Title: How We Define Gender In Hawaii
Post by: Dos Equis on March 14, 2007, 10:49:15 AM
Our legislature has codified the following definition of gender:

"Gender identity or expression" includes a person's actual or perceived gender, as well as a person's gender identity, gender-related self-image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression, regardless of whether that gender identity, gender-related self-image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression is different from that traditionally associated with the person's sex at birth.

There are various statutes that prohibit discrimination on the basis of "gender identity or expression" in Hawaii, including in housing.  We are moving towards imposing this definition on employers as well. 

This isn't just about homosexuality.  It is about "gender-related appearance," which to me means a man dressing like a woman. 

Any opinions on this?

What should an employer do if they advertise a job opening for a receptionist and a cross-dressing man (not necessarily a homosexual) applies for the job? 

Should our military adopt this kind of definition too?

BB - I agree.  People with gender identity issues should be discriminated against and should not be allowed equal access to housing.   Does Dr. Dobson have any prescription to Treat and Prevent this?

BTW - you seem to spend A LOT of time thinking about these things

Someone stepped up to the plate!   :)  What about my receptionist hypothetical?  I think it's an interesting issue?  What would you do? 

I spend a lot of time thinking and talking about a lot of things.   :)  The fact that many of these things come up during our legislative session every year, and is routinely plastered all over the media, helps a little too.

it's not that complicated  - interview the person and decide if  you want to hire them or or not based on their skills and/or if you think they would be a good fit within the culture of your organization.   

Why do gay and transgendered people scare you so much?

I think it's very complicated.  We're not talking about a homosexual necessarily.  We're talking about, among other things, "gender-related appearance."  Like it or not, a person's appearance matters a great deal to many.  Someone posted an article a while back about the relationship between looks and income.  Definite correlation.

I think if this gender definition was limited to homosexuality, it would be much simpler.  But gender-related appearance?  I'm not even sure what that means.  A guy who looks like a girl?

Never said I was scared of "gay and transgendered people."

That's not what the definition says:

"Gender identity or expression" includes a person's actual or perceived gender, as well as a person's gender identity, gender-related self-image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression, regardless of whether that gender identity, gender-related self-image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression is different from that traditionally associated with the person's sex at birth.

So it's not as simple as penis and vagina.

Well, I'm in sales, so pretty much what we dress like is dictated by our customers.  If the person looks to whacked out, then they won't do well with us and natural evolution will take over.  If a person isn't presentable then it's a issue that would be addressed on the spot.

we have had, in the past, women who are lesbians who dressed more like men and were able to do well.    So in the private sector i really don't think it has much of an impact other than in business where your clients dictate how you look.

How ever in the military it does matter.

Here is the thing though:  a definition like this will prevent you from refusing to hire someone who looks whacked out, not saying this is a good or bad thing, just confusing.  We're not talking about lesbians.  Those are easy, as are homosexual men.  We cannot and do not discriminate against them here.  But gender-related appearance is a whole different, confusing ballgame.

Thanks for the input.

In Sweden, the military usually have uniforms or a dress code, usually suits, just like any other workplace.

So transvestites don't get to wear high heels in the djungle... 8)

The uniforms are unisex, or rather, they're originally designed for males, and have some custom fit for the females I guess. But there are no skirts, so to speak.

I don't see Gay-in-Army problem to be honest.

The only problem is gay bashing and homofobia, fcuking up the spirit in a group. But that's something that is a problem for the homophobic person, since homosexuality is allowed in our society.

-Hedge

edit: I'm no fan of transexuals personally, and although I don't have problem with transvestites, neither of these two groups would be persons I would spend time with if it was up to me.

The same goes for lesbians.

But I definitely support their rights, however.

I work in a creative environment so am exposed to all kinds of people because attitudes seem to be less judgemental or stifling. I've worked with transgendered people... can't say I didn't "notice" which I guess is normal. I'm female, guess that's noticeable too. Don't really know what to say... other than, if someone of one sex feels more normal as the other, they should be entitled to live that way and have the same rights as anyone else.

If it's a job that involves public appearance and reputation that relates to business then i believe it's only right to regulate how the people who represent your company look.  If they look wired or offensive to your clients then they can't by that very fact have the job.

Students opposed to LGBT agenda shamed in classroom

Students at Acalanes High School were given a handout with LGBT terminology – including words like pan-sexual, demi-boy and gray gender.

Teenagers at a California high school were publicly shamed for disagreeing with speakers allowed to push an LGBT agenda during an English class, according to several upset parents.

The Queer Straight Alliance at Acalanes High School, in Lafayette, lectured students in several ninth-grade English classes on Jan. 29 about LGBT issues, according to Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing the parents.

During the class, the students, ages 14 and 15, were instructed to stand in a circle. Then, they were grilled about their personal beliefs and their parents’ beliefs on homosexuality, PJI alleges.

“The QSA had students step forward to demonstrate whether they believed that being gay was a choice and whether their parents would be accepting if they came out as gay,” PJI attorney Matthew McReynolds said. “Students who did not step forward were ridiculed and humiliated.”

PJI is a law firm that specializes in religious liberty cases. They are representing several families who had children in the freshman classes -- some of whom also are angry because there was no parental notification of the LGBT lecture.

“Singling out students for ridicule based on their moral or political beliefs is a Marxist tactic that should have no place in the United States of America,” Dacus said.

During the lecture, the Queer Student Alliance provided students with the names of the gay and lesbian teachers at the high school. They also had students line up to demonstrate where they fell on the “gender spectrum.”

“It was an exercise in gender fluidity,” the parent of one child told me. “They told the students that one day they could come to school feeling like a boy and the next day they could come to school feeling like a girl.”

Students were given a handout with LGBT terminology – including words like pan-sexual, demi-boy and gray gender.

Demi-boy/girl is defined as someone who only partially identifies as a man or woman. Gray gender defines someone who feels as though they sort of fit inside the gender binary, but that their gender is more hazy and undefined.

“Acalanes High School and the district have defied common sense, ignored the law and broken parents’ trust,” McReynolds said in a prepared statement. “These administrators are acting like schoolyard bullies. If they think intimidation is going to work on us or these parents, they are greatly mistaken.”

“It was a public outing,” one parent told me. “My child is being raised in a family with conservative values. We are a Christian family. What bothers me the most is the school is being dishonest and secretive about what’s happening. My son’s value system and our belief system is not being respected on a many levels.”

And from a very practical point – she wants to know why the Queer Student Alliance was allowed to take over an English class.

“There’s no other club at the high school that gets face time in front of freshman English classes for an entire period,” the parent said.

So why is Acalanes High School outing students who may not agree with every facet of the LGBT agenda?

Superintendent John Nickerson tells me it’s all about tolerance.

“The classroom instruction in question was part of a tolerance workshop led by peer educators under the supervision of teachers,” Nickerson wrote to me in an email.

That’s all well and good – but were the teenagers academically qualified to teach a class on issues like “gender fluidity”? Why weren’t the teachers teaching the class? And what about the allegations that students were bullied by the Queer Student Alliance?

“We are aware of the concerns and allegations raised by two parents and the Pacific Justice Institute,” he wrote. “We are investigating the situation, learning activities and classroom environment.”

This happens to be the same high school that invited a “pleasure activist” from Planned Parenthood to teach sex education to the freshman class. Students were encouraged to ask each other questions like “Is it okay if I take my pants off?”

The parent I spoke to bristled at the notion the LGBT class was about tolerance.

“They are tolerant of everyone except people who have Christian values,” she told me.

PJI sent a letter to the school district demanding an explanation of what happened. They believe the classroom lecture violated the privacy rights of the students.

“It should be self-evident that, as a fundamental privacy right, students cannot be ‘outed’ during class time by being made to declare their beliefs and feelings about sensitive sexual matters, any more than a student could be required to announce their sexual orientation,” PJI wrote in their letter to the school district.

Has it really come to this, America – forcing students to declare their allegiance to the LGBT agenda? Maybe they should just stick to teaching English in English class.

Planet Fitness drops member after gender identity complaint
Posted: Mar 06, 2015
By Gino VicciCONNECT

MIDLAND, MI (WNEM) - It's a business that sells itself on being non-judgmental but Planet Fitness has allegedly revoked the membership of a woman for complaining.

Yvette Cormier, a member at the Midland location, says she had no idea what that meant until a few days ago.

"I was stunned and shocked. He looked like a man.. He did not look like a woman," Cormier said. Cormier is talking about a transgender woman who walked into the woman's locker room while she was getting undressed. She says she couldn't believe her eyes.

"This is very unprofessional. This is very scary," Cormier said.

Not knowing why the person was in the women's locker room, Cormier said she immediately complained to the front desk and eventually to corporate offices.

"They told me the same thing, that he was allowed in there because that's the sex he wants to be," Cormier said.

Cormier said she understands that some men self-identify as women and some women self-identify as men, but said the person looked like a man and that caught her off guard.

Cormier lost her membership for violating the company's no judgement zone policy.

Moving forward, Cormier said she isn't concerned with getting her membership back. Her concern now is to warn other women at this gym to make them aware of this policy, because she says Planet Fitness failed to warn her.

The company told TV5 that Cormier's concerns about the policy regarding gender identity was inappropriate and disruptive by complaining to other members at the gym.

Representatives with Planet Fitness issued this statement:

"Planet Fitness is committed to creating a non-intimidating, welcoming environment for our members. Our gender identity non-discrimination policy states that members and guests may use all gym facilities based on their sincere self-reported gender identity.

In expressing her concerns about the policy, the member in question exhibited behavior that club management deemed inappropriate and disruptive to other members, which is a violation of the membership agreement and as a result her membership was ccanceled"

Cormier said she had no idea that person was actually a transgender woman. She also said she had no idea Planet Fitness had a policy allowing transgender women to share locker rooms with women.

TV5 sat down with a well known member of the transgender community to get her take on how to avoid this issue moving forward.

Char Davenport is a professor at Saginaw Valley State University as well as Delta College. She's a prominent member of the transgender community. Davenport is also a transgender woman.

Davenport said she is not surprised by Cormier's reaction. At the same time she said she applauds Planet Fitness for understanding the needs of the transgender community.

According to Davenport, Planet Fitness and any other facility looking to support the transgender community, she insists they must have the proper facility so that supporting LGBT rights doesn't impose on those who may not have a full understanding of her community.

"Private showers and changing areas really would go a long way in resolving these issues," Davenport said.

Cormier said the issue is that Planet Fitness failed to warn her about the possibility they could be sharing a locker room with a member of the transgender community. Davenport feels pointing something like this out to customers could be construed as negative and again she said the proper facilities and changing areas make this issue a moot point.

In the end Davenport said she has no ill feeling towards Cormier, instead she said her concern is valid and most importantly, Davenport said it provides the opportunity for the public to learn more about the transgender community. Which hopefully will avoid a similar situation moving forward.

School district says feds forced policy that allows transgender kids to use bathrooms of their choice
By Todd Starnes 
Published May 07, 2015

UPDATE: The Fairfax County Public Schools School Board voted Thursday night to add "gender identity" to its nondiscrimination policy in spite of massive opposition from parents and the area’s religious community.

Police were summoned to control a standing-room-only crowd as board members approved the controversial measure.

Critics argued it would allow boys who identify as girls to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice — and vice versa. Parents also had concerns about the possibility of transgender teachers.

School Board Chair Tamara Derenak Kaufax issued a statement calling the measure a way to “provide an environment which promotes equality where every student and employee is treated with dignity and respect.”

“The School Board has taken this proactive step to protect our students and staff from discrimination,” she wrote.

The district said they were mandated by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights to add “gender identity” to the policy — or else risk losing federal funding.

Earlier story:

A plan to add “gender identity” to a Virginia school’s nondiscrimination policy has enraged parents and preachers, but leaders of the nation’s tenth largest school district say unless they make the change, the U.S. Department of Education could withdraw federal funding.

Critics warn the Fairfax County Public School policy would allow boys who identify as girls to use the locker rooms and bathrooms of their choice – as well as participate on athletic teams of their choosing.

Martin Baker, the pastor of Burke Community Church, warned that “the damage and destruction to our children, teens and impacted adults will be incalculable.”

“Everything from locker rooms to bathrooms will be potentially open for people who simply feel that their inner sexuality does not match their outer, physical sexuality,” he wrote in an email to the 3,000-member congregation.

“This is not just shocking, it is morally and spiritually abhorrent, and that is why I am convinced this is one cultural issue where we, as a church, must speak up and out with clarity, compassion and conviction,” he added.

But the deputy superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools said they have no choice but to provide specific protections for transgender students. A vote on the issue is expected Thursday night.

“The Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education is requiring that school divisions revise their non-discrimination policies to include gender identity,” Deputy Superintendent Steven Lockard wrote in a memorandum to school board members.

He also said the federal government was requiring the district to hire a consultant to advise them on how school divisions should handle individual cases of transgender students.

“If FCPS refuses to amend its policy, OCR has the right to recommend the termination of federal funding to FCPS,” Lockard wrote.

That bombshell has infuriated parents and politicians – like school board member Elizabeth Schultz.

“While the underlying issue is somewhat sensational, it is the gravitas in overreach of the federal government and the implications thereof that is so very chilling,” she told me. “It could have implications for every public school district in the nation. If they’re going to come for us, they’re going to come to them next.”

Andrea Lafferty, the president of the Washington, D.C.-based Traditional Values Coalition, lives in Fairfax County. She’s launched a campaign to fight the proposed change.

“This is a beating into submission of the American people and the taxpayers by the Obama Administration and those willfully going along with it,” said Lafferty. “They are going to say if you don’t comply, we’re going to take away your lunch money – your federal funding.”

In Fairfax County, that amounts to a lot of lunch money. The Washington Post reports the district receives $42 million from the federal government – about 1.7 percent of its budget.

“We are imperiling our federal education monies if we don’t comply with the law,” said Schultz, who opposes the policy change. “If they can do this, what can’t they do? It’s limitless.”

A Department of Education spokesperson told me on background that it’s conceivable, but unlikely, a district could lose its funding. They said the termination of funding would be a last resort. Nevertheless, the DOE tells me that school districts that receive federal funding must comply with the laws and regulations that the Office of Civil Rights enforces.

In 2014 the Title IX civil rights law was updated to address sex discrimination “based on gender identity or failure to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity” and protect students “who do not conform to sex stereotypes.”

And while bathrooms and locker rooms prove to be a concern – some parents also fear they will not be able to remove their children from classes led by transgender teachers.

“Children in lower grades are still developing who they are – it’s very confusing,” Lafferty said. “Parents should have a right to decide when and where and how to talk about it.”

Parents are also taking issue with the district’s stealth handling of the policy change.

“They tried to sneak it through,” Lafferty told me. “They are trying to go around parents. It’s a political agenda.”

Schultz, too, was alarmed by the lack of parental notification.“There was no public hearing,” she said. “There were zero opportunities for moms and dads.”

There are several key areas of concern among opponents of the policy – specifically whether children will be allowed to use the restrooms and locker rooms of their choice.

But Lockard said those fears are unfounded, noting there is a “vetting process” that students must go through if they claim they are transgender.“That prevents the scenario of a biological male student walking into school on a Monday, claiming he’s transgender and identifies as a female, and being allowed to use the girl’s bathroom immediately,” he wrote in the memorandum.

But Schultz said there are no regulations in place to govern the implementation of the policy.“We’re talking about passing a policy before any of the regulations are written,” she told me.

For example – how would the district handle a “gender-fluid” student – a young person who identifies as both male and female?

The Washington Post interviewed a teenager who identifies with both genders.

“The policy change could mean the freedom to feel comfortable walking around school in makeup, carrying a vintage Louis Vuitton purse and wearing a crop-top, his navel exposed,” the newspaper reported.

What happens once the policy is approved is unclear – but there are some supporters – like high school chorus teacher Evan Ayars.

“The bottom line is inclusion, regardless of your identity,” he told the Post. “I could have been fired just because I’m gay until 2014. That’s utterly ridiculous to me.”

Lafferty said parents around the nation should pay close attention to what happens in Fairfax County.

“This should be a concern to everybody,” she said. “The Obama administration thinks they can do whatever they darn well please. The Constitution doesn’t matter. The rights of parents don’t matter. God Almighty doesn’t matter to this administration.”

Tennessee courts reverse ban on 'Mother' and 'Father'
By Todd Starnes 
Published August 19, 2015

On Tuesday afternoon I told you that court officials in Tennessee had replaced the words “Mother” and “Father” on court documents with the gender-neutral terms “Parent 1” and “Parent 2”.

A few hours after my column was published the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) announced they were reversing the policy.

Click here to join Todd’s American Dispatch – a must-read for Conservatives!

 A court spokesperson told me they had made the change to more gender-neutral language in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to redefine marriage.

That decision infuriated thousands of readers -- including one mother who said she did not endure ten hours of labor to be called “Parent 1.”

After fielding lots of angry phone calls it didn’t take long for the court to realize they had stepped into a great big pile of Number 2.

Here’s the statement I received from the AOC:

“After receiving feedback regarding a recent change made to the permanent parenting plan form, the AOC has reviewed the procedures and determined that, before making any changes to the form, the AOC should consult with the Domestic Committee of the Tennessee Judicial Conference. We have reverted to the previous form and the Committee has been notified.”

In laymen’s terms --  Mommy and Daddy are once again permissible.

That’s good news for folks like State Rep. Dan Howell, of Cleveland, Tenn.  He was livid when he learned the state had dropped ‘Mother’ and ‘Father.’

“I was dumbfounded,” he told me. “I thought: ‘how could this happen in a state that has voted by more than 80 percent to define marriage as between one man and one woman’?”

Howell was in the process of rounding up a posse of fellow legislators to stop the court -- when the decision was reversed.

I was originally alerted to the gender-neutral parenting documents by Kendra Armstrong, a family law attorney in Memphis and one of my longtime readers.

“It’s absolutely ludicrous to make the term ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ obsolete,” Armstrong told me. “Quite frankly, the terms ‘Parent 1’ and ‘Parent 2’ seem more offensive than ‘Mother’ and ‘Father.’ It’s implying that one parent is the first parent and the other parent is secondary.”

Armstrong said she was incredulous when her paralegal discovered the document changes -- shocked that something like this would happen in, of all places, the Bible Belt.

“This is political correctness gone absolutely amuck,” she told me. “It’s just ridiculous.”

What happened yesterday is proof positive that when patriots stand together and fight back against the cultural jihadists -- we can facilitate change.

Well done, folks.

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE DENIES PRESSURING STUDENTS TO DROP SEX-SPECIFIC PRONOUNS ‘HE,’ ‘SHE’
(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2015/08/17244078486_e8655a5ef4_k-640x480.jpg)
by BREITBART NEWS28 Aug 2015

The University of Tennessee Knoxville posted a language guide Wednesday titled “Inclusive Practice: Pronoun Usage,” encouraging students to use non-“gender binary” words to describe their peers.

Donna Braquet (pictured), director of the university’s “Pride Center,” wrote:

With the new semester beginning and an influx of new students on campus, it is important to participate in making our campus welcoming and inclusive for all. One way to do that is to use a student’s chosen name and their correct pronouns.



In the first weeks of classes, instead of calling roll, ask everyone to provide their name and pronouns. This ensures you are not singling out transgender or non-binary students. The name a student uses may not be the one on the official roster, and the roster name may not be the same gender as the one the student now uses.



diversity.utk.edu
diversity.utk.edu

We are familiar with the singular pronouns she, her, hers and he, him, his, but those are not the only singular pronouns. In fact, there are dozens of gender-neutral pronouns.

A few of the most common singular gender-neutral pronouns are they, them, their (used as singular), ze, hir, hirs, and xe, xem, xyr.

These may sound a little funny at first, but only because they are new. The she and he pronouns would sound strange too if we had been taught ze when growing up.

Read the rest of the article here.

Once the suggested language spread to the wider public, the intense backlash forced the university to put out a statement insisting it wasn’t trying to phase out the traditional “he,” “she,” “him,” and “her.”

From the Daily Mail:

A statement from a university spokesman said: ‘We would like to offer clarification of the statements that have been made referring to gender-neutral language.

‘There is no mandate or official policy to use the language. The information provided in our Office of Diversity and Inclusion newsletter was offered as a resource to our campus community on inclusive practices.

‘We recognize that most people prefer to use the pronouns he and she; we do not dictate speech.

‘We do strive to be a diverse and inclusive campus and to ensure that everyone feels welcome, accepted, and respected.’

OBAMA ORDERS CHICAGO SCHOOL TO LET ‘TRANSGENDER’ BOY INTO GIRLS’ LOCKER ROOM
by WARNER TODD HUSTON
3 Nov 2015

President Barack Obama’s Department of Education has ordered a suburban Chicago school to allow a boy who claims to be a girl into the girls’ locker room, whether or not the girls or their parents like it.

The federal decision about who gets to use each toilet and shower in a distant Chicago school came after a male student sued a high school in Palatine, a northwestern suburb of Chicago. The suit claims that the student’s “civil rights” were violated by a school rule which provided the two sexes their own restrooms and locker rooms.

The school offered this singular student a special area for changing clothes and using the restroom. But the boy and his lawyer instead demanded that school officials submit to his claim that he is female and so can use the girls’ facilities.

Nationwide, only about roughly 1 in 3,000 Americans have changed their names from one sex to the other sex.

On Monday, the Obama administration showed it wants to decide the issues for all schools in the nation, from Maine to New Mexico, from Deadhorse in Alaska to Pensacola in Florida.

“All students deserve the opportunity to participate equally in school programs and activities–this is a basic civil right,” Education Department Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon insisted in a statement. “Unfortunately, Township High School District 211 is not following the law because the district continues to deny a female student the right to use the girls’ locker room.”

Obama’s agency has given the school thirty days to knuckle under to the federal mandate or risk losing the federal funding it gets from Washington.

Under pressure from activists who oppose the idea of two discrete sexes, school officials across the country have been individually creating their own policies on how to handle young people who claim to be “transgender.”

Instead of two sexes, the activists — including many gay and feminist activists — favor a government-imposed idea of “gender fluidity.” This demand would use government power to forcefully suppress the long-standing, popular, public recognition of evolved biological, social and cultural distinctions between boys and girls, and between men and women.

Conservatives says sexual differences are deeply rooted in biology and reasonable preferences, and say the gender-fluid demand would deliberately damage long-standing practices in child-rearing, education, sports, and in adult relations, and self-government by local communities.

By demanding that the Chicago area school allow the male student to use the girls facilities, Obama’s progressive officials at the Department of Education are using their financial and courtroom power to impose the policy they favor, despite the rarity of “transgender ” claims.

Just this year schools in Ohio, Missouri, and other states have recently been struck with the controversial issue.

While deciding in favor of a transgender boy and allowing him to use the girls’ facilities despite complaints by parents, a school in Ohio cited fear of constant lawsuits for its decision to allow the student to use the girls’ locker room.

