University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has been nominated for the NCAA’s Woman of the Year Award.

Thomas is one of 577 athletes nominated for the award, according to a release from the NCAA.

“Established in 1991, the award recognizes female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers,” the release read.

“As 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the NCAA Woman of the Year program is an important opportunity to honor and reflect on the impact of women on intercollegiate sports.” . . .

Thomas, who swam for the men’s swimming team for three years in NCAA Division I competition, got first place in the women’s 500-yard NCAA championship in March. (Read more from “Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas Nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Award” HERE)

Trans Woman Returns to Life as Man and Takes Aim at the ‘Activist’ Doctor Who Turned His Life Upside Down

/0 Comments/in , /by

After living nearly a decade of his life as a transgender woman named Brianna, Brian Wagoner ultimately came to realize his transition had been a mistake. In February, the 31-year-old made the decision to detransition back to his biological gender and live once again as a man.

“It was basically like medical professionals cheering on a girl with bulimia for puking up her lunch when her ribs are already poking out,” he said of the estrogen treatment he was put on for years. “There’s a lot of money to be made by doctors here. They see the dollar signs, and in the end, money talks.”

Wagoner reached out to The Post after reading an article in June that profiled two young women who regretted transitioning to men in their teens. One of those detransitioners, Chloe Cole, who had a double mastectomy, is now campaigning for a Florida rule that will block Medicaid funds from paying for medical interventions in cases like hers. . .

As a closeted teen, Wagoner began dabbling in drugs, and by the time he transferred from a junior college to the University of La Verne in California to study sociology at age 20, he said, he was regularly using marijuana, ecstasy, Adderall and cocaine that he got from friends and dealers at his school. He said he began experiencing withdrawal, was staying up for days on end, and even contemplated suicide. . .

Desperate for a lifeline, in early 2012, he started searching for information about the transgender movement on YouTube and found a clinical social worker based in Los Angeles who made videos about trans people. He made an appointment to see her. During their first in-person session, he said, she immediately told him he could be transgender.

Biden Admin Drops $1.5 Million on ‘Transgender Programming’ for Inmates

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration spent nearly $1.5 million to produce a “transgender programming curriculum” for inmates held in the nation’s 122 federal prisons.

The Justice Department disbursed the funds for a consulting firm to develop a program to help transgender inmates “manage identity concerns during incarceration” and advocate for their “sexual health and safety,” according to a government summary of the contract. The contract also asks the firm to develop a program to help transgender inmates access hormone treatment after they are released.

There are only about 1,200 transgender individuals serving sentences in federal prisons, according to a 2021 Department of Justice estimate, meaning the Biden administration spent roughly $1,250 per transgender prisoner. That is more than the $1,200 checks Americans received during the first round of COVID-19 stimulus payments.

The Justice Department’s $1,496,500 contract is part of President Joe Biden’s larger, controversial effort to promote transgenderism—even among minors. The Justice Department in March sent a letter to all state attorneys general warning them against restricting transgender hormone treatment for children. That same month, Biden’s State Department announced it would allow individuals to select “X” as their gender when completing passport applications. The administration also released updated guidelines in January that make it easier for transgender inmates to be placed in facilities that match their “gender identity.”

Following a district court ruling last month, a convicted terrorist is set to become the first transgender inmate to receive federally funded sex-reassignment surgery, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The American Civil Liberties Union, a Biden administration ally, waged the successful legal battle on behalf of Cristina Iglesias, who in 2005 mailed fake anthrax to British government office buildings.

Woke Church of England Refuses to Define the Word ‘Woman’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Church of England refused to offer up a definition of a woman, arguing that recent developments required “additional care” when attempting to define the word.

“There is no official definition, which reflects the fact that until fairly recently definitions of this kind were thought to be self-evident, as reflected in the marriage liturgy,” Senior Bishop Rt Rev Robert Innes said when asked to define the word, according to reporting from GB News.

Innes’ remarks came in response to a question posed by lay member Adam Kendry during the General Synod, who asked: “What is the Church of England’s definition of a woman?”

The Bishop argued that the definition of a woman used to be “self-evident” but no longer had a simple answer.

The comments sparked widespread criticism, with GB News personality Calvin Robinson arguing that offering a definition should not be difficult. (Read more from “Woke Church of England Refuses to Define the Word ‘Woman’” HERE)

This Dem State Senator Says She Focuses on ‘Real Issues’—Like Twerking

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Rhode Island state senator Tiara Mack on Thursday posted a series of flyers saying she will “twerk for trans rights,” among other reasons.

Mack was responding to a video posted on Monday by influential Twitter account “Libs of TikTok” that shows the state senator “twerking”—dancing in a provocative manner that involves shaking her butt and thrusting her hips. Mack in response blasted “the media” for “trying not to cover the real issues.”

“Not on MY watch,” she wrote. “I #TwerkFor joy, abortion justice, body autonomy, trans rights, and intersex rights.” She then posted the flyers.

