Seattle Children’s Hospital Leaves Texas After Investigation Over Gender Transition Medication for Minors: AG

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seattle Children’s Hospital has agreed to stop providing care in Texas after backlash for allegedly helping minors in the Lone Star state receive gender transition medication, The Post has exclusively learned.

The hospital is suspected of providing support for gender transitions to Texas-based patients from its Seattle facility, which writes prescriptions for sex change hormones to their pharmacies in the Lone Star state, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Paxton says this would violate state law, which prohibits drug and surgical sex changes for kids. However, when his office made enquiries they were rebuffed.

“Seattle Children’s Hospital appeared to break Texas law and initially tried to evade accountability when investigated,” Paxton said in a statement shared with The Post. . .

Seattle Children’s subsequently sued Texas in December arguing the state’s request should either be invalidated or limited, claiming “the Demands represent an unconstitutional attempt to investigate potential interstate commerce and travel for Texas residents to another state.” (Read more from “Seattle Children’s Hospital Leaves Texas After Investigation Over Gender Transition Medication for Minors: AG” HERE)

Military Could Hit Troops With Court-Martials for Refusing to Use Preferred Pronouns, Experts Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

The military could seek to formally punish service members for refusing to use another service member’s preferred pronouns under existing policy, according to military experts.

A 2020 Equal Opportunity law opened the door for commanders to subject someone who refuses to affirm a transgender servicemember’s so-called gender identity to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for charges related to harassment, Capt. Thomas Wheatley, an assistant professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Such a move would likely infringe on a servicemember’s constitutional rights to uphold their conscience, but it might not prevent leaders from employing more subtle ways of disciplining service members. . .

The military “is right to want to protect the rights and welfare of its transgender service members. But it owes the same protection to those who share a different perspective on the issue, especially when that perspective is a deep-seated expression of personal conscience,” Wheatley told the DCNF.

None of the military’s rules explicitly prohibit so-called “misgendering,” when someone uses pronouns to describe a transgender person which do not correspond to the person’s new gender identity, Wheatley explained. However, existing guidance implies that using pronouns rejected by another person violates Military Equal Opportunity (MEO) regulations against sex-based harassment and discrimination. . .

Service members could conceivably be court-martialed for “refusing to use another person’s self-identified pronouns, even when their refusal stems from principled religious conviction,” Wheatley told the DCNF. “This law applies to service members at all times and in all locations, even when they’re off duty and in the privacy of their off-post residence.”

Pro-Rape Child Safety Officer for Google Was Just Fired…

/7 Comments/in , /by

Sometimes the trash takes itself out. Case in point: Dr. Kate S., a proud rape apologist who was part of Google’s “child safety” team, has just been shown the door. She made headlines for all the wrong reasons after a past tweet of hers went viral. In it, she chastised “Karens” for holding “men of color” responsible for rape. Yes, you heard that right. This disturbing tweet from the so-called Google “child safety” strategist left decent people absolutely floored. It’s a really frightening reminder of who’s been in charge of what we’re supposed to consider “safety” online.

Here’s what Dr. Kate S. had to say about “Karen” women who complain about being raped:

Country Pauses Transgender Medications for Minors

/3 Comments/in , /by

Scotland has paused all new prescriptions of transgender medications such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, the latest in a string of developments in Britain pumping the brakes on transgender medical services for minors.

Scotland’s only youth gender clinic, the Sandyford clinic in Glasgow, which is operated by Scotland’s National Health Service (NHS) made the announcement on Thursday.

New prescriptions for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones have been paused, although children already receiving these drugs will be able to remain on them, the clinic said in a statement. Teenagers must now be 18 before being prescribed cross-sex hormones, the clinic said.

“We are committed to providing the best possible clinical care for young people accessing and understand the distress that gender incongruence can cause,” the clinic said. “While this pause is in place, we will continue to give anyone who is referred into the Young People Gender Service the psychological support that they require while we review the pathways in line with the findings.” (Read more from “Country Pauses Transgender Medications for Minors” HERE)

Whistleblower: Gender Patients Begged to ‘Have Body Parts Put back On’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. . .[S]ome of the of the worst atrocities just now are coming to light, including the testimony from a whistleblower that patients of a children’s gender clinic were “begging to have body parts put back on.”

