Olympian Says Trans Women Will Break Every Female Sports Record If They’re Allowed to Compete

/0 Comments/in , /by

Every woman’s record in sports “will fall” if male athletes who identify as transgender women are allowed to compete in female sports, former Olympic athlete Rebecca Dussault said in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Forcing female athletes to compete against biological males will have a devastating effect on girls’ and women’s sports, which will in turn have a devastating effect on girls and women, Dussault, a skier, told the DCNF over the phone.

Her warning isn’t a hypothetical: Male athletes who identify as transgender have been piling up victories where allowed to compete in female events. Democrats in Congress and on the campaign have rallied behind the Equality Act, which would require schools to allow biologically male athletes into girls’ sports, if the male athletes identify as transgender.

“Once a male body has gone through puberty, they have received the benefits. So the skeletal form, lung capacity, muscle density, the greater length of levers in their body, their muscle-to-weight ratio, their capacity to deal with dehydration much better, narrower hips, I mean you name it — they are physiologically designed differently than women,” she said.

In addition to competing in the Olympics, Dussault won multiple world championships and runs a fitness training business with global reach from her home in Idaho. (Read more from “Olympian Says Trans Women Will Break Every Female Sports Record If They’re Allowed to Compete” HERE)

Biological Woman Who Identifies as ‘Queer Male’ Says Desire to Get Pregnant Hit Only After Hormone-Aided Transition to ‘Male’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In order to “engender empathy and understanding for people whose stories veer from the traditional, societally enforced narratives,” online magazine Mother told the story of Spencer Dezart-Smith and husband Kelly Dezart-Smith, both of whom identify as queer.

Thing is, Spencer is transgender and underwent hormone therapy and a double mastectomy over a decade ago and has “presented as 100% male ever since,” the magazine said, adding that Spencer specifically “identifies as a queer male.” . . .

Spencer told the magazine getting pregnant wasn’t under consideration prior to gender transitioning, but “now that I felt so strong in my male identity and was being read as male exclusively, I was able to view my ability to carry a child as a super power that I was blessed to have. It was like the innately female ability to bear a child didn’t overpower the certainty I felt in my male identity. The two things could coexist without one cancelling out the other.” . . .

"I have always wanted to be a parent. I think when I was dating women as a woman I didn’t want to be the gestational parent but I still wanted very much to have a family. I couldn’t imagine the idea of carrying a child. The whole thing felt way too feminine to me. I think I was trying so hard to reject the feminine parts of myself that I couldn’t even entertain the thought. Strangely enough, after my transition I began to change my perspective. Now that I felt so strong in my male identity and was being read as male exclusively, I was able to view my ability to carry a child as a super power that I was blessed to have. It was like the innately female ability to bear a child didn’t overpower the certainty I felt in my male identity. The two things could coexist without one cancelling out the other." -Spencer Dezart-Smith, a pregnant father-to-be, who is sharing his journey on #mothermag (📷: @peter_ds)

Spencer had to stop hormone treatment that offered “confidence and security of his identity” and proved “at times excruciatingly difficult,” Mother added.

"To be honest, I didn’t always want to be a parent. I’m pretty radical in my thinking and thought for a long time that children and marriage supported patriarchal systems. I now realize that the system was also designed to make me think that I wasn’t worthy of raising children or being married. The system made me think of myself as unfit for either of those conventions. But the reality is, I can be radical in my thinking, want to dismantle the patriarchy, be married, and have a child. All those things can exist simultaneously and do exist in me. I also think my desire to be a parent evolved and grew deeper as my relationship with Spencer grew. Spence is the kindest, gentlest, and most nurturing man I’ve ever known, and our home reflects that energy. It’s the home I’ve always wanted to be brought up in and now get to live in." -Kelly Dezart-Smith, whose husband, Spencer, is pregnant with their first child. (📷: @peter_ds)

Johns Hopkins Professor Issues Dire Warning on Child Transgender Trend

/0 Comments/in , /by

A psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins University has slammed the medical and psychiatric industries for what he says is reckless and irresponsible treatment of patients who claim to be transgender.

Paul McHugh, a renowned psychiatrist from Johns Hopkins University, told The College Fix he believes transgender people are being experimented on because the doctors treating transgender patients with hormones “don’t have evidence that (the treatment) will be the right one.” He also criticized the manner of treatment given to many children who claim to be transgender.

