Transgender Troops Will Be Separated From Military, Pentagon Says

By Military Times. The Pentagon revealed the specifics of its transgender troop policy in a court filing Wednesday that says any service member or recruit who has been diagnosed with or treated for gender dysphoria is disqualified from serving — unless they can prove they meet a specific warfighting need and adhere to severe restrictions on their day-to-day behavior.

The memo effectively bans transgender members from openly serving, directing the military to identify service members who have a “current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with,” gender dysphoria within 30 days. It directs officials to then begin separation proceedings within another 30 days.

The policy memo was included in the latest court filing in a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order against transgender military service, one of many hot-button issues the president made a priority to address on his first days in office.

Like the executive order, the policy filed Wednesday suggests that the lethality and integrity of the military “is inconsistent” with what transgender personnel go through as they transition to the gender they identify with, and issues an edict that gender is “immutable, unchanging during a person’s life.” (Read more from “Transgender Troops Will Be Separated From Military, Pentagon Says” HERE)

Male and Female Made Sole Choices in Personal Spaces as Navy Ends Diverse Gender Designations

By Stars and Stripes. Navy personnel will no longer see questions about gender identity when they fill out forms, and single-sex spaces on ships and bases can now be designated only as male or female.

Those changes are part of new guidance the service issued this week in response to an executive order requiring federal agencies to adopt a binary definition of sex.

A Navy memo dated Tuesday states that the U.S. recognizes two sexes, which “are not changeable.” It notes the Defense Department’s intention to halt references to what is dubbed gender ideology.

Intimate spaces include bathrooms and single sailors’ living quarters on base and in ship berthing. (Read more from “Male and Female Made Sole Choices in Personal Spaces as Navy Ends Diverse Gender Designations” HERE)

Police: Transgender Suspect Planted Explosives at Tesla Dealership

A transgender individual has been arrested after allegedly planting explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership, as instances of violence and vandalism surge at other Tesla locations.

Lucy Grace Nelson, a 40-year-old male who identifies as a transgender woman, was arrested on Monday night following “several” instances of vandalism at the Loveland Tesla dealership, leading to “incendiary devices” being found at the scene,” police announced Wednesday.

The Loveland Police Department investigation, which began on January 29, resulted in Nelson’s arrest when he allegedly “returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism.”

The dealership reported instances of vandalism on January 29, February 2, and February 7.

Nelson, who was identified as a “woman” instead of a biological man by ABC News, NBC News, and CNN, was booked into the Larimer County Jail on charges of explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief, and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony.

Man Arrested For Allegedly Plotting ‘Mass Casualty’ Event Was ‘Transitioning’ Genders, Police Confirm

A Texas man arrested for allegedly planning a “mass casualty event” against law enforcement was “transitioning” genders, a police source confirmed to the Caller.

The FBI’s Houston office announced Monday that it arrested Seth “Andrea” Gregori after he allegedly plotted an attack against police “similar to the 2016 Dallas ambush.” In that 2016 attack, Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed police officers in Dallas, Texas, killing five and wounding nine more in a mass shooting. Johnson was reportedly angry over white police officers shooting black suspects.

The FBI has arrested Seth “Andrea” Gregori for allegedly making plans for a mass killing of Corpus Christi officers in Texas. (Read more from “Man Arrested For Allegedly Plotting ‘Mass Casualty’ Event Was ‘Transitioning’ Genders, Police Confirm” HERE)

School District Defies Trump Orders, Won’t Tell Parents If Children Identify As Transgender

A Virginia school district insists it will not tell parents if a child begins identifying as a different gender, despite the Trump administration’s warning that schools promoting gender ideology will lose their federal funding.

Albemarle County Public Schools in Charlottesville sent an email to parents on February 3 reminding them about the district’s transgender and anti-racism policies. The transgender policy states that students are “not required to obtain parental consent” to be called a new name and pronoun by teachers and school staff, who are expected to “honor” the student’s request.

“School administration will not contact a student’s parents in relation to such a request unless asked to do so by the student,” the policy reads.

“Recent events have highlighted the importance of standing together against bullying, harassment, and discrimination,” Dr. Daphne Keiser, Assistant Superintendent for School Community Engagement wrote to families.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month warning that schools promoting ideas like Critical Race Theory or gender ideology would see their federal funding stripped. Another executive order bans trans-identifying males in girls’ sports by threatening to rescind funds from schools that allow them to.

Insanity: Biden Admin. Spent Hundreds of Millions in Tranny Experiments on Animals

At least $241 million in taxpayer funds was spent on transgender surgeries and animal experiments, prompting a congressional lawmaker to question the rationale behind the expenditures.

Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., on Wednesday, said spending millions on such treatments was “insane, right?”

During a Feb. 6 House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing titled: “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty,” earlier this month, Justin Goodman of the White Coat Waste Project (WCW) watchdog group said the federal government spent millions on “transgender animal testing.”