It is Fox News that reported on the comments from a children’s gender clinic whistleblower who appeared on a daytime television talk show.

The whistleblower, Jamie Reed, who used to work at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, wrote an expose last year calling such treatments “morally and medically appalling.” . . .

“A number of things. We started to see patients who were experiencing very significant medical harms being rushed to the emergency room with lacerations requiring stitches. We had patients contact us who were begging to have body parts put back on within months of having surgeries.”

She continued, “The thing that kept happening is every time I would raise concerns and ask about the protocols and ask about the guidelines – this is just how the industry works, if a child says they’re trans there’s no questioning it. We just say, ‘Yep, you’re trans, what would you like?'” (Read more from “Whistleblower: Gender Patients Begged to ‘Have Body Parts Put back On’” HERE)

Kids’ gender clinic whistleblower tells Dr. Phil regretful patients begged to ‘have body parts put back on’

By Fox News. A children’s gender clinic whistleblower on Thursday claimed to Dr. Phil that she saw regretful patients ask to have their removed body parts restored after operations. . .

Reed said that kids identifying as transgender has become 10 times more common and they are overwhelmingly young teenage women who wish to become men.

Girls, she argued, tend to be very attuned to the trends in their environment, particularly on social media and in their peer groups, to the point where girls in the same class would come in clusters all requesting procedures at the same time.

“They would come in, and they would almost have the exact same storyline, too, like they learned what to say from a video to explain, ‘Oh, no, really, I’ve felt this way from early childhood,’ but a lot of their parents couldn’t remember anything like that,” said Reed. . .

“I saw a young person who was begging to have their breasts put back on after having surgery. We were encouraged not to make a big deal out of it and definitely not to tell other families. I couldn’t continue to be silent on it,” she added about detransitioners.

Court Docs Show Trans Teen Arrested for Allegedly Planning Mass Shooting Fawned over Covenant Shooter

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender-identifying teenager who was taken into custody and charged for alleged plans to commit a mass shooting at a Maryland high school kept a “manifesto” in which she praised the Nashville mass shooter, fantasized about pedophilia, and voiced concerns about being misgendered after her crime, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Wire.

The thwarted shooter, an 18-year-old woman from Rockville who identifies as a man, was arrested on Wednesday by the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD), the county said in a news release, adding that the FBI notified the MCPD about a 129-page “manifesto” in which the teenager wrote about committing a school shooting, contemplated targeting an elementary school, and more.

The court documents obtained by The Daily Wire show disturbing examples from the “manifesto,” which the teenager claimed was fictional, but an MCPD officer said had mirrored actual events and was “based on reality with a plan of threats of mass violence.”

“I really want to be famous. Even infamous,” she wrote on one page. A second entry confesses to pedophilic thoughts, but says she chose not to act on them — “I sometimes think I’m a pedophile. I get turned on by little kids,” she wrote. In a third, the teenager mused about potential news stories about a shooting at a Rockville school.

Planet Fitness Has Been ‘Pretty Much Destroyed,’ Says Company Founder

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This comes after weeks of calls for boycotts of the brand after the company canceled the membership of a Planet Fitness gym goer after speaking out about a biological male in the women’s locker room.

Planet Fitness’s policy allows gym members to use the locker room associated with their gender identity. But this policy has led to a few high-profile cases of women feeling uncomfortable in Planet Fitness women’s locker rooms, and some women and children have reported abuse and sexual harassment at the facilities. Many of these incidents resulted in the women losing their membership, but an arrest was made in at least one instance…

[Founder and CEO Mike Grondahl stated,] “Planet Fitness was like another child for me. And I put my heart and soul into building that company and it’s been pretty much destroyed in, ya know, it’s lost all respect within the country within the last couple weeks,” he said. “There’s no common sense standing behind this.”

Grondahl told Libs of TikTok he didn’t approve of the policies or the response to them in recent weeks. Grondahl sold the company to private equity in November 2012 and lost control. Following the sale, he remained CEO until he was ousted after he reported that the chief administrative officer (CAO) and general counsel hired by the private equity firm had been found guilty of multiple charges over several years and abused minors on several occasions. In two instances, he was a teacher and was found guilty of abusing his students. The CAO left Planet Fitness in 2017.

