Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Wednesday defended transgender rights in her State of the State address, a day after President Trump criticized gender transition in his State of the Union address. “In Michigan, everyone deserves to be who they are and love who they love. I want to take a moment and speak directly…

A THIRD relative of transgender killer Robert Dorgan has died nine days after a horror ice hockey shooting.
Gerald Dorgan, 75, the shooter’s ex-father-in-law, had been in critical condition since the February 16 shooting.
We’re repeatedly told that transgender-identifying individuals are not prone to commit gun violence. Major outlets — including the The New York Times, AP, CNN, and The Washington Post — publish articles arguing that transgender attacks are extremely rare and run headlines calling out conservative bias: “The right exploits Nashville shooting to escalate anti-trans rhetoric” and “Conservatives use Minneapolis shooting in anti-transgender campaigns.”
In the wake of the attacks in Canada and Pawtucket, Rhode Island, over the past couple of weeks, public debate has once again focused on transgender murderers. But the AP, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, MS Now, and the New York Times never mentioned the Rhode Island shooter identified as transgender. AP never mentioned the Canadian mass murderer was transgender. Other transgender-identifying people recently also posed serious threats even though they never got a chance to fire a shot. For example, Nicholas Roske, who now identifies as transgender, attempted to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and took concrete steps toward carrying out the attack before authorities stopped him.
The tech firm’s safety team has been called to Ottawa to explain why it failed to alert police about an account linked to a mass shooter
Canadian officials have summoned senior OpenAI representatives to Ottawa to answer questions about the tech company’s safety protocols after it confirmed it did not alert police about an account linked to mass shooter Jesse Van Rutselaar.
Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon said on Monday that OpenAI’s senior safety officials will come to Ottawa on Tuesday to outline how the company decides when to notify law enforcement.
The U.K. appears to be done with the transgender movement and its insatiable demands, even as the European Union continues to double down.
In the aftermath of a landmark Supreme Court ruling declaring that transgenders can’t legally change their biological sex, the U.K. has been slowly bringing “clarity and confidence” and reestablishing gender normalcy in schools, sports, healthcare, business, and the law through governmental guidance and court decisions.
Colorado’s Democrat state legislators want to force transgenderism on parents, requiring them to affirm their child’s “gender identity” or risk losing custody.
Radical lawmakers introduced “Concerning Legal Protections for The Dignity of a Minor” (SB 26-018) on Jan. 14, and the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill, referring it to the full Senate on Feb. 18.
In its intended form, the bill requires courts to consider whether parents embrace their child’s “gender identity” when determining custody. Courts must favor parents who support their child’s “preferred name and pronouns” and push their child to receive harmful and damaging “transgender” drugs, hormones, and surgeries.
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke claimed during a Thursday hearing that pornography could be “educational” for “queer” children while arguing against a law requiring age verification to access adult web sites.
The legislation HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed “harmful to minors,” with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth.
“The AGs in many states are, are very clear about that they’re almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer,” Finke claimed during the Thursday hearing. “And you’re a principal, you have LGBT students in your school, and we also know that they’re not receiving sex education for queer kids. We know that. Prurient interest could be for many people the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids.”
Another hospital is being forced to stop its Moloch practice of sacrificing children to the transgendered god. NYU Langone Health has announced it is cancelling its transgender treatment program for kids out of fear of losing federal funding.
The hospital appeared to be clueless to the violent pedophilic crimes it has committed, confessing it ended the program due to the “current regulatory environment,” and not because mutilating children to satisfy your transgender ideology is pure evil, as normal human beings can clearly see and understand.
It stated, “Given the recent departure of our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program. We are committed to helping patients in our care manage this change. This does not impact our pediatric mental health care programs, which will continue.”

A New York hospital announced Tuesday it is discontinuing its so-called “Transgender Youth Health Program,” citing leadership changes and regulatory pressure.
NYU Langone Health, a Manhattan-based hospital system, said the program offered medical interventions such as hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries to minors.
Similar decisions have occurred at other institutions amid the same federal pressures.
In a statement provided by spokesman Steve Ritea, the hospital said:
“Given the recent departure of our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program. We are committed to helping patients in our care manage this change. This does not impact our pediatric mental health care programs, which will continue.”
The heroic bystander, Michael Black, who risked his own life to try to subdue the transgender gunman in Rhode Island on Monday, recounted the harrowing incident on Tuesday. He described how, after he tackled the shooter, his hand became caught in the gunman’s slide, stopping him from causing further harm, and how he witnessed the shooter pull out a second gun and take his own life.
Planned Parenthood has a new term for men. And as the abortion giant has done with women and unborn children, it’s totally de-humanizing.
“People who carry sperm.”