But some schools are looking to go another way. Last year, for instance, a women’s college refused to allow a man posing as a woman to run for student council.

There's the story of an "agender" kid who was attacked by a nut (putting the kid into the spotlight), while on a bus, and though I'm not going to post the whole story because it's written in the typically ridiculous slant (the real story is that the kid should have been trained to self-protect), it's something on how the teen had previously chosen to decide what the future will hold.

Quote
After reading a web comic called “Poly in Pictures,” which explores polyamory, gender, sexuality and orientation, Sasha, then a 16-year-old boy named Luke, began an epistemological investigation of gender identity, asking friends and family how they knew what their gender was.

“At first I just assumed that I was this heterosexual man, because I didn’t have any reason to assume otherwise,” Sasha said one afternoon last year, sitting on the Fleischmans’ red sofa by a window festooned with a chain of paper cranes. “But I started thinking, Well, am I a guy?” Most people told Sasha that they just knew what gender they were, but Sasha didn’t feel that way.

“And so I started identifying as genderqueer,” Sasha said. “For me, at least, genderqueer includes an aspect of questioning. And that was a big part of it for me. The fact that I was questioning my gender meant that I was genderqueer.”

The parents now refer to the person as "they" and "it" at the request of the child, and by all appearances the kid is a mental wreck.  The father is terrible (I saw an interview with him, and he revealed himself very thoroughly).  

This sort of madness is what happens when kids are allowed to stay in a self-absorbed condition, 24/7.  The father has failed and he should be ashamed of himself.

Poor kid.  This kind of thing creates unnecessary confusion for young people. 

Looking at the kid's words, the whole thing is clearly based on a whim that's been allowed to turn into madness. 

As a matter of fact, that entire culture is based on rejecting reality and wasting all potential within their children.  It is sick.  Here's another paragraph, if you dare to read it.

Quote
Since preschool, Sasha had attended small, alternative schools, where challenging gender norms was unremarkable. In a Montessori middle-school grade with only 25 students, two identified as transgender, including Sasha’s best friend. Maybeck High School, with just more than 100 students, had two who were transgender and two, including Sasha, who identified as agender. Outside school, Sasha dove into virtual and real-world communities devoted to constructing alternate realities, filled with people who created new languages (known as conlangers) or who obsessed over the intricately plotted web comic “Homestuck” or who participated in Live Action Role Playing, a theatrical descendant of Dungeons and Dragons, in which costumed players acted out game scenarios in places like Tilden Park on the outskirts of Berkeley. In this world, quirkiness was not just accepted but encouraged.

Daycare Workers Fired for Raising Concerns About Transgender Child
Nov 09, 2015 // 10:02pm
As seen on The Kelly File
 
Two staff members at a Christian daycare say they were fired for voicing concern after being told to call a six-year-old girl by a new name and refer to her as a boy.

One of those workers, Madeline Kirksey, was a manager at Children’s Lighthouse Learning Center in Katy, Texas.

According to Kirksey, she and her staff were told a six-year-old female student was now identifying as a boy. The child's parents cut the girl's hair short, and employees were instructed to begin calling the child a boy's name.

Kirksey, however, did not feel comfortable with it. She told the center that other parents should know about it, adding that she was concerned about speaking on transgender matters to other children at the center. After that, Kirksey received a termination letter from the center.

In a cable news exclusive, Kirksey told Megyn Kelly that there was no consideration given by the daycare administrators about how this might affect the other children.

Kirksey revealed that she will be filing a lawsuit against the daycare.

Kirkey's attorney, Adam Taylor, said that this was a total outrage, and that's why they're filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

"What my client was trying to do was attempting to protect the dignity of all those children," Taylor said. "She was sacrificed at the altar for political correctness."

"We've got to accommodate everybody."

Charlotte City Council approves transgender bathroom ordinance over governor's protest
Published February 23, 2016
Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. –  North Carolina's largest city passed a law Monday allowing transgender people to choose public bathrooms that correspond to their gender identity, which the governor had called a threat to public safety and warned that the General Assembly may step in.

The Charlotte City Council voted 7-4 to expand protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, making it the latest frontier in a national debate on how businesses treat gay, lesbian and transgender customers. One of the revisions to the city's nondiscrimination ordinance allows people to choose restrooms corresponding to the gender with which they identify.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory — a former mayor of Charlotte, one of the 20 largest cities in the U.S. according to census figures — said in an email Sunday that changing the policy on restrooms could "create major public safety issues."

"Also, this action of allowing a person with male anatomy, for example, to use a female restroom or locker room will most likely cause immediate State legislative intervention which I would support as governor," he wrote in the email to two Council members.

The issue has been part of a national debate that included the high-profile defeat of a similar ordinance late last year by voters in Houston, and LGBT advocates worried bathroom-access fears would be used elsewhere to fight equal-rights measures. South Dakota legislators recently passed a bill requiring students to use bathrooms corresponding to their sex at birth, though it hasn't been signed by the governor.

In North Carolina, the advocacy group Equality NC issued a statement criticizing McCrory for "perpetuating the same tired and debunked myths about transgender people and public safety." Executive director Chris Sgro accused the governor and legislators of trying "to bully the Charlotte City Council with threats to strip municipalities of their rights to govern."

During the meeting, about 140 members of the public got one minute each to give the council their opinions on the measure. Because the council chambers were filled to capacity, some speakers had to stay in an adjacent room and await their time.

Materials given to the council ahead of the meeting cited some residents' concerns that sexual predators would use the ordinance to gain entry to women's restrooms for assault or indecent exposure, but it also noted that staff researchers hadn't uncovered any evidence of an increase in such crimes in cities with non-discrimination ordinances.

Before the meeting, several hundred people stood outside in a wind-driven rain to protest the proposal, holding signs with messages such as: "No Men In Women's Restrooms" and "Keep Kids Safe."

Chris Williams, a 30-year-old father of three, passed out "No" stickers to the crowd, saying most Charlotte residents "stand with religious values."

"I don't want my kids having to even question, 'Why is there this person in the restroom?'" he said. "I don't think they should even be faced with that question and that concern."

The measure adds sexual orientation, gender identity and marital status as attributes protected from discrimination when it comes to public accommodations including restaurants, retail stores and other businesses. It would take effect in April. Public school would not be affected by the law.

A similar measure was narrowly defeated by the Charlotte City Council in March 2015, even after the removal of a provision that would have allowed bathroom use based on gender identity. Local officials later announced that transgender people could use the bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity in city- and county-owned facilities.

Members of Charlotte's LGBT community said in a survey the changes are needed because they have been denied service, received poor service or experienced disparaging comments, according to supplemental materials attached to Monday's Council agenda.

Opponents of the measure — including some clergy and business owners — have sent the City Council a letter saying businesses should have the right to refuse service based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Mom Unleashes Fury After Spanish Teacher Sends Children Home With This ‘Privilege’ Assignment
Apr. 6, 2016    Mike Opelka   

The mother of a Tampa, Florida, seventh-grader is speaking out after finding an assignment given to her 12-year-old daughter and other students in Spanish class at Monroe Junior High.

The form asked, “How much privilege do you have? Circle the boxes that apply to you.”

The categories on the form listed “Race,” “Skin Color,” “Religion,” “Sex,” “Gender,” “Sexual Orientation” and “Disability.”

The options under gender included, “cisgendered,” “transgendered” or “genderqueer.”

Gina Stiles, the mother of one student in the class, was disturbed by the assignment and posted it on her Facebook page, asking, “If your child came home and told you that their teacher gave them this to fill out, what would you do?”

She told WTSP-TV that her daughter is only 12 years old and doesn’t even know many of the terms listed on the sheet.

After Stiles voiced her objection to the assignment on social media, she and a group of other parents met with Monroe Junior High Principal Pete Magara.

Following the meeting, the school district removed the teacher from the classroom and has opened an investigation into the matter.

Tanya Arja, the spokesperson for the Hillsborough County School District, told TheBlaze that the “lesson was a teacher-generated assignment without district approval.”

“We expect our teachers to provide a safe environment and this assignment could compromise that environment,” Arja told TheBlaze.

The unnamed teacher behind the assignment told local media the exercise was meant to teach students about “diversity” and “inequality.”

When Stiles heard the teacher’s explanation she told WTSP-TV, “To me that has nothing to do with Spanish. You’re here to teach my child a foreign language, not anything else.”

Good question.  I'm not sure exactly where this leads, but as I've been saying for years, it creates confusion.  There is a very small segment of the population that wants to steamroll all of society and force everyone to adopt these invented gender classifications.  Whatever happens, I don't think this ends well for society.

??? No Troll? From UPI:

Person is "Neither"

PORTLAND, Ore., June 14 (UPI) -- An Oregon court has become the first in the nation to declare a person legally neither sex.

Judge Amy Holmes Hehn ruled Friday that U.S. Army veteran Jamie Shupe, who identifies as neither male nor female, can legally gender from female to being considered nonbinary.

"It feels amazing to be free from a binary sex classification system that inadequately addressed who I really am, a system in which I felt confined," Shupe said.

Shupe was born male, later retired sergeant first class from the Army, then transitioned to female in 2013, because Shupe said, it was the only option at the time.

The ruling was described as a "historic step" toward the government's recognizing "nonbinary members of our community and ensuring they have access to identity documents that reflect who they are, just like everyone else," said Kris Hayashi, executive director of the Transgender Law Center in Oakland, Calif.

Oregon doesn't limit gender choices to male or female by law. The legal process for changing gender has been about the same as changing a name, said Shupe's attorney, Lake Perriguey.

Advocates believe Hehn's ruling might also help clear cases on other issues, such as gender-neutral bathrooms.

Oregon doesn't limit gender choices to male or female by law. The legal process for changing gender has been about the same as changing a name, said Shupe's attorney, Lake Perriguey.

Advocates believe Hehn's ruling might also help clear cases on other issues, such as gender-neutral bathrooms.


Tim Fogarty, BayGBM, etc. 

Can any one of you explain the thought process with any of this?  Can you give the overall logic to it?

Yeah, I have to admit. I'm pretty open about what people feel themselves to be, but to say you have no gender?

I'm afraid that is where I'm lost.

Tim Fogarty follows this thread, I'm sure, so maybe he'll have something to say when he sees it.

I figure if he can't string together some explanation, then it is certifiably and officially insane at that point.

The New York City Commission on Human Rights recently announced that employers, landlords and other professionals are required to use a transgender person’s preferred pronoun “regardless of the individual’s sex assigned at birth.” The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission similarly determined that failing to use a person’s preferred pronoun could violate federal anti-discrimination laws.

Federal judge urges US to grant gender neutral passport
Published July 21, 2016 
Associated Press

DENVER –  A federal judge on Wednesday urged the State Department to give a gender neutral passport to a Colorado Navy veteran who does not identify being male or female in a case that's the first of its kind in the United States.

U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson also suggested he might issue an order forcing the government to do so if it does not successfully negotiate a settlement to the legal challenge by Dana Zzyym, who was denied apassport for refusing to check "male" or "female" on the application.

Zzyym was born with ambiguous sexual characteristics and raised as a boy but later came to identify as intersex and neither man nor woman.

Government lawyers argued that moving beyond two gender choices for passports would upend officials' ability to verify identities and backgrounds because of reliance on drivers' licenses and birth certificates issued by states offering only male and female gender options.

Jackson appeared exasperated at times, saying the State Department needs to catch up to a new era in whichgender identification is not as clear as it was in the past.

"A lot of things are changing in our world," Jackson said.

It's unclear whether a settlement or a judge's order giving Zzyym's a gender neutral passport would have wider ramifications requiring the State Department to grant them to other Americans.

The State Department since 2010 has allowed transgender people to change their gender designation onpassports from male to female or vice versa with a doctor's certification.

Australia, Nepal and New Zealand issue passports that do not designate gender and citizens of those nations are allowed to enter the United States.

But the State Department demands that they state whether they are male or female when they are required to apply for U.S. entry visas.

An Oregon judge last month allowed Jamie Shupe to be legally classified as a nonbinary person, neither male nor female. That decision is also believed to be the first of its kind for the country.

Oregon officials are working on a process to allow Shupe to get a driver's license with that designation, said Shupe's lawyer, Lake Parraguey.

Parraguey said many states have similar, simple processes to change people's gender identities, similar to a name changes, and orders like Shupe's will eventually have to be honored by other states.

One of Zzyym's lawyers, Paul Castillo of the Lamda Legal civil rights group, said the organization has received inquiries from other people identifying themselves as intersex who are following the case closely and hope a decision in Zzyym's favor would help them get gender neutral passports.

NC school to teachers: Don't call students 'boys and girls'

Teachers in Charlotte, North Carolina, have been advised to stop calling the children “boys and girls,” according to a training presentation on transgender issues.

Instead, the progressives who control Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools want teachers to identify the youngsters as either “students” or “scholars.”

So what if a teacher has a student who is dumb as a rock? Would the child still be called a scholar?

The transgender guidelines, which will go into effect this month, range from the absurd to downright outrageous.

For example, boys who identify as girls would be permitted to participate on overnight all-girl field trips. That’s a rule sure to be a hit among the 13-year-olds.

Another guideline indicates parents could be left out of their child’s gender decision-making. Consider Regulation JICK-R: Privacy Concerns:

“Involvement of parents in the plan is determined in working with the student, considering the student’s age and health, well-being and safety concerns.”

In other words, Jack may be a boy at home, but at school Jack becomes Jill.

“Staff must take care not to ‘out’ a student to others, including the parents of an older student, without the student’s consent,” the presentation stated. “In contacting the parents, use the student’s name/pronoun on birth certificate unless student or parent says otherwise.”

Click here to read the book that’s driving liberals nuts – “God Less America.”

The school district also wanted to embrace gender-neutral bathrooms, locker rooms and showers. However, those edicts were placed on hold pending federal court rulings.

The NC Values Coalition posted 57 pages of training material that the district used to education faculty on LGBT issues.

The district utilized a “gender unicorn” cartoon character to explain issues like gender identity and gender expression. The make-believe character was also used to explain terms like questioning, queer, cis gender, non-binary, genderqueer and gender nonconforming.

The workshop, titled “Transgender 101,” helped teachers learn to “define and use important terms and concepts related to gender identity and identify issues facing transgender and gender expansive students.”

How the teachers in Charlotte are going to have time to teach the kids Driver’s Ed and English 101 is beyond me.

The workshop urged teachers to avoid certain words or phrases that might offend transgender students – words like transgendered, transsexual, cross-dresser and drag queen.

Under the guidelines, students would be allowed to dress in accordance with their gender identity. Dress codes at graduation and prom would be gender neutral.

It sounds like the folks who run the schools in Charlotte are so liberal that their brains have two left sides.

“It’s a radical sexual revolution being forced on our kids,” said Charlotte resident David Benham.

Benham, a well-known businessman and conservative activist, has been outspoken about the district’s policies.

“What they are doing is highlighting and exploiting the transgender community and trying to push their radical agenda on the rest of the students,” he told me.

Benham was especially bothered by the guidelines that would allow members of the opposite sex to participate in overnight fieldtrips.

“How would you like your 13-year-old daughter to be sleeping next to a boy whose hormones are at peak level? It’s craziness,” he said.

Tami Fitzgerald, the executive director of NC Values Coalition, wrote in a statement that the new policies “will seriously endanger students’ privacy and safety, undermine parental authority and severely impair an environment conducive to learning.”

So I reached out to the school district for clarification on some of the most controversial issues -- and I received several responses. I’m not quite certain they answered my questions -- but it’s a response nonetheless.

First, the district confirmed that the new expanded anti-bullying regulation is districtwide. That means all you moms and dads with kindergartners should pay attention.

Spokesperson Renee McCoy told me any decisions on overnight trips “requires the consent of all impacted students and their parents/families.”

As for whether or not the guidelines are considered to be mandated policy or regulations -- Ms. McCoy said they are “regulations.”

Regulations, she said, do not require Board of Education approval.

Also, boys who identify as girls will not be allowed to play on the athletic teams of their choosing because of North Carolina High School Athletic Association regulations.

“The current regulation states that a student’s gender is determined by the gender noted on his or her certificate of birth,” Ms. McCoy said.

I’m sure moms and dads in Mecklenburg County will continue to fight this nonsense -- but don’t expect the school district to change course.

But I’d say there’s a better chance of finding a purple unicorn at the zoo.

Pastors could face jail over Mass. anti-discrimination law
By  Todd Starnes 
Published September 12, 2016
FoxNews.com

Churches in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts have grave concerns about a new anti-discrimination law that could force congregations to accommodate the transgender community – under the threat of fines and jail time.

Click here to join Todd’s American Dispatch: a must-read for Conservatives!

The law, which goes into effect in October, does not specifically mention churches or other houses of worship. However, the attorney general, along with the government commission assigned to enforce the law, have a different point of view.

Attorney General Maura Healey wrote that places of public accommodation include: “auditoriums, convention centers, lecture halls, houses of worship, and other places of public gathering.”

The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, the commission responsible for enforcing the anti-discrimination law, reinforced that interpretation in a document titled, “Gender Identity Guidance.”

“Even a church could be seen as a place of public accommodation if it holds a secular event, such as a spaghetti supper, that is open to the general public,” the document states.  “All persons, regardless of gender identity, shall have the right to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any place of public accommodation.”

The Massachusetts Family Institute has launched a petition drive to repeal the law – warning that pastors and parishioners could find themselves in serious legal trouble.

“The law bootstraps the idea of gender identity onto existing Civil Rights laws,” MFI president Andrew Beckwith tells me. “Even having a sign in your church that says “This Bathroom is for Biological Women Only” could subject the pastor of the church to up to 30 days in jail.”

Beckwith said under the law, the sign would be treated the same as if it had said, “Whites Only.”

He said the MFI reached out to the attorney general’s office for clarification on the law and they were instructed to “get an attorney.”

“Churches are left not knowing whether it applies to them or not,” he said.

So who is going to be deciding what is and what is not a secular event?

“It shows a religious tone deafness on the part of whoever is writing these regulations,” Beckwith said. “Any pastor talk to is going to say their services and ministries and programs are open to the general public. That’s the whole point – to spread the Gospel and minister to the whole community.”

That’s a fact.

I’ve seen revival break out over the potato salad - during a dinner-on-the-grounds at a Baptist church in Mississippi.

Beckwith said he hopes churches will join their campaign to repeal the law – warning that “it’s going to have very real consequences on religious liberty.”

“If the church doesn’t defend itself from these attacks on religious liberty, they are going to cease having the ability to make the pastoral decisions they need to be able to make,” he said.

I reached out to the Mass. Commission Against Discrimination and they told me Commissioner Sunila Thomas George said there’s really no need for alarm.

“By and large, places of worship are not held to the Massachusetts Anti-Discrimination statutes that deal with places of public accommodation,” she said. “We are not by any means saying that the anti-discrimination laws absolutely apply to them.”

But, they could.

“There are circumstances where places of worship hold activities at their facilities or in their buildings that are purely secular events,” she said.

Among the activities that the state considers secular are soup kitchens, day care, housing, and polling places.

“In those circumstances, places of worship could be seen as open to the public,” Ms. George told me. “The operative word is ‘could.’”

So let’s use MCAD’s example of a church spaghetti supper. Under the state’s guidelines, that supper could fall under the anti-discrimination law.

I asked MCAD what the church would need to do to comply with the law.

“You would want to make sure that people are treated with regard to their gender identity and treated fairly and equitably,” Ms. George told me.

So what, specifically, does that mean?

“As long as people who are transitioning or who have transitioned are able to use a restroom they identity with, I think you are complying with the law,” she said. “You would want to make sure they are accommodated.

In other words, churches that hold spaghetti suppers would have to let men who identify as women use the same bathrooms as the little Sunday school girls.

The Baptist Convention of New England is among the religious groups in the region opposing the law – warning that it’s an attack on the First Amendment.

“Any attempt by a small vocal activist group to strip churches of that right should be vehemently opposed by all people,” executive director Terry Dorsett told Baptist Press. “If they can take a church’s right to practice their faith away, imagine what else they can do.”

For starters, they can tell good churchgoing folks what they can do with their spaghetti and meatballs.

Gay Group Promotes ‘Gender Ideology’ For Children
by DR. SUSAN BERRY
5 Oct 2016
(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2016/10/AP_16258765215183-640x480.jpg)


The leftwing Human Rights Campaign has joined forces with two groups of pediatricians to urge parents and teachers to let children and teenagers choose their own ‘gender identity.’

The new advocacy booklet, “Supporting and Caring For Transgender Children,” is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians. The booklet begins with the story of Jazz Jennings, a boy who decided in 2007 that he is female. Now aged 16, Jazz is a transgender activist who also sells skin-care products for Johnson & Johnson.

The guide urges parents to let their children pick their own gender and to undergo irreversible sexual surgery:

Ideally, though, the child takes the lead in these decisions … Clinicians increasingly embrace a “gender-affirming” approach to children who are gender-expansive or transgender. This approach means focusing on what the child says about their own gender identity and expression, and allowing them to determine which forms of gender expression feel comfortable and authentic

The guide gives the impression that there are “many” unrecognized transgender children:

Misunderstandings about transgender children mean that many still don’t get the support they deserve, and the consequences can be tragic. Fortunately, we know far more than ever before about what these children need to grow up safe and healthy. Across the United States and worldwide, policies and attitudes are changing to better support transgender kids.

To boost the number of gender-conflicted children, the advocacy book also create a new category of child — the “gender-expansive” child. That term is defined as, “Children who do not conform to their culture’s expectations for boys or girls. Being transgender is one way of being gender-expansive, but not all gender-expansive children are transgender.”

Though a study of the 2010 census shows the population of transgender people amounts to one of every 2,400 Americans, or 0.03 percent of the adult population, HRC states the numbers of transgendered children are growing “as more families decide to affirm their child’s gender identity.” That phrase suggests there are many additional unidentified transgender children because parents are just not affirming their “gender” choice.

HRC states its own commissioned poll found that “35 percent of U.S. likely voters know someone who is transgender,” while 12 percent of that group knew a transgender child or teen.”

The gay group and the medical groups say their guide is for “anyone who knows a transgender or gender-expansive child…and offers suggestions for adults with a transgender child in their life.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics has been a promoter of leftwing causes, especially Obamacare and the practice of urging pediatricians to ask their child patients about gun ownership during routine office visits. The organization has also issued a policy statement “urging pediatricians and politicians to work together” to “protect children from climate-related threats…”

The new push comes as President Barack Obama has begun strongly backing the new gender ideology, which says government should force Americans to accept other people’s choice of apparent gender. This year, he threatened schools with funding cuts if they don’t end the use of single-sex bathrooms and locker rooms. His administration also backed punishments for children who object to the elimination of distinct single-sex facilities or who refuse to use the female pronoun – ‘her’ – when referring to boys who wish to live as girls, and urged schools to keep parents in the dark about their children’s at-school gender-related activities.

