“Sex – with and for children, a reality we allow”

The LGBT lobby

Let homosexuals, queers, heterosexuals and everyone else have their orientation and their fantasies in private and in agreement with each other. But don't involve children, not in the streets, not in schools and libraries - not anywhere in public space. So writes the Swedish Veidos Health Center.

This is an opinion piece. The author is responsible for the views expressed in the article.

We set age limits on films and computer games and take it for granted that this should be the case. Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to work/ do holiday work, and children from 13 are allowed to do only light work. We have a 15-year limit on the purchase of energy drinks and a 20-year limit on the purchase of alcoholic beverages at the Systembolaget (state retail shop selling wines and spirits). You have to be 18 years old to get a driving licence, because before that you are not considered mature enough to drive a vehicle. All with the aim of protecting the well-being of our children, not exposing them to things they are not mature enough to handle and thus safeguarding their physical and mental health.

But we allow adult men who dress in women’s clothes and introduce themselves with obscene names to read stories to our children in kindergartens and public libraries. Parents taking their children to Pride events to see adults dressed in minimal leather outfits, humping in the streets or pretending to be animals is allowed without protest or age limits. Serious discussions are held about the right of children to “change gender” without parental consent. Children should be able to decide their gender and thus their pronouns, i.e. how they want others to address them.

We set age limits on films and computer games and take it for granted that this should be the case.

Parents, in the true spirit of responsibility, set limits on bedtime, what children eat and drink, what they can watch on TV, how much screen time is allowed and that they should wear clothes according to the weather. Don’t we do this to protect our children’s health and well-being, because it is important that we take responsibility for ensuring that our children can grow up in a healthy and empowering way before they are adults and mature enough to make their own decisions, determine the number of hours of sleep, what food they eat and so on?

It seems, incomprehensibly, that in real life it is not as important to enforce frameworks or age limits against exposing our children to the sight of leather-clad adults indulging in sexual perversions as it is to enforce age limits against pornographic or sexual content in films. It is equally incomprehensible that we want to insist, sometimes even encourage, that it is “normal” for underage children to “choose their own gender” and pronouns, while they are not mature enough, from a health point of view, to drink caffeinated beverages, choose their own bedtimes, go to work or cross a busy street by themselves. Where has healthy adult responsibility gone?

Children have the right to be children

Pride week has now passed again and the debate has been loud about whether or not the Pride movement and the LGBTQ lobby are promoting the sexualisation of children and the legalisation of paedophilia.

Björn Söder (Sweden Democrats) was accused by the government, his own ranks in the Sweden Democrats and the media of making “sweeping accusations” against the Pride event when he points to its close and now open links to paedophilia and lobbying for children to be legally part of the sexual activities of perverted adults.

However, neither the government nor the media say anything about actively distancing themselves from paedophilia, but merely counter with “love for all” and continue to celebrate Pride. Is this to be interpreted as meaning that paedophiles are fully entitled to “love” even if a child is harmed, for example by having the paedophile’s penis inserted into their vagina or anal opening? What right does the child have to a safe upbringing among sane adults who let the child be a child, without the interference of perverted adults whom our government apparently wants to give the legal right to express their “love and affection” at will?

Neither the government nor the media say anything about actively distancing themselves from paedophilia, but merely counter with “love for all” and continue to celebrate Pride.

There is no substantive response to the question at all. Probably because they know that the “sweeping accusations” are true. It should be emphasised that the issue is not about which sexual orientation is the right one or which should prevail. Sexual orientation is a private matter and what two adults, or more, do in agreement with each other is entirely up to them. This is about not involving children in the sexual proclivities, fantasies or perversions of adults.

For example, did you know that:

  • RFSL (the Swedish nation-wide association for equal sexual rights) has openly stated that paedophilia “is a way of giving love and affection to children”?
  • RFSL’s own travel guide Spartacus is used as a guide for paedophiles looking for children abroad?
  • Several LGBT activists with links to Pride and RFSL have been convicted of sexual offences against children and child pornography offences?
  • RFSL’s founder claims that “sex with children can be a good thing”?
  • The magazine ‘Come out’ reported that two out of three male homosexuals want to have sex with young boys?
  • Stockholm Pride recruited people convicted of child rape?
  • Paedophilia activist Kjell Rindar opening speech at Pride festival?

Why is it so important to bombard our children and young people with the LGBTQ lobby’s insistence on various sexual, more or less perverse, orientations? Why is it necessary to let children see humping leather-clad “animals”? Why do we not discuss or even reflect on whether and how it might be harmful to our children, physically and/or psychologically, to be exposed to, if only the sight of, the sexual perversions that some self-determining adults have chosen to identify with?

Let children be children. Let them be boys and girls. Let them grow up without perverse sexual elements and gender crisis lobbying. Let heterosexuals, homosexuals, gender binaries, transsexuals, queers and everyone else have their orientation, their fantasies and their sexual relationships in private and in consent with each other – but do not involve our, your or anyone else’s children in it. Not in streets and squares, not in schools and libraries, not anywhere in public space.

