Facebook Reportedly Shutters Moms Group for Transphobia After Group Speaks out Against Drag Queen Story Hour

/0 Comments/in , /by

Facebook shut down 500 Mom Strong after its members reportedly engaged in “transphobic” behavior for speaking out against Drag Queen Story Hour. . .

According to The Christian Post, the group violated Facebook’s community standards with anti-Drag Queen Story Hour postings.

The group’s founder, Anna Hall Bohach, told the outlet that the shuttering of the group took place on Monday. Bohach also said that representatives for the social media giant have refused to answer her requests for clarification on the closure.

The ban took effect, she said, “to protect against recidivist behavior.” The move also does not permit “people to set up new Pages that represent Pages that have already been removed from our platform.”

“When I asked them about the half dozen other fake 500 Mom Strong pages that were put up by drag queens used to parody 500 Mom Strong, I received no answer and the pages are still active,” she told the outlet. “There is also a fake profile, created by drag queens, using my name and information that has been reported multiple times by my friends and me that Facebook refuses to remove. I asked the Facebook representative about it and I still have yet to receive an answer.” (Read more from “Facebook Reportedly Shutters Moms Group for Transphobia After Group Speaks out Against Drag Queen Story Hour” HERE)

Judge: Biological Males in Women’s Sports Cannot Be Called ‘Males’ in Court, Must Be Called ‘Transgender Females’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three female high school track athletes are suing the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) over unfair rules that allow biological males who identify as female to compete in women’s sports. Last month, a district court judge barred the girls’ lawyers from referring to the biological males as “males,” insisting that the lawyers call them “transgender females.” He threatened to retaliate if they refuse to do so. This effective gag order may undermine their case, and it certainly shows bias against their underlying argument. Therefore, the lawyers moved for the judge to recuse himself.

“The Court has now reprimanded Plaintiffs’ counsel and prohibited Plaintiffs from referring to those individuals as ‘male athletes’ because—in the Court’s view— alluding to an individual of the male sex as male is contrary to science, ‘bullying,’ and violates ‘human decency’ if that individual claims a female gender identity,” attorneys Roger Brooks, Kristen Waggoner, and Howard M. Wood III wrote in a motion filed Friday and provided to PJ Media. “A disinterested observer would reasonably believe that the Court’s order and comments have destroyed the appearance of impartiality in this proceeding. That requires recusal.”

They asked District Court Judge Robert Chatigny to recuse himself from the case, arguing that his order “and comments during the hearing would leave an impartial observer gravely concerned that the Court has prejudged the matter, rejected core aspects of Plaintiffs’ case before hearing the evidence and legal arguments, and assumed the role of advocate for the defendants, all to the detriment of Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and Ashley Nicoletti.” (Read more from “Judge: Biological Males in Women’s Sports Cannot Be Called ‘Males’ in Court, Must Be Called ‘Transgender Females'” HERE)

Woman Fights to Be Listed as ‘Father’ on Baby’s Birth Certificate

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender [woman] who gave birth to a child has lost [her] latest legal bid to be registered on the birth certificate as the father rather than the mother.

Freddy McConnell appealed against a decision made by a High Court judge that a person who carries and gives birth to a baby is legally a mother.

Mr McConnell, from Kent, wanted to be named father or parent on the document.

[She] said [she] was disappointed by the Court of Appeal ruling, adding that [her] fight was “just not over”. . .

Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett said the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) required Mr McConnell to be registered as the mother, and the requirement did not violate [her] rights to private and family life, as set out in the European Convention on Human Rights.

Government Proposes Ban on Transgender Procedures for Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

The British government is proposing a complete ban on transgender medical procedures for children, and American lawmakers would be “wise” to follow that example, contends a leading family advocate.

Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies for the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., wrote that British officials don’t want to put young people “on a torturous and unnecessary path that is permanent and life-changing.”

“When state legislators in the U.S. are able to convene again,” he wrote, “they would be wise to follow the British example and prohibit ‘torturous and unnecessary’ gender transition medical procedures for minors.”

