Sports Illustrated Features Transgender Model on Cover of Swimsuit Issue

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender models are becoming almost as popular as bikinis when it comes to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

German pop star Kim Petras, who had gender-transition surgery at age 16, was one of the four celebrities selected to appear on the rotating covers of the 2023 swimsuit edition, but the singer isn’t the first male-born figure to do so.

That title goes to Leyna Bloom, who appeared on the annual beach-fest’s front cover in 2021.

The other three cover models are actress Megan Fox, supermodel Brooks Nader, and 81-year-old lifestyle guru Martha Stewart, who made history as the oldest model in the history of the swimsuit issue.

“It’s definitely a scary time to be transgender in America, but there’s also so much more representation than there’s ever been, and there’s so many things on the bright side,” Ms. Petras told the magazine, which released its covers Monday.

Supreme Court Opinion Uses Female Pronouns to Refer to Transgender Woman

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a recent opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court used female pronouns to refer to a man who identifies as a woman.

The case pertains to a transgender woman from Guatemala who is seeking to remain in the U.S.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson delivered the high court’s opinion in the case, and she was joined by Justices John Roberts, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Justice Samuel Alito filed a concurring opinion, in which he was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.

“Petitioner Leon Santos-Zacaria (who goes by the name Estrella) fled her native Guatemala in her early teens. She has testified that she left that country, and fears returning, because she suffered physical harm and faced death threats as a transgender woman who is attracted to men,” Jackson wrote in the opinion, using female pronouns to refer to the man.

“Santos-Zacaria eventually sought refuge in the United States. Her first stay in the country was brief, and she was removed by immigration authorities in 2008. In 2018, she returned and was apprehended again by immigration authorities,” Jackson wrote. “At that point, Santos-Zacaria sought protection from removal, including withholding of removal based on the likelihood she would be persecuted in Guatemala.”

Wave of Blue States Become ‘Refuge’ for Child Transgender Surgeries and Drugs

/0 Comments/in , /by

A number of blue states have passed laws allowing children to receive transgender surgeries and drugs, often without parental knowledge or consent.

Many of the bills are designed to allow children to pursue such a medical route on their own, require insurance to cover it, and give legal shields to doctors who provide the services.

Both California and Minnesota advertised their child transition measures as the states becoming a “refuge” for patients and doctors.

“The Left is in denial that cross-sex hormones and experimental surgeries that remove healthy body parts are a danger to children and create irreversible physical and psychological harm,” Heritage Action for America Executive Director Jessica Anderson told the Washington Examiner. “Blue states like California, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Washington are passing bills that strip parents of their right to protect their children by allowing shelters and host homes to not contact parents about their runaway children with gender confusion.”

Vermont is the latest state, with Gov. Phil Scott (R-VT) signing a bill Wednesday. Scott became only the second Republican governor in the country to sign this kind of measure after Gov. Charlie Baker (R-MA) made a similar move last year. (Read more from “Wave of Blue States Become ‘Refuge’ for Child Transgender Surgeries and Drugs” HERE)

Florida Publix Refuses to Write ‘Trans’ on Customers’ Cake

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida bakery refused to write the word “trans” on a cake requested by two social workers who had hoped to bring the treat to an event they had organized for the local transgender community.

Dandelion Hill, co-founder of the Orlando-based non-profit Peer Support Space, was heading to the organization’s Trans Joy Event on April 26, and stopped at the Colonialtown Publix to pick up a cake for the celebration.

Hill, who is trans and uses they/them pronouns, asked if the bakery could write a simple, “wholesome” message in pink icing on the sheet cake: “Trans people deserve joy.” . . .

After waiting for what “felt like an eternity,” a manager from the bakery “comes back, looks me directly in the eyes and says, ‘I’m sorry we can’t write that. Publix is not allowed to take a stance on this issue,’” Hill said. . .

Numerous employees reiterated to them that there was nothing they could do, as it was company policy. (Read more from “Florida Publix Refuses to Write ‘Trans’ on Customers’ Cake” HERE)

Levi’s to Expand ‘Gender Fluid’ Clothing Line

/0 Comments/in , /by

The woke CEO of the iconic clothing brand Levi’s has watched the fallout from Bud Light’s partnership with trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney — and it seems he wants to follow suit.

On Wednesday, Levi’s CEO Chip Bergh, 65, attended Axios BFD, a “dealmaker summit” designed to bring together “the biggest influencers, disruptors and newsmakers in the deal-making world.” While there, he was asked about branding in light of Bud Light’s controversial “marketing stunt” with Mulvaney. “How do you market products in a world where people are more aware of their gender identities?” wondered Hope King of Axios.

Bergh’s response was surprising. Though Bud Light sales have cratered since Mulvaney promoted the beer in a couple of social media videos in early April, Bergh announced that Levi’s will continue to grow its small “gender fluid” clothing line to satisfy “consumer appetite.”

“We are building out slowly,” Bergh said. “It started with a small collection of gender neutral or gender fluid line — and there’s definitely consumer appetite for that. And we’re there for that.”