Sorry men, that’s all you are. You have no value or worth to the Planned Parenthood abortion business other than the biological fact that you carry sperm.
(LifeSiteNews) — The same week in which a deranged trans-identifying man opened fire at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island, killing two people and critically injuring two, the actor Ted Levine has come out to apologize for the supposedly “transphobic” nature of his character Buffalo Bill, the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs. The Oscar-winning film has long been fiercely criticized for its portrayal of a deranged and sadistic killer who is transgender.
“There are certain aspects of the movie that don’t hold up too well,” Levine told The Hollywood Reporter. “We all know more, and I’m a lot wiser about transgender issues. There are some lines in that script and movie that are unfortunate. [It’s] just over time and having gotten aware and worked with trans folks, and understanding a bit more about the culture and the reality of the meaning of gender.”
The glossary is full of exciting, new progressive words and phrases.
Boston U. teaching hospital glossary says ‘biology’ doesn’t define sex
The primary teaching hospital of Boston University’s medical school recently updated its “Glossary for Culture Transformation” to include dozens of ideologically loaded terms, a medical advocacy group found.
For example, Boston Medical Center’s glossary includes entries for “assigned sex at birth,” “LGBTQIA+,” “fatphobia,” “anti-blackness,”
A week after a trans-identifying man went on a rampage in Western Canada, killing six children and two adults, another man who masqueraded as a woman allegedly took aim at innocents — this time at a local skating rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
Families, students, and supporters flocked to the Dennis M. Lynch Arena on Monday afternoon to watch a boys’ high school hockey game between the Blackstone Valley School and Coventry-Johnson co-op teams.
‘Do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.’
The suspected shooter who opened fire at a Rhode Island high school hockey arena on Monday evening is a 56-year-old man who identified as transgender and made a number of alarming posts on social media prior to the shooting.
The suspect, Robert Dorgan, also went by Roberta and used the last name Esposito. Dorgan posted on X the night before the shooting, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK,” in response to an anti-transgender post referring to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) by their birth name, “Tim McBride.”
Mentally unstable male predators, encouraged by woke culture to claim they have gender dysphoria as a license to invade women’s spaces — and worse — have been on a real rampage lately.
UPDATE: The man who opened fire in a Rhode Island ice arena shot and killed his wife and shot two of his kids before turning the gun on himself, according to Fox News. The incident is being called a “domestic violence” altercation that turned deadly, according to the outlet.
All members of the Coventry Boys Hockey team have been accounted for and are safe.
Original article: At least two people were killed in an apparent mass shooting at an indoor ice rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on Monday afternoon, according to local reports.
There was something about the way the premier of British Columbia, David Eby, struggled to his words in front of the cameras that said a lot about how Canadians view the school shooting in a small town called Tumbler Ridge.
“This is the kind of thing that feels like it happens in other places, and not close to home.”
He is right about that. People expect this sort of thing to take place south of the border, in the United States – but not in Canada – not in a place like Tumbler Ridge.
A shooting rampage at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left 10 people dead and more than 25 injured on Tuesday, marking one of the deadliest school attacks in Canadian history.
Authorities said the gunfire erupted shortly after 1:20 p.m. local time at the high school in the remote community. Six victims were killed inside the building before the suspect was later found dead from what police described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A seventh victim died while being transported to a hospital. Investigators also discovered two additional bodies at a nearby residence believed to be connected to the attack, reportedly the suspect’s mother and younger brother.

The transgender individual alleged to be responsible for Tuesday’s deadly shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School has been identified by a close family member as Jesse Strang.
Juno News reported that it spoke directly with Russell G. Strang, Jesse Strang’s uncle, who confirmed that his nephew was responsible for the attack. The outlet’s managing editor, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, stated on X that he had spoken with the suspect’s uncle and added that a YouTube account believed to belong to Jesse Strang features the transgender flag and lists “she/her” pronouns. The account also reportedly displays an SKS-style rifle. He also linked to his exclusive report.
Original story follows:
A school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia left 10 dead and 25 injured on Tuesday night. The RCMP said that the shooter is among the dead after a self-inflicted gun shot.
A motive for the rampage, which occured before 1:20 pm local time, at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence has not yet been determined and North District commander Ken Floyd of the British Columbia RCMP has declined to identify the shooter in any way.
However, a police alert earlier in the day stated that the suspect was a “female in a dress with brown hair.”
A rural community in British Columbia, Canada, is reeling after a shooter allegedly opened fire inside Tumbler Ridge Secondary School Tuesday, reportedly killing nine and injuring dozens.
The suspect died from what’s being described as a “self-inflicted injury,” according to CBC News.
Nine people were confirmed dead, and at least 25 others were injured, the outlet reported.
