Trans People Leaving Red States Drain Democrat-Run Seattle’s Nonprofits

Increasing numbers of transgender people are reportedly leaving red states for Democrat-run Seattle, Washington, and a nonprofit in the area is struggling to keep up with the demand.

The group called Traction has assisted over 1,000 transgender people in moving to the area since 2024 but it and other nonprofits, according to a Washington Post article published on Tuesday, are running out of resources.

“Though trans people make up just 1 percent of the population in Washington state, the nonprofits that help them say their budgets are drained and their staffs are stretched so thin that last month the Seattle LGBTQ Commission asked Mayor Katie Wilson (D) to declare a civil state of emergency. Such a declaration would free up general fund dollars to bolster the nonprofits’ finances as they help transplants find housing and jobs,” the outlet said.

The report also cited a poll that suggested about 400,000 transgender adults left red states not long after President Donald Trump beat former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

A poll in 2023 found one-third of Seattle’s residents were considering leaving mainly due to home prices and crime, while homelessness has also been a major issue plaguing the area. (Read more from “Trans People Leaving Red States Drain Democrat-Run Seattle’s Nonprofits” HERE)

Transgender Democrat Activist Urges Followers To ‘Kill Your Local Republican’

A Wisconsin transgender activist has released a run of videos telling people to “kill your local Republican” and vowing a “trans jihad” against MAGA.

Conservative commentator Dustin Grage posted the footage to X on July 1. In one clip, Teha Delaruelle speaks against a background displaying the words “Kill Your Local Republican,” then points to the message. “We’re going to make this the moderate position for the state of Wisconsin,” Delaruelle says, giving followers a one-month window to act.

Another video shows Delaruelle describing a plan to make conservatives live in fear. “We are doing trans jihad,” Delaruelle says, directing the threat at “the oppressor, the bigots, the animals that make up MAGA.” The activist says the goal is a permanent state of dread. “No, this is their new reality,” Delaruelle says.

Grage posted an additional video of Delaruelle featuring the slogans “Smash MAGA” and “Left Wing Death Squads.”

Delaruelle works as a volunteer staffer for Democratic congressional candidate Katrina DeVille and has spent years with the Outagamie County Democrats, according to The Heartland Post. That staffing claim remains unverified, and the DeVille campaign has not addressed it. (Read more from “Transgender Democrat Activist Urges Followers To ‘Kill Your Local Republican’” HERE)

$500,000 Bail for Alleged Would-Be Mass Shooter Transitioning to Female

Bail of $500,000 was set Wednesday in Henderson, Nevada, for alleged would-be mass shooter Allison Howlett, a male transitioning to female.

KSNV reported that Allison is married to Julie Howlett. Police indicated that both Allison and Julie are “transitioning to female and are taking estrogen and progesterone.”

8NewsNow noted that Allison was arrested on Saturday “after refusing to exit her car while armed with multiple firearms in the Sunset Station garage.”

Julie had told police that Allison was allegedly making threats, including “suicide by cop,” and claimed Allison had stolen her car. She also “alleged that Howlett would frequently put on body armor, grab a rifle, and tell her partner to take her to a homeless shelter, alluding to the idea of shooting homeless people.” (Read more from “$500,000 Bail for Alleged Would-Be Mass Shooter Transitioning to Female” HERE)

Mother of Trans Athlete Claims Her Child Was Made ‘Invisible’ After Being Forced to Share Awards Stage with Females

The mother of transgender California track athlete AB Hernandez seems to believe that the winner’s podium at a female track event is no place for females.

In a speech at the San Francisco Pride Summit on Thursday, Nereyda Hernandez took strong exception to the recent California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) decision to give first-place honors to the female athletes who finished behind her son.
Hernandez says the new rule has rendered her son “invisible.”

“Of course I’m going to be upset,” Hernandez said. “AB put in all the work, all the hours after school, and she got put aside. It was heartbreaking. I knew it hurt her, because she’s physically there, but she’s kind of invisible.”

The CIF instituted the new rule as a way of, at least attempting to quell the controversy surrounding the state’s decision to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports.

Trailblazing Trans Lawmaker Sentenced To Over 33 Years For Child Exploitation

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

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

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

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

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

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)
