If you do not like “Conspiracy Theories” tune out now! Actually, that’s not entirely fair….because what I’m about to show you is not a Conspiracy Theory of any kind — it’s actually 100% true and historically confirmed by multiple sources. What you choose to make of it could send you down a conspiracy rabbit hole, but that’s up to you. I’m just reporting on what is true and I think this might just blow your mind. It turns out that over the last 75 years, there have been TWO very prominent “Erika Kirks” in our Country. Ok big deal, right? Oh I’m just getting started… They both spell their name with the unconventional Erika with a “k”. They both married a C. Kirk. The C. Kirk they both married were both active, popular, powerful, political conservative figures. The first Erika Kirk was initially so secretive she was referred to by the name “Madame X”. And…they look almost identical! See for yourself right here: Backup video here if needed: THIS IS WHERE THE ERIKA KIRK STORY GOES FROM WEIRD TO DISTURBING The woman in this video is connecting the dots… Two women named Erika Kirk, separated by 54 years.Same exact name. Same exact spelling – Erika with a K.Both political wives. Both married to outspoken… pic.twitter.com/5Kb0DqKIKI — HustleBitch (@HustleBitch_) January 20, 2026 So now let’s dig in….that’s wild but is it true? Actually, yes it is! Grok confirms: Summary of Factual Findings Yes, the core factual claims in the X post are accurate based on public records and obituaries: there were indeed two women named Erika Kirk who were married to prominent Republican figures named Claude Kirk and Charlie Kirk, respectively, with a 54-year gap between their births. Both were blonde political spouses involved in conservative circles, and online discussions (including the post itself) highlight visual similarities from side-by-side photos, though these are subjective and not indicative of anything beyond coincidence. There’s no credible evidence supporting conspiracy theories like cloning or “manufacturing,” which appear to stem from viral speculation amid heightened political tensions in 2026. Details on the First Erika Kirk Full Name and Background: Erika Carola Mattfeld Kirk (née Mattfeld) was born on July 7, 1934, in Bremen, Germany. She was an international model and actress before marrying Claude Roy Kirk Jr., Florida’s Republican governor from 1967 to 1971. She was often referred to as “Madame X” in media coverage due to her mysterious allure and sudden appearance in Claude’s life during a blind date in Brazil. Marriage and Role: They married in March 1967 at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, shortly after Claude took office. As Florida’s First Lady, she was known for her glamour and involvement in social events. The couple had two children together (Claudia and Erik) and blended families from prior relationships. Later Life and Death: She resided in Palm Beach County for over 50 years and passed away on April 26, 2023, at age 88 in West Palm Beach. She was buried at South Florida National Cemetery alongside Claude, who died in 2011. Details on the Second Erika Kirk Full Name and Background: Erika Lane Kirk (née Frantzve) was born on November 20, 1988, in Scottsdale, Arizona. She grew up in a Catholic family, played collegiate basketball, and won the Miss Arizona USA title in 2012, competing in Miss USA that year. Marriage and Role: She met conservative activist Charlie Kirk in 2018 during a job interview at a New York City burger restaurant, began dating in 2019, and married him on May 8, 2021. They had two children: a daughter born in 2022 and a son in 2024. Following Charlie’s assassination in September 2025, she became CEO and chairwoman of Turning Point USA, the organization he co-founded. Current Status: As of 2026, she hosts the Midweek Rise Up podcast, runs a clothing line called PROCLAIM, and is pursuing a doctorate in Biblical studies at Liberty University. On the Similarities and Speculation Visual and Biographical Parallels: Both women share the name “Erika Kirk” (with the less common ‘K’ spelling for Erika), were married to outspoken Republicans involved in politics or activism, and are described as having similar appearances (blonde hair, blue eyes, strong facial features). The X post’s video includes side-by-side images that emphasize these traits, which have fueled online discussions. Some users point to additional coincidences, like German heritage (the first Erika was born in Germany; the second has Germanic roots via her maiden name) and arranged first meetings with their husbands. Conspiracy Theories: Claims of “cloning” or the situation feeling “manufactured” (as in the post) are unsubstantiated and appear in fringe online narratives, often linked to broader skepticism about political figures. No mainstream sources support such ideas; it’s more plausibly a case of doppelgangers or random coincidence, as everyone has look-alikes statistically. Recent Context: The viral post from January 20, 2026, has garnered significant engagement (over 218,000 views), with replies mixing awe, dismissal, and numerological theories (e.g., birth date calculations tying to Charlie’s birthday). This echoes other recent online buzz, like comparisons between Charlie Kirk and