30 Transgender Regretters Come out of the Closet

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .[Walt] Heyer has written several books on transgender regret, but his sixth and newest book, “Trans Life Survivors,” is not his personal story. It’s a compilation of the stories of many others caught up in today’s “transmania.” They specifically sought out Walt to get some much-needed support. They’ve shared their lonely, surreal experiences falling down the trans rabbit hole, hoping to escape as he did.

Walt’s correspondents describe a wide range of frustrating and confusing experiences. Some are nudged into transgenderism by social pressures and emotional manipulation. Many are hastily sent into surgery without adequate counseling (or any counseling at all), or are misdiagnosed. Some of those regret their decision very shortly after having irreversible surgery.

So “Trans Life Survivors” is a godsend for people struggling with trans regret, no matter what stage of transition or de-transition they are in. The book highlights 30 stories gleaned from among the many hundreds Heyer has received from his readers. Many more transgender people have contacted Walt over the years. Walt has been trying valiantly to keep up with the increasing volume of contacts. . .

In “Trans Life Survivors,” you’ll also read about “Blair,” who holds a Guinness World Record for most gender-reassignment surgeries: 167 surgeries to make him feel more like a woman. Needless to say, it didn’t work out. But we can easily suspect in his case the existence of surgical predators who take advantage of vulnerable people. Many others, like Michael, recognize that it’s all “a sick money-making industry.”

Others who have communicated with Walt include parents whose children are being pressured into gender transition by public school officials, social media, and pop culture. “Trans Life Survivors” also includes chapters on the medical realities of sex change as well as the politicization of medicine and psychiatry that locks people into a transgender identity.

Investigation Into Drive-By Shooting of Child Takes a ‘New Direction’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Investigators are now calling the shooting of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes a case of mistaken identity after witnesses believed a white man in a red pickup truck was responsible for her Dec. 30 murder, but officials said Sunday that two different men have been taken into custody and one has been charged with capital murder.

Barnes was killed while sitting in the backseat of her mother’s car with her three sisters as they drove out of a Walmart parking lot in northeast Houston on Dec. 30. Her mother, LaPorsha Washington, was also shot when a car pulled up and began spraying bullets.

The case garnered national attention after Washington said she believed the case to be a hate crime after she and her family identified the shooter in the apparently random attack to be a white male. . .

Authorities originally reported the suspect to be a white man driving a red pickup truck based on accounts of the shooting from Barnes’s family, but the Harris County Sheriff’s Office tweeted late Saturday that the investigation had “taken a new direction.”

Homicide investigators subsequently filed a capital murder charge against Eric Black Jr., 20, according to a statement from the sheriff’s office, who had been identified as a suspect based on a tip. He later admitted to taking part in the shooting.

‪I’ll go ahead and state the obvious. 24 y/o Larry Woodruffe doesn’t fit the description offered by the 4 different witness statements or composite sketch. Accordingly, this tip was difficult to believe. Assuming the confession elicited is reliable— it is possible the previously identified suspect seen fleeing by several independent witnesses was a bystanader attempting to escape the shooting. To observers, however, he appeared to be the shooter himself. ‬More information will have to be drawn out before there is a conviction. Nonetheless, the community is collectively responsible for obtaining evidence that has led to a credible arrest and we are closer to answers. That much is laudable.

Actress Wants Fat-Shaming To Be Considered Hate Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Body positivity” has been a rallying cry for many celebrities and women’s organizations that claim being overweight is not unhealthy. Now one celebrity in particular wants to make “fat-shaming” — remarks intended to make someone feel bad over their weight — to be considered “hate speech.”

Actress Jameela Jamil from “The Good Place” announced last week that she would start a company based on her Instagram account, “I Weigh,” which focuses on body positivity. She announced her new company in a tweet last Wednesday and said one of the company’s “main goals is to work towards a policy change that means this way of talking about people’s bodies is considered hate speech.”

The tweet was a response to one from another Twitter user who posted photos from a tabloid depicting two female celebrities in bathing suits with captions. In one photo, Rebel Wilson wears a one-piece bathing suit with the caption: “The stand-up comedian, 29, made a big splash in Pitch Perfect, and does the same when she hits the surf!”

One might not necessarily see this as cruel, but the comment is made among other photos mocking celebrities for their looks, including Tara Reid’s “botched surgery.”

Another photo posted by the account shows “Glee” actress Lea Michele in a bikini bending over with the caption: “The 28-year-old singer’s most famous role was on Glee, but her biggest rolls are…” the photo cuts off. The image includes a circle around her torso and the words “roll player.”

‘TransKids’ Site Sells Fake Penises for Girls Who Identify as Boys

/0 Comments/in , /by

The website is called “TransKids,” and it’s “dedicated to providing young folks with gender expression gear and resources,” according to its homepage. . .

[Warning: explicit content]

For starters, there’s the “Masho,” which the site says is “a much requested prosthetic from Japan that we are able to offer in limited quantities.” In addition, the Masho “is angled downward for a more realistic and less ‘outstanding’ package. While designed for adults, this is one of the smaller packers on the market.” . . .