Mainstream pediatricians and professionals are becoming very concerned about the mental health of children in America who are now being exposed to the Obama administration’s promotion of gender ideology in schools and workplaces.  These professionals signed onto an open letter that asserts the ideology is “putting the nation’s children at risk.”

The American College of Pediatricians states gender ideology is harmful to children and that, by promoting gender fluidity in its school bathroom directive, the Obama administration is complicit in masking serious mental health issues in children.

The college states:

No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one…

A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such. These children suffer from gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria (GD), formerly listed as Gender Identity Disorder (GID), is a recognized mental disorder in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-V)…

“According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty,” the College asserts. “Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.”

In contrast, HRC and its partner pediatricians’ groups say “gender dysphoria” must be averted by making sure society comforts the child;

Depending on the child’s age and signs of distress, “gender-affirmative” counseling or therapy can help manage gender dysphoria. However, in many cases, the remedy for dysphoria is gender transition: taking steps to affirm the gender that feels comfortable and authentic to the child. It is important to understand that, for children who have not reached puberty, gender transition involves no medical interventions at all: it consists of social changes like name, pronoun and gender expression.

However, once children have reached puberty, which could be any time between age 9 and 16, HRC and its partner pediatricians recommend body-altering drugs and irreversible surgery for children:

Children beginning puberty may also use puberty-suppressing medication as they explore their gender identity. Both of these steps are completely reversible.

Social transition is equally important for adults and older adolescents. People in these age groups may also take additional steps, including gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgeries.

These recommendations clash with the recommendations of Youth Trans Critical Professionals – a group of self-described “left-leaning, open-minded, and pro-gay rights” professionals. The group says it is risky to affirm young people who claim to be transgender and provide them with hormonal and surgical treatments to change their bodies.

“Our concern is with medical transition for children and youth,” say Youth Trans Critical Professionals on their website. “We feel that unnecessary surgeries and/or hormonal treatments which have not been proven safe in the long-term represent significant risks for young people.”

“Policies that encourage — either directly or indirectly — such medical treatment for young people who may not be able to evaluate the risks and benefits are highly suspect, in our opinion,” says the organization, which is composed of psychologists, social workers, doctors, and other professionals.

The professionals express “alarm” that, because of the current trendiness of being transgendered, many young people have decided they are a member of the opposite sex simply as a result of “binges” on social media sites. They describe a process of transgender activists recruiting these young people for their “cult.”

“There is evidence that vulnerable young people are being actively recruited and coached on such sites to believe that they are trans,” the professionals say.

As noted, HRC and its partner pediatricians urge only “gender-affirmative” therapy. Youth Trans Critical Professionals view state prohibitions against other forms of therapy that may help young people evaluate their feelings as dangerous since they may block the process of critical thinking and evaluation of the young person regarding the reasons why he or she desires to become a transgender member of the opposite sex.

They explain:

While the sentiment behind this legislation is laudable, in some cases, it is being interpreted to mean that therapists cannot explore gender identity with a youth who is professing to be trans. This would mean we can’t ask why; we can’t explore underlying mental health issues; we can’t consider the symbolic nature of the gender dysphoria; and we can’t look at possible confounding issues such as social media use or social contagion.

The signers of the open letter write that radical progressives promoting the gender fluid policy for young people are “distorting the law” against a flood of opposition from “the overwhelming majority of Americans.”

They add:

In addition, considering all the possible actions the federal government should be taking to keep us safe — like addressing porous borders, rising terrorism, the weakening economy, the escalating collapse of the Middle East, rising crime rates, etc. — we firmly believe that, in setting bathroom, shower and locker room policies in local schools, the federal government has exceeded its authorities while putting our children’s mental health at risk to politically-driven psychology and their very lives in peril at the hands of potential sexual predators.

The leaders urge others “to join us in opposing this grave threat to children and this abject rejection of law-making by self-government, that manner by which America’s founders intended our constitutional system to function.”

‘Third Gender’ Movement Says Growth Is ‘Exploding’
By Emily Zanotti
December 19, 2016   

It’s boom times for the “third gender” movement!

Organizers of the group trying to persuade local, state and federal governments to give people a box to check on official documents that isn’t “male” or “female” say 2016 was their most successful year ever.

Residents of Oregon and California are now able to designate themselves as “non-binary,” according to NBC News. And so far, two people, who call themselves by the “inclusive pronoun” “their,” have checked “non-binary” on state documents.
 
“It’s been exploding,” lawyers for the Intersex and Genderqueer Recognition Project told media. “It hasn’t been a slow ramping up—it’s been really fast since [the Oregon resident’s] success in the beginning of the year.”

IGRP’s lawyers say that their Facebook page has received “dozens” of messages from people “around the country” looking to designate themselves as “non-binary,” and that IGRP has already filed petitions in San Francisco to move several cases along.

But despite what IGRP considers forward movement, it’s still not making everyone in the progressive community happy. “Non-binary” people say that they still have trouble finding recognition, even in LGBTQ circles, and that some of the designations (people in the DC’s city government can now list their gender as “unknown”) aren’t specific enough.

Facebook, for instance, lists 58 separate choices under “gender” in its profile questionnaire, including “agendered,” “gender non-conforming” and “genderqueer,” choices that “non-binary” individuals say would be nice to have. Federal documentation like passports still offer only two choices —and the third-gender people are suffering because of it, the group says.

“It’s a painful hypocrisy that, simply because I refused to lie about my gender on a government document, that the government would ignore who I am,” said one litigant challenging the federal government’s passport rules. “I hope the State Department will do the right thing now.”

So can these people avoid registering for the Selective Service if they decide to state anything other than "male"? Or if they joined the military would they be held to lower physical fitness standards if they declared a gender other than "male"?

I reached out to the Mass. Commission Against Discrimination and they told me Commissioner Sunila Thomas George said there’s really no need for alarm.

“By and large, places of worship are not held to the Massachusetts Anti-Discrimination statutes that deal with places of public accommodation,” she said. “We are not by any means saying that the anti-discrimination laws absolutely apply to them.”

But, they could.

“There are circumstances where places of worship hold activities at their facilities or in their buildings that are purely secular events,” she said.

Among the activities that the state considers secular are soup kitchens, day care, housing, and polling places.

“In those circumstances, places of worship could be seen as open to the public,” Ms. George told me. “The operative word is ‘could.’”

So let’s use MCAD’s example of a church spaghetti supper. Under the state’s guidelines, that supper could fall under the anti-discrimination law.

I asked MCAD what the church would need to do to comply with the law.

“You would want to make sure that people are treated with regard to their gender identity and treated fairly and equitably,” Ms. George told me.

So what, specifically, does that mean?

“As long as people who are transitioning or who have transitioned are able to use a restroom they identity with, I think you are complying with the law,” she said. “You would want to make sure they are accommodated.

In other words, churches that hold spaghetti suppers would have to let men who identify as women use the same bathrooms as the little Sunday school girls.

The Baptist Convention of New England is among the religious groups in the region opposing the law – warning that it’s an attack on the First Amendment.

“Any attempt by a small vocal activist group to strip churches of that right should be vehemently opposed by all people,” executive director Terry Dorsett told Baptist Press. “If they can take a church’s right to practice their faith away, imagine what else they can do.”

For starters, they can tell good churchgoing folks what they can do with their spaghetti and meatballs.

I always find this amusing, the mother fuckers are always screaming separation of church and state, well until they want to force someone to do something against their beliefs.

Obama Transgender Care Rule Under Fire
Posted on January 3, 2017, by Keith Koffler

Lawsuits are mounting against the Obama administration’s new requirements for transgender care, but the issue might turn in their opponents’ favor under the incoming Trump administration, the Washington Examiner reported.

The Catholic Benefits Association, which represents more than 700 Catholic employers including many hospitals, filed a lawsuit in federal court Dec. 28 in an effort to get its members exempted from the rule. Five states and several other Christian healthcare providers are already fighting the requirement in another case against the rule. A Texas judge halted the rule over the weekend.

The rule, which went into effect Jan. 1, says that doctors can’t refuse to provide medically necessary health services within their scope of practice because of a patient’s gender identity. For instead, a gynecologist couldn’t refuse to perform a cervical Pap test for a transgender man.

California lawmakers want third-gender option on IDs
Published January 26, 2017
Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. –  Democratic lawmakers on Thursday introduced a bill supporters say would make California the first state to add a third gender option on state identifying documents.

State Sen. Toni Atkins' bill would add a non-binary gender marker option for driver's licenses, birth certificates, identity cards and gender change court orders. The San Diego Democrat says SB 179 would also simplify the process for changing one's gender on those documents.

Transgender people face discrimination in their everyday lives when they use IDs that do not match the gender they appear to be, Atkins said. The legislation would help transgender people and those who do not identify as either male or female to obtain official documents that match their gender identity, she said.

SB 179 would end the requirements that a person get a doctor's sworn statement and appear in court even if no objections have been filed when petitioning to change their gender on official documents. The bill would also allow minors to apply for a gender change on their birth certificate.

This legislation would be the first of its kind in the country, said Jo Michael, who works with Equality California, a group that advocates for LGBT rights and is co-sponsoring Atkins' bill.

"As a person who identifies as transgender and is non-binary, this piece of legislation is important to me on a personal level," Michael said during a press conference on the bill. "For the first time, Californians could have accurate gender markers that truly reflect who we are."

The federal government does not offer a third gender option for official documents such as passports. The issue drew national attention in November when a federal judge asked the U.S. State Department to reconsider its decision to deny a passport to a Colorado resident who does not identify as male or female. Government lawyers argued that moving beyond two gender choices on federal documents would hamper officials' ability to verify identities and backgrounds because they rely on state documents including drivers' licenses and birth certificates with only male and female gender options.

The California Family Council, a conservative Christian group, opposes adding gender options beyond male and female to state documents, the group's CEO Jonathan Keller said.

"We believe government documents need to reflect biological facts for identification and medical purposes," Keller said in a statement on SB 179. "Laws like this will simply erase any meaningful gender definitions, if being male or female is completely divorced from biological facts."

Sen. Scott Wiener is coauthoring SB 179 and said he thinks California should lead the way in enacting protections for transgender people.

"The trans community is under assault in this country. California needs to go in the opposite direction," the San Francisco Democrat said. "When they go backwards, we go forwards."

NBC Reports 'History': Oregon Judge Grants Right To Be ‘Agender’
By Sarah Stites | March 24, 2017

Clothing. Makeup. Emojis. And now legal status?

The genderless movement is firing ahead, fast and furious, while those who cleave to traditional views are considered anachronistic at best, and bigoted at worst.

In June 2016, Oregon Judge Amy Hehn granted legal gender “non-binary” status to Portland resident Jamie Shupe. But this month, Hehn went a step further, granting video game designer “Patch” the right to be genderless. 

NBC News contributor Mary O'Hara proclaimed:

History was quietly made in Oregon this month when a judge granted a Portlander's request to become genderless.

Patch, a 27-year-old video game designer, is likely the first legally agender person in the United States.

Patch told O'Hara that the concept of gender had always seemed foreign. Born Patrick Abbatiello, Patch now has no legal surname. “I feel no identity or closeness with any pronouns I’ve come across,” Patch said. “What describes me is my name.”

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, a model named Vinny Ohh has spent over $50,000 on surgeries intended to make him not only genderless, but alien in appearance. “When people ask me how I'd label myself,” Ohh told the Daily Mail, “I tell them an ‘extra-terrestrial, hot mess, self-obsessed’ it's becoming my slogan.”

The pronoun dance has become even more confusing. If Patch and Ohh are uncomfortable with “he,” “she” or “they,” what do you call these people?

But these concerns haven’t precluded liberals in business and media from cheering these and other developments in the gender sphere.

On March 20, Adobe typeface developer Paul Hunt penned a blog post about the impending addition of three gender fluid emoji to the iPhone. Mashable lifestyle correspondent Rachel Thompson rejoiced: “It’s certainly a big step in the right direction.”

“My wish is that adding more gender options in emoji will help us all to celebrate our unity and our diversity,” Hunt elaborated. “I advocate for everyone to feel comfortable using emoji men when we feel masculine, emoji women to express our feminine aspects, and gender inclusive emoji whenever we feel like celebrating our humanity regardless of gender.”

Clothing and beauty lines are equally on board. H&M, Zara, Milk Makeup and MAC have all run gender fluid lines or advertisements.

Milk’s most recent campaign – #BlurTheLines – features gender fluid models. “In terms of gender,” one mustached man declared, “I identify as he, man, him or queen.”

“He and she,” another stated, “only have as much power as you give them.”

Glamour and Refinery29 both touted the brand’s “big stride” and its inclusive use of “seven models of diverse genders and sexual orientations.”

Is there anything that will faze the left?

Princeton asks students to pick their gender, or genders
Published August 01, 2017
NOW PLAYING
Princeton to students: Be any gender or genders you want

Princeton University is giving its students the option of picking a gender or, reportedly, several genders.

The Ivy League’s student services interface, known as TigerHub, allows -- but does not require -- students to select one or more of the following: “Cisgender," "Genderqueer/gender non-conform[ing]," "Trans/transgender," "Man," "Woman," and "Other”.

“Students use TigerHub to provide the University with personal information on a confidential basis,” a university spokesman told Fox News.  “This information includes emergency contacts, their preferred name, and, if they wish to provide it in response to an optional question, the gender with which they identify.”

Princeton students can chose to be both male and female.

nassau hall wikimedia princetonExpand / Collapse
“You may select multiple gender identities,” the form reads. “Your gender identity is confidential and is not generally available.”

Princeton is not alone. More than 50 colleges or universities allow students to choose their genders without documentation of medical intervention, the Washington Post said.

Besides being male and female simultaneously, some schools offer students the option of creating their own designated pronouns. One such school is the University of Michigan.

In response to that option -- and as a protest against it -- one undergraduate chose “His Majesty.” Reportedly, some of His Majesty’s professors now address this student according to the royalty he identifies as.

Academics and activists are divided over the legitimacy of the relatively recent distinction between sex and gender.

“The idea that sex and gender are distinguishable is just not true. It’s a lie,” Chris Gacek, senior fellow at the Family Research Council, told Fox News.

“The purpose of the distinction ultimately is eliminating the difference between the sexes.”

But Susan Maasch, director of the Trans Youth Equality Foundation, praised the elite school for implicitly endorsing the distinction between sex and gender.

“The Ivy League schools have all taken a big role in helping trans students,” she told Fox News. “It starts there and trickles down to other students.”

Only the filt/sefie/Facebook generation could be so self absorbed as to try and make this normal. WTF.

Nobody cares enough to discriminate, they're just annoyed with people who want special treatment for perversion of social norms. Freaks have been around a long time. They were just never able to park their ass on a corner of the internet and make up a fairy tale about themselves before.

Planned Parenthood: Teach your preschoolers 'their genitals don’t determine their gender'

Published August 04, 2017
Fox News
 
Apparently children as young as 4 are not too young to be told that gender and sex are different and that their genitals don't indicate their gender, according to new Planned Parenthood guidelines for parents.

On a page of its website titled “How do I talk with my preschooler about their body?” the abortion provider says if a child inquires why boys and girls have different bodies, a parent should introduce the concept of transgender identity.

“While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn’t true for every boy and girl,” the organization says. “Boy, girl, man and woman are words that describe gender identity, and some people with the gender identities ‘boy’ or ‘man’ have vulvas, and some with the gender identity ‘girl’ or ‘woman’ have penises/testicles. Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.”

Parents should then point out to their child, the page continues, that genitals do not definitively establish gender, and that their children “can make that decision based on your values and how you plan to talk with your kid about gender as they grow up.”

Critics, mainly from conservative ranks, say Planned Parenthood’s encouragement of parents to discuss gender identity with children who barely can string a sentence together and haven’t yet learned the alphabet is preposterous.

“Gender is not fluid, either you have a penis or you don’t,” said Tim Wildmon, president of American Family Association, a Mississippi-based group that promotes conservative values. “What Planned Parenthood is promoting here is just stupidity masked as sensitivity. If you’re an adult and trying to talk to a child about whether they’re really a boy or girl, you’re at risk of harming them psychologically.”

“Unless a boy or girl is exhibiting behavior or says that they’re messed up about what they are, there’s no reason to bring something like that up” at such a young age, he said.

Critics also say that Planned Parenthood’s suggested talking points are misleading.

Cupp wrote about the guidelines. “If you do need help talking to your kids about gender and gender identity — and there’s no shame in that — please, use real science as a guideline, and not garbage propaganda.”

“The truth is, sex is more complicated today. But the conversations you’ll more likely need to have with your kids will center on technology — the dangers lurking on the internet, sexting, revenge porn — and not anatomy.”

Transgender day camp among first to include 4-year-olds
AP
7 Aug 2017

EL CERRITO, Calif. (AP) — In some ways, California’s Rainbow Day Camp is very conventional, with kids making friendship bracelets, playing basketball and singing songs. But in other ways, it’s extraordinary unique.

The day camp in El Cerrito, in the San Francisco Bay Area, caters to transgender and “gender fluid’ children, ages 4 to 12. Experts say it’s one of the only camps of its kind in the world open to preschoolers.

Rainbow officials say the camp gives kids a safe, fun place to be themselves. The camp’s enrollment has tripled since it opened in 2015, and plans are underway to open a branch next summer in Colorado.

Gender experts say Rainbow’s rapid growth reflects what they’re seeing in gender clinics around the country: an increasing number of kids coming out as transgender at young ages.

Parents Frightened: Kindergartners ‘Crying, Shaking’ over Transgender Book Teacher Read

Parents of kindergartners attending a California charter school are frightened after a teacher read her class a book about transgenderism without notifying them.
“My daughter came home crying and shaking so afraid she could turn into a boy,” one parent of a kindergartner at Rocklin Academy said.

“These parents feel betrayed by the school district that they were not notified,” Karen England of the Capitol Resource Institute said at a school board meeting this week, the local CBS affiliate reports. “The kindergartners came home very confused, about whether or not you can pick your gender, whether or not they really were a boy or a girl.”

According to the news report, the book was given to the teacher by a gender-confused child. Parents asserted the same kindergartner “also changed clothes and was revealed as her true gender” during class.

Parents expressed betrayal that they were not notified ahead of time that the kindergarten teacher read two books about transgenderism to her students, including I Am Jazz, which were reportedly given to her by the kindergartner who is in the midst of gender transition. The book was co-authored by Jazz Jennings, a teen who was born a boy but was allowed to transition to a girl.

“It’s really about the parents being informed and involved and giving us the choice and rights of what’s being introduced to our kids, and at what age,” said parent Chelsea McQuistan.

“I’m so proud of my students, it was never my intent to harm any students but to help them through a difficult situation,” said the kindergarten teacher during the meeting, who, according to the report, received support from her colleagues about the need to teach students about diversity.

“When we head in the direction of banned books or book lists, or selective literature– that should only be read inside or outside the classroom, I think that’s a very dangerous direction to go,” said seventh-grade teacher Kelly Bryson.

In a statement during the board meeting, the district said, “As indicated by Superintendent Robin Stout in a communication last week, staff will be engaging parents and teachers in discussions about how materials outside our curriculum will be addressed in the future.”

The board plans to put the item on the agenda for the September meeting.

In May of 2015, a similar incident occurred in Kittery Point, Maine, when public school officials apologized to parents of students in kindergarten through third grade for failing to notify them before their children were exposed to I Am Jazz during a lesson on tolerance and acceptance.

The forced gender ideology that LGBT groups advocate claims that biological sex is subordinate to self-declared “gender” and attempts to undermine the science-based civic understanding that there are two biological sexes – male and female.

“Most people have a sense of their gender identity at age 3 or 4,” Jo Michael, legislative manager at Equality California and transgender individual, told FOX40. “It’s important to note that the other students really do need to have that opportunity to engage and hear from the transgender student.”

More medical and research professionals are drawing attention, however, to the serious problems inherent in a phenomenon in which media hype and political debate are overshadowing actual questions about the health and psychological well-being of children. Concerns about puberty-blocking drugs – which are often used to delay children’s development into adults – can sterilize them even before they can understand how the deep biological impact of puberty will change their feelings about their emerging adult male or female body.

Researchers Paul Hruz, Lawrence Mayer, and Paul McHugh address the problem in a new paper titled “Growing Pains,” published at the New Atlantis.

The authors wrote:

There is strikingly little scientific understanding of important questions underlying the debates over gender identity — for instance, there is very little scientific evidence explaining why some people identify as the opposite sex, or why childhood expressions of cross-gender identification persist for some individuals and not for others. Yet notwithstanding the limited data, physicians and mental health care providers have arrived at a number of methods for treating children, adolescents, and adults with gender dysphoria.

The researchers explore the use of puberty suppression or blocking, in which a child or young adolescent with gender dysphoria is treated with hormones that prevent the normal progression of puberty.

“For parents of children with gender dysphoria, puberty suppression can appear very attractive,” they observed. “It seems like it might offer a medical solution for the anticipated confusion, anxiety, and distress by holding back the development of the most conspicuous features of their children’s biological sex.”

Nevertheless, the authors conclude the scientific evidence for puberty suppression as treatment for gender dysphoria is “thin,” and “based more on the subjective judgments of clinicians than on rigorous empirical evidence.”

“It is, in this sense, still experimental — yet it is an experiment being conducted in an uncontrolled and unsystematic manner,” they warn.

According to the Associated Press, Jennings’ mother, Jeanette, acknowledged the same, agreeing that hormone treatments were “experimental stuff.” She said, “I am messing with my kid’s body.”

Jazz began hormone blockers when she was 11 years old “to ward off male puberty” and began estrogen treatments the following year.

“I was a girl trapped in a boy’s body,” Jennings said two years ago after landing her own reality television show at TLC and scoring a deal with Johnson & Johnson to be the face of its #SeeTheRealMe campaign for Clean and Clear skincare products.

Kindergartners Upset by Transgenderism Presentation at School
By Michael Reagan
Tuesday, 05 Sep 2017

C. S. Lewis once wrote about the danger to a young mind posed by biased instruction at school and how it can distort the child’s outlook for all time. "The very power of [textbook writers] depends on the fact that they are dealing with a boy: a boy who thinks he is 'doing' his 'English prep' and has no notion that ethics, theology, and politics are all at stake. It is not a theory they put into his mind, but an assumption, which 10 years hence, its origin forgotten and its presence unconscious, will condition him to take one side in a controversy which he has never recognized as a controversy at all."

Unfortunately the leftists running schools of education know this, too. They are using pliable teachers to indoctrinate very young children with unscientific and patently false ideology regarding sex.

Or, as one wag warned parents, "If you send your kids to Caesar for their education, don’t be surprised when they return as Romans."

Parents in Rocklin, California learned this the hard way. A kindergarten teacher decided to introduce 5-year-olds to "transgenderism" by reading two books and holding a demonstration. She read "I am Jazz" and "The Red Crayon" two propaganda volumes designed to brainwash ages 5 through 8 regarding trendy "transgenderism."

