World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The controversial winner of the World’s Strongest Woman competition was stripped of her title Tuesday after organizers claimed the hulking American never told them she was born a man.

Jammie Booker was disqualified just days after she destroyed the competition at the Official Strongman Games World Championship in Arlington, Texas, over the weekend.

Organizers said Booker, from Philadelphia, violated the contest’s rules, which clearly stipulate that athletes must compete in the category that aligns with their biological sex at birth.

“It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” organizers said in a social media statement announcing the decision.

“Official Strongman officials were unaware of this fact ahead of the competition and we have been urgently investigating since being informed.” (Read more from “World’s Strongest Woman Winner Stripped of Title After Organizers Discovered She Was Born a Man” HERE)

Bishops Vote To Prohibit Trans Surgeries And Hormone Treatment In Catholic Hospitals

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Catholic bishops voted to prohibit transgender surgeries and the use of cross-sex hormones in Catholic hospitals, in a show of solidarity with Catholic physicians and medical groups who have advocated for an end to the procedures for more than a decade.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) met Nov. 11-13 in Baltimore, Maryland, for their biannual plenary assembly, in which bishops, individuals, and organizations determine and discuss church policy. On Nov. 12, bishops overwhelmingly voted to approve updates to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs), including the prohibition of transgender surgical and hormonal manipulation.

The vote is significant, as more than one in seven patients are served in Catholic hospitals daily. Catholic health facilities serve patients in all 50 states, overseeing more than 600 hospitals and 1600 other health care facilities.

The Catholic Medical Association (CMA) has raised concerns over the dangers of transgender interventions for at least 20 years, with significantly increased attention over the past decade, said Dr. Tim Millea, CMA health care policy chairman.

In a 2016 publication, the CMA highlighted research conducted by Dr. Michelle Cretella, a CMA member and president of the American College of Pediatricians, who had specialized in adolescent mental and sexual health for years and witnessed the damage done by physicians experimenting on gender-confused youth. At the time, Cretella was supporting parent groups fighting for female- or male-only bathrooms and locker rooms in schools.

NFL’s First Transgender Cheerleader Says Panthers Fired Him Because He Is Trans

/0 Comments/in , /by

The NFL’s first transgender cheerleader, Justine Lindsay, claims he was fired by the Carolina Panthers just because he is a trans person.

“I was cut because I’m trans,” Lindsay claimed in an Instagram Live video, according to Blavity. “I don’t wanna hear nobody saying ‘She didn’t wanna come back.’ Why the hell would I not wanna come back to an organization that I’ve been a part of for three years?”

Lindsay says he is “devastated,” “stung,” and “hurt” by the firing, but is not necessarily attacking the Panthers. . .

Lindsay joined the TopCats cheer squad in 2022 and spent three seasons with them. But earlier this year, the cheerleader and trans trendsetter said he would not be returning next season. (Read more from “NFL’s First Transgender Cheerleader Says Panthers Fired Him Because He Is Trans” HERE)

New Jersey Korean Spa Forced to Allow Trans Women in Female Nude Section After Being Sued

/0 Comments/in , /by

A popular Korean spa in New Jersey, where nudity is compulsory, will now let transgender women use the female-only section — even if they have male genitals — after being slapped with a lawsuit.

King Spa in Palisades Park recently changed its policies after it was sued by a trans woman for refusing to let [him] use the female facilities — despite [him] still having male anatomy, according to court documents obtained by The Post.

Under the change, the spa’s policy now clearly states that any guest may use the locker room that aligns with the gender identity displayed on their government- or state-issued photo ID.

If any spa-goer is uncomfortable with sharing facilities with a trans person who may have different genitalia from them, the policy states the customer can either request a private spa or give up use of the communal facilities going forward.

The wellness facility, which models itself after the traditional Korean spa known as a jimjilbang, requires men and women to be segregated in certain areas where clothing and any form of covering is banned.

New Zealand bans puberty blockers for transgender minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

New Zealand health officials announced Wednesday that new prescriptions for puberty blockers will no longer be issued to children identifying as transgender.

Doctors will stop prescribing the gender-affirming medication — gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues — to minors starting Dec. 19, after the health ministry cited a lack of “high-quality evidence that demonstrates the benefits or risks,” Health Minister Simeon Brown said.

Existing patients can still access the medication for gender dysphoria or other conditions, such as early-onset puberty, endometriosis, and prostate cancer.

Officials said 113 people were using puberty blockers in 2023 — down from 140 in 2021.

Hormone blockers can pause puberty and are occasionally used to treat children with gender dysphoria.

Critics slammed the decision, warning the ban will severely impact transgender and gender-diverse youth, arguing medical decisions should be left to the individuals doctor. (Read more from “New Zealand bans puberty blockers for transgender minors” HERE)

Liberal Judges Rule Powerlifting Ban on Male Athletes in Women’s Division ‘Discriminatory’

/5 Comments/in , , /by

In a decision drawing sharp criticism from conservatives and women’s sports advocates, the Minnesota Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that USA Powerlifting discriminated against a biological male athlete identifying as female by barring him from competing in the women’s division.

The unanimous ruling — issued by a seven-member bench composed entirely of Democrat-appointed justices — sided with transgender athlete JayCee Cooper, who sued USA Powerlifting in 2021 under Minnesota’s Human Rights Act after being rejected from women’s competition in 2018.

The decision reignites the national debate over whether biological males should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, with critics saying the ruling undermines decades of progress in protecting fair competition for female athletes.

