On Tuesday, Democrats on the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism Committee voted down Assembly Bill 89, which would have prohibited male students from competing in girls’ sports, and Assembly Bill 844, which would have required educational institutions to require students to use the bathroom or locker room according to their biological sex.

In a 7-2 vote, all Democrats on the committee voted against AB 89. Though many people traveled to testify about the harms they had suffered under California’s current athletic policies, Democrats claimed that there were only a handful of transgender students competing in girls’ sports. They instead turned the focus on President Donald Trump’s administration.

“There is no epidemic of transgender kids playing basketball, soccer, or any other sport, for that matter,” Speaker Robert Rivas claimed. “The real threat is the Trump administration taking away abortion access and dismantling programs that help women. And finally, I can’t emphasize this point enough — I’m not going to support a bill that takes rights away from a protected class of people,”

Excerpt:

The Department of Agriculture said on Wednesday that it had frozen federal funding for education programs in Maine, the latest in a barrage of actions targeting the state since its Democratic governor, Janet Mills, sparred with President Donald Trump over the issue of transgender athletes at the White House in February.

The agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, notified Mills in a letter that funding would be stopped while the agency reviews grants awarded to Maine by the Biden administration, many of which “appear to be wasteful, redundant, or otherwise against the priorities of the Trump administration,” Rollins wrote in the letter, according to a statement.

It was not immediately clear which educational programs would be affected by the funding freeze. The government’s statement said its latest action would not alter “federal feeding programs or direct assistance to citizens.”

The U.S. Army Reserve is taking “appropriate action” against a captain who claimed the Trump administration is attempting to erase transgender people, the Daily Caller can confirm.

On “Transgender Day of Visibility,” a soldier who identified as Christina Winters posted a video on TikTok criticizing the Trump administration under the username “alexandrahamilton01.”

Captain Winters slammed the Trump administration for its recent actions related to transgender individuals, including a prohibition on transgender people serving in the military and a ban on medical facilities providing sex changes for minors.

“The current administration wants us to not be visible, they want us to be invisible, they want to remove us from society,” Winters alleged. “They want to ensure that we are disenfranchised, that we no longer have a voice, that we no longer have the right to enter any space that is safe.”

A blue-haired brigade of bulges took to Washington D.C. to demand our nation affirm their delusions as part of their so-called “Transgender Day of Visibility,” Monday.

It’s not like they’re hard to spot already… All I had to do was look for the trail of kids.

But when I approached the rainbow crowd to ask what more visibility could they possibly achieve, demonstrators only wished to be seen and not heard. They were confident enough in their ideology to stomp and scream at our Capitol building with bright picket signs, but not enough to elaborate why they were present.

When I tried to ask, the mob grew violent as an enraged Rosie O’Donnell stunt double grabbed my microphone and chucked it yards away.

The California legislature rejected two bills seeking to ban men from participating in women’s sports on Tuesday, with some lawmakers calling it “cruel.”

One of the bill’s lawmakers voted to block “would have required the California Interscholastic Federation, the governing body for high school sports, to adopt rules banning students whose sex was assigned male at birth from participating on a girls’ school sports team,” noted The Associated Press.

The other bill would have reversed a 2013 law allowing students to participate in sex-segregated school programs, including on sports teams, and use bathrooms and other facilities that align with their gender identity.”

Both bills would have applied to K-12 students as well as college students.

Republicans supported the bill, arguing it would protect women, while Democrats denounced it as a cruel attack on LGBTQ rights and transgender youth.

“I don’t think anybody should be gender policing women and girls,” said Democratic Assemblymember Chris Ward.

(LifeSiteNews) — Pride comes before a fall – and as some major companies rethink previous “woke” policies, the corporate gravy train LGBT activists have relied on to fund their activism has finally begun to slow. 

According to NPR, both Anheuser-Busch – famous for beer brands like Beck’s and Budweiser – and the telecoms giant Comcast have both pulled funding from San Francisco Pride. Anheuser-Busch has also ended their sponsorship with St. Louis Pride. 

They aren’t the only ones. Diageo, the beverage company responsible for Johnny Walker, Smirnoff, and Guinness has pulled support from San Francisco Pride, as has Jackson Family Wines (which includes La Crema Wines). Meta, the tech giant that includes both Facebook and Instagram, has also reportedly pulled funding from San Francisco Pride. 

