The Media Research Center has unsurprisingly continued to hate transgender people since the last time we checked in. Chief transphobe Tierin-Rose Mandelburg had an obsession with transgender children being allowed to get an education. In November, Mandelburg freaked out over the possibility of an all-girls Catholic school admitting transgender students, ranting about the “woke mob” (whatever that is) and claiming without evidence that transgender students are sexual predators: “Many women attend Catholic all-girls schools to remain focused on their academics and further their relationship with God. But now, at Saint Mary’s College, not only will that be more difficult for women as they’ll not just be in the presence of like-minded ladies, but they’ll also be unsafe.” She also pretended to be a Bible scholar, claiming that “you can’t be Catholic and transgender. Living as a gender other than the one you were born with is antithetical to the Bible’s teachings.” When the school decided to block transgender students after all the following month, Mandelburg cheered, “Praise God that the decision was reversed – but honestly, it shouldn’t have ever been a decision in the first place.” She served up more performative outrage over another transgender child seeking an education in a Jan. 29 post:
The words “trans” and “four-year-old” should never ever be in the same sentence.
The Church of England’s primary school admitted a “transgender” child to its classes when the child was just four years old. Parents of the child have allowed and encouraged him to live life as a girl despite his biologically male identity and now, three years later, word is spreading.
According to a report by The Telegraph, the child’s biological sex was hidden from classmates but the administrative staff and teachers, and the parents (obviously, since they did this), were in the know. The child joined at age four and was admitted as a little girl.
Everyone was keeping the little boy’s secret until one of his friends, an actual little girl, found out her friend was actually a boy. The real little girl ended up suffering from stress-induced insomnia and constipation, her mother said, as well as having spurts of not talking or listening to the radio and episodes of hiding under tables.
All signs point to the fact that the little girl was suffering emotionally.
Mandelburg, meanwhile, is totally cool with the transgender child suffering emotionally, while even though she is pretending otherwise: “Now, I want to be clear that I honestly do feel bad for the “transgender child.” He should’ve never been allowed and encouraged to go down a route like this in the first place. But it’s 2024, and apparently the left thinks four-year-olds who can’t even tie their shoes can pick their own gender.”
Oh, please. Nobody believes that Mandelburg feels any sympathy for any transgender person — only hate and scorn.
Mandelburg used a Feb. 2 post to hype a video promoted by her fellow online transphobes claiming to show a child that “cries out in pain” from receiving a shot of puberty blockers, hyping a claim that the video shows “pure evil.” But it wasn’t until the 14th paragraph that Mandelburg noted part of the truth: the video was clipped from a 2012 NBC segment on the child’s transition. Further, as the Advocate reported, the video was taken out of context; the child’s reaction in the video stems from a common childhood fear of needles, not a reaction to the treatment.
A couple days later, Mandelburg promoted more narrative-friendly reporting, this time from an unlikely source:
Leave it to the New York Times to come out with what they think is riveting and groundbreaking content years after we came to the same conclusion.
The leftist opinion section at the Times posted a piece Friday talking about detransitioning. The piece titled, “As Kids, They Thought They Were Trans. They No Longer Do,” has garnered many on social media to say we told you so.
The opinion piece, written by their former Book Review editor Pamela Paul, tells the heartbreaking stories of how children were abused and neglected rather than nurtured which led to their transition and now, years later, their regret.
But as the Advocate also reported, the Times article contains numerous factual errors and presented dubious claims as sound science.
Mandelburg gushed in a Feb. 9 post:
Hate to say we told you so, but…
The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) just released a statement regarding transgender children. The Florida based group declared that, after extensive research, giving children gender affirming “care” has absolutely no benefits on the well-being of the child.
Say it a little louder for the people in the back.
[…]Dr. Jane Anderson, Vice President of ACPeds and lead author of the recent piece added a call to action for parents and medical professionals.
“We urge medical professionals and parents to affirm the truth about childhood gender dysphoria in the presence of harmful thoughts and address the underlying mental illness, adverse events, and family dysfunction,” she said.
[…]This group genuinely seeks the well-being of kids. Let’s hope the left, who seems to think they do the same, adopts this line of thinking and halts the mass destruction of young people’s healthy and able bodies.
Actually, ACPeds doesn’t really care about “the well-being of kids” — it’s a virulently anti-LGBT group who got caught manufacturing “evidence”junk science” attacking LGBT people to help its fellow right-wingers at groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom justify pushing anti-LGBT activism.
Mandelburg spent a Feb. 16 post ranting that a Catholic church permitted a funeral service for an icky transgender person:
On Thursday, New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral hosted a funeral for a transgender prostitute and self-proclaimed atheist Cecilia Gentili. Over 1,000 people gathered at the Catholic church to mourn the loss of the trannie who, according to the reverend running the service, “died with Christ.”
Oscar Diaz, who calls Gentili his mother, had the congregation decorated in red carnations and roses to give Gentili his “sainthood,” as Time Magazine reported.
St. Patrick’s Cathedral previously held services for notable public figures like Celia Cruz, Babe Ruth and Andy Warhol, but this is the first service to honor a transgender person – someone who didn’t believe in God, much less one who practiced the Catholic faith.
Gentili, a man who believed himself a woman, came to the United States in 2004 as an illegal immigrant. As Time Magazine wrote, “she turned to sex work and developed a drug addiction before being granted asylum eight years later.” Gentili then advocated for sex workers like himself to get healthcare, because being a prostitute merits free gifts like health coverage…apparently.
Though the cause of Gentili’s death hasn’t been named yet, I’m willing to make an educated guess – since he/she spent so much of his life fighting for sex workers before dying at only 52 years old.
[…]St. Patrick’s Cathedral admitted that it does its best to accommodate funeral requests from Catholic individuals. The church itself, though nestled nearby many gay-friendly Catholic parishes, does not admit to supporting that anti-Christlike lifestyle.
Spewing such vicious judgmental hate is not very Christ-like either, but Mandelburg ranted anyway: “This is a complete mockery of the Christian faith and is a major indicator of the destruction of morals and the attack on religion in America.”
Mandelburg spewed even more hate in a March 8 post ranting that transgender women are taking part in International Women’s Day:
Every freakin’ year I hope and pray that International Women’s Day will be a day where real, biological women, come together to celebrate the advancements and accomplishments women have made throughout the years and every freakin’ year I am disappointed that fake women try to get in on the action too.
March 8 marks International Women’s Day and, as you can probably imagine, the day is no longer just celebrated by women but by transgender women (men), too. This year, social media provided a smorgasbord of celebratory posts from girls, fake girls and everyone in between.
[…]It’s rather disheartening to see that one day meant to celebrate real, biological women is being flooded by fake women. Hopefully, during International Women’s Day 2025 we stop celebrating lunacy and delusion like transgenderism and start celebrating actual women for once.
We’re not disheartened that Mandelburg continues to spew anti-transgender hate, because the MRC pays her very well to subsidize that hate.
