A mother and her daughter paid $1,000 apiece for tickets to Monday’s Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

They came specifically to watch Sophie Cunningham, the only player in the woke WNBA with the courage to speak biological truth out loud and stand against men invading women’s sports.

They showed up wearing XX/XY shirts in open support of that stance. The back of the daughter’s shirt delivered a simple, unambiguous message: “For the girls.”

They say arena staff confronted them over their clothing and gave them two choices: Cover their shirts or leave, according to Adam Francisco. They were handed oversized shirts to throw on over their own clothes like they were the problem.

Outkick reporter Jon Root said, “During OT, a security guard told them they had to put provided Atlanta Dream shirts over their shirts or they would be escorted out…”

After 18 months of prosecution, Maryland abruptly put its cases against three Zizian trans cult members on indefinite hold. Officials have not publicly explained why.

CUMBERLAND, Md. — Maryland state felony prosecutions against three members of the Zizian trans death cult have been indefinitely suspended for unknown reasons.

The cases against cult leader Jack “Ziz” LaSota and subordinates Michelle “Jamie” “Alex” Zajko and Daniel “Hastur” Blank were made inactive on Aug. 14; All scheduled future trial dates were canceled.

LaSota, Zajko and Blank were arrested together following a national manhunt on Feb. 16, 2025 in rural western Maryland. They were found with a cache of weapons in their two box trucks. They had spent years moving around the country as members of the Zizians, a radical transgender cult who has been linked to at least eight violent deaths.

The three initially faced only misdemeanor trespassing, firearms and obstruction charges after an elderly Frostburg-area property owner reported that they had arrived in box trucks and asked to camp on his property.

Authorities later added charges involving the alleged illegal possession and carrying of concealed and loaded firearms.

HHS Official Slams ‘Wolves in White Coats’ Who Transitioned Kids – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

A top Trump administration healthcare official has labeled doctors who push children into gender transitions and then abandon them to the devastating consequences “wolves in white coats.”

On August 22, Adm. Brian Christine, assistant secretary for health, went on NTD News and discussed the new Health and Human Services crackdown on fraudulent insurance coding for “sex-rejecting procedures” on minors. There are millions of dollars in the gender transition industry, which is why quite a few woke doctors and medical professionals are happy to encourage it. But when the kids realize they can never be the opposite sex and want to reverse the so-called treatments, the dishonest doctors simply drop them and move on. The surgeries are irreversible, and so is the regret.

Adm. Christine explained that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s HHS team actually took the time to talk to parents and children who regret the procedures they accepted in pursuit of transgender ideology. Instead of mocking or ignoring detransitioners, the Trump administration is giving them a voice.

“We also heard again and again from these children and their families, is that when they had decided, and and you alluded to this, when they had decided ‘no, I made a mistake. I’ve been led down this path, but …this isn’t right, I want to stop my treatment, and I want to try to detransition and go back.’ They were virtually abandoned by the same wolves in white coats who led them down this pathway, they were abandoned, which, again, is heartbreaking, is heartbreaking to hear.”

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Monday to public schools to stop encouraging “gender transitions” for confused students or face consequences.

Speaking from the White House Rose Garden during a back-to-school event with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, the president lamented the “extreme ideologies” such as “transgender insanity” that have taken root in schools in recent years.

“Transgender didn’t work. Students were taught that our heroes are villains. The FBI was used to target patriotic parents at school board meetings. And meanwhile, far too many government-run schools failed at the basics,” he said. “Under the Trump administration, we’re systematically ending every single one of these radical-left betrayals and we’re putting the parents back in charge. They’re the ones that love our children. They’re the ones that should be in charge.”

“Every public school in America is now on notice: That if they tell a child that they are trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse,” he declared.

You can respect all people, regardless of how confused they are about their gender, while also acknowledging that men do not belong in women’s sports. This should not be controversial. In fact, it should be such a nonissue that the conversation should not even exist. The problem, however, is that we are dealing with some of the most idiotic and delusional members of society.

According to Charles Barkley, “Under no circumstances do I think men should play against women. Zero.” He said this in response to the WNBA trans insanity. And the fact that it even needs to be said is the problem.