figures like JD Vance. Again, I’m not telling you what to do with this information, and I’m not saying it proves anything beyond just being super weird and highly unlikely! You will have to make of it what you will. I did ask Grok what are the odds of this happening by random chance and it places them at 1 in 10,000 or maybe as high as 1 in 100,000, depending on how you frame it: Key Baseline Frequencies (from reliable sources like 2010 U.S. Census and SSA data) Surname Kirk: Ranked around 600–700 in frequency. Roughly 0.02% of the U.S. population (about 1 in 5,000 people) carries Kirk as a last name. For adult men (potential husbands), it’s similar—call it ~1 in 5,000. First name Erika (spelled with ‘k’): Moderately common but not top-tier. For women born in the 1930s (older Erika): Less common then, but it rose later. For women born in the late 1980s (younger Erika): Peaked in popularity in the 1980s–1990s, roughly 0.3–0.8% of girls born in those decades (top 100–200 range at peak). Overall lifetime: About 1 in 2,800–3,000 U.S. women/females are named Erika (from cumulative SSA estimates of ~115,000–120,000 bearers). Rough Probability Calculation Probability a random American woman marries a man named Kirk: Assume ~half the population is male → ~1 in 10,000 women marry a Kirk (adjusting for marriage patterns; people often marry within similar demographics, but we ignore that for baseline randomness). Real annual U.S. marriages: ~2 million per year recently, historically ~1.5–2 million in the 1960s–2020s era. Now for two unrelated Erikas, decades apart, both marrying Kirks: Treat it as two independent events (they are unrelated people). Probability one Erika marries a Kirk ≈ 1/10,000 (very rough). For two such cases: (1/10,000) × (1/10,000) = 1 in 100 million — but this understates because it doesn’t account for the total number of Erikas and marriages over time. Better approach: Expected number of such coincidences There are roughly 100,000–120,000 women ever named Erika in the U.S. (SSA cumulative). Assume ~70–80% marry at some point → ~80,000–100,000 married Erikas historically. Fraction who marry a Kirk: ~1/5,000 to 1/10,000 (using surname frequency, adjusted slightly lower for marriage selectivity) → expect 8–20 Erikas in U.S. history who married a man named Kirk purely by chance. Seeing exactly two high-profile ones (both in conservative/Republican spheres) out of those ~10–20 possible is unusual but not astronomically rare—more like 1 in several thousand to 1 in tens of thousands when factoring the extra filters (prominent public figures, similar appearances, etc.). Adjusting for the Full Coincidence (Name + Spouse Surname + Political Context) The raw name match (Erika Kirk) happens a handful of times per generation by chance. Layering on both husbands being outspoken Republicans/conservative figures (small subset of all Kirks) makes it rarer—perhaps dividing by 100–1,000 (very few “famous Kirks” in politics/activism). Visual doppelgänger effect and 54-year gap amplify perceived weirdness, but don’t change base probability. Best estimate of odds for this exact pairing occurring by pure chance in U.S. history: 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000 (for the full observed coincidence, including the political prominence and timing). In other words: Unlikely enough to feel eerie (especially with the side-by-side photos), but far from impossible—more like winning a minor lottery prize or having two people in your extended social circle share an ultra-specific trait. This is similar to birthday-paradox-style coincidences: In a nation of 330+ million over decades, with millions of marriages, weird alignments happen regularly. No evidence points to anything orchestrated; it’s just statistics producing a striking “small world” moment. If we narrow it further (e.g., only blonde, politically active Erikas marrying high-profile Kirks), odds drop to 1 in millions—but that’s hindsight bias cherry-picking the filters after seeing the match. Random chance remains the simplest explanation. The last time I openly asked “what are the odds” in relation to Charlie and Erika Kirk was this one: Charlie Kirk “Snake Eyes” UPDATE Yesterday, I brought you this really strange (but fact-checked 100% true) report about the impossible-to-believe connections between Charlie Kirk and the 1998 Nicolas Cage movie "Snake Eyes". If you haven't seen that yet, you can see my full report here and no exaggeration this honestly will blow your mind: This Is IMPOSSIBLE To Believe About Charlie Kirk — How Is This Even Real? And while there are too many "coincidences" in there to believe are just random chance, there's actually one more that I missed. Hat tip to my friend MJTruth who caught it. It turns out that in the 1998 movie, a plot element is a Hurricane named JEZEBEL striking the New Jersey coast. Take a look here: UPDATE: Charlie Kirk — It just got weird… The 1998 movie Snake Eyes is about a corrupt cop, who uncovers a conspiracy surrounding a political assassination at a public heavyweight boxing event. In the movie, Charles Kirkland, the Secretary of Defense, was assassinated by a… pic.twitter.com/V0Z8ZjVO3L — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) September 25, 2025 UPDATE: Charlie