VIDEONewsflash! In case you haven't already figured it out, Gavin Newsom was only PRETENDING to shift his opinion about biological men playing in women's sports during his new podcast interview with Charlie Kirk. Unfortunately for poor Gavin, his attempt to appear reasonable ended up as a case of being too clever by half since this has ENRAGED his looney base as you can see in the reactions to his PRETEND "shift" on this topic. Finally, for those few who still haven't figured out where Newsom is coming from, we have an analysis by someone very familiar with California politics who...

Awomen's volleyball team with a transgender player has advanced to the final of a championship tournament without playing a single match after their opponents refused to compete against them. The San Jose State University Spartans progressed to the Mountain West Conference tournament final when Boise State University dropped out of Friday's semi-final in protest over the inclusion of transgender player Blaire Fleming.......

Washington (AFP) – US lawmakers advanced a bill Thursday aimed at banning transgender women and girls from sports teams that match their gender identity, as Congress turned its focus on one of the most polarizing issues in American culture. The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act" seeks to narrow 50-year-old civil rights protections against sex-based discrimination to recognize sex as "based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth."