Liz Truss, the U.K.’s minister for women and equalities, recently told a parliamentary committee that the Conservative party government would propose amendments to the nation’s Gender Recognition Act.

Truss said a priority would be to make certain “the under 18s are protected from decisions that they could make, that are irreversible in the future.” (Read more from “Government Proposes Ban on Transgender Procedures for Children” HERE)

Report: Female Prison Guards Are Being Raped by Transgender ‘Women’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Female prison officers have been raped by male-bodied inmates who self-identify as trans women, a former Minister has revealed.

The disclosure was made by Rory Stewart, the ex-Tory Cabinet Minister who oversaw prisons in 2018 and 2019 and who is now running as an independent candidate for Mayor of London.

It will fuel questions about policies that have allowed criminals with male bodies to describe themselves as female and demand to be housed in women’s prisons.

Mr Stewart told GQ magazine: ‘When I was Prisons Minister, we had situations of male prisoners selfidentifying as females then raping staff in prison.’

The claim is the first public reference to trans women assaulting prison staff in women’s jails, but it follows warnings that allowing malebodied criminals into female jails puts women in danger. (Read more from “Report: Female Prison Guards Are Being Raped by Transgender ‘Women'” HERE)

Federal Judge Rules Alaska Must Fund Librarian’s Sex-Change Surgery and Attorney General Kevin Clarkson Has No Comment on any Appeal

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge has sided with an Alaska librarian who is demanding the state subsidize his gender reassignment surgery as a public employee, ruling Friday that federal civil-rights law should be interpreted as mandating the coverage.

Jennifer Fletcher, a man who identifies as a woman, is a state legislative librarian in Juneau. He says he has had to spend thousands of dollars on sex-reassignment treatments because they aren’t covered by the state’s health insurance plan, Alaska Public Media reported.

Represented by the pro-LGBT group Lambda Legal, Fletcher sued the state on the grounds that the exclusion supposedly violates the federal ban on “sex discrimination” in Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The state responded that the procedures in question would not have been covered for men or women, but U.S. District Court Judge H. Russel Holland ultimately agreed with Lambda’s argument.

Holland’s decision could be appealed, but the dispute is more likely to be resolved by a case already before the U.S. Supreme Court that consolidates several similar controversies from around the country and hinges on the meaning of the 1964 law.

(Editor’s note: Attorney General Kevin Clarkson has not stated whether the State will appeal this unbelievable decision. He has less than two weeks to do so. If the State does not appeal and begins to provide funding under its healthcare plan for “sex change” operations, even if the Supreme Court eventually rules that Title VII does not mandate such funding, the reversal in State policy may not be undone. And importantly, if the State fails to appeal and request a stay of the judge’s decision, payment will be made to the librarian for the operation. If the governor believes the decision is wrong, he must have his attorney general appeal, notwithstanding any pending Supreme Court cases. Finally, the fact that yet another state is weighing in on the matter may have influence on SCOTUS’s ultimate decision. Sitting on your hands reflects consent.)

Arizona State House Passes Bill Barring Biological Males From Girls’ Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

Lawmakers in Arizona moved a step closer to barring biological males from competing in girls’ sports.

According to a report Tuesday from the Arizona Republic, the state’s House of Representatives passed a bill that would close off designated female sports “to students of the male sex”:

The emotional hours-long debate on House Bill 2706 culminated in a party-line vote of 31-29, sending the measure to the state Senate, where it will become another flashpoint in the culture wars at the state Capitol.

Rep. Nancy Barto, a Phoenix Republican who is sponsoring the measure, argued it is necessary in the face of a lawsuit in Connecticut brought by the conservative Scottsdale-based group Alliance Defending Freedom and students who argue they unfairly lost out in competition with transgender athletes.

H.B. 2706 would require sports or teams sponsored by educational institutions to be designated as either coed, male or female, with biological males not being allowed to compete in female-designated events.

High School Closes Gender-Neutral Bathroom After Student Is Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Another Student

/0 Comments/in , /by

Authorities arrested an 18-year-old student at Rhinelander High School in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, after the student allegedly sexually assaulted one of his fellow students.

