Actor Tom Felton didn’t take the bait when a reporter asked him about the controversy over JK Rowling taking a stand against radical trans activists. 
The 37-year-old celeb, who played the villain Draco Malfoy in the successful “Harry Potter” film franchise and will reprise the role for the upcoming Broadway production, was asked about the matter Sunday night at the Tony Awards. When a Variety reporter asked Felton if Rowling’s views affected him or his work, he rejected the suggestion and reiterated his support for Rowling.
&#8220;No, I can&#8217;t say it does. I&#8217;m not really that attuned to it,” the British star said.

&#8220;The only thing I always remind myself is that I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to travel the world. Here I am in New York,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter, and she&#8217;s responsible for that. So I&#8217;m incredibly grateful.&#8221;
Over the past five years, Rowling has faced scorn in the media and among former fans for taking the position that sex and gender are determined by biology. Most “Harry Potter” actors <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/j-k-rowling-vs-the-trans-agenda-heres-what-harry-potter-cast-members-have-said-about-the-ongoing-battle">denounced her position</a> and distanced themselves from the billionaire author, but several have come to her defense.
It all started in 2020 with a series of viral tweets from Rowling stating her position. “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 wrote in part at the time.
British star Daniel Radcliffe, who played the main character Harry Potter in the film series, wrote an essay for The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ-focused nonprofit, in the wake of Rowling’s viral tweets. 
“I firmly stand with the trans community,” Rupert Grint, the actor who played Ron Weasley, said in a statement at the time. 
“Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren’t who they say they are,” Emma Watson, who played Hermione, shared on Twitter in June 2020.
“Fantastic Beasts” star Eddie Redmayne said he was pro-trans rights, but also noted that critics were being way too hard on Rowling, calling the online backlash “absolutely disgusting.”
Actor Ralph Fiennes, who plays Lord Voldemort in the “Harry Potter” franchise, has been one of Rowling’s staunchest defenders.
“I can’t understand the vitriol directed at her,” Fiennes said in a March 2021 interview. “I can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language toward others, disturbing.”
Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid in the “Harry Potter” movies, also came to Rowling’s defense prior to his death in October 2022.
“I don’t think what she said was offensive, really,” he told Radio Times in 2020. “I don’t know why, but there’s a whole Twitter generation of people who hang around waiting to be offended. They wouldn’t have won the war, would they?”

A girls&#8217; high school softball team in Minnesota won its first-ever state championship on Friday thanks to the lights-out pitching of a boy who identifies as a girl.
The Champlin Park Rebels took down the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars 6-0 in the 4A title game, riding the arm of Marissa Rothenberger, a boy, who pitched the entire game, giving up just two hits to Bloomington Jefferson. In the Rebels&#8217; three-game tournament title run, Rothenberger pitched all 21 innings for the team, allowing just two runs.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Champlin Park advanced to the state championship in a comeback win against White Bear Lake on Wednesday, with Rothenberger, a junior, hitting two huge doubles that sparked a rally for the Rebels, Outkick <a href="https://www.outkick.com/sports/trans-pitcher-champlin-park-white-bear-lake-minnesota-softball-semifinals">reported</a>. According to the outlet, two fathers of girls on White Bear Lake &#8220;expressed deep frustration with the system that allowed their daughters to compete against a male athlete.&#8221;
One dad specifically called out Democrats for allowing boys to compete against girls in Minnesota. &#8220;You&#8217;re looking at a whole team of future Republicans,&#8221; he said.
The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) allows athletes to compete “consistent with their gender identity or expression in an environment free from discrimination with an equal opportunity for participation in athletics and fine arts,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.startribune.com/why-did-us-rep-tom-emmer-single-out-a-teenage-transgender-athlete-on-social-media/601365117">The Minnesota Star Tribune</a>. In February, the Trump administration opened an investigation into the MSHSL over its transgender policy after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect women&#8217;s sports. Trump has gone after some states, such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-vows-large-scale-fines-on-california-after-boy-wins-girls-track-events">California</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sics-his-doj-on-maine-over-men-in-womens-sports">Maine</a>, threatening to cut off federal funding if they continue to allow boys to compete against girls.

The MSHSL did not respond when The Daily Wire asked if it would change its policy after Champlin Park&#8217;s state championship.
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has been blasted by conservatives and women&#8217;s sports advocates for allowing boys to play against girls in his state. Walz has made the transgender issue a big part of his platform, turning the state into a “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/07/tim-walz-minnesota-trans-refuge-bill/">trans refuge</a>” and supporting life-altering gender procedures on children.
Along with leading his team to the state championship, Rothenberger also received &#8220;All-Tournament Team&#8221; honors, according to Outkick reporter Amber Harding Snyder. Rothenberger was pictured towering over the girls selected for the &#8220;All-Tournament Team.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Rothenberger was born “Charlie Dean,” but after turning 9 years old, his mother applied to the Hennepin County District Court to change the name and sex on her child’s birth certificate, a request that was approved, according to documents obtained by <a href="https://reduxx.info/we-need-sex-screening-womens-sports-watchdog-calls-for-mandatory-sex-screening-after-male-student-uses-fake-birth-certificate-to-join-girls-softball-teams/">Reduxx</a>. Rothenberger reportedly kept his gender transition hidden from his teammates, but one of his former teammates, who spoke to Reduxx on the condition of anonymity, said that eventually girls and parents started to figure it out. Rothenberger has reportedly shared locker rooms, bathrooms, and rooms with teammates while traveling for games.

