The full-block fluff prompted backlash from <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/10\/matt-walsh-fox-news-segment-praising-child-sex-experimentation-is-horrifying-evil-and-sick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prominent conservative voices<\/a> for celebrating sex experiments that lead to \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/abigailshrier.substack.com\/p\/not-a-kitchen-table-issue-jen-psaki?s=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sexual dysfunction, infertility, cardiac event[,] endometrial cancer<\/a>,\u201d and even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/sex-change-regret\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transition regret<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most disturbing detail to surface, however, is that Jeff and Hillary Whittington started projecting radical transgender ideology on Ryland before she could even talk. <\/p>\n<p>This kind of imposition by parents and <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/01\/31\/pediatricians-speak-medical-professions-utter-lack-caution-trans-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cmedical professionals\u201d<\/a> on children is currently under scrutiny from multiple Republican-led states, including <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/02\/florida-medicaid-deems-experimental-mutilative-sex-surgeries-hormones-insufficiently-safe-for-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florida<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasattorneygeneral.gov\/news\/releases\/ag-paxton-declares-so-called-sex-change-procedures-children-and-prescription-puberty-blockers-be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas<\/a>. That criticism, however, hasn\u2019t stopped people like the Whittingtons from making money from their decision to permanently alter their child\u2019s body and mind because a young Ryland, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ooTITuvb1YU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">received a deaf diagnosis as a baby<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/10\/07\/health\/transgender-child-raising-ryland\/index.html\">showed<\/a> an \u201caversion to anything feminine\u201d and would scream \u201c\u2018I\u2019m a boy!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also hasn\u2019t stopped corporate media outlets like Fox from profiting from elevating stories of children on the path to permanent, life-changing, and often detrimental alterations. <\/p>\n<p>The Whittingtons first publicized their decision to raise female Ryland as a boy in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yAHCqnux2fk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube video<\/a> in 2014. The video, featuring photos and home videos of Ryland as a little girl before her parents cut her hair and dressed her like a boy, quickly went viral. <\/p>\n<p>Since its publication, the video has recorded more than 8 million views and served as the inspiration for several TV segments and articles by corporate media outlets such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pz6vmCJq8sE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ABC News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fcD5NOIalQo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pZ_hkxGdkew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local<\/a> CBS News, and stations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gx4dOxYdghQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local<\/a> to Southern California where the family resides. <\/p>\n<p>Because the Whittingtons were willing to sacrifice their child\u2019s privacy for views on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raisingryland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, television, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hillary.whittington\">social media<\/a>, they\u2019ve been hailed by journos at CNN, Fox News, and other corporate media outlets as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fW8SgMyXs7E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cincredibly brave\u201d<\/a> for showing <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BryanLlenas\/status\/1535341897522323456?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cextraordinary courage \u2026 particularly at a time when transgender issues have been politicized.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>CNN, in particular, wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2015\/03\/18\/living\/feat-transgender-child-raising-ryland\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">several articles<\/a> celebrating the family\u2019s decision to pretend that Ryland, a minor, is a boy. In 2015, shortly before the Whittingtons began exploiting Ryland\u2019s struggles in the form of a book called \u201cRaising Ryland: Our Story of Parenting a Transgender Child With No Strings Attached,\u201d CNN featured the family in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/us\/2015\/03\/17\/digital-shorts-parenting-transgender-child-orig.cnn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a short film<\/a> designed to encourage parents like the Whittingtons to lean into their child\u2019s \u201cI don\u2019t like to wear dresses\u201d phase, frightening parents scared of unreliable <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/14\/transgender-activists-use-unreliable-surveys-to-emotionally-blackmail-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-harm and suicide statistics<\/a> into promoting transgenderism.<\/p>\n<p>The film even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RaisingRyland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has its own promotional Facebook page.<\/a> Multiple publishing companies including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-P81vVf3wyU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harpers Collins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=02W8hsu4kpA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">William Morrow<\/a> also ran advertisements promoting Hillary\u2019s book featuring personal details about Ryland\u2019s childhood. <\/p>\n<p>The family was also boosted by LGBT activists and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b5TImSU4zuM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">organizations<\/a> including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glaad.org\/blog\/video-one-familys-beautiful-support-their-trans-son-ryland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one<\/a> set up in honor of a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/09\/while-losing-wars-u-s-military-celebrates-pederast-harvey-milk\/\">known pervert<\/a>, Harvey Milk. <\/p>\n<p>The Whittingtons are not isolated in their decision to turn their child\u2019s confusion into a public relations campaign for LGBT activism. Take a look at Jazz Jennings, the male child who was pushed into dressing like a girl at a young age. When Jazz\u2019s parents publicized his story, news outlets picked it up and TLC offered the Jennings family a show.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cI Am Jazz\u201d show documents the young adult\u2019s confusion, mental, and <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/01\/02\/jazz-jennings-proud-to-show-off-gender-confirmation-surgery-scars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">physical health issues<\/a>, many of which LGBT activists claim will be fixed by chemically castrating and mutilating children. <\/p>\n<p>Ryland\u2019s mom said she felt like <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/quNVHMKfDmw?t=1905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201ca child abuser\u201d<\/a> for trying to stuff her protesting daughter into frilly outfits. But when it came to publicly denying Ryland\u2019s sex and agreeing to a future of irreversible castration and mutilation that comes with accepting the anti-biology movement, she was all for it.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate media <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/13\/corporate-media-celebrates-the-exponential-rise-of-the-transgender-craze-it-helped-create\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">helped create the transgender craze,<\/a> which is why outlets are so comfortable promoting families who cash in on their children\u2019s problems. Instead of balking at the idea of manipulating children\u2019s bodies based on whims expressed as toddlers, media outlets plaster transgender models on the covers of magazines, boost stories about <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/12\/21\/kindergartner-claire-didnt-want-to-wear-a-skirt-one-day-mom-nbc-now-call-her-clark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">parents deceiving their children into believing things antithetical to science<\/a>, and throw massive tantrums when Republicans say <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/30\/disney-executives-admit-of-course-were-grooming-your-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disney<\/a> and schools shouldn\u2019t be teaching five-year-olds about drag queens or any sexual content. Even the Associated Press has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/feature\/nbc-out\/ap-stylebook-embraces-they-singular-gender-neutral-pronoun-n739076\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">officially welcomed plural pronouns<\/a> used for a singular person as fact. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s bad enough that Ryland and kids like her will never live normal lives because their parents sacrificed their privacy for profit and political points. But the corporate media\u2019s hunger for exploiting stories like Ryland\u2019s makes it thousands of times worse and only feeds a craze that\u2019s hurting an increasingly <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/389792\/lgbt-identification-ticks-up.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">large percentage of the youngest generation<\/a>. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
