(DCNF)—Assistant Attorney General Glenna Goldis claimed Thursday that she was fired by Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James for publicly speaking out against child sex change procedures.
Goldis, a self-described lesbian, alleged in a statement posted to X that James’ staff had treated her “like a pest” while she was serving as an attorney in the New York Attorney General’s (NYAG) Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau due to her publicly “raising the alarm” about so-called pediatric gender medicine (PGM) providers engaging in “a dangerous consumer fraud.” The lawyer added that some of the attorneys working in James’ office had “struggled to explain” why her public statements denouncing transgender ideology in pediatric medicine were “problematic.”
“These attorneys struggled to explain why my public statements were problematic, apparently because they weren’t engaging with the issue,” Goldis wrote in her social media post. “When the general counsel finally identified an objectionable line in my blog, it was where I stated the holding of US v. Skrmetti (banning PGM isn’t discriminatory). She wrote that it contradicted James’s legal position. Indeed.”
According to her LinkedIn profile, Goldis served as Assistant Attorney General of the Consumer Frauds & Protection Bureau in James’ office from January 2022 until her dismissal in January 2026.
Goldis and James’ office each did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
Goldis further alleged that a person she described as James’ “ethics chief” had warned her it was “unethical to ‘take public legal positions that conflict with’” James’ stances. She added that it “seemed he was trying to protect James by cowing me into silence.”
Moreover, Goldis also emphasized in her social media post that she is a member of the same LGBTQ “community” which “James purports to champion.”
“I tried to explain to NYAG officials that PGM, by its nature, targets children who defy sexed norms — whom studies show are more likely to be gay when they grow up,” Goldis wrote. “PGM can reportedly leave them with sexual dysfunction, chronic genital pain, and incontinence, among all sorts of other side effects. No one in authority at NYAG showed interest in the concern that PGM may be homophobic.”
“If Letitia James actually cared about ‘LGBTQ’ youth then she’d research ‘gender’ drugs and learn what they do. Instead she glibly calls the drugs ‘safe’ and fires me for contradicting her,” Goldis continued.
Goldis wrote in a March 3, 2025 Substack post that youth gender medicine caught her attention “several years ago” after she “noticed its practitioners didn’t explain their ideas logically.”
“If maleness is just a construct detached from biology, then what makes a beard masculine?” Goldis wrote in the blog post. “Is there really an ‘innate’ difference between a short-haired lesbian like me and a homosexual female identifying as a man? This matters because testosterone causes incontinence in females, among other medical issues. But I couldn’t find gender doctors engaging tough questions. Instead they told heartwarming stories and accused anyone who doubted them of bigotry. Murky reasoning, reliance on anecdote, and wrath toward skeptics are hallmarks of a scam.”
James has been a prominent supporter of LGBTQ efforts and transgenderism in recent years. She said in an Aug. 1, 2025 statement that “in New York and nationwide, we will never stop fighting for the dignity, safety, and basic rights of the transgender community.”
The Trump administration has been spearheading a massive effort to eliminate gender ideology across the nation in recent months. President Donald Trump issued an executive order in January 2025 in which he stated the U.S. “will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another,” while also “rigorously” enforcing “all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
