National Affirmation Cannot Change Nature’s Renunciation
By Micah Clark   |   04.06.17
There is an excellent article from John Stonestreet, the president of the Colson Center for Worldview, detailing a surprisingly honest article in the liberal publication, The Huffington Post.    Stonestreet comments on a homosexual male who wrote an article expressing his...
Do 66,000 Pediatricians Really Support the AAP’s “Trans”-Affirmative Policy?
By Laurie Higgins   |   04.05.17
I've read umpteen times that the 66,000-member American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) supports the use of opposite-sex restrooms and locker rooms in schools by gender-dysphoric students. Wowzer! 66,000? That’s a lot of pediatricians. A few weeks ago I got to ruminating on that mind-boggling claim. It seemed implausible that all 66,000 pediatricians could believe something so radical. So, I set off on a quest to dig into this claim, and what I learned is surprising.
Liberals Shame and Bully Conservative Kids
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.29.17
One of the central tactics used by liberals to impose coercively an incoherent and science-denying “trans” ideology on, well, everyone, is to hurl epithets at dissenters. And if that means adults hurling epithets in the direction of children, so be it. Leftists can’t have children running around our streets even thinking the emperor has no clothes. And they certainly can’t have girls refusing to share restrooms with the emperor.
#FreeSpeechBus Vandalized in New York City
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.24.17
Three conservative organizations are sponsoring the "Free Speech Bus" on which are written these words:

#FreeSpeechBus

It's biology:
Boys are boys...and always will be.
Girls are girls...and always will be.
You can't change sex. Respect all.
How is it Fair When a Male Weightlifter Competes Against Women?
By Dr. Michael L. Brown   |   03.24.17
The performance was stunning, as New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard absolutely smoked the competition, beating her nearest competitor, a Samoan woman, by nearly 20 kilograms. The only problem is that Laurel is a biological male, born Gavin, which is why...
A True Story About the Southern Poverty Law Center
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.23.17
A refreshing and much-needed take-down of the ethically impoverished Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its avaricious founder Morris Dees inspired me to recount IFI’s true story about our interaction with the blackguards who maintain the SPLC’s “hate groups” list.
Legalizing Counterfeit Birth Certificates
By David E. Smith   |   03.19.17
This morning, the Illinois House Human Services Committee held a hearing on a highly controversial proposal that would legalize fraud through the alteration of birth certificates by gender-dysphoric persons who wish to have the government reinforce their deceit. The bill passed on a party line vote.
Transgenderism and Cancer
03.18.17
Pharmaceutical companies have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to test new drugs. Yet, we in America are permitting confused youth to be used as guinea pigs in medical procedures that mutilate the anatomy and flood the body with potentially damaging hormones. The current rush to acceptance of transgenderism ignores a problem beyond the immediately obvious. Are we setting up hundreds of thousands for early deaths due to cancer?
Identity Politics and Paraphilias: Leftists Can’t Navigate Either
03.16.17
The recent “March for Women” in Washington, D.C., might have been  a bit vague in its goal, but it sure was vulgar its execution. It also provided nice fodder for this series on identity politics. This is from the Free...
Liberal Mom Objects to Man in Disneyland’s Women’s Restroom
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.14.17
Leftists smugly ask what they perceive to be THE "gotcha" question about trannies in restrooms: "So, are we going to have genital police?" To those smugsters, I ask, "How will you determine whether the burly, bearded, bulging-biceped person in the women's restroom or locker room is a member of the "trans" cult or a predator pretending to be a member of the "trans" cult?”
Defining Our Own Reality
03.13.17
The entire "transgender" movement rests on the proposition that a person can define his or her (or "ze") own reality, and that society should recognize and yield to that conception of reality at all times in all places. It appears to be yet another unwieldy extension of the Supreme Court's infamous declaration in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (upholding Roe v. Wade) that "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."
Scary Mommy and Selfish Daddy
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.11.17
The parenting blogger "Scary Mommy" and her husband—who have three young children—are divorcing. The proximate cause of their divorce is his homoerotic desire. The ultimate cause is rebellion against God. Scary Mommy, Jill Smokler, and her husband Jeff have been married for 17 years. In a recent interview Jeff describes his love for Jill...
Identity Politics and Paraphilias: LGBT Is Not a Color & Fetishism
By John Biver   |   03.08.17
Last fall Breakpoint’s John Stonestreet posted an op ed titled and subtitled, “LGBT Is not a Color: Stop Hijacking Civil Rights,” and here was the introduction: “Are sexual orientation and gender identity the same as race? That message is being...
Former “Transgenders” Talk About De-“Transitioning”
By Laurie Higgins   |   03.07.17
“Progressives” promote the lie that “gender identity” is immutable in order to rationalize and normalize an incoherent ideology and destructive medical “treatments.” Leftists desperately hope that the mainstream press, always in thrall to sexual radicalism, will avert its gaze from the growing “de-transitioning” movement. Thankfully, social media is here to occasionally shine light on alternative reality, that is to say, objective reality.
Identity Politics and Paraphilias: Man’s Search for Meaning
03.03.17
One of the best books I ever read is Man’s Search for Meaning by World War II concentration camp survivor Victor Frankl. First published in 1946, the book chronicles his experience in the camp and his struggle to find meaning...
