Baltimore Health Commissioner discusses distributing monkeypox vaccines. Unbelievable. Check out ESPECIALLY at c. 5:40 mark, where she starts about the “truly marginalized” and puts CLASSIC spin on LGBTQ weirdoes being most likely to get this disease! Her descriptions are even pretty sick - basically condoning really immoral behavior, like “transactional sex” that they “rely on”.

@JohnStossel “Trans people should be allowed to experience sports,” says trans athlete/scientist Joanna Harper. Ok. But how can that be done fairly? Clip...

Teen athletes have traditionally been classified as "boys" or "girls" so that girls can participate in sports without having to compete against boys who are usually stronger and faster than girls. This system worked as long as everyone agreed on which athletes were girls and which athletes were boys. Today some disagree about who qualifies as girls and who qualifies as boys. One thing hasn't changed. There are two different genetic types of athletes. One type has two "X" chromosomes. The other has an "XY" combination of chromosomes. Athletes who have an "XY" combination of chromosomes are usually stronger and...

A 24-year-old man from Catalonia, Spain named Manel Munoz has had two fins implanted into his skull. Munoz, who is known artistically as Manel De Aguas claims to identify as a “trans-species,” which means that he wants to live his life, at least partly, as another species.The silicone fins that have been attached to each side of his head help him fit in with his “cyborg” identity.Munoz says that he has never felt entirely human, so he has sought to become the person he truly believes himself to be.

For the past eight weeks, demonstrators have come out to protest police brutality and systemic racism, and more recently the presence of federal officers. A large protest in Portland, Oregon Sunday night started peacefully but intensified early Monday, leading to the use of tear gas by federal agents, following a recent pattern. Demonstrators have been raising their voices against police brutality and for racial justice. Earlier, a bag containing loaded rifle magazines and Molotov cocktails was found at a park near where the protests have erupted for two months since the death of George Floyd, police said. A photo of...

Suicide rates in the military were higher in 2018 compared to the previous five years despite efforts to prevent such deaths, according to an annual Pentagon report released Thursday. A total of 541 active duty, National Guard and Reserve troops committed suicide last year, the Department of Defense Annual Suicide Report found. The figure included 187 Army troops, 79 Navy sailors, 77 Marines and 63 Airmen, as well as 118 Army National Guard and 17 Air National Guard members.

SNIP Three cases before the U.S. Supreme Court this term now seek to clarify or extend the meaning of Title VII’s employment provision. Employees in Zarda v. Altitude Express and Bostock v. Clayton County allege employer discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Alongside these two cases, a claim of discrimination on the basis of gender identity is being brought against the R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes under the same employment provision of Title VII. As evidenced in the struggle of the civil rights movement, Title VII was intended to fulfill a distinct and remedial legislative purpose that was...

ransgender advocates are manipulating medical definitions to get a diagnosis without the ‘stigma’ of having a ‘mental disorder.’ One of the first major successes of the “gay liberation” movement in the United States was the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA’s) 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the “DSM”). Early activists in the movement knew they would never persuade the public that they were normal as long as doctors said they were sick. The fact that the decision was more political than scientific complicates the history, but the goal was clear. Like homosexuals, transgender...

<p>Once upon a time, in 2015, a writer in San Francisco named Michelle Tea got the idea for “Drag Queen Story Hour”: men in full drag reading children’s books to kids and parents in programs aimed at providing “positive and unabashedly queer role models.”</p>

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) and 15 other Democratic senators signed a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) assailing a Trump Administration policy denying illegal unaccompanied minors access to abortion. "Long ago the Supreme Court decreed that it is every woman's constitutional right to abort her unwanted child," the letter said. "The Administration's attempt to get around the Court's decree by asserting it doesn't apply to females in the country illegally is reprehensible. Their argument that providing free abortions to illegal immigrants would only encourage more illegal immigration is irrelevant. Providing a refuge for those seeking abortions...