Dr. Henry Mosley of Johns Hopkins University condemned the “gender ideology” movement, citing the lived experience of his granddaughter, who fell victim to what he describes as “medical malpractice,” IW Features <a href="https://www.iwfeatures.com/profile/johns-hopkins-professor-says-granddaughter-prishas-trans-diagnosis-was-medical-malpractice/">reported</a>.  
Mosley, a physician epidemiologist, and professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, first realized the dangers of “gender ideology” when his 16-year-old granddaughter Prisha told him she was transgender. As Mosley’s career largely focused on family planning and preventing abortions, controversy was nothing new to him, but he was not keen on accepting his granddaughter&#8217;s “transgender” diagnosis. 
“I called her counselor, who just completely put me off. She said I didn’t know what I was talking about,” Mosley stated to IW Features. “My son, Jonathan Mosley, who’s a physician, also spoke with her, but there was nothing we could do to persuade her that Prisha was mentally ill.”
According to Mosley, Prisha’s counselor was adamant that her distress stemmed from her family not affirming her “trans” identity. Despite this, Mosley observed that Prisha was self-harming, attempting suicide, and “having all kinds of serious mental health problems.” 
The American Medical Association (AMA) <a href="https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/should-mental-health-screening-and-psychotherapy-be-required-prior-body-modification-gender/2016-11">guidelines</a> require mental health screening and psychotherapy for gender-confused patients, the lack of which ultimately led to Prisha’s decline. 
“[Gender ideology] is like a cult or a religion, and you can’t persuade people who have certain religious beliefs that they are contrary to science,” Mosley said. 
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=wisepops&amp;utm_campaign=dad&amp;utm_content=fathersdaygiftpopups" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gift Dad an All Access Membership. Use code DAD40 at checkout to save 40%!</a>
Like many trans-identifying individuals, Prisha broke away from her family and integrated into a transgender community in Florida. During this time, Mosley kept in communication with her and said he would support her in any way he could. 
“When she broke up with her partner and decided to leave Florida, we helped her,” Mosley said. “She had found a job in Michigan, and we rented her a truck and helped her make the move.”
While living in Michigan, Prisha chose to detransition, and since then, she’s become an advocate, bringing awareness to the dangers of “gender ideology.”
“I’m grateful that people in my family are listening to me and care about the damage that happened,” Prisha told IW Features. “People trust doctors, but recently, doctors working with patients who claim to be trans have been dishonest and harmful.”
Prisha has <a href="https://ncfamily.org/nc-detransitioners-lawsuit-first-to-proceed-in-court/">filed a lawsuit</a> against the medical professionals who pushed her to transition, as have many other detransitioners. Mosley said the underlying issue is money and that the “lawsuits are going to have a huge impact.” 
“Her mental illness was not relieved at all by transition,” Mosley said. “She was told that ‘You’re really a male, and if you just transition, life is going to be good.’ Well, of course, none of her mental health symptoms were alleviated by living as a male.” 
Mosley followed in his granddaughter’s footsteps by becoming an advocate for children vulnerable to this ideology, <a href="https://cnsmaryland.org/2025/03/13/lawmakers-seek-to-ban-gender-affirming-medication-for-minors/">testifying</a> at the Maryland State House and urging lawmakers to ban “gender-affirming care.” He also published an <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2025/03/21/schools-not-the-place-to-discuss-transgender-ideology-reader-commentary/">op-ed</a> in the Baltimore Sun, where he says “gender ideology” should be kept out of schools. 
Unfortunately, Mosley said he has not been able to have an impact on Johns Hopkins, where he says his medical records at the university have been changed from saying “sex” to “sex assigned at birth.” 
“I emailed the CEO of the medical school with a little information about biology, and he never responded,” Mosley said. 
Mosley refers to what happened to his granddaughter and others as “medical malpractice” in the gender medicine field, and he said he will continue to be outspoken about it.

An Illinois YMCA is hosting an LGBT-themed camp for second graders alongside an activist organization that hands out so-called “gender-affirming” clothing items like “tucking underwear” and chest binders to anyone regardless of age. 
The Stephens Family YMCA in Champaign <a href="https://sf-ymca-prod.oneeach.dev/sites/sf-ymca/files/2025-02/Summer%20Camp%20Guide%202025.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will host</a> “Camp Kaleidoscope,&#8221; a program designed for “LGBTQ+ youth or youth who are part of LGBTQ+ families.” The camp is offered at a “privately rented residential space” in partnership with Uniting Pride of Champaign County, an activist organization that distributes clothing items meant to alter the physical appearance of people who identify as transgender. 
Two sessions will be offered: one for children in second through fifth grades in June, and another for kids in sixth through ninth grade in July. According to its summer camp guide, the program is run “in collaboration” with Uniting Pride, an LGBT “resource center” for Eastern Illinois that leases office space from the University YMCA in Champaign.

“Camp provides children with daily summer adventures that promote a healthy spirit, mind and body in a safe space where campers can meet new friends, learn team building, and experience character growth and development. This camp is a full day camp, which will take place at an offsite location for 5 days,” a description of the camp reads. “The goal of our camp is to experience joy in recreation, while creating a safe environment for youth who are part of the LGBTQ+ community to be authentically themselves.”