Significantly, a number of those companies have been attempting to distance themselves from wokeness after spending years wrapping themselves in the rainbow flag. Mark Zuckerberg of Meta announced earlier this year that he was reintroducing free speech to Meta’s social media platforms and began by removing many of the restrictions around LGBT debates (and had the tampon dispensers removed from the male washrooms at Facebook’s headquarters).

The school board must now make books with themes and images of violence, graphic sex, and suicidal ideation widely available to young teens against the wishes of many parents, but an appeal is already being planned.

A U.S. District Court judge has mandated that Colorado’s Elizabeth School District reinstate 19 previously removed books to its library shelves.

This decision follows a lawsuit initiated by the NAACP alongside students, asserting that the school board aimed to “limit students’ access to any books that contravene the Board members’ partisan, political values.”

The controversy began in August 2024 when the Elizabeth School Board voted to remove certain books from school libraries. Board officials cited concerns over the content they deemed inappropriate, including graphic violence, racism, and discrimination, ideations of self-harm or mental illness, and sexual content.

Excerpt:

The Department of Education (ED) announced Wednesday it has found the Maine Department of Education in violation of civil rights laws for continuing to allow men to compete in women’s sports.

Ed opened an investigation into the state in February after a public spat between President Donald Trump and Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills during which the governor declined to comply with Trump’s ban on men in women’s sports. The investigation concluded the state “has policies and practices that are in violation of Title IX,” according to a press release.

“The outcome of OCR’s investigation of MDOE confirms that it has violated federal antidiscrimination law by allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and boys to occupy girls’ intimate facilities,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for Civil Rights at the department said in a statement. “Today’s findings and proposed resolution agreement demonstrate to MDOE and any other entity receiving federal funding that the Trump Administration will not tolerate unlawful discrimination against girls and women. If Maine does not swiftly and completely come into compliance with Title IX, we will initiate the process to limit MDOE’s access to federal funding.”

The Trump administration has suspended approximately $175 million US in federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania over the participation of a transgender athlete in its swimming program, the White House said Wednesday.

The Ivy League school has been facing an Education Department investigation focused on its swimming program. That inquiry was announced last month immediately after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls and women’s sports.

However, the federal money that was suspended came from a separate review of discretionary funding for universities, the White House said. It came from the Department of Defence and the Department of Health and Human Services.

A Penn spokesperson said the school had not received any notification or details of the action.

“It is important to note, however, that Penn has always followed NCAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association] and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on athletic teams,” spokesperson Ron Ozio said.

An Ohio appeals court partially overturned the state’s ban on gender-affirming medical care for minors.

Why it matters: The Tuesday decision delivers a win for transgender kids as the Trump administration vows to ban funding for youth gender-affirming care nationwide.

State of play: A three-judge panel on the Ohio’s 10th District Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling by deciding that a state law preventing transgender kids from accessing puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormone therapy for kids violates parents’ rights.

What they’re saying: “This win restores the right of trans youth in Ohio to choose vitally important health care, with the support of their families and physicians,” ACLU of Ohio legal director Freda Levenson said in a statement.

On March 17, the Lake County Gazette reported that Deerfield School District 109 administrators forced the girls at Shepard Middle School to share their locker room with a so-called “transgender” student.

The staffers involved were reported as District 109 “Assistant Superintendent for Student Services” Joanna Ford, “Assistant Principal” Cathy Van Treese and “Director for Student Services” Ginger Logemann. Reportedly, the young girls complained in February about a boy using their locker room. The adults in charge escorted the girls to their locker room and “tried to force them to change in front of the boy,” the Gazette said.

Unlike similar laws in other states that primarily target adult entertainment platforms, HB 43 has a much broader scope. The law applies to any website that hosts “material harmful to minors,” expanding the range of online content subject to age verification requirements.

Under this definition, “material harmful to minors” includes “any picture, image, graphic image file, film, videotape, or other visual depiction that is obscene or is child pornography.” This classification extends to material that is already illegal to distribute under existing laws.

Excerpt:

At least 32 public school districts in Rhode Island have parental exclusion policies and refuse to notify parents if their child begins identifying as a gender different from their own.

According to a report from Parents Defending Education (PDE), 113,452 Rhode Island students (83%) attend schools that actively hide this information from parents. PDE noted the number is likely higher, as the 32 have their policies publicly available, but the state actually enacted guidance to get all school districts to keep the critical medial information secret.

