Some 250 woke Hollywood celebrities from movies, TV and music have signed their names to an open letter urging big tech companies to crack down on anyone who doesn\u2019t fall into line with the trans agenda, including advocating life changing gender surgeries on children.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter<\/a> was sent to the CEOs of Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter by GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and was signed by hundreds of famous names including Amy Schumer, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Jamie Lee Curtis, Judd Apatow, Patrick Stewart and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It states that \u201cThere has been a massive systemic failure to prohibit hate, harassment, and malicious anti-LGBTQ disinformation on your platforms and it must<\/em> be addressed,\u201d pointing to \u201cdangerous posts (both content and ads)\u2026 targeting transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis disinformation and hate, inadequately moderated on your platforms, plays an outsized role in the sharp increase in real-world anti-transgender targeting and violence,\u201d it continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter further decrees \u201cYour policies and<\/em> corresponding enforcement are inadequate when it comes to mitigating harmful and dangerous anti-LGBTQ content. You must urgently take action to protect trans and LGBTQ users on your platforms (including protecting us from over<\/em>-enforcement and censorship).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebrities specifically cite tech companies allowing people to engage in \u2018deadnaming\u2019 and \u2018misgendering\u2019 as a \u201cwidespread mode of hate speech across all platforms, utilized to bully and harass prominent public figures while simultaneously expressing hatred and contempt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter then demands to know what the tech companies are going to do to address \u201cContent that spreads malicious lies and disinformation about medically necessary healthcare for transgender youth.<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letter states that \u201cSpecific mitigations on such disinformation must be developed (for instance akin to election and COVID-19 mitigations and rules).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, essentially, censoring anyone who doesn\u2019t completely advocate removing the genitals of children and sterilising them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that the \u201cmitigations\u201d employed by big tech against people who expressed opinions on the 2020 election and COVID-19 that were in any way divergent to the establishment narrative were to censor and altogether remove them from the platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This included merely suggesting that the COVID lab leak theory, which is now the accepted probable reality of what happened by several government agencies and scientists, warranted an investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of one of the organisations behind this letter refused last week to acknowledge that there are differences between men and women:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has also previously aided Democrats in complaining that Twitter allows \u201cdangerous\u201d terms such as \u2018groomer\u2019 and \u2018pedophile,\u2019 to be openly used on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in the real world, a new poll<\/a> from Summit Ministries and McLaughlin & Associates has found that 61 percent of U.S. voters believe that introducing children to transgenderism, drag shows, and LGBTQ+ themes stunts their emotional and psychological development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The polls also found that 63 percent of respondents believe that those advocating for children to be exposed to these issues are motivated purely by a desire to push a specific cultural agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further poll<\/a> found that almost three quarters (73%) want businesses to stay neutral on political and cultural issues, including LGBTQ+, with just over half saying they support boycotting companies that aggressively market that agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those figures dovetail with another poll conducted by The Trafalgar Group<\/a> in partnership with Convention of States Action that found 62 percent want companies to remain neutral during Pride month, and that 41 percent say they have taken part in boycotting a company for taking woke public stances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