According to WSAW-TV, authorities arrested the 18-year-old student — identified as Austin Sauer — on Thursday on charges of child enticement, fourth-degree sexual assault, and exposing genitals to a child.

The Wisconsin Legislature defines fourth-degree sexual assault as “sexual contact with a person without the consent of that person.”

A spokesperson for the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office said the incident took place in the school’s gender-neutral bathroom. The school has now closed the bathroom to its student population.

Capt. Terri Hook said the school did not notify parents of the incident because it was reportedly an isolated occurrence. (Read more from “High School Closes Gender-Neutral Bathroom After Student Is Arrested for Sexually Assaulting Another Student” HERE)

‘This Is Insane’: Piers Morgan Hits out at Transgender Athlete Laurel Hubbard

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of Britain’s highest-profile media figures has taken aim at Kiwi transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard’s potential participation at the Tokyo Olympics.

Hubbard kept her hopes of competing at Tokyo alive last month when she won the women’s super-heavyweight weightlifting contest at the Roma World Cup, the first Olympic qualifying event of the year.

Controversial media personality Piers Morgan, who has over seven million followers on Twitter, took issue with Hubbard’s potential participation in Japan.

“This is insane. Women’s rights to basic fairness & equality are getting destroyed at the altar of political correctness,” Morgan posted on Twitter.

“Trans women born with biological male bodies have a massive physical advantage against women born with female bodies in any sport where power & strength are significant factors. This shouldn’t be a contentious claim, it’s just a rather obvious fact.

New Bill in Liberal State Would Require Toy Aisles to Be ‘Gender Neutral’; Don’t Be Stupid, of Course Kids Toys Aren’t Gender Neutral

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. As California faces a major homeless crisis, skyrocketing taxes, and serious affordable housing issues, a California state legislator is focused on issues that truly matter: gender-neutral toy aisles. . .

Proposed by Assemblyman Evan Low (D), Assembly Bill 2826 would apply to retail department stores with over 500 employees. If passed, the law would eliminate boys and girls aisles, and require that children’s toys be offered in one, gender-neutral section inside the store.

“A retail department store shall maintain one, undivided area of its sales floor where, if it sells childcare articles, all childcare articles, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed,” reads the text of the bill.

Low’s proposed legislation adds: “Keeping similar items that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys separated makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare the products and incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate.” (Read more from “New Bill in Liberal State Would Require Toy Aisles to Be ‘Gender Neutral'” HERE)

Don’t Be Stupid, of Course Kids Toys Aren’t Gender Neutral

By The Federalist. The latest nutty insanity to arise in the state of California is a proposed state ban on department stores having different sections for boys and girls toys and clothing. Now, this may well have been something you weren’t so aware was a pressing problem, but according to the California state legislature, this measure is needed to ensure consumers can compare products without “unjustified differences.”

What does that mean, exactly? It means exactly nothing. First of all, anyone who has ever been in a department store knows that if they wish to compare girls and boys toys, they are free two walk a distance, usually a few feet, to the next aisle and compare them. There is no border wall to surmount. It’s literally right there.

No, the purpose of this legislation has nothing to do with helping consumers and everything to do with trying to untether our children from natural and healthy predilections that have existed throughout time. Somehow these legislators have convinced themselves that the only reason boys like toy guns and actions figures while girls like tea sets and princesses is because the patriarchy has created these monstrous social constructs.

Almost any parent, who has not decided to engage in willing suspension of disbelief in the face of social justice claims, knows this is nonsense. Anyone who picks their kid up from school knows this. My son attends a diverse school with many immigrants from around the world. Upon being released from school, the vast majority of students display behavior typical to their gender. What a strange coincidence.

Are there exceptions to this? Certainly, and there is nothing wrong with masculine girls or feminine boys, this is a phenomenon with a long history. In fact, the irony is that many of the people who insist that feminine boys and masculine girls are literally of the other gender and require treatment for it, are the same ones now insisting that these gender differences don’t exist and should be removed from the marketplace.