“Parents have a right to know what’s going on with their children in school, especially something as sensitive and emotional as gender identity. These parental exclusion policies are one of the biggest scandals in America and are now found in a supermajority of Rhode Island schools,” Paul Runko, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Parents Defending Education, told The Federalist. “Keeping secrets from parents is not only extremely unpopular but it is immoral. These policies are causing increased distrust between parents and schools, which is never good for student mental health or academic achievement.”

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday, recognized as National Girls and Women in Sports Day, prohibiting males claiming to be female from competing in girls’ and women’s sports.

The order called the practice of schools and athletic associations allowing males to compete against females, “demeaning, unfair, and dangerous” and that it “denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports”.

The document notes that Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 requires educational institutions that receive federal funding to provide equal opportunity for females. As such, it stated, “it is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy.”

The order requires the Secretary of Education to take action to protect “all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms.”

“I enjoy the work I do. I like working with the people I work with. The Army is my community,” says Cole, one of six trans service members who are suing the Trump Administration for its trans military ban, an Executive Order announced on January 27 that prohibits transgender troops from enlisting and serving openly in the military. “It’s my life.”

While the way the Department of Defense would implement the ban is unclear, the Executive Order would cut Cole and other trans service members from their jobs.

The National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law) filed a federal lawsuit on January 28 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the Trump Administration in response to the order, saying the ban violates equal protection.

Insurrectionist NY Attorney General Letitia James has informed hospitals in her jurisdiction that they must follow state law, and disregard concern over the loss of federal funding so you can and WILL continue to chemically castrate, physically mutilate children in the name of the trans ideology.

Trump issued an order January 28 prohibiting federal funding for hospitals that give “gender affirming” surgery, hormone treatment to children under 18. James wrote, “Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws, including those that prohibit discrimination against individuals based on their membership in a protected class, such as sex [and] gender identity or expression.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has warned hospitals in her state that they must continue providing so-called “gender affirming care” to minors, despite an executive order from President Donald Trump, or risk possible repercussions for engaging in “discrimination.”

On January 28, Trump issued an executive order prohibiting federal funding for medical facilities that supposedly help a child 18 years old or younger “‘transition’ … from one sex to another.” The order described such procedures as “chemical and surgical mutilation” and noted they often result in permanent reproductive damage.

“Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding. Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization,” the executive order explained.

A transgender Resident Assistant at Utah State University has prompted controversy and concern, but a campus official says the school is just following the law.

The situation was publicized by a recent post on X that claimed a transgender student was serving as a “dorm mom” in a female housing unit.

Amanda DeRito, a spokesperson for the school, told The College Fix via email there are several clarifications needed regarding the situation, which was made viral by a post on X three days ago that has since amassed 3.5 million views.

For example, she said the school does not have an all-women’s dorm, and the terminology in the viral post, that the transgender student serves as a “dorm mom,” is inaccurate.

“For clarity, USU does not have all-female or all-male residence halls. Merril Hall is a co-ed where students choose their rooms according to the gender they report. Resident assistants do not act in a parental role, and we do not call them dorm moms,” DeRito told The Fix.

Big Tech’s about-face on free speech takes away transgender activists’ advantage– www.lifesitenews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The transgender movement captured the institutions of Big Tech almost overnight, and the cultural power this granted them was extraordinary. Now, they are losing that power — and fighting back desperately.

When both Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and Twitter (now X) enforced their ideology, the terms of the cultural debate over gender ideology became not only incredibly narrow but was essentially limited to vocabulary pre-approved by the transgender movement.

On Twitter, for example, referring to trans-identifying males as males — such as referring to Bruce Jenner as a “he” — could get you permanently banned from the platform. “Deadnaming” — calling Jenner “Bruce” rather than “Caitlyn,” for example — would also get you evicted from Twitter and, thus, the public debate about gender ideology. The terms set by the social media giants ensured that opponents of gender ideology could not tell the truth without being removed from the debate.

It is clear that the cultural impact of these gatekeepers was enormous. When Elon Musk purchased Twitter, eliminated the speech rules, and restored the accounts of many influencers who had been banned for “misgendering” or “deadnaming,” the ripple effect was almost immediate. J.K. Rowling used the platform to launch a near-incessant rhetorical war against the transgender movement — to devastating effect. Previously silenced voices could suddenly get their message out to millions. This played a significant role even politically.
