We’ve known for a long time that LGBT activists have a persecution fantasy. That’s why they’ve come up with so many hate crime hoaxes over the years. This week they came up with another one, and it’s one of the most absurd ones we’ve seen in a long time.

Just going to share this here for the people who think pushing radical gender-theory nonsense is compassionate: He considers transitioning from male to female the biggest REGRET of his life. VERY INTERESTING 3:28 VIDEO AT LINK.................... There are many young men and women like this out there. This guy didn't even get into the significant and dangerous health effects of injecting cross-sex hormones, both for men and women. How many lives have been hurt/ruined by the gender cult?

Since he was sworn in four months ago after an airtight confirmation vote, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has continued to be at the center of controversy. We have seen Hegseth’s use of the Signal messaging app on an unsecure personal phone to discuss sensitive military operations, his firing of three senior aides, and a Pentagon chock-full of internal turmoil. ince he was sworn in four months ago after an airtight confirmation vote, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has continued to be at the center of controversy.

Joe Biden looked lost at a Waffle House after his bad debate with Trump on June 27, 2024. A man in a beige suit signaled Jill Biden and helped get Joe out fast. That man was Anthony Bernal, 52 years old. He works closely with Jill Biden as her top helper and also helps the president. People now wonder if he had more power than anyone knew, especially as Joe's health got worse. A former Biden aide said Bernal had “the most power inside the White House.” A book named Original Sin said Bernal was rude, strict, and tried hard...

The Boston Globe has apologized for its headline that called Algerian Imane Khelif a “transgender boxer.” The heavily criticized headline ran in both the print edition of the paper last week and on its mobile edition with a story written by the Associated Press’ Greg Beacham. “Transgender boxer advances,” it read. However, on Saturday the Globe issued a statement in which it apologized for the inaccurate nature of the headline. “A significant error was made in a headline on a story in Friday’s print sports section about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif incorrectly describing her as transgender. She is not. Additionally,...

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif will not be competing as expected in an upcoming World Boxing women's competition until completing a mandatory sex test, the organization announced on Friday. "Imane Khelif may not participate in the female category at the Eindhoven Box Cup, 5-10 June 2025 and any World Boxing event until Imane Khelif undergoes genetic sex screening in accordance with World Boxing’s rules and testing procedures," a letter sent by World Boxing to the Algerian Boxing Federation read. The letter also stated that World Boxing decided to adopt mandatory sex tests this month. "These new eligibility rules were developed with...

Days after Algerian boxer Imane Khelif filed a legal complaint in France over online harassment she faced during the 2024 Olympics, some high-profile people were revealed as part of the case. Both Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling have been named in the complaint, which was filed against X on Friday, according to Variety. “J. K. Rowling and Elon Musk are named in the lawsuit, among others,” attorney Nabil Boudi told Variety on Tuesday.

The pro-LGBT brain rot has seemingly made its way all the way to the world Olympics. No matter what any blue-haired gender studies major tells you (they likely told Bach anyway), chromosomes are the most accurate way to tell a person’s sex. Some in the LGBT community have suggested otherwise by citing the existence of intersex individuals but, as one 2002 report shows, the prevalence of intersex individuals has been greatly exaggerated.

Controversial Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was apparently switched out at the last moment from carrying her nation's flag at Sunday night's Olympics closing ceremony. It had been reported earlier that Khelif, who won gold in women's boxing amid a much-publicised gender row, had been selected to carry the flag of Algeria at the glittering final ceremony at the Stade de France in Paris. However the honour went to gold medal gymnast Kaylia Nemour and bronze-winning track star Djamel Sedjati instead, as Khelif still made an appearance as part of the wider team. Khelif grinned widely as she held up her...

Nothing captures the hate experienced during another term of President Donald Trump more starkly than the victimization of transgender people.

