In the past few years The Daily Wire has begun attempting to move into the movie production business, having apparently seen an audience for conservative leaning films that's been largely abandoned by the main Hollywood studios. Last year they acquired the rights to a small independent super hero movie called 'The Hyperions' and have since begun working to make their own movies such as their upcoming adaptation of the Snow White faerie tale, 'Snow White and the Evil Queen'. Well, today Jeremy Boreing of The Daily Wire dropped the trailer for a new movie they've produced and boy oh boy...

According to court filings made on November 7, Willie made...

Gender dysphoria (G.D.) claims that someone whose sex was determined at birth to be male is entitled later to "identify as" female and take appropriate measures. Analogously, someone whose sex was determined at birth to be female is entitled later to "identify as" male and take appropriate measures. What about this? Entering stage right is conservative philosopher WVO Quine (1908–2000), who taught at Harvard University for decades and published widely during a long and distinguished career. While many of Quine's contributions are technical, there is a fairly simple one that applies to the problem at hand. Suppose, Quine noted, that...

Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur who is seeking the Republican nomination, shared the ideals on X, starting with, "God is real" and "There are only two genders" — the latter being a contentious claim by those on the Left.

While many...

The American Medical Association (AMA) has suggested that taxpayers should subsidize uterus transplants worth up to $300,000 to help transgender women get pregnant. Arguments were made to reduce the cost of the surgery in its Journal of Ethics issue in June titled Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care. But the AMA has been criticized for floating the idea and has been accused of holding an 'activist position'. It argued that trans women's inability to bear children may cause them to experience 'psychological dissonance' which undermines their health and well-being. The AMA says trans women who want to give birth can 'plausibly justify'...

Kari Lake milked a cow at the Iowa State Fair on Friday and argued the animals prove there are only two genders - because a bull can't be milked. Lake, the Republican who failed in her quest to be elected governor of Arizona last year, was at the annual event to campaign for Donald Trump. She made a stop at the dairy barn to push back against what conservatives call 'woke' ideas, particularly when it comes to a person's gender. Lake, dressed in jeans and boots, pulled up a stool to the cow's side, sat down, and got to work....

When I was very young, I was manipulated into sex reassignment (also known as sex/gender correction or sex/gender transition) by a transsexual man in his mid-40s. For several years he gave me puberty blockers - dangerous substances that block the effects of testosterone - and hormones of the opposite sex, i.e. estrogens. Just before I turned 18, a psychologist, psychiatrist, and sexologist, after one visit, without any tests, fabricated a diagnosis of transsexualism and referred me, officially, for a sex change, which should never have happened. Currently, I have had a reversal procedure, returning to the true sex I was...

It used to be females were XX. It used to be society had a definition for a woman. It used to be women could do her business in a restroom without a hairy man in the next stall asking to borrow a tampon. It used to be women could strive for blue ribbons but now have to quietly bow down to men and settle for participation ribbons. It used to be women could get dressed in a locker room without a fully intact XY picking up our panties that fell on the floor. It used to be little girls and...

Over a third of the population of the UK are not aware that so-called “transgender women” are in fact biological males, as campaigners accuse the LGBT movement and the legacy media of adopting “intentionally” confusing lingo to muddy the debate around transgenderism. A survey conducted by the policy analysis firm Murray Blackburn Mackenzie (MBM) found that 35 per cent of Britons incorrectly believe a “transgender woman” was someone who was born as a biological woman or were unclear about what the term meant. The poll went on to find that there was even more confusion over the term “trans woman”,...

Iszak Henig, a transgender male, joined Yale's men's swimming team after finishing last year as an All-American female swimmer.

Dozens of athletic competitions for women and girls have been upended by the participation of males identifying as transgender women, who benefit from a host of biological advantages over female competitors, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found. Transgender-identified males have competed in a variety of women’s athletic competitions, from school sports for young children to top college events and Olympic competitions. Differences in an average woman’s strength, stamina and physique compared to the average male are sustained even when a male undergoes testosterone suppression, according to the Sports Councils’ Equality Group. “There is no equity, fairness, sportsmanship or opportunity...

"Rose Montoya, who exposed her fake breasts on the White House lawn after meeting President Biden on Saturday June 11, is facing severe backlash from the LGBTQ+ community.

Montoya shared a video on social media displaying her bare breasts at the White House, resulting in her being banned from the premises. Although she has since deleted the video and issued an apology, the repercussions of her actions remain. Many transgender individuals...
