We’ve long used the phrase “through the looking glass” to describe times when people or whole societies seem to lose their rational minds. But what we’re seeing today, in 2025, is far more bizarre and disturbing than any other social hysteria any of us have seen in living memory. We’re not just through the looking glass, we’re through it, and someone shattered it behind us. It may not be possible to get back.
On March 26, a Canadian father named Chris Elston was arrested by Australian police in a mall. Known online as “Billboard Chris,” Elston has been on a one-man crusade to educate the public on the horrific child abuse that we call “gender-affirming care” for so-called “transgender kids.” It’s crazy enough that any sane adult believes there are actually children who need sex changes, but what’s worse is that most people don’t know what this “affirming care” actually is.
Giving “puberty blockers” to kids doesn’t just “pause” puberty. It causes permanent damage, bone density loss, and more. Then, when the kid goes on to take hormones designed for the opposite sex, the child is permanently sterlized. For life. They will never have children. They won’t even be able to have an orgasm. Ever. And all that is before the poor child is surgically mutilated to remove breasts or genitals.
Why was Elston arrested? For standing in a mall, silently, wearing a sign that reads, “children cannot consent to puberty blockers.” Remember that all government institutions in Western countries are completely captured by transgender ideology. They’re quite literally religious zealots who would see people like Elston actually burned at the stake (yes, I mean executed) if they could get away with it.
Elston’s X/Twitter account describes what happened:
From the account:
“A Canadian father who campaigns against irreversible gender dysphoria treatments for children has been fined and arrested in Brisbane, in what has been described as a “worrying attack on freedom of expression”.
Chris Elston – better known online as Billboard Chris – was standing in Queen Street Mall with a sign stating “children cannot consent to puberty blockers” when he was approached by a Brisbane City Council worker who accused him of obstructing people’s movement.
The council worker went on to issue Mr Elston with an $806 fine for “obstructing or unreasonably disturbing any person lawfully using a mall”, a claim the activist calmly insisted was untrue.”
Here’s where it gets truly chilling. In Australia, puberty blockers and similar treatments are banned by law for children. The police arrested Elston for criticizing a form of child abuse that Australian law itself makes illegal!
Here’s a sample of the online reaction:
What do citizens of Western countries do when their own government and police are targeting them and their children?
