A person in Canada wants taxpayers to fund surgery to make them a vagina while also keeping a functional penis, in a first-of-its-kind case. The Ontario resident, 33, was born male but identifies as non-binary, meaning they are not exclusively male or female 'but literally a mix', court documents show. Ontario's Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) initially denied the request on the grounds that the procedure is experimental and is not performed in Canada... Now the case is with Ontario's Superior Court of Justice, which is due to issue its ruling in the coming months. It is unclear how much the...

The world is waking up to the horror that is 'gender-affirming care.' Of course, that term is one of the biggest lies ever told, but it becomes even more horrific when it is applied to children. This weekend, the French Senate joined the growing number of nations trying to ban the barbaric practice of sterilizing and mutilating children before they're even CLOSE to an age where they are capable of informed consent. To date, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Holland, and the UK have either banned or placed severe restrictions on trans surgeries and hormones for minors, along with 22 states in...

During a speech to the U.S. Air Force, transgender Space Force Col. Bree Fram demanded everyone use pronouns in their emails as a way to enhance “winning war fighting strategies”. Yes, really. “All too often, I hear leaders talk about providing everyone with dignity and respect like it’s an aspirational goal, that ‘s not good enough,” said Fram. “Dignity and respect is the bare minimum, it’s the floor of where we can be, we must set our sights higher and focus on intentional inclusivity, because there are still far too many people out there, not just LGBTQ individuals, that feel...

Is it possible to speak obvious truths without being chastised? It depends entirely on whether that truth supports The Narrative™ or challenges it. The most powerful tool to enforce compliance with the dominant Elite ideology is the requirement that the language we use be chosen and defined by that Elite. Legally and common sensically everybody knows that men do not belong in women's sports and women's spaces. So for those who want to make that happen the answer is to redefine the word "women" to include everyone who wants to be one. Hollow out words and pour in whatever meaning...

Biological males may have a latent capacity to produce small amounts of milk THE MALE breast is an evolutionary enigma. Human males are born with nipples and milk ducts—traits that appear early in embryonic development, before sex differentiation. What is more mysterious, however, is why male mammals of all kinds have not evolved to use this equipment to feed their offspring. The plumbing is intact: human males are known to be able to produce a milky nipple discharge in rare circumstances. That phenomenon is now in the spotlight after one trust in England’s National Health Service (NHS) stirred controversy in...

When men punched, pushed or slapped us, that was 'domestic abuse', 'assault'. Now it has a different name – 'sport'. The latest exhausting headline: a girls basketball game at a Massachusetts high school had to be abandoned earlier this month after three female players were injured at the hands of a trans student. Footage of the incident at the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell is shocking....
