Picture this, a quaint Mennonite church, where one might expect sermons on humility, simplicity, and the steadfastness of God. Instead, we’re treated to a peculiar display—a ladypastrix, adorned with a rainbow bracelet, sitting cross-legged in front of a group of wide-eyed children, spinning a tale about Noah’s ark. But this isn’t your typical Sunday school lesson—oh no. This is progressive sexual indoctrination in full bloom, where even biblical symbols are twisted into something that would make even Balaam’s donkey do a double-take. This Mennonite ladypastrix, a self-identified queer woman, decided it was time the kids learned that the rainbow God...

Disney, which infamously sparred with Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., over what the company claimed was a "Don’t Say Gay" bill, now plans to build a new theme park in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a Middle Eastern country that criminalizes homosexuality. The entertainment company announced on Wednesday that it will open its seventh park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the UAE.

A young female rugby player who was left screaming in agony after a transgender rival tore apart her knee ligaments has accused sporting chiefs of letting her down. Elena King, 20, suffered a torn ACL and MCL in January in the Netherlands after her biologically male opponent popped her left knee out of its socket with a rash challenge. Now facing lifelong pain and six months of physiotherapy just to run again, she is asking why the Dutch Rugby Association allows transgender athletes to compete against women.

Nike, the global athletic wear giant, finds itself embroiled in a public relations storm following allegations it funded a study examining the effects of "gender-affirming" medical interventions, including hormone therapy, on transgender youth, particularly athletes. This controversy erupted after a detailed article in The New York Times, which focused on Blaire Fleming, a biological male competing in women's volleyball, mentioned Nike's purported financial support for such research. Critics spanning various fields, from women's sports advocates and medical professionals to conservative lawmakers and media personalities, have voiced profound ethical and health concerns, characterizing any study involving medical transition for minors as...

As Planned Parenthood has expanded its so-called “gender-affirming care” over the past decade, detransitioners who obtained hormones from the corporation have publicly repudiated Planned Parenthood’s dangerous transgender practices. Planned Parenthood disproportionately targets young people aged 18-22 with its so-called “gender affirming care.” As can be observed by reading stories of detransitioners, most describe having been vulnerable and even struggling with mental illness when they sought “treatment” for gender dysphoria from Planned Parenthood. The cross-sex hormones left some of them with permanent issues. Though the number of people negatively affected by Planned Parenthood’s “gender affirming care” will never be known, some...

Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene got into screaming matches and a gavel-smashing marathon at Wednesday's hearing on protecting women's sports. The hearing on "Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports" featured a signature rant by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-SC, and Rep. Lateefah Simon, D-Cal, suggest that protecting women's sports will lead to bringing back racial segregation. Mace ensured the hearing ended with a boom when she got into a heated back-and-forth with witness Fatima Goss Graves, CEO of the National Women's Law Center. Mace hit Goss Graves with one of the oldest tricks...

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an "unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy." The court did not explain its decision other than to say the order would expire if the justices ultimately take up the case on the merits and issue a ruling striking it down. Litigation continues in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson indicated they would...

The court’s three liberal justices said they would have kept the policy on hold. Just after beginning his second term in January, Trump moved aggressively to roll back the rights of transgender people. Among the Republican president’s actions was an executive order that claims the sexual identity of transgender service members “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life” and is harmful to military readiness.

House and Senate Democrats on Tuesday reintroduced the Equality Act, a landmark civil rights bill that would make sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes. The measure, which would amend a federal law that already outlaws discrimination based on race, religion, sex and national origin, faces an uphill battle in a Congress controlled by Republicans, who have long opposed it over concerns it would trample religious freedom rights.

Airyn De Niro, the daughter of Robert De Niro, has revealed she is a transgender woman and opened up about her journey. Airyn was born in 1997 during De Niro’s relationship with her mother, Toukie Smith. She also has a twin, Julian De Niro. Despite her father’s status as an A-lister, Airyn has kept herself out of the limelight until recently, when recent tabloid articles accused her of nepotism, which she has denied in a new interview. Speaking to Them, Airyn said: “Not only did they get information wrong about me… They just sort of reminded me that people really...

