MULTI-GENDER BATHROOM? Parents Outraged Over High School’s New Layout

/1 Comment/in , , /by

When students return to Christiansburg High School for classes on Wednesday, they’ll find at least one large “open plan” gender-neutral and multiple-stall bathroom.

Parents are raising the alarm.

“I would have been mortified at that age,” Alecia Vaught, 49, who has two grandchildren at the southwestern Virginia school, told The Daily Signal about the bathroom situation.

The Daily Signal obtained photos of signs with symbols depicting a woman, a man, a half-man/half-woman, and a wheelchair. While the individual stalls have higher walls to increase privacy, the gender-neutral open concept means that teen boys and girls will share a handwashing space in view from the hallway.

While the architect in charge of the renovation plans defended the open bathroom as an attempt to prevent bullying and certain illicit activities, parents raised privacy concerns.

A Facebook user posted a photo of the bathroom in a Christiansburg High School Alumni group. (Read more from “MULTI-GENDER BATHROOM? Parents Outraged Over High School’s New Layout” HERE)

Transgender Sex Offender Escapes Prosecution After Attempted Kidnapping at Elementary School

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A transgender registered sex offender accused of trying to kidnap an 11-year-old boy from a Colorado schoolyard will avoid prosecution, thanks to a controversial state law that critics say leaves dangerous offenders back on the streets.

Solomon Galligan — who now identifies as “Carmen” — was deemed mentally incompetent after the April 2024 incident at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora. Prosecutors say Galligan sprinted toward children during recess, grabbed one boy, and lost his grip only after tripping on a white blanket. Chilling surveillance footage reportedly captured the moment students screamed “Stranger danger!” and scattered.

Doctors concluded Galligan could not be “restored” to competency, and under a 2024 amendment to Colorado’s competency law, the judge had no choice but to dismiss the charges. Galligan’s long criminal history includes a 2011 sex offense conviction and repeated run-ins with the law.

“Because the criminal case had to be dismissed, that’s not something we have any control over anymore,” said Ryan Brackley, assistant district attorney for Colorado’s 18th Judicial District. “We find the statute deficient… We want to avoid a revolving door through the criminal and civil justice systems without meaningful, secure mental health treatment.”

Galligan’s attorney criticized Colorado’s handling of mentally ill offenders, calling the system “broken.” Galligan’s sister, Sarah, said her brother has battled schizophrenia and bipolar disorder since age 16, and warned that the community is unsafe with him at large.

Victim Dante White said his son has suffered lasting trauma from the attempted abduction. “My son wouldn’t even go upstairs to brush his teeth unless I was right there with him. That’s not a way to live,” he told The New York Post.

Galligan is currently in a treatment facility, and prosecutors say the only way for release would be if a licensed professional determines Galligan is no longer a danger. Critics argue that Colorado’s mental health system — plagued by a shortage of beds — risks creating more victims.

Aurora Police Association President David Exstrom called the outcome a failure. “My heart breaks for the kids… And to see he wasn’t held accountable — what’s the long-term impact on their trust in police and the judicial system?”

Fashion Model Learning to Be a Man after Being Pushed to Transition at Age 15: ‘I Was Really Crazy on the Hormones’

In Catholic churches across Manhattan and Brooklyn, Salomé captivated the congregation, uplifting the faithful with her soulful singing and skilled organ playing. The New York Archdiocese Organist Training Program enrollee’s musical gifts had her booking gigs across the city.

But for years, Salomé’s bashful smile and angelic voice concealed a secret — one not even known in the shadows of the confessional. She was a he; Salomé was born Miles.

His story is one that’s becoming all too familiar: A child with unconventional interests, swayed by strange ideologies on the Internet, is hustled by doctors into a life of medical dependency — only to find himself questioning everything years later.

“They very quickly put me on hormones without really any discernment. Looking back, if I were a doctor, I would think this is a much larger decision than the kid thinks that it is,” he tells The Post. . .

