00:00:00.000 The way we treat our most vulnerable has always been the mark of a civilized society.
00:00:05.540 And with our abortion and euthanasia laws, it's become obvious that we are anything but
00:00:10.780 a civilized society. In fact, in today's world, children are targeted for abuse. Yes, children.
00:00:17.900 And it should come as no surprise, because we knew this was coming. You know, I'm going to show you
00:00:23.720 how professors are trying to convince parents that their toddlers are transsexual. Schools are
00:00:29.800 taking children to gay bars and indoctrinating children into the woke agenda and actively
00:00:34.560 concealing it from parents. This is the John Henry Weston show. Stay tuned.
00:00:39.780 Before we begin, let me ask you to please like and share this video and remember to subscribe
00:01:01.760 to this channel. It helps and I'd appreciate it. Let's begin as we always do with the sign of the
00:01:07.640 Cross. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:13.280 In Florida, children from Wilton Manors Elementary School were recently taken on a field trip to a
00:01:19.920 gay bar called Rosie's Bar and Grill, which features food and drink options with clear
00:01:25.680 references to male genitalia. Sandra Leonardi, a member of the Broward County School Board in Florida,
00:01:33.420 took the children to the gay bar and posted on social media that she was honored to do so and
00:01:39.520 thanked Rosie's for hosting this special trip every year. Now, children should not be taken to any bar,
00:01:47.820 let alone a gay bar. And yet these adults, who ought to know better, have taken the children to a bar
00:01:54.160 which has menu items such as sweet lovin', naked sweaty lovin', and a burger called Ivana Hooker.
00:02:02.060 It really is disgusting to see how much sexual content is being shoved down the throats of our
00:02:09.600 children all for the sake of wokeness. You know, just last week, Vermont mandated that the state's
00:02:16.660 public schools make condoms available to children as young as 12. The law says that in order to prevent
00:02:23.620 unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, each school district shall make condoms
00:02:29.720 available to all students in its secondary schools free of charge. Meanwhile, a primary school in
00:02:36.960 Scotland has asked boys and girls to come to school wearing skirts for a day. The wear a skirt to school
00:02:45.300 day, of course, is not about let's get real with our kilts. Oh, no, no. It's a cross-dressing initiative
00:02:52.800 modeled on a similar Spanish campaign, which was called Clothes Have No Gender. The boys, of course,
00:03:00.300 look awkward and confused, but how obvious should that have been? Adolescence is confusing enough
00:03:06.800 without boys being pressured into wearing skirts and dresses in order to make adults feel better
00:03:12.820 about themselves. You know, the LGBT activists are so intent on normalizing a lifestyle that is harmful
00:03:20.320 to bodies, minds, and souls that they are willing to cloak rank insanity in scientific sounding speech
00:03:26.600 in order to attempt to convince parents that even their toddlers are showing signs of being
00:03:32.540 transgendered. Check this out. This is from Diane Aronsaft, an associate professor of pediatrics at UC San
00:03:40.560 Francisco and director of mental health at the USCF Child and Adolescent Gender Center.
00:03:48.700 So let me give you an example. I have a colleague who's transgender and there is a video of him as a
00:03:55.620 toddler. So he was assigned female at birth. There is a video of him as a toddler tearing barrettes out of
00:04:04.240 her hair and throwing them on the ground and sobbing. That's a gender message. And when it happens not just
00:04:12.460 once or twice or three times, that's a gender message. Sometimes kids between the age of one and two
00:04:20.580 with beginning language will say, I boy, when you say girl. Those two words, I boy. That's not a pre-verbal,
00:04:30.300 but an early verbal message. And sometimes there's an urgency to say, well, honey, no, you're a girl
00:04:41.300 because little girls have vaginas and you have a vagina. So you're a girl. And then when they get a
00:04:46.920 little older, you hear them say, did you not listen to me? I said, I am a boy with a vagina. Okay. But
00:04:53.580 they can't say that between one and two, but they can show you about what they want to play with.
