This week, Facebook censored several ads from right-leaning organizations over faulty and misleading fact checks. In one example, however, a fact checker went beyond labeling an ad misleading and suggested it contained “a prediction we can’t fact-check.”
The ad was from the American Principles Project PAC, which spent $4 million on a campaign featuring an ad alleging incumbent Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would “destroy women’s sports” if they were elected. The ad centered around the so-called Equality Act, which among other things would allow biological men to compete in women’s sports. This, the ad said, would take away from female athletes “a fair shot at competition, at a scholarship, at a title, at victory.&#8221;
There is ample evidence for such concern, rooted in biology. Women simply can’t compete against men in sports, hence the need for separate women’s sports leagues. The Daily Wire has reported on numerous examples of biological men identifying as women excelling in women’s sports, such as the MMA fighter who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-male-trans-mma-fighter-who-beat-up-women-dubbed-bravest-athlete-in-history">fractured the skull</a> of a biologically female opponent. Or the trans athlete who won the women’s world cycling competition for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trans-athlete-wins-womens-world-cycling-competition-again-slams-transphobic-critics">second year in a row</a>. Such disparities have led to a lawsuit in Connecticut filed by three high school female athletes who have lost opportunities due to trans women competing against them.
“Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, and Chelsea Mitchell, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), were denied opportunities to compete at higher levels as boys took home the prizes,” The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boys-competing-with-girls-won-track-meets-the-girls-just-filed-a-lawsuit-in-federal-court">reported</a>. “CIAC’s policy allowed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-two-transgenders-blow-out-girls-state-meet-hank-berrien">two males to compete in girls’ athletic competitions</a> beginning in the 2017 track season. Those boys have taken 15 women’s state championship titles (titles held in 2016 by nine different Connecticut girls) and have taken more than 85 opportunities to participate in higher level competitions from female track athletes in the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons alone.”
Yet left-wing fact-checker PolitiFact deemed the ad to be “missing context” and attempting to “mislead people.”
As Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Center <a href="https://www.frc.org/updatearticle/20200916/facebook-asterisk">wrote</a>, the “‘missing context’ PolitiFact thought the ad should include was opinions in favor of the transgender push to destroy women&#8217;s sports.”
“Evidently, they think all conservative candidates should give their opponents airtime in ads they pay for within 60 days of the election. And it seems they thought the ad might ‘mislead people’ to vote for candidates who oppose the radical Equality Act,” Perkins continued.
PolitiFact found no actual errors in the ad but admitted the ad’s “specific criticism is &#8230; a prediction we can&#8217;t fact-check.&#8221;
Every political ad should come with these labels if PolitiFact maintained this standard. Yet Facebook eventually banned the ad after first appending fact-check labels to it.
This isn’t the first ad to receive dubious fact-check warnings on Facebook this week. As The Daily Wire’s John Bickley <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/facebook-censors-pro-trump-ad-on-biden-raising-taxes-after-fact-checker-admits-claim-may-be-true-rules-mostly-false-anyhow">reported</a>, an ad explaining that Biden would raise taxes “on all income groups” received a “mostly false” rating from PolitiFact despite the outlet acknowledging the claim was, in fact, true.
Biden actually said, “If you elect me, your taxes are going to be raised, not cut,” and said his plan would affect “all income groups.”
PolitiFact acknowledged that “some tax experts estimate that Biden’s plan would mean higher taxes on average for all income groups,” yet still gave it a “mostly false” rating because the ad didn’t give enough “context” to Biden’s claim. The “context,” PolitiFact wanted was for the ad to say that Biden’s tax hikes would affect high-earners far more than others. Another tax-focused ad from America First &#8212; which published the Biden tax ad &#8212; was also censored.

The Department of Education, headed by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, will withhold roughly $18 million from Connecticut school districts unless they withdraw from the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC), which permits biological boys to compete in girls’ athletic events.
School districts in New Haven, Hartford, and southeast Connecticut were supposed to receive a total of roughly $45 million from five-year grants, but the Education Department&#8217;s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has warned officials in those school districts they have until October 1 to withdraw from the conference or the remaining funding will be cut.
&#8220;The Education Department in May warned the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference that it considers allowing biologically male athletes to participate in girls’ sports a violation of Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits sex discrimination in programs that receive federal funding,” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/us/transgender-students-betsy-devos.html">The New York Times</a> noted.
On August 31, Kimberly M. Richey, Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, <a href="https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/investigations/more/01194025-a2.pdf">wrote to the Connecticut school districts</a>:
<blockquote>As an initial matter, despite some similarities, Title IX differs from Title VII in important respects. Title IX has different operative text, is subject to different statutory exceptions, and is rooted in a different Congressional power … Significantly, unlike Title VII, one of Title IX’s crucial purposes is protecting women’s and girls’ athletic opportunities. Indeed, Title IX was passed, and implemented by regulations, to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities and to protect equal athletic opportunity for students who are biological females, including providing for sex-segregated athletics.</blockquote>
She added, “There are circumstances in which a person’s sex is relevant, and distinctions based on the two sexes in such circumstances are permissible because the sexes are not similarly situated. Congress recognized as much in Title IX itself when it provided that nothing in the statute should be construed to prohibit “separate living facilities for the different sexes.”
Richey&#8217;s letter also stated that the OCR had warned the CIAC and other school districts that they had violated Title IX as early as February, writing, &#8220;Via e-mail on February 12, 2020, OCR notified the CIAC, Glastonbury, Bloomfield, Hartford, Cromwell, Canton, and Danbury that it had determined that the CIAC, Glastonbury, Bloomfield, Hartford, Cromwell, Canton, and Danbury violated Title IX, and provided a proposed resolution agreement (the Agreement) to each that would resolve OCR’s compliance concerns.&#8221; Those conversations continued through mid-March.
At roughly the same time in February, a lawsuit was filed in federal court by three high school girls and their mothers against the CIAC, which permitted boys to compete in events and win awards that would otherwise have gone to girls.
Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, and Chelsea Mitchell, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), were denied opportunities to compete at higher levels as boys took home the prizes. CIAC’s policy allowed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-two-transgenders-blow-out-girls-state-meet-hank-berrien">two males to compete in girls’ athletic competitions</a> beginning in the 2017 track season. Those boys took 15 women’s state championship titles (titles held in 2016 by nine different Connecticut girls) and more than 85 opportunities to participate in higher level competitions from female track athletes in the 2017, 2018, and 2019 seasons alone.
Mitchell, who was ranked the fastest biological girl in Connecticut in the 55m, lost four girls’ state championships and two all-New England awards. She recalled, “I knew that I was the fastest girl here, one of the fastest in the state. I remembered all my training and everything I had been taught on how to maximize my performance &#8230; I thought of all the times that other girls have lost. I could feel the adrenaline in my blood and hope that wafted from me. That just possibly, I could win this. Then, the gun went off. And I lost.”
In her letter, Richey continued, “On March 12, 2020, counsel for Bloomfield, Hartford, and Cromwell, and on March 13, 2020, counsel for the CIAC, Glastonbury, Canton and Danbury, informed OCR that their clients would not sign the Agreements.”
Richey concluded, “Based on the failure of the CIAC, Glastonbury, Bloomfield, Hartford, Cromwell, Canton, and Danbury to resolve the identified areas of noncompliance, OCR will either initiate administrative proceedings to suspend, terminate, or refuse to grant or continue and defer financial assistance to the CIAC, Glastonbury, Bloomfield, Hartford, Cromwell, Canton, and Danbury, or refer the cases to the U.S. Department of Justice for judicial proceedings to enforce any rights of the United States under its laws.”

