Mother claims her 10-year-old son ‘knew since birth’ that he was ‘transgender’

From LifeSiteNews
Transgender activist mother Michelle Callahan-DuMont claims her 10-year-old son, who lives as a girl named ‘Violet,’ ‘knew since birth’ that he was a girl and ‘told us when [he] was one and a half.’
Arizona parents of a “transgender” child hailed by the media as an example of the alleged cruelty of laws protecting children from dangerous “gender transition” procedures began indoctrinating their son into gender confusion when he was less than two years old, The Daily Signal has found.
On December 4, CNN interviewed Michelle Callahan-DuMont and her ten-year-old son, who lives as a girl named “Violet.” The boy said that being a so-called “transgender kid” in 2024 America feels “that I’m going to be, like, murdered. Like, one day, I’m going to be walking down the street and somebody’s going to come up and like shoot me or something.”
CNN’s Lucy Kafanov defended transgender interventions for minors, including hormones and puberty blockers, “as deeply personal, intimate decisions” and “a chance” for gender-confused children.
However, the Signal caught up with the mother outside the U.S. Supreme Court, where she was protesting a possible ruling that states have the right to prohibit underage “transitions.” Callahan-DuMont claimed that her son “knew since birth” that he was really a girl. The boy “told us when [he] was one and a half. [He’s] been telling us since [he] could speak,” she said.
The mother is also a pro-transgender activist who maintains Instagram and Threads accounts highlighting Violet and so-called “trans kids” advocacy.

Outside of LGBT activist circles, claiming a child decided he or she was the wrong sex before even being able to fully communicate, let alone understand the concept of biological sex to any significant extent, is widely recognized as a sign of activist parents imposing transgenderism on them.
A significant body of evidence shows that “affirming” gender confusion carries serious harms, especially when done with impressionable children who lack the mental development, emotional maturity, and life experience to consider the long-term ramifications of the decisions being pushed on them or full knowledge about the long-term effects of life-altering, physically transformative, and often irreversible surgical and chemical procedures.
Studies find that more than 80 percent of children suffering gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence, and that “transition” procedures fail to resolve gender-confused individuals’ heightened tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide – and even exacerbate it, including by reinforcing their confusion and neglecting the actual root causes of their mental strife.
Many oft-ignored detransitioners attest to the physical and mental harm of reinforcing gender confusion, as well as to the bias and negligence of the medical establishment on the subject, many of whom take an activist approach to their profession and begin cases with a predetermined conclusion in favor of “transitioning.”
So-called “gender-affirming” physicians have also been caught on video admitting to more old-fashioned motives for such procedures, as with an 2022 exposé about Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Clinic for Transgender Health, where Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor said outright that “these surgeries make a lot of money.”
So far, observers believe the Supreme Court is poised to side with the states and uphold their ability to prohibit surgical and chemical “gender reassignment” procedures on minors.

Older man arrested at Kirk shooting admits to protecting real gunman

Quick Hit:
Chaos followed the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk when police first arrested a 71-year-old man who confessed he was only trying to distract them from the real shooter.
Key Details:
- George Zinn, 71, was arrested after yelling, “I shot him, now shoot me!” but later admitted he was trying to mislead police.
- The real suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was arrested Thursday night and identified publicly Friday morning.
- Zinn was charged with obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony, while Robinson faces charges as the alleged assassin.
Diving Deeper:
Charlie Kirk, one of the most prominent young leaders in the conservative movement, was assassinated in a brazen political attack that shocked supporters nationwide. Instead of immediately capturing the real suspect, police initially detained George Zinn, a man with a long history of causing disruptions at political events and protests.
Video of Zinn being handcuffed quickly spread, leading many to believe the threat had been neutralized. But Zinn’s arrest was a diversion — one that he admitted to orchestrating in order to shield the real shooter. He told police he wanted to “draw attention from the real shooter,” an action that delayed accountability and nearly allowed a dangerous criminal to evade justice longer.
Zinn’s background only adds to the picture. As the Salt Lake Tribune noted, he has a history of disrupting events — from political speeches to cultural gatherings like the Sundance Film Festival. His disruptive activism fits a pattern of left-wing agitators who thrive on chaos, and in this case, he played a role in protecting an assassin.

Unite the Kingdom Rally: demonstrators take to the streets in historical numbers to demand end to mass migration in the UK

If you haven’t been following the emergence of controversial UK journalist Tommy Robinson, you should try not to skip ahead to the aerial shot of what is likely the largest rally in modern UK history.
To even begin to understand the scope of the passion and to comprehend the numbers of English people who attended the “Unite the Kingdom Rally” in London on Saturday, some background information will be very helpful.
Like many western nations, Britain has seen an historical influx of immigrants. With millions of new immigrants competing for housing, medical care, and government resources, very serious issues are bound to arise. It makes you wonder how a government could or why a government would allow this to happen.
The following video shows very well what has taken place in terms of how many people have arrived in recent years, and who they are.
As the presenter showed, most of these migrants are from non European Union nations. Many are from Muslim nations. That means even in a highly multi-cultural nation like the UK, towns and cities are facing the cultural challenges of suddenly hosting a significant minority of young Muslim men.
Enter the most controversial political figure in Britain, Tommy Robinson. Robinson’s hometown of Luton, Bedfordshire, England, was one of the first communities in the UK to see a significant percentage of Muslim population. According to Robinson he noticed his childhood schoolyard and lunchrooms were divided into two separate groups, the traditional English (white Europeans, people from India, and the Caribbean, etc) and the Muslims.
As he got older Robinson claims he started to see a number of young girls being ‘recruited’ by older Muslim men into the drug culture, and becoming sexual partners for multiple Muslim men, including prominent members of the community. When Robinson started to speak out publicly he was hit with a wall of official denials. He would go on to challenge the authorities for years, becoming a citizen journalist and eventually an enemy of the state. If you watch his documentary series called The Rape of Britain you will understand just what he’s been claiming for about 15 years.
Fast forward to September of 2025. The streets of many cities in the UK resemble Robinson’s hometown of Luton. Robinson’s followers have multiplied from hundreds to thousands, to potentially millions. The situation has caught the attention of President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk. On the weekend, untold thousands of Britons took to the streets of London for Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom March”, a massive rally for free speech and British identity.
The guardian reported "110k" at our London rally today.
Yet, literally had their own helicopter showing the millions of patriots 🤡
Legacy media proving again they'll just lie to your face for their own agenda.
This is why nobody trusts them.

Without watching Robinson’s documentaries and journalism it can be difficult to understand the passion of his presentation from Saturday. The growing thousands and millions in the UK understand. Those who do not are very likely swayed by the media and government establishment who are trying desperately and less successfully by the day to brand Robinson as a Far Right racist.

Tommy Robinson appeared to be losing the battle for public opinion until Elon Musk stepped in. Robinson was in jail last January when Musk took note and used his incredible social media reach to bring Robinson’s struggle to a much wider audience.
Free Tommy Robinson!@TRobinsonNewEra

The owner of the X platform addressed the crowd via video link. In the days following the public execution of Charlie Kirk, Musk condemned the left as “the party of murder” and accused Britain’s political establishment of weaponizing mass migration to reshape the electorate.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer was quick to denounce the march while Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the vast majority of demonstrators are “good, ordinary decent people” voicing legitimate concerns about mass migration and the safety of British streets. At least 25 arrests were made Saturday and police say four police officers were seriously injured.
As for Tommy Robinson, he likely over achieved any expectations he had for this rally and now both he and the UK authorities are planning their next moves.