EU grants hundreds of millions to gender ideology organizations

The LGBT lobby

Published 21 March 2025
– By Editorial Staff
“NGOs have played a direct role in drafting EU gender policies”, the report's author stresses.

The European Union has long provided over €200 million in grants to organizations promoting gender ideology, according to a new report by the think tank MCC Brussels. This has raised questions about the EU’s priorities and use of citizens’ tax money.

The report, authored by sociologist Ashley Frawley of MCC Brussels, shows that between 2014 and 2021, the EU has funded 258 organizations working on LGBTQ issues and the promotion of gender ideology, UnHerd reports.

Based on figures for the period 2014 – 2023, the organizations have received around €221 million in grants.

The largest grantee for the period 2014 – 2023 was ILGA Worldwide, which received €64.95 million for its advocacy work on gender identity. Other recipients included its European branch, ILGA-Europe (€16 million), the international LGBTQ organization IGLYO (€6 million), Transgender Europe (TGEU) (€4.6 million), the Lesbian Feminist and Intersectional Network (€6.2 million) and Intersex International Europe (€1.2 million).

Ashley Frawley commented on the report: “NGOs use EU funding to pressure national governments into adopting gender identity laws, bypassing national sovereignty”.

“Dictated by unelected activists”

Frawley argues that EU policies, originally designed to protect women and girls, have been reshaped to prioritize gender identity issues instead. Frawley believes that the policy has been “dictated by unelected activists rather than open national debates”.

– NGOs have played a direct role in drafting EU gender policies, frequently operating without public transparency.

The report highlights that many of the funded organizations are actively working to influence EU policies and legislation. This raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and democratic legitimacy.

Among the largest recipients of EU funding is the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), which has received over €30 million. IPPF is controversial because of its involvement in abortion issues and sex education for children.

– They have redefined gender to have a very weak relationship with biological sex, and then they emphasize gender over sex, Frawley told The Epoch Times.

MCC Brussels: Violating the principle of neutrality

The think tank argues that funding organizations like these goes against the EU’s principle of neutrality on ethical issues. They argue that the Union should focus on more pressing economic and social challenges.

The conservative think tank ECLJ is also critical of EU policies in several areas and has previously published expert reports on freedom of expression, digital laws and EU climate policy. The MCC Brussels report is thus part of ECLJ’s ongoing review of EU policies and priorities.

The debate on the EU’s funding of gender ideology organizations is expected to intensify in light of the report, with questions of transparency, accountability and priorities in the EU’s budget allocation coming into focus.

It is worth noting that MCC Brussels is a think tank linked to the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), which has received funding from the Hungarian government under Viktor Orbán.

Critics, such as Corporate Europe Observatory, have questioned the independence and transparency of the think tank regarding its funding and lobbying activities.

Trump bans gender-altering treatments for children

Donald Trump's USA

Published 30 January 2025
– By Editorial Staff
Trump points out that many of the children who undergo gender reassignment treatments soon regret it.

Donald Trump has signed an executive order to severely restrict “chemical and surgical” gender reassignment surgery on minors in the United States.

Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions”, reads the order, which is titled “Protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation”,

This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end“, the President states.

The President-elect also believes that large numbers of children who have undergone FGM will soon begin to regret their mutilation and “begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding”.

Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization”, the order continues.

Sweden pushed through “gender reassignment law”

Trump decides that US policy will continue to be not to fund, sponsor, promote, assist or support the so-called transition of a child from the biological to the perceived sex, and to strictly enforce all laws that prohibit or restrict these “destructive and life-altering procedures“.

US health authorities will also be tasked with developing strategies on how to work instead to improve the mental well-being of children suffering from gender dysphoria or similar “identity-based confusion”.

Trump’s views on children and gender reassignment treatments contrast sharply with those of the Swedish government. Last year, Prime Minister Ulf Krisersson was a driving force behind the passage of a new “Gender Identity Act” which, among other things, lowered the age limit for changing legal gender from 18 to 16 and removed the requirement for a medical examination before treatment.

All parties except SD and KD supported this liberalization, and representatives of the Moderate Party warned that they had been pressured by the top party leadership to vote for the law – and that they otherwise risked reprisals of various kinds.

Trump bans transgender individuals from military service

The LGBT lobby

Published 29 January 2025
– By Editorial Staff
If the US military is to be effective, trans ideology must be “thrown out”, says the US President.

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to eliminate what he describes as “trans ideology” in the US military. According to Trump, the order aims to ensure a stronger and more effective fighting force.

The order states that the expression of a gender identity that differs from biological sex is not consistent with military norms and obligations.

To ensure that we have the most lethal fighting force in the world, we will get transgender ideology the hell out of our military”, Trump said, according to AFP news agency.