The camp is held at a “privately rented residential space and includes woods, trails, a pond, indoor meeting space, indoor recreation, and more.” 
The Daily Wire reached out to the Stephens Family YMCA for further clarification on what role Uniting Pride would have in the camp. 
The American Parents Coalition, which has been leading an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/parents-sound-alarm-on-ymca-camps-allowing-men-in-girls-showers-and-cabins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awareness campaign</a> against the YMCA’s embrace of gender ideology and policies encouraging male access to female spaces, said the partnership should trouble parents. 
&#8220;Summer camps are designed for kids to have fun, make new friends, or learn new skills — not as opportunities for the YMCA to push gender ideology on young kids who are away from their parents,” American Parents Coalition Executive Director Alleigh Marré told The Daily Wire. “The YMCA’s ‘Camp Kaleidoscope’ — which partners with a radical LGBTQ+ organization that offers chest binders and other clothes to gender-confused individuals, including youth – ought to deeply concern parents.&#8221;
On its <a href="https://www.unitingpride.org/whats-uniting-pride.html">website</a>, Uniting Pride makes clear that it believes that young people have the “right to privacy and autonomy over their gender or sexual identity” and the “right to express their gender identity in school and utilize all facilities that match their gender identity.” 
Uniting Pride <a href="https://archive.ph/OE0B5#selection-1759.10-1759.176">offers</a> “free binders and waist cinchers for residents of Illinois who want them but are not able to afford them or who are not able to safely purchase them on their own.” They also state that they have “a small amount of tucking underwear available.”
Binders are used to compress the breasts of females to appear more masculine. Tucking underwear is used to obscure male genitalia, and waist cinchers are used to make body shapes appear more masculine or feminine. Uniting Pride notes that its distribution program has no age restrictions. 
“Anyone of any age is welcome to apply,” the organization says on its website, which has a “quick exit” feature, an option that critics have said enables kids to hide access from parents. 
In a <a href="https://archive.ph/7GxH3#selection-761.38-761.88">form</a> provided to request the binders, Uniting Pride asks if an applicant is “able to afford or safely purchase a binder on your own” and offers to send new binder users information “about how to properly wear and care for your binder.”
The organization notes that it accepts “used gender-affirming items” as long as they are “generally good condition and be free of stains and scents of any kind.”
The organization also holds a <a href="https://www.unitingpride.org/read-up.html">stash</a> of transgender-themed books aimed at young people such as “A Kids Book about Being Transgender,” “A Kids Book about Being Non-Binary,” “A Tale of Two Mommies,” “Being Jazz,” “Drag Teen,” and the sexually explicit “Gender Queer.” 
The Stephens Family YMCA, which claims it has a mission of “putting Christian principles into practice,” says in its handbook that its access to private facilities is determined by gender identity. 
“All members will have access to restroom and locker room facilities that correspond to their self-identified, self-reported gender identity to the extent permitted by applicable law,” the <a href="https://sf-ymca-prod.oneeach.dev/sites/sf-ymca/files/2025-01/Membership%20handbook%202025%20NEW.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handbook</a> says. 
The YMCA has recently come under fire from conservative groups over its endorsement of its affiliates allowing access to showers, locker rooms, and overnight facilities on the basis of gender identity. The YMCA <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ymca-scrubs-transgender-guidance-after-parent-group-raises-alarm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrubbed</a> or hid a plethora of transgender-themed resources from its website last week after the American Parents Coalition launched its campaign.
“Camp Kaleidoscope&#8217;s partnership with these activist organizations is yet another indictment of the YMCA&#8217;s unacceptable prioritization of gender ideology over children’s safety,” Marré told The Daily Wire.

WASHINGTON—The FBI has received dozens of tips over the past three days regarding surgical transgender procedures on children, The Daily Wire has learned. 
The bureau took to social media Monday to ask Americans to report any evidence of medical professionals performing irreversible transgender procedures on minors. As of Thursday morning, the Daily Wire can first report, the FBI said it had received at least 100 tips.
The move comes as President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration scrutinizes the transgender medicine industry, which has long pushed &#8220;gender-affirming care&#8221; as &#8220;medically necessary&#8221; for those experiencing gender dysphoria — even children.
Erica Knight, an advisor to FBI Director Kash Patel and mother of three, told The Daily Wire that the bureau will &#8220;never stop fighting for our most vulnerable — our children.&#8221;
&#8220;As a mother, I’m deeply grateful and proud to know the future of America’s kids is one rooted in safety, strength, and opportunity,&#8221; she said.
Gender affirming care is a euphemism for transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers. Under President Joe Biden, the White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-early-trans-surgeries-hormones-are-crucial-for-kids-teens-who-identify-as-trans">claimed</a> that &#8220;early” transgender surgeries, hormone treatment, and affirmations were “crucial” for the health of kids and teens who identify as transgender and nonbinary.
&#8220;Help the FBI protect children,&#8221; the bureau posted on X Monday. &#8220;As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care.&#8221; 
The post encouraged Americans to &#8220;report tips of any hospitals, clinics, or practitioners performing these surgical procedures on children.&#8221;

