WPATH Files Expose Unethical Practices in Gender Medicine

Start listening at 02:46 – Hour 1

Lori Gimelshteyn, co-founder of the Colorado Parents Advocacy Network, exposes the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) and its recently leaked files. Colorado became the first state to explicitly include gender-affirming care in its benchmark health insurance plan, covering procedures from double mastectomies to facial feminization surgery. Gimelshteyn reveals her undercover investigation of the Colorado crisis line, where she posed as a nine-year-old and was immediately connected to the Trevor Project to “explore her queer identity.”

Valerie Leal details how Michael Schellenberger’s Environmental Progress dropped over 200 leaked files showing WPATH professionals acknowledging children cannot provide informed consent and parents cannot understand what is being done to their children. The files reveal young patients returning in their twenties seeking reversals of decisions made in youth.

“What has happened is that they’ve been exposed for unethical practices. Legislators, judges, insurance companies, public health providers have been misled into trusting these guidelines put out by WPATH.”

Parents Fight Back Against School-Based Social Transitioning

Start listening at 17:16 – Hour 1

Gabrielle Clark filed the first federal lawsuit against woke indoctrination in America after her son faced discrimination based on CRT and her daughter was socially transitioned through SEL programs. Clark created the Affirming Reality methodology to help parents guide their children to desistance from social transitioning. She warns that 20 to 50 percent of urban school-age children now identify as something other than their natal sex.

Erin Lee, whose story broke on The Kim Monson Show two years prior, describes how her 12-year-old daughter was recruited into gender ideology through an after-school art club. Lee and Kevin Lundberg produced ArtClubMovie.com to show families they are not alone. Her school district now proclaims over 50 percent of students identify as LGBTQ.

“I’m going to ruin the gender industry in America, believe it. Even if I have to do it one kid at a time.”

Coalition Building Across Political Lines to Protect Children

Start listening at 30:38 – Hour 1

Rich Guggenheim, Colorado spokesman for Gays Against Groomers, emphasizes that opposition to gender ideology transcends political boundaries. Gay men, Democrats, people of color, Christians, and atheists are uniting against child mutilation. Guggenheim warns that trans queer activists at pride parades literally chant “we’re coming for your kids.”

Ellen Daehnick represents Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender. This lifelong Democrat explains how researching J.K. Rowling’s supposed transphobia led her to discover that gender identity ideology compels speech, requires compliance, and harms children. She notes the ACLU now supports book banning, a dramatic departure from classical liberalism.

“The motto of the Democratic Party on trans ideology is, as so often the case, no debate. How do you come to good policy decisions without actually engaging in clash and disagreement?”

Ballot Initiatives Challenge Legislature on Parental Rights

Start listening at 44:33 – Hour 1

Greg Lopez, former Parker mayor and gubernatorial candidate, works to place two initiatives before Colorado voters: protecting girls’ sports from biological males and requiring schools to notify parents within 48 hours if a child expresses gender incongruence. Progressive groups have challenged both initiatives to the Colorado Supreme Court despite title board approval.

Darcy Schoening and Dr. Wade Goodall propose prohibiting transgender surgeries and medical procedures on minors until age 18. Despite unanimous title board approval, a left-wing law firm challenged their initiative in the final hour. Schoening notes Democrat organizations have reached out to support these measures, revealing how far the radical legislature has strayed from ordinary Coloradans.

“Just because we’re in a super minority in the House does not mean those people speak for the majority of Coloradans. It’s time to bring back common sense to Colorado and protect our kids.”

Individual Rights as the True American Innovation

Start listening at 59:05 – Hour 2

Brad Beck, Liberty Toastmasters co-founder, presents his essay “IR is the New AI,” arguing that Individual Rights represents the authentic American intelligence. While technology companies develop artificial intelligence, the founders developed something more revolutionary: recognition that every human being possesses natural rights. Beck likens freedom advocates to rocks in Boulder Creek, forcing the current of tyranny to flow around them rather than through them.

Beck reflects on Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address as a rededicating of America to founding principles, delivered in 262 words over two minutes while the previous speaker droned for two hours. The ideas of 1776 remain revolutionary in a world where most governments still fail to recognize individual sovereignty. Beck urges citizens to speak up at school boards, support liberty-minded candidates, and build coalitions across industries threatened by overregulation.

“We’ve only been a country for a short period of time in the pantheon of history. This idea of American individualism, of being an authentic, free individual, is a new thing in the history of mankind.”
