Court Strikes Down Biden’s Title IX Trans Overhaul Nationwide

A U.S. district court struck down President Joe Biden’s queer theory rewrite of Title IX nationwide on Thursday, blocking his administration from attempting to change the definition of “sex” to include claimed “gender identities.”

Kentucky U.S. District Court Chief Judge Danny C. Reeves, an appointee of President George W. Bush, blocked the Biden Department of Education’s new Title IX rules. Those rules would have forced schools to allow boys in girls’ private spaces like restrooms and locker rooms, required teachers to refer to children with “preferred pronouns,” and made girls sleep in the same facilities as boys on events like overnight field trips. The Biden rules also stripped the due process rights of persons accused of sexual assault on college campuses, bringing back Obama-era “kangaroo courts” designed to give life to false accusations.

“It is abundantly clear that discrimination on the basis of sex means discrimination on the basis of being a male or female,” Reeves wrote. “Expanding the meaning of ‘on the basis of sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ turns Title IX on its head. … The entire point of Title IX is to prevent discrimination based on sex — throwing gender identity into the mix eviscerates the statute and renders it largely meaningless.”

Over the summer, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed injunctions on the Title IX rule to remain in 26 states where several lawsuits brought by different coalitions were successful in rendering the rewrite null and void. One federal judge in Louisiana struck down the rewrite, referring to it as an “abuse of power” and a “threat to democracy.” (Read more from “Court Strikes Down Biden’s Title IX Trans Overhaul Nationwide” HERE)

The People Carving Up Healthy ‘Trans’ Kids Have Literal ‘Blood On Their Hands’

One of the most insidious assertions of the pro-trans left is that those who oppose puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, and other pseudo-scientific medical interventions for trans-identifying youth have “blood on their hands.” This is because, such ideologues claim, children deprived of this purported “medical care” are more likely to kill themselves.

The fallaciousness of such declarations, however, is becoming more evident in light of acknowledgments from some unlikely sources in the media and medical establishment. . .

The “blood on the hands” slander of the pro-trans left has become predictably commonplace in recent years. NBC earlier this month covered pro-trans activists protesting outside the Supreme Court who alleged our nation’s highest court would have “blood on its hands” if it didn’t determine a Tennessee law limiting access to such interventions was discriminatory. A Missouri LGBT public policy and advocacy organization in November accused Circuit Judge Craig Carter of having “blood on his hands” for upholding a law that restricted transgender medical interventions on kids.

In one of the most inflammatory examples of this rhetoric, transgender-identifying Montana state legislator Zooey Zephyr in April 2023 described state restrictions on such experiments as “tantamount to torture.” Zephyr provocatively warned: “I hope the next time there’s an invocation, when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands.”

These charges were always based on flawed reasoning, even absent any reference to data related to youth suicide incidence rates. How would restricting medical professionals from giving irreversible drugs and surgeries to an otherwise healthy kid be responsible for the latter’s suicide, especially given that as recently as a couple of decades ago, these pharmaceutical interventions were unheard of? And why would large numbers of gender dysphoric youths, supposedly hiding in the shadows until the last decade, suddenly feel the need to kill themselves rather than simply wait until they are old enough to make medical decisions for themselves?

Trans Athlete Slams NCAA for Lack of Full Scholarships to Compete Against Women

A transgender NCAA track and field athlete is blasting the college sports organization for not offering more scholarships to men who identify as women to play women’s sports in college.

Rochester Institute of Technology Sadie Schreiner recently decried the lack of sports opportunities for transgender athletes, according to Fox News.

“Among all the hurdles transfers usually have, there is an extra layer because it is trans, 50% of the country banned me from participating, and that meant I couldn’t attend any of those colleges even if they reached out to me with a full ride,” Schreiner exclaimed.

Schreiner also insisted that the state’s rules cannot prevent him from attending those schools if he wants to.

“It also became clear that states that did, no matter how adamant the coaches were to have me on their teams, the college administrations would usually stop them from allowing me to participate.”

Hulking Trans Child Molester Repeatedly Sexually Assaulted Female Cellmate After Being Transferred to Women’s Prison: Suit

A former inmate at a Washington state women’s prison was repeatedly sexually assaulted by her hulking transgender cellmate — who was transferred to the prison after changing her gender identity, according to a shocking new lawsuit.

Mozzy Clark sued the state department of corrections in federal court last week for locking her in a cell with a 6-foot-4 convicted child molester who allegedly subjected her to months of stalking, threats of violence and sexual harassment and assault, according to the lawsuit.

The cellmate, Christopher Scott Williams, was convicted of sexually assaulting a young girl as a male, and was serving a separate sentence for domestic abuse.

Williams then petitioned to be recognized as female and be transferred to a women’s prison, according to the lawsuit.

When the state granted the request and placed Williams in a cell with Clark, her life became a living nightmare, she alleged. (Read more from “Hulking Trans Child Molester Repeatedly Sexually Assaulted Female Cellmate After Being Transferred to Women’s Prison: Suit” HERE)

Democrats Perform Tactical Retreat on Trangenderism

Pro-transgender officials in President Joe Biden’s administration are dropping a draft regulation that threatened expensive lawsuits against any school that preserved sports for girls.

The move will prevent President-elect Donald Trump’s deputies from rewriting the draft regulations to protect — rather than punish — single-sex K-12 sports.

