A Texas doctor has surrendered her medical license after being sued by Attorney General Ken Paxton over her prescribing of so-called cross sex hormones to children in the state. In October 2024, Paxton sued May Lay, a Dallas-based doctor, for providing "high-dose cross-sex hormones to twenty-one minor patients for the direct purpose of 'transitioning' the child’s biological sex," using false diagnoses and billing codes. This went against a bill passed in Texas in 2023 that prohibits medicinal and surgical procedures for the purposes of changing a child’s gender. Lau had previously entered into a Rule 11 agreement, which prohibited her...

CV NEWS FEED // After a special investigatory commission, Chile’s Chamber of Deputies called for an immediate end to all government programs that promote subjecting children to “gender transitions,” marking the first time a Latin American country has legally confronted gender ideology. The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) reported May 15 that the investigatory commission found that the state failed children experiencing gender dysphoria or distress on medical, legal, and ethical levels. “It is clear that the current programs, under the guise of accompaniment, have operated as a gateway to irreversible medical and hormonal transition for children, without the necessary scientific,...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey excoriated transphobes for tying a mass shooting to their hateful ideology. At a press conference Wednesday about the Annunciation Catholic School shooting Wednesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called out groups and individuals for attacking the trans community in the wake of the horrific event. “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity,” Frey said. “We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating from a place of our love for...

His mother reportedly used to work at the school before retiring in 2021. Some of the writings were written in Cyrillic, but New York Post reporter Diane Nerozzi translated some of the pages (via NY Post): Transgender Minneapolis shooter Robin Westman spoke of murdering “filthy...

In a total capitulation to the Trump Administration, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles announced last week that it is shutting down its notorious clinic that foisted sex change procedures on minors. The announcement marks an abrupt shift for the Children’s Hospital, which had earlier seemed inclined to fight the Trump Administration in court over its threat to cut off funding to any hospital that provides so-called gender affirming care for youths.

Jeff Younger did everything a father could do to save his son. He fought like hell in court. He pleaded with judges. He went public. And still, his ex-wife, a radical leftist pediatrician with no biological tie to the child, was given full authority to chemically castrate their son, James, and transition him into “Luna.” James was just 8 years old. In court, Anne Georgulas admitted she conceived James and his twin brother, Jude, using in-vitro fertilization with a donor egg. She carried the pregnancy, but genetically, she isn’t the boys’ mother. That didn’t matter to the court. Ideology did....

Researchers across the United States and beyond who study transgender health are learning that their National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants are being abruptly canceled. Two such killed grants were revealed on Monday and Science has now identified another 14 focused on transgender human health that, on 28 February, were terminated by way of a letter from NIH saying each project “no longer effectuates agency priorities.” ...[T]he agency placed seven employees on administrative leave this week—all of whom had formerly worked in NIH’s defunct Sexual and Gender Minority Research Office (SGMRO).

A federal district judge in Indiana has once again ordered the state Department of Correction (IDOC) to arrange a sex reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate convicted of reckless homicide of a baby, marking the latest development in the ongoing legal saga challenging an Indiana law banning the procedure. The case, now in its second year, involves inmate Autumn Cordellioné's request for sex reassignment surgery. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) first filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections in 2023 on behalf of Cordellioné, challenging an Indiana law that prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer...

Assessment based on activism, prescriptions for puberty blockers and 'procedures' on kids.. A new database has revealed the "Dirty Dozen," the 12 "worst-offending" hospitals in America for inflicting transgender agenda injuries on children. And Mat Staver, the chief of Liberty Counsel, which has battled the leftist, and unscientific, ideology that males can be turned into females and vice versa, said, "Mutilating children for profit is criminal. It is biologically impossible to change one's gender. "The insanity of gender ideology and greed has made a mockery of the medical profession's duty to 'do no harm.' There are only two genders, and...

Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on transgender surgeries and treatments on animals, House Oversight Committee Chairman Eli Crane (R-AZ) confirmed yet again this week. According to reports, the committee revealed that $241 million in taxpayer dollars were used to study transgender surgeries and treatments on animals. What is perhaps more, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci gave the green light to the bulk of these cruel and unusual experiments. “Insane, right?” Crane said of the report on Tuesday. The confirmation is welcomed but the news is not new, as taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste...

The U.S. Army just made it official—transgender individuals are no longer allowed to enlist, and all gender transition procedures for current service members are coming to a halt. This isn’t a suggestion. It’s a directive. The Pentagon is shutting down an era of social experiments within the military, and the message is clear: identity politics have no place in national defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s memo leaves no room for doubt. Effective immediately, new enlistments of individuals with gender dysphoria are paused, and gender-related medical procedures—including surgeries and new hormone treatments—are off the table. The military isn’t a platform for...

If you go by CBS News, you'll see them reporting that HHS, the CDC, and the FDA were ordered by a D.C. judge to restore deleted webpages with "health information." As Amuse clarifies, the deleted webpages were dedicated to sex change operations and gender ideology. How a judge can demand which webpages must be included escapes us.

Cristina Hineman has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest single provider of abortion, contraception, reproductive care, and sex education.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has faced multiple lawsuits for allegedly infringing on religious liberty during his time as Minnesota governor. Walz encountered legal challenges for lockdown policies that religious organizations argued were discriminatory, placing stricter requirements on churches than businesses. He also encountered pushback after signing a law that stripped faith-based schools of funding for a program that offers free college credits to high school students. Walz determined in a May 13, 2020, executive order that retailers would be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity, but left religious gatherings capped at ten people.

BOSTON -- Couples filling out marriage certificates in Boston will no longer be required to identify their sex or gender under a new policy adopted by the city Tuesday. “Our fundamental charge in public service is ensuring that our services and opportunities reach everyone, and that starts with affirming and supporting constituents of all identities,” Mayor Michelle Wu said in a statement. “Boston must continue to work to dismantle the historic inequities and injustices that persist. This update to Boston marriage licenses is a huge step in building a city that is truly inclusive," she added.

An April 5 article in The Economist highlights what many conservatives and skeptics have been saying for years about gender transitioning in minors. The piece argues American health associations that specialize in transgenderism are making suggestions about trans-identifying youth that are not grounded in sound science. The Economist article claims the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has analyzed the psychological effects of puberty blockers, “for its part,” but the study allegedly did not find high-quality evidence. The Endocrine Society (ES) focused on the side effects of puberty blockers rather than studying any kind of “mental improvement” brought about...