“When we went public, the majority of the board knew that this lead attorney was a pedophile. It’s in the culture.” Grondahl said during the TikTok interview.

J.K. Rowling Rips Leftists, Celebrities After Medical Review Rejects Transing Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Famed Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling went on an extended X rant to blast the left for the harm it has done to children after the release of an important medical study in the U.K. that shows that her stance against widespread transgenderism was right all along.

Rowling was responding to the release of a report by Dr Hillary Cass that found that the entire concept underlying child transgender procedures is built on “shaky foundations” with little scientific evidence of their effectiveness. The study outright rejects puberty blockers, and decries how the far-left medical community has bullied those who question transgenderism.

The report into how the tax-funded NHS treats children who believe they are transgender calls for major changes in the way the U.K.’s medical system approaches transgenderism, and suggest major changes. For instance, the report says hormone drugs should no longer be given to anyone under age 18 and that the basis of ‘treatments’ given by the NHS have been based on practices with little “developmental rigor and transparency”.

“When conducting the review, I found that in gender medicine those pillars are built on shaky foundations,” Dr. Cass says in the much-anticipated report.

Rowling was furious, not because the report went against her own viewpoint, but because she has been so thoroughly excoriated by the left despite her being aligned with this report in the first place.

Tranny Sues Women-Only App Giggle for Denying Membership

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a legal battle unfolding in Australia, Roxanne Tickle a transgender ‘woman’, has initiated a lawsuit against the women-only social media app Giggle for Girls, alleging discrimination after being denied membership.

The app, created by Sall Grover with the intention of providing a female-only “safe space,” employs an AI-based gender verification process to prevent men from joining. Roxanne Tickle, identifying as a woman, attempted to apply for membership in 2021, but his access was revoked. Tickle’s lawyer, Georgina Costello, argued in the Federal Court in Sydney that Grover unlawfully discriminated against Tickle’s gender identity, asserting that Tickle perceives and presents himself as a woman.

Representing Giggle in the lawsuit, Bridie Nolan highlighted the app’s purpose as a refuge for women, aiming to combat “male online digital violence” such as harassment and stalking. Nolan contended that the app’s policies did not breach sex discrimination laws, as they are designed to foster equality between men and women in online spaces.

Tickle, who received a female designation on his birth certificate from the Australian government in 2019 following transition surgery, asserts that gender is not solely a biological construct but also influenced by social and psychological factors. Costello emphasized that while Tickle was assigned male at birth, he has transitioned to living as a woman.

The case has attracted attention from the Australian Human Rights Commission, with Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody providing submissions regarding the interpretation of relevant provisions of the Sex Discrimination Act. However, the commission clarified that it is not a party to the proceeding and has not opined on whether Tickle was subjected to discrimination.

College Association Bans Trans Athletes From Women’s Sports

/1 Comment/in , /by

A national college athletics association has banned biological males who claim to be females from competing in women’s sports, a win for women’s rights.

As the number of injuries inflicted and titles stolen by men competing in female sports and events continues to climb, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) made the right decision, becoming the first national college governing body to make it mandatory for athletes to compete based on their biological sex, according to CBS Sports.

NAIA president Jim Carr admitted to CBS Sports that there are “different opinions” about transgenders competing in women’s sports, but fortunately, his organization came down on the side of reality. “For us, we believed our first responsibility was to create fairness and competition in the NAIA,” Carr said, adding, “We also think it aligns with the reasons Title IX was created. You’re allowed to have separate but equal opportunities for women to compete.”

CBS Sports was highly disgruntled and virtuously indignant, refusing to state that the move prevents biological men from pretending to be women and thus from harming real women:

Athletes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) will only be allowed to compete in women’s sports if they were assigned the female gender at birth, the national small-college organization announced Monday.

The NAIA’s Council of Presidents approved the policy in a 20-0 vote Monday morning after a December survey indicated widespread support for the move. The association’s previous policy only applied to postseason competition. The new directive applies to all NAIA competitions.

The NAIA is a national athletic governing body for 249 mostly small colleges across the country that are not part of the NCAA’s three divisions of competition…athletes [must] compete according to assigned sex at birth.