“At some point, we are going to have to defend the biology and stand on women being a protected class, and it might as well start in Minnesota,”
— Former USA Powerlifting President Larry Maile

USA Powerlifting has long maintained that male physiology provides an undeniable strength advantage in powerlifting, where muscle mass, testosterone levels, and bone density are directly tied to athletic performance. Despite this, the Minnesota court declared the organization’s exclusion of Cooper “discriminatory,” though it sent the case back to a lower court to determine whether “fair competition” constitutes a legitimate business defense.

Cooper’s attorneys at the activist group Gender Justice celebrated the ruling as a “historic victory.”

“This ruling sends a clear and powerful message: transgender people have a right to enjoy public spaces in Minnesota like sporting events,” said Jess Braverman, legal director at Gender Justice.

Their message comes at the expense of biological women, whose opportunities and records are being eroded by the inclusion of male competitors.

Republican Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth blasted the ruling as “another setback in the fight to protect girls’ sports,” vowing that GOP lawmakers will move to amend the state’s human rights laws in 2026 to clarify gender-based athletic protections.

Meanwhile, USA Powerlifting’s legal team says it will continue fighting to preserve fair competition based on biological sex, not gender identity.

“We have a compelling case to make on our inability to provide fair competition for our women athletes if USAPL is forced to include those born with male physiology,” said USA Powerlifting attorney Ansis Viksnins.

Trans Swimmer Banned for 5 Years After Gender Test Refusal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender swimmer Ana Caldas has received a five-year ban and was stripped of all competition results between June 2022 and October 2024 by World Aquatics for allegedly refusing to take a gender verification test.

The 47-year-old Caldas, who goes by Hannah, explained that they feel it is “not medically necessary” to undergo costly chromosomal testing that is not covered by their insurance — and ultimately accepted the punishment. . .

“No US state requires genetic tests for recreational sports events like these. Not even US Masters Swimming, the national governing body for recreational adult swimming in the US, demands this for any of its events.”

The gender verification screening reportedly is part of World Aquatics’ investigation into Caldas’ eligibility, which stemmed from an investigation by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton into US Masters Swimming earlier this year.

“I understand and accept the consequences,” Caldas said. “But a five-year suspension is the price I have to pay to protect my most intimate medical information.

Report: Transgender Americans to ‘Flee the Country’ as Trump Declared ‘Most Anti-LGBTQ+ President in History’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Transgender Americans are preparing to leave the United States of America, believing that President Donald Trump is the “most anti-LGBTQ+ president in history.”

Vox reported that during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, the rhetoric against “radical gender ideology” and “transgender insanity” grew “more hostile.”

The outlet noted, “A frequently-run Trump television ad claimed that ‘Kamala is for they/them. Trump is for you.’ And as his second term has progressed, Trump’s attacks on transgender rights have become increasingly virulent.”

Katie Sosin, who reports on LGBTQ+ issues for The 19th, spoke to Vox about the Trump administration’s policies:

Trump is generally viewed as the most anti-LGBTQ+ president in history, and a lot of that has to do with his approach to transgender rights. When he first got into office in 2017, there were still some questions about how he was going to approach LGBTQ+ issues, and he made a number of anti-trans moves in his first term. But this time, he really campaigned on anti-trans issues, and he’s made them a staple of his administration.
…

We have him limiting health care access specifically for trans youth and revoking federal funding for medical providers that offer it. We have the reinstatement of the transgender military ban. And then, denying transgender people passports.

I Searched For Stories Of Trans Contagion. Google Lectured Me With False Propaganda

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are a plethora of stories of children being pressured into adopting transgender personalities, but don’t bother using Google to search for them. I tried, and the search engine spat out unsolicited propaganda and falsehoods about children and transgender identity.

I searched for testimonies from young people who adopted transgender identities “because it was cool” — like the story of Ash Eskridge, a young woman who became convinced she was a boy after watching social media influencers promote transgenderism.

But Google’s AI tool brushes off the idea that transgender identities are often a social contagion, despite evidence to the contrary. A 2018 study from Brown University — which was quickly repressed after outrage from transgender ideologues — found that 87 percent of the children in question “became gender dysphoric after friends did, after increasing their time online, or both,” as my colleague Joy Pullmann reported at the time. The study included examples of friend groups all adopting transgender identities together, and of kids being rewarded for transgender identities with social incentives like popularity and praise. Another study, by researchers at Virginia Tech in 2023, found girls who adopted transgender identities were “more likely to be accepted by peers.”

The search engine would have you believe that children are not just capable of arbitrarily choosing their sex but of doing so before they graduate from diapers. “Gender identity typically solidifies between ages 3 and 4,” the AI overview claims. The hard scientific proof that your toddler’s biology is actually backwards, it says, can be a “girl playing with trucks or a boy preferring dolls.” (Read more from “I Searched For Stories Of Trans Contagion.

Democrats Seek Funding for Male Prostitute Cooking Classes, African Pride Parade, Nepali Transgenders, and More

/7 Comments/in , , /by

Thanks to DOGE, Americans spent the beginning of this year learning the obscene ways the government wastes their tax dollars. Many of the examples were jaw-dropping. More emerged last week.

John Kennedy highlighted a series of Democrats’ proposed foreign aid initiatives during a speech on the Senate floor on Friday, including using millions of dollars for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia, transgender programs in Nepal, LGBTQ activities in the Western Balkans and Uganda, cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti, electric buses in Rwanda, and a pride parade in Lesotho. We promise each of those is real.

Republicans cut funding for the above programs after Donald Trump reclaimed the presidency. Democrats’ current proposal to end the government shutdown would bring it back. We think we speak for this newsletter’s readers when we say the GOP should not let that happen. If coastal liberals want to cut checks for Zambian foreskin removal, then good for them. They shouldn’t force the rest of the country to do the same. (Read more from “Democrats Seek Funding for Male Prostitute Cooking Classes, African Pride Parade, Nepali Transgenders, and More” HERE)