New Democrats are pushing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to publicly condemn Donald Trump's move to bar transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military, a decision the party's defence critic says is based on "ignorance and hate." "Prime Minister Trudeau must denounce this policy immediately in order to demonstrate that Canada not only respects human rights but that we will stand up against discrimination, even when the source is our closest neighbour and strongest ally," Randall Garrison said in a statement Wednesday. Garrison, who also serves as the NDP critic for LGBTQ issues, said the Trump administration is using hate...

This morning, I stood in front of hundreds of Brighton College pupils in assembly and spoke about the experience of being a trans woman. In the past few days, they've found their school suddenly the focus of press interest, after headteacher Richard Cairns scrapped traditional male and female uniforms to accommodate the needs of transgender children. He made the decision to offer all pupils the option of trousers or a skirt, so that children with gender dysphoria can dress as the gender they feel they really are, rather than the one they were born into. Mr Cairns explained to me...

Colorado Springs police responded this afternoon to reports of an active shooter at a Planned Parenthood facility:

I don’t know what’s scarier about this story — that a woman lost her membership at Planet Fitness because she complained about a transgender woman in her locker room or the fitness club’s “no judgment zone” policy. It’s incidents like this that convince me that in the near future, public spaces will be forced by government to build “mens’” rooms, “ladies’” rooms,” and a “choose your sex” room. And the demand for that will not come from transgender people but from straights, who will refuse to put up with the farce that someone can literally “decide” their own sex. The...

Some of you will have noticed that my observations on the subject of transgenderism/transsexualism have not been met with universal approval, especially among transsexuals. No surprise there. The responses came in predictable forms, mostly juvenile profanity. But there was a bit more. The Telegraph’s Tom Chivers (a guy called Tom?) offered a response under the question-begging headline: “Whether or not Laverne Cox is a woman is not a question of biology; it’s a question of language.” (I assume that Mr. Chivers, like most columnists, does not compose his own headlines, but it is an accurate summation of his argument.) That...

Yet another phony report of an “attack” on a self-proclaimed sexual minority has given the fraudulent Left a new “bloody shirt” to wave in their never ending war on heterosexuals. Last Tuesday a California (of course) high school transsexual reported he was savagely beaten by a group of “evil” straight white thugs because he is a transsexual. The “attack” left parents students and staff members reeling because it was the second such attack at the Contra Costa school during this school year. All concerned parties immediately played their politically correct, assigned role in the wake of this “terrible tragedy.” Of...

FULL TITLE: Working up a sweat: Macho man Chaz Bono grabs a drink after punishing workout You would think the pressure of completing a sex change would be enough for anyone in a single year. But Chaz Bono is hitting the gym in a bid to get ready for his latest venture into showbiz. Cher's former daughter is clearly looking to get into tip-top shape for his reported place in the cast of the next series of hit show Dancing With The Stars. He's got bottle: Chaz prepares to have a thirst quenching drink after pushing himself in the gym...

Does the P.C. stand for "politically correct?" The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that P.C. Air, a Thai airline startup, is making a point to hire transsexual flight attendants. The airline has recruited six so far and plans to look for more. "I think these people can have many careers, not just in the entertainment business, and many of them have a dream to be an air hostess. I just made their dream come true," airline executive Peter Chan told the Herald.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Saturday that the failed Democratic effort to pass the DREAM Act in the lame duck session dealt a blow to future talks on a wider immigration bill. “It was an exercise to try and taint Republicans with Hispanic voters, knowing that the DREAM Act under these circumstances could never pass,” Graham told reporters in the Capitol after the bill sputtered on the floor. “What they have done on the DREAM Act is hurt overall comprehensive immigration reform,” he said. The DREAM Act, which would give legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the country...

Alexis Houston -- the singer who held a press conference last week to announce she never had sex with "Today" show host Matt Lauer -- had some interesting yesterdays. She used to be a man who called himself Wellington Houston. Whitney Houston sued Wellington (whose original name was Stuart) in 1996 because he was claiming to be her cousin. Whitney alleged that Wellington used the false relationship to defraud an elderly New York doctor of $100,000 using credit cards and forged checks, the AP reported at the time. Wellington resurfaced in 2001 with a demo CD titled "All's Well." The...
