Things continue to go from bad to worse for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who now faces a revolt amongst some of her own staff in favor of President Donald Trump.
This Wednesday, President Trump’s Federal Trade Commission will host a workshop where experts are expected to speak out against the so-called “gender affirming care” industry.
According to reports, Glenna Goldis, who has served as an assistant attorney general from James’ office, will be in attendance at the event.
The move is shocking as James and Democrats have long been fierce defenders of transgender procedures on minors.
However Goldis, a self-described “lefty lesbian lawyer,” is outspoken against the dangers of “woke” gender ideology pushed on children by transgender activists, according to a recent report from The Daily Wire.
According to Goldis, who spoke directly with The Daily Wire, she will participate in the workshop in her personal capacity and is well aware that her positions on gender ideology put her at odds with James.
“You can see in the public record that my employer has taken positions that are supportive of pediatric gender medicine,” Goldis said in a phone interview with The Daily Wire.
“You can see in the public record that Letitia James’ view is not my view.”
James has not only spoken in support of what she calls “gender-affirming care,” but she’s taken legal action against Trump’s efforts to protect children from transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers.
James called the policies “cruel, discriminatory, dangerous, and not based on science or law,” pushing the falsehood that transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers for children are “medically necessary” as she argued that “every young person deserves access to medically necessary care without government interference.”
Goldis says she’s “motivated by the fact that I’ve seen so many other people silenced, especially people who are similar to me,.”
She says, in many ways, “we are the people who are most silenced in America right now on this issue.”
“I want to end that, I want to break the taboo,” Goldis added.
“There’s a taboo out there which is just performing so much work for the gender doctors. The healthcare industry is able to make all this money and pass off all these lies because there’s a taboo against criticizing it. And so I want to smash that taboo.”
Goldis’ presence at the upcoming workshop is a significant shift in politics back towards reality, which left-wing activists claim is just for conservatives.
Wednesday’s coalition includes Goldis, but it also includes detransitioners like Chole Cole and Prisha Mosley, women who attempted to transition to become men as teenagers, medical whistleblowers Jamie Reed, Eithan Haim, and Vanessa Sivadge, conservative experts and leaders like Jay Richards of the Heritage Foundation and Terry Schilling of the American Principles Project, and more.
Goldis herself even said that she is tired of leftists suggesting that men and women who identify as gay are in complete agreement with transgender transitioning for children.
“I think it’s especially important for gay people to speak out,” she said.
“One of the big tools that trans advocates have used since the 1990s to normalize what they’re doing and to build public support is to pretend that they have something in common with gay people. And if gay people ever speak out and say, ‘Well, I don’t think that’s quite true,’ then they get clobbered. This has been true, like I said, for decades.”