The document further emphasizes that the adoption of a gender identity that is not consistent with biological sex violates a soldier’s duty to live an honorable, truthful and disciplined life, even off duty.

A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member”, the order states.

Biden revamped the policy

Beyond the trans issue, the presidential order includes a broader update to medical criteria for military service. The Pentagon is asked to update guidelines on physical and mental health requirements to ensure that only those who are fully combat-capable are accepted for service.

Among the health conditions identified as potentially disqualifying are mental illnesses, extensive medication, bipolar diagnoses, eating disorders, suicidal tendencies, and a history of psychiatric treatment. According to the administration, these factors can affect a soldier’s readiness and ability to perform their duties under extreme conditions.

Trump’s decision builds on his previous directive from 2017, which barred transgender people from openly serving in the military. That policy was rescinded by the Biden administration in 2021, but Trump’s new order now reinstates a more restrictive stance.

While the order does not immediately ban transgender people from serving, it tasks the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security with reviewing medical guidelines and presenting an action plan to implement the changes.

Wanting to reform the army

Meanwhile, the decision has already been met with legal challenges. Lobbying organizations working for transgender rights have filed a lawsuit against the order in a federal court in Washington.

The Department of Defense has assured in a statement that despite the left-liberal criticism, it will implement the president’s order in accordance with national security objectives.

We will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the executive orders issued by the president, ensuring that they are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and in alignment with national security objectives“, reads the statement from the Pentagon.

Trump’s action is part of a broader effort to reform the US military. In addition to the trans issue, his recently signed executive order also includes an air defense buildup and plans to develop a US version of Israel’s Iron Dome.

Milei: “Woke ideology is the cancer that must be cured”

The globalist agenda

Published 27 January 2025
– By Editorial Staff
Javier Milei argues that those who advocate gender ideology in its most extreme form are considered “pedophiles”.

At last week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Argentina’s libertarian president Javier Milei gave a fiery speech condemning what he called the “mental virus of woke ideology” that is dominating and destroying the West.

– This is the great epidemic of our time that must be cured. This is the cancer we need to get rid of, he proclaimed.

The Argentine leader argued that the fundamental values of Western civilization, such as respect for life and liberty, freedom of expression and freedom of religion, made possible the industrial revolution that lifted “90% of the global population out of poverty”.

At the same time, he sees “woke” as the disease that will destroy everything the people of the West hold dear.

– This ideology has colonized the world’s most important institutions – from the political parties and governments of leading Western nations to global governance organizations, even NGOs, universities and media outlets.

– Western civilization – and even the human species – will not be able to return to the path of progress demanded by our pioneering spirit. It is essential to break these ideological chains if we want to usher in a new golden age, he continued.

“They are pedophiles”

Milei also did not hold back when talking about gender ideology. He strongly criticized the left for its radical policies in this area and denounced leaders who are “attempting to impose the idea that women are men and men are women simply based on self-perception”.

– They say nothing about when a man dresses as a woman and kills his opponent in a boxing ring, or when a male prison inmate claims to be a woman and ends up sexually assaulting women in prison.

Milei cited the example of a same-sex couple in Georgia who were jailed last month for abusing and selling their adopted boys to a pedophile ring.

– I want to be clear when I say abuse. This is no euphemism, because in its most extreme forms, gender ideology is outright child abuse. They are pedophiles, the President declared.

“Will be condemned”

The transgender movement and the fact that many states now allow children to undergo gender reassignment treatments were also harshly criticized.

– Healthy children are being irreversibly harmed through hormone treatments and mutilation, as if a 5-year-old child could possibly consent to such things, and should their family not agree to this, there will always be state agents ready to step in in favor of what they call the best interests of the child.

– Only now are we beginning to see the effects of an entire generation that has mutilated their bodies, encouraged by a culture of sexual relativism, and these people will have to spend their entire lives in psychiatric treatment to cope with what they have done to themselves. Yet no one dares to speak about these issues.

An outspoken pro-Israel libertarian, Milei became president in 2023 and says he is optimistic about his country’s future. However, he is very worried about what will happen to the West as a whole if the institutionalized cultural Marxist ideology is not fought.

Believe me, the scandalous experiments in the name of this criminal ideology will be condemned and likened to those committed in the darkest periods in our history, he predicts.

“A collective suicide”

The eccentric leader also argued that immigration is actually a very good and necessary thing and what built both the US and Argentina. Today, however, the wrong kind of migrants are coming something that risks bringing down the entire Western world.

– Since the West is supposedly the root cause of all of the world’s evils in history, it must redeem itself by opening its borders to everyone, which leads to a form of reverse colonization that resembles collective suicide.

– So, this is how we now see images of hordes of immigrants who abuse, assault, or even kill European citizens, whose only sin was not adhering to a particular religion. But when someone questions these situations, they are immediately labelled racists, xenophobic or even Nazis, he states.