According to the Daily Mail:

‘First of all, I always support the gay community. I always support the transgender community,’ Barkley began. ‘I got nothing but love and respect for gay people and transgender people, but under no circumstances do I think men should play against women. Zero. I’m disappointed in Adam Silver and Cathy [Engelbert], the commissioner.’

Barkley believes that the league has completely lost control of the situation and has allowed bad faith actors to push a political agenda and highlight a problem that does not exist.

He also said Silver and Engelbert should have made a stronger push against trans inclusion in the WNBA before stopping the conversation.

Amid controversy surrounding who can and should play in the Women’s National Basketball Association, former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom has declared himself to be an eligible prospect. The announcement challenges the assertions of WNBA coaches and some players who say that trans women, also known as men, should be able to compete on women’s sports teams.

In a video, Freedom said “after careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I am officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.”

“My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May 2027,” he continued.

“I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect and community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the current rules be equally applied to everyone, the rules that represent the very values that many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.

“My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception. And I look forward to the WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp.”

A Michigan physician assistant (PA) who alleged she was fired after refusing to comply with hospital transgender policies because of her religious beliefs is receiving a $410,000 settlement in her wrongful termination lawsuit.

Valerie Kloosterman sued University of Michigan Health-West (UMHW) filed suit in 2022 after she was fired in August 2021, alleging the 200-bed suburban Grand Rapids teaching hospital was requiring her to go against her conscience as a Christian.

“All I wanted to do was provide the best care possible to my patients without being forced to violate my Christian beliefs,” Kloosterman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

She was represented in the lawsuit by First Liberty Institute, which documented that Kloosterman had “received positive performance reviews throughout her employment before raising faith-based objections to mandatory gender identity training,” the news outlet reported.

The legal advocacy nonprofit reported she was terminated after requesting a religious accommodation from finishing training that “required her to affirm statements about gender identity that were in violation of her Christian faith.”

No effort was made to accommodate her, according to the institute which takes on civil rights cases to “reclaim religious freedom in America.”

According to Fox Digital’s report:

The lawsuit says University of Michigan Health-West officials called her to a meeting, where they disparaged her religious beliefs, called her “evil” and a “liar,” told her she could not bring her Christian beliefs into the workplace, and accused her of contributing to suicides among individuals with gender dysphoria.

Aspiring journalists still want First Amendment exceptions for hurt feelings

A month ago, The College Fix reported on Defending Education’s lawsuit against the University of California system for allegedly requiring the use of “preferred pronouns.”

The lawsuit asserted that a student “who uses ‘he’ or ‘him’ when referring to a biological male who identifies as a female will be punished for ‘misgendering’ that student.”

Defending Education Senior Legal Counsel Sarah Parshall Perry noted colleges certainly can act to prohibit true harassment — “targeted, severe, and pervasive conduct that interferes with a student’s education” — but can’t “weaponize vague harassment policies to regulate viewpoints on matters of public concern, such as biological sex and gender identity.”

Four members of the Republican Party voted with Democrats to strike down an amendment in the defense authorization act. This amendment would permanently ban transgenders in the military. This would also have prevented biological males from using biological females’ private spaces. Right now, it is only Trump’s executive orders that sustain this standard in the U.S. military today.

The amendment to the NDAA sought to codify President Trump’s January 2025 executive order on the matter.

Four House Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday to defeat an amendment that would have written President Donald Trump‘s executive order barring transgender individuals from serving in the US military into federal law.

The amendment, introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., failed in a narrow 212-217 vote during House consideration of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a must-pass defense policy bill that sets priorities and authorizes funding for the Department of Defense. The Republicans who voted against the amendment were Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Delegate James Moylan of Guam, and Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds of the Northern Mariana Islands. The measure was defeated after all Democrats opposed it.

Boebert’s amendment sought to codify President Trump’s January 2025 executive order, which states that “expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.” The order also directs the Department of Defense to prohibit biological males from using female-designated sleeping, changing, and bathing facilities, and vice versa.

While the executive order remains in effect, the vote comes as legal challenges to the administration’s transgender military policy continue to move through the courts. In June, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled 2-1 that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth‘s policy requiring the separation of some currently serving transgender service members was likely motivated by unconstitutional animus. However, the court noted that the case did not address restrictions on future enlistments, which involve different legal considerations.