A decade ago, if a woman ran a sub-three-hour Boston Marathon only six months after giving birth, she was pretty much guaranteed a fawning spread in a fitness magazine. But last week, only days after running the vaunted race in 2:50:04, new mom Natalie Daniels was booted from her running club in the DC metro area. The reason? She spoke up about fairness in women’s sports. Daniels doesn’t believe that trans runners should take up women’s spots in races — especially in Boston, which caps the number of marathon participants

Robert De Niro’s daughter is speaking her truth. At 29, Airyn De Niro is coming out as a trans woman and discussing the surprising motivation that led her to follow through with her gender journey, which included beginning hormone therapy last November. Speaking candidly with Them in her first-ever interview, the movie star’s daughter, whom he shares with ex Toukie Smith, shared that Halle Bailey’s “The Little Mermaid” in 2023 had a huge impact on her. In the article, De Niro said the turning point came when she made her first appointment at a black hair salon after seeing Bailey...

“Deranged” doesn’t even begin to cover the LGBTQ++ qweirdos anymore.According to a new item by Reduxx journalist Amy Hamm, a diaper-wearing pervert has just won a years-long court battle to force his health insurance provider to cover the cost of a very “unique” surgery: he’s keeping his penis, but he’s adding a fake “neo-vagina” between his male appendage and his…waste hole.I’m assuming that means he’s lopping off his testes? Blech, who knows.Allow me to emphasize something though: this is a man who wears diapers, sitting in his own excrement from time to time, and now he’s adding a new bacteria...

JK Rowling has launched a blistering attack on “coward” Sir Keir Starmer after his U-turn on trans rights. The Prime Minister backtracked on his previous claim that “trans women are women” after a landmark Supreme Court judgment. Sir Keir, who once suggested some women can have penises, declared that a woman is an “adult female”. In a post on X, the Harry Potter author said: “Imagine being such a coward you can only muster the courage to tell the truth once the Supreme Court has ruled on what the truth is.” It comes after the UK’s top court last week...

The UK Supreme Court's landmark ruling limiting the definition of a woman to biological sex stirred outrage among the stars of BBC’s "RuPaul’s Drag Race UK," who pledged to "fight back" against the decision they say will "marginalize" the transgender community. "The fight back starts today," season one runner-up Divina De Campo wrote in an X post last Wednesday, adding, "We will not go back into the shadows to make you comfortable. F--- all the way off." LGBTQ+ news outlet PinkNews reported on season two finalist Tayce's rage expressed through Instagram with posts calling the UK Supreme Court a "POS...

Colorado Democrat Gov. Jared Polis signed legislation formally repealing the state’s long-unenforced ban on recognizing same-sex “marriage,” a largely-symbolic gesture for LGBT “equality” ensuring the state status quo would remain if the national one changed in the future. Senate Bill 24-014 strikes from the Colorado legal code language stating marriages can only be recognized as valid if “between one man and one woman.” It passed the state House 45-14 and the state Senate 29-6 and was signed into law on April 7. The statutory repeal follows a ballot initiative that passed last November removing the traditional definition of marriage from...

Canadian media reported this week that immigration attorneys and LGBTQQIAAP2S+ activists have noticed a significant spike in the number of requests for information from Americans identifying as transgender seeking to move to Canada, claiming persecution under the administration of President Donald Trump. The Globe and Mail quoted multiple Canadian lawyers on Tuesday who said they were “overwhelmed” by the number of calls from alarmed transgender Americans seeking a way to claim political asylum in Canada. Some calls are also from parents whose children are being subjected to medical procedures in response to alleged gender dysmorphia, which the Trump administration has...

The transgender movement and their allies are angry that their agenda across the country is losing ground. Their full-court strategy – reiterated on this past Monday’s “Transgender Day of Visibility” – is to claim as loudly as possible that they are being attacked. Americans have had enough of the transgender agenda, particularly targeting children. We’re all familiar with the trans outrages, including: - Radical gender ideology in nearly every grade - Transgender-themed library books and other material - Secret transgender “counseling” of confused children - Organized school events (GLSEN, GSA, etc.) in schools pushing “gender” propaganda - Children encouraged to...