&#8220;Mandalorian&#8221; actress Gina Carano hit back against a Twitter mob demanding she be fired for allegedly &#8220;mocking trans people&#8221; over the weekend.
After she was asked to show &#8220;solidarity&#8221; with trans folks by adding her &#8220;preferred pronouns&#8221; to her Twitter bio, Carano added &#8220;Beep/Bop/Boop&#8221; in lieu of the pronouns, triggering social justice warriors to blast the actress as transphobic.
Carano made it clear on Saturday that she would not be putting &#8220;preferred pronouns&#8221; in her bio but emphasized that she stands &#8220;against bullying.&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, Pedro [Pascal] &amp; I spoke &amp; he helped me understand why people were putting them in their bios,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I didn’t know before but I do now. I won’t be putting them in my bio but good for all you who choose to. I stand against bullying, especially the most vulnerable &amp; freedom to choose.&#8221;

The next day, in a response to conservative radio host Joe &#8220;Pags&#8221; Pagliarulo, Carano said the &#8220;woke world&#8221; was mad at her because she won&#8217;t &#8220;put pronouns&#8221; in her bio &#8220;to show my support for trans lives.&#8221;
&#8220;After months of harassing me in every way. I decided to put 3 VERY controversial words in my bio.. beep/bop/boop,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I’m not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation.&#8221;

Accused of &#8220;mocking&#8221; trans people over the bio change, the actress responded, &#8220;I don’t think trans people would like all of you trying to force a woman to put something in her bio through harassment &amp; name calling EVERYDAY for MONTHS. Such as &#8216;Racist&#8217; &#8216;Transphobe&#8217; &#8216;B****&#8217; &#8216;Weirdo&#8217; &#8216;I hope you die&#8217; &#8216;I hope you lose your career&#8217; &#8216;[you&#8217;re] fat, you’re ugly.&#8221;
&#8220;Maybe they should be mad at the mockery so many of you made of them,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I sure would be, if I were them. Maybe wiping the slate clean without the hate speech towards others isn’t a bad idea at this point.&#8221;

Carano added, &#8220;I know trans people wouldn’t condone this harassment when they hear about the CHiLDREN, women &amp; men who have contacted me, thanking me for taking a stand against these bullies because it effected their mental health to the point of near suicide at times.

&#8220;Girl we aren’t buying it,&#8221; one Twitter user wrote. &#8220;The fact that you even THOUGHT it was a good idea, after outright refusing to add your pronouns to your profile…. seems like mockery to me.&#8221;
&#8220;Replace Gina Carano with a trans woman on The Mandalorian,&#8221; one user posted.
Another wrote, &#8220;Gina Carano is ignorant af and I hope she gets fired from Mando.&#8221;
&#8220;The Gina Carano is trash saga continues,&#8221; read another tweet. &#8220;I seriously hope disney fires her from the mandalorian and replaces her with a new trans character.

&#8220;Beep/bop/boop has zero to do with mocking trans people &amp; [100%] to do with exposing the bullying mentality of the mob that has taken over the voices of many genuine causes,&#8221; Carano argued. &#8220;I want people to know you can take hate with a smile.&#8221;

Actor Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid in the &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; film series, has come to the defense of author J.K. Rowling amid the backlash against her criticisms of transgender ideology.
Speaking with <a href="http://www.radiotimes.com/search/news/?q=rowling" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Radio Times</a>, Coltrane said that he could not understand why people were so outraged by Rowling&#8217;s comments about sex and gender being real while knocking the &#8220;Twitter generation.&#8221;
“I don’t think what she said was offensive really. I don’t know why but there’s a whole Twitter generation of people who hang around waiting to be offended,&#8221; he said, as reported by <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/robbie-coltrane-jk-rowling-093058414.html">Yahoo U.K</a>. “They wouldn’t have won the war, would they? That’s me talking like a grumpy old man, but you just think, ‘Oh, get over yourself. Wise up, stand up straight and carry on.’”
“I don’t want to get involved in all of that because of all the hate mail and all that s***, which I don’t need at my time of life,&#8221; he added.
As of this writing, Coltrane is the only cast member of the &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; series to defend J.K. Rowling.
Earlier in the summer, J.K. Rowling said that transgender ideology could lead to the erasure of womanhood as we know it by denying the basic biological functions that differentiate women from men. “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,” she tweeted.
Following her post, Rowling faced severe social media backlash, prompting “Harry Potter” stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and “Fantastic Beasts” star Eddie Redmayne to publicly declare their support for the trans movement. As criticism mounted, Rowling penned an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rowling-pens-essay-defending-herself-against-trans-blowback-i-refuse-to-bow-down">essay</a> about her experiences as a survivor of both sexual assault and domestic violence and argued that the concept of men becoming women erases womanhood entirely.
“It isn’t enough for women to be trans allies,” she wrote. “Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves. But, as many women have said before me, ‘woman’ is not a costume. ‘Woman’ is not an idea in a man’s head. ‘Woman’ is not a pink brain, a liking for Jimmy Choos, or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive.”
On Monday the hashtag #RIPJKRowling began trending on Twitter in response to the news that her new book will center on a cross-dressing serial killer.
&#8220;According to the first review of the new mystery novel, the story&#8217;s antagonist is a male serial killer who wears dresses as he hunts and dupes his victims, who are women,&#8221; reported <a href="https://www.insider.com/jk-rowlings-book-features-a-cross-dressing-male-serial-killer-2020-9#:~:text=JK%20Rowling's%20new%20book%20features%20a%20male%20serial%20killer%20that,a%20man%20in%20a%20dress.%22">Insider</a>. &#8220;<a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/troubled-blood-robert-galbraith-review-jk-rowling-fails-strike/" data-analytics-module="body_link" data-analytics-post-depth="40">Jake Kerridge of The Telegraph wrote</a> the novel&#8217;s &#8216;moral seems to be: never trust a man in a dress.'&#8221;

Former &#8220;Sex and the City&#8221; actress Cynthia Nixon has claimed that J.K. Rowling inflicted pain on her transgender son when the author expressly denounced aspects of transgender ideology.
Speaking with <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/features/cynthia-nixon-interview-ratched-netflix-sex-and-city-jk-rowling-harry-potter-mayor-b419651.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Independent</a>, Nixon said that her transgender son Samuel felt deep pain after hearing Rowling’s comments due to the influence that the &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; series had on them.
“It was really painful for him because so much of his childhood was tied up with Harry Potter. We’re a Harry Potter family,&#8221; Nixon said. &#8220;The books seem to be about championing people who are different, so for her to select this one group of people who are obviously different and sort of deny their existence, it’s just… it’s really baffling.&#8221;
&#8220;I know she feels like she’s standing up for feminism, but I don’t get it,&#8221; she added.
Earlier in the summer, J.K. Rowling said that transgender ideology could lead to the erasure of womanhood as we know it by denying the basic biological functions that differentiate women from men. “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth,&#8221; she tweeted.
Cynthia Nixon will be starring in the upcoming Netflix show &#8220;Ratched,&#8221; a prequel to the 1975 Oscar winner &#8220;One Flew Over the Cuckoo&#8217;s Nest.&#8221; In the show, Nixon will be playing a closet lesbian who, at one point, gives a lobotomy to an open lesbian as a form of &#8220;conversion therapy.&#8221;
“It’s this issue of, what do we do about the parts of ourselves that don’t function?” said Nixon of the moment. “Do we try to eradicate them, or do we bring them out into the light of day and look at them and try in a compassionate way? So, from a queer perspective, we’ve been told for ever that we are sick and perverted and that we must just suppress these feelings. But actually something else is true. These are important and beautiful parts of us.”
Reflecting on the legacy of &#8220;Sex and the City,&#8221; Nixon said that the show broke barriers by showing people that women are actually interested in sex.
&#8220;It showed people that women are actually deeply interested in sex and they don’t see it as just a way to entrap men and get a ring on their finger. That was a big revelation,” Nixon said. “Obviously things are of their time. Some of the gay characterisation was broad and all that, but I think that in terms of having gay representation on the show, I think we did pretty well with that. The thing that we really fell down on, and I was very aware of it at the time&#8230; It was always a problem how little racial diversity there was.”