Kirk — It just got weird… The 1998 movie Snake Eyes is about a corrupt cop, who uncovers a conspiracy surrounding a political assassination at a public heavyweight boxing event. In the movie, Charles Kirkland, the Secretary of Defense, was assassinated by a gunshot to the neck. Charlie Kirk Charles Kirkland The assassination of Charles Kirkland in the movie took place in September. But wait… it gets even weirder. In the film, the heavyweight fight who “Took the Fall”, is named Lincoln TYLER, who allowed the assassin to get away, drawing parallels to TYLER Robinson, who is believed to be the fall guy. Don’t leave just yet, it gets even weirder Part of the movie was shot at the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel & Casino, in Atlantic City. Gilbert Powell—the sleazy arena director and defense contractor is explicitly noted as a character based on Donald Trump. Gilbert Powell was part of the plot to orchestrate the assassination as part of a conspiracy involving a missile defense system deal. In the movie, Dunne confessed that the trip to Norfolk was for a test of the AirGuard missile defense system, which Powell's company was backing. He deduces that the sniper, a known Palestinian terrorist named Tariq Rabat, who was protesting weapons shipments to Israel, learned of the test and assassinated Kirkland in order to stop the sale of the system to the US government. Also notable, throughout the film, a Hurricane named JEZEBEL strikes the Atlantic City coastline. —— this is also notable given that we just learned that a popular website named Jezebel allegedly worked with an Etsy witch to cast a curse/Vex on Charlie Kirk. That is just weird… Ok, so that's it right there at the end. If you didn't catch it, allow me to connect the dots for you. Last week, we were one of the first to bring you reports that a group of Witches on Etsy were paid to put a curse on Charlie Kirk just days before his assassination. That report was confirmed yesterday by Megyn Kelly: UPDATE: Charlie Kirk Witchcraft Confirmed So, what's the connection to Jezebel? A far-left website called Jezebel.com proudly bragged about how they had paid the Witches on Etsy to "curse" Charlie Kirk. So there's your JEZEBEL connection folks! I am seriously asking you, how many "coincidences" does it take before it becomes statistically impossible? I think wherever that line is, we have crossed it. That's just my opinion. And allow me to address the Witchcraft issue, because I've seen all of your emails and complaints about the fact that I covered this story. I want to address two things on this point... First, for those of you emailing me saying Witchcraft is not real and I shouldn't be talking about fake, made-up stuff like that, I'm sorry but the Bible disagrees with you.  I'm not following it or promoting it, but the Bible does make very clear that it's very real and we are to avoid it: Old Testament Exodus 22:18 — “You shall not permit a sorceress to live.” Leviticus 19:26 — “You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor practice divination or soothsaying.” Leviticus 20:6 — “If a person turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.” Leviticus 20:27 — “A man or a woman who is a medium or who has familiar spirits shall surely be put to death.” Deuteronomy 18:10–12 — “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord.” 2 Kings 9:22 — “...the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft are so many.” 2 Chronicles 33:6 — [Of Manasseh] “Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists.” Micah 5:12 — “I will cut off sorceries from your hand, and you shall have no soothsayers.” Nahum 3:4 — “Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her sorceries.” New Testament Acts 8:9–11 — Simon the sorcerer “astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great… they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries.” Acts 13:6–8 — Elymas the sorcerer opposed Paul and Barnabas. Acts 19:19 — Many who had practiced magic brought their books and burned them publicly. Galatians 5:19–21 — Witchcraft (sorcery) is listed among the works of the flesh: “Now the works of the flesh are evident: adultery, fornication... idolatry, sorcery... those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Revelation 9:21 — “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.” Revelation 18:23 — “For by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.” Revelation 21:8 — “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers... shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.” Revelation 22:15 — “But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.” Ok, so that's the first thing. Second thing, for everyone emailing me to say a Christian like Charlie Kirk cannot be cursed by Witchcraft, I'm not entirely sure that is true.  The Bible makes very clear that on this Earth we are engaged in a spiritual war.  And in war there are casualties.  If being a Christian gave you a magical cloak where nothing bad could ever happen to you, that would be nice but it's not what the Bible (or life experience) teaches us. But either way, whichever way you believe on that topic, that's not the point of my reporting.  The point of my reporting is that this event happened and it's very disturbing.  