Then the teacher, and I use the word loosely, sprang the show-stopper. She introduced a 5-year-old boy to the class, took him into the bathroom, and had the child re-emerge as a girl.

The woman then re-introduced the boy as a girl and said "she" now had a girl’s name and would be called that in the future.
This is obscene.

A 5-year-old can’t enter into a binding contract, can’t drive a car, and wouldn’t be allowed to diagnose himself at the hospital, yet purported medical professionals and educators are willing to let this boy decide he’s actually a girl and begin the "transition" to that sex.

LifeSiteNews contacted Michelle Cretella, president of the American College of Pediatricians, who firmly stated, "All children should be told the truth that sex does not ever change and cannot be changed." Cretella denounced, " . . . institutions that promote transition affirmation" as engaging in "nothing less than institutionalized child abuse" that can inflict "untold psychological damage."

And that’s just for this misguided boy. But the school’s "lesson" damaged the normal children. Jonathan Keller, of the California Family Council, spoke to parents and learned, "There were several of the little girls that went to their parents and were crying and saying, 'mommy or daddy, am I going to turn into a boy?'" And a boy who hadn’t given "gender" a single thought before is now asking his mother if he can dress as a girl for school.

Parents, naturally, are outraged and the school, equally naturally, is hiding behind a twisted interpretation of the law to justify indoctrinating children without informing parents.

Parents who don’t want their children exposed to the twisted propaganda face a stark choice. They can either home-school their children. Make sure the children spend every Sunday in church and Sunday School, where God’s natural order is taught — with major potential benefits for the parents, too.

Or they can take their chances with indoctrination at school.

Christian Parents May Sue School Allowing Six-Year-Old to Change ‘Gender Identity’
by LIAM DEACON
11 Sep 2017

A Christian family is preparing to sue a school for allowing children to change their ‘gender identity’ on a daily basis, and for implying parents who oppose are bigoted and “transphobic”.
Much of the mainstream media has claimed the parents are opposed to boys wearing a dress. But their legal representatives have said clothing is “trivial” and the issue is about “ideology” and confusing very young children.

Nigel Rowe, 44, and his wife Sally, 42, removed their six-year-old son from an unnamed school after a classmate was declared “transgendered” and came to the school demanding to be recognised as female on some days.

The family now intends to educate the boy at home on the Isle of Wight alongside his eight-year-old brother, who was pulled out of the same school a year ago when a boy in his class also started claiming to be transgendered.

Mr. Rowe told The Sunday Times: “A child aged six would sometimes come to school as a girl or sometimes come to school as a boy. Our concerns were raised when our son came back home from school saying he was confused as to why and how a boy was now a girl.

“We believe it is wrong to encourage very young children to embrace transgenderism, boys are boys and girls are girls. Gender dysphoria is something we as Christians need to address with love and compassion, but not in the sphere of a primary school environment.”

The couple’s lawyers are expected to argue the school is discriminating against them by implying their wish to bring up their sons as Christian is ‘transphobic’.

Andrea Williams, of the Christian Legal Centre, said: “Six-year-olds are far too young to consider issues as complex as gender and sexuality.”

However, the school has defended its behaviour by claiming pupils are protected under the Equalities Act of 2010 and stating: “The refusal to acknowledge a transgendered person’s true gender” was “transphobic behaviour”.

Back in 2015, Breitbart London exposed how police funding was being used in Cornwall to distribute pro-transgender ideology literature, targeting children as young as 4 years old, in primary schools, aiming to “support” transgenderism in schools at the “earliest stages”.

Similar documents were launched in Cornwall and Brighton and Hove in 2013, with the latter described as a “Trans Inclusion Schools Toolkit”.

Some studies have found that 70 to 80 per cent of children who report transgender feelings spontaneously lose them as they grow up; another concluded that transgender feelings in children are much more likely to persist when adults in authority, such as teachers, tell them they have the wrong body

Despite this evidence, in 2016 the government’s ‘Transgender Equality Inquiry’ called for all teachers and “all further education staff” to have “gender identity awareness training” and demanded that “trans issues” become “mandatory” on school curriculums.

New California law allows jail time for using wrong gender pronoun, sponsor denies that would happen
Brooke Singman By Brooke Singman, Fox News

California health care workers who “willfully and repeatedly” decline to use a senior transgender patient's “preferred name or pronouns” could face punishments ranging from a fine to jail time under a newly signed law.

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation last week.

The sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener, has argued adamantly that nobody is going to be criminally prosecuted for using the wrong pronoun.

“It’s just more scare tactics by people who oppose all LGBT civil rights and protections,” he said in a statement last month.

But the language seemingly allows for the possibility, however remote.

The bill itself is aimed at protecting transgender and other LGBT individuals in hospitals, retirement homes and assisted living facilities. The bill would ensure those facilities accommodate transgender people and their needs, including letting them decide which gender-specific bathroom they prefer to use.

"It shall be unlawful for a long-term care facility or facility staff to take any of the following actions wholly or partially on the basis of a person’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status," the bill reads.

California legislator calling for jail time for caregivers refusing to us preferred names of transgender residents Video
Bill proposes punishment for not using preferred pronouns

Among the unlawful actions are “willfully and repeatedly” failing to use a transgender person’s “preferred name or pronouns” after he or she is “clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns.”

The law states that if provisions are violated, the violator could be punished by a fine “not to exceed one thousand dollars” or “by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year,” or both.

Wiener's office noted that violations for residential care facilities under existing law rarely resulted in criminal charges, especially for minor violations. Criminal penalties are meant more for violations that expose a patient to risk of death or serious harm, his office said.

Wiener’s office noted that the law “does not create any new criminal provisions,” but rather creates “new rights within an existing structure.”

One opponent of the law, the California Family Council's Greg Burt, slammed the measure when the bill was in its early stages. 

“How can you believe in free speech, but think the government can compel people to use certain pronouns when talking to others?” he said to the California Assembly Judiciary Committee in August, according to CBN News.

Report: Pink Raising Her Children to Be Gender-Neutral

(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2017/12/PinkGenderNeutral-640x480.jpg)

4 Dec 20171

Pop star Pink says she is raising her children to be gender-neutral because her family lives in a “label-less household.”

The singer, who is 38 and married to motorcycle racer Carey Hart, 42, told the U.K.’s The People she does not want her children defined by their gender. Pink said she is delighted her 6-year-old daughter Willow told her she wants to marry an African woman when she grows up.

“We are a very label-less household,” Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, explained, “Last week Willow told me she is going to marry an African woman. I was like: ‘Great, can you teach me how to make African food?’”

“And she’s like: ‘Sure mama, and we are going to live with you while our house is getting ready,’” Pink continued. “I was like ‘what the f**k, who are you? Who is paying for this by the way?’”

The performer of international hit “Get the Party Started,” Pink is a champion of the new gender ideology that does not acknowledge the science of two biological sexes – male and female.

“I was in a school and the bathroom outside the kindergarten said: ‘Gender Neutral – anybody’, and it was a drawing of many different shapes,” she said. “I took a picture of it and I wrote: ‘Progress’. I thought that was awesome. I love that kids are having this conversation.”

The Grammy-winner says though she enjoys motherhood, she considers herself to be a “pre-teen boy,” according to The People’s report.

“I do bake sales and lemonade stands,” she explains. “I take my kid to school and try to get there on time. I’m a f**king grown up now, it’s so weird. I’m still a 12-year-old boy.”

The singer added that her daughter has created a nickname for the U.S. president. Willow reportedly refers to him as “Donald Duck Trumpet.”

“I don’t correct her,” Pink said. “And I should, because it’s disrespectful, but it’s like – ‘f**k it’. I feel like we are all in this ­permanent state of f**k it. I can’t imagine being a third-grader and this being the first example of what it means to be president.”

“I throw my hands up in the air every day,” the singer, whose album Beautiful Trauma has gone to number one in the U.K. and around the world. “It’s unbelievable. It’s not funny at all. It’s un-f**king-believable. I want to skip ahead to the part that it’s over and we start the clean-up process.”

Christian Teacher Suspended for ‘Misgendering’ Trans Pupil Sues School
by LIAM DEACON
12 Dec 2017

A Christian teacher is suing his secondary school after being suspended for referring to a biologically female pupil as a “girl”.
Joshua Sutcliffe, 27, from Oxford, argues that he was not trained in the new, quickly evolving, gender politics and should not be forced to accept transgender ideology as a Christian.

He says he was investigated and suspended after he said, “well done, girls” to a group of female pupils, including a pupil who “identified” as a boy.

The teacher says he apologised immediately after the incident, but documents seen at the time showed that he had also referred to the pupil with the feminine pronouns “she” and “her” on other occasions.

The Christian is now suing the school for constructive dismissal and discrimination.

Mr. Sutcliffe later told senior staff that he didn’t think it was wrong to call a biologically female pupil a girl, but insists he did not use the term on purpose because he is a professional.

Now, he is arguing that forcing him to abide by transgender ideology, despite his personal beliefs, has breached his rights.

In a letter to the head teacher, he wrote: “As a Christian, I do not share your belief in the ideology of transgenderism.

“I do not believe that young children should be encouraged to self-select a ‘gender’ which may be different from their biological sex.

“Or that everyone at school should adjust their behaviour to accommodate such a ‘transition’; or that people should be punished for lack of enthusiasm about it.”

A statement released by the Christian Legal Centre, who are representing him, explained that Mr. Sutcliffe hadn’t received formal training on transgender ideology.

“The child had self-declared as ‘male’, but Mr. Sutcliffe, who had been given no formal instruction on how he was to refer to the pupil, said ‘well done girls’ in her (sic.) presence,” the statement said.

“When the pupil became irate, Mr. Sutcliffe sought to diffuse the situation and apologised.

“Nonetheless an investigation began, during which time Mr. Sutcliffe was prevented from teaching and forced to spend all his time in isolation in the staff room.

“Following the week-long investigation, the school found Mr. Sutcliffe to have ‘misgendered’ the pupil, ‘demonstrating discriminatory behaviours’ and ‘contravened the school’s equality policy’.”

NYC School Cancels Father-Daughter Dance to Comply With New Gender Guidelines
Feb 04, 2018 // 12:27pm
As seen on Fox & Friends

Ingraham: Comey FBI, Obama DOJ & Clinton Campaign 'Colluded' Against Trump

Gowdy: FISA Memo Does Not 'In Any Way' Discredit Mueller Investigation

A Staten Island elementary school cancelled its traditional father-daughter dance because of the Department of Education’s (DOE) new gender guidelines.

PS 65 had the event scheduled for Friday, February 9, until the school's parent-teacher association realized it would not comply with the Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Student Guidelines, which went into effect in March 2017.

The school’s PTA will reschedule a dance for kids and caregivers of any gender on March 2, according to the DOE.

“Father-daughter dances inherently leave people out. Not just because of transgender status, just life in general,” said Jared Fox, the DOE’s LGBT community liaison. “These can be really uncomfortable and triggering events.”

Some parents are outraged at the move.

“They’re trying to take away everything that everybody grew up on and has come to know, and I don’t think it’s fair or right,” Matthew West, a father of two daughters at the school, told The New York Post. “They should leave it the way it was — father-daughter, mother-son.”

“It’s not fair at all,” said Jose Garcia, who’s gone to past dances with his daughter. “I have nothing against no one, but I don’t think that it should affect the school, or the kids for that matter.”

“All this gender crap needs to just stop,” said mom Akaia Cameron, adding her third-grader had a “great time” with dad last year.

Donald Trump Jr. reacted on Twitter, writing, "This nonsense really needs to stop."

Report: Modern Culture Is Not Just Revealing Transgenders, ‘It Is Creating Them’
(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2018/02/Transgender-EMMANUEL-DUNANDAFPGETTY-IMAGES-640x480.jpg)
TransgenderEMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP/GETTY IMAGES
by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.
17 Feb 2018

All scientific evidence indicates that gender identity disorders result principally from cultural causes and moreover, modern society is facilitating them, according to an analysis published Friday.
Writing for the Catholic World Report, Anne Hendershott chronicles an exploding “transgender industry” illustrated by a massive surge in the number of referrals for gender-identity treatment, in some cases increasing by as much as 2800 percent in less than ten years.

Western societies such as the UK, Sweden, Australia, and the USA have seen a spectacular rise in the number of persons, especially young people, seeking treatment for gender identity issues, paralleling the attention given to gender theory in communications, medicine, and the entertainment media.

In the U.S., the percentage of adults who currently identify as transgender is double what is was in 2011, according to the best estimates.

None of this should come as a surprise, Hendershott notes. In the year 2000, bioethicist Carl Elliott published a ground-breaking article in the Atlantic Monthly titled “A New Way to be Mad,” which foretold this rapid growth in gender-identity issues by comparing them to past psychological epidemics.

“Why do certain psychopathologies arise, seemingly out of nowhere, in certain societies and during certain historical periods, and then disappear just as suddenly?” he asked.

Elliott suggested that psychiatrists and other clinicians helped to create the psychological epidemics in the past “simply by the way they viewed the disorders—by the kinds of questions they asked patients, the treatments they used, the diagnostic categories available to them at the time, and the way these patients fit within those categories.”

His fundamental thesis—backed up by abundant data and persuasive argumentation—is that rapid growth of a particular psychological disorder may often be abetted, if not directly caused, by the very ones who are purportedly treating it, as well as by society at large.

In a particularly insightful passage, Elliott wrote:

By regarding a phenomenon as a psychiatric diagnosis—treating it, reifying it in psychiatric diagnostic manuals, developing instruments to measure it, inventing scales to rate its severity, establishing ways to reimburse the costs of its treatment, encouraging pharmaceutical companies to search for effective drugs, directing patients to support groups, writing about possible causes in journals—psychiatrists may be unwittingly colluding with broader cultural forces to contribute to the spread of a mental disorder.

By one possible read, he proposed, once “transsexual” and “gender-identity disorder” and “sex reassignment surgery” became common linguistic currency, “more people began conceptualizing and interpreting their experience in these terms. They began to make sense of their lives in a way that hadn’t been available to them before, and to some degree they actually became the kinds of people described by these terms.”

In other words, it is quite possible that our cultural and historical conditions “have not just revealed transsexuals but created them,” he wrote.

If this thesis is true, “we can expect tremendous growth, as an entire industry is emerging to meet the growing need,” Hendershott writes.

It is, in fact, already happening all around us.

“From education specialists designing ‘safe schools’ for transgender children, to transgender practitioners, publicly funded medical clinics, reimbursement schedules, and a growing body of academic work and activism, the transgender industry has exploded,” she writes.

One clear scientific indicator of the principally cultural rather than biological roots of gender disorders is their uneven distribution among the population. If gender-identity disorder were truly a biological fact, it would be equally distributed throughout the population, whereas we find that it isn’t.

Unsurprisingly, data from the Williams Institute reveals that the highest percentage of transgender-identified adults live in Washington, DC. In fact, the district of Columbia has nearly double the number of transgender individuals as the next highest state (Hawaii).

The percentage of individuals living in the Washington, DC, who identify as transgender is 2.8 percent—“more than triple the percentage of those living in the next highest states of Hawaii or California,” Hendershott observes.

“As far back as 2013, the New York Times pronounced Washington, DC, the ‘gayest place in America,’ with a thriving transgender population. There is an annual ‘DC High Heel Drag Race’ held in DuPont Circle,” she adds.

Citing the findings of a meta-analysis of other studies published in The New Atlantis by Dr. Lawrence Mayer and Dr. Paul McHugh, Hendershott writes that “the hypothesis that gender identity is an innate, fixed property of human beings that is independent of biological sex—that a person might be a ‘man trapped in a woman’s body’ or a ‘woman trapped in a man’s body’ is not supported by scientific evidence.”

All of this suggests that the current transgender boom may just be getting started and we can expect it to continue swelling, perhaps until another disorder du jour arises to take its place.

Tucker, LGBTQ Activist Debate Legislation Allowing Kids To Change Gender, Race Without Notifying Parents
CHRISTIAN DATOC
Breaking News and Engagement Editor
02/28/2018

LGBTQ activist Mark Purpura tried defending on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Wednesday a new proposal in Deleware that would allow children, through the assistance of their school, to change their gender or race without informing that child’s parents.

“The simple fact is that some parents are simply not going to be supportive of their child and may endanger the child’s safety or well-being to involve that parent in that decision,” Purpura, executive director of Equality Deleware explained.

“Who makes that decision?” Tucker Carlson countered.

“The school would make the decision but I think what’s missing here,” Purpura began to answer before Carlson, a Daily Caller co-founder, took control of the conversation.

“What’s missing is outrage,” he shot back at Purpura. “The school has no right to take away parental decision-making from parents. The children do not belong to school administrators. They are members of the family from which they came. How dare a school take that prerogative away from parents. Where did they get the right to do that?”

The pair continued to shout over each other until Purpura made the argument that the Deleware legislation isn’t that revolutionary.

“This regulation is similar to policies that have been implemented across the country in Oregon and Washington and Massachusetts,” he argued.

“Ok, going back like about six months,” Carlson laughed. “This has never happened in human history. We didn’t used to believe three years ago that you could change your sex or your race. So this is all brand new. So at least pay me the compliment of acknowledging this is brand new. This has never been tried.”

I cannot even talk stink about Canada this time, because we are doing the same thing in the U.S.  Where does this end?  We already have parents allowing their kids to pick the gender they want to be. 

Service Canada employees asked to avoid using Mr., Mrs. or Ms. as well as mother and father
By Staff   The Canadian Press
March 21, 2018

Families Minister Jean-Yves Duclos defended Service Canada‘s decision to ask its employees to adopt gender-neutral language when interacting with the public, as members of the opposition mocked the policy mercilessly.

According to a directive issued to managers and team leaders, employees of Service Canada are asked to use gender-neutral or gender-inclusive language to avoid “portraying a perceived bias toward a particular sex or gender.”

Workers are instructed to use a client’s full name or ask how they would prefer to be addressed instead of using honorifics such as Mr., Mrs. or Ms., which “can be seen as gender specific by a client,” reads the memo, which was first obtained by Radio-Canada.

Workers also being asked to eschew the terms “father” and “mother” in favour of “parent.”

Some members of the opposition were quick to criticize the directive, including Conservative MP Alain Rayes, who described it as “ridiculous.”

Rheal Fortin, the former Bloc Quebecois MP who now sits as an Independent, concurred, saying, “it’s bordering on harebrained.”

“I almost want to say I’m glad they don’t have any bigger problems than that at Service Canada,” he joked.

But Duclos told reporters Wednesday that Service Canada’s policies are a matter of respect.

He specified in a tweet the government department would continue to use Mr. or Ms. when interacting with Canadians.

Duclos’ press secretary, Emilie Gauduchon-Campbell, said the directive was issued in response to requests from members of the public who criticized Service Canada for a lack of inclusivity.

Helen Kennedy, executive director of national LGBTQ human rights organization Egale Canada, praised Ottawa’s directive as “a good first step,” but said it needs to be accompanied with more awareness training and education around non-binary and gender-neutral language.

“Some people may be very well-intentioned but they may not have the understanding or knowledge that they need in order to ask the right question in a manner that’s not going to be offensive,” she said in a phone interview.

The backlash from the opposition is a sign of how far Canadian society still has to come when it comes to inclusion, she said.

“Issues around gender-neutral language are extremely important, and they may not be important to the opposition but, I can tell you, they’re very important to members of our community,” Kennedy said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declined to respond Wednesday morning to the initial Radio-Canada report, saying he needed more time to look into the matter.

Nets Fear Trump Administration ‘Changing Definition of Gender’...to Definition of Gender
By Kyle Drennen | October 22, 2018

In a series of truly mind-boggling reports on Monday, all three network morning shows bizarrely accused the Trump administration of considering “changing the definition of gender” by simply reversing Obama-era regulations that actually did change the definition of gender by abandoning the scientific and biological meaning of the term.

The NBC, ABC, and CBS broadcasts all seized on a Sunday New York Times article that warned, “‘Transgender’ Could Be Defined Out of Existence Under Trump Administration.” The fearful Times story was based on a draft memo that the paper obtained from the Department of Health and Human Services, detailing a policy proposal that may or may not be implemented.

On NBC’s Today show, co-host Hoda Kotb fretted: “The Trump administration is considering changing the definition of gender. So, what is that all about?” White House Correspondent Kristen Welker summarized:

Well, Hoda, The New York Times is reporting that the Trump administration is considering that move that would define the term “transgender” essentially out of existence. So the question is, how would that happen? Well, the administration would narrowly define gender as a biological condition determined at birth.
Viewers could be forgiven if they heard that statement and thought the administration’s proposal accurately defined gender. Instead, Welker confidently described how wrong it supposedly was:

That change could significantly roll back protections of transgender people under federal law. Now, the Obama administration infuriated conservatives with a series of decisions that expanded federal protections for those who are transgender by recognizing gender largely as an individual’s choice and not determined at birth.
Moments later, she cited left-wing activists denouncing the potential policy: “The Human Rights Campaign said such a move would set a destructive precedent.”

“And according to The New York Times...the Trump administration is considering rolling back protections for transgender people by narrowing the definition of gender to a biological condition determined at birth. Gender would be defined as only male or female,” worried fill-in co-host Cecilia Vega during a news brief on ABC’s Good Morning America.

She also cited the Human Rights Campaign bashing the possible move as “a destructive precedent.”

“The Trump administration reportedly is taking steps to remove all legal protection for transgender Americans,” decried co-host Norah O’Donnell on CBS This Morning. She further proclaimed:

The New York Times says the Department of Health and Human Services is working to create a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal law that bans sex discrimination....Now, it would, quote, “define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with.” Now, that policy would wipe out Obama-era regulations outlawing discrimination against people who change their sexual identity.
Just to clarify, the Obama administration changed the legal definition of gender to appease liberal interest groups. Now, the Trump administration is thinking about changing the definition back to the scientific one used throughout all of human history and is being accused of trying to redefine gender.

Aren’t journalists supposed to accurately report facts instead of parroting political spin that creates an alternative reality?

That's not what the definition says:

"Gender identity or expression" includes a person's actual or perceived gender, as well as a person's gender identity, gender-related self-image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression, regardless of whether that gender identity, gender-related self-image, gender-related appearance, or gender-related expression is different from that traditionally associated with the person's sex at birth.

So it's not as simple as penis and vagina.

As stated a lot of fuckwits etc inflicting their mentaly ill views on everyone else.

Times have changed - very much so And in many ways not for the Better.

You must have poor vision then.

Although it's rare, 1.7% of the population are born intersex or hermaphroditic. They can have any of several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals that, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies".

Laws are written to satisfy a teeny, tiny portion of the population. Which is what these people are, pushed in our faces by the media.

Your right. Only 3% of adolescents identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. A more conservative 2016 estimate suggests that in America there are 1.4 million people or approximately .6% who identify as transgender .

