The producer of a documentary defending Dr. Anthony Fauci’s contributions to public health is bragging about raising a transgender 11-year-old under the “threat” of President Donald Trump.
New York-based filmmaker and commentator Ali Moss spoke out on Sunday about taking her child to an LGBTQ rally in the latest of multiple opinion articles. Moss helped produce the 2021 Disney documentary “Fauci” defending the former health official’s scandal-ridden career and has written extensively about raising her daughter who supposedly “came out” as a boy before she was ten and putting her under medical intervention.
Moss wrote about bringing her “son,” whom she described anonymously as “E.,” to a recent rally near the Stonewall Inn in New York City in a Sunday Huffington Post article. The gay bar became a symbol of resistance for the LGBTQ movement after riots against police in 1969.
“I’d taken E. there two years ago, shortly after he came out, to teach him about those who came before and place his experience in the context of history,” Moss wrote.
Moss did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Moss’s article recounted her daughter getting “inspired” to take the stage with LGBTQ activists, wearing a “cape that marked him as a trans superhero” and drawing applause by declaring, “To all the trans and nonbinary kids out there — you are not alone.”
The filmmaker shared in a February op-ed that the looming threat of a second Trump presidency drove her and her husband to speed up their daughter’s transition in November, when Trump won reelection. She said they “changed his legal name and gender marker, updated his passport, amended his birth certificate, scheduled surgery to implant a longer-acting puberty blocker” — all “to safeguard him.”
Several adults approached Moss’s child at the rally “to voice their pride in him and let him know the community has his back,” Moss wrote. “So I had achieved my aim after all.”
Moss’s writings sparked concern from Colorado physician Travis Morrell, a senior fellow for the medical ethics group Do No Harm.
“Mom and dad’s job is to help kids safely deal with reality, not to pretend the imaginary can become real,” Morrell told the DCNF. “Parents protect kids by saying no to harmful demands.”
“Still, my heart breaks for the parents who encourage these harms, because they are told they must forget childhood memories, and even bury the names they gave their own children,” Morrell said. “Many parents will soon watch their kids struggle through adult relationships, troubled by scars their parents demanded.”
Moss said Trump administration policies such as telling schools not to teach gender ideology to children resembles Adolf Hitler’s treatment of Jews before his “Final Solution.”
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that President Trump is running plays straight out of Hitler’s playbook,” she wrote.
Multiple studies, medical professionals and health officials around the world have acknowledged that puberty blockers come with health risks such as the high possibility of sterilization.
“Gender medicine doesn’t help—not in any of the best studies—but we know it changes the body in lasting, harmful ways,” Morrell told the DCNF.
“Much of the fault lies on doctors, who completely know better,” he said.
