(1) Overview

The ADL claims its top priority is to defend Jews against hatred and violence.  Instead of devoting all its resources, efforts and prestige to this mission, the ADL has engaged in a variety of bizarre, hyper-partisan crusades that have absolutely nothing to do with it.  Some of these diversions are compiled on this page:

The ADL’s diversions into unrelated issues, and hyper-political activism on Twitter, Part 1 – The ADL Exposed

The most notable of these diversions is the ADL’s crusade to publicly destroy an orthodox Jewish blogger, Chaya Raichik.

Chaya Raichik, a Jewish blogger, aka “LibsOfTikTok”

Until April 19, 2022, Raichik operated on Twitter behind the screen name “LibsOfTikTok,” which she used to share videos that other users uploaded to TikTok of themselves, often describing or showcasing their efforts to indoctrinate preteens and adolescents in leftist politics, LGBT ideology and more, often in school settings.

Here are several compilations of the videos that Raichik has shared:

Libs of Tiktok Cringe Compilation #3

Libs of Tiktok Cringe Compilation #2

Libs of Tik-Tok: Week of February 27th

In summary, as documented on this page, the ADL falsely claimed that:

  • Raichik was peddling falsehoods about the subjects in her citizen journalism
  • Raichik was inciting threats and violence against the people and organizations she addressed in her citizen journalism
  • Raichik called the LGBT community, as a whole, “evil” (as opposed to the minority that is actively targeting minors, and accepts no dissent)

It must be noted that the ADL began its crusade to destroy Raichik five months after it knew that she:

  • Had been doxxed by one of America’s most influential “news” organizations (which another cheered, and morally justified)
  • Was being terrorized by an escalating online harassment and threat campaign — which she claims Twitter’s previous management knowingly facilitated — that got so severe she and her family had to flee their homes
  • Had been libeled by various “news” organizations and “fact-checkers,” which claimed she’d falsely accused several children’s hospitals were offering sex-reassignment surgery for minors — even though she and others showcased the proof from said hospitals’ own websites, videos, and audio recordings

One cannot fully comprehend the ADL’s reprehensible acts and omissions regarding Raichik without a firm grasp on the chronology of this entire situation. The purpose of this page is to provide an authoritative chronology, within which additional research and analysis are provided where necessary, to add vital context and supporting documentation.

The contents of this page, consumed in sequence, demonstrate how wildly the ADL’s crusade to destroy Raichik deviates from (a) Its public condemnations regarding the “doxxing” of Jews, women, and other “vulnerable communities,” and (b) Its open recognition of how “online hate [can] fuel offline violence,” and (c) Its concern about how influential figures can “act as a compass, guiding activists towards targets for harassment and protest”:

“We all deserve to feel safe online. With the rise of social media and online gaming, we’re seeing a major increase in bigots and extremists taking advantage of the world wide web to target women, teens, Jews, and other vulnerable groups. Our online privacy protections are so weak and outdated that individuals with malicious intentions can post people’s personal information for harassment. Dangerous bad actors are publishing cell phone numbers and home addresses of people they want to hurt – from school teachers to election officials to Jewish small business owners to Supreme Court Justices. Congress must take steps to protect Americans from the threat of cyber harassment.”

– “Tell Congress to Protect Citizens from Doxing,” ADL policy statement

“As we have noted in our research over the past several years, X – along with other social media platforms – has a serious issue with antisemites and other extremists using these platforms to push their hateful ideas and, in some cases, bully Jewish and other users.”

– ADL statement, October 4, 2023

And in regards to what can happen when a person or organization whips its followers into a frenzy, and the target of their wrath is confronted by the most radical of them, in person, here is the ADL’s stated policy:

“[This person/organization] essentially acts as a compass, guiding… activists towards targets for harassment and protest.”

– ADL report, September 16, 2022

As we’re about to see, however, according to the ADL, all of its high-minded principles are not only thrown out the window when a Jew such as Raichik is targeted with such behavior — it actually will join in the smears and incitement, so long as the target is an enemy of left-wing extremists.

For a brief introduction to Raichik,the nature of her work, why she chose to remain anonymous — until the Washington Post doxxed her — and the threats she’s faced ever since (about which the ADL has said nothing), here is a recent interview (7:30) that Megyn Kelly did with her on May 1, 2023:

(2) Background through April 18, 2022

In November 2020, Chaya Raichik, an orthodox Jewish blogger, created a Twitter account using the anonymous screen name “LibsOfTikTok” (@LibsOfTikTok).

She used this account primarily to share videos that radical leftists, many of them elementary school teachers, uploaded of themselves to TikTok, in which they boast about how they:

  • Are indoctrinating our children in far-left political and gender ideology
  • Advocating for gender change treatments for them
  • Subjecting them to drag queen events, etc.

On occasion, Raichik obtained and posted documentation to support her concerns about these contentious issues.

Here is a video compilation (produced by a third party) of some of the items that Raichik shared:

Note that Raichik didn’t (and still doesn’t) edit or alter anything in the videos she shares, except occasionally to link to the screen names under which the users posted them.  She has never doxxed, or threatened anyone — or incited anyone else to do so.  She also has never “doxxed” anyone – meaning, to publish personally-identifying information that those who uploaded videos chose not to publish.

Her mission, as she’s said from the start of her blogging efforts, is to expose what they post about themselves, so parents, school administrators and Americans can gain a first-hand understanding of what they’re doing, especially to children.