I seriously doubt those estimates are conservative, I would say those estimates have been blown way out of proportion. Same with homosexuality. The media blows it up, throws it in the publics face 24/7 and suddenly everyone is gay/transgender, when in reality the numbers are far lower than what the liberal media portrays.

Yeah - transgender is statistically insignifcant.

And my view on are that I couldn't care less - to each his/her own.  However, if they are on test, then they can't compete in HS or college athletics, reardless of who they are competing against.  Should be treated the same as any athlete taking PEDs.

True.  That's why I call them the most powerful lobby of my lifetime.  They have accomplished more than any group of its size in a short period of time.  We have gone from a time when both political parties overwhelming supported traditional marriage to supporting people who want to not only pick their own gender, but that of their kids, regardless of biology.  Obama supported traditional marriage before his money-induced epiphany.  That wasn't very long ago.

Good luck with that.  People can now self-identify as the opposite gender.  We are in a time now where a man can decide he is a woman and compete in women's bodybuilding.  Or a boy can claim he is a girl and compete in girl's sports. 

I don't think people who are trying to cram these social experiments down our throats have thought these things through.

From Now On, A NYC Newborn's Gender Can Be 'X'
By HANK BERRIEN
January 2, 2019

On Wednesday, for the first time in its history, New York City offered a third option for parents of newborn babies or anyone choosing not to identify as male or female: changing or setting the gender of a birth certificate to “X.”

That third option, bypassing male and female, became available courtesy of a law signed by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio in early October that went into effect on January 1. De Blasio stated that the law allowed citizens the freedom to "tell the government who they are and not the other way around … Imagine if you were told you were something that you did not consider yourself to be." He addressed transgender New Yorkers, saying, "You be you. Live your truth. And know that New York City will have your back."

De Blasio had said in June, “Pride Month is a time to celebrate how far we’ve come in the fight for equality, and re-affirm our commitment to protecting all New Yorkers from discrimination. This proposal will allow transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers to live with the dignity and respect they deserve, and make our City fairer.”

Corey Johnson, the Speaker of the New York City Council, who introduced the legislation, added:

You don't need a doctor to tell you who you are and you shouldn't need a doctor to change your birth certificate to reflect your true self. This groundbreaking legislation will make New York birth certificates more inclusive for all and will send a powerful signal to the world that New York City government works for everyone. Now more than ever, it's important for us as elected officials to show our constituents that we see them, we have their backs, and we respect them for who they are. I want to thank my Council colleagues for their support and to the de Blasio Administration for their continued commitment to making this a New York City for all.

NPR reported, “New York City is the first municipal government with such legislation. Those living in the city but not born there do not fall under its law.” NBC News noted that New York City was the fifth state in America to have such a law, “California, Oregon, Washington state and New Jersey. Three states and Washington, D.C., also allow gender-neutral driver licenses.”

As National Review reported after the New York City Council passed the bill in September, before de Blasio signed it, “Under current law, transgender New Yorkers must submit documentation from a physician certifying their non-binary status. But under the new legislation, set to take effect January 1, 2019, those born in New York City will be permitted to submit an affidavit requesting a gender-identity change absent a doctor’s note.”

Do you have resources which counter these estimates? They may be inflated, but until someone can prove otherwise, they may be the bet we have. Not that the actual number of LGBTQ folks is all that important. Some suggest that there is a full spectrum of sexual preferences/orientations.

Gender neutral birth certificates to be available in NJ come February
Updated: Jan 04, 2019

New Jersey birth certificates will now include a third, non-binary label come Feb. 1, under a new law that expands transgender rights in the Garden State.

Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Babs Siperstein Bill into law last July.

The new legislation gives parents the option of choosing a gender-neutral or non-binary identity on their child's birth certificate. It also allows adults to change the gender marker on their birth and death certificates, without proof of reassignment surgery.

"Just because your sex assigned at birth is one thing, it does not necessarily mean that it is something that's going to be consistent with your gender identity throughout your life,” says Ashley Chiappano with the group Garden State Equality.

Chiappano says that there is a difference between sex and gender.

“Sex is more like a label. When we’re talking about sex, this is assignment by a doctor,” she says. “Gender identity goes even further to say that it’s how you feel on the inside and how you express yourself. It's how you express yourself through your clothing, your behavior, your personal appearance."

The new law is named after Edison resident Babs Siperstein, the first elected transgender member of the Democratic National Committee in 2012.

New Jersey joins Oregon, California and Washington, which have all approved similar legislation. New York City also just changed birth certificates to be gender neutral.

Seems to me gender neutral birth certificates would be limited to those who are born intersex. "Intersex people are born with any of several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals that, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies"."

If you are born with a penis and balls you're a male. Likewise, if you're born with a vagina and ovaries you are a female. If you later come to believe you got the wrong equipment and want your identity to reflect who you are, change I.D. issued from that point on. There should be no gender do-overs on birth certificates. You were what you were then and you are what you are now. anything else is a false representation.
 
My brother-in-law was married with four kids. Years later when he divorced his wife, he claimed they never consummated their marriage. He did this so he could marry his girlfriend in the Catholic Church and the Church allowed this, rendering his children bastards, which of course they weren't. How wrongheaded is this?  

You cannot redo your past no matter why or how much you want to.

They are not limited to that tiny percentage of intersex birth defects.  Any parent in New Jersey and other places that have adopted this allow parents to decide what gender their kid will be, regardless of biology.

I know this. And in my opinion, it is untrue and it is wrong. Not that it means a hill of beans to me either way. People will do what they want to regardless of what I think. Honestly, I couldn't care less what someone's birth certificate reads. What I do care about is the dishonesty involved.

I am splitting hairs here, but I'm not sure being born intersex is a birth defect so much as it is congenital. Sometimes, it is not even detectable at birth.

When I was 15 my mom falsified my birth certificate by changing my birth date to make me 16 so I could get a driver's license a couple of months early. When I later requested a new original, it was something of a hassle. I still have the one she 'doctored' in my files and it is such an obvious fake that it is laughable. The folks at the DMV must have been blind or she slipped them a few bucks.  :)

Parents should not be allowed to determine their babies sexual identity for them. The doctor said, "It's a boy!" The parent replies, "But, I wanted it to be a girl. Change my baby's birth certificate to reflect what I want or at least make 'it' gender neutral." So now the doctor exclaims, "It's an it!" What a bunch of bullshit.

I highly recommend this book, which is available on Amazon.

Supreme Court Revives Ban on Transgender Military Service
New York Times
By Adam Liptak
Jan. 22, 2019

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday revived the Trump administration’s policy of barring most transgender people from serving in the military. In a brief, unsigned order, the justices temporarily allowed the ban to go into effect while the case moves forward.

The vote was 5 to 4. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented.

The policy, announced on Twitter by President Trump and refined by the defense secretary at the time, Jim Mattis, generally prohibits people identifying with a gender different from their biological sex from military service. It makes exceptions for several hundred transgender people already serving openly and for those willing to serve “in their biological sex.”

Challenges to the policy have had mixed success in the lower courts. Trial judges around the nation issued injunctions blocking it, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, is expected to rule soon on whether to affirm one of them.

On Jan. 4, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated a third injunction, that one issued by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a federal trial judge in Washington. The appeals court said its ruling was “not a final determination on the merits.” But it handed the administration at least a provisional victory.

The Supreme Court granted stays of two other injunctions, issued by Federal District Court judges in California and Washington State, both in the Ninth Circuit.

Solicitor General Noel J. Francisco, representing the administration, had argued that the stays were needed to address a troubling phenomenon.

“It is with great reluctance that we seek such emergency relief in this court,” Mr. Francisco wrote. “Unfortunately, this case is part of a growing trend in which federal district courts, at the behest of particular plaintiffs, have issued nationwide injunctions, typically on a preliminary basis, against major policy initiatives.”

“Such injunctions previously were rare, but in recent years they have become routine,” he wrote. “In less than two years, federal courts have issued 25 of them, blocking a wide range of significant policies involving national security, national defense, immigration and domestic issues.”

The administration had also asked the justices to immediately hear appeals, an unusual request when an appeals court has not yet ruled. The court turned down those requests.

The Supreme Court’s rules say it will review a federal trial court’s ruling before an appeals court has spoken “only upon a showing that the case is of such imperative public importance as to justify deviation from normal appellate practice and to require immediate determination in this court.”

In a separate brief, Mr. Francisco wrote, “This case satisfies that standard.”

“It involves,” he wrote, “an issue of imperative public importance: the authority of the U.S. military to determine who may serve in the nation’s armed forces.”

He told the justices that prompt action was required to ensure that the Supreme Court could rule before its term ends in June. The alternative, he said, was to defer Supreme Court arguments in the matter to the term that starts in October, with a decision probably not coming until 2020.

But lawyers for current and prospective members of the military challenging the policy said there was no need to upend the status quo while the case proceeded.

“Transgender people have been serving openly in all branches of the United States military since June 2016, including on active duty in combat zones,” their brief said. “Transgender individuals have been permitted to enlist in the military since January 2018.”

“The government has presented no evidence that their doing so harms military readiness, effectiveness or lethality,” the brief said.

The hundreds of people grandfathered in under the new policy, the brief added, “cannot be squared with the government’s claims of urgency to eliminate all other transgender personnel.”

Dem. Senator Bans ‘He/She’ Pronouns During Legislative Hearings
Grammar police preparing to issue citations
By Katy Grimes
20 Jan 2019
(https://californiaglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/KBS_8796-1210x642.jpg)

California State Senate Judiciary Committee chairwoman Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) announced Thursday that only “gender neutral” pronouns will be permitted during committee hearings. No more will Sen. Jackson allow “he” or “she” to be used when referring to a male or female; “they” will be the only allowed pronoun.

Acknowledging this incorrect grammar, Jackson said since California passed a law recognizing the non-binary designation as a gender, “he and she, we are now merging them so we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over: we are using the phrase ‘they’ and replacing other designations so it’s a gender neutral designation.”

“In the spirit of gender neutrality for the rules of this committee, we now designate the chair as ‘they,’” Jackson said, referring to herself as “they.” Or should we say “oneself,” referring to a gender neutral subject with a reflexive pronoun? And isn’t Sen. Jackson a “chairwoman” and not a “chair?”

As silly as this sounds, Sen. Jackson has the authority to make this change. Pursuant to the California Constitution, the Legislature has authority to do what they want for their committee rules.

6-Year Old Texas Boy On Track For Repressed Puberty Due To Gender Dysphoria Diagnosis
Little James is comfortable being a boy when he's around his dad and other friends. So why is his mother dressing him as a girl and calling him Luna?
By Walt Heyer
JANUARY 29, 2019

As reported in an earlier article concerning a Dallas, Texas, custody case, when in the care of his mother six-year-old James attends first grade obediently dressed as a girl enrolled under the name “Luna.” But when with his father, where he’s given the choice of boy or girl clothes, James chooses boy clothes and refuses to wear girl clothing. Despite this inconsistent behavior, a gender therapist has given James a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

In response, heartwarming things have happened in the fight to save James. A team of designers volunteered their services to update the savejames.com website and another caring friend started an online petition directed to Texan representatives to do something to prevent this kind of abuse of children. Generous people donated to the father’s legal expense fund, raising half of what is needed.

But the father, Jeff Younger, is still hampered by a shortage of finances to secure expert witnesses and perform a forensic custody evaluation to change the outcome for James.

Follow-Up Visit
After writing the first article about James, I arranged to visit Jeff and his six-year-old twin sons in Texas. We met on a Thursday evening during the boys’ usual two hours of visitation with their father. To keep the time casual, Jeff suggested we spend the time with his good friends, the Scott family and their four young children, who always enjoy time together.

Jeff and I drove across town to the mother’s home to pick up the boys. As we pulled up, the front door opened, and the two young boys came flying out. James was dressed as a boy, like his brother. Into the backseat they went, saying hi to their dad and to me before they started talking about Ninja Turtles and other things they had done at school. Not one smidgeon of gender dysphoria or “girl talk” appeared during the drive back to the Scott home.

The next two hours were supervised and playful bedlam. Jeff brought out a toy popular with this bunch of friends—plastic swords and shields. Immediately, all six children were joyfully absorbed in rough-and-tumble swordplay with their fathers and each other.  A pleasant dinner followed, and then the children went off to other playtime activities.

I observed James’ mannerisms, voice inflections, and interactions, looking for evidence of gender dysphoria. I can emphatically say that during the two hours of the visit I saw no sign of gender dysphoria. James indicated no desire to be a girl, nor did he behave like a girl or talk like a girl during the entire time. Both James and his brother happily engaged with the four Scott children and the adults. Both were talkative, demonstrated strong vocabularies, and eagerly showed off their artwork created during a previous playdate.

I asked Jeff why James was dressed as a boy when he ran out of mom’s house. Jeff explained that James prefers to dress as a boy, even at his mother’s, except when he goes to school dressed as a girl.

After observing James and his behavior, I cannot see how his counselor at Dallas Rainbow Counseling could have diagnosed James with gender dysphoria. She spent time with James and his father, where James showed a preference for being a boy. Even if James preferred a girl name in sessions with his mother, it is a huge leap to a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. He’s only six, after all.

A misdiagnosis cannot be ruled out, and a prudent next step is a comprehensive psychological assessment to explore why he identifies as a girl with mom and as a boy with dad. Per the custody order, the only parent authorized to oversee James’ psychological counseling is his mother.

A Single Diagnosis Is Not Enough
A single therapist’s diagnosis of gender dysphoria has put James on a life-changing protocol known as the Dutch protocol. (The Dutch protocol lacks scientific basis, yet clinics are adopting it.) The protocol consists of social transition to acting like the opposite sex, and hormone blockers.

Social transition is the first step. James’ mother has enrolled him in first grade as a girl with a girl name and dresses him as a girl for school. Social transition for a young child is not harmless. It’s grooming. My grandmother dressed me as a girl when I was 4, 5, and 6 years old, which led to my own gender confusion.

The next step is administering drugs to block the necessary and natural process of physical maturity and puberty, as early as age 8. Dr. Michael Laidlaw, an endocrinologist practicing in Rocklin, California, says, “What parents should find truly terrifying is the psychological effect of this medication.”

Early evidence shows a troubling effect: All of the children put on blockers continue towards sex changes. The blockers themselves seem to influence children to transition. In vivid contrast, 60 to 90 percent of trans kids who are not reinforced in this desire or put on puberty blockers are no longer trans by adulthood. In other words, most trans children naturally grow out of it as they go through puberty, if they are not socially locked into an opposite-sex identity and puberty is not blocked.

Puberty blockers and the following step, cross-sex hormones, are known to cause serious side effects, including infertility. Children are not able to understand these consequences or give informed consent.

James is on track to be given these drugs.

Another opinion is so clearly needed. It’s easy to see why this father is alarmed and fights so hard for his boy. An intervention is clearly needed and needed now. A second opinion needs to come from someone who is not a cheerleader for diagnosing gender dysphoria and preparing a child for a sex change. The ideal counselor will explore the family dynamics and other contributing factors.

If the current counselor is solid in her belief the gender dysphoria diagnosis is indisputable and fixed, she should support getting a second opinion in the best interests of the child.

Cross-Dressing Young People Will Influence Their Future
The case of James is very troubling to me because I know how the story unfolds. My grandmother dressed me as a girl when I was 4, 5, and 6 years old. Like James, I was far too young to comprehend the long-term consequences of being encouraged to cross-dress at such a young age, much less fight back. In my child’s mind, it felt good to be the center of her attention. Now I call what grandma did to me “child abuse” because her grooming of me as a female negatively affected my entire life.

In adulthood, I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and underwent unnecessary cross-gender hormone therapy and surgical gender change. I lived eight years as a woman and tried my best to make it work, but after surgery I still had gender dysphoria. Even worse, I was suicidal. Before giving me hormones and surgery, my medical providers should have helped me explore the possible psychological roots of my desire to escape into a female persona, but none did.

I’m not the only one whose life was hurt by the rush to change gender. I have heard from so many trans adults who ask me for advice in going back to their sex at conception that I compiled 30 people’s emails into a book, “Trans Life Survivors.” Several people in the book transitioned in their teens but when they hit their twenties, their feelings of gender dysphoria changed. They grew out of it, but only after making irreversible changes to their bodies, including the ability to have children, and losing years of their life to an alternate identity.

Help James From Being Locked In
Jeff and his lawyer are pursing action through the court to save James, but public response is still very much needed. Even after a generous outpouring of support, Jeff is still hampered by a shortage of finances to secure expert witnesses and perform a forensic custody evaluation.

This case is not only about one six-year-old boy, but about all children who will get locked into a trans life by a gender dysphoria diagnosis and a parent’s endorsement of social transition and hormone blockers. If Younger can prevail in proving the diagnosis of gender dysphoria and the resulting treatment is misguided, this Texas case has the potential to save other young children from similar gender identity nightmares.

6-Year Old Texas Boy On Track For Repressed Puberty Due To Gender Dysphoria Diagnosis
Little James is comfortable being a boy when he's around his dad and other friends. So why is his mother dressing him as a girl and calling him Luna?
By Walt Heyer
JANUARY 29, 2019

As reported in an earlier article concerning a Dallas, Texas, custody case, when in the care of his mother six-year-old James attends first grade obediently dressed as a girl enrolled under the name “Luna.” But when with his father, where he’s given the choice of boy or girl clothes, James chooses boy clothes and refuses to wear girl clothing. Despite this inconsistent behavior, a gender therapist has given James a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

In response, heartwarming things have happened in the fight to save James. A team of designers volunteered their services to update the savejames.com website and another caring friend started an online petition directed to Texan representatives to do something to prevent this kind of abuse of children. Generous people donated to the father’s legal expense fund, raising half of what is needed.

But the father, Jeff Younger, is still hampered by a shortage of finances to secure expert witnesses and perform a forensic custody evaluation to change the outcome for James.

Stop it! I'm too old to learn new pronouns. If it looks like a girl I'll address it as such. If someone looks like a guy, I will use male pronouns. If it looks like an it, I won't bother to figure this out and simply ask and call them by their name.

Prime, your two rational posts on this page are really fucking with my head right now.  Did your account get hacked?  I know you've said you're an older gentleman a few times....Did you fall, and hit your head?  When's the last time you've been to the Dr.?  I'm just concerned sir!   ;D

Seriously though "Congrats!  It's an it!" should be turned into a meme for sure!

California Wants to Teach Kindergartners There are 15 Genders    
By: Alex Newman
Published : January 18, 2019

The California Department of Education is working on a plan to teach kindergartners that there are at least 15 different “genders.” The materials under the scheme also claim it is impossible to know whether babies are boys, girls, or something else, because they cannot talk yet. Parents will not be notified and are not allowed to opt their children out of the indoctrination sessions.

According to a report in FaithWire, the proposed changes would be implemented under a revision to the state's “Health Education Framework” to be voted on in May. The scheme says it “supports the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes” across a range of areas including “sexual health,” which serves as a catch-all to teach children all manner of perversion and evil.

One of the recommended books, titled “Who Are You? The Kid's Guide to Gender Identity,” purports to provide “a straightforward introduction to gender for anyone aged 4+.” The book claims, among other absurdities, that grown-ups “make a guess” about what gender babies are “by looking at their bodies.” The cover features a boy in a dress and a girl climbing a tree.

Meanwhile, a chapter in the health framework guidelines explains to teachers how to teach “sexuality” to kindergarten children. “Discuss gender with kindergartners by exploring gender stereotypes and asking open-ended questions, such as what are preferred colors, toys, and activities for boys/girls, and then challenging stereotypes if presented,” it reads.

Then, the teacher should continue to confuse the children. “Throughout this discussion, show images of children around the same age who do not conform to typical gender stereotypes,” the instructions read. “Examples do not have to be exaggerated or overt. Simple differences, such as colors or toy preferences, can demonstrate acceptance of gender non-conformity.”

Of course, preaching this sort of madness to vulnerable and impressionable children captive in a government classroom has devastating effects. As The Newman Report documented last year, a study from the University of California, Los Angeles, found that more than one fourth of children in the state between the ages of 12 and 17 are “gender non-conforming.”

The new proposed guidelines, which are even more extreme than the previous ones, also call for encouraging middle-school students to fornicate with multiple people at the same time. “Some students may be non-monogamous and the term ‘partner(s)’ may be used to be more inclusive,” reads the material, which aims to normalize perversions that would have been unthinkable just a generation ago.

Among the examples offered is “polyamory,” which is defined as “the practice of, desire to, or orientation toward having consensual non-monogamous relationships (i.e. relationships that may include multiple partners).” Another option is “polyfidelity (which involves more than two people being in romantic and/or sexual relationships which is not open to additional partners), amongst many other set-ups.”

What exactly any of this perversion has to do with “health” was not made clear — especially since encouraging this sort of promiscuity and fornication leads to all sorts of venereal diseases, some of which can be deadly. Ironically, some of the sex propaganda is taught under the guise of preventing venereal disease.

On the gender-bending madness, the American College of Pediatricians has said that encouraging children to believe they can change genders by taking hormones and mutilating their genitals is “child abuse.” In other words, these schools are institutionalizing the abuse of children.

This sort of dangerous indoctrination will have the effect of destroying morality, destroying families, destroying lives, and ultimately, because families are the building blocks of civilization, destroying civilization itself. And that is exactly the point.

The government's indoctrination centers have become a mortal threat not just to the children entrusted to their care, but to the very civilization that birthed them. The consequences are going to be devastating.

House Votes to Effectively Ban Women's Sports
Terence P. Jeffrey
By Terence P. Jeffrey | May 22, 2019

At the 2016 Olympic trials, sprinter Tori Bowie ran a lifetime best of 10.78 in the 100-meter dash.

But English Gardner edged her out, running 10.74.

A month later, at the Rio Olympics, Bowie won the bronze in the 200-meter dash, the silver in the 100-meter dash, and — running with her USA teammates — the gold in the 4x100-meter relay.

All these races — in the Olympics and Olympic trials — featured women competing against women.

Even though she was one of the fastest women in the world, Bowie would not have won competing with males.

Doriane Lambelet Coleman, who as a student at Cornell in the 1980s was the U.S. National Collegiate Indoor Champion in the women's 800-meter race, is now a law professor at Duke. Together with her colleague, Wickliffe Shreve, she has explained why Bowie would not win the male competition.

"If you know sport, you know this beyond a reasonable doubt: there is an average 10-12 percent performance gap between elite males and elite females," Coleman and Shreve wrote in an analysis published online.

"The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it's still insurmountable and that's ultimately what matters," they wrote.

"Translating these statistics into real world results," they wrote, "we see, for example, that: Just in the single year 2017, Olympic, World and U.S. Champion Tori Bowie's 100 meters lifetime best of 10.78 was beaten 15,000 times by men and boys. (Yes, that's the right number of zeros.)"

This brings us to Washington, D.C., where the legality of all-female athletic competition is now a matter of legislative debate.

Democratic House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York has described the so-called Equality Act as a bill that "amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other core civil rights statutes to explicitly prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity."