00:04:58.620 And if they feel uncomfortable about how you are responding to them and their gender,
00:05:05.960 if you're misgendering them. So you look for those kinds of actions, like tearing a skirt off. There
00:05:11.420 was one, I think this was in the Barbara Walters special where this child wore the little onesies
00:05:17.920 with snap ups in between the legs. And at age one would unsnap them to make a dress and have the dress
00:05:24.380 flow. This was a child who was assigned male. That's a, that's a communication, a pre-verbal
00:05:29.780 communication.
00:05:32.220 Do you know what kind of damage is caused when parents give in to this agenda and harm their
00:05:38.100 children by giving them drugs, which block puberty? There are permanent effects. They can never recover
00:05:45.060 full normal functioning. And it's a disaster. Do you remember even the woke 60 minutes did a special
00:05:52.380 on the damage this causes? Watch this testimony from a young woman for yourself.
00:05:57.540 In some cases, patients are choosing to reverse the process. It's called detransitioning. In her early
00:06:07.240 twenties, Grace Ladinsky Smith was seriously depressed and developed gender dysphoria. She began searching
00:06:14.940 for answers in transgender communities on the internet. And when I saw them being so happy and excited
00:06:21.160 about doing this wonderful transformative process to really like become their true selves, it was like,
00:06:28.080 have I considered that this could be my situation too?
00:06:30.960 Did this have any part of it, a sense that men had it easier in life than women did and that your road
00:06:39.960 might be easier if you were male?
00:06:42.200 Yes. I just had this sense that if, if I could inhabit life as like a trans man, as a man,
00:06:52.120 then I wouldn't feel so self-conscious. I was thinking that it would make me feel very free.
00:06:58.400 Grace says she found a gender therapist on the internet and told her, I'm thinking of transitioning.
00:07:05.480 She thought it all sounded pretty good.
00:07:07.000 Did the therapist not question you about how deep the feeling was and what it was stemming from?
00:07:15.640 She didn't go really go into what my gender dysphoria might've been stemming from. We only did a few
00:07:23.960 sessions. Because she was over 18 and didn't need parental consent. She says she merely signed an
00:07:31.240 informed consent form at a clinic and got hormone shots. They asked me, so why do you want to go on
00:07:37.560 testosterone? And I said, well, being a woman just isn't working for me anymore. And they said, okay.
00:07:43.760 So that was that. You got your prescription for testosterone?
00:07:47.280 Mm-hmm. Yep.
00:07:49.280 Just four months after she started testosterone, she says she was approved for a mastectomy,
00:07:55.260 what's called top surgery that she told us was traumatic. You know, I'm kind of surprised because
00:08:02.200 based on everything you've said up to now, I would have thought you'd have a great sense of relief.
00:08:08.460 I started to have a really disturbing sense that like a part of my body was missing almost a ghost limb
00:08:15.300 feeling about being like, there's something that should be there. And the feeling really surprised me,
00:08:20.160 but it was really hard to deny. And so she detransitioned by going off testosterone and
00:08:27.800 then went back to the clinic. And she says, complained to the doctor that the process didn't
00:08:33.560 follow the W-PATH guidelines. I can't believe that I transitioned and detransitioned, including
00:08:39.640 hormones and surgery in the course of like less than one year. It's completely crazy.