“I would say that’s the floor, not the ceiling,” Goodman told Crane.

“In a lot of these cases, they involve mice, rats, monkeys, who are being surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female to male or male to female gender transitions, gender-affirming hormone therapies, and then looking at the biological, psychological and physiological effects of the gender transitions, looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you’ve transitioned these animals from male to female or female to male, looking at the size of their genitals changing after you’ve put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition them,” he added.

Transgender Activists Angered After Stonewall National Monument Drops ‘T’ From LGBT

Activists for transgenderism were angered after the United States National Park Service (NPS) removed the word “transgender” from the website for the Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village.

NPS’s decision to remove references of the word from the website for the monument was met with criticism by Erik Bottcher, the council who represents Greenwich Village, according to the New York Times.

Bottcher described the move as “the latest attempt to erase the very existence of transgender people.”

While the NPS website for the Stonewall Monument does not mention the word transgender, it mentions lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals.

“Before the 1960’s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal,” the webpage says. “The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest of LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.” (Read more from “Transgender Activists Angered After Stonewall National Monument Drops ‘T’ From LGBT” HERE)

U.S. Army Ends Gender-Affirming Procedures, No Longer Accepting Transgender Individuals

The United States Army announced that it would no longer be allowing transgender-identifying individuals to join the military and would no longer be performing medical procedures “associated with gender transition.”

“The #USArmy will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members,” The U.S. Army wrote in a post on X.

The announcement from the U.S. Army comes after President Donald Trump previously signed an executive order stating that people who “express a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.”

Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life. A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.

The executive order also states that the policy of the U.S. government is to “establish high standards for troop readiness, lethality, cohesion, honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity,” adding that the policy is “inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria.”

Far-Left Activists in Drag Rail Against Trump as City Votes to Become Trans Sanctuary

The Worcester City Council in Massachusetts voted in favor of a resolution to become a sanctuary city for those transgender and gender-diverse Tuesday.

During a lengthy city council meeting, approximately 200 people from the LGBT+ community arrived to show their support for the resolution—often expressing concerns for their safety under the new Trump administration.

One speaker, donning a purple wig, pearl necklace and white gloves, said she needs the city to protect her because the federal government will not, and she is “afraid of Trump.”

The speaker, who also claimed to have a multitude of disabilities, addressed fears that the city would become a target of the administration and lose federal funding if the measure was passed, then issued a warning.

“If you say that you’re afraid of Trump and that’s why you don’t want the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space,” she said.

Female Athletes Sue Ivy Leagues After Being Forced To Change In Front Of, Compete Against Man

Several women who were former college athletes filed a lawsuit Tuesday after being forced to compete against a man and share changing rooms and bathrooms with him in 2022.

Grace Estabrook, Ellen Holmquist and Margot Kaczorowski all competed on the University of Pennsylvania’s (UPenn) swim team when transgender-identifying male athlete Lia Thomas was allowed to join the team and use the women’s facilities. The women are suing UPenn as well as Harvard University, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Ivy League Council of Presidents for allegedly violating Title IX by discriminating against women and causing them “emotional harm,” the lawsuit states.

Many of the details included in the suit stem from the 2022 Ivy League Championships at Harvard during which Thomas shared changing spaces with the female athletes. The university did not provide any separate changing space for Thomas or any female athlete that did not feel comfortable changing in front of the male since all locker rooms were converted into women’s spaces for the competition, the court documents state.

Riley Gaines, a former athlete who also competed against Thomas, said the lawsuit was filed with “serendipitous timing,” as she plans to attend the signing of an executive order Wednesday barring men from competing in women’s sports.

ESPN Gets Dragged For Temper Tantrum After Trump Bans Men From Ruining Women’s Sports

The woke-scolds running ESPN threw a temper tantrum on Wednesday over President Trump’s efforts to keep men out of women’s sports — and boy, oh boy, did it not end well for them.

While “reporting” on the president’s executive order designed to restore fairness in sports by preventing trans-identifying males from competing against female athletes, the Disney-owned sports media company went out of its way to regurgitate tenants of leftists’ asinine and dangerous gender ideology. In a tweet linking to an article detailing Trump’s order, ESPN described males as “people who were biologically assigned male at birth.”

“President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday designed to prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth from participating in women’s or girls’ sporting events,” the tweet reads.

The linked article also used the phrase “assigned male at birth” to describe human males.

In its piece, ESPN hyperbolically claimed that Trump’s new directive “marks another aggressive shift by the Republican president’s second administration in the way the federal government deals with transgender people and their rights.” The outlet also gave credence to the false premise that individuals can change their sex by referring to track athlete Sadie Schreiner — a woman-pretending man — as a “transgender woman.” (Read more from “ESPN Gets Dragged For Temper Tantrum After Trump Bans Men From Ruining Women’s Sports” HERE)