So, it seems that the far-left wants to erase the word &#8220;woman&#8221; out of the English lexicon for its exclusion of non-cisgendered people.
According to TedXLondon, the new, inclusive word that should be used in place of &#8220;woman&#8221; or &#8220;women&#8221; is &#8220;womxn.&#8221; In a tweet last Friday, the organization announced that &#8220;TedXLondonWomxn&#8221; will be coming back virtually. When people speculated if the &#8220;x&#8221; in place of the &#8220;e&#8221; was a typo, TedXLondon followed up to clarify that it was intentional.
&#8220;HELLO YOU! TEDxLondonWomxn is coming back (virtually)! And we&#8217;d love you to share your ideas to help us to build our programme of events for this Autumn&#8230;&#8221; it tweeted.
&#8220;Why we&#8217;re using &#8216;womxn&#8217; No, that&#8217;s not a typo: &#8216;womxn&#8217; is a spelling of &#8216;women&#8217; that&#8217;s more inclusive and progressive. The term sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, and explicitly includes non-cisgender women,&#8221; it later added.

People on Twitter were not buying it, including those who identified as being &#8220;non-cisgender.&#8221;
&#8220;I will continue to spell it WOMEN &amp; I’m not a non-cisgender woman. Just a woman. The day you can change chromosomes inside our DNA, I’ll junk about it. As for the late arrival in womanhood of the opposite gender: Welcome! If they feel women they need to accept the spelling,&#8221; one user responded.
&#8220;I’ve never faced any prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers for being a woman. I got bad grades at school for being a terrible speller though, so I should complain about that now words can’t be spelt however you want,&#8221; another user responded.
&#8220;Imagine insisting that it&#8217;s somehow inclusive to make up with an entirely separate word for a group of people that has fought for decades to simply be recognized and treated with the same respect and dignity as the gender they&#8217;re transitioning into. Unbelievable tone-deafness,&#8221; responded another.
The phrase &#8220;womxn&#8221; has been floated in leftist circles for several years now. According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/14/style/womxn.html">The New York Times</a>, it was first proposed in 2016 when Women&#8217;s March Seattle was discussing how to address their &#8220;superdiverse&#8221; group.
“Our organizing group is superdiverse, and one of the core organizers, who is a nonbinary person, proposed that we use the word ‘womxn’ to make sure that everyone felt included,” said Elizabeth Hunter-Keller, the communications chair for what was later called Womxn’s March Seattle. “There were a lot of, for the most part, white women, who wondered why we had to use the ‘x’ and asked us about it. But when we talked to them online, most were totally understanding.”
Anti-transgender ideology proponents have long warned that the movement could lead to the erasure of womanhood as we know it by denying the basic biological functions that differentiate women from men. &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K. Rowling said as much in early June of this year when she tweeted, &#8220;If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”

As part of her refusal to back down on her stance against aspects of transgender ideology, author J.K. Rowling humbly returned her 2019 Ripple of Hope Award to the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organization after its president called her a transphobe.
In a memo posted on the <a href="http://rfkhumanrights.org/news/a-statement-from-kerry-kennedy-president-of-robert-f-kennedy-human-rights">organization’s website</a> in early August, Kerry Kennedy, the president, strongly criticized Rowling’s &#8220;troubling transphobic tweets&#8221; from earlier this summer, alleging that she used her gifts as a writer to demean transgender people.
&#8220;Over the course of June 2020 &#8212; LGBTQ Pride Month &#8212; and much to my dismay, J.K. Rowling posted deeply troubling transphobic tweets and statements,” Kennedy said. &#8220;On June 6, she tweeted an article headlined &#8216;Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.&#8217; She wrote glibly and dismissively about transgender identity: ‘People who menstruate.’ ‘I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?’”
Kennedy emphasized that she herself “categorically” rejects the concept that people’s birth sex is “the primary and determinative factor of one’s gender.”
&#8220;From her own words, I take Rowling’s position to be that the sex one is assigned at birth is the primary and determinative factor of one’s gender, regardless of one’s gender identity — a position that I categorically reject. The science is clear and conclusive: Sex is not binary,&#8221; she concluded.
Kennedy seems to have been referring, in part, to Rowling&#8217;s Twitter post from June in which the author essentially argued that the idea that biological sex “isn’t real” serves to erase the “lived reality of women.”
“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction,” Rowling tweeted. “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”
“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women &#8212; ie, to male violence &#8212; ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences &#8212; is a nonsense,” she continued.
In response, Rowling <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rowling-pens-essay-defending-herself-against-trans-blowback-i-refuse-to-bow-down">penned a heartfelt essay</a> about her experiences as a woman, arguing that the orthodoxy of the radical transgender movement is eroding womanhood.
“It isn’t enough for women to be trans allies,” she wrote. “Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves. But, as many women have said before me, ‘woman’ is not a costume. ‘Woman’ is not an idea in a man’s head. ‘Woman’ is not a pink brain, a liking for Jimmy Choos or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive.”
After Kennedy&#8217;s sharp rebuke dismissing her as an unapologetic bigot, Rowling posted on her <a href="https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/statement-from-j-k-rowling-regarding-the-robert-f-kennedy-human-rights-ripple-of-hope-award/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">own website</a> that she rejects all condemnations of her as a transphobe and vowed to give the Ripple of Hope award back to the organization.
&#8220;In solidarity with those who have contacted me but who are struggling to make their voices heard, and because of the very serious conflict of views between myself and RFKHR, I feel I have no option but to return the Ripple of Hope Award bestowed upon me last year,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I am deeply saddened that RFKHR has felt compelled to adopt this stance, but no award or honour, no matter my admiration for the person for whom it was named, means so much to me that I would forfeit the right to follow the dictates of my own conscience.&#8221;

