Hard to Watch: First Emmys for Kids Heavily Focuses on LGBT Content

/0 Comments/in , /by

The first annual Children’s and Family Emmy Awards had numerous speeches and awards focused on LGBTQ messaging in an event catering to kids from “infancy to age 15.”

The two-night award show, created by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, bestowed awards on numerous productions containing discussions on gender ideology, and winners occasionally made references to similar progressive topics.

Of all the programs awarded and subsequent acceptance speeches this past weekend, 1 in 4 of them included some information regarding gender identity or sexual orientation.

The first night was hosted by dancer and TikTok star JoJo Siwa, who often refers to herself as “pansexual.” At the start of the show, XOMG pop group, a dance troupe of young girls dressed in futuristic rainbow-colored outfits, performed onstage before Siwa introduced herself. . .

“Muppet Babies” received an award for Outstanding Writing for a Preschool Animated Program. The ceremony specifically highlighted the controversial “Gonzo-rella” episode, in which the character Gonzo tries on dresses and uses they/them programs to identify as non-binary.

Ulta Beauty Is Encouraging Women To Be Fat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ulta Beauty is getting on board with the pro-fat movement.

In September, the women’s cosmetics company inaugurated its “Beauty Of…” podcast with a half-hour interview featuring Virgie Tovar, an author and activist who promotes the pro-fat movement under the guise of “body positivity.” . . .

“For me, fatphobia, which is a form of bigotry against higher-weight people, is what took me out of my body,” Tovar said of her own experience. . .

But she also probably appears confident and comfortable in her own skin because she’s written a book to justify obesity. Most obese people aren’t comfortable, and they’re usually not comfortable with their obesity for good reason. Because being obese isn’t comfortable. Try going on a walk wearing an extra 100 pounds in weight and see if you’re comfortable.

Tovar goes on to break down so-called “fatphobia” in greater detail, explaining how “‘fat activism’ is sort of the response to ‘fat phobia.’” (Read more from “Ulta Beauty Is Encouraging Women To Be Fat” HERE)

What Is a Woman? Dictionary.com Announces Its 2022 Word of the Year

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As the proponents of radical leftist gender ideology wage a struggle to supplant truth with inane gender-bending dogmas that defy reality, Dictionary.com has announced “woman” as its 2022 word of the year.

The website noted that the largest spike in searches for the definition of “woman” this year occurred after GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to define the word during a confirmation hearing on Jackson’s nomination to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jackson infamously declined to provide a definition for the word “woman” and noted that she is not a biologist. She was ultimately confirmed and is currently serving as one of the high court’s nine justices.

The first definition that dictionary.com lists for the word is simply “an adult female person.” (Read more from “What Is a Woman? Dictionary.com Announces Its 2022 Word of the Year” HERE)

The Trans Movement Has Resulted in Biological Males Beating Women in Their Own Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

Biological men in America and internationally are still competing against and beating women in their own athletics.

With lawsuits on behalf of female competitors as well as transgender athletes in courts across the country, the number of biological males competing against women continues to grow.

Male-to-female athlete Cece Telfer was recently rewarded for “pioneering actions” in the sport of track and field, having won a national championship in 400m hurdles in 2019, as reported by The Daily Caller.

Tifanny Abreu, a 6’4 transgender woman who once was pictured on the cover of a magazine with the headline “one of the guys” is a Brazilian volleyball player in the women’s top league, Superliga Women. Abreu was also given an award in 2021 for being “a winner on the floor and a force for the community off of it.” . . .

Looking back, Lia Thomas made international news when the male competed in women’s NCAA swimming, breaking several records along the way. (Read more from “The Trans Movement Has Resulted in Biological Males Beating Women in Their Own Sports” HERE)

Med School Weighed Residents’ Commitment to ‘Anti-Racist Practices’ in Admissions Process

/0 Comments/in , /by

The University of New Mexico School of Medicine considered OBGYN residency applicants’ contributions to anti-racism and diversity during the interviewing process, according to a rubric obtained by Do No Harm, a group that focuses on ending anti-racism in health care.

