Though the Supreme Court today declined to get involved in a case brought on by a former high school transgender student who claimed their rights were violated when they weren’t allowed to use the restroom of their choice at school several years ago, the battle over whether or not to allow transgender women further access to women’s dressing rooms, locker rooms, sports programs, etc. is far from over.
On Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden gave remarks commemorating pride month and celebrating “the LGBTQ+ community,” though at times he did slip up and began with the “LBT” instead of the LGBT”
Biden was introduced by Ashton Mota, a 16-year old who claimed to be transgender when only a 12-year old.
A library in Fairfax, Virginia, is targeting “school age children,” “preschoolers,” and “babies and toddlers” as the audience for their “Drag StoryBook Hour” scheduled for Saturday, June 26, as part of celebrating “Pride Month.”
The library wrote: “Celebrate Pride Month by attending Drag StoryBook Hour cosponsored by Fairfax County Public Library and the McLean Community Center. Registration required. All Ages.”
The editorial timing at Berkeley News — UC Berkley’s in-house media service — really couldn’t have been more perfect. There I was at my desk last Thursday, struggling to find a newsy intro for my Junk Science Week submission on sex-spectrum pseudoscience. And then, as if on cue, my news aggregator popped out the headline: Truly Changing Sex Is Possible, Says Berkeley Trans Scholar Grace Lavery.
Eligibility rule keeps transgender runner out of trials
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Transgender runner CeCe Telfer will not be allowed to compete in the women’s 400-meter hurdles at U.S. Olympic trials because Telfer has not met the conditions World Athletics established in its eligibility regulations for certain women’s events.
Telfer competed for the men’s team at Division II Franklin Pierce, but took time off, then came back to compete for the women’s team. In 2019, Telfer won the NCAA title.
An investigation started after a video surfaced which shows a PRIDE flag in flames on the ground in what is believed to be in Mississauga.
It has been confirmed that biological male Laurel Hubbard will be competing in women’s weightlifting at the Tokyo Olympics. It will mark the beginning of the end of women’s sports on the world stage.
Hubbard, a 43-year-old man who began to identify as a woman at the age of 35, will represent New Zealand in Tokyo next month. Hubbard is eleven years older than the recorded age of the next oldest qualifier, American Sarah Robles. Hubbard may not medal, but the reality is that this shouldn’t have happened regardless. Hubbard surely would not have qualified if not for being a biological male.
New Zealand has been accused of undermining female athletics after tapping trans weightlifter Laurel Hubbard for the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo, with some even describing the decision as outright cheating.
The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) CEO Kereyn Smith said that Hubbard met the requirements to compete in the international games, and stressed that New Zealand’s team has a “strong culture of… inclusion and respect for all.” Smith acknowledged that the decision was controversial, stating that “human rights” must be balanced with “fairness on the field of play” when it comes to gender identity in sports.
Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard will be the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympics.
Hubbard was among five weightlifters confirmed Monday for New Zealand’s team for the Tokyo Games.
She will also be the oldest weightlifter at the Games and will be ranked fourth in the women’s heavyweight division. Hubbard won a silver medal at the 2017 World Championships and gold in the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa. She competed at the 2018 Commonwealth Games but sustained a serious injury that set back her career.
I was already done with the Olympic Scam so this just reinforces my decision.
Imagine a world where you can be jailed for attempting to protect your child from medical assault. A future where you can no longer object to your child being subjected to medicalized gay conversion ‘therapy.’ A country where the government can legally enforce a belief system and criminalize anyone who goes against that system of belief. No, I’m not talking about Iran… I’m talking about Canada.
A feminist artist has been cancelled by the Royal Academy after trans activists complained about her 2019 blog in which she called a woman ‘an adult human female’ and criticised LGBT charity Stonewall.
The institution pulled the work of Jess de Wahls, a textile artist born in East Berlin, from its gift shop after activists accused her of expressing ‘transphobic views’ in a blog posted to her website two years ago.
Miss de Wahls had criticised ‘gender identity ideology’ and Stonewall, the controversial LGBT organisation which has been accused of fostering a climate of intolerance in workplaces across the UK.
A law prohibiting the sharing of content portraying homosexuality and transgenderism to those under the age of 18 has been passed by Hungary’s National Assembly.
The vote passed on Tuesday by a vote of 157-1.
The law was included in a larger bill cracking down on pedophilia by creating a register of child sex offenders, implementing stricter punishments for child pornography, and barring pedophile offenders from jobs where they would encounter children. It also singled out the promotion of LGBT affairs in schools.
On the first day of Pride month, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, signed a law banning transgender girls from participating on girls’ sports teams in middle school through college.
It was just one of 13 anti-trans bills conservative lawmakers in the US passed this year, and one of more than 110 bills that were proposed – by far the largest number in US history.
An outbreak of sanity!

Nickelodeon, a cable network that used to entertain children and is now aggressively looking to prematurely sexualize them, is facing a well-deserved ratings collapse.
Maybe pushing adult sexuality on a children’s network isn’t such a good idea, and it really makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes with the execs that brings such creepy content to air.
