Men have taken nearly 900 awards, scholarships, or other honors from female athletes, according to SheWon.org, contrary to the claims of far-left Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler. (LifeSiteNews) — Gender-confused men have won nearly 300 titles in female sports, according to the website SheWon.org. But a leading Democratic congressman denies not just biological reality, but this reality as well. “Men do not compete in women’s sports,” far-left New York Democratic congressman Jerry Nadler claimed during a congressional hearing several weeks ago. “Transgender women [sic] may compete in women’s sports,” he said. However, it is a biological fact and moral truth that...

Two dozen young women have quit an Australian soccer league after officials allowed one team to add five transgender athletes, some of whom went on to injure girls on other teams. Parents rose up in anger last month after the Flying Bats Football Club added the five male-born players to their girl’s soccer team and then went on a tear winning every single game for the pre-season Beryl Ackroyd Cup tournament in the Sydney, Australia-based league. “Flying Bats FC won every game they played over the course of the four-week competition, winning the grand final 4-0 at Macquarie Park on...

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Friday demanded that a Nassau County official immediately repeal an executive order restricting the ability of transgender women and girls to participate in athletic events at county-run facilities, arguing it is “in clear violation” of state law. “ The law is perfectly clear: you cannot discriminate against a person because of their gender identity or expression. We have no room for hate or bigotry in New York,” James said in a statement, referring to an executive order issued last week by Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman. Blakeman’s order, which prohibits athletic events...

During a speech to the U.S. Air Force, transgender Space Force Col. Bree Fram demanded everyone use pronouns in their emails as a way to enhance “winning war fighting strategies”. Yes, really. “All too often, I hear leaders talk about providing everyone with dignity and respect like it’s an aspirational goal, that ‘s not good enough,” said Fram. “Dignity and respect is the bare minimum, it’s the floor of where we can be, we must set our sights higher and focus on intentional inclusivity, because there are still far too many people out there, not just LGBTQ individuals, that feel...

Is it possible to speak obvious truths without being chastised? It depends entirely on whether that truth supports The Narrative™ or challenges it. The most powerful tool to enforce compliance with the dominant Elite ideology is the requirement that the language we use be chosen and defined by that Elite. Legally and common sensically everybody knows that men do not belong in women's sports and women's spaces. So for those who want to make that happen the answer is to redefine the word "women" to include everyone who wants to be one. Hollow out words and pour in whatever meaning...

A Massachusetts charter school ended a girls’ varsity basketball game at halftime on February 8 after multiple players were injured by a trans-identified male on the opposing team. The coach of the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell Girls’ Basketball Team made the decision to end the game against KIPP Academy "after watching a third player injured in the game," a press release from the school states. "The bench was already depleted going into the game with the 12-player roster having four players unable to play. When the coach saw three more girls go down in the first half leaving him...

A Massachusetts high school girls' basketball team was forced to forfeit its game after a transgender player on the opposing team injured three players. The Collegiate Charter School of Lowell Girls' Basketball team dropped out of their February 8 game against KIPP Massachusetts after one of KIPP's players, who is a biological male, injured three of their athletes. Collegiate Charter School officials said the team decided to forfeit because the other players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs that were a few days later.

Raise up your can of Bud Light and join me, please, in a toast to Monroe Lace, the newly crowned Miss San Francisco. According to a Tuesday CBS report, it was the fulfillment of a lifelong aspiration: “It felt like a dream,” said the happy Monroe, “because it’s been a dream that I’ve had since I was a child.” Monroe is by no means singular in that, of course; at least before appreciating beauty went out of fashion, there were no doubt innumerable young girls who dreamed of being beauty queens. Monroe Lace, however, is different, and knows it: “Even...

Podcasting proggie, Emma Vigeland, took on the ‘TERFs’ of Twitter by stating what she considers to be a simple truth: ‘trans girls and trans women are girls and women, so they get to participate in girls’ and women’s sports’. Uh, no. It’s amazing how brazen these folks are. There’s a sizeable segment of the population who now see it as truth that a person can feel they are a thing they’re not, and that earns that person a membership right in whatever groups they imagine themselves to be in. What if we all woke up tomorrow feeling like NFL football...

A San Francisco Chronicle health reporter says there’s a shortage of evidence for what for others is something that’s incredibly obvious: Experts say a paucity of research on transgender athletes makes it difficult to determine if trans women actually are faster or stronger. The science is even murkier for young athletes.https://t.co/IL7A5qPWZB — San Francisco Chronicle (@sfchronicle) May 27, 2023 This is something else: Two female runners competing in a state high school championship this weekend have come under attack because people believe they are transgender and therefore may have an unfair advantage. But the science is far from clear as...

