YMCA Scrubs Trans Guidance After Parent Group Uproar

The YMCA removed several webpages outlining policies that allow boys who identify as girls to access female cabins, showers and locker rooms following backlash from a national parent group.

The takedown came days after the American Parents Coalition published a warning to families Wednesday about YMCA summer camps permitting biological males into private spaces designated for girls. The now-removed materials — which were archived — included guidelines encouraging staff to affirm “gender identity” over sex and to withhold such information from parents.

“Parents deserve the truth — especially when it involves the possibility that their children could be put in a situation where they’re expected to share private spaces with members of the opposite sex,” said Alleigh Marré, executive director of the coalition.

Archived versions of the removed pages show the YMCA’s national body had issued guidance dating as far back as 2017 encouraging affiliates to give campers access to facilities based on self-declared gender identity. One page, titled “How to Creat ea Safe Space for LGBTQ+ Campers,” states that camp workers should “ensure all campers have access to the facilities aligned with their gender identity.”

Guidance from Camp Olson, a YMCA facility in Minnesota, advised against notifying families if their child decided to come out as transgender at the camp, stating that “an individual should not be outed without their permission … to other participants, staff, or their own families” — adding that biological sex “should not dictate the use of gendered space.” Other now-removed YMCA webpages included recommendations to feature transgender individuals in promotional material, partner with LGBT advocacy groups and read books like “George” — a novel about a boy who wants to be a girl — to children as young as four.

‘Pure Evil’ Transgender ‘Woman’ Who Fatally Stabbed Postal Worker Inside NYC Deli Sentenced to 15 Years

The knife-wielding transgender [man] who viciously stabbed a postal worker to death in a Harlem deli earlier this year was sentenced Thursday to 15 years behind bars.

Jaia Cruz, 24 — who ruthlessly killed USPS worker Ray Hodges after an argument in January — was given the sentence after striking a plea deal, infuriating relatives of Hodges at the Manhattan court hearing who wanted more time.

“This is pure evil. This is a disgusting excuse for a human being and you allowed a second chance,” the mother of Hodges’ children, whose name wasn’t immediately clear, told Judge Gregory Carro.

“When people like this are allowed plea bargains, you get broken families, you get us. I’m not happy with fifteen years,” she raged. “To all these postal workers, be careful when you are out there working your route.”

In April, Cruz pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the Jan. 2 slaying of Hodges, a 36-year-old father of two, at Joe’s Deli Grocery. (Read more from “‘Pure Evil’ Transgender ‘Woman’ Who Fatally Stabbed Postal Worker Inside NYC Deli Sentenced to 15 Years” HERE)

Trans Rights Radicals Surround Mother Holding Baby at Christian Group Rally Outside City Hall

Raving trans rights radicals surrounded a mother with three young children at a rally held by a Christian group outside Seattle City Hall Tuesday, video circulating on social media shows.

The “Rattle in Seattle” protest was organized by MayDay USA, which describes itself as a pro-life grassroots movement that defends traditional family values and units.

The demonstrators descended on City Hall on Tuesday to rally against Seattle’s woke mayor, Bruce Harrell, who blamed the conservative group for a weekend protest that turned violent.

MayDay USA had held a demonstration on Saturday at the city’s Cal Anderson Park that descended into chaos when left-wing counterdemonstrators stormed the event, resulting in 23 arrests.

Harrell blamed the melee in the heart of the city’s historically LGBTQ neighborhood on “far-right” demonstrators and “anarchists” who he said were “promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values.” (Read more from “Trans Rights Radicals Surround Mother Holding Baby at Christian Group Rally Outside City Hall” HERE)

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Defunds Medicaid-Covered Transgender Surgery

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending budget, lovingly dubbed the “one big, beautiful, bill,” strips Medicaid’s funding for transgender surgeries — a move that will impact a large portion of such procedures if it passes the Senate.

The reconciliation budget, which narrowly passed the House of Representatives early Thursday morning in a 215-214-1 vote, would have initially prohibited Medicaid from covering “gender transition procedures” for children, until a late Wednesday amendment struck the words “minors” and “under 18 years of age” from that section, the Independent reported.

Gender transition treatments that would no longer be covered include puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries.

A 2023 study by gynecologists from Columbia University and the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, revealed that a staggering 25 percent of so-called “gender-affirming” surgeries in the United States are covered by Medicaid.

Out of the 48,019 patients identified in the report who underwent such surgeries, over 12,000 were Medicaid recipients. (Read more from “Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Defunds Medicaid-Covered Transgender Surgery” HERE)

Activists Deface Iconic National Park

A group of transgender activists raised a transgender pride flag Tuesday on the rock formation El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California on Tuesday, according to a press release obtained by the Daily Caller.

The pride flag, at 55 feet by 35 feet, was the largest flag to be flown over the iconic rock formation, the project, called “Trans is Natural,” said. The action was done as an “act of solidarity” by a group of “transgender, queer, and ally climbers.”

A video published by a self-identified “environmentalist & drag artist” who goes by the name Pattie Gonia shows a group of rock climbers bringing the transgender pride flag up El Capitan and unfurling it over a crevice in the formation.

“Some carry hate; we carry the largest trans pride flag ever flown in a national park and unfurled it on the side of El Cap to prove a point,” Gonia says in the video while wearing a drag costume of a park ranger with the word “Gay” on the name tag.

