In this episode of "From the Heart: Voice of a Conservative American Woman," host RuthAnn Hogue speaks with Kristy Pandora Greczowski, a transgender activist since 2015, about the Supreme Court's ruling on June 18, 2025, regarding United States v. Skrmetti.
This case concerns a Tennessee law (SB1) that prohibits doctors from providing certain medical treatments, such as puberty blockers or hormones, to minors for gender transition, while still allowing them for other medical reasons like birth defects or diseases. The Supreme Court upheld the Tennessee law, ruling it does not unfairly discriminate and is constitutional.
Kristy Pandora, who identifies as a man who presents as feminine and has been living as a transgender woman since 2010, shares her unique perspective on this ruling. She supports the law, believing it protects minors from medical treatments they may not fully understand and stands with parents who want to shield their children from what she calls "the dark side of the rainbow." Kristi emphasizes that "transgender" has become an "ideological trap word" and an "umbrella term" that has appropriated the medical condition of gender dysphoria. She argues that the far left has used this term to push a "pseudo-religious ideological social construct redesign of gender and sexuality."
Kristy also shares her personal experiences with transition, noting that it's an adult decision that requires a full understanding of one's body, mentality, psyche, and spirituality, which children cannot fully grasp. She raises concerns about the long-term effects of hormone replacement therapy and surgeries, including bone loss and emotional struggles, and criticizes the current system for lacking proper diagnostics and accountability for detransitioning individuals. She states that there's no such thing as a "trans kid" because even adults in the trans community don't agree on the social construct of gender.
Kristy advocates for counseling and a shift in federal funding towards the diagnostic and mental health aspects of gender dysphoria, separating it from ideological belief systems. She believes parents should have control over their children's ideological direction regarding gender. Kristy also discusses her journey from being a "far-left social justice warrior" and part of the trans adult industry to becoming a conservative and supporter of the MAGA movement, driven by concerns about substance abuse within the transgender community and social media manipulation. She views the MAGA movement as her "family" and advocates for equal rights and American liberty for all.