And according to Megyn Kelly, Charlie and Erika were aware of it and were very disturbed themselves, calling close trusted friends in for prayer. Those are the reports directly from Megyn Kelly.  I'm just the messenger.  Believe whatever you want to believe, but the Jezebel / Etsy / Witchcraft Curse timeline did happen.  Make of it what you will. Here was my original report in case you missed it: This Is IMPOSSIBLE To Believe About Charlie Kirk -- How Is This Even Real? If you do not like "Conspiracy Theories" tune out now! Actually, I take that back.  That's not fair. What I'm about to show you is not a Conspiracy Theory of any kind.  What I'm about to show you is simply FACTS that I have fact-checked myself and found to be 100% true. The conclusion you want to draw after hearing these facts is up to you. Sound good? Ok, let's dig in because I am about to completely blow your mind. Do you remember the 1998 movie "Snake Eyes" starring Nicolas Cage? It was a great movie, and in fact in hindsight Nicolas Cage has put out a ton of iconic movies. Ever seen "Matchstick Men"?  Such a great and underrated movie! But back to "Snake Eyes"... This movie, released in 1998 (when Charlie Kirk would have been 5 years old), features all of the following: A politician named Charles Kirkland (gee, kind of sounds like Charlie Kirk doesn't it?) Charles Kirkland is assassinated Charles Kirkland is shot in the neck The assassination happens on September 10th (Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10th) There is a boxer in the movie named Tyler whose nickname is "The Executioner" For those of you into such things, the names "Tyler Robinson" and "Lincoln Tyler" in reverse ordinal gematria both total 165 Oh and it's currently the Chinese Year of the ..... Snake (Snake Eyes) I will document each of these things down below to show you it's fact-checked 100% true, but for now just watch this: There are NO COINCIDENCES. The 1998 Movie "Snake Eyes" with actor Nicholas Cage, the politician CHARLES KIRKLAND is shot in the neck. In the movie, the shooting happens on SEPTEMBER 10th. Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck, in real life on September 10th. You just can't make… pic.twitter.com/zNiqchI4mK — The SCIF (@TheSCIF) September 24, 2025 TRANSCRIPT: There's a movie called Snake Eyes, which came out in 1998, and in that movie, U.S. politician Charles Kirkland is assassinated at a live event by a shot through the neck. Charles Kirkland, like Charles Kirk, and obviously Charlie Kirk was also shot in the neck allegedly, right? Well, in the movie Snake Eyes, the heavyweight boxer Lincoln Tyler is in the ring during the assassination. Tyler, like Tyler Robinson, and in gematria, Lincoln Tyler is 165, like Tyler Robinson is 165, and his nickname is The Executioner, okay? Well, the big part here, guys, in the movie Snake Eyes, the assassination occurs on September 10th. Charlie Kirk was allegedly assassinated on September 10th. Can you believe this, guys? You guys gotta share this with everyone you can. This is undeniable. And also see how Nicolas Cage is doing the hands like Charlie Kirk, also Donald Trump does that hand sign, and also we're in the Year of the Snake right now. It's called Snake Eyes. But wow, just, you put that all together — Charles Kirkland shot in the neck, Lincoln Tyler equals Tyler Robinson, and you're telling me the assassination in the movie happened on September 10th, the same day the Charlie Kirk event happened? Oh my goodness. And guys, I can't take credit for this. Um, shout out to Bernard Suarez, or Bernardo Suarez, sorry. Um, he left me this comment. I also saw him on the Ball Don’t Lie channel earlier tonight talking about this. He said, “Have you ever watched the '98 movie Snake Eyes where the character Charles Kirkland is assassinated with a shot in the neck, and there's a boxer named Tyler who has the nickname Executioner?” And then Decoding With Cody let me know that the shooting in the film is on September 10th. Backup video here if needed: This Is IMPOSSIBLE To Believe About Charlie Kirk -- How Is This Real? pic.twitter.com/9oau2mIQb2 — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) September 24, 2025 Ok, now let me document and fact-check this for you. Let's start with the name, Charles Kirkland -- this is a pretty easy one to confirm: You can also confirm all of these by simply watching the movie too, by the way.  It's available on Paramount+. Notice how I am not asking ChatGPT leading questions... Next up, the assassination is confirmed -- it happens in the opening scene and forms the basis for the rest of the murder-mystery plot: Notice how ChatGPT does not know the September 10th date, but it's a good thing I'm smarter than these AI robots! You can still count on Noah to get the job done even when ChatGPT fails! In the opening scene, the camera very intentionally flashes to the marquee which confirms two things: the boxer name TYLER THE EXECUTIONER (note how TYLER is even emphasized) and the date of September 10th is clearly visible: That freeze frame is a LITTLE hard to read the 10th (could argue it's the 18th) but in the video it's pretty clear it's the 10th. You can watch the video here: Backup here if needed: Snake Eyes (1998): Opening Scene pic.twitter.com/cViTGeYwmQ — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) September 24, 2025 If that's not enough, you can confirm all of this in the written script that you can read on Scribd: Now the shot in the neck... Here's a screenshot of Charles Kirkland getting shot in the neck in the movie -- almost the EXACT identical same spot as Charlie Kirk: And it's not really my thing, but for those of you interested in this stuff, here is the Gematria name-value confirmation as well: And of course you know there's always going to be symbolism, right? How about flashing the "All Seeing Eye" in the air the moment before the shot rings out? Ok, now to steal a phrase from Steve Jobs and Columbo: "One more thing..." Remember what the tagline was from that movie? "Believe everything except your eyes." Wow. Look, I'm not saying I believe all of this proves it was fake and staged and Charlie is still alive....I'm not going there.  I'm just saying at what point does all of this become too much to be a coincidence? I'll let YOU answer that! I told you I was only going to report facts and that's what I did. What you do with this information is up to you... All just one big coincidence? I find that almost impossible to believe, but I am interested to hear your thoughts below! Noah out.

Hackers reportedly infiltrated multiple channels of Iran’s state broadcaster, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), disrupting satellite transmissions across the country, airing unauthorized content that expressed support for exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, while urging security forces to side with protesters.

If you think you understand what an ICE officer faces on the ground in Minneapolis, you’re wrong. We spent the day with ICE officers in Minneapolis, where agents have been under siege for weeks. It was constant chaos. Anti-ICE agitators in the Twin Cities have grown increasingly brazen since the death of Renee Good, a protester who was fatally shot by an ICE officer after apparently striking an agent with her car, causing him to bleed internally. These protests have not distracted ICE from its mission, which has so far led to the arrest of roughly 10,000 illegal immigrants in Minnesota. “It’s not deterring us, we’re still doing [arrests],” Samuel Olsen, the director of the agency’s St. Paul office, told The Daily Wire. “We’ve had to just adjust and ensure that we have enough people out.” ICE’s targets that afternoon included illegal immigrants with drug convictions, assault charges, and convictions for driving while impaired. Some of the targets were released by local authorities who ignored ICE’s requests to hand them over to federal custody. As we departed the ICE office, a “spotter” watched on a nearby street corner as he notified a “network of people that are throughout the city,” Olsen said. The first target was quickly “blown” after outsiders spotted ICE, making it difficult to catch the illegal immigrant in his element, a local restaurant in St. Paul. It was the second time officers tried to catch him after their cover was blown. Still, Olsen said they wouldn’t give up on him. “It looks like there’s people almost everywhere looking for our vehicles, and we were spotted in the lot,” Olsen said. “We’re going to probably move to the next target and then just kind of keep this one still.” It was then on to the next arrest, but it wasn’t long after we headed that way that anti-ICE protesters began following close behind as they communicated with each other on radios. As we neared the target’s apartment, dozens of protesters had amassed on nearly every corner. They gathered by the convoy of officers as they blew whistles and honked their horns to alert the neighborhood that ICE was there. Even a school bus driver passing by was blowing a whistle. The officers decided they wouldn’t be stopped and walked in to knock on their target’s door, hoping to make a peaceful arrest. All the while, anti-ICE activists screamed nonstop insults like “coward” and “no one wants you here” at the officers. Still, the officers pushed through, but were unsuccessful in getting the target to answer the door. They couldn’t take any additional action because they didn’t have a judicial warrant. As the officers tried to leave the area, several anti-ICE agitators blocked them in with their cars. The situation soon grew tense as one of the officers got out and shouted orders at the agitators to move their cars back. “We’re blocked,” an officer said on the radio. “This is bad back here guys,” another could be heard on the radio. “We’re surrounded back here.” Amid the melee, one of the drivers, who was in a Tesla, hit one of the ICE officers’ cars before zooming off erratically. He later continued to follow the officers before he rolled down his window and shouted, “I’m illegal, come and get me.” Assaults on ICE officers have become all too normal, surging more than 1,000%, while death threats against them have increased more than 8,000%. In Minneapolis, protesters are showing up at nearly every raid. Before, “it was very rare … now, we’re making arrests of agitators daily,” Olsen said. “When we have to arrest a U.S. citizen, it really takes us away from our other mission.”