Here is an example of one of Raichik’s more recent Tweets, that lays waste to the myth that there is nothing outrageous, offensive or harmful in drag events for children:

Here are some examples of Raichik’s reporting and commentary, from her blog: LibsOfTikTok.com:

By early 2022, Raichik’s Twitter account was gaining a significant following, particularly among parents, and Americans of all stripes who want our children to be educated, not indoctrinated — in anyone’s political or sexual ideology — or to be exposed to adult-oriented sexual content.

On February 3, 2022, the NY Post interviewed Raichik, but only on the condition of anonymity:

The mystery woman behind the viral Libs of Tik Tok account, NY Post, February 3, 2022. Excerpt (emphasis added):

If you’ve been pondering the idea of the world coming to an end lately, it might be because you’ve been spending too much time with the “Libs of TikTok.”

The no-longer-underground social media sensation — which amassed more than a half-million followers and tens of millions of views on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube in less than a year — prides itself on exposing far left hypocrisy and liberal “wokeness” on steroids. The account’s mysterious creator specializes in outing unchecked teachers, abuses in schools and the alleged “indoctrination” of children by reposting videos of the so-called offenders in their own words.

With biting zingers and snappy captions, the feed posts alarming videos pulled directly from the “unhinged” sources: TikTok accounts of, say, a college professor accused of soft-pedaling pedophilia — or a middle school teacher gleefully threatening to “throw a child at you.” Maybe even an English teacher steering students to pledge their allegiance to a gay pride banner after secretly stowing the American flag.

Those are just a few of the greatest viral hits, mixed in with some mask-shaming exposés and a hefty dose of button-pushing hot takes on non-binary gender fluidity and its impact on US youths.

(3) April 19, 2022: The Washington Post doxxed Raichik: It revealed, for the first time — and without Raichik’s consent — her actual identity, occupation, and physical address

At 6:00am on April 19, 2022, the Washington Post published this story, written by its tech “journalist” Taylor Lorenz, in which it “doxxed” Raichik:

Libs of TikTok has become central to right wing politics, by Taylor Lorenz, The Washington Post, April 19, 2022.  Excerpt:

Throughout its increasingly popular posts and despite numerous media appearances, the account has remained anonymous. But the identity of the operator of Libs of TikTok is traceable through a complex online history and reveals someone who has been plugged into right-wing discourse for two years and is now helping to drive it.

Chaya Raichik had been working as a real estate salesperson in Brooklyn when, in early November 2020, she created the account that would eventually become Libs of TikTok. […]

The story then goes on to say that the “journalist” behind this doxxing showed up at the California home of Raichik’s family:

When a reporter called the phone number registered to Raichik’s real estate profile and LibofTikTok.us, the woman who answered hung up after the reporter identified herself as calling from The Washington Post. A woman at the address listed to Raichik’s name in Los Angeles declined to identify herself. On Monday night, a tweet from Glenn Greenwald confirmed the house that was visited belonged to Raichik’s family.

Given these facts, an informed observer would ask:

Q) Given the ADL’s fervent opposition to doxxing — especially Jewish women — what was its reaction to the Washington Post doxxing of Raichik, and one of its operatives showing up at her family’s home?

A) Silence

(4) April 20, 2022: Within hours of the Post’s doxxing of her, Raichik and her family — and a woman with the same name in the UK — began being subjected to harassment and threats, causing them to flee their homes in terror

As reported in the NY Post:

Influencer who shares name with ‘Libs of TikTok’ creator blames Taylor Lorenz for cyberbullying, NY Post, April 20, 2022. Excerpts:

Taylor Lorenz was blasted by an Instagram influencer who said she was being cyberbullied because she has the same name as the operator of the right-leaning Twitter account “Libs of TikTok” who was allegedly “doxxed” by the Washington Post reporter on Tuesday.

Chaya Raichik, a stay-at-home mother of two children living in the United Kingdom, bears the same name as the Brooklyn-based realtor who Lorenz revealed this week to be the Twitter user behind “Libs of TikTok,” a pro-conservative account that posts TikTok videos of liberals deemed by some to be extremist.

She said that in the wake of Lorenz’s article, she has been harassed and bullied online and that internet trolls were posting her parents’ home address on social media platforms.

Raichik then posted some threatening messages she has received […] “You are whats wrong with this world. You’re vile and disgusting. Your children should be taken away from you and put in a safer home. May you rot in hell.”

Raichik then demanded that Lorenz do more to stop the abuse.

“This is ON YOU!” Raichik wrote, tagging Lorenz. “You need to clarify that this is not me. People are posting and tweeting my parents home address!!!”

She added: “If anything happens to my family it is on you!”

The influencer Raichik told her Instagram followers that she “woke up this morning to hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of new followers.

Here is a video of Raichik herself reading some of the threats and hate she now receives (caution: language warning).

Later in the day, Raichik participated in a phone interview with Tucker Carlson, parts of which were compiled into this 6-minute video by Sky News Australia. The video contains vital excerpts of key source and supplemental media, including examples of the videos posted by radical leftists, which Raichik shared, as well as photos of Post “journalist,” Taylor Lorenz, at the door of Raichik’s family’s home — in California:

Also on April 20, Fox Business guest host Guy Benson (who happens to be gay) exposed the outrage at what the Post did, with commentary from The Hill’s media critic Joe Concha:

Seven weeks later, on June 13, 2022, Raichik posted this Tweet, indicating how severe the threats against her on Twitter had become — and her accusation that Twitter has refused to shut down the accounts of the users who issued them:

The next day, June 14, 2022, Raichik posted an example of one of these threats, issued to her by direct message over Twitter, and alerted the FBI:

The left-leaning Glenn Greenwald shared Raichik’s Tweet, with this commentary:

“This is what it’s like to be a woman on the internet who got doxed by a newspaper owned by the world’s richest man: actual death threats and encouragement of suicide.”

