Travis D. Brown is an American anti-progressive and anti-transgender propagandist. Brown produced the 2023 anti-trans series Uncomfortable Truths: The Reality of Gender Identity Ideology.

note: for the trans-supportive programmer, see Travis Brown.

Background

Travis David Brown is “a skeptic and free-thinker” who lives in Portland, Oregon and has been a videographer since 2009. Brown claims to explore themes of “dogma, faith and credulity.”

Brown was a camera operator and cinematographer on several small projects. Brown co-directed the 2018 film All Too Human with Mandy Stockholm.

Anti-transgender activism

Brown is closely associated with anti-trans extremists at Genspect. Brown raised $450 on a $29,500 goal to travel to Ireland to film a 2023 Genspect conference:

Hello. My name is Travis Brown, and I am a documentary filmmaker out of Oregon. For a few years now I’ve been covering topics around woke ideology and how to improve dialogue between people who have diametrically opposed views.

In my upcoming documentary, I’ll be tackling the very important and sensitive topic of gender ideology. There’s so much confusion and frustration when it comes to discussing trans issues, but I hope to help paint a clear picture of what is going on, why, and what can be done about it to protect young people, keep families intact, and keep women’s spaces from being overtaken by men.

If you’ve been following the trans debate, you’ll know why it’s crucial to have clear and concise explanations and advice on this topic without hyperbole. With the spread of gender ideology, we have so many young people, and even some adults who are fooled into thinking that the only solution to their distress is to take hormones or get life-altering surgeries. But this often just makes their problems much worse and can increase suicidal ideation. And that’s just the tip of this problematic iceberg.

In my docuseries called The Woke Reformation, I’ve covered topics of critical race theory, woke capitalism, the roots of this ideology, in neo-Marxism and postmodernism, and more. I’ve been lucky enough to work with Peter Boghossian, who has produced this series, and to have interviewed Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Douglas Murray, Vivek Ramaswamy, Niall Ferguson, [onscreen: Mark Pellegrino, Benjamin Boyce] and so many more incredible people.

For this documentary, I’ll have more amazing guests like Helen Joyce, the author of TRANS, and some pediatricians, counselors, detransitioners, and other important voices. In order to make this my best documentary so far, I need your help. I have a great opportunity to fly to the UK for some exciting interviews and to film an important conference put on by Genspect. Most of the costs are covered, but I’m still about $6,000 short.

I don’t do interviews over Zoom because I’m committed to creating very high-quality content, and filming in person is always much better than recording virtual interviews. I’m really concerned about what’s happening in our society, and I believe we have to be honest about biology, the differences between men and women, the importance of single-sex spaces, and the safety of our children.

So I could really use your help. If you can contribute any amount, it would be very grateful. Or if you can share this video and GiveSendGo link around, that would be awesome. Please help me bring some sanity to the discourse around gender ideology. Thanks for watching.

“Christina Buttons” is the pen name of Christina Berry, an American writer, former sex worker, illustrator, and anti-transgender activist who wrote articles for anti-trans publication The Daily Wire until 2023. Berry joined the anti-trans Manhattan Institute in 2024.

Background

Christina “Tina” Berry is reportedly “from a small town in Alabama” and grew up in the San Diego area.

Berry stated, “I received many diagnoses throughout my life, the most recent being Asperger’s syndrome at age 30.” Starting in middle school, Berry felt ostracized and reported the following problems that required therapy:

  • body dysmorphia
  • dermatillomania
  • insomnia
  • obsessive-compulsive habits
  • self-cutting
  • anorexia
  • major depressive disorder
  • trips to “emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals, outpatient programs, and group homes”
  • monotone voice
  • “limited eye contact”
  • “flat affect”
  • “stumbling while walking and almost falling”
  • “a large number of atypical perceptual experiences”
  • “social immaturity”
  • “significant inflexibility in her thinking”
  • “difficulty identifying feelings”
  • “tendency to express emotions indirectly and impulsively” 
  • “emotionally disturbed”
  • drug and alcohol use
  • groomed and raped at age 15 by a 47 year old

“After running away from two lower-security residential treatment facilities, flunking out of a wilderness program in Idaho, and several more psychiatric hospital stays, I arrived at my final destination: a lockdown psychiatric residential treatment center in Utah called Provo Canyon School, where I would live for a year.”

After returning home and getting a GED, Berry moved in with a romantic partner and began doing sex work. As a young adult, Berry appeared in pornography as “Rita Lovely” and “Cute Courtney.”

