World Athletics Bans Transgender Athletes From Competing in Female World Ranking Events

/0 Comments/in , /by

The World Athletics Council announced on Thursday that it will not allow transgender athletes to compete against women in female World Rankings competitions.

The move, which goes into effect next week, will ban “male-to-female transgender athletes who have been through male puberty.”

“Decisions are always difficult when they involve conflicting needs and rights between different groups, but we continue to take the view that we must maintain fairness for female athletes above all other considerations,” said World Athletics President Sebastian Coe. “We will be guided in this by the science around physical performance and male advantage which will inevitably develop over the coming years. As more evidence becomes available, we will review our position, but we believe the integrity of the female category in athletics is paramount.” (Read more from “World Athletics Bans Transgender Athletes From Competing in Female World Ranking Events” HERE)

Mainstream Media Gives ‘Woman of the Year’ Honor to Transgender Democrat

/0 Comments/in , /by

USA Today honored a biological male Democratic lawmaker who identifies as a transgender woman on its annual “Women of the Year” list.

Democratic state Rep. Leigh Finke is the first “openly transgender” person to be elected and serve in Minnesota’s state legislature. Late last week, Finke was selected as the state’s nominee for the “Women of the Year” list. The list began in 2022 as a continuation of “Women of the Century,” which celebrated 100 years of women having the right to vote.

“It’s a dramatic understatement to say that I am beyond honored to see my name among this list of honorees,” Finke wrote on Twitter. . .

Last year, Townhall covered how USA Today honored Dr. Rachel Levine , the U.S. assistant secretary for health, on the same list. Levine, a four-star admiral, was born a biological male, Richard Levine, and transitioned to live as a female. Previously, Levine was secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Pentagon Doctors Claim 7-Year-Olds Can Make Decisions to Be Injected With Hormones, Puberty Suppressants

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health providers at U.S. military bases, some of whom are involved in treating military-connected minors, blasted the idea of waiting before injecting kids diagnosed with gender dysphoria with puberty blockers and hormones.

The DoD providers said in the March edition of the American Journal of Public Health that the only pathway for children of military members who present with gender dysphoria symptoms is to immediately move towards “gender-affirming health care, such as puberty suppression and affirming hormones.”

The doctors said that on the basis of “human rights,” “youths… have an inherent ability and right to consent to gender-affirming therapy.”

They went so far as to claim 7-year-olds can make their own medical decisions.

The authors – David A. Klein, Thomas Baxter, Noelle S. Larson as well as clinical psychologist, Natasha A. Schvey, PhD – demanded the military train all of its providers on their ideas on gender medical interventions for minors, despite acknowledging that 53% of military-affiliated physicians in the Department of Defense health system indicated they would refuse to prescribe hormones regardless of any training.

Biological Man Caught in Women’s YMCA Locker Room Doubles Down on Comparing Self to Lynching Victim

/0 Comments/in , /by

Christynne Wood, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, has once again compared objections to male use of female changing facilities to the lynching of Emmett Till.

A 17-year-old girl allegedly saw Wood naked in a women’s YMCA locker room in December, and her complaint sparked protests over the institution’s policy of allowing transgender people to use facilities according to their gender identity. Wood described the experience in a Sunday op-ed in the San Diego Union-Tribune, comparing it to the 1955 lynching of 15-year-old Emmett Till, who was killed by a mob after a white woman accused him of inappropriate behavior.

“Please understand that the words of a white girl are taken so seriously by our society that they have led to the beating and lynching of people of color, such as Emmett Till in 1955, and this reality is always in the mind of people of color,” Wood wrote. . .

“I don’t know what’s in the mind of that child,” Wood told the Times of San Diego. “So there’s a movie out right now about how that kind of a lie and hysteria can lead to tragedy … The movie’s called ‘Till’ about Emmett Till. The lies of a person got that child beat to death and that’s just the kind of group [here] that would love to pull a stunt like that.”

Rebecca Phillips, the 17-year old girl who had reportedly seen Wood naked in the women’s facilities, said she was showering at the YMCA when she saw a naked male in the women’s locker room.

Reddit User Asks if He Was Wrong to Demand His ‘Conservative’ Father Respect His New Stepson’s ‘Pronouns’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man has taken to Reddit’s AITA (“Am I the A—–e”) community to ask if he’s wrong for making a demand of his own father regarding gender pronouns.

In a post titled, “AITA for demanding my father respect my stepson’s pronouns?” a Redditor who goes by the name “Dad-that-stepped-up” wrote that he recently married an “absolutely wonderful woman” — and in the process, gained “an even more wonderful son.”