At 15, Yardley found himself a patient in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s gender clinic. He’d been late to start puberty and had interests in singing and dancing. Classmates began to ask if he was gay or a girl. He’d never heard of transgenderism. “I had not questioned my own identity before other people started asking me questions and putting that on me,” he says.

After only his second appointment, a Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia doctor put Yardley on androgen blockers and later estrogen therapy, calling him “the perfect example” of a transgender child.

‘RETALIATION’: Whistleblower Who Exposed Transgender ‘Medicine’ Targeted by FBI, Lost Her Job

/1 Comment/in , /by

Vanessa Sivadge lost her job at a Texas hospital and faced questioning from the FBI after speaking out about experimental transgender “treatments” on children.

She told “The Daily Signal Podcast” how her faith motivated her to speak out and why she feared no one else shared her concerns, despite the fact that so-called “gender-affirming care” violated not just her faith but her medical ethics, as well.

“I felt so alone,” Sivadge said. “I felt like I was the only one in this hospital system that believed what I believed. And I was so overwhelmed and felt so outnumbered.”

The medical industry had almost uniformly embraced the idea that if a boy or a girl repeatedly and consistently said he or she identified as the opposite sex, it is healthy—lifesaving, even—to put that person on experimental drugs to alter internal chemistry and make him or her appear like the opposite sex.

Studies have revealed serious side effects from so-called “puberty blockers” and cross-sex hormones (like estrogen for men), and these interventions often lead to sterilizing surgeries that involve removing entire organs and replacing them with facsimiles of the opposite sex’s organs. Even though some studies suggest that “puberty blockers” increase thoughts of suicide among patients, doctors and activists claim that children will commit suicide if they are not encouraged to take these drugs.

Republican Congressman Refuses to Say Why He Called Male Colleague a ‘Lady’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Representative Steve Womack referred to his male colleague, who dresses as a woman, as a “gentlelady from Delaware” during Wednesday’s Big Beautiful Bill hearing, according to a New York Times update.

Womack did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment on why he chose to address “Sarah” (Tim) McBride as if he were a woman, whether Womack believes McBride is a woman, and if Womack always uses biologically false terms when asked to do so by people with gender dysphoria.

The Arkansas representative says that he is “committed to ensuring that the voices of his constituents are represented,” but it is unclear how his addressing McBride as a “lady” represents a state that is a leader in opposing LGBT ideology.

‘Trans’ Inmate Back In Male Prison Years After Allegedly Raping Female Cellmate

/0 Comments/in , /by

A violent “transgender” male prisoner was quietly transferred back to a men’s prison in June, years after he was accused of sexually assaulting his female cellmate in a women’s prison.

Christopher Scott Williams, who is serving a 28-year sentence for first degree assault, was first denied transfer to a women’s prison in November 2019 due to his history of violence against women, according to records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. His request to be housed with women was approved in late 2021, documents show, and three months later he allegedly sexually assaulted his female cellmate, Mozzy Clark, according to a lawsuit she filed against the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC).

Clark alleges the state’s actions of placing a “male sexual predator” into her cell and then ignoring her “complaints of sexual harassment and assault” violated several of her constitutional rights, including her right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment and exercise free speech, the lawsuit says.

“Based on Williams’ past history of violence and the explicit recommendation that he not be transferred to a women’s facility it was not only reasonably foreseeable but extremely likely that locking him in a small cell with a female inmate would have disastrous consequences, as it did in this case,” David Pivtorak, Clark’s lawyer, told the DCNF.

Williams was transferred back to a male prison on June 20, 2025, according to the Washington DOC, which lists his gender as female on its website. (Read more from “‘Trans’ Inmate Back In Male Prison Years After Allegedly Raping Female Cellmate” HERE)

UPenn to Apologize for Allowing Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas to Compete on Women’s Team

/0 Comments/in , /by

The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) has agreed to apologize for allowing infamous transgender college swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on the women’s team, resolving Title IX violations.

In a press release on Tuesday, the Department of Education announced that the university had entered into a “Resolution Agreement to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).”

The Department of Education explained that UPenn would “restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories.”

