It’s Pride Month, so Democrats are not only donning the rainbow flag, they’re continuing their work to erase gendered language from our lexicon and destroy the nuclear family. In New York, a bill was just advanced that would replace the terms ‘mother’ and ‘father’ with the Orwellian ‘gestating parent’ and ‘non-gestating parent.

Here’s more:

A woke new bill erases the terms “mother” and “father” from state child custody and parental laws — a gender-neutral rewriting that’s expected to spark a flood of similarly clunky legislation.

“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” or “parent” in family court along with in domestic and education law, under the legislation, passed this week by state Democrats.

“Paternity” proceedings to determine a child’s biological father would meanwhile become “parentage” cases, under the bill, which was rammed through the Assembly in March and of the Senate this week.

A “putative father” — also known as a deadbeat dad — would now be called “an alleged parent” in official state records, under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and will go to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.

“It’s woke culture run amok. It’s one-upmanship,” said state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar, a former longtime state Senate and Assembly staffer.

However, they never did.

A winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, as well as one of the most famous openly gay people in the history of sports, Navratilova recently spoke with OutKick in an interview and said that she tried to send a message to former Vice President Kamala Harris amid the Republican Party blasting their Democratic counterparts in the 2024 campaign cycle regarding transgender athletes and women’s rights.

“I tried to get to Kamala Harris’ campaign,” said Navratilova to OutKick. “Nobody would listen to me.”

Transgender athlete Becky Pepper-Jackson did very well last weekend at the West Virginia girls’ state track championships – maybe too well.

The Bridgeport High School sophomore placed first in the girls’ shot put and fourth in the girls’ discus in Class AAA at the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission’s (WVSSAC) state track and field championships, prompting the state attorney general’s offifice to notify the U.S. Supreme Court.

The problem? The student-athlete is the defendant in West Virginia v. BPJ, a case before the high court on whether state laws banning biological males from female scholastic sports violate the U.S. Constitution and Title IX, the federal ban on sex discrimination in education.

The American Civil Liberties Union has described the student as a middling athlete who poses no threat to competitive fairness in girls’ sports, a characterization disputed by West Virginia Solicitor General Michael R. Williams.

“As a high school sophomore, BPJ is not finishing ‘near the back of the pack,’ contra [the respondent’s brief], but is instead defeating every female – or nearly every female – in the State in these events,” he said in his letter to Supreme Court Clerk Scott Harris.

Parents Lose Child to California’s Trans Police – deconstructingwoke.com

California has officially used the doctrine that a child can choose their sex to take that child away from their parents. California now wants to put the girl up for adoption after the mother lost custody of her daughter in a court ruling. It is presumed the adopting adults most agree to transition the girl to a boy if she chooses to. The girl was 15 at the time she was placed into state custody.

The girl is the daughter of a Ukrainian immigrant, Alexandra Lyaschenko, who herself is hiding in Florida to prevent the state of California from taking her son into custody as well. The state of California also wants to put her son in the foster care system because his mother refuses to allow him to transition to a girl.

Pro-life advocates have long warned about Planned Parenthood’s role in ending innocent lives through abortion, but now the threat has expanded. The abortion giant is not only ending lives in the present but it is advancing practices that may prevent future generations of children from ever being conceived.

How? By targeting minors with medical interventions that can lead to permanent sterility.

This is not speculation. It can be clearly seen in Planned Parenthood’s expanding involvement in providing so-called gender-transition services.

A review by Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee found that 14 Planned Parenthood regional reports – the regions that consistently publish comparable data – recorded a more than 40 percent increase in reported ‘gender-affirming care,’ visits, or services from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025. Because Planned Parenthood’s national 2024-2025 annual report does not provide a national total for ‘gender-affirming care,’ CWALAC aggregated figures from regional reports that publish comparable data. Planned Parenthood’s national gender-care page lists estrogen and anti-androgen therapy, testosterone therapy, puberty blockers, surgery referrals, and transition support, while noting that not every health center offers every service.

“This is several years in a row now that this number has increased despite society for the most part turning its back and reversing course on a lot of this,” Macy Petty, a legislative strategist for CCA, told the Daily Wire. “Planned Parenthood has found a way to continue this harmful and destructive business.”

In a long and remarkably unpleasant hearing on Monday, the California legislature discussed a proposal to allocate $26 million in state funds to pay for pediatric transgender interventions. Legislators proudly declared their support for “trans” kids, and for the doctors who perform their procedures. But the joint session between two budget subcommittees, one from the Senate and one from the Assembly, had the opposite of the intended effect. The testimony made it remarkably clear that California is doing CPR on a dead fetish.

News coverage of the hearing focused on a second panel of witnesses, made up of pro-trans witnesses. But the first panel to testify, made up entirely of state lawyers and health care regulators, established a less-noticed theme. Facing repeated demands from the chair, Sen. Caroline Menjivar, to explain why they weren’t punishing the many hospitals and health care systems in the state that have stopped providing pediatric trans procedures following changes in federal policy, the state officials kept defaulting to the same answer.

You don’t need to be a biologist to understand there is a physical difference between males and females. This is such a well-known fact that even cavemen understand this concept. The left, however, woke up one day and decided that there is no difference, despite reality proving otherwise. This is why the Department of Justice is suing Minnesota, as they have allowed boys to invade the female division of sports for far too long.

According to the New York Post:

The Department of Justice sued Minnesota on Monday for discriminating against female athletes by letting biological males compete against them and enter their bathrooms and locker rooms.

These asinine policies don’t just destroy the integrity of the game: They actively jeopardize women’s safety.

The suit, filed in Minnesota federal court, alleges that the state’s Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League have been implementing policies and practices that ignored “undeniable physiological differences between male and female athletes” in violation of Title IX.

To claim the state ignored “undeniable physiological differences” would be an understatement at this point.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon noted in the 45-page civil filing that the state also committed the violations while taking more than $3 billion in federal funding per year and agreeing to uphold nondiscriminatory policies.

 Circuit Judge Lawrence Van Dyke attracted the ire of nearly 30 of his colleagues after writing a furious and crude dissent in response to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision not to review the claims of Olympus Spa. The Christian business in Washington state claims that their constitutional rights have been violated by a law requiring them to permit trans-identifying men into their facility.

In 2020, trans-identifying man Haven Wilvich filed a complaint against the spa for denying him service with the Washington Human Rights Commission. Olympus Spa, which is owned by conservative Christians, settled in 2021 with the WHRC by promising to change its policies forbidding trans-identifying men from using their facility, but also stated that the settlement was forced and violated their freedom of association, freedom of speech, and exercise of religion under the First Amendment.

The following year, Olympus brought a constitutional challenge, which was dismissed in 2023 by a federal judge who claimed that because the state’s “anti-discrimination” law applies to all businesses, the law does not specifically violate the rights of the owners of Olympus. In May, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the ruling 2-1. Last week, the full court voted not to review that decision. Enter Judge Lawrence Van Dyke, who decided to make the rare move of using blunt, crude language to illustrate his contempt for the decision.
