During the lead-up to a union election at Wizards of the Coast for Magic: The Gathering Arena, the company allegedly deadnamed a number of transgender employees in front of their colleagues. When confronted about this action, the company apologized, only to do the same thing again the following week during the election itself. Kotaku has spoken to multiple union-eligible employees who explained the situation. According to them, WOTC and the group of employees filing for a union election agreed on an election to take place this week that would be in-person for in-office employees, and mail-in for remote employees.

Celebrity children identify as trans and non-binary at unbelievable rates. Charlize Theron, Cynthia Nixon, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony — whose 18-year-old recently debuted a new name, changing from Emme to Oskar — are just a few of the stars with children who aren’t living as their birth sex. There’s nothing wrong with being trans. But such an unlikely concentration in a particular community should give one pause — especially when so many of these kids began playing with gender at shockingly young ages. In a geography where having a trans child has a tinge of chicness...

After Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) defeated Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate last month, it wasn’t surprising that Republicans launched a barrage of attacks against Democratic nominee James Talarico. What was surprising, though, and troubling, is that they attacked not Talarico’s record or past rhetoric, but his masculinity. Paxton got things rolling on election night, calling him “Tofu Talarico,” “James Tala-freako,” and “low-T Talarico.” Trump aide Stephen Miller piled on, suggesting that Talarico was transgender. Others insinuated that he was secretly gay and that his girlfriend was fictional. (This is a bold strategy, because...

Now that the ballot for the Texas Senate race has been finalized, and Republican Ken Paxton will be facing off against Democrat James Talarico, we're learning even more about Talarico's troubling, radical past statements. Not only does Talarico think God is non-binary, that the Bible condones abortion, and that veganism is the way to save the planet, it turns out Talarico was praised for quoting a Communist-adjacent saying in an invocation before a 2021 legislative session.Redditor on r/GayChristians recounts his favorite prayer from James Talarico. pic.twitter.com/h2077NVYxG— Reddit Lies (@reddit_lies) May 28, 2026The post popped up under the subreddit r/GayChristians and...

Progressive activists have discovered the perfect business model: Declare a crisis, accuse opponents of violence or genocide, demand emergency powers and funnel money into activist-run nonprofits with virtually no oversight. The latest example of this comes from the Seattle LGBTQ Commission and a coalition of local left-wing groups, which are demanding that socialist Mayor Katie Wilson declare a civil emergency over what they call a “trans relocation crisis.” They’re claiming, with no evidence, that tens of thousands of transgender-identifying individuals are fleeing Republican-led states and arriving in Seattle as refugees. Their proposed solution: a taxpayer-funded bloodletting. On Saturday, radicals flooded...

Trans athlete AB Hernandez turned in first place finishes in long jump, triple jump and high jump MOORPARK, Calif. – "It’s an outlier." That’s the common argument from left-wing transgender activists. They say that biological males taking the spotlight from girls in girls' sports isn’t the big deal that it’s made out to be by "the right" ... because it "hardly ever happens." Tell that to the high school girls from California, like senior Reese Hogan of Crean Lutheran, who are watching it happen, yet again. Transgender track athlete AB Hernandez was standing atop multiple podiums on Saturday and is...

Planet Fitness canceled a woman’s membership — apparently forging her signature to do so — and called the police after the woman expressed discomfort that a large male was using female shower facilities. That “transgender”-identifying male is reportedly Christopher Beaulieu, who is a serial criminal and registered sex offender.The established facts, based on Judy Walcott's testimony, are that Planet Fitness staff not only canceled her membership but later called police on her, claiming trespass after she requested a refund for her unused month of membership.

Just days before the case was set to go to trial, a settlement was reached between detransitioner Camille Kiefel and a pair of Oregon mental health providers who she claimed had ignored serious mental health problems and instead referred her for a double mastectomy. A confidential settlement was entered into by the parties days before the malpractice lawsuit, in which Kiefel sought $3.5 million, was set to begin a jury trial in the Circuit Court in Multnomah County, in January, per reporter Benjamin Ryan, who was the first to report the existence of a settlement. Kiefel’s attorneys, Josh Payne, of...

The San Diego mosque shooters were “radicalized online,” cops say — as it’s revealed they wore Nazi symbols and etched racist statements on their gear as they opened fire outside an Islamic Center, killing three people in the process.
