Taxpayer Nightmare: Federal Judge Forces Gender Surgeries for Convicted Child Predator — Missouri Must Lock In Protections with Amendment 3
A federal judge just ruled that a convicted child predator deserves taxpayer-funded “gender-affirming” surgeries — including facial feminization, laser hair removal, and voice therapy — while serving a 21-year sentence for filming and distributing child porn of his own 10-year-old son.
Brian Buckingham, now calling himself “Nani Love,” pled guilty to five felonies, including aggravated sexual assault on a child. Yet a Seattle court says his “gender dysphoria” outweighs his crimes, ordering the Bureau of Prisons to pay for his transition — despite President Trump’s executive order banning such procedures for inmates.
This is not compassion. It’s insanity. A judge just put the “feelings” of a pedophile above the justice owed to his victim — and Missouri must make sure it never happens here.
The Horror Story: From Child Abuser to “Victim”
Buckingham’s depravity was uncovered when Discord flagged videos of him assaulting his son. Agents found hours of footage, animal-rape discussions, and grooming of minors. Before sentencing, he suddenly declared himself a woman and demanded “life-saving” transition care to stop suicidal thoughts.
The Bureau of Prisons initially approved hormones. Then Trump’s January 2025 order stopped the taxpayer funding. Buckingham sued — and Judge Ricardo Martinez sided with him, calling denial “torture.” Now, the Bureau must pay for his cosmetic procedures.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent: criminals weaponizing identity politics to demand “affirmation” on the public’s dime. As Amanda Stulman of Keep Prisons Single Sex warned, it’s an “unending onion” of gender ideology invading every taxpayer-funded system — including prisons.
Missouri’s Wake-Up Call: Don’t Let It Happen Here
This is not a coastal problem. It’s a warning. When gender ideology trumps biology and morality, predators exploit the chaos.
Missouri fought back with the SAFE Act, banning experimental trans procedures on minors until 2027. But that law expires — and radicals are already planning their next push, using the same “reproductive rights” language that nearly passed in 2024.
Amendment 3 (2026) is Missouri’s answer. It will restore pro-life protections for the unborn, make the SAFE Act permanent, guarantee parental consent for all gender and reproductive decisions, and block activist judges from rewriting our laws to appease predators and ideologues.
As Rep. Brian Seitz said, “Real reproductive health means protecting children — born and unborn — from exploitation.”
The Stakes: Predators Protected, Parents Silenced
Buckingham’s victim will carry scars for life — yet the system calls his abuser “brave.” That’s where this movement leads. Prisons turn into gender spas for felons while victims are ignored.
Missouri’s Amendment 3 ensures it stops here. No hormones or surgeries for minors. No “affirmation” schemes for predators. No judicial loopholes. Just clear, moral, constitutional protection for families.
Parents across social media are connecting the dots: “If Seattle funds pedo transitions, Missouri needs Amendment 3 now.” They’re right. This is the line in the sand.
Fight Back: Protect Missouri Families
This case proves what’s at stake — not just for prisons, but for every school, clinic, and courtroom in America. Missouri must draw the line.
Amendment 3 is that line. It closes the loopholes, protects our kids, and locks in sanity where the federal government has surrendered it.
