Should Israel OCCUPY GAZA after destroying Hamas?

As Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Gaza, it has warned civilians in the north to evacuate. But what will happen next? President Biden told 60 Minutes that he believes it would be a "big mistake" for Israel to occupy Gaza after it destroys Hamas. But Glenn disagrees. Glenn reviews the historical precedence for such a move and warns that a two-state solution didn't work out so well the last time it was tried, in post-World War II Germany. Plus, he points out the "key" to the whole argument: The Palestinians in Gaza might be controlled by Hamas, but they VOTED for Hamas, which uses them as human shields ... and recent polls suggest the vast majority still support the destruction of Israel.

GLENN: There's a couple of things. NBC, that incredibly right-wing organization, of NBC. Showed some documents, that they obtained, exclusive coverage on NBC, that show Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in -- in part of their attack.

The -- in Arabic, which shows, you know, the map and where they need to go, and it says, kill as many people as possible.

They're also labeled, top secret.

Now, they came off of the body of one of the people, Israel. Sent to Allah, this weekend.

And I feel bad about that. Well, actually, I don't. But he's with his -- is it 80 or is it 90 virgins?

I think it's 80 virgins, right? How many virgins?

STU: I thought it was only 70. How many virgins do they thought? Is there an exchange rate? Is it affected by inflation?

GLENN: I think it's 80 virgins, that you get. That's what you used to get, in the old days.

STU: Seventy-two virgins.

GLENN: Seventy-two. Well, it's based on the American that are. So it's probably more now.

STU: It's thousands at this point.

GLENN: Hey. By the way, just a tip. If Israel is sending you home to your virgins, you've only got 72 of them, and all eternity. So, you know, don't get up there, like I have 72. Space them out. Space them out.

Anyway, so we've got that news. Meanwhile, people are still saying, I think this is wrong, what Israel is doing.

Really? You know, the president said yesterday, that on 60 Minutes. And, boy, was he dynamic. What a fireball that was.

He was asked if Israel should, quote, occupy Gaza. Here's what he said, cut six.

VOICE: Would you support Israeli occupational of Gaza at this point?

BIDEN: I think it would be a big mistake.

Look, what happened in Gaza, in my view. Hamas, and the extreme elements of Hamas, don't represent the Palestinian people. And I think that it would be a mistake to -- for Israel to occupy Gaza region.

GLENN: Okay. Stop for a second.

I don't think it's a mistake to occupy. Well, I mean, I wouldn't live there.

But I think Israel should park their car there.

You know what I mean?

Park a lot of cars there. It could be, you know, some sort of a parking lot, that they make it.

I think you should be done with this experiment. How many times do we have to do this, before people get it?

Hamas, and the Palestinian, the whole thing is a sham now, that doesn't mean that there aren't good Palestinians, et cetera, et cetera.

But that's not what this movement is about. Nor has it ever been about.

The Palestinian people, have been used. Over and over again, by people who just want to kill Jews. That's it.

That's been the -- the thing from the very the beginning.

Now, were there people that, you know, would like to share the land?

I'm sure. But you -- I'm sorry. Have got to treat the Palestinians that live in Gaza, and are in the Middle East. You have to treat them, the way we treated, all Germans.

All Germans weren't bad. But those Germans voted Hitler in.

And fought for Hitler. And they were like, it's -- you know, it's pretty great.

Well, it wasn't pretty great.

And as soon as the German people said, you know what, this isn't pretty great. I don't want anything to do with this anymore, it was over.

And the world could live together. And because of communist Russia, Germany got a two-state solution. And that worked out really well.

STU: And obviously you're exaggerating at some level of saying, you want to turn it into a parking lot.

GLENN: I mean, a nice one.

STU: Yeah, a nice one. But I would argue, why not just a park.

And I would use turf. It's really hard to maintain grass, in a large swath of land like that.

Just roll out the turf in that area. And no one lives there. Nobody. Nobody lives there.

I have no problem. You want to make it into farmland. Because the Palestinian people will need food.

Because Egypt will not feed them.

Israel and the United States were the ones sending the food into Gaza. And they're the ones that hate us.

That's fine. Make Gaza into a farmland. And then Jordan and Egypt.

Maybe even Iran.

Could take the Palestinian people. And divide up something like Egypt has a lot of land.

GLENN: A lot of land. A lot of land.

STU: A lot of open space there.

And again, a lot of these people, they're not -- they can't be this part of this country anymore. Right?

Like, there's just no way. It makes absolutely no sense. For Israel to have a -- a -- I don't know. An oasis for Hamas, in the middle of their country. It makes literally no sense.

You will have to find a different place to go. Look, we tried this. And stupidly, by the way. It was a stupid thing for Israel to try.

To say, hey. Well, what if we let them vote in Hamas. And see what happens in the next decade. It's ridiculous.

GLENN: That is key. They voted Hamas in.

STU: Yeah. And the same thing could be said for the Germans back in the day. They didn't really have a chance to change their mind. If they decided leadership wasn't so great.

They did vote them in. In a widely approved election. This was not something that people.

You know, watchers from around the world was saying, was a fake election. Or a bad, fixed election. He this put Hamas in power. Now, Hamas did not give them a chance to overall them later, and take them out of power. Maybe they all changed their opinion on Hamas.