Following the FBI&#8217;s announcement, outlets like Axios framed the call for tips as a call for &#8220;tips on gender-affirming surgeries for children,&#8221; claiming that &#8220;gender-affirming surgery is <a class="gtmContentClick" href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/hhs-report-gender-care-risk" target="_self" rel="noopener" data-vars-link-text="rare" data-vars-click-url="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/hhs-report-gender-care-risk" data-vars-content-id="e16ea1c5-801c-4670-bb5c-6e4cc747c29d" data-vars-headline="FBI seeks tips on gender-affirming surgeries for children" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link">rare</a> in adolescents and <a class="gtmContentClick" href="https://www.endocrine.org/clinical-practice-guidelines/gender-dysphoria-gender-incongruence#2" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-vars-link-text="considered" data-vars-click-url="https://www.endocrine.org/clinical-practice-guidelines/gender-dysphoria-gender-incongruence#2" data-vars-content-id="e16ea1c5-801c-4670-bb5c-6e4cc747c29d" data-vars-headline="FBI seeks tips on gender-affirming surgeries for children" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link">considered</a> on a case-by-case basis.&#8221; Axios also cited activist claims that so-called &#8220;gender-affirming care&#8221; improves the mental health of kids who think they were born in the wrong body.
In response to the framing, FBI spokesman Ben Williamson responded: &#8220;Actually what we said was we would like tips on any hospitals or clinics who break the law and mutilate children under the guise of &#8216;gender affirming care.&#8217; And we do. 1-800-CALL-FBI or <a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://t.co/gMDApktznD" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">http://tips.fbi.gov</a>.

Trump made protecting children from transgender procedures a major part of his campaign. The issue brought together Americans across the cultural spectrum, united in the interest of protecting young people from decisions they could not reverse.
Commentators, lawmakers, people <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/01/24/transsexual-slams-planned-parenthood-aclu-womens-sports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who identify as transgender</a>, and people who have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/detransitioners-flood-social-media-with-testimony-photos-the-darkest-time-in-my-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempted transitions</a> have expressed grave concerns about encouraging children or young people to explore transitions of any kind.
Chloe Cole attempted to transition as a teenager and underwent a double mastectomy in an attempt to become a boy. Cole has since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/detransitioner-chloe-cole-transgender-supreme-court-case-means-everything-to-me">sued</a> the medical professionals who pushed her down this path, arguing that she could not properly consent to the procedures due to her age, her mental distress, and the ideological premises that the medical professionals presented her with.

The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-federal-trade-commission-is-setting-its-sights-on-transgender-procedures-on-kids?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Federal+Trade+Commission+Sets+Sights+On+Transgender+Procedures+On+Kids">reported last month</a> that the Federal Trade Commission is setting its sights on the industry pushing transgender medical procedures on minors, a potential major step in the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on radical gender ideology.
The FTC will hold a day-long workshop in July on transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers, according to an internal memo obtained by The Daily Wire. The purpose of the workshop is to build on President Trump’s executive order ending the federal government’s support for so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors.
While transgender advocates claim that performing transgender surgeries, hormones, and puberty blocker procedures on children will cause them to be less suicidal, the FTC memo notes that “a growing chorus of experts now publicly contradict these claims.&#8221; It also points out that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals recently called transgender procedures “in truth still experimental.”
The president signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> in January protecting children from irreversible gender transition procedures. The order describes the transgender procedures that doctors and activists have pushed upon children in recent years, and states that the United States will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the attempted gender transition of a child, promising that it will “rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”
“Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions,” the order states. “This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.”

A leading pro-LGBT group this week published a report on &#8220;anti-LGBTQ incidents&#8221; in the United States. It&#8217;s incredibly shocking — but not in the way you&#8217;d think.
GLAAD (Gay &amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) <a href="https://assets.glaad.org/m/517666e6160db065/original/2025-GLAAD-ALERT-Desk-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> more than 932 hate incidents across the country over the year that ended May 1. The group also claims that &#8220;anti-trans hate hit a record high&#8221; and that &#8220;52% of all incidents were targeting transgender and gender nonconforming people.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s the kicker: the biggest category of incidents GLAAD recorded was &#8220;protests.&#8221; Yeah, you read that right.
It&#8217;s not clear which specific protests GLAAD is referring to.
Perhaps it&#8217;s parents fighting for their children. Just last month, Colorado parents <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-parents-blocked-the-radical-child-custody-part-of-colorados-new-transgender-law?author=Mairead+Elordi&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=How+Parents+Blocked+The+Radical+Child+Custody+Part+Of+Colorado’s+New+Transgender+Law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a> up at the state capital to rally against a radical bill that declared that parents in custody battles who misgender or “deadname” their child were guilty of “coercive control” and could lose their child.
Or maybe it&#8217;s female athletes <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/most-likely-ended-my-career-disc-golfer-who-protested-trans-competitor-says-she-has-no-regrets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">walking</a> off the field and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-female-fencer-and-trans-supporting-usa-fencing-head-face-off-at-heated-doge-hearing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refusing</a> to compete against trans-identifying male competitors.
Perhaps it&#8217;s one of the countless other events organized by the countless concerned Americans who have shown up at school board meetings, state legislatures, and <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/news/politics/2025/04/22/demonstrations-supreme-court-religious-freedom-lgbtq-diversity-photos/83210169007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even</a> the Supreme Court to speak out against LGBT agendas.
Meanwhile, of course, there&#8217;s a long list of actually violent acts the Left does not consider hate. How about the disturbed trans-identifying woman who shot up The Covenant School in Nashville in 2023, killing six people, including three nine-year-olds? Or the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 that destroyed over $1 billion of property? Or maybe the firebombing of pro-life pregnancy centers around the time Roe v. Wade was overturned?