Berry worked at Moonbow Publishing as a contract illustrator, which began a turning point away from some of these earlier self-destructive behaviors.

Anti-transgender activism

Berry stated, “I became a journalist after discovering the stories of detransitioners—stories that deeply resonated with my own struggles with mental health and identity.”

After working for anti-diversity organization Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism, Berry worked at The Post Millennial in 2022 before joining The Daily Wire.

Berry plans to continue this anti-trans work with a book titled The Parent’s Survival Guide to Gender Ideology and a website genderdebunked.com.

In 2024, Berry joined the Manhattan Institute, which led to revelations about Berry’s work in hardcore pornography.

Over the course of this activism, Berry began a relationship with anti-trans activist Colin Wright.

2023 Daily Wire resignation

Berry covered transgender issues for The Daily Wire, switching to “Christina Buttons” after starting. In 2023, Berry resigned from The Daily Wire over its increasingly inflammatory anti-trans rhetoric, particularly that of Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles:

I’m leaving The Daily Wire. I work hard getting the facts right and using precise language because of the heated nature of the gender debate, with so much at stake, while their pundits dump gasoline all over it for entertainment and clicks.

As an independent journalist I will continue my commitment to factual and rigorous reporting on gender ideology and pediatric gender medicine, with the goal of reaching people across the political spectrum. You can help support my journalism by donating.

I’ve already begun receiving inquiries from left-wing publications to see if I’ll give them dirt. As a company, The Daily Wire is a fantastic place to work, they treat their employees extremely well, their editorial team is top notch and everyone I have ever interacted with there is wonderful. I am leaving because I want to reach people on the center-left and lately I’ve felt there has been a distinct increase in inflammatory rhetoric from some of The Daily Wire’s personalities that make it more difficult to accomplish that.

Why? I didn’t misrepresent their views. They made extremely controversial public statements, doubled down on them, and I left so that I could express my opinions on them. My loyalty is to the people who are trying to improve the situation with gender medicine, not inflame it.

I would never use the word transgenderism to describe gender ideology. It was either a sloppy choice from not having done enough research or it was intentionally meant to inflame. Most people believe that being transgender is the same as being gay. That’s why I expend so much energy trying to inform people on why “gender identity” has no biological basis. Furthermore, “eradicating” gender ideology completely from all aspects of life is not realistic, nor attainable and amounts to conservative virtue signaling. We have to be specific about what “gender identity” ideology is, where it came from, what the tenets are, where it should not be taught (K-12) or accommodated (sports, prisons, etc) otherwise you drive mass hysteria. Most reasonable people would agree with all of these points if they were given the opportunity to have them be explained.

I know her from college. This girl was and very likely still IS seriously troubled. She had a few break downs in front of us all at a classmates’ home, like people saw her do incredibly inappropriate shit that I will not repeat here out of respect for her. She then went on to do porn for a while (not kidding), then decided she wanted to move to Europe and got married to a Swiss dude only to dump him and run back home..THEN she reappeared wanting to be a microbiologist (or some kind of scientist) then moved on to illustration…my point with saying all of this is that she’s a lost grifter, clinging to anything that will get her love, admiration, and attention. I feel bad for her honestly, because she was always so sweet and kind… but not that bad anymore since she decided to align herself with fascists. I thought she was ok up til now. Bummer.

“Chloe Cole” is the stage name of Chloe Brockman, an American ex-transgender activist. Similar to the ex-gay movement, ex-trans activists get money and attention by making it harder for others to get trans healthcare. Many claim to have been cured of being trans via “desistance” or “detransition.”

Background

Chloe Elise Brockman was born July 27, 2004.

Brockman’s mother is Jocelyn V. (Torrecampo) Brockman (born 1968), a perioperative nurse who has worked for Kaiser Permanente. Jocelyn Brockman married Jeffrey Allen “Jeff” Brockman (born 1971), an IT entrepreneur who was raised in a Mormon household.

Chloe Brockman has four adult siblings: Jacob, Chelsea, Maddie, and Calvin. They are a blended family. Chloe Brockman grew up in Manteca, California. As a child, Brockman had two cleft palate repair surgeries.

