The risks associated with disseminating misinformation without directly reaching out to the source constitute defamation of character The media employs individuals, and not all of these individuals undergo thorough vetting. Even those who are vetted may have acquaintances, and if you or a friend of theirs encounter an issue or seek to expose the actions of their organization against you or your own organization, they will ensure your voice is silenced before you can share your narrative. They accomplish this by publishing an article aimed at discrediting you and your organization. Those who disseminate this information often refuse to retract it, as they do not wish to appear deceitful or be held accountable for propagating what they believed to be true. This phenomenon extends all the way to politics, where human rights employees may join in spreading false information. When the truth eventually emerges, these same employees attempt to suppress it due to their prior actions, leaving the defamed organization in an even more precarious position Black Trans Texas Connection Future Front This narrative illustrates the perilous nature of leftist organizations and the significant damage they inflict on marginalized groups. Should you express disagreement with one of them, they will undermine your organization, defaming you while operating covertly. They will catch you off guard, leaving you defenseless, as you were blindsided by their actions. They reach out to other organizations you are unaware of and leverage their substantial media influence to publish false articles about you, disseminating lies that leave you with no opportunity to defend yourself. The situation escalates so rapidly that by the time you discover who is responsible and seek a meeting, they have already blocked you, preventing any chance of communication. Those you attempt to contact have propagated such significant falsehoods that even in a meeting, the magnitude of the lie makes it too risky for them to publicly acknowledge their mistake. They may have believed the misinformation at the time, but upon realizing its inaccuracy, they refuse to take responsibility, understanding that it would reflect poorly on their organization. Rather than assisting and revealing the truth, they choose to join the collective effort to silence your group, ensuring they also reach out to other organizations to prevent you from receiving interviews or any form of exposure, perpetuating the cycle of misinformation.

I am trans I live in fear in Texas. Our governor hates trans people and he has made that public. I am disappointed and upset that trans people are not allowed access to the resources. Trans people need Thrive House and where are politicians and organizations that have the resources that claim to be in solidarity with trans people why are they not sharing these vital resources for trans health care or in this case for thrive house shelter. Funding thrive house will save many lives. Charlotte W. 10-19-2025
