For the past two years, Billboard Chris has traveled across North America wearing a billboard and carefully explaining his concerns that children and teenagers are being grossly mistreated and permanently injured by those who embrace gender ideology. In a recent tweet, Chris is shown talking to those who would like to discuss these issues:

Thank you to everyone for the outpouring of support. I’ve been at this for 2 and a half years, with the audacious idea that having intelligent conversations out in the real world would help educate millions, and spread awareness about the abuse of child transition.

Much has happened, and we are winning spectacularly. I will try to get back to as many of you as I can in the coming days. If you are media and I have missed your message, please send it again.

Children are never born in the wrong body!

In the process of trying to have conversations, Chris has repeatedly been assaulted by trans rights activists, resulting in several serious injuries. The TRAs are desperately trying to keep the rest of us from having meaningful discussions about the damage being done to children, especially by the “gender affirming care” version of treatment, illustrated by this Paradox Institute infographic:

I take the position that adults (those over 18) have, and should have, the liberty to do whatever they want with their own bodies. With regard to those under 18, I largely agree with Chris. He recently explained his position to the Florida Health and human Services Committee (I created the transcript you will find below):

Good afternoon. It’s a great honor to be here today. My name is Chris Elston. I’m a father of two girls. And for the past two and a half years, I’ve been on a very unique journey, traveling all across North America, going to dozens of states and provinces, having conversations like a crazy person out on the street, at a university, about what I consider to be the greatest child abuse scandal in the history of modern medicine. Our children are being harmed psychologically and physically because of an ideology that teaches that just because they defy sexist, progressive stereotypes, that they must have been born in the wrong body. What an abusive thing to say to a child that they were born wrong. Can you imagine telling your child they were born wrong? What does that even mean?

The body positive message we should be sending is that there is no right way to be a boy or a girl. That the girl wants to climb trees and play in the dirt and throw around a football wants to be an engineer when she grows up and hates wearing dresses. Well, guess what? She’s 100% of beautiful girl. We all knew this five years ago. Yet this ideology that teaches that our children are trans, has captured the entire Western world.

Yet no one can even define what it means to be trans. All it means is that they defy stereotypes. In this day and age, it means they have other mental health comorbidities, which are affecting them. Half of these children who are going to these gender clinics are on the autism spectrum. We know from Tavistock, the biggest gender clinic in the world, that of more than 1000 children, 35% have moderate to severe autism. These are children who have been abused in many instances. Parents are 10 times more likely to have been sex offenders. Kids in foster care are wildly over-represented. These are our most vulnerable children who aren’t fitting in, who are having a tough time and they’re being treated as though gender is the source of all their troubles.

The drug that they are given has been given to pedophiles in the past to chemically castrate them. It’s only been approved to treat prostate cancer in men, endometriosis and uterine fibroids in women. But we give it to kids off-label. We manipulate parents by telling them that they can have a dead daughter or a live son, as though these kids will kill themselves if we don’t medically condition them. Yet there’s no evidence to support this. Laura Edwards Leaper, who founded the first gender clinic in Boston, in 2007, even wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post last year that she’s not aware of any epidemic of suicides. The only evidence we do have has been done with adults. There are no studies with kids. But with adults. The evidence shows that ten years after sex reassignment surgery, suicide rates peak and are 19.1 times higher than their peers after adjusting for other mental health comorbidities.

So what are we doing in these kids? This is a pseudo-religious movement that we have to put a stop to. There is no such thing as a transgender child. They are called boys and girls. And they are beautiful just as they are, no drugs or scalpels needed. Thank you.