The Loudoun County School Board in January hosted a training to teach staff and board members how to fight off “terrorist” parents, according to eyewitnesses.
The closed-door meeting was meant to respond to “terrorist activity” at school board meetings and included dozens of hired actors playing the role of Loudoun County parents, according to 7News. Sources who were present at the meeting told the outlet the actors simulated parents bringing guns into the meeting, and staff were instructed on the same measures students are taught to use in the event of an active shooter situation: “run, hide, and fight.”
President Trump has expanded the Mexico City Policy, which blocked U.S. foreign aid to organizations that promote or support abortion, to also block aid going to organizations that promote gender ideology. Trump’s presidency has been characterized by putting American interests first. This revision to the Mexico City Policy reflects one element of this: standing for biological reality.
“The Department does not believe taxpayer dollars should support sex-rejecting procedures, directly or indirectly for individuals of any age,” the policy states. “A person’s body (including its organs, organ systems, and processes natural to human development like puberty) either healthy or unhealthy based on whether they are operating according to their biological functions.”
(The Washington Stand) — In progressive America, the Democratic Party’s litmus test for public service is transgender ideology. And not just casual support, nor a general affirmation of “LGBTQ+ rights.” Those who wish to participate in the system must embrace every last jot and tittle of the transgender agenda, specifically.
For those who prefer to side with the truth, even members of other favored minority groups had better look out, lest the door hit them on the way out.
The latest casualty to this ideological intolerance is Glenna Goldis, a lawyer in the New York attorney general’s office, who was fired in late January for telling the truth about the lack of evidence for carrying out gender transition procedures on minors.
The U.S. Department of Education found the California Department of Education (CDE) in violation of federal family rights law on Wednesday for facilitating the gender “transition” of children and hiding it from their parents.
California pressured school districts across the state to violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a student privacy and parental rights law, by forcing them to conceal student records from parents about their child’s so-called “gender transition,” according to a senior department official detailing the results of an investigation Wednesday.
(LifeSiteNews) — In what is being hailed as a first of its kind courtroom victory against the “gender transition” industry, a jury has awarded $2 million to a young woman, who, as a teen, was disfigured by so-called “gender-affirming doctors.”
The now-22-year-old, Fox Varian, who no longer identifies as transgender, underwent a double mastectomy when she was just a 16-year-old.
Varian had testified during the trial that she had quickly regretted having her body mutilated.
“I immediately had a thought that this was wrong, and it couldn’t be true,” said the young woman. “It’s hard to face that you are disfigured for life.”
Washington state prison officials privately acknowledged that “trans” men could have more sinister motives for wanting to be housed with females.
A group of “gender affirming” mental health specialists discussed how to prevent inmates from requesting sex-changes for “secondary gain” rather than gender dysphoria during an internal monthly meeting. Secondary gain is a psychiatric term that describes the benefits a person with a mental disorder gleans from their neurosis such as “extra attention, sympathy, avoidance of work, and domination of others,” according to the American Psychological Association.
“The topic was on secondary gain and how certain individuals want gender affirming services, but it is not due to gender dysphoria,” the September 2024 meeting notes show. “The question was asked how to prevent that,” the records state.
The Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, the largest children’s hospital in the city, announced last week that it would stop providing prescriptions for gender-mutilating drugs to minors in response to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) referring them and other hospitals for investigation.
In a January 20 statement shared with local media, the Lurie Children’s Hospital announced it would temporarily pause handing out prescriptions for so-called “gender-affirming” drugs such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy to children under 18 that the hospital had not previously treated. The children’s hospital stressed that the decision came in response to HHS’ January 15 announcement that the Chicago hospital, as well as several other prominent children’s hospitals, had been referred to the department’s Office of the Inspector General (HHS-OIG) for investigation for failing to comply with the department’s official guidance emphasizing the danger of these “sex-rejecting drugs.”

A day before the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., 76 House Republicans joined their Democrat colleagues in defeating a measure aimed at preventing taxpayer dollars from bankrolling facilities that perform abortions and “trans” surgeries on children.
The moment came late Thursday afternoon when the GOP-controlled House of Representatives killed an amendment put forward by Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., to a FY2026 government spending bill. The amendment sought to ax Senate-inserted earmarks that allocate millions in taxpayer money to entities that conduct harmful “trans” procedures on minors and abortions.
The final House vote was 136-291, with nine members not voting. Here’s the roll call showing how every member voted.
Some Democrats realize they have a problem with transgender orthodoxy, but not New York Attorney General Letitia James—she’s doubling down.
Last week, she fired Glenna Goldis, the assistant attorney general at the Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau, apparently for the crime of expressing concern about the mutilation of children.
Goldis announced her departure in a lengthy post on X. She claimed James fired her “for speaking out against pediatric gender medicine.”