Still waiting on the report that includes those!
Another eye-catching category in GLAAD&#8217;s report was &#8220;propaganda drops,&#8221; with more than 60 incidents, although it is not exactly clear what a &#8220;propaganda drop&#8221; is. Perhaps college students <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/university-bans-student-from-handing-out-christian-pamphlets-to-lgbt-studies-class.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handing</a> out Christian pamphlets to an LGBT studies class?
GLAAD claimed trans-identifying and &#8220;gender nonconforming&#8221; people were the target of over half of all the anti-LGBTQ incidents, but this includes 209 &#8220;protests&#8221; and 33 &#8220;propaganda drops.&#8221;
&#8220;Compared to last year’s data, this represents a 14% increase in incidents targeting transgender and gender nonconforming people,&#8221; GLAAD said.
The other categories included about 280 harassment incidents, 140 vandalism incidents, 85 assaults, 20 bomb threats, and 15 arson attempts.
So bomb threats, arson, and violent assaults are in the same &#8220;hate&#8221; category as legal, peaceful protests exercising First Amendment rights. Got it!
Sarah Moore, who runs GLAAD&#8217;s tracker, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/02/anti-lgbtq-incidents-glaad-data-transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the tracker includes &#8220;every expression of hate&#8221; regardless of whether it is a crime because &#8220;LGBTQ people are going to experience these things as acts of hate, regardless of if they&#8217;re prosecuted as that.&#8221;
GLAAD pointed the finger at the Trump administration, saying its executive orders &#8220;specifically demean and discriminate&#8221; against trans-identifying people.
Shortly after taking office, President Donald Trump issued multiple executive orders that banned federal funds for schools that allow males in girls&#8217; sports and bathrooms, as well as for hospitals that perform transgender surgeries on children.
One order also defined sex as male and female — remember when this was common sense? Now it&#8217;s &#8220;hateful.&#8221;
&#8220;Hope shines brightest in the darkest moments,&#8221; said GLAAD&#8217;s president and CEO, Sarah Kate Ellis, in a letter published with the report. &#8220;As we honor the queer and trans leaders of decades past and present, and resolve to overcome the challenges of today, we create a new legacy of joy as resistance.&#8221;
By the way, this is not even the first year GLAAD has counted protests and rallies as &#8220;hate&#8221; incidents.
GLAAD launched its &#8220;ALERT Desk&#8221; database to track anti-LGBTQ extremism back in June 2022. Of the 2,626 incidents GLAAD <a href="https://glaad.org/anti-lgbtq-extremism-reporting-tracker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says</a> have occurred in the three years since the database was launched, 872 of them are protests or rallies.
Can&#8217;t wait to see next year&#8217;s report, which will probably include every time someone looked sideways at a drag queen!

GLAAD Says Transgender Hate Is Up. Turns Out They Count Protests As Hate ‘Incidents.’

GLAAD Says Transgender Hate Is Up. Turns Out They Count Protests As Hate 'Incidents'

GLAAD

A federal judge on Tuesday issued a sweeping block of President Donald Trump’s order to stop taxpayer-funded transgender procedures for prisoners.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth of Washington, D.C., granted class-action status to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of over 1,000 federal prison inmates who are taking advantage of taxpayer-funded prison systems to finance clothing, hormones, and other expenses.
“In light of the plaintiffs’ largely personal motives for undergoing gender-affirming care, neither the BOP nor the Executive Order provides any serious explanation as to why the treatment modalities covered by the Executive Order or implementing memoranda should be handled differently than any other mental health intervention,” Lamberth wrote in a 36-page <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/4b45e925-7db7-4cb7-b423-064d985f1373.pdf">ruling</a>.
“[N]othing in the thin record before the Court suggests that either the BOP or the President consciously took stock of — much less studied — the potentially debilitating effects that the new policies could have on transgender inmates before the implementing memoranda came into force,” Lamberth added.
The ruling is the latest example of a federal judge issuing a ruling the effect of which expands far beyond the scope of the case at hand. The ACLU lawsuit was brought on behalf of just three transgender-identifying prisoners before the court allowed it class-action status.

The White House said the “decision allowing transgender women, aka MEN, in women’s prisons fundamentally makes women less safe and ignores the biological truth that there are only two genders. The Trump administration looks forward to ultimate victory on this issue in court,” according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-judge-rules-against-trump-order-halting-sex-change-procedures-prisons">Fox News</a>.
Trump issued an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/">executive order</a> on January 20 setting the administration’s official stance of recognizing only two genders, male and female, and rejecting “ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex.”
“The Attorney General shall ensure that the Bureau of Prisons revises its policies concerning medical care to be consistent with this order, and shall ensure that no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex,” the order says in part.
The courts have emerged as a major venue for opponents of Trump&#8217;s agenda to stifle the administration. Last week, a court <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2jeg8zej8o">interfered</a> in the administration&#8217;s ongoing battle with Harvard University, temporarily blocking the Department of Homeland Security from freezing new international enrollments at the Ivy League school.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that there are &#8220;no plans&#8221; for a &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; proclamation.
Asked about any potential presidential proclamations coming down the pipeline during what many on the Left celebrate as &#8220;Pride Month,&#8221; Leavitt said during a White House press briefing that the administration had no such plans, adding that President Donald Trump &#8220;is proud to be a president for all Americans regardless of race, religion, or creed.&#8221;