Gonia explained the purpose of the demonstration was to show that “trans is natural.” (Read more from “Activists Deface Iconic National Park” HERE)

Irony Alert — Transgender Lawmaker Against Name Change to Gulf of America: Dumb and ‘Ridiculous’

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first transgender member elected to the United States Congress, believes it is dumb and “ridiculous” to formally change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

McBride made the remarks on Thursday ahead of the House formally passing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) measure to codify President Donald Trump’s executive order.

“We are on our way to the House floor to vote on what is possibly the dumbest bill we could be spending our time on: Legislation to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This is ridiculous,” McBride — a biological man who believes his claim to womanhood is legitimate — said of the simple name change.

“And look, you might think that we’re doing this because it’s another opportunity for House Republicans to be sycophantic to the man in the White House,” McBride said, contending that Republicans are focusing on the name change to distract from their polices at a time when he claimed “Donald Trump’s reckless and erratic tariff policy is crashing the economy.”

“Changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico — in this economy? What the hell are we doing here?” McBride, who — ironically — changed his own name from Tim to Sarah, added.

WATCH: Female Fencer and Trans-Supporting USA Fencing Head Face Off at Heated DOGE Hearing

The battle over women’s sports came to a head for women’s fencing on Wednesday in a heated congressional hearing where female fencer Stephanie Turner took questions alongside USA Fencing Chairman Damien Lehfeldt, who doubled down on allowing trans-identifying men.

Lehfeldt was subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee’s DOGE subcommittee for the hearing titled, “Unfair Play: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.”

Turner was disqualified from a Maryland tournament in March for taking a knee and refusing to compete against a trans-identifying male opponent. She ultimately stepped away from fencing altogether.

“It took me nearly three years to get up the courage to come out publicly,” Turner told lawmakers at the hearing. “That knee I took in protest was a cry for help and an act of desperation.”

Turner also explained how biological sex impacts performance in fencing, reminding lawmakers that it is a “combat sport.”

Trump Mocks Trans Athletes in Women’s Sports to Roaring Applause at Commencement

President Donald Trump stirred the hearts of the University of Alabama graduates when he reaffirmed his promise to “keep men out of women’s sports.”

During a commencement speech at the university’s graduation ceremony on Thursday night, Trump gave a shutout to the school’s SEC champion women’s track and field team before igniting a raucous applause by “vowing to defend women’s sports.”

“As long as I’m president, we will always protect women’s sports. Men will not play in women’s sports,” Trump said before the crowd erupted in cheers for its loudest and longest applause of the night.

“No way. They say it’s an 80-20 issue. No, it’s a 97-3 issue, I think,” Trump said. “No, men will not be playing in women’s sports. I said that, and I classified it with a very powerful executive order, as you know. It’s done.”

Parents Who Don’t Want Their Children Mutilated Are Under Assault In Colorado

What happens when your ex-wife wants to convince your 12-year-old daughter that she isn’t really a girl? In the state of Colorado, if you don’t “affirm” that made-up gender identity, the state will start to take your child away from you.

That’s what is happening to father Robert Hernandez, whose ex-wife Abigail Sanderson has allegedly been working with a groomer school therapist to pursue the new “non-binary” gender status of their daughter. Sanderson has also been successful at using the Colorado court system and its current laws to begin stripping Hernandez of his rights to be a father to his own daughter.

“I’ve kind of faced the extent of the repercussions here — for me, every other weekend is honestly no different from not having it all,” Hernandez told The Federalist on Friday after Colorado magistrate Nicholas Campbell decided to cut his time with his daughter because he raised questions about the social transition regime Jefferson County Public Schools (Jeffco) and Sanderson have implemented for the pre-teen girl.

As The Federalist has reported, a “social transition” — changing names and pronouns, as well as using facilities like restrooms designated for the opposite sex — is a dangerous gateway toward children eventually taking chemical castration drugs to keep “transitioning,” eventually leading to mutilation surgeries. Schools have become an incubator for this kind of behavior, setting up a transition pipeline with the influence of teachers and counselors.

While Hernandez’s daughter, who currently goes by a different name, told him she would never “hurt herself” in that way, “social transitions,” are powerful tools used to convince children that mutilation will make them feel more comfortable.

State’s Demand to Have Boys in Girls’ Sports Escalates

President Donald Trump has fought to protect girls and women in their sporting events, as leftists try to flood the competitions with boys and men who say they are female.

One state has refused to go along with the president’s executive orders, and now is facing an escalated fight because of the agenda demanded by its governor, Janet Mills, a Democrat who publicly defied the president, threatening that she would see him in court.

Earlier, a variety of federal funding programs for the state were blocked by the president, and now the Washington Stand reports the Trump administration has taken legal action to cut off K-12 funding for the state.

It’s over the state’s promotion of transgender agenda points, in which boys and men are allowed in sports created for females.

The report explained, “The Department of Education announced last Friday that it had initiated an administrative proceeding to terminate all K-12 funding to the Maine Department of Education, ‘including formula and discretionary grants,’ over Title IX violations by allowing males who identify as female to compete against and change in front of girls.” (Read more from “State’s Demand to Have Boys in Girls’ Sports Escalates” HERE)