While Mack will likely win reelection in her heavily Democratic state Senate district, Democrats face a surprisingly tough race in one of the deep-blue state’s congressional districts. Republican Allan Fung is polling ahead of all potential Democratic nominees in Rhode Island’s Second Congressional District, a seat the GOP has not held for 30 years. The Rhode Island Republican Party is using the Mack controversy to fundraise. (Read more from “This Dem State Senator Says She Focuses on ‘Real Issues’—Like Twerking” HERE)

Youth ‘Community Organizer’ Drag Queen Charged With Child Porn

/0 Comments/in , /by

Multiple times already, various judicial authorities have brought criminal charges against those drag queen personalities who frequently are given the run of public libraries, or even schools, to read stories of sexual deviance to children.

Now, a case has appeared that involves “one of Pennsylvania’s popular drag queens,” according to a report at The Gateway Pundit.

The report said the state attorney general’s office has accused a “community organizer,” Brice Williams, who performs under the stage name Anastasia Diamond, of downloading dozens of illegal photos and images.

Fox 43 in the state reports Williams apparently was a “community activist for LGBTQ+ youth in the Harrisburg area.”

Police accused him of having at least 49 photos and 25 videos “of naked, prepubescent boys.” (Read more from “Youth ‘Community Organizer’ Drag Queen Charged With Child Porn” HERE)

State Moves to Restrict Transgender Surgeries for Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alabama is moving to prohibit transgender medication and surgeries for minors just days after the landmark Supreme Court case overturning Roe v. Wade.

The state is among the first to cite Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to argue for banning sex-change surgery for minors, according to the Associated Press. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office is asking for the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to lift an injunction to allow Alabama to enforce a state law making it a felony to give puberty blockers or hormones to minors, arguing transitioning for minors is not a constitutional right or “deeply rooted in our history or traditions.”

Early this spring, Alabama’s state legislature passed a bill criminalizing sex-changing procedures for minors in the state, which was then signed by Gov. Kay Ivey (R) before a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking the measure.

Alabama could be at the forefront of other states pursuing a similar course of action. Last week, the Texas GOP adopted a platform that included support for banning transgender medication and surgery for minors, along with forbidding “Drag Queen Story Hour” events at Texas schools and libraries.

Mom Forces Son-In-Law to Strip, Finds Out He’s a Woman. Wife Sues: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An Indonesian woman filed a lawsuit against her former husband of ten months after learning he is actually a woman—despite engaging in intimacy several times, according to local media reports.

NA, 22, first met her ex-husband — who used the name Ahnaf Arrafif on a dating app — in Jambi City, the capital and largest city in the Indonesian province of Jambi. However, local media reports Arrafif’s real name is Erayani.

Erayani and NA developed an online relationship before dating in person. . .

Tribun News reported, NA’s parents gave Erayani permission to marry their daughter after several weeks of dating. However four months after tying the knot, the family became suspicious of the NA’s “husband” questioning why they never met Erayani’s family or why “he” never removed clothing—even when bathing. . .

At some point during the short marriage, NA confronted her ex-partner’s lumps on Erayani’s chest, which “he” claimed was a hormonal problem. That’s when NA’s mother forced Erayani to remove her clothes to prove she is, in fact, a man. (Read more from “Mom Forces Son-In-Law to Strip, Finds Out He’s a Woman. Wife Sues: Report” HERE)

The Tide Is Finally Turning Towards Fairness In Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .In recent years, girls and women in sports have come under attack as a result of an aggressive, well-funded campaign to allow boys and men who identify as girls and women to compete in female sports, in the name of transgender rights. University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, a male who competed in men’s swimming then last year started swimming on the women’s team after identifying as female, has most notoriously dominated women’s swimming after the NAACP allowed Thomas to compete in women’s swimming.

Too often, athletes, parents, and sports organizations who disagree with males in women’s sports have cowered or stayed silent in the face of this controversy because shaming naysayers as “transphobic” is a tactic of activists on this issue, just as “racist” and “Islamophobic” are weaponized to silence people on issues of race and religion.

But that is now finally changing. Earlier this week, the International Swimming Federation (FINA) voted to approve a new policy restricting most transgender athletes from competing in elite women’s aquatic competitions. Then on Wednesday, the International Rugby League ruled that transgender athletes cannot compete in women’s sports,

A mother in Australia, Katherine Deves, expressed relief, writing on Twitter: “I am relieved and delighted my daughter’s sport is now safe and fair at [the] elite level.”

Transgender Veterans Still Waiting On VA’s Promise of Surgery Options

/0 Comments/in , /by

One year after Veterans Affairs officials announced they would take steps to provide gender confirmation surgeries for transgender veterans, no procedures have been completed and none are likely to be scheduled for months to come.

Department officials said they are still going through the rulemaking process, with no stated schedule for its end. VA does not currently provide any gender confirmation surgery options for veterans.

The long timeline following the high-profile announcement of the news last summer — during Pride month — has left some veterans advocates frustrated and worried that the promise may not even be fulfilled.

“The clock is ticking,” said Lindsay Church, executive director of Minority Veterans of America.

“I understand the reasons behind the delay and the desire to make sure it is implemented fully, so it can’t just be overturned by a later administration. But they haven’t even gotten to public comment yet. A half measure on this isn’t going to be enough.” (Read more from “Transgender Veterans Still Waiting On VA’s Promise of Surgery Options” HERE)