Brockman had an “emotionally troubled” childhood that included several assessments and diagnoses:

  • September 12, 2012 (age 8): “disruptive behavior disorder”
  • November 26, 2013 (age 9): “encounter for school problem”
  • October 9, 2015 (age 11): “attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder” (ADHD)

According to self-reports, Brockman came out as trans after exhibiting gender-diverse behavior starting about age 9, around the time puberty started. Brockman created an Instagram account at 11. In May 2017, at age 12, Brockman wrote a letter to both parents, asking to be referred to as a boy and by the names Ky or Chi.

On November 30, 2017, Brockman had a consultation with an endocrinologist who advised against beginning hormone therapy. The family sought a second opinion on Brockman’s insistence and gave legal consent for medical transition.

In early 2018, at age 13, Brockman began a medical transition under the care of endocrinologist Lisa Taylor, with puberty blockers followed by testosterone injections starting a month later.

At age 14, Brockman’s chest was groped at school by a bully. This traumatic event led to daily use of a chest binder. Brockman asked Taylor for a referral to plastic surgeon Hop Le. Brockman then had a psychological evaluation with Susanne Watson, who recommended honoring Brockman’s request for top surgery.

Amid the pressure of trying to help their troubled child, Brockman’s parents filed for divorce in 2019.

Brockman began using the given name Leo and was encouraged to attend classes with a family peer group of other transmasculine minors. Brockman’s surgery occurred following parental consent. On June 3, 2020, Brockman underwent top surgery a month before turning 16. During COVID quarantine in the summer of 2020, Brockman started to have “regrets” before discontinuing hormones in May 2021. According to the 2023 lawsuit, Brockman “became intensely suicidal for the first time and prone to emotional outbursts.” Elsewhere in the lawsuit, they claim Brockman was exhibiting “passive suicidal ideation” around the time Jeff and Jocelyn filed for divorce (which it appears they never finalized).

Brockman failed out of high school as a senior and had to get a California High School Proficiency Exam Certificate instead. As failure, isolation, and rejection took their toll, Brockman was radicalized by conservative edgelord online culture. Anti-transgender activism soon followed. This brought Brockman to the attention of Harmeet Dhillon and other conservative or fascist activists, who began showering Brockman with money and attention.

2023 lawsuit

On February 22, 2023 conservative lawyers filed suit in California, alleging Brockman was a victim of medical negligence.

Plaintiff

  • Chloe E. Brockman a/k/a Chloe Cole

Defendants

  • Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Inc.
  • Permanente Medical Group, Inc.
    • Lisa Kristine Taylor, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist
    • Hop Nguyen Le, MD, a plastic surgeon
    • Susanne E. Watson, PhD, a clinical psychologist
  • Does 1 through 50

Brockman’s lawyers

  • Charles S. LiMandri
  • Paul M. Jonna
  • Robert E. Weisenburger
  • Harmeet K. Dhillon
  • John-Paul S. Deol
  • Jesse D. Franklin-Murdock
  • Mark E. Trammell

The lawyers claim Brockman has had these conditions:

  • pornography addiction
  • disruptive behavior disorder (diagnosed September 12, 2012)
  • encounter for school problem (diagnosed November 26, 2013)
  • ADHD (diagnosed October 9, 2015)
  • general anxiety
  • social anxiety
  • speech difficulties
  • depression
  • pubertal struggles associated with significantly increased negative emotions
  • body dysmorphia and serious self-image concerns
  • symptoms of an eating disorder
  • learning disabilities
  • autism spectrum symptoms
  • a cleft palate for which surgery had been performed
  • concerns about being sexually abused or raped, that eventually materialized into a sexual assault
  • exposure to only negative aspects about being female, without any discussion of the positive aspects of being female, including menstrual cycles, pregnancy, childbirth, male domination, and similar distorting ideas
  • difficulty at school
  • trouble with social interaction and learning
  • social troubles
  • severe distress
  • ongoing confusion regarding her gender
  • suicidal ideation

They put forth the “social contagion” model that claims Brockman was misled by LGBT activist groups and transgender social media influencers.

They also make the common ex-trans claim: “The fact that Plaintiff detransitioned after the so-called treatment establishes res ipsa loquitor that Plaintiff was not transgender.”

Tim Pool is an American right-wing podcaster and anti-transgender extremist.