The Model E is “designed especially for younger folks (aprox. 8-13 years old)” and “are discreet enough that they can be worn all day under clothes. We offer a harness that can be used with this and this also comes with instructions on how to make your own harness out of a pair of underpants.” The site adds that “if your child was assigned female at birth but wants to stand up while urinating, [the Model E] just might work great for them.” . . .

Here’s what the site has to say about the extra small packer:

While most trans boys don’t start packing until they are teens or older, sometimes young kids want to have a prosthetic and what is on the market is really just too big for most folks under 10 years old. So our friends who make our Silicone Packers, came up with a mini version for young and/or smaller kids. Now these may look “too” tiny to some, but we have done a lot of research and think these are pretty accurate in their overall size. That said they are a scaled down version of a larger Packer, so the proportion is not what you might see attached to an AMAB [assigned male at birth] kid.

Report: Women Speak of Nuns Allegedly Sexually Abusing Them When They Were Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .CBS News broadcast a segment with reporter Nikki Battiste in which Battiste detailed instances of nuns abusing children. The segment began by noting an organization titled The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP). . .

A former nun who works with SNAP, Mary Dispenza , said by working with SNAP she periodically heard of instances where nuns abused children sexually, noting that since a grand jury named hundreds of priests who were pedophiles in Pennsylvania, at least 18 people informed her that they had been subject to sexual abuse by nuns.

Dispenza told CBS News, “The demands of chastity and celibacy are unrealistic demands for many of us.” She recalled her own experience when a superior told her to come to her room: “I knelt down right next to her and she kissed me all over softly, my face … and I want to say, ‘Oh but it wasn’t bad,’ but it was. And I’ve carried it with me until today.” When Battiste asked her why there had not been news about abuse by nuns before, Dispenza answered, “A lot has to do with the culture of nuns which are, they are very, very private by nature.”

Battiste interviewed a woman named Trish Cahill, who spoke of her alleged abuse when she was 15. Cahill said she told a nun named Eileen Shaw at a convent in New Jersey her dark secret: that her uncle, a priest who had since died, had allegedly sexually abused her from the time she was five years old. Cahill said of Shaw, “I would have done anything for her. I would have died for her. She gave me everything that was lacking that I didn’t even know I was lacking. I was so broken. She filled in all those pieces.”

But Cahill alleged Shaw was “grooming” her, utilizing drugs and alcohol while she initiated a sexual relationship with her. Cahill remembered, “I’m with my friends during the day. And I’m with this pedophile nun on the evenings and on the weekends, and in the summer.” In 1994, Cahill reported Shaw’s actions to the sisters of charity of St. Elizabeth, which settled with her out of court for $70,000. She said, “They had canon lawyers on retainer just for people like me. Shut her up, pacify her, tell her you love her and you’ll pray for her, and send her on her way.” (Read more from “Report: Women Speak of Nuns Allegedly Sexually Abusing Them When They Were Kids” HERE)

Democrat Introduces Bill to Remove Words ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’ From Federal Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Julia Brownley, D-Calif., is introducing a bill to rewrite federal laws with gender-neutral terms, codifying the progressive ideological tenet that distinctions between men and women are exclusionary.

Her bill, according to The Hill, would replace the terms “husband” and “wife” in federal law with the word “spouse.”

“While the landmark Supreme Court decision ending the ban on same-sex marriage was a historic step in the right direction, there is still more work to be done to ensure that the LGBTQ community is treated equally under the law in all respects,” Brownley said. “Our words reflect our values, and every gendered reference in our federal code undermines and de-legitimizes same-sex couples.”

She added that her bill will “recognize and re-affirm that all Americans have the right to marry the person they love, to ensure no one is denied federal benefits and protections because of who they love, and more broadly to make sure that same sex couples are treated equally under the law in all respects.”

Brownley introduced a similar bill in the last Congress that went nowhere. But now Democrats are in charge, so don’t be surprised if this time the legislation gets a vote.

Pro-Hamas Doctor in Ohio: Jews Are ‘Nazis’ and ‘Dogs’…and I Would Give Them the Wrong Meds If I Could

/0 Comments/in , /by

A wise man once told me that Twitter, for some, is nothing more than a prolonged and lengthy resignation letter from one’s job. In Ohio, one doctor has found that out the hard way. In the 21stcentury, anti-Semitism is mostly frowned upon. I say mostly because not everyone agrees that such bigoted views are problematic. Ironically, the far left finds racism, bigotry, and problematic behavior in everything and everyone, but when it comes to people of the Jewish faith—they’re fair game in terms of being subjected to vicious discrimination and a variety of epithets. This resident at a clinic in Cleveland reportedly called Jewish people dogs, was rather unsympathetic about the Holocaust, and joked about purposefully giving Jewish people the wrong medication. Needless to say, she was fired in September of 2018 for this demented behavior. Dr. Death will have no chance in potentially rearing its ugly head (via Times of Israel):

A hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, said it has fired a doctor after it emerged that she had been making anti-Semitic remarks for years on social media.