Raichik announced on June 14, 2022 that the threats of physical violence against her became so severe that claims she felt compelled to relocate:

Q) Did the ADL ever accuse the Washington Post “journalist” Taylor Lorenz of “acting as a compass… guiding leftist activists towards Raichik at her home, for harassment and protest” — as it (falsely) accused Raichik of doing?

A) Absolutely not.

(5) Less than three weeks earlier, the Post “journalist” behind Raichik’s doxxing cried on MSNBC, about how it feels to face online criticism — which she claimed causes her to suffer “severe PTSD”

Washington Post “journalist” Taylor Lorenz doxxed Raichik on April 19, 2022.  Less than three weeks earlier, on April 1, 2022, Lorenz — who is notorious for haranguing organizations and social media companies to “cancel” conservatives who say things with which she disagrees — literally cried on MSNBC, describing the criticism she gets for her activism (while masquerading as a “journalist”), and claimed she was suffering from “severe PTSD” as a result. 

Ironically, three days later, on April 4, Lorenz excoriated MSNBC for its interview with her:

Taylor Lorenz slams MSNBC over harassment segment: ‘You f—ed up royally’, NY Post, April 4, 2022. Excerpt:

Washington Post tech columnist Taylor Lorenz slammed MSNBC’s handling of a segment in which she detailed her experiences contending with online harassment — claiming the network botched the report so badly that it made the problem worse.

In a segment airing last Friday on MSNBC’s Meet the Press Daily, Lorenz revealed that online harassment targeting her and her family caused her to experience “severe PTSD” and contemplate suicide in the recent past.

The MSNBC coverage aimed to detail brutal harassment faced by female journalists — noting data that showed 73% reported experiencing online attacks while doing their jobs.

But Lorenz said she has faced “even worse” treatment since the segment went live.

“If your segment or story on ‘online harassment’ leads to even worse online harassment for your subjects, you f—ed up royally and should learn how to cover these things properly before ever talking about them again,” Lorenz tweeted on Sunday.

On April 20, the Fox News program “Gutfeld” (at the time the most popular late-night TV show) featured a segment that discussed Lorenz’s hypocritical assault on Raichik, and showcased excerpts from her tear-drenched April 1 interview on MSNBC:

(6) April 21, 2022: NBC News openly celebrated — and justified — the Post’s doxxing of Raichik, as quality and necessary “journalism”

On April 21, 2022, even though it knew (or should have known) the terror being inflicted on Raichik and her family by the leftist mob that Lorenz and the Post had unleashed against her, NBC News actually endorsed their doxxing of her:

Why the ‘doxxing’ of ‘Libs of TikTok’ creator is justified, NBC News, April 21, 2022.  Excerpts (emphasis added):

There are many reasons it’s inappropriate to publicly expose a person’s private information — a practice known in internet parlance as “doxxing.” But this isn’t one of them.

Let me be clear: Doxxing can be dangerous — or even deadly. There are many people who should be able to share information anonymously online. For example, to document their experiences as transgender people if they fear discrimination or even violence for openly sharing their identities. Exposing such people can put their safety in danger. And it’s never acceptable to share people’s private contact information online, like their phone numbers or email addresses, since this could be used to harass them in “real” life.

But there’s no justifiable reason to protect the identity of someone like Raichik on social media so she can spread this kind of intolerance with impunity. The public has a significant interest in knowing who is behind accounts that have major influence on public discourse about important issues, like Libs of TikTok.

Terrified but undeterred, Raichik continued sharing videos uploaded to TikTok by radical leftists.

Q) So what did the ADL have to say about NBC News morally justifying the Washington Post’s doxxing of Raichik — which led to such a severe threat and harassment campaign against her and her family?

A) Absolutely nothing.

(7) August 10, 2022: The Post Millennial, a conservative website, published an article that profiled Boston Children’s Hospital’s public statements and videos about its gender-transition treatments and surgery offerings for minors

Here is the article that The Post Millennial published

Boston Children’s Hospital gleefully encourages surgical, pharmaceutical ‘gender transition’ for teens, The Post Millennial, August 10, 2022.  Excerpt:

Boston Children’s Hospital boasts about having the first pediatric transgender surgery center in the country offering a “full suite of surgical options for transgender teens.” […]

As noted in the story, the previous day a citizen journalist, Chris Elston, shared videos that Boston Children’s Hospital uploaded to YouTube about its gender-transition surgery offerings for minors (all of which have now been removed, by BCH):

Chris Elston, otherwise known as “Billboard Chris,” shared a tweet on Tuesday of a video in the Children’s Hospital playlist called “What happens during a gender-affirming hysterectomy?”

In that video, Dr. Frances Grimstad describes the process of getting a “gender affirming hysterectomy.”

It is “very similar to most hysterectomies that occur. Hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, cervix, which is the opening of the uterus, and the the fallopian tubes which are attached to the sides of the uterus,” Grimstad says with a smile. Grimstad says that some “gender affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries,” in short, the entire female reproductive system. […]

A bulletin on the Children’s Hospital Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMS) homepage reads, “At Boston Children’s, we are proud to be home to the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program in the United States” that has treated “more than 1,000 families to date.”