Background

Timothy Daniel “Tim” Pool was born on March 9, 1986. Pool’s parent Michael D. “Mike” Pool (born 1959) was a Chicago firefighter. Tim Pool’s siblings include:

  • Christopher Michael “Chris” Pool (born 1984): works with Tim, and was known on YouTube as “Reactor”. The two had a dispute over the trademark for Subverse, later renamed SCNR (pronounced “scanner”)
  • Lisa Brady Pool (born 1980): briefly worked for Tim

Pool’s parents divorced. Pool attended a Catholic school until completing the fifth grade and later left school at age 14.

Pool became involved in the Occupy movement and produced media using innovative techniques.

Pool was reportedly dating Alison Neubauer.

Podcast

Timcast IRL is an influential podcast hosted by Pool. It is notable for hosting a disproportionate number of conservative and anti-transgender guests.

The podcast quickly became a key platform for laundering right-wing and anti-transgender extremism into mainstream media. A 2018 report by Data & Society found that the show was part of a network of YouTube channels logrolling alt-right and intellectual dark web extremism: “By connecting to and interacting with one another through YouTube videos, influencers with mainstream audiences lend their credibility to openly white nationalist and other extremist content creators.”

Andy NgĂŽ is an American writer and anti-transgender activist. NgĂŽ’s coverage of trans topics consistently depicts trans people in a negative light.

NgĂŽ’s writing has appeared many anti-trans publications, including Quillette and The Post Millennial.

Background

Andy Cuong NgĂŽ was born on April 6, 1986 and grew up in Portland, Oregon. NgĂŽ earned a bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 2009.

NgĂŽ came out as gay around age 30.

In 2015, NgĂŽ enrolled in graduate school at Portland State University. NgĂŽ was fired from student newspaper Portland State Vanguard in 2017 after allegedly misrepresenting statements made at a protest.

Anti-transgender activism

NgĂŽ was suspended from Twitter in 2019 for a tweet disputing rates of violence against trans people.

In 2021, Ngo revealed that sex offender Darren Agee Merager was the suspect in an incident at Wi Spa in Los Angeles. Merager identifies as a trans woman and was accused by Wi Spa guests of indecent exposure while nude in a sex-segregated part of the spa. The incident was initially declared a hoax by some people who covered it, and it led to tense protests.

NgĂŽ hosted the podcast Things You Should Ngo and has appeared as a guest on many anti-trans shows, including shows by or with Tucker Carlson, Dave Rubin, Peter Boghossian, Allen West, Michael Malice, Charlie Kirk, Adam Carolla, Laura Ingraham, Megyn Kelly, Glenn Beck, Konstantin Kisin, Francis Foster, Jennifer Bilek, Drew Pinsky, Dan Crenshaw, Jesse Kelly, Tim Pool, Julia Hartley-Brewer, Jordan Peterson, Kennedy, Lotuseaters, Maajid Nawaz, Brandi Kruse, Sebastian Gorka, Joe Rogan, Bret Weinstein, Wilfred Reilly, Eric Weinstein, Greg Gutfeld, Ben Shapiro, and Debra Soh.

Anna Hutchinson is a British psychologist and anti-transgender activist involved in the “ex-transgender” movement. Similar to the ex-gay movement, it is a group of people who believe they have been cured of being trans, either through “desistance” or “detransition.” Hutchinson is also a proponent of the disputed diagnosis “rapid onset gender dysphoria.”

Hutchinson cofounded Integrated Psychology Clinic. All trans and gender diverse people should avoid this clinic, especially minors.

Background

Anna Hutchinson was born in November 1977. Hutchinson earned a bachelor’s degree from Cardiff University, a master’s degree from University College London, and a doctorate from Royal Holloway, University of London.

Hutchinson has held roles at Great Ormond Street Hospital, King’s College Hospital, and the infamous “gender clinic” at The Tavistock Centre.

Hutchinson and Netali Riddell Levi operate The Integrated Psychology Clinic, the trading name for Netali Hutchinson LLP.

Anti-transgender activism

Hutchinson was a founding member of the International Association of Therapists for Desisters and Detransitioners (IATDD), an anti-transgender front group. Its members are key figures in “gender critical” anti-transgender activism. Hutchinson was a founding member of the website Detrans Foundation but was taken off in the first two months.

IATDD supported the “ex-transgender” movement, people who describe themselves as “desisters” and “detransitioners.” They sell their services to parents who do not want their children to make a gender transition, known as the “parental rights” movement.

Hutchinson also supports the disputed diagnosis “rapid onset gender dysphoria” and urged more research in the anti-trans publication Archives of Sexual Behavior. That journal’s stated goal since its founding has been “the prevention of transsexualism.”