Leavitt made the comments after the Education Department declared June to be &#8220;Title IX Month,&#8221; recognizing the 53rd anniversary of the legislation that protects Americans from sex-based discrimination in education, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-education-department-celebrates-title-ix-month-ditches-pride-month?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Education+Department+Celebrates+%E2%80%98Title+IX+Month%2C%E2%80%99+Ditches+Pride+Month">reported</a> on Monday.
The Trump White House is doing a complete 180 from the Biden administration&#8217;s focus on LGBT issues. While Trump celebrated &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; with a tweet in 2019, he <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/president-trump-misses-pride-month-third-time-n1222441">never issued</a> a presidential proclamation for the LGBT festivities.
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, took the &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; celebration to a new level, releasing <a href="https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/05/31/a-proclamation-on-lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-queer-and-intersex-pride-month-2024/">proclamations</a> each year he was in office and hosting LGBT activists and social media personalities at the White House.
During a &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; party on the White House lawn in 2023, a transgender activist named Rose Montoya, a man who identifies as a woman, met with Biden at the party before <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-faces-backlash-after-trans-activist-goes-topless-at-white-house-pride-event-a-disgrace-to-our-country">appearing topless</a> on video with his hands covering his breast implants. The Biden administration later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trans-activist-who-went-topless-at-wh-event-apologizes-calls-people-who-spoke-out-vile">called</a> the act &#8220;inappropriate and disrespectful,&#8221; and Montoya apologized.

Throughout his presidency, Biden pushed radical policies on LGBT issues, especially regarding children. In 2022, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-directs-hhs-to-expand-access-to-transgender-care-including-for-children">signed</a> an executive order to expand adults&#8217; and children&#8217;s access to radical gender procedures while condemning Republican-led states for clamping down on those same procedures on minors. In 2024, just a few months before the election, and as public opinion on the issue shifted, the Biden administration came out in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/health/transgender-surgery-biden.html">opposition</a> to gender surgeries on children.
In his first four months in office, Trump has taken a sledgehammer to the most radical parts of the LGBT movement, <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-children-from-chemical-and-surgical-mutilation/">pushing</a> to protect children from life-altering gender procedures and prevent men from competing in women&#8217;s sports.
&#8220;The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself,&#8221; the White House wrote in Trump&#8217;s order, titled &#8220;Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.&#8221;

WASHINGTON—Republican Illinois Congresswoman Mary Miller will introduce a resolution on Tuesday declaring June as &#8220;Family Month,&#8221; a bid to reclaim the first month of summer from LGBTQ ideology, The Daily Wire can first report.
The resolution is supported by a number of parental rights advocacy groups, including Moms for America, the American Family Project, the Family Research Council, the Eagle Forum, and others. It&#8217;s co-sponsored by Republican Reps. Michael Cloud, Harriet Hageman, Barry Moore, Diana Harshbarger, Randy Weber, Troy Nehls, Mark Harris, and Michael Rulli.
&#8220;The American family is under relentless attack from a radical leftist agenda that seeks to erase truth, redefine marriage, and confuse our children,&#8221; Miller told The Daily Wire. &#8220;By recognizing June as Family Month, we reject the lie of &#8216;Pride&#8217; and instead honor God&#8217;s timeless and perfect design. If we truly want to restore our nation, we must stand united to protect and uphold the foundation upon which it was built — the family.&#8221;
The resolution comes amid heavy pushback against gender ideology from President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration. The president has enacted multiple executive orders banning transgender procedures for children, men in women&#8217;s sports and spaces, and inappropriate sexual or gender content in schools.
The Daily Wire first reported on Monday that the Education Department has declared June “Title IX Month” in recognition of the 53rd anniversary of the historic legislation’s passage, opting out of celebrating &#8220;Pride Month&#8221; as President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration had done.
Miller&#8217;s resolution is a strongly-worded repudiation of the ideological gender principles pushed by activists over the last decade. It describes the traditional nuclear family as &#8220;the foundation of a healthy society&#8221; and states that mothers and fathers &#8220;play a crucial and irreplaceable role in the upbringing of their children.&#8221;
It also states that the &#8220;best environment for children to thrive is a home with a married mother and father,&#8221; and it points to the high divorce rate in the United States and the rise in young people delaying or forgoing marriage and family, pointing out that &#8220;many tax and welfare policies encourage cohabitation and penalize couples for getting married.&#8221;
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
&#8220;The birth rate in the United States has fallen below the replacement level needed to replenish the population and sustain the economy,&#8221; the resolution notes.
&#8220;The month of June was first declared as Pride Month by President Bill Clinton in 1999 and has been done so by Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, rejecting the importance of marriage and family,&#8221; the resolution reads, noting that since then, &#8220;Americans are inundated with perverse Pride Month displays and events throughout the month of June that denigrate the nuclear family.&#8221;
At the same time, the resolution argues, Americans who&#8221;hold to a traditional view of marriage and family are often disparaged,&#8221; and &#8220;the decline of marriage and family has corresponded to a rise in crime, drug abuse, and other social ills.&#8221;
The resolution quotes John Adams, who wrote to the Massachusetts Militia in October 1798 that ‘‘Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.&#8221;
American civilization depends on the &#8220;continuation of traditional marriage and family,&#8221; the resolution states. It calls for the House of Representatives to recognize the importance of the traditional nuclear family, the benefits of marriage to men, women, children, and society, and to no longer recognize June as Pride Month.