Here is the SAM plan for Democrats to talk to American males. Document: Speaking With American Men 2025 Strategic Plan

The New York Times published a hard-hitting report, Sunday, laying out the ways in which President Donald Trump has monetized his office. But the Gray Lady didn’t exactly let Democrats off the hook Sunday — as they also ran a devastating feature on the party’s efforts to win back young male voters. In the piece — written by national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher — some brutal details were reported about the Democratic party’s efforts to bring young men back into the fold. “Democratic donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters,...

Top Democratic operatives and donors have been hobnobbing in “luxury hotels” while trying to figure out why the party is shedding men and the working class — moves that have liberals have slammed as out of touch. In one instance, liberal super PAC Future Forward hosted a gathering in the Ritz-Carlton resort in wealthy Half Moon Bay, California, to apprise donors on what went wrong in 2024. Prominent figures such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) were reported in attendance. Some of the elite gatherings featured appetizers like short-rib tostones, mini lobster rolls, beef...

Gender Affirming Surgeries and Complications While some trans and non-binary people transition their gender socially without changing their bodies, or with only hormone therapy, many choose to have surgery to help align their body with their sense of identity, and to decrease dysphoria. Some of these procedures are small, and fall into the category of minor plastic surgery, while others are more comparable to major invasive surgeries. It is important to remember that there is no one way to be trans or non-binary, and different patients will have had some, all, or none of these procedures. In addition, there is...

Yesterday, the American Parents Coalition sent a warning about YMCA summer camps: They’ve embraced the transgender agenda, so you have no idea who will be sharing your daughter’s shower or her cabin. This trajectory perfectly illustrates O’Sullivan’s First Law, which predicts the inevitable decline of Western institutions.Although few remember this anymore, the YMCA started life in 1844 as the “Young Men’s Christian Association.” The primary founder was George Williams, a London draper (i.e., a working man), who was disturbed that young men who came to London had no wholesome, moral way to spend time when their workday ended. Instead, they...

Female gymgoers in California's Bay Area are up in arms that they must share their locker room with a pre-operative trans woman named Sammy, leading to a tense standoff in one of the most liberal regions of the country. Protesters have picketed outside two area YMCAs that Sammy is known to frequent, including the Stonestown Family YMCA in San Francisco, where dozens of members have petitioned to force her into the designated gender-neutral space. YMCA officials have defended Sammy's use of the women's locker room, citing her 'civil rights' despite outrage from other members who feel uncomfortable seeing a hulky...

The Pentagon rolled out a pulse-pounding new ad for Memorial Day weekend, narrated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump, that touted efforts to root out wokeness in the military. Declaring that America’s fighting men and women are “laser-focused on our mission,” the spot shows service members taking part in intense training drills and battlefield combat while dramatic music swells and excerpts from speeches delivered by Trump and Hegseth play in the background. “No more distraction, no more electric tanks, no more gender confusion, no more climate change worship. We are laser-focused on our mission of warfighting,” the defense...

In deep blue Washington state, where state leaders say men in women’s sports is just fine and dandy, one tiny school district is defying that policy. In early May, the Quilcene School Board passed a resolution requiring that student-athletes participate in the gender of their birth, according to the Seattle Times. The 3-2 vote bucks state law and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rule book. ... However, it is in keeping with the Trump administration’s definition of Title IX, which says women’s sports are only open to those born female. Chris Reykdal, Washington state superintendent of public instruction, has said...

It was an extraordinary scene. Donald Trump, recently re-elected as president of the United States, found himself surrounded by women and girls in the East Room of the White House. The date was 5 February 2025, and Trump was signing an executive order entitled ‘Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports’. As the US president took to his desk and prepared his pen, he invited his all-female audience to draw closer. ‘Secret service is worried about them?’, he joked. ‘If we have to worry about them we have big problems.’ There was laughter, applause, a hubbub of palpable relief that an...

President Trump on Tuesday threatened to cut federal funding to California if the state continues allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. Trump blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom in an early morning post on Truth Social saying the state under his leadership “continues to ILLEGALLY allow MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.” “I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go???” Trump said of Newsom. “In the meantime I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!” The...
