In one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s first moves as secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the agency released guidance Wednesday for the US government, external partners and the public that offers a narrower definition of sex than the ones used by many scientists and that aligns with a January executive order signed by President Donald Trump. The department also launched a website promoting these definitions and created a video defending a ban on transgender women participating in women’s sports. ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued guidance updating its official definitions of terms such as sex, female, and male on Wednesday following President Donald Trump's executive orders limiting transgender rights. The guidance reiterates the Trump administration's stance that male and female are the only two sexes, and that they cannot be changed. It is one of the first actions taken by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. following his confirmation last week as Secretary of Health and Human Services. "This administration is bringing back common sense and restoring biological truth to the federal government," Kennedy said....

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina has established herself as a flawed-yet-principled advocate for women. Meanwhile, former Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, who served as Social Security Commissioner for less than a year under President Joe Biden and whom extreme political junkies might remember as an obscure Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, has exposed himself as the latest in a long line of cowardly and spiritually corrupt woke leftists who cannot, or will not, explain the difference between a man and a woman. On Wednesday, at a hearing of the House Oversight Committee focused on the stay-at-home federal...

Michelle Obama’s latest comments have taken her brand of divisive “empowerment” to a new low as she addresses women, urging them to see themselves as “more than baby-making vessels.” But worse, she suggested they vote in favor of abortion rights, even if it means concealing those votes hidden from their husbands. “We have to use our voices to make these choices clear to the men that we love,” she(?) screeched. “Our lives are worth more than their anger and disappointment. And we are more than just baby-making vessels.” “And if you are a woman who lives in a household of...

Back during the confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the prospective Supreme Court Justice was asked to define the word 'woman'. She couldn't, claiming she's not a biologist. The media, of course, ran with that -- including this story from USA Today that said there's no 'simple answer' to what being a woman means. There is a very simple definition: adult female human. But we digress. We also congratulate Justice Brown Jackson on becoming a biologist, because she can now magically define 'woman': As the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson says...

The pro-LGBT brain rot has seemingly made its way all the way to the world Olympics. No matter what any blue-haired gender studies major tells you (they likely told Bach anyway), chromosomes are the most accurate way to tell a person’s sex. Some in the LGBT community have suggested otherwise by citing the existence of intersex individuals but, as one 2002 report shows, the prevalence of intersex individuals has been greatly exaggerated.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach faced more questions about the gender eligibility controversy involving two boxers competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics in what was his final press conference before the Games conclude this weekend. Bach, who was first elected in 2013, did not sway from the IOC's stance on the eligibility concerns surrounding boxers Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan when speaking to the media Friday.

Police arrested a man this week for allegedly entering a North Carolina Planet Fitness women’s locker room and undressing. “Christopher Allan Miller, 38, was arrested after going into the women’s locker room Thursday at the Gastonia Planet Fitness on South New Hope Road,” WSOCTV reported. “Planet Fitness allows members to use the restroom and locker rooms they identify with as part of their no-judgmental motto. However, some members said they are worried and believe Miller misused the policy after hearing the allegations and the call for help,” it added. One woman called 911 upon reportedly seeing Miller enter the locker...

I have to admit, I was shocked when I first saw this clip. There’s been a lot of talk about Trump’s recent interview on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show,” but his answer to what may have been one of the most important questions was so horrifying awful, I can’t even wrap my head around it. During the interview, Megyn Kelly asked Trump a very simple question: “Can a man become a woman?” Easy, right? The answer is “No, absolutely not.” It’s not complex or complicated. There’s no room for nuance, different points of view, or interpretation. A man cannot become...

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”,...

The United States has crashed out of the Women's World Cup after losing a dramatic penalty shootout against Sweden. The Americans created most of the chances during the match – but were foiled at key moments by Swedish goalkeeper Zećira Mušović, who made crucial stops against Lindsey Horan and Alex Morgan. The Swedes will play Japan in the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals on Friday.

It’s always a wonderful thing when leftists shoot themselves in the foot and, in this case, the results are extraordinary. Last June, the Daily Wire debuted Matt Walsh’s What Is A Woman? Throughout the movie, Walsh politely asks both conservatives and leftists, especially leftists with medical degrees, “What is a woman?” The answers from the left are astonishing and revealing. Leftists boycotted the movie but, now, thanks to a really stupid move by leftists formerly employed at Twitter (who tried to block a 24-hour free window for the movie), the Streisand effect has sent the movie’s viewership into the stratosphere....

The ongoing controversy over Twitter’s censorship of The Daily Wire for alleged “misgendering” escalated on Thursday evening with the social media giant’s Head of Trust and Safety, Ella Irwin, resigning in the wake. That’s most likely because she and her department are the ones who made the decision to label tweets by Matt Walsh as violating Twitter’s “hateful conduct” policies. The result was a warning label being placed on the posts along with sharing disabled. Those moves came after Jeremy Boreing, CEO of The Daily Wire, revealed Thursday morning that Twitter backed out of a deal to show What Is...

Leading trans health group (whatever that means), WPATH, has a bone to pick with Matt Walsh. Seems they consider him enemy number one … As if that could possibly be a bad thing.

The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh got into a debate with a transgendered woman who was a self proclaimed EMT who immediately gets stumped by one simple biological scenario.

Chris Beck described those who embrace and promote transgender ideology as a 'cult' that brings people into the fold through 'love bombing' and propagandizing. (LifeSiteNews) – A former member of SEAL Team Six who famously “transitioned” in an effort to become a woman a decade ago and who has since “detransitioned” is speaking out about the dangers of transgender ideology, manipulation by its proponents, and the grave harm it is doing to children and young people. Chris Beck, who for a time was known as “Kristen,” recounted in a wide-ranging two-hour interview with conservative commentator Robby Starbuck how he was...

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...