A California GOP congressman has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would prohibit gender reassignment medical interventions on minors. Rep. Doug LaMalfa’s bill, HR 8012, was <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/8012/all-info">introduced</a> on August 11. His <a href="https://lamalfa.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/lamalfa-introduces-legislation-to-protect-children-and-taxpayers-from">website</a> states:
<blockquote>The Protecting Children from Experimentation Act would prohibit doctors from performing experimental gender reassignment treatments on children. Puberty-blocking hormones followed by cross-sex hormones can cause irreversible damage to children’s bodies, including an increased risk of cancer and permanent sterilization.</blockquote>
LaMalfa stated:
<blockquote>Our society has quickly “normalized” gender experimentation under the guise of an “accepting” political ideology rather than biological reality. Even more troubling, children are undergoing experimental treatments, like being injected with puberty-blocking hormones and cross-sex hormones, which have irreversible consequences, such as permanent sterility. Both the Protecting Children from Experimentation Act and the End Taxpayer Funding of Gender Experimentation Act aim to protect children and taxpayers from paying the high price of these unethical medical interventions. As minors, children cannot vote, join the military, or open a bank account; it’s our job as society, and especially parents, to protect them from making life altering gender experimentation decisions that they may likely later regret.</blockquote>
&#8220;Children are precious and our future, and they are worth defending. No child should be forced to undergo medically unnecessary, life-altering procedures in the name of progressive gender ideology. No taxpayer should be forced to pay for these harmful &#8216;reassignment&#8217; procedures for any individual. I applaud Rep. LaMalfa for taking action to protect our children,” said Jessica Anderson, Executive Director of Heritage Action for America.
“The BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51676020">reported</a> back in March on a lawsuit against the United Kingdom’s leading gender identity clinic, with a detransitioned female patient stating that she was rushed into irreversible hormonal interventions that she later <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/01/02/transgender-clinics-are-ruining-young-lives/">came to regret</a>,” <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/08/24/bill-would-ban-gender-reassignment-procedures-on-minors/">The Daily Signal</a> noted, while referencing a statement from Ryan T. Anderson and Robert P. George at <a href="https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2019/12/58839/">The Public Discourse</a>:
<blockquote>Whatever one may think about the ethics of medical professionals’ ‘transitioning’ adults, everyone should be able to agree that adults should not interfere with the natural, healthy development of the bodies and minds of children.
Children must be provided with the time and space to develop to maturity. To tell a child that he or she is of the opposite sex (or both, or neither—something underwritten today by standard children’s ‘gender’ books), or to encourage a child’s mistaken belief that he is something other than a boy, or she something other than a girl (however sensitively one may, and should, be handling such a situation), is deeply unjust to that child.
To intervene in a child’s physical development, to block the child from going through normal puberty—all in an attempt to ‘affirm’ a ‘gender identity’ that rejects bodily reality—is profoundly unethical.
</blockquote>
“Administering estrogen to boys or testosterone to girls eventually results in permanent sterility—a consequence that children are in no way equipped to consent to or even fully grasp the implications of,” The Daily Signal stated, adding, “The authors of the largest study to date on the mental health outcomes of individuals who have undergone sex-reassignment surgery or hormonal transition were forced to admit that the data <a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/08/03/transitioning-procedures-dont-help-mental-health-largest-dataset-shows/">showed</a> no decrease in mood or anxiety disorders for those who transitioned medically.”

On Monday, a judge appointed to Idaho’s federal bench by President Trump <a href="https://interactive.ktvb.com/pdfs/transgenderathletelaworder.pdf">issued an injunction</a> to block the state’s “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” which had blocked men claiming they are women from competing in women’s student athletics. On March 30, 2020, Idaho Governor Bradley Little had signed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act into law.
Judge David C. Nye wrote:
<blockquote>The primary question before the Court—whether the Court should enjoin the State of Idaho from enforcing a newly enacted law which precludes transgender female athletes from participating on women’s sports—involves complex issues relating to the rights of student athletes, physiological differences between the sexes, an individual’s ability to challenge the gender of other student athletes, female athlete’s rights to medical privacy and to be free from potentially invasive sex identification procedures, and the rights of all students to have complete access to educational opportunities, programs, and activities available at school …
Despite the national focus on the issue, Idaho is the first and only state to categorically bar the participation of transgender women in women’s student athletics. This categorical bar to girls and women who are transgender stands in stark contrast to the policies of elite athletic bodies that regulate sports both nationally and globally—including the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) and the International Olympic Committee (“IOC”)—which allow transgender women to participate on female sports teams once certain specific criteria are met.</blockquote>
“Nye said that plaintiffs, who include track and field <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/17/trump-backed-transgender-athlete-ban-paused-in-idaho-397495">athletes at Boise State University</a>, ‘are likely to succeed in establishing the Act is unconstitutional as currently written’ because, in his estimation, it likely violates the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the 14th Amendment,” Daniel Horowitz of Conservative Review <a href="https://www.conservativereview.com/news/horowitz-trump-appointed-judge-idaho-cant-block-men-competing-womens-sports/">noted</a>.
Horowitz added:
<blockquote>Nye claimed that Idaho’s ban is “in stark contrast to the policies of elite athletic bodies that regulate sports both nationally and globally” and that separating sexes by scientific designation “burdens all female athletes with the risk and embarrassment of having to ‘verify’ their ‘biological sex’ in order to play women’s sports.”ia</blockquote>
Horowitz referenced Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion in Bostock v Clayton County, Ga, saying that the“Idaho judge cited Gorsuch’s Bostock decision as part of his rationale for believing transgenderism is enshrined in the 14th Amendment.”
Nye cited the fact that the state had passed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic was evidence that the legislation was trying to ban transgender athletes rather than an effort to protect women’s sports, writing:
<blockquote>In addition, it is difficult to ignore the circumstances under which the Act was passed. As COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and many states adjourned state legislative session indefinitely, the Idaho Legislature stayed in session to pass H.B. 500 and become the first and only state to bar all women and girls who are transgender from participating in school sports. At the same time, the Legislature also passed another bill, H.B. 509, which essentially bans transgender individuals from changing their gender marker on their birth certificates to match their gender identity. Governor Little signed H.B. 500 and H.B. 509 into law on the same day. That the Idaho government stayed in session amidst an unprecedented national shut down to pass two laws which dramatically limit the rights of transgender individuals suggests the Act was motivated by a desire for transgender exclusion, rather than equality for women athletes, particularly when the national shutdown preempted school athletic events, making the rush to the pass the law unnecessary.</blockquote>
Nye wrote, “The State has not identified a legitimate interest served by the Act that the preexisting rules in Idaho did not already address, other than an invalid interest of excluding transgender women and girls from women’s sports entirely, regardless of their physiological characteristics.”

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/08/GettyImages-1221107838.jpg

Last week, Judge Mary Brown, appointed to the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-judge-rules-dad-has-say-in-gender-transition-of-7-year-old-james-younger-puts-gag-order-on-dad">Save James</a>&#8221; Texas case in January, reportedly scrapped a past ruling that allowed Jeff Younger joint conservatorship over his 8-year-old son James Younger, whom Jeff&#8217;s ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, claims is a transgender girl named &#8220;Luna.&#8221;
Now, Anne can reportedly enroll James as &#8220;Luna&#8221; in school without the father&#8217;s consent, and Mr. Younger will have to pay $5,000 a month for the child&#8217;s pro-trans counseling, as well as a $10,000 retainer required by the counselor, a Facebook post from &#8220;Save James&#8221; claims.
According to court documents, Jeff wanted his two sons homeschooled.
Jeff was awarded joint conservatorship last year, meaning he&#8217;d have to consent to parenting choices concerning James before his ex-wife moves forward, and vice versa. The father <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-james-younger-at-age-3-to-dad-mommy-tells-me-im-a-girl">claims</a> Georgulas has been telling his biological son that he is a girl since he was 3 years old, and that James wants to be a boy when he is with his father. Georgulas claims James identifies as a girl on his own and is apparently transgender.
The &#8220;Save James&#8221; account is run by a supporter of Mr. Younger and a journalist in contact with the father. Jeff was hit with a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-father-of-7-year-old-trans-child-james-younger-speaks-out-before-gag-order/">gag order</a> from Judge Kim Cooks in October 2019.
Captioning a photo of Jeff hugging his boys James and Jude, a Facebook post from &#8220;Save James&#8221; said in part on Tuesday, &#8220;James and Jude did NOT have a victory in court today. Judge Mary Brown has condemned James and Jude to a life of therapy, confusion, and abuse without even having a hearing. There are no other words for what has happened today.&#8221;
Judge Brown, the post continues, &#8220;has forced James to live as &#8216;Luna&#8217; in a school surrounded by teachers and therapists who do not acknowledge that he has said multiple times to multiple people (without Jeff around) that he wants to be a boy and hates being forced to be a girl. She has forced Jude into a stressful existence of constant lies and misery as he watches his brother get destroyed before him without any hope for an end to this madness.&#8221;
&#8220;Anne won this battle without even a hearing,&#8221; the post says. There was a scheduled hearing set on August 11, but the judge canceled it. 
<blockquote>Judge Mary Brown, without even having a hearing, has wiped out thousands of dollars for Jeff. He had a Writ of Mandamus in place to appeal her order that forced him into therapy. That Writ of Mandamus cost him well above 15k. It is now gone. Jeff needs help with donations. Consulting lawyers, drafting responses, attending hearings easily wracks his cost into the thousands. By now, Jeff has spent enough money to put James and Jude through medical and law school. This is insane.</blockquote>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
The post noted that a &#8220;special evidentiary hearing is scheduled for September,&#8221; though the exact date and time remains unknown.
&#8220;There is the sneaking suspicion that this hearing will be used to solidify Anne’s dominance over Jeff,&#8221; according to &#8220;Save James.&#8221;

Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf accused Trump campaign adviser Jenna Ellis of hate speech on Monday after she called his transgender health secretary a &#8220;guy.&#8221;
Ellis, a personal attorney to President Donald Trump and a senior legal adviser to his 2020 campaign, tweeted, &#8220;This guy is making decisions about your health,&#8221; in reference to PA Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine. Her tweet referred to a May <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/05/reporter-calls-pa-health-secretary-sir-multiple-times-in-phone-interview.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">story</a> in which Levine corrects a reporter for repeatedly using the word &#8220;sir.&#8221;

In a statement to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/511322-trump-campaign-adviser-sparks-criticism-for-misgendering-pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Hill</a>, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Health said, “Dr. Levine is laser-focused on assisting Pennsylvanians in the midst of a national pandemic. She does not have time for this nonsense.”
Accusing Ellis of bigotry, Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David also attacked the Trump administration. &#8220;Jenna Ellis is a bigot and Dr. Levine is a patriot — plain and simple,&#8221; he told The Hill. &#8220;Dr. Levine illustrates character and patriotism while Ellis cannot even define those terms. Using a person’s pronouns is a basic level of respect. Despite claims of allyship, Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and their staff have gone out of their way to dehumanize and attack transgender and non-binary people simply for existing.&#8221;
Ellis was unapologetic in the face of such accusations, releasing a <a href="https://twitter.com/JennaEllisEsq/status/1292993666970038272" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">statement</a> on Twitter that said neither The Washington Post nor Newsweek were willing to publish in full &#8220;in their coverage of the fauxrage.&#8221; Ellis wrote:
<blockquote>To be called a bigot for simply acknowledging scientific fact is both hilarious and tragic. The truth of biology shows that human beings are created immutably male and female. Yet in our post-truth society, the progressive leftists not only demand that we affirm patently false facts, but also demand we not &#8216;offend&#8217; people who insist on speaking their lies, otherwise we are called insensitive bigots and required to apologize. I won&#8217;t apologize. Our Constitution still protects our fundamental, God-given right to speak and affirm Truth and I&#8217;ll continue to stand firm speaking and affirming Truth.</blockquote>
Pennsylvania officials have taken to Twitter before to scold people who do not acknowledge Levine as a woman. When a fair in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hate-has-no-place-in-pennsylvania-county-fair-takes-flak-for-transphobic-dunk-tank-mocking-pa-health-secretary" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">featured a dunk tank</a> with a man in a dress last month, the Bloomsburg Fair&#8217;s Facebook page joked that it was Levine. The joke drew swift condemnation from Wolf, as well as from Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), who said, &#8220;Hate and bigotry have no place in our society.&#8221;
Wolf took flak when he <a href="https://www.pennlive.com/coronavirus/2020/06/why-did-pa-gov-tom-wolf-join-a-protest-with-thousands-of-people-breaking-the-rules-in-a-yellow-phase-county.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">violated his own state’s coronavirus lockdown restrictions</a> on June 3 to march in solidarity with hundreds of protesters in Harrisburg following the death of George Floyd. In Harrisburg’s Dauphin County, gatherings were restricted to 25 people or less at the time, according to Pennsylvania’s <a href="https://www.governor.pa.gov/process-to-reopen-pennsylvania/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">color-coded reopening plan</a>.
When pressed on his apparent rule-breaking, Levine said, “The governor has always said that people have the right to protest and to demonstrate, and the right to free speech, and so overall, we want large gatherings such as maybe a party or some type of concert or something, to be under 250 people.”
“But, we are not restricting people’s right to protest,” Levine added. “There are all obviously significant social issues that are present, that people feel that they need to have a voice, and so the governor is always supportive of that and is participating.”

PA Health Sec. won’t allow the state to reopen or people to gather &#8211; and the Gov. who said businesses that disobey are cowards as he marches in protests himself &#8211; actually tries to legitimize limitless protests in the street while standing by restrictions. <a href="https://t.co/4jKwJGBtpG">pic.twitter.com/4jKwJGBtpG</a>

In an Aug. 6 Twitter thread that spanned 20 tweets, Netflix offered an extensive analysis explaining why the 1999 hit film &#8220;The Matrix&#8221; is an allegory for the transgender experience.
&#8220;For years, fans of THE MATRIX have discussed the film through a trans lens,&#8221; the thread began. &#8220;If you’ve heard the theory before or just learned about it, here’s a thread breaking down the trans allegory of the film, from trans writers and critics. Welcome to the desert of the real.&#8221;
&#8220;The Matrix&#8221; trilogy was directed by then-brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski, who have since transitioned and go by the names Lana and Lilly, respectively. Linking to a video they did with Lilly about the &#8220;trans narrative&#8221; of the movie, Netflix wrote, &#8220;Lilly Wachowski recently looked back on the film and confirmed the long-discussed theory of THE MATRIX as an allegory for gender transition. &#8216;THE MATRIX was all about the desire for transformation, but it was all coming from a closeted point of view.'&#8221;

Citing various scholars, writers, and critics, the thread goes on to offer an in-depth explanation for why &#8220;The Matrix&#8221; is &#8220;super trans.&#8221; Among the revelations are that The Matrix itself is analogous to the gender binary, Keanu Reeves&#8217; character Neo is experiencing gender dysphoria, the agents symbolize transphobia, the famous &#8220;red pill&#8221; is actually a metaphor for hormone replacement drugs, and the iconic &#8220;bullet time&#8221; sequence is &#8220;an effect resonant with the experience of gender transition and its multiple embodiments across time.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Interesting, isn’t it, how Agent Smith only refers to Neo as his deadname, Mr. Anderson, with a persistent emphasis on the “mister,” which Eleanor Lockhart, a professor at Rowan University, wrote about back in 2016. <a href="https://t.co/aQugibOzbu">https://t.co/aQugibOzbu</a> <a href="https://t.co/PYBysiOyqQ">pic.twitter.com/PYBysiOyqQ</a>

Anticipating those who might claim that Lilly Wachowski is simply making up the trans interpretation of the film after the fact, Netflix advised, &#8220;Some have rushed to call Lilly&#8217;s recent acknowledgment of the trans themes in THE MATRIX &#8216;revisionist&#8217; or &#8216;retconning.&#8217; And to that I say, who are you to tell not only a creator, but also a trans person, what was or wasn’t present in their minds while making their own film?&#8221;
&#8220;While the Wachowski sisters coming out post-MATRIX may have prompted fans to revisit their filmography through a trans lens, they were always trans women and THE MATRIX is and always will be a film by two trans filmmakers,&#8221; they added.