EXCLUSIVE: GOP Resolution Declares June ‘Family Month’ Instead Of ‘Pride Month’

Mary Miller

President Donald Trump said late Monday night that California would be hit with major fines after a trans-identifying male athlete <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/male-dominates-girls-track-at-california-state-finals-despite-trump-threat">won</a> state titles in multiple high school track and field events over the weekend.
Trump called out the state and its Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, for not complying with his executive order banning boys from competing against girls in athletic events. Controversy erupted in California as AB Hernandez, a 16-year-old boy who identifies as a girl, took home gold medals in the high jump and triple jump at the state finals on Saturday.
&#8220;A Biological Male competed in California Girls State Finals, WINNING BIG, despite the fact that they were warned by me not to do so. As Governor Gavin Newscum fully understands, large scale fines will be imposed!!!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114617654959425582">wrote</a> on Truth Social.
The president previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-calls-out-newsom-threatens-to-cut-funding-over-high-school-boy-competing-in-girls-sports?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Calls+Out+Newsom%2C+Threatens+To+Cut+Funding+Over+High+School+Boy+Competing+In+Girls%E2%80%99+Sports">blasted</a> Newsom and California and threatened to cut federal funding from the state if it continued to allow Hernandez to compete against girls in sports. Trump said last week that he planned on speaking to Newsom about the issue “to find out which way he wants to go.”
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/girls-will-get-their-medals-california-clarifies-transgender-policy-for-high-school-track-finals">revised</a> its rules for transgender athletes ahead of the state championships, allowing Hernandez to still compete in the girls category but awarding girls their places on the podium, even if they scored lower than the trans-identifying boy. The policy change was applauded by Newsom, who called it &#8220;a reasonable, respectful way to navigate a complex issue without compromising competitive fairness.&#8221; Many conservatives and women&#8217;s sports advocates, however, argued that the new policy doesn&#8217;t go far enough, as it still allows Hernandez to compete against girls.
In the high jump, Hernandez shared the first-place spot with &#8220;co-winners&#8221; Jillene Wetteland and Lelani Laruelle, the highest-scoring girls. In the long jump, Hernandez took second place, sharing the podium with Brooke White. Long jump champion Loren Webster beat Hernandez by just a few inches.
“Sharing the podium was nothing but an honor,” White said, according to <a href="https://www.kcra.com/article/california-track-and-field-finals-ab-hernandez-results/64936156#:~:text=a%20half%2Dmeter.-,Earlier%20in%20the%20afternoon%2C%20Hernandez%20placed%20second%20in%20the%20long,we%20all%20have%20her%20back.%E2%80%9D">KCRA</a>. “As a part of the queer community I want AB Hernandez to know we all have her back.”
The Trump administration has threatened to cut federal funding from states — such as California, Maine, and Minnesota — that it says violate federal Title IX protections for girls and women by allowing boys and men to compete in female sports. Assistant U.S. Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon <a href="https://x.com/erinfriday75490/status/1927778642655867236?s=46&amp;t=Ry4tRhue8IunLXZ29eEvrg">announced</a> last week that her office is investigating California&#8217;s high school sports governing body over potential Title IX violations.
“My office has found reasonable cause to believe that CIF, too, is engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination against female athletes,” Dhillon wrote.

WASHINGTON—The Education Department has launched two investigations into high-profile, Title IX-related cases that occurred during President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration, The Daily Wire can first report.
As part of its observance of the first &#8220;Title IX Month&#8221; — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-education-department-celebrates-title-ix-month-ditches-pride-month">celebrated in place of Pride Month</a> — the Education Department will launch probes into the University of Wyoming and Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado. These investigations will be conducted by the Education Department&#8217;s Office for Civil Rights.
Each of these probes will deal with a case that garnered national outrage and attention for allowing males in intimate female spaces.

NEW: The Education Department has declared June “Title IX Month” rather than Pride Month. It&#8217;s also launching probes into two high-profile cases that developed under President Biden&#8217;s watch: one in Colorado and the other in Wyoming.

