Eight Democrat-nominated judges shoved transgender surgery closer to becoming a constitutional right via their decision Monday in a federal appeals court. No Democrat-nominated judges voted with the six Republican-nominated judges who strenuously denounced the court’s decision, further demonstrating how transgenderism has quickly become a litmus test for ambitious progressives in the Democratic Party. The majority decision in the Fourth Circuit federal appeals court said existing constitutional rules forbidding sexual discrimination also forbid denials of transgender surgeries in state-run healthcare programs. Any denial of the surgeries cannot be enforced without first deciding if the patient is male or female by checking...

The leftists at the Harvard Crimson have spoken out against transgender athlete bans and claimed that the evidence to support the case that men have a physical advantage over women is “less conclusive.” However, in the process of making the assertion, the article ignored all evidence to the contrary to support their own claim that transgender athlete participation is wholly benign. In the college paper’s April 16 editorial, entitled, There Are Many Obstacles Facing Women’s Sports. Trans Athletes Aren’t One, writer Jonathan G. Yuan writes for The Crimson Editorial Board that the “science” is “less conclusive” that “transgender women hold...

Gender ideology has a reality problem. Just look at the latest cover story for New York Magazine, in which the trans-identified writer Andrea Long Chu denounced reality itself, writing that “the belief that we have a moral duty to accept reality just because it is real is, I think, a fine definition of nihilism.” Well, that is a … novel philosophical assertion. It is tempting to dismiss Chu’s denunciation of reality as an insane gambit by a flailing ideology, but declaring war against reality might just be crazy enough to work. This approach provides the collapsing gender ideology movement a...

The UK’s first transgender national news anchor has reported “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling to the police for “misgendering” her as a “man” on social media. India Willoughby, 58, reported having “contacted Northumbria Constabulary” over a series of X posts Sunday by the outspoken author. Rowling, also 58, called Willoughby “just a man reveling in his misogynistic performance of what he thinks ‘woman’ means: narcissistic, shallow and exhibitionist.” Rowling had “definitely committed a crime,” Willoughby alleged to Byline TV Wednesday, claiming the best-selling author was guilty of a “cut-and-dry offense.”

If 30% of the population was gay by birth, they we would see that number in all animals. That we don’t, is proof that homosexuality is not a natural occurrence. The natural occurrence of homosexuality would be a defective mutation that would take that animal’s DNA out of the gene pool. Fun Fact: Did you know they justify promoting homosexuality to children because it will reduce the birthrate and thereby change the weather?

Perhaps the best example yet of “woman face.” Ugly, aggressive, and emotional? Sounds like the typical “trans” influencer on the prowl, hunting for some social media likes and an unsuspecting victim they’re looking to cast as the prejudiced and misgendering bully. With that in mind, take a look at the video below shared by Libs of TikTok on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday: Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok Trans YouTuber bullies and degrades a pizza man who barely speaks English for “misgendering” himThe exchange, between a New York pizzeria worker who clearly doesn’t speak English and a verbally-abusive man in drag asking...

Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 17, 2023Musician Scott Spalding replied to Rowling’s post with the comment, “Vote Labour, get a two-year stretch!”His...

An organization called “Flee Red States” is helping LGBT people who live in Republican-dominated states find homes in “less hostile” states, and even in different countries. Really. Real estate broker Bob McCranie started the service in Texas. McCranie called it a “sad thing” to have to change the nature of his business from selling Texan homes to helping residents find housing elsewhere but said it was necessary because Texas legislation is “unsafe” for LGBT people. McCranie told Austin local news outlet KXAN that he felt the need to expand the service because of demand from other states.

Target announced earlier this week that the company was removing some LGBTQ-themed items from shelves and moving displays intended to honor Pride month to the back of the store in response to a public backlash from the right. But what happened at Target goes far beyond just some people calling for a boycott.

Last weekend, Sonoma Academy junior Athena Ryan, who is reportedly trans, placed second in the 1600-meter run at the North Coast Meet of Champions of California finals.

In the video, the former employee of a Starbucks coffee shop in Beresford House in Southampton berated a customer, refused service, and hurled accusations that the patron was transphobic after being offended by a misgendering. The incident took place at a Starbucks licensee location in April. Those stores are partially owned by an individual who has invested in the coffee giant's business and represent more than 50% of the Starbucks International portfolio. "Don't ever call me transphobic. EVER!" the customer said. "[sic] called me a her… You're being transphobic, Karen. Now get out," the former employee yelled.

In an ironic twist, San Francisco Pride’s campaign to push back against transphobia, to be unveiled this week, has been disrupted by its own brush with transphobia. SF Pride was all set to make a big statement this week about anti-LGBTQ attacks by announcing that the battle cry for this year’s event would be the iconic Twisted Sister rock anthem, “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” Choosing the 1984 song was intended to show how the community was going to push back on the hundreds of pieces of anti-LGBTQ and anti-drag community legislation being passed around the country and the endless...

Controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas slammed her “feminist” adversaries as misogynistic transphobes who reduce women to the value of their reproductive abilities. The NCAA gold medalist told fellow trans swimmer Schuyler Bailar that her own University of Pennsylvania teammates displayed fraud feministic beliefs when they wrote a 2022 letter asking the division to bar Thomas from competition. “They’re like, ‘Oh, we respect Lia, as a woman, as a trans woman or whatever, we respect her identity, we just don’t think it’s fair.’ You can’t really have that sort of half-support where you’re like, ‘Oh, I respect her as a woman...

As of March 2023, 30 states have restricted access to gender-affirming care or are currently considering laws that would do so. The bills carry severe penalties for health care providers, and sometimes families, who provide or seek out gender-affirming care for minors.