The authors of a landmark 2019 study on the effects of transgender surgery on patients’ mental and emotional health walked back their much-cited conclusion over the weekend, stating nearly a year after publication that their initial claim that their data demonstrated that transgender surgeries resulted in improved mental health was &#8220;too strong&#8221; and not supported by the data.
Richard Bränström, an associate professor at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, and John Pachankis, an associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health, published their original study in <a href="https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.2019.19010080">The American Journal of Psychiatry</a> in October 2019.
The public health experts analyzed the records of roughly 9.7 million Swedes in the Swedish Total Population Register. According to the index, 2,679 Swedes were diagnosed between 2005 and 2015 with “gender incongruence,” meaning their biological gender does not match the gender with which they identify. Of the diagnosed, 1,018 received sex reassignment surgery.
According to the authors, the data suggests that, based on therapy records for the year 2015, the odds that someone with gender incongruence suffers from mood and anxiety disorders decreases by 8% each successive year after receiving surgery. The authors initially concluded that their research “supports policies that provide gender-affirming surgeries.”
The authors walked back that claim on Saturday, posting a <a href="https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.2020.1778correction">correction</a> to their research in which they state that their data &#8220;demonstrated no advantage of surgery in relation to subsequent mood or anxiety disorder-related health care visits or prescriptions or hospitalizations following suicide attempts.&#8221; Their original conclusion, they write, was &#8220;too strong&#8221;:
<blockquote>Upon request, the authors reanalyzed the data to compare outcomes between individuals diagnosed with gender incongruence who had received gender-affirming surgical treatments and those diagnosed with gender incongruence who had not. While this comparison was performed retrospectively and was not part of the original research question given that several other factors may differ between the groups, the results demonstrated no advantage of surgery in relation to subsequent mood or anxiety disorder-related health care visits or prescriptions or hospitalizations following suicide attempts in that comparison. Given that the study used neither a prospective cohort design nor a randomized controlled trial design, the conclusion that “the longitudinal association between gender-affirming surgery and lower use of mental health treatment lends support to the decision to provide gender-affirming surgeries to transgender individuals who seek them” is too strong.</blockquote>
The authors also note in the correction that &#8220;individuals diagnosed with gender incongruence who had received gender-affirming surgery were more likely to be treated for anxiety disorders compared with individuals diagnosed with gender incongruence who had not received gender-affirming surgery.&#8221;
Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Ryan Anderson pointed out the correction in a piece for <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/08/03/transitioning-procedures-dont-help-mental-health-largest-dataset-shows/">The Daily Signal</a>.
“Gender dysphoria is a serious condition. People who experience a gender identity conflict should be treated with respect and compassion. And they deserve to know the truth,” Anderson writes. “Now the world’s largest relevant dataset reveals hormones and surgeries don’t bring wholeness and happiness. We need to find better, more humane, and effective responses to those who experience dysphoria.”
At the time the study was first published, Bränström and Pachankis’ now-retracted conclusion was promoted <a href="https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/10/15/trans-people-gender-reassignment-mental-health-yale-university-study/">across a</a> <a href="https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/10/transgender-surgery-leads-better-mental-health-study-finds/">variety of</a> <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-transgender-gender-affirming-surgery-mental-health-study-20191004-bxvqkg4gj5budinawa3bogp5oa-story.html">media</a> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/sex-reassignment-surgery-yields-long-term-mental-health-benefits-study-n1079911">outlets</a>.
“No longer can we say that we lack high-quality evidence of the benefits of providing gender-affirming surgeries to transgender individuals who seek them,” Pachankis said in an Oct. 3, 2019, <a href="https://publichealth.yale.edu/news-article/21447/">statement</a> announcing his research with Bränström.
Bränström and Pachankis eventually corrected their research after several others wrote to The American Journal of Psychiatry questioning the pair’s conclusions. One weakness of the study, <a href="https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2019/11/58371/">pointed out</a> by University of Texas sociologist Mark Regnerus, was that the 8% annual decrease in the odds of mental illness was largely based on a sample size of just 19 people whose last gender reassignment surgery took place in 2005.
&#8220;By contrast, 574 (out of 1,018 total) reported their last surgery as having been conducted less than two years ago,&#8221; Regnerus said (about 42% of those 574 sought therapy in 2015). &#8220;This means that the apparently helpful overall effect of surgery is driven by this comparatively steep drop in mood/anxiety treatment among only 19 patients.&#8221;

The American Cancer Society has issued its latest guidance for the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer, and instead of using the term “women” to refer to its intended audience, begins its guidance by referring to “individuals with a cervix.”
Oddly enough, the <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cervical-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/cervical-cancer-screening-guidelines.html">paragraph begins</a> by referring to “individuals with a cervix” but later in the paragraph refers to “women,” as follows:
<blockquote>The American Cancer Society recommends that individuals with a cervix follow these guidelines to help find cervical cancer early. Following these guidelines can also find pre-cancers, which can be treated to keep cervical cancer from starting. These guidelines do not apply to people who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer or cervical pre-cancer. These women should have follow-up testing and cervical cancer screening as recommended by their health care team.</blockquote>
The new guidelines recommend cervical cancer screening to start at age 25, instead of 21 as heretofore, but move HPV testing to start at 25 instead of 30, as <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8580469/CNN-mocked-tweeting-American-Cancer-Society-advice-individuals-cervix.html">the Daily Mail</a> noted.
Last month &#8220;Harry Potter&#8221; author J.K. Rowling last month triggered criticism when she mocked the global development website Devex for its report about “people who menstruate,” writing, &#8220;People who menstruate.&#8221; I&#8217;m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” After blowback ensued, she fired back, “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”
Alexandra DeSanctis explained the various possibilities of the phrase “individuals with a cervix” in <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-progressive-patriarchy-advances/">National Review</a>:
<blockquote>For those who aren’t up to date on the latest intersectional lingo, “individuals with a cervix” is one of the approved progressive ways to refer to biological women, as it supposedly takes into account transgender and “non-binary” individuals. So, for instance, a biological woman who identifies as a man might still be an “individual with a cervix,” and using this phrase includes such a person, while the word “woman” would not.
Likewise, “individuals with a cervix” might, from the perspective of radical gender theory, be taken to include biological men who identify as women and who, despite not having a cervix, need to be included in the category of what we’d typically consider “women” and yet might be excluded by the use of the word “women.”</blockquote>
She concluded, “We are now being told — by the very same ideologues insisting that conservatives are sexist misogynists who are evil for recognizing the immutable realities of biology — that we can no longer use the word “woman,” because to do so might contradict the notion that biological men can be women, and vice versa. They are, in short, erasing the concept of womanhood for the sake of ratifying the fiction that being a man or a woman means nothing at all.”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who famously named his baby X Æ A-Xii, drew ire from his partner Grimes on Friday when he tweeted a not-so-LGBT friendly statement.
&#8220;Pronouns suck,&#8221; Musk tweeted with no follow-up or clarification. Shortly thereafter, Musk&#8217;s partner publicly scolded him for being hateful.
&#8220;I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall [sic]. I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn&#8217;t your heart,&#8221; she tweeted in reply.
Keeping it real, Musk then followed up by saying, &#8220;Twitter sucks.&#8221;
Grimes, birth name Claire Boucher, deleted her tweet. Musk&#8217;s anti-pronoun tweet still remains as of this writing.

Though Musk said nothing regarding transgenderism, leftist trolls immediately lectured him against transphobia.
&#8220;Transgender rights are important in a free and equal society that cares about everyone—from the very rich like you to the most vulnerable like them. This shouldn’t be in dispute. But cancel culture does suck, which is why we should educate people not futilely try to destroy them,&#8221; tweeted Dr. Eugene Gu.

