One way to shut down debate on a contentious subject is to declare that there is no debate on the subject. Everyone, absolutely everyone, agrees with one side, so why are you even trying to argue? It's settled. The Biden administration is doing that now on what officials call "gender-affirming care" for young people who believe they are transgender. "There is no argument among medical professionals -- pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, adolescent medicine physicians, adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, etc. -- about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care," Dr. Rachel Levine, who, as U.S. assistant secretary for health, is the highest-ranking...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Thursday signed a bill into law that bans transgender athletes from competing on girls' and women's sports teams, NBC News reported. "This bill has been an important priority for a lot of the people behind me," Noem said at a press conference, "and I appreciate all of their hard work in making sure that girls will always have the opportunity to play in girls sports in South Dakota and have an opportunity for a level playing field, for fairness, that gives them the chance to experience success." The new law will apply to...

Leftists who've been losing their minds over the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade are getting soundly mocked on social media for suddenly standing up for women after openly minimizing and marginalizing them through transgender advocacy. What are the details? The rise of transgenderism — and the lockstep support it has received from leftists — runs into some problems when placed side by side with abortion rights. First we've seen a number of stories about transgender men — biological women who identify as men — getting pregnant. And since leftists by and large love that...

We’re not sure who decided that Rachel Levine was some kind of national medical authority … oh, wait. That’s right. It was President Joe Biden. Well, you shouldn’t trust Joe Biden’s judgment when it comes to pretty much anything, and it’s plenty clear that Rachel Levine is no exception: Rachel Levine says pediatricians all agree on importance of 'gender-affirming care' for children https://t.co/CM7dwKU3We — Fox News (@FoxNews) May 1, 2022 More from Fox News: Levine made the comments ahead of a Saturday speech at Texas Christian University during which Levine blamed the high rate of suicidal ideation among transgender-identifying youth...

The Justice Department filed a complaint Friday challenging Alabama's Senate Bill (S.B.) 184, which bans transgender treatments for children. The DOJ asserts that criminalizing the sexual transition of children is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment on the grounds of equal protection. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed legislation this month to outlaw puberty blocking medications for minors. The bill makes it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to prescribe puberty blockers or hormones to transgender children to help in their gender transition.

Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the Senate, said in an interview with NPR that “there is no argument” among pediatricians and adolescent-specialist doctors regarding “the value and the importance of gender-affirming care.” “Gender-affirming care” includes sex reassignment surgeries, puberty blockers, hormone therapy and social affirmation, according to an FAQ from Levine’s own agency, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Levine’s comments dismissing concerns over “gender-affirming care” came during an interview with NPR ahead of her appearance at a health conference in Texas, a state that has taken...

If you have accepted God’s calling on your life to serve His people as a shepherd and a leader, then you have my respect. I honor you for your service, and I recognize your sacrifice. Pastoral ministry is anything but easy, and only those who have served as pastoral leaders know the immense pressures you face. You are the one to get the phone call from the shocked parents who just learned that their child was killed in a car accident. You have to bring comforting words at the funeral. You have to answer the questions of, “Where was God?”...

TORONTO (AP) — Changing a question on last year’s census has resulted in a snapshot of Canada’s transgender population, with data released Wednesday showing 0.33 per cent of the country’s 38.3 million people identify as a gender that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. For the first time, Statistics Canada differentiated between ``sex at birth″ and ``gender″ in the census. While the agency and advocates agree the new numbers likely underestimate the true size of the population, they say the data will offer crucial insight into a marginalized community. The data collected during last year’s national household...

Fox News peeled back the curtain of President Joe Biden's administration and revealed how a shadowy organization heavily funded by liberal billionaire George Soros is working behind the scenes to advance a progressive agenda.

Johnny the Walrus is a best-selling children’s book written by the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh. The book is a terrific satire about adults who insist that children can be “transgender” and go so far as to put them on hormones and even have surgeries done on them, instead of letting them go through puberty normally and seeking psychotherapy to treat their distress. Many of the parents who do this to their children appear to be suffering from some kind of attention disorder that drives them to seek the limelight while they mutilate their own children, like the parents of Jazz...

Measure would open up domestic shelters and girls locker rooms to disturbed bio malesFrom Sophia Lorey/CFCSan Diego -- Instead of protecting the rights of women and girls, the San Diego Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will vote on a radical ordinance that will take opportunities away from women and girls, while also putting them at risk. This ordinance will redefine "women and girls" to include men and boys. The measure would create in the County of San Diego a local implementation of the United Nations Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Here you can...

A Kansas state lawmaker has come under fire for writing in an email to a constituent that she does not 'appreciate' sharing the Capitol bathroom with a transgender colleague. In the April 23 email replying to a University of Kansas graduate student who expressed their opposition to her bill banning gender reassignment surgery for minors, Rep. Cheryl Helmer wrote: 'Personally, I do not appreciate the huge transgender female who is now in our restrooms in the Capitol.' She later confirmed to the Topeka Capital-Journal that she was referencing fellow Rep. Stephanie Byers, a Democrat from Wichita, who is the first...

50 years ago… 20 years ago… heck, even 2 years ago under Trump… Would you ever have imagined, in your wildest nightmares, that radical leftist activists calling themselves teachers would be setting up secret areas at school for children to undress and change into trans outfits? And in middle school, no less?Well, unfortunately, that’s exactly the hell that America has found itself in. It’s 2022, Joe Biden is President, parents are labeled terrorists while the actual terrorists are handed billions in high-tech weapons, and schools are allowing teachers to create and maintain “secret gender transition closets” that are used to...

A transgender underwear designer has been accused of child abuse for selling pants that seek to ‘flatten’ the genitals of boys as young as four. Doctors warned that the underwear, which is made to ‘flatten the side profile of the pelvic area’, could cause infertility. A leading peer claimed the sale of the product amounted to a criminal offence. The garments are sold by Carmen Liu, an eponymous company established by a transgender former ballet dancer that describes itself as ‘the UK’s first brand to design flattening and tucking underwear’. The cotton briefs, which cost £35.70 for a pack of...