His stepson “Cole” — the Redditor said he changed the child’s name for the post — identifies as “non-binary,” the man said and uses the “they/he pronouns.”

The Redditor wrote that he himself “of course [has] no issue with this” and supports his new son fully, as does the boy’s mother and “most of the family.”

He continued, “The past few months have been spent introducing Cole to my side of the family with all being very welcoming to him.” (Read more from “Reddit User Asks if He Was Wrong to Demand His ‘Conservative’ Father Respect His New Stepson’s ‘Pronouns'” HERE)

‘Mutilating Children for Profit’: Teen Sues Doctors Over Breast-Removal Surgery at Age 13

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California teenager has started to sue the doctors who at age 13 cut off her breasts in a medical gender change she now bitterly regrets, in America’s latest blockbuster trans lawsuit.

The 18-year-old, who is referred to as Layla Jane, says she should never have been put through the ‘torment’ of testosterone hormones at age 12 and puberty blockers and surgery the next year. . .

‘I don’t think I should have been allowed to change my sex before I could legally consent to have sex,’ Layla said on Fox News.

‘I don’t think I’m better off for the experience, and I think transition just completely added fuel to the fire that was my pre-existing conditions.’

According to legal papers, Layla experienced moodiness, anxiety, gender confusion and anger issues as a child. At age 11 learned about radical transgender ideology and went online to learn more about the new trend.

Transgender, Pro-Fat Doctor Is Furious at ‘4 Thin White Rich Able Bodied Cisgender Men’ Behind ‘The Whale’ Movie After It Wins Oscar Awards

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender, U.K. doctor known for being a fatness advocate expressed outrage that thin people were being celebrated for “The Whale” movie at the Oscar awards ceremony on Sunday. . .

Dr. Asher Larmie, who also identifies as non-binary, unleashed a furious tirade on Twitter over the fatphobic incident.

“Once again, just a reminder that the Whale was written by, directed by, and produced by 4 thin white rich able bodied cisgender men. Oh, and check out its “fat” star who was celebrated and honoured at the Oscars last night. What a f***ing joke,” Larmie tweeted with a photo of the movie’s lead, Brendan Fraser.

“Are we able to wrap our heads around this one yet folks? Someone won an Oscar for making Brendan Fraser (a currently straight sized man) look FAT. No one else finds this disturbing ffs?” Larmie added in a third tweet.

The movie has been celebrated as a career comeback for Fraser after he left the industry over sexual harassment that he faced from a movie executive. A video of his fans giving him a standing ovation was circulated widely as a touching and emotional moment but excoriated by fat advocates for its inherent problematic fatphobia.

DeSantis Defends Ban on ‘Mutilation of Minors’ After Biden Rips Florida’s ‘Cruel’ Trans Policies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came out swinging after President Biden blasted Florida’s initiatives on transgender youth as “cruel” and “close to sinful.”

“It is not ‘sinful’ to prohibit the mutilation of minors,” the Republican governor said in a Tuesday tweet. “It is not acceptable for the federal government to mandate that procedures like sex change operations be allowed for kids.”

Mr. Biden took a shot at Florida’s recent initiatives on transgender youth in an interview Monday with “The Daily Show” guest host Kal Penn, an actor and former Obama White House staffer.

“Transgender kids is a really hard thing,” Mr. Biden said. “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. I mean, it’s just terrible what they’re doing.”

Mr. Biden did not specify a particular policy, but Florida’s boards of medicine and osteopathic medicine adopted rules last month banning minors from accessing gender-transition drugs and surgeries over the objections of Democrats and LGBTQ advocates.

Girls Basketball Team That Refused to Play Against a Transgender Athlete Banned From Sporting Events

/0 Comments/in , /by

A private Christian school in Vermont that forfeited a girls’ basketball game against a team with a biological male “transgender” player has been banned from participating in upcoming sporting events.

The Vermont Principals’ Association, which oversees school sporting events, announced on Monday that Mid Vermont Christian School would be ineligible to participate in sporting events and other activities done through the organization.

“The VPA again reiterates its ongoing support of transgender student-athletes as not only a part of building an inclusive community for each student to grow and thrive, but also as a clear expectation by Vermont state law(s) in the Agency of Education Best Practices, and in VPA Policy regarding transgender student athletes,” the announcement said.

Furthermore, the announcement included the VPA policy on “gender identity,” which is when a person feels like their gender does not align with their biological sex. (Read more from “Girls Basketball Team That Refused to Play Against a Transgender Athlete Banned From Sporting Events” HERE)