Boston Children’s Hospital founded the Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMs) program in 2007 and welcomes patients as young as 3 years old. “At GeMS, our mission is to assess and care for gender-diverse children, teens, and young adults.”

GeMS provides “a variety of options for medical transition” that include prescribing puberty blockers, testosterone, estrogen and plastic surgery from their surgery center. “Our skilled team includes specialists in plastic surgery, urology, endocrinology, nursing, gender management, and social work, who collaborate to provide a full suite of surgical options for transgender teens and young adults,” the website reads.

(8) August 11, 2022: The citizen-journalist behind The Post Millennial’s story, “BillboardChris,” published a Tweet containing his recording of the key video that Boston Children’s Hospital quickly removed, after the story broke

At 12:58pm on August 11, 2022, Chris Elston (aka “Billboard Chris”) posted this Tweet, containing the video that Boston Children’s Hospital quickly removed, after the story broke — but which he’d made a recording of:

Here is the archived video (press play button for sound):

(9) August 11, 2022, Ten minutes later, Raichik shared the Tweet by “BillboardChris,” featuring the video by Boston Children’s Hospital describing “gender-affirming hysterectomies” for minors

Ten minutes later, at 1:08pm, Raichik shared “Billboard Chris’s” Tweet, containing his archive capture of the Boston Children’s Hospital’s video, to which she added the comment, “Boston Children’s Hospital (@BostonChildrens) is now offering “gender affirming hysterectomies” for young girls.”

To recap:

  • Raichik was the third source to post the 33-second video by Boston Children’s Hospital, discussing sex-reassignment surgery offerings for minors; the first was “Billboard Chris,” and second was The Post Millennial
  • Raichik did not violate any of Twitter’s rules

Soon afterward, other prominent conservative websites reported what had been discovered about Boston Children’s Hospital — and more:

Boston Children’s Hospital Touts Gender-Affirming Hysterectomies, The Daily Wire, August 11, 2022.

Boston Children’s Hospital Touts Hysterectomies For ‘Trans’ Minors, The Federalist, August 12, 2022.

(10) August 12, 2022: PolitiFact claimed Boston Children’s Hospital does not offers sex-reassignment surgeries to minors — despite a plethora of evidence indicating otherwise

The next day, the left-leaning PolitiFact posted this “analysis”:

No, Boston Children’s Hospital doesn’t provide hysterectomies for children, PolitiFact, August 12, 2022 (archive captured on September 1, 2022)

Here are several indications that would have caused a responsible, non-partisan “fact-checker” to take more time before making a blanket assertion that Boston Children’s Hospital is not performing gender-reassignment surgery on minors:

(1) PolitiFact admitted that it reached out to Boston Children’s Hospital regarding this matter — but heard nothing back:

“The Center for Gender Surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital did not respond to PolitiFact’s request for comment.”

(2) As shown in an archive capture taken on July 27, 2022, several weeks before this incident erupted, of the Boston Children’s Hospital’s “Center for Gender Surgery” web page openly promoted itself as being:

“…the first pediatric center in the country dedicated to the surgical care of transgender patients”…”[W]e help young people with gender identity concerns transfer seamlessly to surgical care if and when they are ready. The Center currently offers vaginoplasty, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, chest reconstruction, breast augmentation, facial harmonization and other gender affirmation surgeries…”

As if that’s not enough, soon after Raichik posted her Tweet, Boston Children’s Hospital shut down its “Center for Gender Surgery” page altogether.  An archive capture taken two weeks before Raichik’s Tweet, on July 27, 2022, is here; An archive capture taken on September 26, 2023 shows the page is gone, here:

Furthermore, on August 18, 2022, Fox News reported that (a) Boston Children’s Hospital remove references to the vaginoplasty services it previously advertised for minors on its website, and (2) according to BCH’s own records, more than 1/3 of the breast-removal surgeries it performed were on minors.

Boston Children’s Hospital deletes references to vaginoplasties for 17-year-olds amid online furor, Fox News, August 18, 2022. Excerpt:

Boston Children’s Hospital is facing a wave of backlash over its Center for Gender Surgery that performs mastectomies on teenagers as young as 15, as well as since-deleted wording on the hospital’s website that claimed teens as young as 17 can get vaginoplasties. […]

A study published in March that was approved by the institutional review board of Boston Children’s Hospital said.. between January 2017 to August 2020, the CfGS performed 177 chest surgeries and that 36.7% of those surgeries were on patients younger than 18, with the youngest being 15. During that time period It also performed 27 genital surgeries, including 5 vaginoplasties.

That action took place one day after this video, by Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire, was published:

The Video Boston Children’s Hospital Doesn’t Want You to See, The Daily Wire, August 17, 2022.

An archive capture of the PolitiFact story taken more than one year later, on October 2, 2023, proves that the supposedly “nonpartisan fact-check” service never updated its story to reflect these indications that it had gotten the story so wrong, and had falsely accused Raichik of lying about it — which helped fuel even more threats against her. 

Addendum: Seven weeks later, on October 7, 2022, Boston Children’s Hospital was caught yet again, for publicly making this mind-boggling claim — on video — which it promptly deleted, once it was exposed:

Boston Children’s Hospital says kids know they’re trans ‘from the womb’ in deleted video, NY Post, October 7, 2022.

