(WND)—A radiologist who voiced, to state lawmakers, his personal objections to the damage inflicted on children, including bodily mutilations, by transgender “treatments,” and was dismissed from a state board over his beliefs, is taking his fight over free speech to an appeals court.
“The record in this case is clear: [Wyoming] Governor Gordon fired Dr. [Eric] Cubin from the Wyoming Board of Medicine because he spoke out on legislation,” explained said Jacob Huebert, of the Liberty Justice Center. “There was no valid justification for the governor’s retaliation. It violated Dr. Cubin’s First Amendment rights, so we’re asking the court to order the Governor to restore Dr. Cubin to his position.”
The fight now is pending before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in the leftist enclave of Denver.
The legal team explained the case is about Cubin’s 2024 email to members of the Wyoming House of Representatives, written in his personal capacity.
He endorsed Senate File 99, “Chloe’s Law,” which prohibits gender reassignment surgeries and hormone therapy for minors. It was easily adopted by the legislature and even signed by Gordon.
“However, just one month later after signing the bill, Gov. Gordon terminated Dr. Cubin from the Wyoming Board of Medicine, explicitly citing his email to the legislature as the reason,” the lawyers explained.
He had been appointed in 2023 to the board that oversees medical regulation, compliance and discipline in the state.
Cubin’s letter had expressed his personal endorsement of the law and he criticized the Wyoming Medical Society for opposing the bill “without adequately representing the views of its members,” the report said.
Even so, Gordon forced Cubin’s resignation of the board, insisting that it “created the ‘appearance of bias'” and could give the impression that he was speaking on the board’s behalf.
Liberty Justice Center sued on Cubin’s behalf and now has moved the case to the 10th Circuit, following a rejection of the case by a federal court in Wyoming.
Many medical organizations, up to and including the American Medical Association, have supported the ideology that involves giving chemicals to patients who have gender dysphoria, even doing mutilating surgeries on healthy body parts, because of their mental condition.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