Interviewers for the University of New Mexico School of Medicine awarded OBGYN residence applicants points based on their “experience and interest” in “equity, anti-racist and diversity, equity and inclusion practices,” according to a 2021-2022 interviewing rubric obtained by Do No Harm. Applicants were given points if they are a member of the “LGBTQIA+” community or are “African American, Latinx or Native American.”

“This residency interview scoring system should worry all Americans who may require healthcare,” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, board chair of Do No Harm, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The only alphabet letters that are important in a physician are three A’s- ability, availability and affability. This is what prospective physicians should be judged on.”

Applicants also received points if they were multilingual and have an “intersection/identity including LGBTQIA+,” the document showed. It is unclear whether the rubric is still in use. (Read more from “Med School Weighed Residents’ Commitment to ‘Anti-Racist Practices’ in Admissions Process” HERE)

Public Schools Tell Fourth Graders To Write Letter Giving Advice to Trans Kid

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seattle Public Schools (SPS) published a lesson plan instructing fourth graders to write a letter giving advice to a child who knew he was a girl “from the time she was two years old.”

The lesson plan from SPS is part of their “K-5 Gender Book Kit,” which allegedly offers “age-appropriate lessons that align with the Washington State Health Education standards related to self-identity.”

One plan, intended for fourth grade students, centered around the book “I am Jazz,” which is about a child who identifies as transgender. The book’s description reads “From the time she was two years old, Jazz knew that she had a girl’s brain in a boy’s body.”

The corresponding lesson plan says that “by the end of the lesson” the fourth graders will “define transgender and explore an example of gender identity.”

The lesson also has a “writing activity” portion, where students are told to “write a letter to Jazz telling her what you think she should do.” Children are asked, for example, “should she continue to wear girls’ clothes because that’s what makes her comfortable or wear boys’ clothes because that’s what society expects?” (Read more from “Public Schools Tell Fourth Graders To Write Letter Giving Advice to Trans Kid” HERE)

Kirk Cameron Can’t Read His Children’s Book to Kids Unless He Dresses Like a Prostitute and Gyrates for Their Singles

/0 Comments/in , /by

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, and self-control. But the fruit of public libraries is faux diversity, drag queens, and rejection of the sexes — which is why the taxpayer-funded cesspools are “not interested” in giving Kirk Cameron a storytime slot to read his new children’s book on the fruit of the Spirit to kids.

The actor, writer, and producer “has not gotten a single ‘yes’ from the 50-plus public libraries his publisher has contacted so far,” Fox News reported in a Wednesday exclusive. According to Cameron’s publisher and Fox’s scouring of the libraries’ websites, “Many of the same libraries that won’t give Cameron a slot … are actively offering ‘drag queen’ story hours or similar programs for kids and young people.”

It’s not only drag queen story hours, where adult men derive pleasure from strapping on prosthetic breasts, painting theatrical contour all over their masculine faces, and sporting fishnet tights for an audience of children. These libraries reportedly host queer book clubs, a series called “Every Month Is Pride Month,” and so-called “get free help” events where attorneys and other volunteers help patrons fill out legal paperwork to change their names, record themselves as the opposite sex (or sexless entirely), and alter birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver’s licenses, IDs, and passports. But if you want to read to kids about gentleness, goodness, and kindness, it’s a hard no.

How does it go again? … Something, something “blessings of liberty”?