(11) August 25, 2022: Raichik published the results of her own, initial investigation into another children’s hospital, in which its website and two staffers claimed it performs sex-reassignment surgery on minors

Two weeks after her Tweet about Boston Children’s Hospital created such a firestorm, Raichik published the results of her new, original investigation, into the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. — including a recorded phone call with hospital staff members, and screencaps of its website — that indicate it, too, performs hysterectomies in minor females:

AUDIO: Children’s hospital admits to performing hysterectomies on trans minors, LibsOfTikTok, August 25, 2022.  Excerpt:

Last week, I was viciously attacked by the media for raising awareness about Boston Children’s Hospital offering gender-affirming hysterectomies for young girls. Left-wing activists called for me to be banned from social media for drawing attention to a practice Boston Children’s Hospital was publicly advertising. The attacks lasted for a week. They gaslit the public and denied that these types of procedures were being performed on children. According to the media, I was baselessly stoking anti-trans outrage and therefore deserved to be silenced.

Undeterred, I decided to focus on finding out if other children’s hospitals were engaged in these barbaric practices, too. That’s when I stumbled across Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. Scrolling through their site, I came across a page which says the hospital treats young patients between the ages of 0 and 21 for gynecology care and gender-affirming medical treatments, including hysterectomies.

On her report page, Raichik posted the audio of the recorded phone call between her and the Children’s National Hospital, in which two representatives openly admitted performing hysterectomies on 16-year-old girls.

Below is one of the screencaps that Raichik posted to support her concerns (highlighted by TheADLExposed); an archived version of this page, “Pediatric Gynecology Program,” captured one week earlier, on August 18, 2022, is here. Note that the page clearly states:

“The Pediatric Gynecology Program coordinates care for patients with a range of surgical and non-surgical concerns. The following services are available for patients between the ages of 0-21: gender-affirming hysterectomy”:

(12) August 26, 2022: The Washington Post attacked Raichik again, claiming she “falsely suggested the hospital is performing hysterectomies on transgender children” — despite the evidence she provided to prove it

Children’s National Hospital: Libs of TiKTok recording on trans hysterectomies triggers threats, The Washington Post, August 26, 2022. Excerpt:

Children’s National Hospital has been inundated with threatening emails and phone calls after an influential right-wing Twitter account published a recording that falsely suggested the hospital is performing hysterectomies on transgender children, a hospital spokeswoman said. The torrent of harassment was accompanied bysocial media posts suggesting that Children’s be bombed and its doctors placed in a metal shredder.

The recording, made by Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik, features twotelephone operatorsat the renowned D.C. medical facility stating — in response to Raichik’squestions — that a 16-year-old trans boy would be eligible for a hysterectomy at the hospital’s gender development clinic. Children’s has not disputed the authenticity of the recording but said the employees provided inaccurate information. […]

Right-wing media outlets, including Fox News and the Daily Caller, ran stories based on the erroneous information provided [by Raichik] in the telephone conversations.

(13) September 2, 2022: The Washington Post attacked Raichik for the third time, claiming she is “inspiring” threats of violence against children’s hospitals

Since August 11, 2022, as awareness grew of Boston Children’s Hospital and Children’s National Hospital openly offering sex-reassignment surgeries to minors, Americans were shocked and alarmed that such things could be happening.

Several threats were issued against those two hospitals by anonymous actors.

On September 2, 2022, The Washington Post dove in for its second assault on Raichik in less than five months (primary byline: Taylor Lorenz), explicitly calling her Tweets “attacks” on those hospitals, and blaming her for threats of physical violence against them — and repeating the false claim that Boston Children’s Hospital offers sex-reassignment surgery (including hysterectomies) for minors:

The headline (emphasis added by TheADLExposed):

The article:

Libs of TikTok blamed for threats on children’s hospitals, The Washington Post, September 2, 2022.  Excerpt:

After gaining a large Twitter following in the spring as she baselessly accused LGBTQ teachers of being pedophiles and “groomers,” Raichik began criticizing children’s health facilities earlier this summer, targeting a hospital in Omaha in June and another in Pittsburgh in August. The attacks resulted in a flood of online harassment and phoned-in threats at both hospitals.

Next came threats against children’s hospitals in Boston and Washington, D.C., after Raichik posted tweets targeting them. […]

After Raichik falsely claimed on Aug. 11 that Boston Children’s Hospital performs hysterectomies on children, the hospital received a barrage of “hostile internet activity, phone calls, and harassing emails including threats of violence toward our clinicians and staff,” the hospital said in a statement. The hospital does provide hysterectomies to certain patients over 18.

Think about what the Post is insinuating:

  • That if a citizen discovers something shocking is happening to America’s children, that irreversibly, surgically alters them for life, and that a hospital is offering this service, they should keep their mouths shut, lest they be responsible for “inciting threats” against said hospital
  • That if a citizen journalist decides to publish documentation to support their contentions, while not using their actual name, they become fair game for the most influential “news” organizations to devote resources to root out their real-life identities and locations, publicize this information, and even show up at their and/or their family’s homes

Upon becoming aware of the upcoming Washington Post hit piece on her, Seth Dillon, the owner of the popular political satire site The Babylon Bee, who had recently hired Raichik, offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for issuing threats against these hospitals, which was also announced on September 2:

Libs Of TikTok, Babylon Bee CEO Team Up To Find Person Who Made Bomb Threat To Hospital, The Daily Wire, September 2, 2022.  Excerpt:

Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon offered thousands of dollars for information leading to the arrest of whoever called in a fake bomb threat to a children’s hospital this week. […]

Boston Children’s Hospital received the threat Tuesday night, sparking a large police response as the hospital was searched and ultimately no explosive devices were found.

