A twice-paroled transgender serial killer with a six-decade history of murdering women has been convicted yet again, this time for the savage 2022 beating death and dismemberment of 68-year-old Susan Leyden, whose headless torso was found stuffed in a shopping cart near his East New York apartment.

The settlement follows an investigation into the hospital begun in 2023 by Paxton's office accused of providing sex change treatments to minors after Governor Greg Abbott signed legislation banning children from getting puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone treatments. “Today...

Climate change now impacts genders? According to State Senator Steve Padilla (D-San Diego), Climate change impacts gender. And according to Dr. Nancy L. Cohen of the Gender Equity Policy Institute, “Women bear the brunt of climate change.” “Climate emergencies don’t affect everyone equally,” said Senator Padilla.

Judy Walcott, a longtime member of a Planet Fitness location in Concord, New Hampshire, told Fox News Digital she felt unsafe after encountering someone she believed was male in the women’s locker room near the shower area on April 11. “I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad,” she told Fox News Digital. Walcott said she reported the incident to a young employee at the front desk, who told...

A California postseason track meet on Saturday opened with a "Save Girls’ Sports" rally outside the gates and ended in familiar fashion, as one athlete again separated from the field in the jumping events, highlighting growing concerns over competitive fairness in girls’ sports. Saturday’s CIF Southern Section Division 3 preliminaries in Yorba Linda drew attention before competition began, with demonstrators protesting California’s policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports. Inside, the focus turned to the jumping events, where biological male AB Hernandez, a senior from Jurupa Valley, competed against women and finished first across all three competitions with...

A cross-dressing “tenant from hell” has terrorized a Bronx apartment building by wildly waving around weapons, masturbating in a hallway and almost causing a catastrophe when he turned on all his gas burners, according to footage and neighbors. The off-the-rails renter apparently wears an array of wigs when harassing neighbors and hasn’t paid rent in more than a year at the East 214th Street building in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx, according to the building management company and apartment residents. But management can’t give him the boot just yet as building residents live in fear. “The blonde wig, he...

Trouble emerged after Rose Inessa-Ethington, 42, and her partner, 32-year-old Blue Inessa-Ethington, purportedly took Rose’s kid under the guise of going on a camping trip in Canada, the US Attorney’s Office said in a Tuesday press release.

The Texas Tech University System in Lubbock, Texas announced on April 9 that it will phase out academic programs related to gender identity while establishing new guidelines for how race and sex topics are taught. A university memo states that the institution will recognize “only two human sexes” and prohibit the endorsement of “gender spectrum” theories or “fluid gender identities.” The policy, issued by Chancellor Brandon Creighton, outlines a system-wide effort to eliminate sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) programs while allowing currently enrolled students to complete their degrees. Under the new guidelines, Texas Tech will freeze admissions to SOGI-related...

In a landmark 8-1 ruling handed down on March 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court in Chiles v. Salazar struck a powerful blow for free speech and against the radical LGBT agenda that has dominated American law and culture for far too long. Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, declared that Colorado’s ban on so-called “conversion therapy” for minors unconstitutionally regulated speech based on viewpoint. ... This decision is no mere procedural win for therapists. It lays the groundwork for the eventual reversal of Obergefell v. Hodges. MassResistance, the pro-family organization that I work for, has long declared that...

The state of New York would now like to require these sisters to assign patient rooms by gender identity rather than biological sex, grant access to opposite-sex bathrooms, use preferred pronouns, undergo state-mandated training in gender ideology, and post notices of compliance with the progressive vision of human nature — or risk fines, loss of their license, and up to one year in prison.

Just when we thought that gender ideology nonsense and pronoun tyranny had died off, there’s a story that reminds us how deeply entrenched it is in our society. This week, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, NY, who run Rosary Hill Home — a Catholic hospice for the impoverished — filed a lawsuit accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights. It relates to a 2024 law that requires the facility to affirm gender identity in regard to patients’ pronouns, room assignments and restroom usage. New York’s LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights was sponsored by Manhattan Borough President...

The post-transphobia commonwealthWhat is the difference between an audacious and a mediocre dead-horse take? Frankly, I don’t know anymore. Some people may read what I have to say as the musings of a neoliberal bubble-inhabiting princess, and others may see them as a call from the Kremlin to stir workers of the world and unite against the master. Whatever you make of my positionality, I have an observation to share with my UC Berkeley compatriots in the Red Army: We may be deluding ourselves into thinking our particular tract of society is an egalitarian wet dream. Oftentimes, when I talk...

A Minnesota children’s hospital plans to resume sex change procedures for minors, flying in the face of President Trump’s executive order banning the practice.

Amy Hamm: I've been fired for my gender critical views. But I'm far from cancelled. My public shaming has been ineffective because I value the truth more than my reputation. ...My public shaming has been ineffective because I value the truth more than my reputation. I will continue to speak it, in the company of other brave and sane Canadians who can plainly see that a man is a man—and that to pretend otherwise is a misogynist lie. https://archive.is/l0HUnAmy Hamm's articles.
