformed about what "trans" claims represent when they are made by kids and adolescents. Many such people have been told that "trans kids commit suicide if they can't transition," and they completely believe it. They think that medically transitioning kids is what is supposed to be done for them, and they congratulate the kids and go to celebrations for them. Working in a gender clinic is seen as legitimate and "life saving medicine" by most people who listen to liberal Democratic media, as far as I can tell from talking to people.
I live in Portland, where many citizens and probably all of the state politicians want Oregon to be a "sanctuary state" where young people can come with their families or on their own to get medical assistance with transitioning. My experience is undoubtedly at the worst extreme of the gender insanity, because Portland is completely off the deep end with this woke cultural spasm.
I would very much like to hear about this in C.R.'s reporting. I can guess, but I want to hear about reality - how it actually happens. Thank you for raising this question.
I'll go back and re-read, with that emphasis on clinical staff in-mind.
I very much value the details you uncover - examining the sinews of the beast. I can then re-think my own understanding - mostly philosophical - in-light of clear reality: you are helping me move back-and-forth between intuition and reality.
Perhaps "translate" "top-surgery" and "phalloplasty." Maybe the gory details are outside the scope of this presentation (are they?), but a quick translation into common-language might help. "Top-surgery" is, after all, a radical double-mastectomy, an operation which all women and the friends and family members who love them have heretofore been appalled at the prospect of. Next to metastasis, it is the worst possible outcome of breast cancer, and has deep complications, including lifelong pain. After all, no part of the body functions separately from the rest, and the breasts are an integral part of the chest cavity and organs. We have always understood it to be a deeply unfortunate mutilation based upon necessity.
Perhaps also a little more on the manipulative technique of separating parent and child (O'Malley receiving confession, then going out to waiting room to speak with parents). This is classic - separating child (a child!...) and parents, and making himself arbiter of truth/reality under the guise of expertise. This is basic interrogation technique - equally for gaining false confessions as true ones. It is per-se adversarial, and has no place in the medical field.
That's a good point. I'm planning another video detailing the surgical side of this phenomenon. I have some exclusive reporting from hospitals doing some extreme operations. Will keep this in mind, so people can truly understand what is happening.
You deftly included both believers and non-believers in a brief and natural transition that makes real sense - nobody has good reason to support this. The truth that "nature reasserts itself" binds believers and (non-gnostic) non-believers. It is reality itself.
You are on your way to a powerful and effective public rhetoric carrying the truth of the matter to the many decent and perplexed citizens/tax-payers.
For myself, whatever suggestions I make are merely that - C.R. is working toward a successful public rhetoric informed by the truth, and choices must be made. What matters in the rhetoric is to get people to see the truth. Sometimes something valuable must be considered, and left out. My hope, in this context, is to mention something worth considering - though it may be excluded upon consideration.
Given C.R.'s energy and ideas, I expect to see multiple iterations en route to a means of effective presentation -relative to audience (I am not a primary new audience member, being already certain - like you - of the terror of this thing). C.R. must reach citizens, broadly, and bring them to reason and courage that they already have in them.
P.S. I'm experimenting with new formats for the videos. What do you think about the animation and music in this one?
Your work is great and irreplaceable. Thank you for doing it.
On the aesthetic question, I might dial down the music a little both in volume and in "drama". A little dramatic musical cuing can do a lot, but it's easy to do a bit too much.
Like the music, thank you for all your hard work, thank you for fighting for us for our children for our future.
Quite well done.
I like the music maybe just a notch down on volume, not a lot though.

Thanks for sharing.
Very insightful article!
Thank you!
Thank you for your attempts to educate. I’m glad my parents and grandparents did not live to see this abomination. It’s hard enough for Baby Boomer me. If these children are confused and depressed, what about the sane adults out here in this “la la land”.
You parents and grandparents wouldn't have stood for it.
"Psychological, physiological, and metaphysical manipulation" - a cult. It's a cult. What is the difference between a cult that sterilizes children to release their magical genderbeings and a cult that sterilizes children so Moloch will send the rains and make the crops grow?
It's a cult, for sure, driven by ideology.
Steven Pinker calls "blank slatism" the secular religion of modern life. It's how social justice theory excuses faults and elides innately unequal characteristics of a human being. You are perhaps familiar with James Lindsey's work on the cultic aspects of wokism.

Sounds like the hospital is the IRL Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Thank you
"The problem is that nature has a way of reasserting itself..."
A powerful turn.
Great work. I keep praying for kids. Satan is attacking them from so many angles.

Good work, but your overly dramatic music is too loud and takes away from your presentation.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm experimenting with some different styles and approaches.
Excellent work, Chris!! The utter depravity and evil of sex change medicalization of children is straight out of the playbook of Ashtoreth (Ishtar.)
I'd like to know how much money these "caring" doctors are making from child mutilation.
A ton of cash.

Thank you for explaining this.
How does this comment-deletion work?
Please come to MN next.
Hello Chris. I am an OR nurse. How do they get the entire staff to buy into this atrocity. Please DM me. I want to help.
They bully them into it. See my last report featuring a whistleblower: https://rufo.substack.com/p/theyre-wanting-to-play-god.

Good video, but for me the background music was distracting and annoying.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm experimenting with some different styles and approaches.
Brilliant presentation, very professional.
May I raise a few minor suggestions?