Some leftists tried to pin blame for the fake bomb threat on Chaya Raichik, founder of the Libs of TikTok, after she published video of the hospital promoting “gender-affirming hysterectomies” in a video even though the patients it sees are children and young adults up to the age of 21.

Raichik has been locked out of her Libs of TikTok Twitter account for several days.

“I condemn all acts/threats of violence in the strongest of terms,” Raichik told The Daily Wire. “I’m hoping the Boston PD saw Seth’s generous offer and will use their full force to catch the perp who made the bomb threat.”

On September 15, 2022, the FBI arrested the suspect behind the bomb threat hoax.

FBI charges Massachusetts woman with Boston Children’s Hospital bomb threat, NBC News, September 15, 2022. Excerpt:

The FBI said Thursday that an arrest has been made in connection with a bomb threat against Boston Children’s Hospital last month.

Catherine Leavy of Westfield, Massachusetts, was arrested without incident and charged with one count of making a false bomb threat by telephone, according to charging documents filed in U.S. District Court for Massachusetts. She faces up to five years in prison.

FBI Special Agent Joseph R. Bonavolonta said at a news conference Thursday that the threat was one of “well over a dozen” against Boston Children’s Hospital. He said authorities are investigating others.

On September 27, 2023, Leavy pleaded guilty to the hoax bomb threat.

(14) September 16, 2022: The ADL finally broke its silence about Raichik — not to defend her, but to join in the assault on, and incitement against her

From the time Raichik was doxxed until September 15, 2022, the ADL never once rose to Raichik’s defense, or condemned the escalating threats being made against her and her family

Raichik broke no laws.  She never doxxed anyone.  She merely shared videos that leftists uploaded of themselves, with her commentary.  The American people, and particularly parents of school-age children, found Raichik’s posts to be so important that her follower count steadily rose.

For this, she and her family were subjected to a harassment and threat campaign, both online and off, all of which began when one of America’s most legendary news organizations doxxed her — and a second one claimed it’s justified.

And yet, the ADL said absolutely nothing in this Jewish blogger’s defense, or to condemn this shameful behavior by “news” organizations, which resulted in her and her family having to flee their homes, in terror.

Instead, on September 16, 2022, the ADL published a report that libeled Raichik, and effectively dumped kerosene on the inferno of hatred to which she and her family were being subjected.

The ADL’s war against Raichik started with this “report” it produced, which in large part targeted Raichik:

What is “Grooming?” The Truth Behind the Dangerous, Bigoted Lie Targeting the LGBTQ+ Community, ADL, September 16, 2022 (archive here). Excerpt (emphasis added):

No person or entity has been more influential at inciting this hate than the anti-LGBTQ+ Twitter account Libs of TikTok, operated by former real estate agent Chaya Raichik. The account, which has over 1.3 million followers and has been praised by the likes of DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw and Fox News host Tucker Carlson, reposts selected out-of-context social media content created by LGBTQ+ people and liberals in order to generate outrage and stoke anti-LGBTQ+ hostility. Raichik has frequently characterized LGBTQ+ people and allies, as well as those who teach about LGBTQ+ issues and healthcare professionals who offer gender-affirming care, as “groomers.” The individuals, events, schools and organizations targeted by Libs of TikTok are frequent targets of harassment, threats and violence.

In spring 2022, the Kiel Area School District in Wisconsin launched a Title IX investigation into three middle school students for allegedly bullying a transgender classmate, including by repeatedly addressing them by the wrong pronouns. Libs of TikTok publicized the investigation in mid-May; the district soon received a wave of harassing calls and emails. The school district, as well as the town library and City Hall, also received multiple bomb threats, and the FBI arrested a California man for threatening to kill a district employee. In response to the threats, the city cancelled its annual Memorial Day parade, and the district went virtual for the rest of the school year. The district closed the Title IX investigation in early June.

In August 2022, Boston Children’s Hospital became the target of a major harassment campaign after Libs of TikTok falsely asserted that the hospital was performing gender-affirming hysterectomies on “young girls,” a claim that has been debunked by PolitiFact and USA Today.

As shown in Sections (7)-(10) on this page, all the ADL did here was to repeat the debunked allegations against Raichik — without saying a word about the legitimate concerns that any rational American would have about the evidence that she, “Billboard Chris” and The Post Millennial provided.

The hospital suffered a barrage of harassing phone calls and emails as a result and has also been targeted twice by bomb threats. Libs of TikTok has since targeted other hospitals with false claims about gender-affirming care, leading to similar harassment and threats against these facilities. Anti-LGBTQ+ figures have also accused numerous doctors who provide gender-affirming care of engaging in “child mutilation.”

Libs of TikTok essentially acts as a compass, guiding anti-LGBTQ+ activists towards targets for harassment and protest. Drag events, such as family-friendly drag shows and “drag queen story hours,” have become a popular target for anti-LGBTQ+ activists, who believe such events “sexualize children” and are encouraging young people to embrace an “immoral lifestyle.”

As shown earlier: One example of the “family-friendly drag shows” that Raichik has been exposing since early 2021 — about which the ADL says nothing:

The ADL’s “report” then lists out a number of public LGBT and drag events, many of which were targeted or open to children, against which the public spoke out, and some right-wingers issued threats — then insinuates that because Raichik posted information about these events, she was somehow responsible for such outcomes.