“Many people are doing what amounts to an experiment on these young people without telling them it’s an experiment,” he told The Fix via phone.

“You need evidence for that and this is a very serious treatment. It is comparable to doing frontal lobotomies.” . . .

A recent study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that 80 percent of gender minority students report having mental health problems, nearly double the rate of “cisgender” students. McHugh believes that in many cases the patient’s gender dysphoria is precipitated by mental illness. (Read more from “Johns Hopkins Professor Issues Dire Warning on Child Transgender Trend” HERE)

WATCH: Outrageous BBC Kids’ Series Teaches Children That There Are More Than 100 Genders

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new video series from the BBC teaches children that there are more than 100 gender identities. . .

One particular episode — “Understanding Sexual and Gender Identities” — features a discussion on what gender is. According to the BBC, gender is not biological assignment, it is “who you are inside.”

“There are so many gender identities,” one teacher told the young children. “So we know we’ve got male and female, but there are over 100, if not more, gender identities now.”

The teacher added, “You’ve got some people who might call themselves ‘gender queer,’ who are just like, ‘I don’t really want to be anything in particular, so I’m just going to be me.'”

Leo Lardie, a trans activist who was born female but is now a man, told the children of her transition, including bits about her own genitalia. She insisted that the only way she could live a happy and healthy life was by being “true about who I was, and let other people in on this.”

Cancer Society Claims Men Without Cervixes Can Get Cervical Cancer

/0 Comments/in , /by

There is no explanation for the following story but mass hysteria, which is a phenomenon where a large group of people can hallucinate the same delusion all at once. That’s exactly what is happening with the trans-hysterical movement in Western countries. Take Canada for example. These people north of our border have lost their minds, and I don’t mean just random folks, but major institutions like the Canadian Cancer Society.

A new ad campaign to fight cervical cancer is dominated by a transgender person who is a biological male and has no cervix. . .

The site goes onto claim that the risk of cervical cancer for a person with no cervix is very low. “If you’re a trans woman, you may not have given much thought to Pap tests and cervical cancer. And if you haven’t, that makes a fair amount of sense. After all, in order to get cervical cancer, you need to have a cervix.” But don’t be fooled by the seeming clarity of this statement. They go on to talk themselves out of it.

“If, however, you’re a trans woman who has had bottom surgery to create a vagina (vaginoplasty) and possibly a cervix, there’s a very small risk that you can develop cancer in the tissues of your neo-vagina or neo-cervix. The risk depends on the type of surgery you had, the type of tissue used to create your vagina and cervix and your personal health history. Talk to your healthcare provider to figure out your specific cancer-screening needs as part of your overall pelvic health following surgery.”

Mom Who Was Arrested in Front of Kids After Calling Transgender Activist the ‘Wrong’ Gender Is Charged

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Kate Scottow, who was arrested in front of her two young children for referring to a trans woman as a man has been charged with malicious communications.

Authorities arrested Scottow, 38, at her home in December after she misgendered trans activist Stephanie Hayden on Twitter. She was detained for more than seven hours before being questioned, according to previous reporting. . .

After her initial arrest, Scottow took to the Mumsnet online forum to air her grievances.

“I was arrested in my home by three officers, with my autistic ten-year-old daughter and breastfed 20-month-old son present,” Scottow wrote. “I was then detained for seven hours in a cell with no sanitary products (which I said I needed) before being interviewed then later released under investigation … I was arrested for harassment and malicious communications because I called someone out and misgendered them on Twitter.”

She had her photograph, DNA, and fingerprints taken during the incident, and a court banned her from referring to Hayden as a man. (Read more from “Mom Who Was Arrested in Front of Kids After Calling Transgender Activist the ‘Wrong’ Gender Is Charged” HERE)

Women’s Rape Shelter Faces Death Threats for Rejecting Transgender “Women”

/0 Comments/in , /by

Canada’s oldest rape crisis shelter is facing death threats and vandalism over their policy of not including transgender women. . .

“A follow up to the dead rat that was nailed to our door recently… this morning we found this writing scrawled across the windows of our storefront space that we use for support and training groups,” the account tweeted, adding “misogyny” in a hashtag.

The photos show writing with the death threat, “KILL TERFS,” and “TRANS POWER.” The word “TERF” is an acronym used by transgender activists and allies as a pejorative for “transgender exclusionary radical feminist.” It is used against feminists who do not follow the demands of the transgender lobby, especially those which put women at risk or under threat. . .