The pro-transgender regulations from the Department of Education were also intended to force government schools to downplay heterosexuality — and to raise the status of transgenderism — by creating legal rights for K-12 teenagers who claim they are neither male nor female.

“Not upset it’s dead,” said Erin Reed, a writer who claims to be transgender. Biden’s “rule was a terrible rule that could have been weaponized against trans athletes by the Trump admin and there’s a reason 14/16 trans legislators signed a letter against it,” Reed wrote on BlueSky.com.

“The decision helped ensure that the open proposals could not be quickly rewritten and that the Trump administration would have to at least start the process of introducing its own regulations from scratch,” the New York Times wrote.

‘They Want to Groom Your Children’: University of Minnesota Fronted Cash to Get 5-Year-Olds to Play With Sex-Change Dolls

The University of Minnesota is facing criticism over attempts to pay to have little kids play with sex-change dolls.

The National Center for Gender Spectrum Health is a radical initiative of the taxpayer-funded University of Minnesota’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health. The stated goal of the center, which is run by World Professional Association for Transgender Health members Katherine Spencer and Dianne Berg, is to “promote the well-being of all people across the gender spectrum (including those who are cisgender, transgender, and gender diverse).”

The NCGSH — which boasts of having secured over $87,000 in grant funding — put out a call in February for “transgender and gender diverse children between the ages of 5 and 10 years old and their parents,” asking them to participate in a “hands-on activity to help talk about gender and bodies!”

The flyer noted further that “children and parents will meet a few times in groups with others to play with and give us ideas about the activities” and promised compensation between $20 and $60 per group.

The corresponding UM project page indicated that “MyGender Dolls” are “therapeutic tools intended for licensed therapists to use with patients and their parents or caregivers to help children who find it difficult to express themselves.” (Read more from “‘They Want to Groom Your Children’: University of Minnesota Fronted Cash to Get 5-Year-Olds to Play With Sex-Change Dolls” HERE)

Madison Police Chief: ‘I Don’t Know if [Shooter] Was Transgender’

During a Monday night press conference, Madison Chief of Police Shon Barnes was asked about transgender rumors regarding the alleged shooter, and he suggested how “she or he or they may have wanted to identify” had nothing to do with the events that took place.

In a video posted by LiveNOW from Fox, a reporter off-camera noted that questions of whether the shooter was transgender had been raised.

Barnes replied, “Yes, I don’t know whether [the shooter] was transgender or not, and quite frankly, I don’t think that’s even important. I don’t think that’s important at all.” (Read more from “Madison Police Chief: ‘I Don’t Know if [Shooter] Was Transgender’” HERE)

Doctor Who Won’t Release Results of Federal Transgender Study Is Sued by Ex-Patient

The doctor who has refused to release the results of a federally funded study on “gender-affirming care” is being sued by a former patient, a young woman who says she was “fast-tracked” into a gender transition that culminated in having her breasts removed at age 14.

Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, oversaw the treatment of Kaya Clementine Breen. Doctors diagnosed gender dysphoria at age 12 during her first appointment in December 2016.

Ms. Breen’s medical negligence complaint says Dr. Olson-Kennedy “affirmed” the girl’s transgender identity within minutes of meeting her, put her on puberty blockers at age 12 and testosterone at age 13, and then referred her for a double mastectomy.

“She represented that if Clementine got a double mastectomy at an early age, the healing process would be easier, and that if she waited any longer, it would be impossible to do it right,” reads the lawsuit, filed Dec. 5 in California Superior Court in Los Angeles.

When Clementine’s parents objected, Dr. Olson-Kennedy asked “if they would rather have a living son or a dead daughter,” even though the girl had not experienced or expressed suicidal thoughts, the complaint says.

Country Bans Puberty Blockers for Transgender Minors

The United Kingdom on Wednesday indefinitely banned new prescriptions of puberty blockers to treat minors for gender dysphoria. The announcement comes a week after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case involving state bans on puberty-suppressing medication and other forms of transition-related care for minors. . .

The indefinite ban on the medication in Britain comes several months after an independent study commissioned by England’s National Health Service concluded that the medical evidence around transition-related care for minors is “remarkably weak” and that more research is needed.

“Children’s healthcare must always be evidence-led,” British Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said in a press release. “The independent expert Commission on Human Medicines found that the current prescribing and care pathway for gender dysphoria and incongruence presents an unacceptable safety risk for children and young people.”

Dr. Hilary Cass, the author of the independent study, known as the “Cass report,” said she supported the ban, according to the same release.

“Puberty blockers are powerful drugs with unproven benefits and significant risks, and that is why I recommended that they should only be prescribed following a multi-disciplinary assessment and within a research protocol,” she said.

Supreme Court Stunner: Secret Gender Transitions at Schools Can Continue

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday let stand a ruling that subjugates parental rights to school politics.

The ruling that had come out of the 7th U.S. District Court of Appeals in a Wisconsin fight claimed that parental rights were not affected when schools secretly encouraged children to be transgender, so the parents had no standing to bring the case.

Justices Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas would have granted the petition, according to the court announcement, as it’s an issue that is coming up more and more.

Alito explained, “This case presents a question of great and growing national importance: whether a public school district violates parents’ ‘fundamental constitutional right to make decisions concerning the rearing of’ their children…when, without parental knowledge or consent, it encourages a student to transition to a new gender or assists in that process.”

Thomas joined in the statement that added, “We are told that more than 1,000 districts have adopted such policies.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Stunner: Secret Gender Transitions at Schools Can Continue” HERE)