&#8220;Pretty disgusting to see from you. What&#8217;s so hard about calling someone a pronoun? It literally does absolutely nothing to you to call them it and it&#8217;s what they like to be referred as so why not just do it? I genuinely don&#8217;t understand why you people don&#8217;t like them,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Its_Revan/status/1286874647443714050?s=20">tweeted</a> another user.
Musk&#8217;s inexplicable strike against pronouns comes just two months after he rocked the halls of the Twitterverse <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-cancel-cancel-culture">when he said</a> &#8220;take the red pill&#8221; and &#8220;cancel cancel culture&#8221; with no further clarification.
Though it’s doubtful that Musk will ever be a friend to conservatives, it is fair to note that he has always marched to his own drumbeat and has never conformed to lockstep Silicon Valley leftism.
For instance, as billionaires like Bill Gates and others were actively pushing population control measures to help with climate change, typically in poor African countries, Musk went against the grain and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-reiterates-global-population-is-headed-for-collapse-2019-6">said the world actually needs more people</a> on the planet, not less.
“The world’s population is accelerating towards collapse, but few seem to notice or care,” he tweeted in 2017 in response to a New Scientist article about a “population bomb” going off in 2076.
“Real issue will [be] an aging &amp; declining world population by 2050, *not* overpopulation,” <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1141977875567919104?s=20">he tweeted</a> in 2019. “Demographics, stratified by age, will look like an upside down pyramid with many old people &amp; fewer young.”
Prior to his infamous “red pill” tweet, Musk had been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-pushes-reopening-in-series-of-tweets-free-america-now">urging governors </a> to reopen the economy and even went as far to call the lockdown orders “fascist.&#8221; On Friday, Musk also tweeted that he opposes another round of economic stimulus while expressing his support for Universal Basic Income (UBI).
&#8220;As a reminder, I’m in *favor* of universal basic income,&#8221; <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/elon-musk-another-government-stimulus-package-is-not-in-the-best-interests-of-the-people-2020-07-24">he tweeted</a>. &#8220;Goal of government should be to maximize the happiness of the people. Giving each person money allows them to decide what meets their needs, rather than the blunt tool of legislation, which creates self-serving special interests.&#8221;
&#8220;Another government stimulus package is not in the best interests of the people imo,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;These are jammed to gills with special interests earmarks. If we do a stimulus at all, it should just be direct payments to consumers.&#8221;

Elon Musk’s Partner Grimes Publicly Scolds Him After He Tweets ‘Pronouns Suck’

Elon Musk

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who famously named his baby X Æ A-Xii, drew ire from his partner Grimes on Friday when he tweeted a not-so-LGBT friendly statement.

A Pennsylvania state fair faced condemnation from state leaders after featuring a dunk tank with a man dressed as a woman in an apparent jab at PA Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, who is transgender.
Bloomsburg, a town along the Susquehanna River about 40 miles southwest of Wilkes-Barre, holds one of Pennsylvania&#8217;s largest state fairs every year. In a carnival held on the fairgrounds last weekend, the local fire department raised money with a dunk tank featuring their fire chief decked out in a flowery dress, as reported by <a href="https://apnews.com/0f2961360d5679c16e9a2135b6a51714" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Associated Press</a>.
In a since-deleted Facebook post, the Bloomsburg Fair Association later wrote, &#8220;Dr. Levine? Thank you, you were a hit and raised a lot of money for the local fire companies. Wonder why so many were trying to dunk you,&#8221; to which was appended a smiley face emoji. &#8220;Thanks everyone that came out to support our local fire companies.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
The Pennsylvania Health Secretary, Dr. Rachel Levine, is a transgender woman. The Bloomsburg Fair in PA had a man dressed up as her in their dunk tank today. The fair has since deleted the post, but they have made no statement on using blatant transphobia to raise money. <a href="https://t.co/1VpJDPAlxG">pic.twitter.com/1VpJDPAlxG</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After the event began stoking backlash on social media, Fair President Randy Karschner denied that any resemblance to Levine was intentional, saying, &#8220;A fellow dressed up in a dress to get people to throw balls at the dunk tank to raise money. It turned into where people thought we were offending Dr. Rachel Levine, and that was no intention at all.&#8221;
The man in the dress, Main Township Fire Chief David Broadt, likewise maintained that there was no malicious intent behind his costume, telling a local newspaper that he was &#8220;going for a Marilyn Monroe look&#8221; until members of the crowd began calling him Levine and asking where his mask was.
&#8220;It was just in fun,&#8221; Broadt said. &#8220;It wasn’t done to disrespect her.&#8221;
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) condemned the dunk tank, tweeting Monday, &#8220;Dr. Levine is an honorable public servant whose tireless work to keep PA safe and healthy has saved countless lives. She is owed an apology. Hate and bigotry have no place in our society. The members of the Pennsylvania transgender community are our neighbors and friends. Treat them that way.&#8221;

Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf echoed Casey in a three-tweet thread on Wednesday, writing, &#8220;I want to talk about the transphobic incident involving the Bloomsburg Fair. This is the latest in a relentless series of vile slurs directed at Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine — a highly skilled and accomplished member of my administration.&#8221;
&#8220;Dr. Levine is a distinguished public servant,&#8221; Wolf continued. &#8220;She’s committed to keeping Pennsylvanians safe and healthy, even those who direct hate-fueled attacks at her. I’m proud of the work she has done in her five years serving Pennsylvanians, and especially during the COVID-19 crisis. Hate has no place in Pennsylvania. I’m calling on all Pennsylvanians: Speak out against hateful comments and acts, including transphobia, when you see them.&#8221;

Levine defended the governor&#8217;s apparent hypocrisy, saying, &#8220;The governor has always said that people have the right to protest, and to demonstrate, and the right to free speech, and so overall, we want large gatherings such as maybe a party or some type of concert or something, to be under 250 people.&#8221;
&#8220;But, we are not restricting people’s right to protest,&#8221; Levine added. &#8220;There are all obviously significant social issues that are present, that people feel that they need to have a voice, and so the governor is always supportive of that and is participating.&#8221;

A Catholic hospital in Maryland is facing a lawsuit from a transgender male that cites new Supreme Court precedent established last month when Trump-appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch sided with the liberal justices on the court.
As noted by <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/transgender-lawsuit-against-catholic-hospital-cites-new-us-supreme-court-precedent-29681">Catholic News Agency</a>, the suit claims discrimination after the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center, a Catholic-founded hospital now in the University of Maryland Medical System, refused to remove the uterus of 33-year-old Jesse Hammons of Baltimore, a physically healthy transgender individual.
The suit argues &#8220;that the hysterectomy would not have been canceled if it were for a diagnosis other than gender dysphoria,&#8221; the Catholic outlet reported. &#8220;Because the hospital performs hysterectomies for other diagnosed conditions, it treated Hammons unfairly. Hammons said the surgery would help eliminate the production of estrogen and drastically improve mental health.&#8221;
Cited in the suit is the landmark Supreme Court decision from last month concerning gender.
&#8220;In a landmark 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court decided Monday that Title VII, which protects workers from employment discrimination on the basis of gender, can be interpreted to include discrimination based on sexual orientation, extending the protections of federal employment law to LGBT individuals,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-supreme-court-rules-lgbt-individuals-protected-from-job-discrimination-under-title-vii">The Daily Wire&#8217;s Emily Zanotti</a> reported at the time.
&#8220;The ruling was unexpected,&#8221; Zanotti noted, &#8220;given the largely conservative makeup of the Supreme Court, and will likely give rise to further cases testing the limits of Title VII protections for LGBT workers, <a href="https://apnews.com/ef3c19a79b65c060fd9e82b9dd87a1d9?utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_campaign=SocialFlow">The Associated Press reports</a>.&#8221;
Justice Gorsuch sided with the liberal justices in the majority – Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Gorsuch was appointed by President Donald Trump to succeed the late Justice Antonin Scalia, and was picked from a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/12/01/donald-trump-supreme-court-21-nominees-list-nomination/93964888/">list</a> compiled during Trump&#8217;s 2016 presidential run designed to nudge hesitant conservatives to support the campaign.
“An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex,” Gorsuch wrote in his opinion. “Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids.”
Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, stating that “sex” does not include “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.”
“The Court tries to convince readers that it is merely enforcing the terms of the statute, but that is preposterous,” wrote Alito. “Even as understood today, the concept of discrimination because of ‘sex’ is different from discrimination because of ‘sexual orientation’ or ‘gender identity.’”
Trump-appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh dissented, as well.
Media relations director for the University of Maryland Medical System Michael Schwartzberg was not able to comment directly on the case, given federal privacy regulations, but noted that &#8220;any patient seeking care not available at the Catholic hospital can receive care at other hospitals in the system,&#8221; according to Catholic News Agency.
“The health and safety of our patients is, and always will be, our highest priority,” Schwartzberg said, adding that the hospital is built on “a mission of loving service and compassionate care.”