00:08:44.700 It's devastating. And yet this is the same theme we see repeated over and over again. For the
00:08:54.140 convenience and joy of certain adults, children must suffer. Be that by divorce, same-sex marriage,
00:09:02.660 abortion, the destructive gender ideology. You know, and when faced with adults or parents who refuse
00:09:09.120 to let their children suffer for the sake of adults, what's the response? Well, for some of
00:09:15.420 them, it's to resort to pushing the woke agenda anyway, without telling the parents, without their
00:09:20.520 consent, and also by hiding it from them. Just last week, the Oshkosh area school district,
00:09:27.600 which serves around 10,000 students in rural Wisconsin, instructed teachers to forego informing
00:09:33.400 parents of their child's decision to identify as the opposite sex while in school, violating
00:09:39.280 constitutionally protected parents' rights in the process, by the way. So previously, employees of the
00:09:45.240 school district were bound by an administrative guideline to inform parents and get their consent
00:09:50.680 when their children demanded to be referred to as an opposite sex pronoun. But now they are not to
00:09:56.640 tell parents. And the claim is that this policy will help put students first and ensure that schools
00:10:02.720 and classrooms are places where all students are able to be true, their true selves. You know,
00:10:10.600 schools and classrooms are supposed to be places of learning and education. Parents send their
00:10:17.440 children to school not to be indoctrinated and encouraged to lie and be deceptive to their own
00:10:22.540 parents, but to think and learn and grow. You know, it's getting so bad that a senior contributor at
00:10:29.280 the federalist Stella Morabito has published a warning to parents that if leftists are not stopped
00:10:36.440 in their agenda, moms and dads soon could need a license to raise their own children. She said,
00:10:42.280 and I quote, we can feel it when schools hide health information from parents. We see it in
00:10:47.760 legislation that allows minors to be taken in for abortions without parental knowledge or consent.
00:10:53.040 It happens when schools hide from parents their child's claim to be transgender. Judges have even
00:10:59.620 stripped custody from parents who don't want their minor child to take cross-sex hormones. End quote.
00:11:06.660 You know, these dangerous trends, if left unchecked, will result in the complete destruction of the
00:11:13.840 family as the basic unit of society and violate its sanctity as the domestic church.
00:11:19.580 You know, and speaking of targeting children, the pharmaceutical industry really wants in on the
00:11:26.460 action. In recent COVID madness, Pfizer has released a video calling children who took the jab as part of
00:11:34.440 the clinical trials superheroes. Now, yes, these are used to manipulate children and adults into giving
00:11:42.080 children the shot. And thanks to aggressive wheeling and dealing in Washington, Pfizer currently has a
00:11:48.580 monopoly over the U.S. 5 to 17-year-old COVID shot market. The FDA recently cleared the Pfizer shots
00:11:55.040 for children while conceding during its committee that the hearing that, of course, this government
00:12:00.680 health outfit has no idea about the long-term effects to children. And yes, this is the same Pfizer that
00:12:07.040 stands to make billions in profit from the vaccines. The same Pfizer that will next quarter provide results
00:12:13.200 from those children that are six months to less than two years old of the COVID shots.
00:12:19.660 So, of course, they're promoting children who got the shots in the trial as superheroes.
00:12:26.120 Superheroes for Pfizer making their profits.
00:12:30.120 All of us want to be superheroes. All of us want to be superheroes. And the most important heroes are
00:12:36.580 those that help others. This year, thousands of kids like us around the world joined the
00:12:42.500 COVID-19 vaccine trial. Kid power. And when they did, they became all superheroes.
00:12:48.520 To all the kids who volunteered, we'd like to say, thank you. Thank you.
00:13:01.560 The CDC, of course, fell in line with Big Pharma and have endorsed the Pfizer vaccine, making 28
00:13:07.340 million children between the ages of 5 and 11 eligible for the COVID-19 shot. This, despite the
00:13:14.480 admission from Dr. Eric Rubin, editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, that, quote,
00:13:20.700 we're never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it, he said.