<h3>University of Wyoming</h3>
Members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the University of Wyoming sued the university and Artemis Langford, a male who identifies as a woman, after Langford joined their sorority and lived in their sorority house. The girls accused Langford of watching them shower and change and making inappropriate comments — and having visible erections as he watched them.
“Langford states that he is transgender and that he self-identifies as a woman. His behavior, however, does not reflect a man living as a woman let alone a man attempting to ‘consistently live’ as a woman,” the girls said in their lawsuit, as The Daily Wire&#8217;s Leif Le Mahieu <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawsuit-against-man-who-joined-wyoming-sorority-dismissed-by-federal-judge">previously reported</a>. “Other than occasionally wearing women’s clothing, Langford makes little effort to resemble a woman. He has not undergone treatments to create a more feminine appearance, such as female hormones, feminization surgery, or laser hair removal.”
In August 2023, the lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge who declined to define what a woman was.
“The University of Wyoming chapter voted to admit — and, more broadly, a sorority of hundreds of thousands approved — Langford. With its inquiry beginning and ending there, the Court will not define ‘woman’ today,&#8221; wrote U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson, a Reagan appointee, in his decision. &#8220;The delegate of a private, voluntary organization interpreted ‘woman,’ otherwise undefined in the nonprofit’s bylaws, expansively; this Judge may not invade Kappa Kappa Gamma’s freedom of expressive association and inject the circumscribed definition Plaintiffs urge.&#8221;
The University of Wyoming did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
<h3>Jefferson County Public Schools</h3>
The second investigation deals with Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado, where an 11-year-old girl was assigned to share a bed with a male student who identifies as a transgender girl while on a cross-country school trip, as The Daily Signal first reported. This was not the only incident of its kind within the district, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-school-district-allowed-trans-identifying-female-to-supervise-little-boys-showering-lawsuit-alleges">The Daily Wire reported</a>.
Jefferson County School District’s “Transgender Students” policy requires that all students on overnight visits are to be roomed by their gender identity, rather than their actual sex, according to a September 2024 lawsuit first reported by The Daily Wire.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
NEW: This week we sat down with Joe + Serena Wailes, the parents of an 11-year-old girl shocked to discover on her school trip that she had been assigned to share a bed with a boy who identified as a trans girl.
Joe and Serena share their nightmare story with <a href="https://twitter.com/DailySignal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DailySignal</a>: <a href="https://t.co/w847Oi7nnO">pic.twitter.com/w847Oi7nnO</a>

Though the district shared this policy with trans-identifying students and chaperones, it did not share the policy with students or their parents, who were unaware of the policy until their children found themselves rooming with students and chaperones of the opposite gender on trips.
“I was really upset,” the child&#8217;s mother, Serena Wailes, <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/12/04/exclusive-school-assigned-girl-sleep-boy-who-identifies-trans-parental-notification/">told The Daily Signal in December 2023</a>. “One, I was really upset that she was put in that situation at 11 years old—I don’t feel that is fair to put kids in that kind of situation—and two, that we were not even given the information that this was a possibility before the trip. The whole time they’re saying, ‘Girls on one floor, boys on another, they’re not going to be in each other’s rooms unless it is pre-approved.’ So we’re going through this whole process, not even recognizing that this is a possibility.”
The girl&#8217;s father, Joe Wailes, told The Daily Signal that his wife called him from the hotel and filled him in on what had occurred.
“I felt a bit helpless,” he said at the time. “I was 2,000 miles away. My daughter is scared in a bathroom trying to get herself out of a situation. It was a frustrating experience, and I just really felt like it was not a situation my daughter should be put in.”
In another instance, according to the 2024 lawsuit, the school district placed an 18-year-old female student— who identified as a man but only a week earlier had identified as female — in a cabin with 11 and 12-year-old boys, where she allegedly supervised their changing and showering.
Jefferson County Public Schools did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

EXCLUSIVE: Education Department Probes Two Schools That Let Men In Women’s Spaces

The same trans-identifying male high schooler who dominated last year&#8217;s girls’ Washington state track high school championship did it again over the weekend.
Verónica Garcia, 17, snagged his second state title in two years when he won the girls&#8217; 2A 400-meter race on Saturday.
In video of the race, Garcia can be seen crossing the finish line with a healthy lead over the second place runner.
Garcia, who runs on the girls&#8217; team at East Valley High School, won the same race last year with a record-smashing time of 55.59, close to his time this year, 55.75.

Garcia was heckled and booed by the crowd both before and after the race.

The crowd also reportedly cheered for every female runner during the medal ceremony, but booed when Garcia was announced as the winner.

After the race, Garcia lashed out at his critics, saying said the heckling made him &#8220;angry&#8221; and want to win even more.
“I’ll be honest, I kind of expect it,” Garcia <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/high-school/wa-transgender-athlete-veronica-garcia-repeats-as-state-track-champion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Seattle Times. “But it maybe didn’t have their intended effect. It made me angry, but not angry as in, I wanted to give up, but angry as in, I’m going to push.&#8221;
“I’m going to put this in the most PG-13 way, I’m just going to say it’s a damn shame they don’t have anything else better to do. I hope they get a life. But oh well. It just shows who they are as people.”
He previously placed near the bottom when he ran for the boys&#8217; team several years ago. In October 2022, Garcia ran in the boys’ 5,000-meter junior varsity race and <a href="https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/meet/209254/results/874400" target="_blank" rel="noopener">placed</a> 164th out of 172.
Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky swimmer whose 2022 loss to trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas helped ignite the battle to keep men out of women’s sports, praised the girl who placed second behind Garcia on Saturday.
&#8220;Congratulations to Lauren Matthew, the real Washington State Champion in the girls&#8217; 400m,&#8221; Gaines posted on X.
In another post, Matthew appeared holding a sign that read “Washington State Track and Field Real Girls 2A 400m Champion.”
In 2007, Washington state became the first state to pass legislation allowing trans-identifying males to participate in women&#8217;s sports. However, state law now conflicts with President Donald Trump&#8217;s executive order banning federal funds for schools that allow males in girls&#8217; sports.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which governs high school sports in the state, still allows trans-identifying students to compete on the team of the opposite sex.
In December, a group of 14 school districts proposed changing the policy to keep males off female teams, but ultimately, no action was taken.
