    New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu has joined 24 other states in signing legislation barring biological males from playing in girls’ sports.The new law bans trans-identified athletes in grades five through 12 from playing on teams that do not align with their gender identity as indicated on their birth certificates.The bill passed by the Republican-led Legislature would require schools to designate all teams as either girls, boys or coed, with eligibility determined based on students' birth certificates “or other evidence.” Supporters of the legislation said they wanted to protect girls from being injured by larger and stronger transgender athletes.Sununu signed...

    NYU professor of developmental psychology Niobe Way sat down with ABC News to discuss her book, "Rebels with a Cause: Reimagining Boys, Ourselves, and Our Culture," which explores how society can better raise boys. Over the years, Way has studied what she refers to as" boy culture" Her book includes case histories and studies that outline the negative impacts on boys when cultures and societies prioritize independence and assertiveness over our inherent abilities to care, listen and rely on one another.

    MINEOLA, NY — After five months of legal wrangling, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has signed a trans athlete ban into law. Prior to putting his signature on the bill, Blakeman said he was there to "celebrate what I believe is landmark legislation that will protect the integrity of women's sports, the fairness of women's sports and the safety of women's sports." Blakeman initially put forth an executive order in February banning trans athletes from competing at county facilities. However, Attorney General Letitia James would take Blakeman to court for taking the controversial action. Nassau County Democratic Minority Leader Delia...

    Europeans Aren’t As Crazy As We AreOr, to be more specific, their left isn’t as crazy as our left. One instance among many is the United Kingdom’s relatively sane reaction to the “trans” hysteria that gripped the world’s leftists a few years ago. In America, “trans” ideology remains rampant, but in Europe it has been reined in. Thus, for instance, Britain has shut down its notorious Tavistock “child gender identity clinic.”In the last days of the Conservatives’ majority, they enacted an emergency ban on prescription of puberty blockers for children, the heart of the “trans” regime. In the wake of...

    Despite the best efforts of leftist activists, many nonwhite parents are fighting back against the LGBT agenda infecting public schools.Like many left-leaning public school districts across America, the leadership of Fairfax County Public Schools just outside our nation’s capital is majority white, despite the region’s racial diversity. Meanwhile, the district’s white, leftist leaders, who incessantly claim to be inclusive, are ironically ignoring parental objections to teaching radical gender ideology in schools.At the end of June, the school board voted to include gender ideology in its seventh-grade sex-education curriculum. In response to a survey in which 84 percent of respondents opposed...

    President Biden was in New York Friday for the grand opening of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center on the 55th anniversary of the historic riots that birthed America’s gay rights movement. The 81-year-old, still licking his wounds after his abysmal performance during Thursday’s presidential debate with Donald Trump sent shockwaves across the country, was joined by Gov. Kathy Hochul and legendary musician Elton John at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. The 1969 Stonewall Riots “marked a turning point for civil rights in America and inspired the hearts of millions of people around the world,” Biden said, adding that...

    On the final day of Pride month, anti-Israel agitators disrupted the New York Pride parade by blocking the route and vandalizing and destroying floats. Video posted on social media shows a group of anti-Israel agitators sitting in the street with posters and shouting "Free Palestine" and "From the sea to the river, Palestine will be free." "It is certainly a more active presence this year in terms of protest at Pride events," Sandra Pérez, the executive director of NYC Pride told the Associated Press. "But we were born out of a protest." Another video shows anti-Israel protesters vandalizing floats and...

    In The Detransition Diaries, authors Jennifer Lahl and Kallie Fell show how transgenderism preys on abused and troubled people.The Detransition Diaries tackles one of the thorniest and most scandalous medical movements of the 21st century — the pervasive, perverse spread of genitalia mutilation and hormone experimentation in America, protected under the umbrella of “transitioning.” Nurses and bioethics advocates Jennifer Lahl and Kallie Fell undertake a comprehensive and historical study of the movement, highlighting the personal accounts of seven people who were persuaded in, and fought their way out.

    Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has given the public some clarity on his veto last week of $32 million in arts and culture grants from next year’s state budget. According to a story published in the Tampa Bay Times, DeSantis said the cause was Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival, which he characterized as being overtly “sexual” and therefore an inappropriate recipient of state funds. While it’s unclear if the Orlando festival was slated to receive any money from the grants, the state of Florida awards money for cultural projects based on a ranked list. The Fringe Festival was ranked toward...

    We live in an age of nomenclature nonsense, where leftists think that the solution to so many problems is to just rename things. Take the “ball boys” and “ball girls” at tennis tournaments, for example. Those terms are passé because they’re gender-specific, which we all know just won’t do in our enlightened world. The Australian Open and French Open have taken to calling their ball boys and ball girls “ball kids,” which is a stupid moniker. The U.S. Open refers to its ball boys and ball girls as the “ball crew,” which isn’t quite as bad.Granted, they’re mostly teenagers, but...

Hiltz, who uses they/them pronouns, charged ahead of Elle St. Pierre and Emily Mackay in the final stretch of the race, finishing with a time of 3:55:33, a trials record. All of the top eight finishers set a new personal best time, according to OutSports. Paris will mark Hiltz’s Olympic debut.

    The Texas Supreme Court ruled on Friday to uphold a Lone Star State law that effectively bans gender experimentation on children.In an 8-1 decision published on Friday, the highest court in the state confirmed the legislature’s May 2023 law prohibiting health care professionals from castrating and mutilating minors does not violate the state constitution, as a trial court had previously concluded.In fact, Justice Rebeca Aizpuru Huddle, joined by Chief Justice Nathan Hecht, Justice Jeff Boyd, Justice John Phillip Devine, Justice Jimmy Blacklock, Justice Brett Busby, Justice Jane Bland, and Justice Evan Young, affirmed in her majority opinion that the state...

    "This is who I am, Mom. Why can't you and Dad accept that I'm trans?" Shouted a 17-year-old who now identifies as a young man. What would you say if that were your son or daughter? Or perhaps this is a conversation you've had with one of your kids. My heart truly goes out to anyone who has witnessed the pain of a child struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity. As parents guided by Christian values, we are called to embody God's love and truth. But what does this call look like when faced with deeply personal and...

    Of all the Left's revolutionary movements seeking to transform traditional American liberties and culture, none is as senseless and barbaric as that of transgenderism. It's the "T" in the "LGBTQ++++Etc..." formulation. Transgenderism is simple to understand but difficult to contemplate why anybody in their right mind would adopt it as their fundamental worldview. But they do, and here's the rationale: Think you were born in the "wrong" body? Don't worry, we've got the drugs and surgical procedures to fix that! Through its deadening control of most precincts in public education and public health, as well as a mainstream media that...

    The extremism of the Biden administration apparently knows no bounds. Today the NY Times reports that the administration pushed the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) to remove age limits for transgender surgery.The draft guidelines, released in late 2021, recommended lowering the age minimums to 14 for hormonal treatments, 15 for mastectomies, 16 for breast augmentation or facial surgeries, and 17 for genital surgeries or hysterectomies.The proposed age limits were eliminated in the final guidelines outlining standards of care, spurring concerns within the international group and with outside experts as to why the age proposals had vanished.

    The Nassau County Legislature passed a bill that prevents transgender women from competing in women’s sports on Long Island.At a meeting on Monday, June 24, lawmakers voted 12-6 to pass the law. Originally introduced by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s office, the bill would require sports teams to designate whether they are a female, male, or co-ed team and is aimed to prevent “biological males” from competing on women’s teams. It echoes an executive order Blakeman originally introduced in February 2022, which tried to prevent transgender women from participating in women’s sports at all county-run facilities. The executive order mirrored...