These facts bring to mind two questions:

(1) Did the ADL ever accuse the Washington Post and its “journalist” Taylor Lorenz of “acting as “compasses… guiding leftist activists towards Raichik at her home, for harassment and protest”? Absolutely not.

(2) Did the ADL ever publicly insinuate that they were responsible for inciting the threats and harassment to which Raichik was being subjected? No — as various searches prove.

(15) December 30, 2022: The ADL smears Raichik, again

On December 30, 2022 (29th in other time zones, as indicated in the following screencap), the ADL ramped up its assault on Raichik, on Twitter (archive):

The link in the ADL’s Tweet led back to its September 16, 2022 “report,” What is “Grooming?,” which (as shown in this September 26, 2023 archive capture), never retracted its libelous claim against her regarding her reporting on Boston Children’s Hospital.

(16) January 24, 2023: The ADL smears Raichik, again

Less than one month later, on January 24, 2023, the ADL tripled-down on its crusade against Raichik, in its latest “report,” which it promoted (archive) on Twitter:

The new “report” to which the above Tweet leads (archive) shows Raichik is the ADL’s #1 target, at the top of the page:

Online Amplifiers of Anti-LGBTQ+ Extremism, ADL, January 24, 2023. Excerpt:

Libs of TikTok (LoTT) is an anti-LGBTQ+ extremist social media account run by Chaya Raichik. Using false allegations of “grooming,” “child abuse” and “indoctrination,” LoTT frequently targets educators, healthcare professionals and drag performers who either identify as LGBTQ+ or work on LGBTQ+-related issues. Notable narratives promoted by LoTT include an “investigation” into Boston Children’s Hospital and a mega thread vilifying drag shows during Pride Month. Those targeted often report experiencing threats, harassment and real-world violence in the wake of the LoTT campaign against them.

Curiously, the ADL openly acknowledges that social media platforms’ policies can “have harmful consequences beyond the platform, as we’ve seen online hate fuel offline violence”

Yet here, the ADL itself is using falsehoods and raw incitement to legitimize the harassment and threat campaign against Raichik — all while positioning itself as the moral arbiter of proper online activity.

(17) March 7, 2023: The ADL smears Raichik, again

An archived version of this Tweet is here:

That Tweet led to this article:

At CPAC 2023, Anti-Transgender Hate Took Center Stage, ADL, March 7, 2023. Excerpts:

The conference featured an array of speakers including prominent Republican politicians and policymakers as well as right-wing pundits. They were joined by conspiracy theorists like Jack Posobiec, purveyors of COVID disinformation like Dr. Robert Malone and anti-LGBTQ+ extremists like Chaya Raichik. […]

Speakers primarily focused their attacks on gender-affirming healthcare, targeting providers and hospitals with lies and sensationalized accusations of “child mutilation.”

Curiously, the ADL made no mention of this video that Raichik shared, on March 2 — five days before it published its latest smear against her:

As closely as the ADL obviously monitors Raichik’s Twitter page, it is implausible to believe that it didn’t see the above video — or literally dozens (if not hundreds) more like it.

(18) March 9, 2023: Conservative Jews expressed outrage at the ADL’s assault on Raichik

In response to the ADL’s latest smear of Raichik (the item in Section 17), Jewish attendees at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference responded with an impassioned defense of her — and their views on the ADL’s behavior:

‘Peak Parody’ and ‘Beyond Deplorable’: Jewish CPAC Attendees Slam ADL’s Attack on Orthodox Jewish Speaker – Daily Signal, March 9, 2023. Excerpts (emphasis added):

“For me, this really crosses a line,” Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, an organization that represents more than 2,000 Orthodox Jewish rabbis in public policy, told The Daily Signal. “Just weeks ago, we praised the ADL, but to demonize biblical values and highlight an observant Jew as an example of ‘extremism’ and ‘hate’ is simply projection on their part.”

Menken, who was speaking in his personal capacity as a CPAC attendee, added that “the extremists are those who call it ‘normal’ to mutilate minor children and put [intact] biological men in women’s private spaces, and by siding with that, the ADL helps encourage antisemitism on all sides.”

Nachman Mostofsky, executive director and vice president at the Amariah, an organization dedicated to promoting Torah values, told The Daily Signal in an interview Wednesday that ADL has become “a self-fulfilling prophecy of the creation of antisemitism.”

He criticized ADL for creating “this mystique” that antisemitism is everywhere. “When you call young men ‘Nazis,’ and they’re not, and you keep doing that, they become ‘Nazis,’” he warned.

ADL’s promotion of transgender identity “has nothing to do with antisemitism,” he argued. “Clearly, the ADL either wasn’t there at CPAC or they were there and they’re lying. I didn’t hear any transphobia. What I did hear was anti-grooming.” […]

David BenHooren, publisher of The Jewish Voice and a CPAC attendee, called the ADL article “beyond deplorable.”  “Besides creating Libs of Tik Tok, Ms. Raichik … deeply cares about her family and families throughout this country,” the publisher told The Daily Signal in a Wednesday statement. “I can tell you that she is definitely not homophobic or anti-gay in any way, shape, or form.”

Raichik herself also responded to the attack. “The ADL is doing what every left-wing organization does; turning the people who are harming kids into the victims and calling the people pointing it out all kinds of slurs,” she told The Daily Signal in a written statement Wednesday. “What they’re failing to realize is that the children that proponents of gender ideology are targeting are themselves the real victims.”

