Actress Jamie Lee Curtis attacked religious conservatives in a recent speech, accusing them of “championing” homophobia and transphobia in the “name of religion,” adding that they must be “exposed and silenced.” “These are very dangerous times and I’m very happy to be in a room with people who are fighting the best fight they can fight,” Curtis said to an audience at the Out100 Celebration, a red-carpet event honoring those who Out magazine has named as trailblazers in the LGBTQ community, according to a report by Fox News. Ironically, the Halloween star went on to say that she “prays” that...

Transphobia, in basic terms, refers to any expression of fear or hatred directed toward folks who are transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming. Like other forms of discrimination and prejudice, transphobia often stems from a lack of understanding and insight around: what it means to be transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming the many careless actions and words that can cause harm While transphobia tends to decrease as awareness around gender increases, it remains a major problem in some communities. It doesn’t just cause distress by invalidating someone’s identity, though that’s harmful enough. It also often leads to hate speech, hate crimes,...

Controversial transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney called out the “extreme amount of transphobia and hate” after winning Breakout Creator at the 2023 Streamy Awards — declaring she would celebrate the win by cracking open a beer.

It's the last day of "Pride Month," or "Take it up the Hershey Highway, Breeder" month. Here are a few ways to give it a proper send-off. 1. Burn a "Pride flag" in the public square, step on it and spit on it. 2. Spend it with your wife or husband, having hetero sex or just enjoying each other's company. 3. Make a list from IMDB of all the movies that those 250 "celebrities"* appeared in, and make sure to never watch them again. 4. Find out what your kid's teachers are telling them about gender ID, etc., and if...

A New York standup comedian triggered a Dallas audience when she made a joke about transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for still having “no tits” because “he is a man” — prompting the sensitive audience members to storm out. “Why has it been a year of girlhood and still no ---s? That’s day one, OK?” Chrissie Mayr told the crowd at Hyena’s Comedy Nightclub over the weekend, referencing the gender-affirming top surgery. “If I’m transitioning to a dude, day one I’m getting a ---- — and I’m getting the biggest one you can find.

The term “transphobia” is incredibly loaded, as most accusatory modern terms are. It wrongfully suggests that the person arguing against the idea of gender fluidity is only doing so because they are uncontrollably afraid of people with gender dysphoria. I’ve yet to see anyone’s fight-or-flight instincts get triggered when someone who is transgender gets near them, but there’s an incredibly strong possibility that the people who are transgender haven’t had that experience with anyone either. While I have no doubt that they’ve encountered emotionally-based resistance, I’m betting it’s never been a complete and total panic that resulted in violence or...

This was revealed to them after he did the unthinkable; he liked a Rowling tweet.The tweet that Hamill liked was a response by Rowling...

One hundred and forty-six people in Halifax, Nova Scotia wait on a list to borrow a library book. A question hangs over them: Will activists let them read it? The book is mine — Irreversible Damage — and it is an investigation of a medical mystery: Why is the number of teenage girls requesting (and obtaining) gender reassignment skyrocketing in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia and Europe? In Great Britain, it’s up 4,400% over the last decade. Though it shouldn’t be, this has become a highly controversial area of inquiry. The book is an exploration of why so many girls...

According to a trove of whistleblower materials, Disney has launched a “diversity and inclusion” program, called “Reimagine Tomorrow,” which includes trainings on “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” “white fragility,” “white saviors,” “microaggressions,” and “antiracism.” Disney claims that America has a “long history of systemic racism and transphobia” and tells employees they must “take ownership of educating yourself about structural anti-Black racism” and “not rely on your Black colleagues to educate you,” which is “emotionally taxing.” White employees are told to “work through feelings of guilt, shame, and defensiveness to understand what is beneath them and what needs to be healed.” They...

Men’s Health is looking to get podcaster Joe Rogan blacklisted because he’s “putting lives in danger.” Oh, I’m sure Men’s Health would deny that all day long: Harrumph, harrumph, harrumph; we’re not looking to blacklist or cancel anyone, we’re just publishing an op-ed that disagrees with him, harrumph, harrumph, harrumph… Gimme a break. We all know how this bullshit of “safetyism” works on the fascist left. You fascists accuse someone you disagree with of making you or POC’s or whoever feel “unsafe,” and suddenly expression that speech become “violence” and that physical act of violent speech must be blacklisted and...

The pond is still for officially for women only, but it all depends on what the word “women” means. It is considered transphobic to say that it means “women.” The City of London Corporation who are responsible for the facility said self-identifying trans women were now...

A small hop, skip and jump to homophobia, Islamophobia, trans-phobia and all the gazillion other ‘phobias’ that are becoming socially unacceptable The restrictions on free speech in today’s universities are nothing less than the attempt to take control of language to prevent the free exchange and discussion of ideas. It all starts innocuously enough; who doesn’t want to end racism? And if the use of certain pejoratives becomes socially unacceptable, then let’s all pitch in! However, the progressive mind is never satisfied unless it is able to impose its will on everyone else.