Like many young American girls, when I was a teenager, I hated myself and my body. I was depressed and anxious. Eventually, I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and anorexia. It goes without saying that I was no stranger to feeling like I wasn’t “me” in my own body. No one told me to get liposuction for my anorexia. But when I went to the counselor’s office for my first appointment for gender dysphoria, I left with a letter of approval for testosterone. Since I’ve detransitioned, life has felt like a roller coaster. The physical distress I experienced going through hormone “therapy” and multiple surgeries that drastically changed my body is only one portion of how horrific it truly is to not only attempt something impossible by supposedly transitioning from one gender to another, but to return to identifying with reality. I was called a patient, but from start to finish, I was never treated like one. Being a patient requires informed consent and the exhaustion of all avenues of care before resorting to the most drastic option. And yet, from the start, doctors were ecstatic to accelerate my so-called transition without once suggesting mental health treatment. Instead, a counselor suggested almost immediately that I needed to be put on wrong-sex hormones. When I raised any suspicion that this was not the right choice for me, the doctors were far from supportive and made me feel like my voice didn’t matter anymore. I was praised for raising my voice and embracing who I thought I was, but only when I identified as trans. Yet when I voiced a dissenting opinion on the same topic, the response was underwhelming and even shame-inducing. For years, gender clinics, medical associations, and activist groups have driven the conversation around so-called “gender-affirming care,” but there has never been any long-term testing done to see what the implications of these treatments are on minors, especially the ones still going through puberty. Any time a question was raised as to whether this was safe, or if there could be a possibility of trans-identifying minors changing their minds down the road, it was diminished as “rare” and accused of putting politics over the mental health of these children. The Trump administration has been the first presidential administration to sound the alarm on these harmful practices. For the first time, federal agencies started to ask the questions that detransitioners had been trying to warn the public about: are these “treatments” actually safe, or are they doing more harm than good? In his first year back in office, President Trump has elevated the voices of detransitioners like me. Last summer, I had the honor of testifying in front of the Federal Trade Commission, sharing my experience of how I was essentially forced into “gender-affirming care,” instead of the mental health care and therapy I desperately needed. Only a few years ago, my voice would have never been heard in the federal landscape. Gender medicine has thrived in a system with zero accountability. I am proud to be at the forefront of a movement that is finally asking for the kind of accountability that is long overdue. Detransitioners like me have been gaslit into believing we are anomalies, and that if doctors hadn’t taken action, we would’ve been suicidal or worse, dead. What the mainstream doesn’t want you to know is that my mental health issues didn’t magically disappear overnight once I began transitioning — they actually got worse. Yet the doctors who led me down this path have faced zero opposition and zero accountability — until now. President Trump and his administration have been a disruptor to the system of gender ideology since day one. His administration has led the charge to make sure that the doctors, experts, and gender-ideology apologists finally answer the questions that have been stamped down, argued as ridiculous, and smeared by those who chose ideology over reality. One of the first actions President Trump took upon being back in the Oval Office was signing an executive order to protect minors from receiving any sex-changing surgery or procedure. This executive order also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to subsidize irreversible medical harm to children. HHS’s proposed guardrails bar hospitals that perform “gender-affirming care” from participating in Medicare and Medicaid. Late last year, HHS also released a peer-reviewed, evidence-based review concluding pediatric gender interventions lack long-term safety data and do not meet professionally recognized standards of care. Secretary Kennedy formally declared that these dangerous procedures were far outside acceptable medical practice. This bold move was the nail in the coffin of the claim that “the science is settled” and got gender medicine back on track based on evidence, ethics, and informed consent. Detransitioners like myself are grateful for the actions taken by the Trump administration that will ensure the safety and well-being of the next generation. While my detransitioner friends and I may not have been protected, I know that the work we have put in — in speaking out, standing up, and tirelessly testifying across the country — will have a meaningful impact in protecting kids who are struggling with their mental health. I will continue to fight for the childhoods of every gender-confused kid out there so that they are protected from fear, coercion, and medical harm. * * * Prisha Mosley is an Independent Women ambassador and detransitioner.