The self-important and self-appointed “principled conservatives” have expended much energy lecturing right-wing culture warriors who resist this debauchery. When conservatives took offense at libraries using their tax dollars to sponsor sexualized events that spit in the face of their deeply held religious beliefs, The Principled Conservatives™ were there with a finger wag and a condescending, First Amendment! Tsk! Viewpoint neutrality! (Read more from “Kirk Cameron Can’t Read His Children’s Book to Kids Unless He Dresses Like a Prostitute and Gyrates for Their Singles” HERE)

If Your Child’s School Can’t Tell Boys From Girls, How Can You Trust Them on Anything?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last Thursday afternoon, time expired for parents to provide comments on proposed changes to sex education in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), one of the largest school districts in the country, with a population of about 180,000 students. As The Federalist reported last week, the proposal includes labeling boys and girls, respectively, as “assigned” males and females “at birth.” It also includes curricula on “sexual orientation and gender identity” that involves watching a pro-transgender PBS video telling kids they can have “intermediate” private parts.

If you think FCPS officials will carefully consider comments and complaints from parents worried about exposing their prepubescent children to transgender ideology, and perhaps even rethink their plans, I have some swampland in Florida I’d like to sell you. As we have seen from earlier examples of Fairfax County “welcoming comments” on proposed changes to road names, this public survey is nothing more than an empty, perfunctory bureaucratic procedure aimed at pretending that parents have a say regarding what happens during the school day.

Yet even more saliently, FCPS’s willingness to embrace this radical gender ideology and foist it upon thousands of Northern Virginia youth provokes a more important question: If our public schools can’t differentiate boys from girls, what wisdom and knowledge can they impart? . . .

I confess a certain embarrassment to be the one writing on this. When I worked in FCPS, I taught high-school history, not science. Years before that, I earned a respectable but certainly not impressive “B” in my ninth-grade FCPS honors biology class. But I’d like to think the lessons my teacher offered on the rudimentary realities of male and female biology — which of course apply not only to humans but the entirety of the natural order — are still in effect, even if it’s been 24 years since the last time I took a test on stamens, pistils, and gametes. I can still remember us boys immaturely chuckling when our teacher discussed ova and sperm.

But this is no laughing matter. School administrators and educators across the country have dispensed with these basic truths of biology in favor of the latest “findings” from politicized university sociology and “gender studies” departments. Schools take their directives not from biology — or, God forbid, classical philosophy and its articulation of the teleological nature of the human body, oriented, as ova and sperm are, toward the creation of new life — but from politically motivated journalists who attack the few teachers courageous enough to take a stand.

Unvaxxed 14-Year-old Rejected by Top Hospital for Lifesaving Surgery

/0 Comments/in , /by

A problem that already has become so severe in America’s health care industry that a physicians’ group has launched a campaign demanding that Congress intervene has flared again.

This time it is affecting the life of a 14-year-old girl who needs a lifesaving kidney transplant – but has been refused medical care by Duke University Hospital because she is unvaccinated.

WND reported earlier that situation had developed so often that the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons created an online process to allow Americans to email their members of Congress.

The AAPS is demanding that transplant centers be legally prohibited from “treating an individual as ineligible to donate or receive an organ” or assign “a lower priority to an individual waiting to receive an organ” if that individual has declined to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., said his proposal to do just that is in response to “several reports from across the United States of individuals being removed from the organ transplant list or moved to ‘inactive’ status as a result of being unvaccinated.” (Read more from “Unvaxxed 14-Year-old Rejected by Top Hospital for Lifesaving Surgery” HERE)

‘Oh Honey, No’: Jennifer Lawrence Claims She Was First-ever Female Action Movie Lead

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence faced intense backlash after claiming she was the first female action hero in cinema when she starred in “The Hunger Games.”

Speaking with Variety, Lawrence said that prior to her role as Katniss Everdeen, “nobody” had put a woman as the leading role in an action movie, adding that people attempted to keep women out of roles by cultivating a lie about how audiences identify with characters.

“I remember when I was doing ‘Hunger Games,’ nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead,” she said.

“And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every one of those beliefs, and proves that it is just a lie to keep certain people out of the movies. To keep certain people in the same positions that they’ve always been in,” Lawrence added.

Prominent Twitter users quickly rushed to correct the actress, offering examples of high-budget action films starring female leads long before Lawrence entered the spotlight.