Gilded handprints belonging to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling installed outside of the Edinburgh City Chambers in 2008 were vandalized over the weekend, covered with &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8515515/JK-Rowlings-handprints-smeared-blood-like-red-paint-vandals-amid-transphobic-row.html">blood-like</a>&#8221; red paint and marked by a transgender flag in apparent protest of the famous author&#8217;s opposition to transgender ideology in defense of feminism.
Images of the vandalized handprints quickly made the rounds on social media. Take a look:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
No arrests have been made and the identities of the vandals remain unknown. According to <a href="https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/12/jk-rowlings-golden-handprints-edinburgh-vandalised-trans-pride-flag/">Pink News</a>, an anonymous Edinburgh local said that the red paint possibly symbolizes how Rowling has “blood on her hands” for not affirming men in their desires to be regarded as women.
The vandalism of the marker came shortly after Melissa Anelli, editor for The Leaky Cauldron, one of the largest Harry Potter fan sites, urged people to boycott all things J.K. Rowling.
&#8220;STOP GIVING HER MONEY: don&#8217;t buy new books, don&#8217;t buy official merch, don&#8217;t see the play, don&#8217;t rent or buy the movies, don&#8217;t see the movies in theaters, don&#8217;t go to the theme park. We give zero dollars to transphobes,&#8221; she tweeted.
Last week, a school in West Sussex said it would no longer name a house after her, believing that she is &#8220;no longer an appropriate role model for our community.&#8221;
An author in Glasgow, Scotland, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/author-fired-after-supporting-j-k-rowling">was also recently fired</a> from her job for expressing support for Rowling&#8217;s views on transgenderism.
<div id="subscription-content">
Rowling sparked controversy last month when she said that the concept of transgenderism erases the struggles of women across the world.
“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction,” Rowling tweeted. “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”
“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense,” she continued.
Following her post, Rowling faced severe social media backlash, prompting “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe and “Fantastic Beasts” star Eddie Redmayne to publicly declare their support for the trans movement. As criticism mounted, Rowling penned an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rowling-pens-essay-defending-herself-against-trans-blowback-i-refuse-to-bow-down">essay</a> about her experiences as a survivor of both sexual assault and domestic violence and argued that the concept of men becoming women erases womanhood entirely.
“It isn’t enough for women to be trans allies,” she wrote. “Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves. But, as many women have said before me, ‘woman’ is not a costume. ‘Woman’ is not an idea in a man’s head. ‘Woman’ is not a pink brain, a liking for Jimmy Choos, or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive.”
Though the publishing company producing Rowling’s new book, &#8220;The Ickabog,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/publishing-staff-threatens-to-strike-if-company-keeps-j-k-rowlings-book">has been pressured</a> by LGBTQ activists to censure the author, the company has stood by her right to express her opinion.

The classic book collection &#8220;The Baby-Sitters Club&#8221; returned to Netflix recently with a reboot boasting all levels of woke, including a transgender character played by a 9-year-old transgender actor – a boy presenting himself as a girl.
According to <a href="https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/michael-foust/netflix-introduces-transgender-child-into-tv-g-kids-show-baby-sitters-club.html">Christian Headlines</a>, the new show, which has been labeled TV-G, takes a dramatic woke turn in episode 4 when the character Mary Anne is asked to babysit a &#8220;girl&#8221; named Bailey.
&#8220;In episode 4, Mary Anne – one of the five sitters – is asked by a child’s mother to keep a little girl named Bailey,&#8221; reported the outlet. &#8220;Mary Anne and Bailey hold a tea party in Bailey’s room, and when Bailey spills water on her pink dress, Mary Anne opens the little girl’s closet to get a change of clothes. But she only finds boys’ clothes.&#8221;
Bailey tells the perplexed Mary Anne that the boys&#8217; clothes were his old clothes. In voiceover, Mary Anne says, &#8220;That&#8217;s when I understood: Bailey was a little girl and her new clothes help people see it.&#8221;
Bailey is played by actor Kai Shappley, a 9-year-old boy presenting himself as a girl. As noted by Christian Headlines, the show &#8220;was listed in Netflix’s 10-most popular titles&#8221; last Thursday and is available in children&#8217;s profiles.
Further exploring LGBT themes, Mary Anne later seeks council from her friend Dawn, whose father is gay. According to Dawn, being transgender is about as natural as being left-handed.
“It&#8217;s like this: Are you right-handed or left-handed?” Dawn asks Mary Anne.
“Right,” Mary Anne responds.
“And if someone tried to make you do everything with your left hand, it would be super-weird right?” Dawn asks before adding, “Well, that&#8217;s how Bailey feels. The same way that you know that you’re right-handed, Bailey knows she&#8217;s a girl. … We all want our outsides to match our insides.”
Enlightened by Dawn&#8217;s woke musings, Mary Anne later takes Bailey to the hospital after he falls ill and lectures the doctors about the cruelties of treating him according to his biological sex. &#8220;Bailey is not a boy, and by treating her like one, you are completely ignoring who she is,&#8221; she says.
LGBT representation in children&#8217;s shows has seen a dramatic uptick in just the span of five years, most especially at Disney, which started in 2014 when the show “Good Luck Charlie” <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/good-luck-charlie-lesbians_n_4675943">featured</a> a lesbian mom couple.
“In the storyline, parents Amy and Bob Duncan (Leigh-Allyn Baker and Eric Allan Kramer) set up a playdate for preschooler Charlie (Mia Talerico) and one of her new friends,” TV Guide reported at the time. “When the kid arrives, the Duncans learn that Charlie’s pal has two moms. That’s fine, but the potential new friendship is put to the test as one mom chats with Amy, and the other is stuck listening to Bob’s dull stories.”
In 2019, the PBS television show “Arthur” made waves when a beloved character came out as gay by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/14/arts/television/ratburn-arthur.html">marrying his male partner</a>. That was later followed by the Disney show “Andi Mack” featuring the first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/50097/disney-features-first-teenage-gay-couple-andi-mack-paul-bois">teenage gay couple on the network, </a>which was then followed by the “Rocko’s Modern Life” reboot featuring a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rockos-modern-life-reboot-features-transgender-paul-bois">transgender storyline</a>.