The center offers its services to women who were born female in accordance with the feminism that guides their mission. In March, the Vancouver City Council pulled funding from the group because of pressure from transgender activists.

The shelter decried the decision, saying in a statement that the council was committing to “discrimination against women in the name of inclusion.”

Children as Young as 3 Could Soon Get Sex Change Advice From a Doctor via Skype

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United Kingdom’s National Health Service is considering a plan that would allow patients, including young children, to consult with a doctor about gender transition remotely via video conference services, according to the Daily Mail.

A clinic in the U.K. that evaluates patients for potential gender transition treatments has seen an increase in patient volume of more than 400 percent since 2013, resulting in a waiting list of about two years. More than 2,500 children were referred to the clinic just last year, including some 3- and 4-year olds.

In order to deal with the volume, the clinic is considering a plan for patients to be able to consult with a doctor using services such as Skype or Apple’s Facetime function, allowing doctors to diagnose and prescribe gender transition issues and treatments such as hormone therapy remotely. . .

The Gender Identity Development Service, run by an NHS trust, is advocating for the necessity of remote consultations for gender confusion issues.

“The Trust is working to minimize waiting times and make clinical support easier to access, including eliminating travel time for young people and their families, which will also allow us to offer appointments earlier and later in the day,” a spokesman said. “As with the rest of the NHS, innovations like telemedicine are an addition and will not mean the removal or inability to access face-to-face consultations.

Court Orders State to Pay for Sex Offender’s Trans Surgery; Governor Refuses

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Citing constitutional protections against inflicting “cruel and unusual punishments” on criminals, a panel of three judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that the State of Idaho must pay for the male-to-female gender reassignment surgery of an inmate sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy. In response, Republican Gov. Brad Little vowed to make sure taxpayer money is not diverted to the sex offender’s surgery, particularly because the treating physician and multiple mental health professionals maintain that it is not medically necessary.

The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution states that “[e]xcessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted” on criminals. That amendment, a three-judge panel ruled Friday, requires the State of Idaho to pay for the $20,000 to $30,0000 sex reassignment surgery for Adree Edmo, a biological male convicted of sexually abusing a 15-year-old at the age of 22 and who claims to identify as a female.

Edmo began serving time in a male prison in 2012. In 2017, Edmo sued the state, claiming the state’s refusal to pay for the controversial and costly surgery was “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Last December, Federal District Judge B. Lynn Winmill sided with Edmo, ruling that the state should fund the surgery, a ruling the state appealed. On Friday, the panel agreed with Winmill, concluding that prison officials were “deliberately indifferent to Edmo’s gender dysphoria, in violation of the Eighth Amendment,” as reported by Boise State Public Radio. Prison officials, the panel wrote, have not provided for what the judges say are Edmo’s “medical needs” due to the “extreme suffering” caused by gender dysphoria.

Edmo, who is due for release in early 2021, has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, a condition in which a person identifies as the opposite of his or her biogical sex. NPR notes that Edmo reportedly twice attempted “self-castration.” (Read more from “Court Orders State to Pay for Sex Offender’s Trans Surgery; Governor Refuses” HERE)

Teacher to Transgender Student: I Will Not Use ‘Female Pronoun,’ Accept It or Leave My Class

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Florida teacher refused a transgender student’s request to use the student’s desired pronouns — and now the whole staff will undergo additional training to ensure an inclusive environment, First Coast News reported. . .

“I will NOT refer to you with female pronouns,” Thomas Caggiano of Sandalwood High School in Jacksonville wrote in an email obtained by First Coast News. “If this is not acceptable for you, change classes.” . . .

Duval County Public Schools called the incident “unfortunate” and “not consistent with our expectations” but said staff would undergo additional training to ensure an inclusive environment at school, the outlet reported.

District spokesperson Laureen Ricks added in an email to First Coast News that “it has served as a teachable moment and allowed for constructive dialogue among our school community. As [Superintendent] Dr. [Diana] Greene has shared, ‘We all have an experience of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, and we all deserve to feel comfortable expressing those identities.'” . . .

Ricks told the outlet that the teacher has been counseled, but it wasn’t immediately clear if discipline will take place. The matter has been referred to the district’s Office of Equity and Inclusion/Professional Standards, which can conduct an investigation, Ricks added to First Coast News.
