Under Senate Bill 132, signed by Governor Newsom in September 2020 and authored by Senator Wiener, any male inmate who declares a female gender identity must be housed, addressed, and treated as a woman, regardless of criminal history, surgical status, or biological sex

The Idaho Senate on Friday afternoon passed a GOP-backed bill that would criminalize transgender people for using bathrooms aligned with their gender identity, sending the measure to Gov. Brad Little for his signature. It is one of the harshest anti-trans measures in the U.S.

Pennsylvania House Democrats withdrew consideration of a resolution honoring March as "National Women’s Month" after a Republican lawmaker filed an amendment to include the physiological definition of "woman" in the text. What was expected to be a quick, symbolic vote instead turned into a brief but telling floor moment, with Republicans forcing the question into the open and Democrats opting to shelve the resolution rather than define "woman" in legislation — leading to an eruption of laughter on the House floor...... "Will the House agree to the resolution?" McClinton asked the 102-100 Democrat-majority chamber. The clerk indicated that state Rep....

Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has sued the LPGA and USGA for its policies that prohibit biological males who underwent male puberty from competing in women's competition. The LPGA said in a statement it was aware of the lawsuit and would "let that process play out on the proper forum." "The LPGA’s gender policy was developed through a thoughtful, expert-informed process and is grounded in protecting the competitive integrity of elite women’s golf," the statement said. The USGA and LPGA changed gender policies for events in 2025 and beyond, declaring that players must be assigned female at birth or have transitioned...

Four San Diego-area families allege that Rady Children’s Health violated the civil rights of their transgender children by deciding to discontinue gender-affirming care, according to a class action lawsuit filed Thursday. The complaint, filed in San Diego County Superior Court, accuses the regional health system of discriminating against transgender children in violation of multiple state laws. It claims the roughly 1,900 patients of Rady’s gender clinic suffered harm from canceled appointments, inability to access medications such as hormone therapy and emotional distress caused by the hospital’s decision.

A Los Angeles high school’s “secrecy policy” kept a California couple in the dark about their only child’s gender identity, helped “sever” the family’s relationship — and ultimately drove the teen to suicide, his parents alleged. Dylan Parke was already struggling to fit in as a sophomore at Palisades Charter High School in Los Angeles in 2019-2020 when he told school staffers he would use she/her pronouns and go by the name “Aria,” as he transitioned into a woman. Parke had been diagnosed with depression, was in mental health treatment and “appeared easily influenced and preoccupied with how others perceived...

An Illinois school district honored a biological male in celebration of Women’s History Month on Thursday. Batavia Public School District 101 honored Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware, who claims to be a transgender woman, in a since-deleted Thursday Facebook post, a week after they honored astronaut Mae Jemison. McBride was involved in controversy over which restroom would be used after being first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2024. “Sarah McBride was born on August 9th, 1990, in Wilmington, Delaware. At a young age, she became interested in politics and government. McBride eventually ran for the...

Approximately 1,700 Kansans who claim to be another sex than they actually are have had their driver’s licenses revoked after a state law banning ID changes based on “gender identity” went into effect last month. “Kansas is one of five states to prohibit trans people from changing the gender marker on their licenses, but it is the first to pass a law that retroactively cancels licenses that were already changed,” NBC News reported. “The law also invalidated birth certificates for those who updated their gender markers.” Hundreds of people who claim to be transgender have already received letters from the...

Major victories feel great, but they aren’t the same thing as winning a war. On Monday night, the Supreme Court reinstated an injunction that prevented “schools from ‘misleading’ parents about their children’s gender presentation at school and their social transitioning efforts.” A dozen years ago, that sentence wouldn’t have made any sense. But here’s what some parents today have faced when their children go to school. Whether from in-school indoctrination or social contagion, some students begin to believe their sex isn’t accurate. A boy claims to be a girl. A girl claims to be one of the dozens of genders...

State Rep. James Talarico, the newly minted Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, claimed in 2021 that there were “six really common biological sexes” — not two. Talarico made the declaration during a debate in the Texas State Legislature over a measure sponsored by GOP state Rep. Cole Hefner to ban biological men who identify as transgender from participating in female sports in K-12 schools. “The bill seems to think there are two,” said Talarico, who has a master’s of education from Harvard University. “The one thing I want us to all be aware of, recognize, is that modern science...