00:13:26.560 That's just the way it goes, he concluded. You know, Dr. Ben Carson, he was arguing that the risks
00:13:34.540 of the shot far outweigh the benefits. He said, and I quote, the mortality rate for children from the
00:13:40.940 COVID-19 is 0.025, which is very similar to the rate for seasonal flu. Do we want to put our
00:13:49.000 children at risk when we know that the risk of the disease to them is relatively small, but we don't
00:13:55.540 know what the future risks of the vaccine are? Why would we do a thing like that? It makes no sense
00:14:01.820 whatsoever, end quote. It certainly does make no sense whatsoever. And yet, or maybe that's exactly why,
00:14:09.840 First Lady Jill Biden is traveling the country to encourage Americans to vaccinate their children
00:14:15.540 against COVID-19. The Biden administration is also urging school districts to distribute materials
00:14:22.060 promoting the COVID vaccines to children and their parents, as well as set up school-located vaccine
00:14:29.020 clinics, of course, using federal COVID aid dollars. Now, San Francisco has announced that it will be the
00:14:37.640 first state to implement vaccine passports for children aged 5 to 11, banning the children from
00:14:43.120 entering into restaurants, gyms, or sporting events unless they get the jab. Well, not to be outdone,
00:14:49.580 Costa Rica became the first country in the world to make vaccination against COVID-19 mandatory for
00:14:55.360 everyone under age 18. Costa Rica closed a deal with Pfizer for the purchase of 3.5 million vaccine
00:15:02.820 doses of which 1.5 million will be used for children aged 5 to 11. You know, it is time. It's time for us to
00:15:10.960 fight back, especially to protect our children. You know, some are doing that. A rabbinical court in New York
00:15:18.400 City ruled that it is, and I quote, it is absolutely forbidden to administer or even promote this COVID-19
00:15:25.400 injection to children, adolescents, young men, or women. The ruling, entitled Official Translation of the
00:15:33.100 Halachic Delineation, came after listening to eight hours of extensive testimonies from experts in the
00:15:40.120 field. The document also referred to testimonies from, quote, fellow Jews who suffered injuries and
00:15:46.820 also how this injection is harmful to procreation and fertility. The main area of concern for the
00:15:53.220 rabbinical court was harmed children and young people as a result of the COVID jabs, as well as
00:15:59.520 potential harm from the jabs that could result from unknown or long-term effects. In addition,
00:16:07.580 according to the Jewish group, it is prohibited for women of the same Jewish denomination to
00:16:13.500 intentionally practice sterilization or preventing fertility. Therefore, due to concerns about what the
00:16:19.940 jab might do to fertile women, including risks of severe blood clotting, they say, and I quote,
00:16:24.800 it is forbidden for them to take this injection, end quote. It's not only the Jewish court, the
00:16:30.720 Diocese of Madison in Wisconsin has also prohibited diocesan schools and churches from hosting vaccination
00:16:36.960 clinics. The bishop there, Bishop Donald Hyings, said that his decision was informed by his wish to
00:16:43.200 remain neutral on the question of vaccination against COVID-19. But of course, that's not good enough
00:16:48.080 for Fr. James Martin. And of course, Fr. James Martin, who promotes the normalization of, in the church,
00:16:54.900 of destructive homosexual behaviors, responded by calling Bishop Hyings' decision anti-life. In fact,
00:17:01.500 just like he called us at LifeSite News, DeathSite News recently, for daring to be against the COVID jabs.
00:17:09.400 Now, well, actually daring to speak the truth on all issues from the abortion-tainted nature of
00:17:15.780 these so-called COVID jabs to the truth about homosexuality. And you know, the truth is the
00:17:22.260 truth no matter what. And we at LifeSite are committed to proclaiming the truth. And we will do
00:17:27.540 that regardless of the cost, because we know that the truth will set us free. St. Maximilian Kolbe,
00:17:35.580 the great saint of Auschwitz, said, no one in the world can change truth. What we can do, he said,
00:17:43.060 and should do, is seek the truth and serve it when we have found it. So in keeping with that
00:17:49.040 commitment, we at LifeSite have partnered with the Truth for Health Foundation on a conference about the
00:17:55.060 risks of vaccination for children. And all of the conference videos are available for free on LifeSite.
