The former Olympian has been monstered for saying trans girls shouldn’t compete in girls’ sports.
Trans activists carry on as if they represent trans people at large. They are quick to label as ‘transphobic’ anyone who fails to adhere to the most extreme version of trans ideology – which says, for instance, that there are no biological differences between men and women, and that to defend women-only spaces is to indulge in anti-trans bigotry.

To talk to David Bell is to have some small sense of what it might be like to be his patient. At 70, his energy puts mine to shame. He cycles everywhere. His diary is full. I’ve rarely interviewed someone so engaged (there are days when he emails me several times, each message more exacting than the last). But ask him a question and he’s unlikely to rush in. Certainty is not a given. His open-mindedness belongs to someone far younger. Above all, he is so calm: a reassuring presence. There are times during our conversation when it’s hard to believe we’re discussing experiences that must have caused him so much anxiety and even, at moments, some fear.
I think I will cease publishing anything on Ellen “Elliot” Page, her most recent interviews reveal an instability being taken advantage of by the MSM.
Former Olympic champion and California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner, who is herself transgender, believes “we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools.”
Confronted by a TMZ reporter during her Saturday morning “coffee run,” Jenner said that allowing trans girls who were born as boys to compete in all-female sports is “unfair.”
Thousands of women are forced to seek safety in shelters operated by religious groups, local governments and charitable organizations, including many who are fleeing abusive husbands, pimps and sex traffickers.
Now add to that list men who are allegedly “transgender women” who insist on staying in shelters intended only to aid women. “Credit” goes to Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge.
…A statement posted to a Christian Facebook his supporters read: ‘Whilst he was preaching, he expounded the final verses of Genesis 1, declaring that God’s purpose in creating mankind was to set human beings in families, headed by a father and a mother, not by two fathers, or by two mothers.
‘The distinction within mankind of just two genders, male and female, made in the image of God, constitutes the essence of God’s created order.’
Five states have passed laws or implemented executive orders this year limiting the ability of transgender youths to play sports or receive certain medical treatment. There’s been a vehement outcry from supporters of transgender rights – but little in the way of tangible repercussions for those states.
It’s a striking contrast to the fate of North Carolina a few years ago. When its Legislature passed a bill in March 2016 limiting which public restrooms transgender people could use, there was a swift and powerful backlash. The NBA and NCAA relocated events; some companies scrapped expansion plans. By March 2017, the bill’s bathroom provisions were repealed.
So far this year, there’s been nothing comparable. Not even lawsuits, although activists predict some of the measures eventually will be challenged in court.
No Big Backlash? Could it have anything to do with people refusing the insane Tranny agenda?
We sat in his living room, books and DVDs on a wide range of scientific topics stacked about here and there. He stood unsteadily and walked to his kitchen in a manner that suggested the effort required some concentration. A few minutes later, he returned with two potent cups of coffee, the small ones of the type Europeans prefer. He held them uncertainly in his right hand, his left arm immobile by his side. These were the lingering effects of a stroke he had suffered only a few months before.
Alabama has become the latest conservative US state to ban transgender girls from playing on female school sports teams.
On Friday, the office of Governor Kay Ivey said the Republican had signed legislation which said a public K-12 school “may never allow a biological male to participate on a female team”.
Supporters of the bill, HB 391, say transgender girls are bigger and faster and have an unfair advantage. Opponents argue the bills are rooted in discrimination and fear and violate federal law barring sex discrimination in education.
British evolutionary biologist and famed atheist Richard Dawkins has been stripped of his “Humanist of the Year” award following tweets comparing transgender people to Rachel Dolezal, a White activist who self-identifies as Black.
The American Humanist Association announced in a statement Monday it was withdrawing the award given to Mr. Dawkins in 1996 after it determined he was “no longer deserving of being honored” by the organization.
Woke corporations like Procter & Gamble have turned trans ideology into a marketing tool.
A current TV ad for Pantene shampoo opens with a woman blow-drying the very long hair of a 12-year-old child. The following words are superimposed: “For LGBT kids, hair is more than how you look. It’s how you are seen.” Cut to the woman, Ashley, sitting on a couch with her lesbian spouse, Ellie. The child, Sawyer, she tells us, “happens to be a transgender girl.” The first time Sawyer went out in public in girl’s clothing and long hair, says Ashley, “she kind of was herself.” Then comes the key sentence. “And that,” she says, “was the first day where I saw her.” In other words, before Sawyer started wearing girl’s clothing and grew her hair long, he was invisible to Ashley. Which compels one to ask: did Sawyer feel unseen? Is that why he decided to grow his hair long and wear dresses?
“We see that men who have transitioned are systematically trying to take control of lesbian associations.”
Because she had published on her blog an article on the pressures made on lesbians to sleep with men , the lesbian sociologist Christine Delphy was attacked by a group of three people during a sociology conference she was giving in Toulouse. . Her attackers violently blocked the holding of the conference, reading a statement explaining that “to say no to a woman as a lesbian because this woman has a penis is to confuse gender social identity and desires or sexual practices. “… In other words, if men declare themselves to be women “with penises”, they gain the right to have sexual relations with us (regardless of our consent), and to confiscate our visibility!
Amazon pulled a second book critical of transgender identity theory from its online store this week as it moves to silence one side of the debate over LGBT issues.
The online retailer has removed Maria Keffler’s “Desist, Detrans, & Detox: Getting Your Child Out of the Gender Cult.” The newly released book had sold less than 100 copies across three platforms and had garnered less than a dozen Amazon reviews before it was pulled, according to Partners for Ethical Care (PEC). PEC noted that Amazon gave “no contact, no warning, no reason” before pulling the book.
Since January, 261 California prison inmates have requested transfers to prisons aligning with their gender identity, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told the Daily Caller News Foundation Tuesday.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed S.B. 132 into law in January, a bill that requires the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to ask every individual entering the department’s custody to specify their pronouns, their gender identity, and whether they identify as transgender, nonbinary, or intersex.
A few months ago, I was allowed into an online group of American parents of young men who have decided that they are in fact young women. I am neither a parent, nor transgender, nor an American, and therefore a tourist: there was an understandable hesitation about letting me in. In a few cases, such parents have been harassed, as they’ve left comments online that dissent from the received wisdom on transgenderism; in all cases, they are deeply wary of rights activists. The parents are mainly, although not entirely, mothers. They and their spouses are nervous of losing their jobs, and below everything rumbles the threat that their sons might discover their communications. While most have expressed to their families their scepticism regarding their sons’ announcements, all are wary of the parent-child relationship worsening. But they did let me in, even with these fears, and took me on a whirlwind ride over the terrain of the new gender ideology.
At this moment, a Vancouver postman named Rob Hoogland is sitting in a jail cell in British Columbia. He will be there until at least April 12, when he’s scheduled for a court date. At that time, he may be ordered to remain behind bars for a period yet to be determined.
Has Hoogland killed or robbed somebody? Is he an arsonist? A rapist? No. What did he do, then? Short answer: he tried to save his emotionally unstable daughter from self-destruction.