In the Judiciary Committee report on the bill, published this month, dissenting Republicans quoted Coleman's analysis at length.

Why?

"The new legislation would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act by redefining 'sex' to include 'gender identity,'" Republican Rep. Greg Steube of Florida explained in a House floor speech last week.

"Without an exception, the definition would apply to all amendments to the 1964 act, including Title IX," he said. "Most schools, colleges, the NCAA, and the Olympic Committee would be affected because they receive federal funds and operate in interstate commerce."

"For example," he said, "a sports team couldn't treat a transgender woman differently from a woman who is not transgender on the grounds that the former is male-bodied. Yet the reality is that putting male- and female-bodied athletes together is co-ed or open sport. And in open sport, females lose."

"Requiring that biological females face competition from biological males will mean the end of women's sports in any meaningful sense," Steube said.

In the Judiciary Committee, Steube had made a straightforward effort to stop the Equality Act from effectively banning women's sports. He offered an amendment that said: "Nothing in this act may be construed to require a biological female to face competition from a biological male in any sporting event."

The committee rejected Steube's amendment. No Democrat voted for it. No Republican voted against it.

When the Equality Act came up on the House floor last Friday, Steube tried again to amend it to protect women's sports.

This time his motion would have added language to the bill that said: "Nothing in this Act or any amendment made by this Act may be construed to diminish any protection under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972."

Title IX says: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

The House rejected Steube's proposal 181 to 228. One Democrat voted for it, and one Republican voted against it.

The House then passed the Equality Act 236 to 173.

The champions of this bill do not deny that it would allow biological males to compete in women's sports.

Democratic Rep. Katie Hill of California took to the House floor to specifically champion this cause.

"State schools and athletic organizations across the country have found for many years that letting LGBTQ student athletes, including girls and women who are transgender, participate in sports does not harm women's and girls' sports in any way," she said.

"As an athlete, athletic success is based on so many factors, like individual ability and strength, and those abilities vary widely for people who aren't even trans," she said. "It has nothing to do with whether someone is transgender or not."

Nadler echoed that view. "Transgender individuals play sports, and sometimes they win and sometimes they lose, just like everyone else," he said.

This bill will not pass the Republican Senate.

But it is another indicator of how the American left's radical agenda forces it to deny objective facts. To justify their abortion agenda, they have long needed to argue that some human beings are not human beings.

To justify their transgender agenda, they now argue that not all boys are boys.

Transgender hurdler easily wins NCAA women's national championship

A hurdler who competed as a man last year won an NCAA championship in women’s hurdles over the weekend.

CeCe Telfer of Franklin Pierce University easily won the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Division II outdoor track-and-field championships Saturday, winning the final race by more than a second. Telfer also finished fifth in the 100-meter hurdles, earning All-America honors.

“It was tough conditions out here with the wind and the heat over the last three days, but as she has over the last six months, CeCe proved herself to be tough enough to handle it,” said Zach Emerson, head coach at the school in Rindge, New Hampshire. “Today was a microcosm of her entire season; she was not going to let anything slow her down. I’ve never met anybody as strong as her mentally in my entire life.”

According to Turtleboy Sports, Telfer was born Craig and competed in the men’s division as recently as January 2018.

In an analysis of Telfer’s performance in three conference-winning races earlier this season at the Northeast 10 conference championship, Turtleboy Sports reported that the three times — in the 60-meter dash, the 60-meter hurdles and the 200-meter dash — did not measure up to the male finalists, but won women’s races.

Most of the gaps were not small for races this short — Telfer would’ve trailed the last-placed male finalists by more than a half-second in the 60-meter dash and almost 1.7 seconds in the 200, but won the woman’s 60-meter hurdles by a half-second.

The hurdles are 6 inches shorter in the women’s contest than in the men’s race, and Telfer was a fully-grown male of 21 upon beginning gender transition.

Under NCAA bylaws, according to the Blaze, a biological male undergoing gender transition treatments can compete in the women’s division after one year.

“it is important not to overgeneralize” about transgender women having unfair physical advantage from a lifetime of a man’s body, the NCAA says in a guidance document on transgender athletes.

Vermont to Allow Taxpayer-Funded Transgender Sex Reassignment Surgeries for Children
DR. SUSAN BERRY
13 Jun 2019

Children and teens in Vermont who claim to be transgender could soon be able to have taxpayer-funded sex reassignment surgeries without having to wait until they are 21.
A new rule proposed at the end of May will allow children and teens covered by Medicaid and who have parental consent to begin sex reassignment surgeries at younger ages, said Nissa James, Department of Vermont Health Access policy director, reported the Burlington Free Press.

@4th_WaveNow
 State of Vermont moves to eliminate any lower age limit for SRS and all other transition-related surgeries, such that a minor of any age can get the surgeries with parental consent. Medicaid (public insurance for low income people) will pay for it.https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/2019/06/12/vermont-opens-door-gender-affirming-surgery-youth-transgender-trans-kids/1381261001/ …

Vermont opens door to allow 'gender-affirming surgery' for transgender youth
A proposed tweak to the state's Medicaid rules would eliminate the requirement that a transgender person be over 21 to seek surgery.

burlingtonfreepress.com
96 people are talking about this

The sex reassignment surgeries covered by Medicaid include 16 types of genital surgery as well as breast augmentation or mastectomy.

According to the report, Dr. Rachel Inker, who heads the Transgender Health Clinic at the Community Health Centers of Burlington, welcomed the new rule.
 
“Having young people have to wait until they were 21 just didn’t really make any sense,” Inker said.

The Free Press continued:

The choice to have surgery is a personal one that should be explored in every age group, Inker said, although people who are young enough can be given puberty-blocking treatments to inhibit development of secondary sex characteristics like breasts or facial hair.

Older teens may have already developed those characteristics, Inker said, and face going to college or getting a job while their gender identity and gender presentation are mismatched.

She cited young transgender men wishing to get top surgery to remove breast tissue as an example of the kind of procedures commonly requested by teenagers between 16 and 18.

4thWaveNow, a coalition of “parent-skeptics who question medicalizing gender-atypical youth,” tweeted about the new Vermont rule:

So it's within the realm of possibility that one of the toddlers identified as "trans" by Woke parents and their doctors could be a candidate for genital surgery. Why not? If they're "true trans," what would be the reason to wait? Cue the next specialty: Preschool SRS surgeons.

In order to receive the Medicaid coverage for sex reassignment surgeries, requirements include a clinical evaluation stating the surgery is a “medical necessity” and a referral from a “qualified mental health professional.”

The documentation of the “qualified mental health professional” is to include “diagnosis of persistent gender dysphoria” and documentation of the child’s “participation in a treatment plan in consolidating gender identity.” In addition, the mental health professional must demonstrate the child has been counseled with regard to “treatment options and implications.”

Vermont is one of 18 states in which militant LGBTQ activists have been successful in convincing enough lawmakers that normal counseling for children and teens who claim to experience discomfort with their biological sex must be banned.

The laws that ban so-called “conversion therapy” seek to crush the notion that children who claim to be a gender that is incompatible with their biological sex are psychologically impaired. Despite clinical evidence that many of these children come from families with significant psychological dysfunction, LGBTQ activists have pushed the narrative that the high rate of suicidal ideation found in this population is due solely to the lack of immediate affirmation of the perceived gender identity.

A study published in August by Dr. Lisa Littman, an assistant professor of behavioral and social sciences at Brown University, found 87 percent of teens were reported by their parents to have “come out” as transgender after increased time spent on social media and the Internet and after “cluster outbreaks” of gender dysphoria among their groups of friends.

Most of the teens who claimed to be transgender had also already been identified with at least one mental health disorder.

The study drew the ire of LGBTQ activists.

Dr. Quentin Van Meter, an Atlanta pediatric endocrinologist who trained at Johns Hopkins University when “transsexualism” was first studied, told Breitbart News in September that, since gender ideology has been forced on the American people, “every single transgender patient who has come to me has come from a totally dysfunctional family.”

“There’s nothing normal about the environment where these children are brought up,” Van Meter explained. “There are emotional traumas left and right. It is so obvious that what we’re doing is painting over the trauma.”

Children and teens who present for counseling with concerns about gender issues in states that have passed therapy bans must be immediately “affirmed” as their perceived gender, without the normal evaluation process that occurs in counseling young people. In these states, mental health professionals who choose to explore with the child the possible reasons for the gender dysphoria could be stripped of their license to practice.

A review of the issue of gender dysphoria in young people in 2018 in the Atlantic highlighted the problem that arises when legislative “bans” on mental health treatment are lobbied by LGBTQ rights organizations that seem to know little about the psychological development of children:

The Human Rights Campaign’s “Transgender Children & Youth: Understanding the Basics” web page … asserts that “being transgender is not a phase, and trying to dismiss it as such can be harmful during a time when your child most needs support and validation.” Similarly, parents who consult the pages tagged “transgender youth” on GLAAD’s site will find many articles about supporting young people who come out as trans but little about the complicated diagnostic and developmental questions faced by the parents of a gender-exploring child.

According to the Free Press, Dana Kaplan, executive director of Outright Vermont, emphasized the proposed rule to make sex reassignment surgery available to children is necessary because a “staggering” percentage of young people claiming to be of another gender have thought about suicide.

“When a kid gets to the point where they say ‘I really, really need this to be comfortable in my body’ — again, why would we get in the way of that?” he said.

Library Deletes Photos of Children Fondling Drag Queens During ‘Story Hour’
(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2019/07/Drag-Queen-Story-Hour-1-640x480.jpg)
In this Saturday, May 13, 2017 photo, Lil Miss Hot Mess reads to children during the Feminist Press' presentation of Drag Queen Story Hour at the Park Slope Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, in New York. About once a month since last fall, the Brooklyn Public Library has been …Mary Altaffer/AP Photo
DR. SUSAN BERRY  22 Jul 2019

A public library has deleted photos of small children lying on top of drag queens and fondling their false breasts at a Drag Queen Story Hour.

Multnomah County Library, the library system serving Portland, Oregon, quietly removed from Flickr the photos of the Drag Queen Story Hour that took place at St. John’s Library and then circulated on Facebook, leading to a backlash.

LifeSiteNews archived the photos of a laughing Hudson lying on the floor, arms outstretched, as young children buried themselves in his body and fondled him.

“Activist Mommy” Elizabeth Johnston observed the photos were first noticed when a Facebook user posted them along with a statement: “I wouldn’t let my kids crawl on top of random strangers no matter how said strangers are dressed.”

The photos were brought to the attention of LifeSiteNews, which also noted the library had posted additional photos depicting toddlers and young boys dressed in feather boas.
 
“The goal is to normalize abnormal, sexually deviant homosexual behavior by enticing children to first: question their sexuality,” said pro-family activist Georgia Kijesky, according to the pro-life media outlet. “The more children see men dressing up as women, the more normal it will become.”

The Blaze subsequently reported that Jeremy Graybill, Multnomah County Library’s marketing and online engagement director, said the Drag Queen Story Hour events “explore ideas of difference, diversity and inclusion through stories, music and costume.”

“The library serves a diverse population with a broad range of interests, preferences and needs,” Graybill explained. “We strive to reflect our communities’ needs in selecting programs, books and other materials.”

He said the library’s policies ensure performers “provide a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for all,” adding:

Presenters and performers are instructed to follow library behavior policies and rules of conduct that protect the interest and safety of presenters, volunteers, staff and library patrons. Parents and caregivers are present at every program.

Concerns about safety at the Drag Queen Story Hour events made headlines recently when pro-family organization Houston Mass Resistance discovered drag queen Alberto Garza, who uses the name Tatiana Mala-Nina when reading to young children, had been convicted in 2008 for sexually assaulting an eight-year-old boy. The Houston library system had failed to perform a background check on Garza or any of the other drag queens appearing in its programs.

The Multnomah County Library’s schedule of events indicated the Drag Queen Story Hour’s target audience is “children 2-6 years old with a favorite adult” and is advertised as “kid-friendly drag.”

“The readings will be followed by a craft or dance party,” the library added. “This program encourages kids to look beyond gender stereotypes, and fosters empathy and creativity.”

Writer Libby Emmons observed at the Federalist:

If the photos are innocent, showing inclusion and queer diversity, then why take them down? Even assuming these story hours were concocted with the best intentions, it seems crazy that librarians could be so blind to the reality that drag, as entertaining and culturally campy as it is for adult audiences, is not sex ed but sex entertainment, and not for kids.

Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit litigation organization, observed Friday that the recent national conference of the American Library Association (ALA) provided librarians from across the United States strategies for arranging Drag Queen Story Hours and for bringing LGBT agenda materials into public libraries without parents’ knowledge.

Workshops at the conference, which was held in June and attended by more than 21,000 people, included titles such as:
 
A Child’s Room to Choose: Encouraging Gender Identity and Expression in School and Public Libraries; LGBTQ+ Creators and Characters in Kids, Tween, and Teen Comics; Reading the Rainbow: Teaching Kids about Pride and LGBTQ+ History; Are You Going to Tell My Parents?: The Minor’s Right to Privacy in the Library; and Telling Stories, Expanding Boundaries: Drag Queen Story Times in Libraries.

Liberty Counsel reported another breakout session on how to promote LGBT-themed children’s literature, emphasizing titles such as My Brother’s Husband, Lumberjanes, and Pregnant Butch.

“Taxpayer-funded public libraries have no business promoting sexual perversion, gender confusion and pornography to children,” said Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel chairman. “Parents do not want their children exposed to this kind of gutter trash. The American Library Association is now actively grooming innocent children for sexual abuse and causing irreversible harm to them.”

Alabama Law Seeks to Block Transgender Athletes from Competing Against Girls
(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2020/01/Jae-S.-Lee_Dallas-Morning-News-via-AP-640x480.jpg)
WARNER TODD HUSTON  10 Jan 2020

An Alabama state representative is sponsoring a bill to require transgender students to compete in school sports under their birth gender.

Mobile, Alabama, Rep. Chris Pringle, is sponsoring the “Gender is Real Legislative (GIRL) Act” meant to restrict school sports to birth gender, AL.com reported.

“Gender is real,” Rep. Pringle said in a press release. “There are biological differences between boys and girls that influence athletic performance. The GIRL Bill seeks to support female student-athletes so that they may compete against each other and not have to compete against male students with an unfair advantage.”

Sanders: Soleimani Killing Broke International Law, Will 'Unleash Some Very, Very Terrible Forces'

The bill adds that the state’s schools would be barred from participating in any league or organization that allows biological boys to compete as girls in sports that are supposed to be exclusively for biological for girls.

The bill also prevents any government-owned or operated sports facility from allowing biological boys from competing as girls.

The bill would, though, allow transgender players in co-ed sports.

Rep. Pringle’s bill echoes similar bills being introduced in other states.

For instance, a bill was filed by Georgia Rep. Philip Singleton that bill aims to eliminate the “unfair advantage” transgender athletes might have over biological girls.

Like the bill in Alabama, the Georgia bill would bar transgender youth from competing under their assumed gender at any publicly supported sports facility.

In another case, a Tennessee lawmaker recently filed a similar bill, as did a Republican lawmaker in Washington State.

Similar bills affecting transgenders are proliferating across the country. A bill was introduced in Massachusetts that would bar mental health counselors from aiding kids to become transgender.

CA Bill Would Make It Illegal For Stores To Display Children's Clothes By Gender
Holly Matkin
California Democratic Assemblyman Evan Low said he drafted the bill at the behest of an eight-year-old girl.

Sacramento, CA – California lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it illegal for stores to separate children’s clothes and toys according to gender.

Assembly Bill 2826, sponsored by Democratic Assemblyman Evan Low, would abolish “girls’ aisles” and “boys’ aisles” at all retail department stores that employ at least 500 workers, The Sacramento Bee reported.

The stores would be required to display children’s products in a gender-neutral location, “regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys,” according to the bill.

Failure to comply with the new law would result in a fine of up to $1,000.

“Unjustified differences in similar products that are traditionally marketed either for girls or for boys can be more easily identified by the consumer if similar items are displayed closer to one another in one, undivided area of the retail sales floor,” according to the bill.

Separating items according to gender also “incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate,” the bill read.

Separating kids’ products “pigeonholes children,” Low said in press release.

“No child should feel stigmatized for wearing a dinosaur shirt or playing with a Barbie doll,” he said. “It also incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate.”

Low claimed he drafted the bill at the behest of the young daughter of one of his staff members, The Sacramento Bee reported.

According to his office, the child said she thought it should be illegal for stores to have separate boys’ and girls’ sections because she didn’t like them arranged that way.

“I was inspired to introduce this bill after 8-year-old Britten asked, ‘Why should a store tell me what a girl’s shirt or toy is?’” Low said in the release. “Her bill will help children express themselves freely and without bias. We need to let kids be kids.”

Parents’ reactions to the proposed law change have been mixed.

“As a mom of two toddlers, if I have a boy and a girl, having it centralized where I don’t have to run around the store is a great idea,” Chloe Gannage told KSBY.

Others disagreed, arguing that there was no reason for the government to force department stores to create a single children’s department.

“We want raise our daughter to know she’s a girl, that’s how she was born, that’s how she will live and our sons that they were born boys,” Candice Miller told KSBY. “I want my daughter to dress like a girl and I want my boys to dress like boys and I want those sections to be separated.”

If passed, the proposed legislation would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.

Now "biological male" is offensive?  So much for science.

USA Today Strikes ‘Male’ From Female Runner’s Op-Ed About Men In Women’s Sports After Publication
MAY 27, 2021 By Jordan Davidson

USA Today retroactively edited an article written by a student that affirmed biological sex to instead appease a woke mob.

The original article, authored by collegiate track star Chelsea Mitchell, detailed how authorizing biological males who claim to be females to participate on women’s high school or college sports teams ultimately hurts female athletes.

“I was the fastest girl in Connecticut. But transgender athletes made it an unfair fight,” Mitchell wrote. “That’s because males have massive physical advantages,” she went on to say later in the article, and “I’ll never know how my own college recruitment was impacted by losing those four state championship titles to a male.”

Days after the corporate media outlet published the column, however, USA Today editors caved to pressure from activists and deleted all mentions of the word “male” in the article, replacing them with “transgender” to avoid offending the captious complainers.

“This column has been updated to reflect USA TODAY’s standards and style guidelines,” the editor’s note at the top of the article states. “We regret that hurtful language was used.”

Florida Becomes Latest State to Ban Transgender Girls From Sports
JOSEPH SALVADOR

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill on Tuesday banning transgender girls and women from competing in women's scholastic sports. (Elementary school athletes are not included.)

“In Florida, girls are going to play girls’ sports, and boys are going to play boys’ sports,” DeSantis said, according to the Miami Herald.

DeSantis signed the bill on the first day of Pride Month, but he denied that he was trying to send a message with the timing.

"It’s not a message to anything other than saying we’re going to protect fairness in women’s sports," he said.

The same day, the LGBTQ civil rights group the Human Rights Campaign announced its intention to sue the state.

“Governor DeSantis and Florida lawmakers are legislating based on a false, discriminatory premise that puts the safety and well-being of transgender children on the line,” the organization’s president, Alphonso David, said in a statement. “Transgender kids are kids; transgender girls are girls. Like all children, they deserve the opportunity to play sports with their friends and be a part of a team.”

Florida is the latest and most populous state to pass a law banning transgender girls and women from school sports, joining Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, Tennessee and West Virginia.

South Dakota also implemented a similar law through executive order.

The American Civil Liberties Union announced recently that it would be filing a lawsuit against West Virginia for its transgender ban. The ACLU has also promised more lawsuits were to come for any states that pass similar legislation.

Gone are the days when you can assume someone who looks like a woman is a biological woman, especially with the internet, makeovers, filters, etc.  The dating scene has to be an absolutely frightening place.  Check out this recent story:

Virginia Tech linebacker accused of beating man to death over Tinder catfishing
By Joshua Rhett Miller
June 10, 2021
A freshman Virginia Tech linebacker charged with murder told police he fatally beat a man — breaking every bone in his face — for catfishing him on Tinder, prosecutors said.

Ismemen David Etute, 18, told cops he went to the Blacksburg apartment of 40-year-old Jerry Smith in April for oral sex after matching up with someone named “Angie” on Tinder, the Roanoke Times reported.

Etute then returned to the apartment on May 31 for another meet-up, at which point he discovered the person he had matched up with this time was male, according to Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jason Morgan, citing details the now-suspended linebacker told cops.

Etute told investigators he punched Smith five times in the face and “stomped” on him, but didn’t call police despite hearing “bubbling and gurgling” from the victim as he left the apartment. Cops found the badly beaten man’s body one day later, the newspaper reported.

The linebacker’s parents and sister attended Wednesday’s hearing, as well as a dozen Virginia Tech football players, most of whom were wearing team gear, according to the report.

An autopsy revealed Smith, a restaurant worker, died from blunt force trauma to the head. All of the bones in his face were broken and his teeth were also missing, the Roanoke Times reported.

Etute, who is charged with second-degree murder, was arrested on June 2. His attorney, Jimmy Turk, told a judge the case was “more than someone just showing up to an apartment and punching someone.”

Turk later addressed reporters outside of court.

“Nobody deserves to die, but I don’t mind saying, don’t pretend you are something that you are not,” Turk told reporters outside the courtroom. “Don’t target or lure anyone under that perception. That’s just wrong.”

At one point during Wednesday’s bond hearing, Turk reportedly asked Etute — clad in an orange prison jumpsuit — how he had been impacted by the charges.

“Real hard,” Etute said. “I’m trying to stay strong for the people that support me, I feel like I’ve let a lot of people down. … I’m truly sorry for my actions.”

Etute was ordered released on $75,000 secured bond under conditions of house arrest and electronic monitoring, the Roanoke Times reported, citing Commonwealth’s Attorney Mary Pettitt.

Am I missing something? Did the guy who was murdered look like a biological woman? Is that photo of him pre-transition? Because there is no way that guy could have passed as female.

Catfishing suggests that he may have posted photos of a woman and pretended to be her. That is an idiotic thing to do, for sure...not sure it warrants getting beaten to death. The linebacker guy could have simply cussed him out and left.

Only really stupid people would meet up with someone under those circumstances. Didn't their mothers ever advice them to always meet people you don't know in a public setting?

Sad story. One guy is dead and another probably going to jail for a long long time all over a blowjob gone bad.

Women are losing to a biological man.  This is madness.

Laurel Hubbard is the first transgender athlete to compete in Olympics
Hubbard lifted 628 pounds in two lifts to qualify in the women’s super-heavyweight division
By Edmund DeMarche | Fox News

A New Zealand weightlifter—who has competed in men’s events in the past-- will become the first transgender competitor to qualify to be on the country’s women’s weightlifting team for Tokyo 2020.

"I am grateful and humbled by the kindness and support that has been given to me by so many New Zealanders," Laurel Hubbard, 43, said in a statement, according to the BBC.

