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...

This time it’s Jane’s jungle Earlier this month, NYC’s largest Gothic cathedral celebrated the annual feast day of St. Francis of Assisi and his ancient Blessing of the Animals. For 11 years, until the pandemic, I hosted a similar animal’s holiday at St. John the Divine. We loved all — the young, babies, healthy, strays, police dogs, the sick, frail, old, rescues, a frog, fish in containers, turtles, horses outside, sheep, pigs, cows, camels, donkeys, chickens, goats. Even a choir and a rabbi for the Jewish animals. Police rerouted traffic. I remember His Eminence Cardinal Dolan flat on the floor...

TRENTON — New Jersey Democrats and prominent state leaders have expressed concern that Black and Hispanic voters — historically forming the backbone of the party — may not turn out for Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D) in her quest to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy (D). Some have chalked up the apathy as lingering from last year’s election between former Vice President Harris and President Trump, as well as years of failed outreach between the two parties. Others say Sherrill simply isn’t doing enough to court their votes.“I believe that although our next governor has to represent the entire state —...

For most of us, we look back on our younger years, whether they were spent as college students, broke twenty-somethings, or something else, usually fondly. It's that time period where you leave home to get your foot in the door of life and learn how to support yourself, not just financially, but in many other ways as well. But we still carry some of that old high school baggage of just wanting to be "cool" and fit in with our friends, for whom many of us become our second family. But as our lives evolve, so do the things we...

A devout Christian couple in Massachusetts lost their foster care license after refusing to sign a state policy requiring them to affirm foster children’s fake gender identities. It’s a decision the pair says forces them to choose between their faith and caring for vulnerable infants. Lydia and Heath Marvin, who have fostered eight children under age 4 since 2020 — many with serious medical needs — were told by the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families in April that their license would not be renewed because they declined to agree to the policy’s clause promoting LGBTQ. The requirement mandates that...

LEXINGTON, MA — A Pride-parade picture book showing bondage gear and drag nuns is set to appear in Lexington’s 2025–2026 kindergarten social studies curriculum, sparking fury among parents who say the district has crossed the line between inclusion and age-appropriate teaching. The revelation was first reported by Massachusetts Informed Parents, a watchdog group that obtained lesson materials from Lexington Public Schools (LPS). According to their review, the Pride-themed book This Day in June is listed as part of a new “Social Studies” unit for five-year-olds — a class typically reserved for topics like community, geography, and basic civics. But the...

Kennedy, now 89 years old, no longer hears Supreme Court cases. He formally stepped down seven years ago during the first Trump administration. "I loved sitting on the bench," he said. Asked whether he would want to be there today, he replied, "The only reason I left – I love the Court – but I left for something that I love more, which is my wife, Mary." … And as the "swing justice" on the Court, says Greene, Kennedy cast the deciding vote on some of the most consequential political and cultural issues of his era: the 2000 Presidential election,...

Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox Montel Williams is now trying to steer the conversation away from the truth...refusing to call Charlie Kirk’s assassin what he was: an unhinged leftist with hate in his heart. Instead, Montel is spinning it as a love story...a young man defending someone he cared about. Wow. This is absolutely twisted. Nothing says “love” like murdering someone in cold blood. “There are people trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a right thing.” “And what we’re really talking about, hear me, because I’m going to throw you when I say this… we’re talking about a...

The blame game over suspect Tyler Robinson's motives for shooting Charlie Kirk continued to play out this weekend with some on the left continuing to claim that Robinson was a Groyper or someone critical of Charlie Kirk but on the far right.There have been a lot of twists and turns in this story already. There was a report in the Guardian Friday that Tyler's high school classmate said he was pretty far left on everything but by Saturday those comments had been deleted from the story. However, CNN published its own story Saturday which included some similar comments from a...

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests that have rocked the Vuelta a España filled him with “pride” as large demonstrations await the race’s final stage in Madrid. The protests, which have targeted the Israel-Premier Tech team, have disrupted several stages of one of cycling’s three grand tours and cast doubt on whether the 21-day race could be completed. The activism has forced some stages to be shortened and occasionally caused crashes as demonstrators burst onto the course, prompting criticism for threatening rider safety and harming Spain’s image. In his first public comments on the debate, Sanchez...

Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman. Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin. Federal and state authorities...

Politicians in at least 51 countries used anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric during elections, NGO finds Rights group also finds rise in openly gay, bisexual and transgender people running for office in 36 countries Rachel Savage in Johannesburg Thu 11 Sep 2025 00.01 EDT Politicians in at least 51 countries used homophobic or transphobic rhetoric during elections last year, from depicting LGBTQ+ identity as a foreign threat to condemning “gender ideology”, according to a new study of 60 countries and the EU. However, there were also gains for LGBTQ+ representation in some countries. Openly gay, bisexual and transgender people ran for office in...

Short summary of updates: The risk level for transgender youth has sharply escalated in several states, with this month marking one of the most dangerous increases in years. The surge stems largely from mass compliance with Trump’s executive orders targeting gender-affirming care, leading many states to see some or all of their youth clinics shutter. State attorneys general could intervene by enforcing state equality protections—forcing clinics to fight the federal government in court rather than preemptively cut off care—but none have done so. For transgender adults, risk levels have risen significantly in only one state—Maine—though the broader increase comes through...

Lesbian women using their partner’s egg in IVF may face higher medical risks, research suggests. The study, the first of its kind, found that such women may have a greater chance of complications such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. Co-IVF, also known as reciprocal IVF, is an option for lesbians and trans men who want to start a family. Embryos are created from the egg of one partner and donor sperm before being implanted into the second partner to carry the pregnancy.