“We know that some women buy some men’s products and some men buy women’s products,” Bergh explained. “We know that that goes on. We’ve got the research and the data to show it. (Read more from “Levi’s to Expand ‘Gender Fluid’ Clothing Line” HERE)

Neo-Nazi Who Shot up Texas Mall Praised Transgender Terrorist Who Murdered Christians in Nashville

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 33-year-old Latino male who murdered several people in Texas on Saturday at the Allen Premium Outlets was an avowed neo-Nazi who praised the transgender terrorist who murdered several people at a Christian school in Nashville in late March.

The killer, whom The Daily Wire is not naming due to company policy about depriving mass killers of the notoriety they often seek, had a social media account on the Russian social media site Odnoklassniki. The account, which was first reported on by The New York Times and later identified by researchers at another online publication, appears to have been created in 2020. The Daily Wire reviewed his social media page which appeared to have been used more as a diary than anything else, as he apparently had no friends and received no engagement on any of his posts.

Initial reports that the suspect was a neo-Nazi and an incel were confirmed by strong evidence on the account. The killer shared photographs of himself that showed that he had a large Nazi swastika tattoo on his chest and a tattoo of SS Lightning Bolts on the side of his arm. He also shared photographs of SS Lightning Bolts and Nazi swastikas.

He shared photographs of Latinos who had a Nazi-themed wedding in Mexico, writing: “My kind of people.” He also shared photographs of a Mexican Nazi group that he also described as “My kind of people.”

The killer also shared a photograph of Josef Mengele, a doctor at the Auschwitz extermination camp who selected Jewish prisoners for execution in gas chambers and conducted scientific experiments on them. The killer described Mengele as his “hero.” (Read more from “Neo-Nazi Who Shot up Texas Mall Praised Transgender Terrorist Who Murdered Christians in Nashville” HERE)

Bud Light Faces New Boycott – Gay Bars Shun Anheuser-Busch Beer Brand for Not Supporting Dylan Mulvaney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bud Light is now facing boycotts from both sides of the political spectrum after teaming up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. . .

Following the backlash to the transgender partnership, Bud Light CEO Brendan Whitworth issued a milquetoast statement:

We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer. My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work and respect for one another.

Conservatives were not impressed by the statement, but neither was some of the LGBTQ community.

The 2Bears Tavern Group owns four “LGBTQIA+ establishments” in Chicago. The LGBTQ group proclaimed on Friday, “All 2Bears Tavern Group bars are discontinuing Anheuser-Busch InBev products as a result of the brewer’s anti-transgender actions and statements.” (Read more from “Bud Light Faces New Boycott – Gay Bars Shun Anheuser-Busch Beer Brand for Not Supporting Dylan Mulvaney” HERE)

Drag Queen on RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’ Accused of Homosexual Rape of Production Assistant After Crew Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

A drag queen star contestant of RuPaul’s “Drag Race” show was accused of raping a production assistant after a crew party in 2020.

The accusations were reported from a lawsuit against Darius Jeremy Pierce, a man who performs under the stage name Shangela.

The victim alleges that Pierce bought drinks for the crew at the party many times, including McGarrigle. He then allegedly invited McGarrigle back to his hotel room to help him pack for an early morning flight.

The lawsuit says McGarrigle fell asleep fully dressed in Pierce’s hotel room in Louisiana. When he awoke, he claims that his pants had been pulled down and Pierce was trying to penetrate him.

McGarrigle said that he yelled “no” in protest and tried to fight him off but was allegedly overpowered. (Read more from “Drag Queen on RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’ Accused of Homosexual Rape of Production Assistant After Crew Party” HERE)

Medical Center Accused of Performing Illegal ‘Gender Transitioning’ Surgeries on Children — Texas AG Launches Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Friday that his office had launched an investigation into Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin after allegations surfaced that the clinic illegally performs “gender transitioning” surgeries on children.

In 2021, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services declared that gender surgeries on minors are “child abuse.” Last year, Paxton issued an opinion that “so-called sex-change” surgeries and puberty blockers for children constitute child abuse under Texas law.

Paxton shared the announcement on Twitter, writing, “I am launching an investigation into Dell Children’s Medical Center regarding gender transitioning of minors. Gender transitioning minors is child abuse, and child abuse will not be tolerated.”

As part of the investigation, Paxton issued a Request to Examine to the medical center, which requires the institution to answer for the allegations to determine if any laws were violated.

Paxton said, “It is now alarmingly common for fringe activists to use their positions in medicine and health care to force experimental, life-altering procedures onto children.” (Read more from “Medical Center Accused of Performing Illegal ‘Gender Transitioning’ Surgeries on Children — Texas AG Launches Investigation” HERE)

Anthropologie, a famous women’s clothing store, had customers so upset over their recent advertisement featuring male modeling dresses the brand had to turn off commenting on their social media posts.

In one of the videos, a muscular man with a shaved haircut twirled around in a dress, exposing his underwear.

Prominent figures reacted harshly to the posts, condemning the brand’s progressive move to feature a man in women’s clothes.