A few weeks ago, we talked about Jazz Jennings being exploited by TLC. Well, he made a response video to Ben Shapiro and me asking why we care so much. Here's my response.

A transgender athlete took home a second-place medal in a crucial high school track and field competition in California over the weekend, sparking fierce backlash — as the fourth-place medalist appeared to give a thumbs-down at the podium. Athena Ryan, a junior from Sonoma Academy, claimed the silver medal in the varsity girls’ 1,600-meter run during the North Coast Meet of Champions of California finals on Saturday. Ryan, a transgender female, now qualifies for the California Interscholastic Federation State Track & Field Championships next week after finishing in the top three. The high school track star who claimed fourth place...

Last week, Twitter notified two Australian users that they had violated Australian law with tweets criticizing a biological male who identifies as transgender who was shown “breastfeeding” a baby. As a result, the offending posts would be restricted for Australian users in order to adhere to that country’s law. “In the interest of transparency, we are writing to inform you that Twitter has received official correspondence regarding your Twitter account,” the social media platform informed Jasmine Sussex and Standing For Women Queensland (SFWQ). We have not taken any action on the reported content as a result of this request. Please...

Sports Illustrated came under fire on Monday for using Kim Petras, a transgender female pop star, as one of its cover models for the Swimsuit Edition. It was Petras’ first time on the cover of the Swimsuit Edition. Petras joined Martha Stewart, Megan Fox and Brooks Nader as the other cover models for this year’s magazine. "There is no theme [to this year’s issue]—rather, there is a vision, a sentiment, a hope that women can live in a world where they feel no limitations, internally or externally," SI Swimsuit Editor-in-Chief MJ Day said. "But the absence of a theme is...

Medical journals are ranked by prestige, like universities and restaurants, based on criteria that might be more in the eye of the beholder than based on objective criteria. In the medical world, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine are ranked number one and two, respectively, despite both having had to retract shoddy published COVID papers over “data integrity questions.”JAMA, or the Journal of the American Medical Association, is number five on the “best medicine journals” list. It would be reasonable to expect such journals to be publishing cutting-edge medical research papers rather than nonsense better suited for...

Seven members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the University of Wyoming have called on a judge to declare the membership of 21-year-old Artemis Langford void and to award unspecified damages, according to the lawsuit obtained by Cowboy StateDaily. One of the members has asked the sorority management to ensure that the house is preserved as a “female only” safe space, and a number of members raised concerns about shared bathroom facilities which have no locks. The lawsuit states: “An adult human male does not become a woman just because he tells others that he has a female ‘gender...

Scarlett Johnson @scarlett4kids The 2023 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition cover model is a biological man with fake boobs. I really hope men are #Done with Sports Illustrated.

An ad from Calvin Klein on Mother's Day featuring a pregnant transgender man and his trans partner has sparked a wave of backlash on social media. “Today, in support of women and mothers all over the world, we’re spotlighting the realities of new families," the company wrote in the caption of a Sunday Instagram post highlighting the campaign, which features three nontraditional families — including Brazilian reality stars Erika Fernandes and Roberto Bete. “Erika Fernandes and Roberto Bete are expecting parents from Brazil. Roberto is due to give birth to his and Erika's son Noah any day now,” the caption...

A transgender woman has been sacked by Starbucks after footage showed her berating a female customer and allegedly assaulting a man who filmed the incident. The clash broke out at a Starbucks branch near the ferry terminal of Southampton, Hampshire, on Sunday, April 30. The 56-second clip shows the employee on the same side of the counter as the customer, arguing with her. The person recording the incident said the woman had apparently said something 'transphobic' to upset the employee, who angrily refuses to serve her. Footage shows the female customer saying: 'You're rude, don't ever call me transphobic, ever....

In recent years, debates about the fairness of allowing men to compete against women in sports and the morality of chemically and surgically castrating youth suffering from gender dysphoria have emerged as contentious topics in the United States. While trans activists maintain that allowing men to compete in women's sports and body mutilating surgeries are necessary "gender-affirming healthcare," more Americans are pushing back against the idea that the solution to this social contagion among the nation's youth is sterilization by way of puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones and body disfiguring surgeries. Specifically, critics of policies allowing men to compete on women’s...