Opinion polling does not show that, we should note.

Maybe now they have. Maybe they're so horrified by attacks. Who knows.

GLENN: The last opinion poll I saw. This was years ago.

The last opinion poll I saw, it was like 97 percent, or 93 percent of Palestinians agreed with killing the Jews.

Using terror. Cutting people's heads off. Killing civilians. Kidnapping children.

STU: It was very, very high.

And it was much higher than it should be, let's put it that way.

GLENN: So it was also people just last week, celebrating in the streets.

If my government. Let's be honest. If you found out today, that the United States was over kidnapping Russian children and just going into houses in Russia and just shooting innocent, you know, women and children, would you be out passing cookies outside? Because I wouldn't be. I would be ashamed.

STU: Look, and this is time for another asterisk here, right? These people have been indoctrinated. They're very similar to people who live in North Korea, who are told that Kim Jong-un is a God. Right?

You listen to the children from these regions, talking about the Jews. They've been taught this from birth.

GLENN: It's horrible.

STU: And it's very different --

GLENN: And you could say that about the Hitler youth. You could say that about the Hitler youth.

STU: Exactly.

GLENN: But at some point, the Palestinian people need to stand up and say, we don't think it's right killing Jews anymore.

And unfortunately, history has shown us, the only way that happens, is to bomb the snot out of people.

And I'm sorry, but history has shown, when you have attempted over and over and over and over again, to be able to give people peace.

Hey, let's just live in peace. You do this. And I'll do that.

And just live in peace.

Nope. They're not interested. They're not interested.

They've been offered a two-state solution.

They turn it down.

Why? Because it's about killing all of the Jews.

That's all that is. Period. Period.

And, by the way, if anybody is feeling badly, I understand that.

I don't want to kill innocent women and children either.

Israel has a right to defend itself.

And if that's what you need to do.

By the way, they are dropping fliers, from the sky.

Been all weekend.

Please leave this area.

Please, evacuate. We're coming in the next 24 hours.

Well, we did that too.

We did that in Japan.

It's my pretty clear understanding, that would make us and Israel, the only ones that warn people.

Please, leave. Our war is not against you.

It's against your leadership.

And even -- even when we drop these -- sorry. 80 million of these fliers, in Japan.

Before we bomb them. It said, our argument is not with you. Our argument is with your government.

But you must tell your government to stop.

Well, they eventually did. Unfortunately, it took two bombs.

But eventually they did.

STU: Typical pro-western projected here on the Glenn Beck Program. As usual. This is exactly what I would expect you to say. You know, you don't even care about the innocent victims in Gaza. It's fascinating to see you at work.

GLENN: Really?

STU: Yeah. And, by the way, you know, considering your evil pro-Western ways, it was nice to see you actually jumping in the fray a little bit, in Israel.

Finally decided to get off your horse -- get on your horse, and pick up a few people over there on some planes. It was good to see you -- how could I put it? Maybe in -- shamed by Ron DeSantis, who was already doing it.

GLENN: This is where you're going? This is where you're going?

STU: Look, I'm saying, I'm glad you finally got off your butt and help people in the Middle East.

GLENN: Wow. That's refreshing coming from you.

STU: People were so turned -- they were like, why were you going after Glenn about his not doing anything. After all he's done in Afghanistan and everything else.

And it's like, no. He can't say anything go. The mission is ongoing. So I can say he hasn't done anything this whole time on the air over and over again. And he can't defend himself, because these --

GLENN: Wow. Listen to him. So what he's trying to do is trying to make an excuse for himself. He's trying to make an excuse.

No. I was just kidding. Because Glenn couldn't defend himself.

You had no idea that we were sending --

STU: No. Really.

GLENN: You had no idea.

STU: Well, why didn't you say anything? If you were. If you were --

GLENN: Because I was so hurt by what you said on the air.

STU: Oh, okay.

GLENN: Anyway, yeah. Thanks to Mercury One and our partners, our first plane was supposed to be there yesterday. Leaving.

It has been delayed. And we are trying to get as many planes over there as we can. To rescue. Or, I'm sorry.

To bring home, as many Americans as we possibly can.

And there's more to this story.

But I can't speak about it now.

But please, pray for all those Americans, that don't have a way out.

By the way, we're not -- you know, I know we have these giant gray planes. You know, the president has access to.

And I heard this weekend, that they are going to start picking people up.

Which I applaud.

And then they're dumping them in Germany.

And then they're charging people. Thanks to Mercury One. And our partners.

We are picking people up in Israel. And we are bringing them home to the United States. And we are not charging anybody.

Which is very nice. But that is all thanks to you. And Mercury One.

And the NazareneFund.org.

The Dark Truth Behind Queer Theory & Gender ‘Affirmation’ For Children | Liz Wheeler & Glenn Beck

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Here’s how INTENSE JFK’s Presidential Fitness Test was

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

THIS is why self-reliance may be your ONLY protection from SLAVERY

This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes freedom is guaranteed, and it’s time to see the truth and act before it’s too late.

SHOCKING: Glenn Beck Interviews 'Detransitioner' Deceived by Doctors

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
