    A prominent trans activist based in Philadelphia is currently standing trial on charges of sexually assaulting two young boys. Attorneys for Kendall Stephens, born Johnathan, are seeking access to personal documents related to the young victims in a bid to exonerate their client. Stephens, 39, identifies as transgender and was formerly a prominent LGBTQ+ advocate in Philadelphia. He was arrested on December 18, 2023, after charges involving multiple counts of child sexual abuse were filed against him by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General. Stephens allegedly engaged in oral sex with a boy, identified in court records as Z.B.,...

    “I am here to break the law,” Marcy Rheintgen said after being given a trespass warning. A transgender woman was arrested last month for refusing to leave the women's restroom at the Florida State Capitol. Marcy Rheintgen, a 20-year-old college student, said she acted intentionally to challenge Florida's antitrans bathroom law. Passed in 2023, the Safety in Private Spaces Act criminalizes an individual for refusing to leave a restroom or changing area assigned to the opposite sex when asked to by a government employee. Currently, 13 states have passed policies relating to transgender bathroom use, but only two states, Florida...

    Female track team members express discomfort with locker room policies at emotional school board meeting.. As California's transgender athlete conflict escalates, one high school athlete has resorted to changing clothes in her car to avoid uncomfortable situations. During a Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) school board meeting this week, junior Audrey Vanherweg revealed her decision. "I strongly disagree with what is going on in the girls' locker room and on the girls track team, so much so that I change in my car for track practice because I feel way more comfortable in my car than I do in...

    The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Maine state legislature to revoke its censure of GOP state representative Laurel Libby on Tuesday. Libby has been censured since Feb. 15 for a social media post that identified a transgender Maine high school athlete who won a girls' pole vault competition. In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled that Libby's entitlement to relief from the censure is "indisputably clear." The GOP lawmaker celebrated the Supreme Court decision in an X post. "This is a victory not just for my constituents, but for the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court has affirmed what should NEVER...

    OPINION: What are the chances? That thing that “never happens” happened yet again last week: A biological male competing against females won first place in two track events. It happened in (surprise!) Maine, which so far has held firm against President Trump’s executive order banning biological men from competing against women in interscholastic athletics. In what appears to have been a tri-meet, North Yarmouth Academy junior Soren Stark-Chessa won the girls 800 meter and 1600 meter (mile) runs, the latter by almost 20 seconds. As noted by Outkick, the 800 event was a closer race with Yarmouth High’s Lilah Connor...

    The action at a rally on Saturday called on the Scottish Government to immediately appeal the ruling to the European Court of Human Rights. Each protester appeared topless with a red-painted right arm, symbolising solidarity with anti-fascist feminist movements across Europe, including actions by groups such as Femen France. Protesters also carried white roses, mourning what they describe as the death of transgender rights in the UK, and wore tape over their mouths to represent the censorship and silencing of trans voices in the legal process. One protester, Sugar, commented: “This ruling is not just a setback of humanitarian rights;...