The report pointed out that in 2015, the International Olympic Committee changed its rules to allow transgender athletes to compete as long as their testosterone level is below a certain level and maintained for a year.  The determining criteria — a maximum reading of 10 nanomoles per liter of testosterone — is as least five times more than a biological woman.

Some critics insist that Hubbard, who transitioned eight years ago, will still have an unfair advantage when she competes in the women’s super heavyweight category in August.

The Guardian, citing IOC guidelines, reported that athletes who transition from male to female are allowed to compete in events without surgically removing their testes. The paper reported that some recent studies show power gained during male puberty can last.

Hubbard lifted 628 pounds in two lifts to qualify in the women’s super-heavyweight division. She 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.

New Zealand Olympic Committee chief executive Kereyn Smith said it’s clear Hubbard has met all the criteria to compete in Tokyo.

"We acknowledge that gender identity in sport is a highly sensitive and complex issue requiring a balance between human rights and fairness on the field of play," Smith said. "As the New Zealand Team, we have a strong culture of manaaki (hospitality) and inclusion and respect for all."

Belgium’s Anna Vanbellinghen, who will likely compete against Hubbard, said the New Zealander’s presence would be "like a bad joke" for women competitors.

"Life-changing opportunities are missed for some athletes — medals and Olympic qualifications — and we are powerless. Of course, this debate is taking place in a broader context of discrimination against transgender people and that is why the question is never free of ideology."

Transgender hurdler easily wins NCAA women's national championship

A hurdler who competed as a man last year won an NCAA championship in women’s hurdles over the weekend.

CeCe Telfer of Franklin Pierce University easily won the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Division II outdoor track-and-field championships Saturday, winning the final race by more than a second. Telfer also finished fifth in the 100-meter hurdles, earning All-America honors.

“It was tough conditions out here with the wind and the heat over the last three days, but as she has over the last six months, CeCe proved herself to be tough enough to handle it,” said Zach Emerson, head coach at the school in Rindge, New Hampshire. “Today was a microcosm of her entire season; she was not going to let anything slow her down. I’ve never met anybody as strong as her mentally in my entire life.”

According to Turtleboy Sports, Telfer was born Craig and competed in the men’s division as recently as January 2018.

In an analysis of Telfer’s performance in three conference-winning races earlier this season at the Northeast 10 conference championship, Turtleboy Sports reported that the three times — in the 60-meter dash, the 60-meter hurdles and the 200-meter dash — did not measure up to the male finalists, but won women’s races.

Most of the gaps were not small for races this short — Telfer would’ve trailed the last-placed male finalists by more than a half-second in the 60-meter dash and almost 1.7 seconds in the 200, but won the woman’s 60-meter hurdles by a half-second.

The hurdles are 6 inches shorter in the women’s contest than in the men’s race, and Telfer was a fully-grown male of 21 upon beginning gender transition.

Under NCAA bylaws, according to the Blaze, a biological male undergoing gender transition treatments can compete in the women’s division after one year.

“it is important not to overgeneralize” about transgender women having unfair physical advantage from a lifetime of a man’s body, the NCAA says in a guidance document on transgender athletes.

Cece Telfer, champion transgender hurdler, ruled ineligible for US Olympic trials
Telfer's manager said his client would accept the ruling
By Ryan Gaydos | Fox News

Cece Telfer, a transgender woman who won an NCAA Division II championship in 2019, was ruled ineligible Wednesday to compete in the U.S. Olympic trials.

USA Track and Field (USATF) said in a statement Telfer failed to meet the World Athletic requirements to be eligible for trials. She had initially been on the list for Friday’s opening heats but an updated list Wednesday did not include her name.

World Athletics’ guidelines, released in 2019, stated that female athletes’ testosterone levels were at 5 nanomoles per liter or more were barred from events between distances of 400 meters and a mile. Telfer was readying to compete in the women’s 400-meter hurdles at Olympic trials.

USATF said it "strongly supports inclusivity and providing a clear path to participation in the sport for all, while also maintaining competitive fairness."

"If CeCe meets the conditions for transgender athlete participation in the future, we wholeheartedly back her participation in international events as a member of Team USATF."

USATF said it was notified last week Telfer did not meet the conditions.

David McFarland, Telfer’s manager, told the Associated Press his client would respect the decision of the USATF and World Athletics.

"CeCe has turned her focus towards the future and is continuing to train," he said. "She will compete on the national -- and world -- stage again soon."

According to World Athletics’ rules, an athlete must stay below the threshold for 12 months. The organization said transgender female athletes can lower their testosterone level using an oral contraceptive pill, hormone therapy pills or having surgery to remove their testicles.

Telfer won an NCAA title in 2019 as a member of the Franklin Pierce University. She had previously competed for the men’s team, took time off, then competed for the women’s team.

"I love what I'm doing and I'm getting to live my truth and live my authentic life. I believe that this is my way of being the change that I want to see in the world. And I live by that every single day," she said in a blog post for Women’s Health last week.

Telfer told OutSports in 2019 she had no extra benefit in her races by being transgender. She said her height and the distance between hurdles were part of the disadvantages she faced. She said hormone suppression isn’t helping her either.

"So it’s crazy! I’m the crazy one, to be the weakest female, the weakest link in the chain, to be competing against the top ones. I should be fingered as the stupid one, for wanting to do that in the first place," she added.

Illinois legislature passes law requiring feminine hygiene products in boys' bathrooms
Legislation sponsors urge change to support transgender students.
By The Center Square Staff
By Kevin Bessler
Updated: June 30, 2021

A bill awaiting the Illinois governor’s signature would require schools to provide free menstruation products in both girls' and boys' bathrooms for grades 4 through 12.

Currently, Illinois requires tampons to be provided to students who need them, but the supplies are kept in the nurse’s office.

State Rep. Kathleen Willis, D-Addison, a co-sponsor of the proposal, said products such as tampons and sanitary napkins are needed in both girls’ and boys’ bathrooms in order to address the health needs of transgender students.

“If you are biologically a female, but identifying as a male, you’re going to menstruate and you’re going to need these products,” Willis said during floor debate.

Bill co-sponsor, state Sen. Karina Villa, D-West Chicago, said the measure was an effort to end period poverty.

During a debate in the Senate, state Sen. Jil Tracy, R-Quincy, asked Villa why feminine hygiene products needed to be provided in boys’ bathrooms. Villa responded, “in case of an emergency.”

”I’m telling you there is no logic here,” Tracy said. “For an emergency is not a good answer. We've got to quit playing these stupid silly games here and get real and get fiscally responsible.”

State Rep. Avery Bourne, R-Morrisonville, voiced concerns over mandating schools to place these materials in all boys’ bathrooms, which would open the door for immature students to play with the costly resources.

“When you give a grade school boy something that’s adhesive, they’re going to put it in places,” Bourne said. “These products are not inexpensive and they are going to be misused if they are placed in elementary school boys' bathrooms.”

Illinois is one of more than a dozen states considering bills to require schools to provide free feminine hygiene products, although few have included boys’ restrooms.

Eliminating father-daughter dances?  Where does this all end?

Virginia says local schools should 'eliminate gender-based practices' under new transgender rules
Even events such as "father-daughter dances" may be discontinued under new guidance developed for local school boards by state Department of Education.
By Daniel Payne
Updated: June 29, 2021

Virginia's Department of Education is urging school districts throughout the state to work to end as many sex-segregated activities and programs as possible as part of a recently promulgated set of rules aimed at accommodating transgender students statewide.

The department's Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia's Public Schools was developed pursuant to legislation passed last year by the state legislature and signed into law by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam. That law dictates that the Department of Education is required to "develop and make available" new rules, after which school districts are required to adopt policies that "are consistent with but may be more comprehensive than" the state-level guidance.

The rules were quietly promulgated earlier this year, but generated interest and controversy late this month as some school officials publicized efforts to come in line with the guidance.

The document offers "information, best practices, guidance, procedures, and standards" for school boards developing policies to address their treatment of transgender students. School boards "may adopt example language in the model policies or use it as a guide to draft policies that meet the unique needs of their school division," the guidance reads.

The document advises that "in general, school divisions should make efforts to eliminate gender-based practices to the extent possible."

"Gender-based policies, rules, and practices can have the effect of marginalizing, stigmatizing, and excluding students, regardless of their gender identity or gender expression," it states, citing "practices that may be based on gender" such as "grouping students for class activities, gender-based homecoming or prom courts, limitations on who can attend as 'couples' at school dances, and gender-based events such as father-daughter dances."

The new state rules also appear to require local schools to permit students on overnight school trips to choose lodging accommodations that align with their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

"Students have the right to equitable access to programs, activities, and events that include but are not limited to acknowledgements, dances, assemblies, after-school programs, extracurricular activities, intramurals, non-competitive sports leagues, and field trips," it reads.

"For overnight field trips, the school should not force the student into single-occupancy accommodations that are not required for other students," it states, though it acknowledges that "such alternative accommodations should be made available to any student requesting them."

Fall 2021 deadline for new rules

The Virginia Department of Education did not clarify when asked about the overnight policy and several other provisions of the guidance.

The guidance, meanwhile, states that "local school boards shall adopt policies consistent with model policies contained in this document no later than the 2021-2022 school year," which in Virginia begins in early September.

Some school officials are already scrambling to draft such policies. Pulaski County Public Schools, located in the southwestern portion of the state, posted its draft policy of the rules on its Facebook account on Tuesday.

Echoing the board of education guidance, the school district said it would plan to "eliminate or reduce the practice of segregating students by gender," though only "to the extent possible." The draft stated that it would allow students to participate in activities based on their self-declared gender identity so long as the student demonstrated that the identity was "sincerely held."

The district in the draft did note that school personnel would be empowered to "question a student's asserted gender identity when there is a credible basis for believing that the student's gender identity is being asserted for some improper purpose." Officials with the school district were unavailable for comment on the policy on Tuesday.

The move from the state board of education comes amid a contentious, ongoing debate across the U.S. regarding the treatment of transgender students, including how authorities should handle sensitive issues surrounding locker-room and bathroom access.

That debate has played out in Virginia very publicly in recent years: Gavin Grimm, a student in Gloucester County who self-identifies as male, led a successful court challenge against the county school board's policy of requiring transgender students to use unisex bathrooms rather than those of the sex with which they identify.

The Supreme Court this week said it would decline to hear a challenge to that ruling, leaving in place the order from the lower courts that the school board must make district bathrooms open to students based on how they identify themselves.

San Francisco district attorney mandates city officials to use preferred pronouns
by Lawrence Richard, Social Media Writer
July 03, 2021

San Francisco will incorporate the use of preferred pronouns into its criminal justice system instead of biological pronouns.

Prosecutors and others in the legal system will be required to ask witnesses and defendants about their names and their identifying pronouns under the mandate.

"Here in San Francisco, we must, and we will," said San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin at a press conference Wednesday, calling on other leaders to model “respect.”

"We are leaders in modeling respect and modeling dignity and compassion, in all aspects of our society, including in our legal system," he added.

Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas pressed by Republicans and Democrats to hire more Border Patrol agents

The requirement will help protect youth in his state, the district attorney said, citing data from the Trevor Project that said nonbinary or transgender youth are less likely to impose self-harm or attempt suicide if their preferred pronoun is used.

San Francisco is the second area to implement such a policy, as Washtenaw County, Michigan, previously announced a similar requirement.

San Francisco had required nonbinary identifications on forms from departments that collect demographic data.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed mandated government entities that collect the data to include a third, nonbinary option, in addition to male and female, for gender identity in 2018.

Boudin, who is facing a recall fight, first took office in January 2020 with the financial backing of liberal billionaire George Soros.

Soros’s support was enough for Boudin to defeat then-interim District Attorney Suzy Loftus, who picked up endorsements from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and then-Sen. Kamala Harris.

Transgender surgery for children constitutes child abuse, Texas commissioner rules
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had requested clarification on the issue
By Tyler O'Neil | Fox News

Transgender surgery on the genitals of a child constitutes child abuse under Texas law, according to the head of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).

"Genital mutilation of a child through reassignment surgery is child abuse, subject to all rules and procedures pertaining to child abuse," DFPS Commissioner Jaime Masters wrote in a letter to Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday. Earlier this month, Abbott had requested clarification on the issue from DFPS, which is responsible for investigating charges of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of children, elderly adults, and adults with disabilities.

In the letter, Masters noted that altering a child's genitals in pursuit of transgender identity "may cause a ‘genuine threat of substantial harm from physical injury to the child'" under Texas family code. "This surgical procedure physically alters a child’s genitalia for non-medical purposes potentially inflicting irreversible harm to children’s bodies. Generally, children in the care and custody of a parent lack the legal capacity to consent to surgical treatments, making them more vulnerable."

Masters laid out a few situations where genital surgery may not constitute abuse because it might be medically necessary. Such cases include children whose body parts have been affected by illness or trauma; children who are "born with a medically verifiable genetic disorder of sex development, such as the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissue"; and children who do not "have the normal sex chromosome structure for male or female as determined through genetic testing."

Under Texas Family Code, a professional who has "cause to believe" that child abuse has occurred or is occurring must report to DFPS within 48 hours. Professionals may not delegate this reporting duty and failure to report constitutes a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail, a fine of up to $4,000, or both.

VA teacher reinstated by judge after being suspended for objecting to transgender policy on religious groundsVideo
Even the pro-transgender World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) does not recommend genital surgery for children. "Genital surgery should not be carried out until (i) patients reach the legal age of majority in a given country, and (ii) patients have lived continuously for at least 12 months in the gender role that is congruent with their gender identity," the WPATH Standards of Care document states.

"Puberty-blocking" drugs and cross-sex hormones for children and adolescents are more controversial, however. WPATH and other pro-transgender organizations recommend such interventions, often claiming that they are reversible.

Rachel Levine, now assistant secretary of health at the Department of Health and Human Services, has publicly supported such interventions for children and adolescents.

Yet Dr. Michael Laidlaw, an endocrinologist in Rocklin, Calif., said that such hormonal drugs are "actually causing a disease," namely hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which occurs when the brain fails to send the right signal to the gonads to make the hormones necessary for development. Last year, Britain’s High Court ruled that children under age 16 lack the ability to consent to "puberty-blocking" drugs and cross-sex hormones.

I think this is so fucked up.  If this catches on we could see all trans women's athletics.  Probably a stretch but born men competing against born females is not fair.  The only possible way I can see this even approaching fairness is if a boy transitions before puberty.  Even that, I still don't feel right about.  There will come a point where trans will and should have their own leagues/divisions.

Florida parents sue school district over daughter's secret gender transition
JANUARY 26, 2022
BY JEREMIAH POFF

The parents of a Florida elementary school student are suing their daughter’s school district after their child attempted to commit suicide following the school’s efforts to orchestrate her secret transition to a male gender identity.

The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida and claims that the daughter of Wendell and Maria Perez, a sixth grade student at Paterson Elementary School in Fleming Island, Florida, had adopted a male transgender identity at school with the support of administrators, who hid the girl’s gender dysphoria from her parents.

It was not until the Perezes' daughter, identified as A.P. in court filings, attempted to commit suicide on school grounds for the second time in as many days that the Perezes were notified about their daughter’s male gender identity, the lawsuit says.

CALIFORNIA MIDDLE SCHOOL FORCED DAUGHTER INTO TRANSGENDER IDENTITY, MOTHER ALLEGES

“Prior to the [suicide attempt], A.P. had not exhibited any signs of gender confusion or questioning of her biological sex,” the lawsuit says. “In fact, just before the incident she had told her mother that she believed that people who say they are transgender have a problem with their minds because ‘if you’re a boy, you’re a boy, if you’re a girl, you’re a girl.’”

The court filing says that A.P. and the school had sought to keep her parents in the dark regarding her transgender identity due to their Catholic faith, which teaches that sex and gender are immutable.

The Perezes are represented by the Child and Parental Rights Campaign, a nonprofit legal organization that previously filed a lawsuit in Florida over a similar case in Tallahassee in which another public school clandestinely orchestrated a female middle school student’s transition to a male identity against her parents' wishes.

Vernadette Broyles, the president of the organization, told Action News Jacksonville that a gender transition is “a serious mental health decision that school personnel are not qualified, not competent, and not authorized to make” and that “parents must be involved in these important decisions.”

The two Florida cases are part of a growing trend of public elementary and middle schools failing to notify parents about students seeking out a gender transition.

In California, a mother claimed that her daughter was coerced into adopting a transgender identity by two of her teachers, only to revert to her biological identity when the school district switched to remote classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paterson Elementary School in Fleming Island, Florida is a public school. It is not a boarding school. This means the child goes home after school. I didn't read anything to indicate the parents are blind. If their child had issues with their gender, one would think the parents would notice. Not sure how it is possible for the school to have kept it from them. One or both of the two school counselors, the principal or the student's teacher could have neglected to tell the parents about the two suicide attempts, which would have been wrong.

“Prior to the [suicide attempt], A.P. had not exhibited any signs of gender confusion or questioning of her biological sex,” the lawsuit says. “In fact, just before the incident she had told her mother that she believed that people who say they are transgender have a problem with their minds because ‘if you’re a boy, you’re a boy, if you’re a girl, you’re a girl.’”

MAJOR MOMENT IN WOMEN’S SPORTS HISTORY🏊‍♀️University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas destroyed the record for the women’s 500-yard freestyle at the Ivy League Championships Thursday — setting a record that may never be broken.

Thomas, who is a man and competed as a man for nearly three years on the school’s men’s swim team, won the 500-yard race against a field of women with an unheard of time of 4:37.32, the best time ever recorded at Harvard University’s Blodgett Pool, the New York Post reported.

The time was also the swimmer’s personal best and came in three seconds faster than Thomas’ previous record.

Thomas also blew away the competition on Wednesday by delivering a time of 1:44:50 in the first leg of the 800-yard relay race, beating every female contestant.

Thomas wasn’t the only trans swimmer to set a top time on Wednesday. Iszac Henig, a Yale women’s swim team member who was born female but identifies as a male even while still competing on the Yale women’s team, posted the next fastest time at 1:44:65 on Wednesday.

With Thomas again setting likely unbeatable records for women’s swimming, the controversy over transgender swimmers continues.

Even after numerous complaints from inside and outside the University of Pennsylvania, the Ivy League ignored all criticism and ruled that Thomas could compete in the championships.

But despite the league’s decision, not everyone was in favor of allowing Thomas to compete. In February, 16 of UPenn’s female swimmers had signed a letter saying that trans swimmers like Thomas should be banned from women’s competition. Since Thomas is still a biological male, the female swimmers said they couldn’t win.

Others outside the UPenn team have also spoken out.

One prominent voice speaking out against Thomas was Rice Swimming coach Seth Huston, who has been head coach of Rich for 19 seasons, who said that it was “black and white” that transgender “women” are a threat to real women.

“The NCAA once again has proven that it is not leading. It is not really even following,” Huston said last month. “The NCAA governance has become a bystander waiting for other organizations to make tough decisions. They hoped NIL would continue to be suppressed, and now they are scrambling to make it fit their construct. Now they sit on the sidelines with Transgender issues.”

Oregon's 'Menstrual Dignity Act' requires schools to place feminine products in boys' bathrooms

Oregon public schools will be required to provide feminine products along with instructions on "how to use" those products in all K-12 bathrooms regardless of gender, in accordance with the state's "Menstrual Dignity Act" signed into law last year.

The controversial mandate, solidified by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, was set to go into full effect during the 2022-2023 school year. A 2021 statement from Portland Public Schools detailed how the act would be implemented long-term. 

The statement also stressed the need for students to learn about growth and development, noted that some physical education courses are implementing lessons on "the four pillars of Menstrual Dignity" and encouraged parents to have similar discussions with their children to help reduce the "shame and stigma" surrounding menstruation.

The Oregon Department of Education also doubled down on the controversial content by issuing a "Menstrual Dignity for Students" toolkit in March, complete with instructions on how to use menstrual products, segments on faculty and staff training, classroom instruction and tips for "menstruation-positive" language for families.

Gone are the days when you can assume someone who looks like a woman is a biological woman, especially with the internet, makeovers, filters, etc.  The dating scene has to be an absolutely frightening place.  Check out this recent story:

Virginia Tech linebacker accused of beating man to death over Tinder catfishing
By Joshua Rhett Miller
June 10, 2021
A freshman Virginia Tech linebacker charged with murder told police he fatally beat a man — breaking every bone in his face — for catfishing him on Tinder, prosecutors said.

Ismemen David Etute, 18, told cops he went to the Blacksburg apartment of 40-year-old Jerry Smith in April for oral sex after matching up with someone named “Angie” on Tinder, the Roanoke Times reported.

Etute then returned to the apartment on May 31 for another meet-up, at which point he discovered the person he had matched up with this time was male, according to Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jason Morgan, citing details the now-suspended linebacker told cops.

Etute told investigators he punched Smith five times in the face and “stomped” on him, but didn’t call police despite hearing “bubbling and gurgling” from the victim as he left the apartment. Cops found the badly beaten man’s body one day later, the newspaper reported.

The linebacker’s parents and sister attended Wednesday’s hearing, as well as a dozen Virginia Tech football players, most of whom were wearing team gear, according to the report.

An autopsy revealed Smith, a restaurant worker, died from blunt force trauma to the head. All of the bones in his face were broken and his teeth were also missing, the Roanoke Times reported.

Etute, who is charged with second-degree murder, was arrested on June 2. His attorney, Jimmy Turk, told a judge the case was “more than someone just showing up to an apartment and punching someone.”

Turk later addressed reporters outside of court.

“Nobody deserves to die, but I don’t mind saying, don’t pretend you are something that you are not,” Turk told reporters outside the courtroom. “Don’t target or lure anyone under that perception. That’s just wrong.”

At one point during Wednesday’s bond hearing, Turk reportedly asked Etute — clad in an orange prison jumpsuit — how he had been impacted by the charges.

“Real hard,” Etute said. “I’m trying to stay strong for the people that support me, I feel like I’ve let a lot of people down. … I’m truly sorry for my actions.”

Etute was ordered released on $75,000 secured bond under conditions of house arrest and electronic monitoring, the Roanoke Times reported, citing Commonwealth’s Attorney Mary Pettitt.

Jerry Paul Smith was allegedly beaten to death by Isimemen Etute.

Etute, who will stay with his parents in Virginia Beach, is due back in court on Sept. 23, WJZY reported.

The linebacker’s team profile was not active Thursday. He was suspended from the squad last week.

Relatives of Smith, meanwhile, reportedly declined to comment after the hearing.

Horrific. State-run and sanctioned child abuse network.


Quote
"A 14-year-old Virginia girl started identifying as trans. Her school HID THIS from her grandparents, who adopted her as a baby.

In August, she ran away and was found in Maryland where she had been sex-trafficked.

The state put her into a boys’ home."



