In the 2017 movie \u201cThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,\u201d the character Mildred Hayes, played by the always-gripping Frances McDormand, is a driven mother seeking justice for her slain daughter.<\/p>\n

Feeling ignored, and with no arrests after seven months, Mildred puts up three roadside signs to prod Ebbing\u2019s police chief to find her daughter\u2019s killer.<\/p>\n

As the makers of \u201cDead Name,\u201d a new documentary film about the\u00a0gender ideology\u00a0<\/a>targeting our children, we\u2019ve taken a page from Mildred by using four two-sided digital billboards in Pennsylvania and Ohio to promote our movie through year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Why? Because we want to be heard. We want to prod ordinary folks to do a double take when they see this bold question along the roadside: \u201cHas This Happened to Your Child?\u201d Next come the words \u201cDead Name\u201d and the URL\u00a0deadnamedocumentary.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We know a little bit about being silenced. \u201cDead Name\u201d was first released late last year on the streaming platform Vimeo. Thirty-five days in,\u00a0Vimeo dropped the documentary<\/a>, caving to those who don\u2019t want to foster a conversation about parents who are suffering because their children are caught up in the transgender movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cDead Name\u201d rebounded on a private viewing platform and the censorship helped to spread the word about the film, but this never should have happened.<\/p>\n

Our film has been covered widely by conservative media via online publications and podcasts. Thoughtful journalists and hosts have examined the issue, using a compassionate lens to dissect an issue that is kidnapping a generation and destroying families.<\/p>\n

But mainstream media is too hard-boiled to treat the subject with nuance or open-mindedness. They\u2019re not allowed.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0transgender generation\u00a0<\/a>is a wonderful thing, a true expression of human rights, the legacy media outlets all seem to collectively believe. No need to delve deeper or ask critical questions or analyze what we\u2019re doing medically to a generation. Nope, nothing to look at there.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ve had to get creative about how to be heard \u2014 and seen. In Pennsylvania<\/a>, the electronic billboards promoting \u201cDead Name\u201d are in Harrisburg as well as Castle Shannon, a borough near Pittsburgh. In\u00a0Ohio<\/a>, the billboards are in Lorain County, near Cleveland, and in the city of Findlay.<\/p>\n

In Lorain, motorists passing the billboard are on their way to stores, restaurants, hotels, Mercy Health-Lorain Hospital, Lorain Community College, and the Cleveland Clinic\u2019s Family Health Center. The billboard in Findlay is situated in a busy area near Flag City Station shopping mall and close to the University of Findlay, Blanchard Valley Hospital, Northwest Ohio Railroad Preservation, and the Children\u2019s Museum of Findlay. We expect that will snap a few heads.<\/p>\n

The billboard in Harrisburg is located less than 3 miles from the steps of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex, where the issue is already under discussion among legislators. The Castle Shannon billboard sits in the heart of Allegheny County, amid stores, restaurants, pubs, and other businesses.<\/p>\n

We chose these locations because they are in the heartland of our great nation, a laboratory for public opinion. In the film \u201cDead Name,\u201d Amy \u2014 one of three parents who tells their intimate and heartbreaking stories \u2014 says that if it\u2019s not your child, you have no idea how it feels.<\/p>\n

That may be true, but the transgender issue is spreading its tentacles. More of us are becoming aware that we\u2019re grappling with something big, incomprehensible, and irreversible for our children.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re driving by one of our billboards, you might at least wonder what has befallen the unnamed child to whom we allude in the message looming over the traffic.<\/p>\n

It may not be your child, but it may be your niece or nephew or a friend\u2019s child who has been absorbed into gender dysphoria confusion. And not because that child really believes he or she has been born in the wrong body, but because that child is suffering from body image issues or sexual trauma or other anxiety disorders that grip us when we\u2019re going through the delicate stages of puberty and adolescence.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019re hoping is that drivers will motor pass these provocative signs and ask: \u201cWhat the heck is that all about?\u201d if they don\u2019t already know.<\/p>\n

If they find their way to our film, they will meet Amy, Helen, and Bill, parents who were blindsided when their children became caught up in the trans movement. The three have very different stories, but none of them saw it coming. And all three, for different reasons, continue to live with the fallout.<\/p>\n

But even if they don\u2019t watch \u201cDead Name,\u201d we\u2019re hoping the phrase \u201cdead name\u201d is enough for folks to wonder aloud to family and friends.<\/p>\n

At the very least, we\u2019re hoping people will ask questions, seek clarity, scratch their heads, wonder what it is they don\u2019t know. We are living through a unique time, where children are overly influenced online.<\/p>\n

Parents know they\u2019ve lost agency over their children. Previous generations raised their kids knowing that being a parent included the authority to protect a child.<\/p>\n

Somehow this societal structure, long relied upon, has spun out of control. A teacher or guidance counselor or therapist goes along with a child\u2019s new name or gender, often without parental knowledge or consent.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re asking, \u201cHas this happened to your child?\u201d We do so because we\u2019re hoping parents will be better prepared for and more educated about this scourge that erases a child\u2019s identity, leaving him or her with a \u201cdead name\u201d and relatives and other loved ones with broken hearts.<\/p>\n\n