UPenn will also “send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer,” and “issue a public statement” to the university’s community explaining that it will “comply with Title IX” and will not be allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.

“As a former UPenn swimmer who had to compete against and share a locker room with a male athlete, I am deeply grateful to the Trump Administration for refusing to back down on protecting women and girls and restoring our rightful accolades,” former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan said in a statement. “I am also pleased that my alma mater has finally agreed to take not only the lawful path, but the honorable one.” (Read more from “UPenn to Apologize for Allowing Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas to Compete on Women’s Team” HERE)

‘Hell Is Not Enough for You’: SCOTUS Decision on Child Sex Changes Sparks Trans Infighting

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender influencer started pointing fingers at other members of the community regarding the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling Wednesday, which upheld Tennessee’s law banning child sex change procedures.

Trans woman Brianna Wu, who formerly ran for election to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Massachusetts in 2020, said it’s the “legal precedent that will allow red states to ban HRT for adults.”

Wu aimed his criticism at “the narcissists” at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which represented the plaintiff, and more specifically at Chase Strangio, a transgender person who served as the lead attorney representing the plaintiffs of United States v. Skrmetti.

Wu said that Strangio was worse for the trans movement than Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who has been openly critical of the trans ideology, “because she’s not actively laying the legal framework that hurts actual transsexuals.”

Wu said Strangio was “destroying” transgender rights with her “arrogance in your extreme gender ideology.”

Federal Court Says Christian-Owned, Women-Only Korean Spa Must Allow Trans-Identifying Males

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal appeals court ruled against a Christian-owned traditional Korean spa in Washington, stating that the women-only business must allow the patronage of transgender-identifying males.

The owners of Olympus Spa, a women-only business with locations in Lynnwood and Tacoma, sued the state in 2023, claiming their First Amendment rights would be violated if they were forced to allow transgender-identifying males to enter, MyNorthwest reported Thursday. The spa only allows “biological women,” and excludes men and preoperative transgender-identifying males (those who have not undergone sex change surgeries).

The Washington State Human Rights Commission argued that the spa’s policy violated Washington’s Law Against Discrimination, which has been broadly interpreted to include “gender expression and identity.” The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed with the commission, stating that the state did not violate the spa’s rights to freedom of religion, speech, and association.

“The spa’s religious expression was only incidentally burdened,” Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote in the majority opinion, claiming that limits on the spa owner’s free speech were necessary to eliminate discrimination.

“We are not unmindful of the concerns and beliefs raised by the Spa. Indeed, the Spa may have other avenues to challenge the enforcement action. But whatever recourse it may have, that relief cannot come from the First Amendment,” she added.

In Attempt to Insult Top Women’s Sports Defender, Simone Biles Confirms Difference in the Sexes

/0 Comments/in , /by

The most decorated American Olympic gymnast in history, Simone Biles, may have bit off more than she could chew over the weekend when she hypocritically took aim at the woman touting the same kind of sex-specific protections that paved the way for her domination on the mat, beam, and vault.

The fallout started when Biles used her Friday night to snipe at prominent women’s sports defender Riley Gaines as a “bully.” Biles was upset that Gaines noticed the Minnesota State High School League turned off the comments on a post celebrating the victory of a softball team whose “star player is a boy.”

“[B]ully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male,” Biles wrote on X, tagging Gaines. . .

Bodyshaming Gaines, a fit 5’ 7” female, by comparing her physique to a male’s is not simply a low blow on Biles’ part. It’s an accidental yet important admission to the indisputable fact that men and women are biologically different.

As Biles’ post suggests, the widely recognized distinctions between the sexes go well beyond the XX and XY chromosomes in DNA. Men, on average, tend to be taller, heavier, and more muscular than women. This is especially true of male athletes, who the American College of Sports Medicine recognize as “stronger, more powerful, and faster than females of similar age and training status.” (Read more from “In Attempt to Insult Top Women’s Sports Defender, Simone Biles Confirms Difference in the Sexes” HERE)