The Saga of Sage

[The following is the story of a 15 year old girl, Sage Lily. The author, her adopted mother (who happens to also be her grandmother), wants the world to know what is happening to vulnerable trans identified children like her daughter. When we received her story, we immediately got her in touch with people in our network who could be in a position to help her, and to get her story visibility with a broader audience. All of that is currently in motion. Please take the time to read this heartbreaking story for yourself.]

I am the grandmother of a 15 year old girl, Sage Lily.

I adopted Sage when she was just shy of 2 years old. Sage and I live in Virginia with my husband.

Sage started going through gender confusion in 8th grade. To that point she was a straight A student who enjoyed playing piano and writing poetry. At her small school, as Sage informed me, all the girls were either bi, trans, or lesbian. At some point social influence overcame her. She advised her friends and teachers that she wanted to be trans and that Sage would no longer be her name—she requested to be called “Draco” and referred to as a boy. The school obliged since Virginia, by law, requires that students be affirmed by the school staff. Unfortunately, the school did not tell me, her legal mother, about any of this—I was left in the dark. I wish I had known. If I had known, this would have been a much different story.

Last August (2021), Sage started 9th grade at the local high school with her trans id in place, unbeknownst to me. She was bullied and became extremely vulnerable. Soon she was exploited online—a fact I did not know about until later.

On August 25th, she ran away from home. I immediately notified the local sheriff. Her case quickly escalated and the FBI and US Marshall became involved. Sage had been sex trafficked from Virginia into Washington DC and then transported to Maryland. The FBI and Marshals found her in a locked room at the home of the abuser at 10pm on September 2nd. They called me to let me know, and to inform me that I could pick her up the next morning to bring her home to Virginia. I was told she needed to stay the night at a detention center, as she was being treated at the hospital, and needed a rape kit completed. I was frantic, as you might imagine, and distraught that I was not allowed to see her right away.

I arrived at the detention center bright and early the next morning. However, once there I received surprising and devastating news—Sage was now being represented by a juvenile attorney and would not be allowed to return to Virginia with us, and I would not be allowed to see her until a court hearing could take place. And, on top of that, my husband and I were going to be investigated for "abuse" because we called her “Sage” and not “Draco”, and used female pronouns in reference to her, rather than he/him.

Abuse charges were filed against my husband and myself and Sage was put in the BOYS’ UNIT of the Children’s Home—where she was AGAIN abused. Following this she was placed in a private room. Again, I was not advised that Sage (with a female body), was placed in a boys’ unit. So now my traumatized child had been kidnapped, sex trafficked, and then sexually abused again while in the care of the state, rather than returning to her loving home to rebuild. Instead of the trauma care that Sage desperately needed when she was rescued, she was manipulated and our family was treated unfairly. Instead of getting the help she desperately needed and deserved, she was fated to experience even more pain and suffering.

A jury on Friday acquitted a former Virginia Tech football player who had been accused of fatally beating a man he says he initially believed from a Tinder match to be a woman.

Former player Isimemen Etute, 19, was found not guilty of a charge of second-degree murder in the 2021 death of Jerry Smith, 40, of Blacksburg. The jury deliberated for approximately three hours before returning its verdict around 6:30 p.m., The Roanoke Times reported.

Immediately after the verdict was announced, Smith's family quickly left the courtroom. The prosecuting attorney, Montgomery County Chief Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Patrick Jensen, declined comment and referred questions to his boss, Commonwealth's Attorney Mary Pettitt.

The jury began deliberations after closing arguments ended shortly before 3 p.m.

Prosecutors had earlier told the jury that Etute, then 18, became enraged and fatally beat Smith when he discovered Smith was a man. One of the prosecutors said at closing arguments Friday that Etute gave different versions of events to police and the jury, and that the charge may have been enough for him to change his testimony.

"He has a tremendous amount riding on this trial," Jensen had said during his closing argument hours earlier Friday, The Roanoke Times reported.

Defense attorney Jimmy Turk told the jurors earlier Friday that the commonwealth's evidence was circumstantial, while the defense's evidence, which included the testimony of Etute, was direct.

Turk also said Smith was "controlling the entire environment and the entire episode." He added that Smith had "demanded that it be dark" and had hidden a knife under his mattress "in case there was something awry."

Turk also argued that police didn't ask Etute essential questions about Smith's knife or Etute's fear while in the apartment, two questions whose answers could have shown whether Etute was afraid for his life and acting in self-defense.


In taking the stand earlier in the week, Etute had testified that he felt "violated" when he discovered that the Tinder match he believed to be a woman was actually a man.

In his testimony Thursday, Etute had testified that Smith reached for what Etute thought was a gun. Smith did not own a gun, but police reported finding a knife between the man's mattress and box spring.

Etute said he punched Smith five times and kicked him to gain time to escape the apartment.

Jensen had maintained that Etute had not acted in self-defense. He argued that after Etute punched Smith and Smith fell to the floor, there was "no way" Smith could have reached a weapon under his mattress.

"He could never reach a gun from there," Jensen said.

Jensen recalled the testimony of medical examiner Dr. Amy Tharp, who Jensen said testified Smith had been the victim of a "brutal beating."

Jensen said that while Etute was wearing flip-flops at the time of the encounter, those shoes were attached to a "big person" and a "strong person." He compared Etute, an "elite college athlete," to Smith, who weighed 153 pounds (just under 70 kilograms).


"That's a big disparity," Jensen said.

Insane. This is (supposedly) a professor.

Check out the video and read the exchange below:

https://twitter.com/HawleyMO/status/1546902849837322241


Hawley, law prof clash in heated exchange over who can get pregnant: 'Is this how you run your classroom?'

A Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on abortion and the legal consequence of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization blew up during a tense back and forth between Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Berkeley Law Prof. Khiara Bridges when the senator questioned her characterization of who can get pregnant.

After Bridges referred to "people with a capacity for pregnancy," Hawley asked if she meant women. When the professor stated that some women cannot get pregnant and that some transgender men and non-binary people can, Hawley questioned whether abortion is really a women's rights issue, as it has historically been presented. This led the professor to accuse Hawley of creating a dangerous situation with his question.

"I want to recognize that your line of questioning is trans-phobic, and it opens up trans people to violence by not recognizing them," said Bridges, who teaches courses in Family Law as well as Reproductive Rights and Justice.

"Wow, you're saying that I'm opening up people to violence by asking whether or not women are the only folks who can have pregnancies?" Hawley asked.

Bridges responded by stating that one in five transgender people have attempted to commit suicide.

"Because of my line of questioning?" Hawley shot back. "So we can’t talk about it?"

Bridges said Hawley was causing a problem "by denying that trans people exist and pretending not to know that they exist." The Republican senator questioned the idea that he was denying that trans people exit by asking a question about women getting pregnant.

Bridges then offered Hawley a test.

"Do you believe that men can get pregnant?" she asked.

"No! I don’t think men can get pregnant," Hawley replied, leading Bridges to state that this means he denies the existence of trans people.

"And that leads to violence?" Hawley asked, incredulously. "Is this how you run your classroom? Are students allowed to question you, or are they also treated like this, where they’re told that they’re opening up people to violence by questioning?"

Bridges said she and her students have a good time in her law school class and suggested Hawley come see for himself.

"You should join, you might learn a lot," the professor said.

"Wow, I would learn a lot. I’ve learned a lot just from this exchange," Hawley replied.

Who'd have guessed it, I concur with you on this issue. My rationale is quite simple. It is based on people l know and my experience raising our children. The point at which almost all young people can make potentially life altering decisions is around the age of 25 when their brains have fully developed, and they've reached maturity. Note that I said almost all. There are some folks who never get there and who remain immature adolescents their entire lives... but that is a different issue.

Luckily my wife and I were blessed to have a son and a daughter, both of whom were and still are happy being their birth gender. I am not sure how my late wife or I would have felt had our son wanted to be castrated or our daughter trading her breasts with a beard.

Most Americans Say There Are 2 Genders and Want Sex Changes for Minors Criminalized.

The majority of Americans – 71 percent – agree that male and female are the only two genders, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports.

A huge 83 percent of Republicans and even 67 percent of Democrats agreed with the statement: “There are two genders, male and female.”

Almost half of Democrats – 47 percent – “strongly agree” with the statement, with an even larger 72 percent of Republicans strongly agreeing.

Less than a quarter of Americans from all political parties – 23 percent – either “somewhat disagree” or “strongly disagree.”

Schools Secretly Counseling Students.
Rasmussen Reports asked the 1,116 survey participants: “Should schools and teachers be allowed to counsel students on their sexual and gender identities without parental knowledge or consent.”

Only 26 percent answered “yes,” including less than half of Democrats – 41 percent.

Instead, 60 percent answered “no” with 75 percent of Republicans and 44 percent of Democrats.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Minors.
Rasmussen also asked: “Some states have recently passed legislation making it illegal to give hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to minors. Do you approve or disapprove of such laws?”

A total of 59 percent of the respondents said they approve of making HRT for minors illegal, with more than half of Democrats – 54 percent – and 70 percent of Republicans agreeing.

Whereas 35 percent of Democrats and 23 percent of Republicans disapproved.

Sex-Change Surgery on Minors.
Lastly, Rasmussen asked: “Some states have recently passed legislation making it illegal to perform sex-change surgery on minors. Do you approve or disapprove of such laws?”

A larger 62 percent of respondents approved in comparison to HRT for minors, with 56 percent of Democrats and 73 percent of Republicans.

Democrats held similar opinions of sex-change operations and HRT, with 35 percent of Democrats disapproving of state bans and only 21 percent of Republicans.

This is the road to a 2020 general election loss for the GOP in 2024.

According to Pew, “Roughly eight-in-ten US adults say there is at least some discrimination against trans people in our society, and a majority favor laws that would protect transgender individuals from discrimination in jobs, housing, and public spaces.” Yet we find GOP candidates running as furious culture warriors targeting trans kids and bodily autonomy. Candidates Tim Scott, Haley, and Pence have expressed support for a federal abortion ban.

Uh yeah, he has an idea based on what you said:

This is the road to a 2020 general election loss for the GOP in 2024.

According to Pew, “Roughly eight-in-ten US adults say there is at least some discrimination against trans people in our society, and a majority favor laws that would protect transgender individuals from discrimination in jobs, housing, and public spaces.” Yet we find GOP candidates running as furious culture warriors targeting trans kids and bodily autonomy. Candidates Tim Scott, Haley, and Pence have expressed support for a federal abortion ban.

You say "culture warriors targeting trans kids and bodily autonomy."  That is clearly a reference to "gender affirming care," which includes cutting off the healthy body parts of kids.  So you can try and sugarcoat your support for that nonsense, but you are obviously supporting it.  You should get on the right side of history.  This stuff will not age well.

I think gender dysphoria is real, but what we are largely seeing today with the explosion of transgender kids is social contagion. 

Still, if an adult man wants to cut off his balls, this is America and he should be able to do it.  Kids are an entirely different ballgame.

Yes the dysphoria is a thing - its a mental issue not a physical issue.
As for adults chopping their Bollocks or Tits off - well yes its their bodies only
They should do it themselves or pay for it themselves.

And you are obviously misreading me. Posting what most folks believe about trans issues is not 'sugarcoating' or supporting anything... it is simply restating the results of a Pew study. 

“Two-thirds of Americans are against laws that would limit transgender rights, a new PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll found.” https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/new-poll-shows-americans-overwhelmingly-oppose-anti-transgender-laws

I think we can agree that polls and studies are less than accurate some of the time. However, if any number close to two-thirds of Americans are against laws that limit transgender rights. Politicians who claim they support limiting trans rights will also limit their likelihood of getting elected.

BTW you cannot quote me on something which was part of that article and not my words. Nowhere did I indicate that I agreed with this. Nor do I always support what some people believe or say.

IMO, Soul Crusher has become a negative, angry, and hostile person who thrives on insulting others who don't agree with him on various issues.

I agree with you they should not expect other folks to support their gender dysphoria and/or desire to (IMO) mutilate their bodies. Gender affirmation surgeries are a choice - not a right.

Personally, I plan to go out with all the body parts I had when I arrived. Some people get tattooed head to toe or have a slew of piercings. This is their choice. Can you guess how many tattoos I have? That would be zero. I did recently color my mustache and eyebrows from grey/white to sandy blond (following Trump's lead, LOL!). This is as much as I am willing to change my appearance. It does make me look a bit younger.

And regarding quoting you, how is anyone supposed to know this is all a quote from someone else??

You are right, my post was broadly about transgender rights including gender affirmation surgery and not specifically gender affirming care for minors, with which I also disagree. In an earlier post, I believe I stated that IMO gender affirmation care, particularly that which includes surgery is a choice which only mature adults can make for themselves. For example, if I had a minor son who wanted to go to school wearing a dress or makeup, I would not allow it. I use the 'son' example because in our society girls frequently wear boy's clothes and nobody thinks anything about it, (tomboys).

The percentage of people who claim to be transgender is extremely low. Although, it is reported to be somewhat higher in younger people than older folks. There could be several reasons for this including the fact that society is more open about some things today than it was a few decades ago. Older folks are less likely to admit they have transgender issues.     

Yup, I should have quoted all the phrases/words taken from that article for clarity. What I quoted is word for word what was written in the article. What is not quoted is my rewrite of the article which is not word for word but does include some of the words used, such as "culture warriors".

One of the problems with discussions posted in forums such as these, is that the written word does not fully convey what someone is saying as it would if the conversation were face to face.

Insane.

St. Philip's has declined to specify the content of the "complaints" it received about Varkey, but he presumes they are based on a Nov. 28, 2022, classroom incident, according to the First Liberty letter.

He was teaching at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland as part of St. Philip's academic program for service members.

Four students walked out when Varkey said, "Sex was determined by chromosomes X and Y." The letter includes Varkey's slides, taken from the textbook.

Vice President for Academic Success Randall Dawson notified Varkey on Jan. 12 it had received an "ethics violation complaint" related to his classroom conduct and that JBSA Lackland had already revoked his access to the base, according to an attached exhibit.

Dawson would not share the complaint and said human resources would take over.

The termination letter from Dawson followed two weeks later and referred to "numerous complaints" without any information about the alleged violations "last semester" or indication that they were investigated.

"While some of the subject matter may be connected to class content, it was very clear, from the complaints, that you pushed beyond the bounds of academic freedom with your personal opinions that were offensive to many individuals in the classroom," Dawson wrote.

Detransitioner: Genital Surgery ‘Destroyed My Life’ — ‘You Need to Be Insane’ to Think This Helps Patients
ELAINE MALLON  3 Jul 2023584

Daniel Black says he started making plans with his doctor to surgically remove his penis just 30 minutes into a consultation concerning his struggles with gender identity when he was 17.

Black left the appointment with a prescription for hormonal replacement therapy. At 19, the Czech Republic citizen had his penis surgically removed and received breast implants. Now 23, he is detransitoning, the Daily Mail reported.

In a Twitter post, Black said one would have to be “insane to believe bottom surgeries are good for patients.”

The surgeons removed Black’s testicles and created a “neovagina.”

“The whole experience was horrible and exhausting,” Black said in the post. “I was not able to finish school and my mental state went from bad to worse. I don’t recommend undergoing this surgery to anyone.”

Black said he has lost the ability to orgasm and will not be able to have children. He now has to have testosterone injected into his body, and is looking forward to an experimental penis transplant surgery. This January Black had his breast implants removed.

“The surgery destroyed my life,” he told MailOnline.

He credits his fiancée Tereza for being able to be who he truly is.

“At the beginning of our relationship I didn’t know what my role was supposed to be. She is a biological woman and I was playing the role of a fake one,” Black told the Daily Mail. “But it’s hard – for the first time in forever I am not acting or hiding behind a mask, I am honest about who I am and it’s utterly terrifying. Terrifying and liberating.”

In May, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law banning “gender affirming” care for minors, Reuters reported.

There are 19 states with laws on the books restricting “gender affirming” care, CNN reported.

“It’s crazy that doctors and specialists provide children with this experimental treatment instead of offering them extensive psychotherapy,” Black told the Daily Mail. “These people then have to live with drastic lifelong consequences.”

The judge sounds like a loon. Schools and school boards have arbitrarily assumed too much authority that they should never be allowed to exercise.

Imagine if some judge (especially a Trump appointed judge) ruled that parents can't opt kids out of religion lessons. Rightfully, there would be outrage.

Tom Cotton: Military Citations Using ‘Themself’ Instead of ‘Himself’ or ‘Herself’
KRISTINA WONG   8 Sep 2023

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Friday sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding he explain the Pentagon’s apparent decision to use the “gender neutral” term “themself” instead of “himself” or “herself” for decoration and award citations.

Cotton, an Army veteran, wrote to Austin:

I write regarding the Department’s decision to incorporate ‘gender neutral’ language into decoration and award citations. Our military apparently will now use “themself”—which is not even a word, I hasten to add—instead of “himself” or “herself” to describe heroic or distinguished actions.

He included a sample of the “absurd” model language:

(Rank) First M. Last, Jr., United States (Military Service), distinguished themself by superior meritorious service in a position of significant responsibility as (position and duty assignment), from (month year) to (month year).

Cotton said previous guidance simply referred to service members as “himself or herself.”

“And, I want to stress, this language isn’t referring to unspecified personnel in the abstract or large numbers of troops—it refers to a specific, named person whose ‘preferred gender’ is presumably known,” he said.

Cotton made clear he opposed the apparent language change, slamming it as worse than Orwellian:

The Department’s embrace of far-left gender ideology doesn’t merely subvert the English language in ways that would astonish George Orwell. Worse, it exemplifies a Pentagon leadership consumed by the fads of the faculty lounge at a time when the Army can’t hit its recruiting goals, the Navy can’t keep ships out of dry dock, and the Air Force can’t find spare parts for planes.

He demanded Austin answer by next Friday at 5:00 p.m. as to if he personally approved the change and if he did not, when he learned about it.

“I also would welcome a reply that this whole episode was just a practical joke or a decision you immediately reversed when it came to your attention,” he said.

He included a footnote after addressing Austin as “Mr.” saying, “If I may be so bold as to assume your ‘preferred gender.'”

Then after a few years, their enablers and groomers will demand more money to conduct yet more studies on the mental health and suicides of these children, now young adults, only to conclude that their suicide rates are high and they face several mental health issues; at which point they will request more money for mental health and suicide prevention programs, all the while demanding that more puberty blockers, medical procedures and groomer propaganda are provided to children.

Well, its not exactly a win-win situation regardless as to what room is assigned for someone transgender and even assigning her to a solo room would be worse.   Kind of feel bad for everyone

Maine's 'Act to Safeguard Gender Affirming Health Care' was written to allow minors (Folks who are  16 and 17 years of age) access to hormone treatments,  but not surgery. Perhaps the Daily Mail article has a typo where-in the 'non' in non-surgical care was omitted. Of course, there is no possibility the Daily Mail would intentionally do such an underhanded and dishonest thing, right?

'Governor Mills Signs LD 535, An Act Regarding Consent for Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy for Certain Minors
A new law signed by Governor Mills today will allow transgender minors who have reached a minimum age of 16, have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and are being harmed or will be from being denied medically necessary health care, to have a medical pathway to receive such care.  LD 535 authorizes 16- and 17-year-olds in those circumstances and who meet detailed requirements of counseling and informed consent to receive evidence-based, medically recommended non-surgical care if they are deemed competent to give such consent and their parents refuse to provide the required care.'

According to Maine Public, 'The bill would allow a doctor to prescribe non-surgical interventions, such as gender-affirming hormone therapies like estrogen and testosterone, to 16- and 17-year-olds.

But several senators pointed out that the bill only allows non-surgical interventions such as medications whose effects only last as long as the drug is taken. The bill was given initial approval in the Senate on a 20-14 vote and in the House on a vote of 73-60.'

Same. Tattoos are so common today, but having one never interested me. My son-in-law recently started an upper management job. He told me that he was surprised how many of the employees have visible tattoos on their faces and hands as well as piercings. These are high-paid professional people working in a parts manufacturing industry, so they don't have customer contact. However, there are many outrageous looking people working as clerks in stores. I am so 'old school' that tattoos were considered taboo and low class. My parents would have had a fit if I had gotten a tattoo. Times have changed.

Some fun facts about tattoos. Did you know that tattoos have been around for at least 5000 years? During Japan's Edo Period, tattooing was used almost exclusively for criminals and prisoners and intentionally designed to mark people as outsiders. Winston Churchill and his mother were both inked at a tattoo shop. There was a tattoo 'shop' in London in the late 1800's. In the 1950s tattooing was banned in some U.S. states and cities. They were illegal in many states. The last state to legalize tattooing was Oklahoma which happened in 2006.  Tattoos start becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. in the 1970s.

This whole issue makes no sense.  The law protects women.  A transgender woman is a biological man.  They are allowing boys and men to compete against girls and women.  You never see a problem with transgender men (biological women) competing, breaking records, and taking titles away from men, because men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women.

I do see a problem with (biological men) who are transgender competing with (biological females) in athletics for the very reasons you mentioned. I do not know how most Oregonians feel about transgender issues.

Oregon is a liberal state. Oregon Governor, Tina Kotek is a lesbian. Her wife is Oregon's first lady. Previous Oregon Governor, Kate Brown, is openly bisexual. It is clear most voters in Oregon are liberal and do not have issues with our leader’s sexual orientation.

"Transgender athletes are protected under the current guidelines of the Oregon School Activities Association, which ""endeavors to allow students to participate for the athletic or activity program of their consistently asserted gender identity while providing a fair and safe environment for all students.""


Providing a Fair environment 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Fucking idiotic 🤡s  they let men compete against women - utter Fucking nonsense.

I do see a problem with (biological men) who are transgender competing with (biological females) in athletics for the very reasons you mentioned. I do not know how most Oregonians feel about transgender issues.

Oregon is a liberal state. Oregon Governor, Tina Kotek is a lesbian. Her wife is Oregon's first lady. Previous Oregon Governor, Kate Brown, is openly bisexual. It is clear most voters in Oregon are liberal and do not have issues with our leader’s sexual orientation.

Elsewhere. I just ran across this article regarding a transgender related appeals court ruling in West Virginia that you might be interested in reading. 'West Virginia transgender sports ban discriminates against teen athlete, appeals court says.' https://apnews.com/article/west-virginia-transgender-sports-ban-ruling-badf5518ada74d01a3f0a0420d2f4074
   

I posted a link to West Virgina case in this thread:

And this isn't a gay/lesbian issue.  These crazy activist leftists are trying to erase gay people.  When I was growing up, if a boy was effeminate he was either kind of a sissy or gay.  And if a girl was a tomboy she was either just a tomboy or lesbian.  Now they want to cut off a kid's balls or amputate her boobs.  It's insane.  And the overwhelming majority of kids with gender dysphoria grow out of it, and the majority of those kids turn out to be gay.  So the really are trying to wipe out gay kids. 

That's a completely separate issue from allowing biological men to destroy women's sports.

Biological men pretending to be women & they always will be biological men.

That's Fact's.  Stick to Fact's. Not that stupid silly appeasing talk.
