Trailblazing Trans Lawmaker Sentenced To Over 33 Years For Child Exploitation

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The first transgender lawmaker elected to a state legislature was sentenced to 33 years in prison Thursday for charges of child exploitation after convincing his “former intimate partner” to take explicit photos of children at a daycare.

Stacie-Marie Laughton, a 42-year-old man who claims to be a woman, faces more than 33 years in prison after convincing his former partner, Lindsay Groves, to take photos of children at the daycare where she once worked. Groves took nude photos of children estimated to be between the ages of three and five during bathroom breaks and diaper changes, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), before sending them to Laughton via text.

Groves’ and Laughton’s phones contained over 10,000 text messages between them in just one month in 2023, which included discussion and transfer of explicit photographs of the children.

Laughton was originally elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 2012 but later announced he would not take office, pointing to three felony convictions related to credit card fraud in 2008. Laughton, who reportedly had plans to become a minister, later served in the House from 2020 to 2022.

Laughton pleaded guilty in November 2025 to three counts of sexual exploitation of children and now faces over 33 years in prison. Groves also pleaded guilty in October 2025 to three counts of sexual exploitation of children and one count of distribution of child pornography, later being sentenced to nearly 22 years.

Federal Judge Rules She Lacks Authority to Reinstate Fired Yosemite Ranger who Flew Trans Pride Flag

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge ruled on Friday that she has no authority to reinstate a park ranger who was fired from Yosemite last summer after flying a trans pride flag on their day off.

Shannon “SJ” Joslin, who identifies as nonbinary, sued the Department of the Interior, which includes the National Park Service, earlier this year after being fired for hanging the flag across the park’s El Capitan rock formation in California last year.

The former ranger in their lawsuit asked the Biden-appointed judge to reinstate Joslin and to keep the government from launching a criminal investigation.

Joslin had argued in the lawsuit that the government had “enforced its rules selectively based on the message that the pride flag sends,” and that Joslin’s firing was “vindictive, retaliatory, [and] intended to communicate disapproval of a particular point of view.”

U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston wrote in her ruling obtained by Fox News Digital: “The government claims for its part that Joslin was fired for reasons that had ‘nothing to do’ with “speech,” adding, “But the government has another more fundamental and more persuasive point: under the laws that Congress has passed, and under the legal precedent that a federal trial court must follow, this Court does not have authority to decide whether Joslin was fired for unconstitutional or illegal reasons, nor to block a hypothetical criminal case against them.” (Read more from “Federal Judge Rules She Lacks Authority to Reinstate Fired Yosemite Ranger who Flew Trans Pride Flag” HERE)

YMCA Changes Locker Room Rules After Transgender Controversy: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A San Francisco YMCA became the center of controversy following a Monday report that a transgender woman had been effectively barred from exposing male genitalia in a women’s locker room following complaints from gym-goers.

The Daily Mail reported that a trans woman named “Sammy,” “has been banned from flaunting her pre-op privates at a YMCA in liberal San Francisco after a sustained freak out by gym goers.”

The Stonestown Family YMCA reportedly posted new rules barring guests from exposing their genitals to other guests.

According to the Daily Mail, the Stonestown Family YMCA posted new rules that read, “Nudity should be discreet, limited, and brief.” The policy change was reportedly announced on a flyer hanging in the changing room headlined “NEW YMCA LOCKER ROOMS GUIDELINES 2026.”

“Nudity is permitted only while actively showering. Members are expected to put clothing on or be covered during use of the space outside of showering,” it continued. (Read more from “YMCA Changes Locker Room Rules After Transgender Controversy: Report” HERE)

Report: Two New York Democrat Candidates Want Federal Funds for Childrens’ ‘Drag Story Hour’ Program

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two New York Democrats running against each other in a congressional primary reportedly want to subsidize the program known as “Drag Story Hour” for school children, the news coming as the program has already been a drain on taxpayer money.

Incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman and former city Comptroller Brad Lander have reportedly expressed support for throwing federal funds at the program, the New York Post reported Tuesday:

“Unfortunately, the Majority does not allow funding from Members of Congress to support LGBTQIA+ programming,” Goldman wrote on a questionnaire from the Jim Owles LGBT Liberal Democratic Club in response to a question about whether he had “hosted, funded, or otherwise supported” a Drag Story Hour.

“However, once we take back the House, I certainly cannot wait to fund programs like Drag Story Hours and other programs,” added Goldman, who is seeking a third term.

In addition, a Lander spokesman told the outlet that if the Democrat won election he was looking forward to “funding affordable housing, health care, child care, USAID, libraries, and lots of arts and culture programs, most certainly including Drag Story Hour.” (Read more from “Report: Two New York Democrat Candidates Want Federal Funds for Childrens’ ‘Drag Story Hour’ Program” HERE)

Largest Children’s Hospital in US to Open ‘Detransition Clinic’ after $10M Settlement with Trump DOJ, State

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in Houston agreed to stop administering puberty blockers to children, pay $10 million in penalties and open a “detransition clinic” after a sweeping probe from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the state of Texas.

The resolution brings to a close a years-long investigation by Texas’ Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, which concluded that TCH fraudulently billed Texas Medicaid for “unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Friday statement.

“Under the terms of this landmark agreement, Texas Children’s will establish the first-ever multidisciplinary clinic designed to provide medical care to patients who were subjected to ‘gender-transition’ procedures,” Paxton wrote.