In 2025, Hutchinson coined a new term for anti-trans conversion therapy: “Cass informed psychotherapy.” That paper thanks anti-trans activist Richard Stephens.

Prisha Mosley is an American ex-transgender activist. Mosley gets money and attention by making it more difficult for others to get trans healthcare.

Background

Abigail Mosley was born February 14, 1998. Mosley’s parents are Christine Ann Bourgeois-Mosley (born 1968) and Mark Stephen Mosley (born 1962).

Mosley claims to have had “rapid onset gender dysphoria” at 12. Mosley was sexually assaulted at age 14 or 15 (versions differ).

According to Kelsey Bolar at Epoch Times:

Mosley’s parents were both against her “transitioning” as a minor. But because her mother suffered from alcoholism and her own history of mental illness, Mosley “threw away” much of what her mother said. Her father wasn’t sure what to do. Mosley describes him as having a “prove it attitude.” He told Mosley to make her own appointments and see what the professionals recommended.

Mosley then took numerous steps without parental assistance. Mosley socially transitioned in 2013, then over the next two years convinced each parent to consent to medical transition steps. Mosley began hormones at 17, in 2015.

Mosley began using the name Charlie Samael Mosley. As an adult, Mosley chose to get top surgery, in 2016. In 2017, Mosley was allegedly “lured to Florida” by trans peers and got engaged to a trans person, but they later broke up.

Mosley moved to Michigan to attend Ferris State University.

Mosley stopped taking hormones in 2022 and began fundraising for breast reconstruction, but ended up using the money for other things. According to Bolar:

After detransitioning in Florida and leaving an unhealthy relationship she was in with another individual who identified as transgender, Mosley moved to Big Rapids, Michigan, to pursue a job at a local dispensary. It was supposed to be a relaxed environment, but she said she got fired for crying every day. Mosley has since started school but can only take courses online because she doesn’t feel comfortable being seen.

Anti-transgender activism

On October 2, 2022, Mosley posted a YouTube video originally titled “I ruined my life.” In it Mosley claims that “some people in the trans community, and the transmedicalists, and the doctors really really target the most vulnerable of us.”

In that vulnerable state Mosley was then targeted and groomed by conservative and fascist activists. They showered Mosley with money and attention. Because regret is so rare, Mosley got flown around the country to testify against healthcare for trans and gender diverse minors in states where Mosley does not live:

  • Louisiana HB463
  • Ohio SB68
  • Texas HB 1686
  • South Carolina
  • Texas SB14
  • Indiana SB480
  • Florida Board of Medicine

Mosley is heavily invested in metaphors of disease and impairment, identifying as disabled and diseased (mentally ill). This is a kind of attention-seeking behavior.

Mosley’s alleged diseases and health problems include:

  • anorexia (cured)
  • transgender (cured)
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • borderline personality disorder (BPD)
  • “psychosis”
  • “delusions”
  • “permanent damage to my back and ribs”
  • “severe vaginal atrophy”
  • “painful genitals so severe I can no longer use tampons”
  • “never had a normal period”
  • “chronic pain”
  • “I live in a painful body that no longer belongs to me”
  • muscle and fat redistribution left me with “constant burning pain”
  • “hurts to hold myself up”
  • “clumsiness”
  • “my chest is numb except for the occasional zapping pain”
  • “joint pain for the rest of my life”
  • “my back and joints ache constantly”
  • “lost the ability to sing”
  • “painful to speak for long periods”
  • “most likely infertile”
  • “large painful shoulders”
  • “I’m no longer able to regulate my own hormones”
  • “pain tolerance is lower”
  • “overgrown heart”
  • “increased risk for heart attack and stroke”
  • “doctors have abandoned me”
  • “doctors blackmailed my parents”
  • “missing pieces of my nipples”
  • need “at least three more traumatizing surgeries”
  • “I will never be able to feed my children”

Mosley does not seem to take much personal responsibility for these life choices, especially those made as an adult. Until there is some personal responsibility taken, Mosley is doomed to remain a miserable victim cultist.

Jordan Campbell, Ron Miller, Josh Payne, and Daniel Sepulveda are the founders of Campbell Miller Payne, PLLC (CMP), a firm focused on suing providers of trans health services. They and Envisage Law in Raleigh are representing Mosley in litigation against the people who tried to help Mosley, and CMP also represents ex-trans litigant Soren Aldaco in Texas.
