DeSantis Gave ‘Women’s Spirit’ Award to Trans Man, Calling Him ‘Shining Role Model’ & ‘Mentor & Advocate to Children’
The National Pulse ^ | November 6, 2023 | JAKE WELCH

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis, a self-styled enemy of woke culture and politics, gave a women’s community spirit award to a transgender activist for the biological man’s contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Sunshine State last year, lauding the man’s “shining example of a positive role model,” and referring to him as “Ms.”.

Ashley Brundage, a former vice president of DEI in the financial industry and board member of the LGBT advocacy group GLAAD, who claims to have “worked tirelessly to promote awareness and acceptance of gender identity and expression,” received a letter from the Florida Governor after being nominated for the prize. The letter from Governor DeSantis stated:

“I appreciate your dedication and hard work as a mentor and advocate to children and women.”

– Ron DeSantis to transgender man, 2022.

“As Governor, and the father of three children, I believe that community involvement is essential as we work to improve and enrich the lives of others and engage in the issues that impact Florida families… Keep up the great work,” his letter added.

DeSantis has forced his embrace of DEI and transgenderism deep into the closet, preferring to build much of his governorship and presidential campaign around his supposed “anti-woke” policies. He has regularly called for the elimination of DEI in the Sunshine State and remarked earlier this year, for example, “The whole experiment with DEI is coming to an end in the state of Florida.”

Asked by POLITICO to comment on the letter, the DeSantis campaign ignored requests.

He was probably too focused on his own height standing next to the lady to realize she was really a man. I blame his staff for walking him into this. (Not really)

Once again, men are using, allowing, or permitting men to define women! So when are men going to stop this demeaning of women? Tell me why I should support this man who despises and degrades women?

1. Did he do this knowingly?
2. Did he do it in person?

If the answer to either one of these is ”No,” this is a biased, “gotcha!” article.

It is instructive that the title leads you to believe one thing, but the article itself another.

Do not fall for fake news. This sounds like a form letter to this weirdo who was nominated for something by other weirdos.

Look, DeSantis is a typical RINO, but +20 IQ points.

The people who invented him were very clever giving him the tranny and LGBTQ+ stuff as a chew toy to impress “conservatives”, or what they think of as conservatives.

It’s really important for actual conservatives to understand that our rulers care nothing at all about those issues, except that they are useful to set Americans at each others throats. If it would be helpful to global governance, a rules based international order, global downward pressure on wages, and expansion of debt slavery to throw all the trannies in ovens, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and the rest would do that without a second thought.

It’s time for RDS to return to the job he was hired for (and at which he appears to have been somewhat successful). The Deep State that created him has thrown him away, if he has future ambitions it’s time to drop the President nonsense and get to work making Florida great again.

Exactly!

DeSanctimonious is just an improved GWB II.

Use the social issues to placate conservatives while supporting a Globalist NeoCon set of policy positions.

“Once again, men are using, allowing, or permitting men to define women!”

Au contraire, it is women who are allowing it. Women overwhelmingly support feminism and critical gender theory, not men.
