Is There Really a Fentanyl Crisis?
If you watch conservative media, you are familiar with the claim that the Biden administration’s border policy has resulted in a flood of fentanyl into the US and a huge surge in fentanyl-related deaths.
Is that true? Or is it just right-wing bias? Is America’s southern border really an open door for one of the world’s deadliest recreational drugs?
In this podcast, a seemingly reasonable doctor tries to answer that question.
Parental Love or Child Exploitation?
Meet 10-year-old Noella McMaher. In August, she became the youngest ever trans model to walk the runway at New York Fashion Week. In the photo above, she is modeling an outfit from TCC (Trans Clothing Company), an “all-inclusive brand with clothes for trans and gender nonconforming people of all types.”
When this story first came out in the media, most of the reports were positive. “Noella doesn’t ever get nervous or scared by anything,” one of Noella’s proud parents told Metro UK magazine. “She’s a tiny professional!”
“Okay,” I thought. “Whatever.” But when I saw the photo below, of her two trans parents, and learned that they had decided she had gender dysphoria when she was two and began her transition at age four, I felt deeply uneasy. Was Noella an example of true parental love? Or a victim of self-centered child exploitation?
You tell me…