(19) The continuing threat campaign against Raichik — about which the ADL has said absolutely nothing

The following items are presented with the most recent, first:

Libs of TikTok: If Left Isn’t Attacking You, ‘You’re Doing Something Wrong’, The Daily Signal, March 24, 2023. Excerpt:

Chaya Raichik, creator of the Libs of TikTok account on Twitter, says she has “had to file a few police reports from threats” that she received.

“That’s really part of the reason why I was anonymous to begin with, because as I started exposing all this stuff, the Left started coming after me, and their reaction is not something that I ever expected,” Raichik, author of the children’s book “No More Secrets: The Candy Cavern,” says.

“And then, when I saw that, the backlash and the way that they just wanted to silence me in any way they can,” Raichik says, “I was like, ‘I think I’m going to stay anonymous because this is actually pretty scary.’”

“But then of course, I was doxxed, so my name was shared, and I couldn’t really be anonymous anymore.

In March 2023, after Raichik published her first children’s book, “No More Secrets: The Candy Cavern,” about the need to teach children to tell their parents if any adult makes them feel uncomfortable regarding discussions about sex, gender, transgenderism, etc., a public event had to be canceled because of threats against her:

Libs of Tik Tok’s NYC book event for kids canceled after receiving threats of ‘unsafe behavior’, Fox News, March 18, 2023. Excerpt:

An upcoming New York City book event hosted by “LibsofTikTok” account owner and conservative children’s book author Chaya Raichikwas canceled after receiving threats.

“Brave Books,” the publisher of Raichik’s conservative children’s book “No More Secrets: The Candy Cavern,” tweeted Friday that its Sunday story hour featuring Raichik, and Brave Books CEO Trent Talbot, had been canceled due to threats of “unsafe behavior” from some attendees.

The publisher wrote, “We have received threats of potentially inappropriate and unsafe behavior at the NYC story hour with Chaya Raichik on Sunday and have advised Chaya we cancel the event. With children being involved, we don’t want to take any chances.”

These are just some of the many instances in which Raichik described, or posted the threats she’d been receiving — about which no major “news” organization, or the ADL, said a word.

(20) May 2023 – today: Raichik helps expose more harm being done to children by leftist political operatives masquerading as educators, medical professionals, etc. — and continues to be blamed for threats made against them, because of her reporting and commentary

October 4, 2023: A “senior reporter” with VICE insinuates that Raichik is responsible for threats made against those she reports on. Raichik responds in kind:

The private exchange between them:

October 4, 2023: Teacher gloats about displaying Black Lives Matter and Pride flags in his classroom….but prohibiting the US flag:

October 4, 2023: School board president receiving death threats for leading charge to allow only US and state flags to be displayed in classrooms

October 25, 2023: Concerned parent escorted out of school board meeting by police officer, for displaying a sexually explicit image from one of the books that are available in the children’s library

November 6, 2023: USA TODAY incites more hatred against Raichik; ADL silent

(21) October 24, 2023: Raichik threatened to sue the ADL if it doesn’t remove her from its “Glossary of Extremism”

Background:

  • The ADL put Raichik in its “Glossary of Extremism” sometime in September 2022
  • On October 24, 2023, Raichik published a Tweet that demanded the ADL remove her from its “Glossary of Extremism” by October 31, under the implicit threat that she would sue them if they didn’t
  • On October 25, the ADL publicly acknowledged receiving Raichik’s threat, and claimed it is “investigating” her complaint
  • On October 26, National Review published a detailed story about the ADL’s crusade to vilify and publicly destroy Raichik
  • On October 27, Raichik posted a reminder to the ADL that it had 4 days left to comply with her demand

UPDATE, October 28, 2023: After being threatened with a lawsuit, the ADL removed Raichik from its “Glossary of Extremists” directory

  • On October 28, 2023, Raichik announced that the ADL had relented to her demand, which caused outrage among far-left influencers.

(22) Additional reading on children’s hospitals performing sex-reassignment surgery on minors — including prepubescents

July 2023: Profile of a Portland, OR trans surgeon, who explained — on video:

  • The difficulties of castrating prepubescent boys, then turning what was their penises into vaginas (vaginoplasties), because “there’s so little skin to work with”
  • The long-term problems such surgeries may cause the patients, about which his profession knows little — but anticipates learning more in coming years

Portland surgeon dubbed ‘Dr Frankenstein’ reveals drawbacks of his genital ops on trans adolescents, Daily Mail Online, July 14, 2023. Excerpts (emphasis added):

A surgeon dubbed Dr Frankenstein has candidly revealed the downsides of performing genital re-shaping surgeries on transgender children and adults, in a video which has since been deleted.

In the video, Dr Blair Peters, a self-described ‘queer surgeon’ with ‘he/they’ pronouns, pink hair and a ‘passion’ for genital surgeries, says patients face fertility, sexual pleasure and other lifelong post-op complications. […]

Last year, Dr Peters faced a backlash for a since-deleted tweet remarking on having performed breast-removal surgeries on three young adults and adolescents in a single day.

Here is a key excerpt of the longer video interview (linked in the comments) with Dr. Peters, posted by a member of Oregon’s House of Representatives:

Gender surgeon promotes bizarre range of ‘nonbinary surgeries’, UnHerd, Excerpt:

This week, a revealing interview with a prominent American gender surgeon named Blair Peters (he/they) suddenly went private.

I can understand why. In the video, Peters demonstrates just how far his field has strayed from the most basic tenets of medical care (the distinctly old-fashioned oath to “first, do no harm”) into the wild frontier of helping patients realise their “embodiment goals” through life-altering, function-destroying surgical procedures.