“This Detransition Clinic will help patients reverse the damage caused by ideologically-motivated physicians who harmed patients by performing dangerous medical interventions for the purpose of “transitioning” them,” Paxton’s statement continued.

All services provided through the detransition clinic will be funded by Texas Children’s and be free of charge to patients for the first five years of the clinic, according to Paxton.

2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex

/0 Comments/in , /by

Maryland Democrat Gov. Wes Moore said he would not stop his 14-year-old son from identifying as the opposite sex if that is “a journey that he wants to go down,” although he later said he would not support the use of puberty blockers.

Moore, who is running for reelection this year and has also been pitched as a 2028 Democrat presidential candidate, made the remark during an interview on The Patrick Bet-David podcast that was released on Tuesday. The conversation lasted two hours and covered a variety of topics besides transgenderism, including the California homelessness crisis, the Iran war, and gerrymandering.

When Moore was specifically asked if he would allow his young son to identify as transgender, he said, “You know, it’s my son, so I love him regardless.”

“And he’s always going to have my undying love. That’s me, right? I want to make sure that I’m involved in understanding where he is, how he’s feeling, the way he’s feeling, why he thinks it’s important. If this is a journey that he wants to go down, I want him to always be comfortable in his own skin, and I want him to always know that he has a partner in me to help him along that journey,” he continued.

When asked if he would tell his son to wait until he is 18 years old to identify as a woman, he replied: “If this is how he is feeling, and I feel like I’m closely tied to him, I’m not going to advise him on something that he feels is right.” (Read more from “2028 Dem Contender Says He Would Allow Underage Son to ‘Transition’ to Opposite Sex” HERE)

A transgender-identifying substitute teacher in Loudoun County, Virginia, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly making threats against a high school.

Loudoun County is a suburb near D.C. that has become infamous for its transgender-related controversies. Hadyn Dollery, a 19-year-old male who reportedly identifies as female is facing charges for making “threats of bodily injury” after law enforcement received tips that he was threatening to commit violence at a high school near Aldie, Fox News reported.

Dollery was apprehended off school property and is being held at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, according to the report. He is being housed alone, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office told the outlet.

The criminal complaint alleges that Dollery threatened several people in a message to a friend on the Discord app, The Loudoun Times-Mirror reported. (Read more from “Transgender Substitute Teacher Arrested for Threatening ‘Murder Spree,’ ‘Kill List’” HERE)

New Study: Trans Kids Are Much More Likely To Suffer Crisis After Transition

/0 Comments/in , /by

Brace yourself for a shock, but pediatric sexual mutilation may not cause happiness.

A study published on April 4 in the Nordic medical journal Acta Paediatrica shows that adolescents who are medically “transitioned” into a new gender identity become far more likely to spiral down into psychological crisis. The paper, “Psychiatric Morbidity Among Adolescents and Young Adults Who Contacted Specialised Gender Identity Services in Finland in 1996–2019: A Register Study,” uses a feature of Finland’s unique hybrid medical system to track outcomes following pediatric sex change procedures: each citizen has “an 11-digit personal identification number” for medical purposes. Medical care for citizens is closely tracked through a system of databases:

The Finnish Population Information System contains current personal data on all residents. Since 1994, the National Institute for Health and Welfare has maintained the Care Register for Health Care (CRHC), which documents healthcare visits by Finnish residents, including diagnoses, procedures, and medical speciality codes. The Social Insurance Institution (SII) of Finland records prescription medication purchases, while the causes of death register maintained by Statistics Finland documents residents’ causes and times of death.

Researchers used diagnostic and procedural codes to find adolescents who transitioned, then tracked what psychiatric services they needed after their sex change procedures, comparing their need for psychiatric intervention to a control group of adolescents who didn’t receive sex change procedures.

Result: “Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up — rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment.” (Read more from “New Study: Trans Kids Are Much More Likely To Suffer Crisis After Transition” HERE)

Trust The Gender Science, Says SCOTUS Justice Who Doesn’t Know What A Woman Is

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are many things that D-list Broadway actress and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson does not understand, as she will be the first to tell you. The latest item on that list, she revealed on Tuesday, is the First Amendment.

After her eight colleagues struck down Colorado’s ban on the use of talk therapy to help children overcome gender confusion, Jackson wrote a 35-page dissent — longer than the majority and concurring opinions combined — and reportedly forced everyone in the courtroom to listen as she read all 35 pages of it from the bench.

“To properly evaluate the First Amendment claim at issue in this case, one must first understand the impetus for Colorado’s regulation, what that law requires, and the nature of the speech it implicates,” she writes.

Jackson clearly does not.

Led by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the majority found that Colorado violated the speech rights of counselors like Kaley Chiles by banning them from providing talk therapy to patients who ask for help overcoming gender dysphoria and other sex-based confusion.

Outrage After Transgender Migrant Gets Just 6 Months in New York Jail for Raping Teen

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The light, six-month jail sentence given to a transgender illegal migrant convicted of raping a child is sparking outrage in New York City and beyond.

Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian national who pleaded guilty to raping a 14-year-old East Harlem boy, is already set to be released for time served before he is even officially sentenced on April 27, according to the New York Post.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office claims that the extremely lenient sentence was agreed upon with the family of the victim and arranged by prosecutors to help the teen avoid having to testify about his abuse in open court.

The District Attorney’s Office also noted that they “expect” that Contreras-Suarez will be arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and then deported immediately upon being released.

Contreras-Suarez was arrested after his victim reported being attacked in a bodega near Thomas Jefferson Park on February 11, 2025. The illegal migrant was arrested the following day.