Indiana Fever shooting guard and team enforcer Sophie Cunningham is making the rounds, first becoming a viral sensation with her pointing meme from a June 24 game against the Phoenix Mercury: she and DeWanna Bonner got into it in a tense fourth quarter filled with technical fouls and drama. Cunningham’s pointing and trolling of Bonner has become a fan favorite staple.

Yet, she has now angered progressive audiences by rightly claiming that transgenders shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s sports. The funny part is that this isn’t a controversial topic, since 70 percent of Americans agree. That side lost the plot, with faces of the movement appearing too unhinged, too moronic, too stupid, and prone to public collapses. This is America—people will disagree, and if you can’t handle that, you should do something else. Activism isn’t for you.

Cunningham was asked about her stance in a pre-game press conference, where she shut down a reporter trying to stir the pot. She struck a sensible tone, adding that she’s not political and everyone is deserving of love and respect, but there are the rights of biological women that must be protected. She’s not compromising on that position.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a monumental ruling last week protecting the sanctity of women’s sports from trans-identifying men. That decision, however, left open a loophole exploited by pro-trans activists in their lawfare against policies recognizing biological reality.

In West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld (6-3) laws passed by Idaho and West Virginia ensuring women’s sports are reserved for female athletes. Writing for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh ruled that the statutes do not violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause or, in the B.P.J. case, Title IX.

“Consistent with Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, we hold that the States may maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females. They may determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex. The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women’s and girls’ sports throughout America,” Kavanaugh wrote.

The women’s sports decision builds upon the great work the court did last term when it upheld state laws barring harmful “trans” procedures from being conducted on minors. In that case (U.S. v. Skrmetti), the same 6-3 majority ruled that those statutes do not violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to protect women’s and girls’ sports is making waves across the pond, too. Author J.K. Rowling, a staunch defender of women’s rights in the face of radical trans activism, even took the BBC to task for its shameful coverage of the ruling.

Here’s what the BBC said.

And here’s some of what they wrote:

The US Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban transgender women from competing in female school and college sports.

The court considered cases from students in two different states who had challenged bans on participation. The two states, Idaho and West Virginia, enacted laws that required public school and college sports teams to compete in accordance with their sex recorded at birth.

One of the two challenges said the ban violates equal rights protections in the US Constitution. The other said it contradicts civil rights laws.

More than two dozen states have enacted bans since Idaho did so in 2020. President Donald Trump celebrated the decision in a social media post as a “BIG WIN”.

Under those state bans, a transgender woman – a biological male who identifies as a woman – is not permitted to compete in female sports at schools and colleges.

I started my career as a high school history teacher back in 1985. I taught my students about the Holocaust every year and was fortunate enough one summer to be selected for a special National Endowment for the Humanities seminar for teachers, led by Professor Lawrence Langer, a leading Holocaust scholar. Professor Langer came up with the term the “choiceless choice” to describe the no-win situations Jews were put in during the Holocaust, when there was simply no real choice to be made in the face of the genocidal Nazis. The idea has stuck with me for four decades.

It came to mind again when I read a recent Washington Post article following the Supreme Court’s adverse ruling in our case, BPJ v. West Virginia, on June 30, in which Julian Mark writes, “Critics, including some trans rights advocates, say the movement has rushed to tee up causes that the court’s 6-3 conservative majority is not ready to embrace.” While elements of the article were thoughtful, it is based on a flawed premise that warrants exploration.

First of all, the idea that “the [LGBTQ+] movement has rushed to tee up [trans] causes” is completely off the mark. There have been 2,446 bills designed to limit the rights of LGBTQ+ people introduced into state legislatures since 2022 — at least one in every single one of our 50 states — and 255 of them have become law in 27 states. The large majority of these laws are aimed at trans people. The LGBTQ+ movement didn’t “tee up” these laws: the opponents of the LGBTQ+ movement did, because they saw a political advantage to be won by picking on a small and relatively powerless minority and cynically exploited it. In other words, we didn’t pick this fight. We didn’t “tee up” trans issues. Our opponents did.
