Anti-transgender activism
In July 2025, Turecki was a panelist at theĀ 2025 US Federal Trade Commission anti-trans workshop. Turecki stated:
I’m a mom from Michigan. My son was around 14 when he sent me a text that he was a girl, and at first I thought, hey, he’s at theater, and they’re just dressing up like girls. The next text was HRT, and I meant that as cross-sex hormones. At that time, I dove into research. He was away, so I was able to jump on the computer. I have a background in Library and Information Science. So I found Dr. Grossman. I found Jennifer Bilek, pro-trans sites, anti-trans sites, and crucially, Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans. I connected to other parents and quickly realized this is a cult, and guided my son out using proven cult techniques. Basically what I did is I leveraged stuff that was out there for other cults and tailored it to the needs of my son. […] And now I have a thriving, healthy 17-year-old man.