On January 2, 2012, she wrote that she would “purposely give all the yahood the wrong meds,” using the Arabic word for Jews. She also repeatedly expressed hope that “Allah will kill the Jews.”

In December of that year, she responded to a Twitter user who said “Peace won’t come by killing every Zionist. There has to be diplomacy” by writing: “After repeated failed diplomacy, our aim is to defeat the Zionist state through force.”

In October 2012 she said the Holocaust was “exaggerated and the victimization of the jews (ignoring the others killed) is overdone,” and that she was having “a REALLY hard time feeling bad about Holocaust seeing as the ppl who were in it now kill my ppl.”

Another Good Guy With a Gun — This Time a Florida City Official — Shoots Home Intruder

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Typically stories about United States citizens who take to heart their constitutional right to keep and bear arms — and who use their guns to protect themselves and loved ones — involve civilians.

But this time the good guy with a gun turned out to be a Florida city official — and the result was the same as it’s been in so many of these instances: Bad news for the bad guy. . .

Palmetto police spotted a possibly impaired driver about 10 p.m. Thursday and attempted to pull over the vehicle — but the driver sped away instead, police told the Bradenton Herald. . .

Vasquez-Perez climbed a fence into Palmetto Commissioner Brian Williams’ backyard and broke into Williams’ garage in an apparent attempt to hide from police, the paper said. . .

But Williams pushed Vasquez-Perez back — and then shot him twice, Chief of Police Scott Tyler told the paper. (Read more from “Another Good Guy With a Gun — This Time a Florida City Official — Shoots Home Intruder” HERE)

Palmetto City Commissioner Shoots Intruder in Self-Defense, Police Say

By Bradenton Herald. A Palmetto city commissioner shot a man in self-defense after that man broke into his home after crashing into his neighbor’s house while fleeing from a traffic stop, according to police. . .

Williams’ daughter, who lives next door, spotted Vasquez-Perez and called her dad. Williams armed himself, then heard Vasquez-Perez trying to get into the kitchen from the garage. Vasquez-Perez was then confronted by Williams at gunpoint. Vasquez-Perez attempted to push past and punch Williams, who then pushed Vasquez-Perez back and shot him twice, according to Tyler.

“He was lawfully defending home and family,” Tyler said. . .

Vasquez-Perez surrendered to police and was rushed to Blake Medical Center, where he underwent surgery. As of Friday, he was in stable condition and expected to recover from his injuries.

Williams declined to comment while the police investigation into the shooting remains open other than to say, “I am glad that everything turned out the way it did. I guess he is doing OK and we are happy and glad that no one in my family was hurt.” (Read more from “Palmetto City Commissioner Shoots Intruder in Self-Defense, Police Say” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi’s Daughter Uses Gruesome Metaphor to Describe Her Mother

/0 Comments/in , /by

Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) daughter chose an intense way to describe her mother during a CNN interview about Nancy Pelosi’s meetings with President Donald Trump over the government shutdown. . .

Here’s what she said:

“She’ll cut your head off, and you won’t even know you’re bleeding. That’s all you need to know about her. No one ever won betting against Nancy Pelosi. She’s persevered. You got to give her credit. No matter what you think of her, you have to give her credit because, think about it, think about all these presidents she’s endured, right? The [George H.W.] Bush, the [George W.] Bush, the Clinton.

She’s been through it all. So, she’s been around. This is not her first rodeo, as your friend George Bush would say. She knows what she’s doing, and that should make you sleep at night, knowing that somebody in this town knows what they’re doing.”

Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have been in a standoff with President Donald Trump over funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Pelosi said the Democratic-majority House plans to pass a funding bill without wall funding, and Trump insists that he will not sign a bill that doesn’t pay for the wall.

ANOTHER: New Orleans Women’s March CANCELED – Here’s Why

/0 Comments/in , /by

Organizers of the New Orleans Women’s March say their January event is now off after a “drastic” drop-off in support, The Washington Times reports. . .

Though they did not initially specify the “issues” that led to NOW canceling the New Orleans Women’s March — one of the largest in the country — a further statement indicated a severe drop-off in both participation and fundraising after two major exposes in Tablet and in The New York Times revealed that the national Women’s March’s hierarchy was a hotbed of anti-Semitic thought.

“Many of the sister marches have asked the leaders of Women’s March, Inc. to resign but as of today, they have yet to do so,” NOW Baton Rouge’s statement read. “The controversy is dampening efforts of sister marches to fundraise, enlist involvement, find sponsors and attendee numbers have drastically declined this year. New Orleans is no exception.”

NOW Baton Rouge added that while they will be moving away from the annual marches, they will continue to work on behalf of the “resistance” in Louisiana.

“However, this does not mean the end of our momentum in Louisiana. It’s time to look past the marching and look towards a new stage of the movement,” they added. “Going forward, we will re-organize and re-evaluate the momentum that the Women’s March gave all of us the first two years.” (Read more from “ANOTHER: New Orleans Women’s March CANCELED – Here’s Why” HERE)