Absolutely shocking and ultra-woke comments from the liberal media darling James Talarico, a Texas State Representative, have surfaced as he tries to become the first Democrat in more than 30 years to win in Texas. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Talarico upset Jasmine Crockett in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary race for US Senate. Talarico had 52% of the votes, scoring a rather large single-digit win over Crockett. Crockett predicted her loss late last night and blamed “cheating,” though she later conceded defeat and endorsed Talarico. Following his primary victory, X accounts dug up some fairly old videos of Talarico...

Each year on March 31, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the disproportionate levels of poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces compared to cisgender (non-transgender) people.

The American Library Association, a nonprofit whose stated primary mission over the last century has been advocating for libraries and librarians, is fighting a new bill in Congress that aims to cut off federal funding to schools that promote or provide sexual programming or literature to children.

Consistently, and even as recently as the State of the Union address, President Donald Trump has not minced words when speaking about issues that are obviously dangerous and destructive to America. How, then, is it possible that, with so many outlandish, persistent issues, ordinary folks seem to be missing the blatantly obvious? For example, why do everyday Americans listen to the twisted “logic” of the Woke mindset and not say, “What?! That doesn’t make sense?!” Think about the waywardness of woke thinking when it comes to addressing three extremely simple, straightforward ideas President Trump posited: 1. “There are two sexes.”...

A Brazilian veterinary student could spend up to a decade behind bars, merely for expressing her views of gender ideology on social media. At the heart of the matter are two social media posts published in 2020 that questioned prevailing claims about gender ideology. For example, Isadora said that a man who identifies as a woman is still “born male” and “retains their birth DNA.” For statements like that, prosecutors are now seeking a sentence that could stretch to ten years in prison.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is set to invalidate about 1,700 driver’s licenses held by transgender residents and roughly as many birth certificates under a new law that goes beyond Republican-imposed restrictions in other states on listing gender identities in government documents. The bill prohibits documents from listing any sex other than the one assigned birth and invalidates any that reflect a conflicting gender identity. Florida, Tennessee and Texas also don’t allow driver’s licenses to reflect a trans person’s gender identity, and at least eight states besides Kansas have policies that bar trans residents from changing their birth certificates. But...

The family of 12-year-old Kylie Smith, brutally murdered in the Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia mass shooting by a transgender lunatic on February 10, has been forced to cancel her funeral due to credible death threats. The threats appear to stem from the transgender community and its supporters.

Last week, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a bill that would limit the use of public bathrooms by birth sex rather than by gender identity. Republican supermajorities in the House and Senate adopted the measure late last month after employing a series of legislative maneuvers to expedite its passage without providing an opportunity for public feedback on key provisions, including the requirement that people use public restrooms and other private spaces in accordance with their sex assigned at birth.It’s the latest in a series of bills the Kansas Legislature has passed in recent years limiting the rights of transgender residents....

It is illegal to say that there are only two sexes, and that indoctrinating children to believe otherwise is dangerous. How illegal? Well, at least in British Columbia, it can bankrupt you. Canadian tribunal fines man $750,000 for believing there are only two genders https://t.co/W5DJVp0zIi— Not the Bee (@Not_the_Bee) February 20, 2026The same totalitarian impulse that gets Europeans arrested and American companies fined hundreds of millions or billions of dollars exists in Canada, but the legal structures are different, so the censorious impulse is expressed differently. No doubt you are aware of the sensational cases of Jordan Peterson and Mark...

Deranged transgender gunman Robert Dorgan was cousins with his ex-wife, Rhonda Dorgan, whom he gunned down along with their son at a high school hockey game. The twisted relationship emerged after records showed the killer had the same name as his murdered ex and her parents, who were also seriously injured in his rampage Monday, according to the Providence Journal. A deep dive then showed that he and Rhonda were first cousins once removed when they tied the knot in 1992. The twisted relationship emerged after records showed the killer had the same name as his murdered ex and her...
