Scott Newgent - The Truth About Transitioning Children from a Transman
My next guest, formerly Kellie King, was a formidable woman who seemed to have it all. A trailblazing sales executive, devoted mother of three, & a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.
But at the age of 42, Kellie's world was turned upside down. Urged by her devout Catholic partner & seconded by a health professional, Kellie begins to question her own gender identity. Kellie comes to believe she’s in fact a man trapped in a woman’s body & decides to undergo a wholesale medical Transition. Kelly King is now no more & in her place is Transman Scott Newgent.
But sadly, this is not a fairytale. Scott endured medical complication after complication. He lost absolutely everything – his relationship, his career, but most importantly his wellbeing. In a battle to survive, he went from one Emergency room to another, desperately trying to solve the mystery of why his health was failing him.
As he begins to recover from several near-death experiences, Scott delves into the world of Gender Affirming Care & Medical Transitions. He discovers that many others, particularly children, are being pushed to rapid Medical Transition which includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, & experimental surgeries that are being administered with insufficient warnings or adequate research.
Despite receiving death threats for speaking out, Scott is one of the loudest voices in the world calling for an immediate moratorium on the medical Transitioning of children, until they reach adulthood.
Scott, was recently featured in conservative commentator Matt Walsh’s film “What is a Woman?” that’s been watched over 177 million times & counting; becoming one of the most successful documentaries of all time. Walsh, who works for the Daily Wire, has publicly credited Scott as being the undisputed hero of the film.
Please note that this incredibly powerful & important episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS talks graphically about Trans issues, gender ideology, suicide & medical Transitions & isn’t remotely suitable for little ears.
