Big Tranny

Photographer and University of Pennsylvania graduate Erica Denhoff was shocked to see her work significantly altered on the Today show last week, adding that at first, she thought “something was honestly wrong with the video.” She said she was “disappointed” by the show’s choice and that “I pride myself on providing authentic images as a photojournalist.”

The NHS is in denial about the dangers of ‘trans inclusive’ wards.

There are times when ‘I told you so’ seems glib, when you don’t want to be proved right. What follows is one such example.

In August last year, I wrote for spiked about the need for single-sex hospital wards. I ended the piece with a question: ‘How many female patients will be placed in danger before the NHS realises that sex still matters?’ What I didn’t know when the piece was published was that there was already one woman who had been raped on a single-sex hospital ward. And to comply with NHS guidelines, her male attacker had been accommodated in line with his gender identity as a transwoman.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, pointed out on Twitter that “Rachel Levine is a man” — and was subsequently flagged for “hateful conduct” by the social media giant.

ATLANTA — Felipe Delgado is one of the only parents willing to go on the record and share how he feels about a biological male competing against his daughter.

“I just feel that somebody has got to come out and say something,” he said in a Friday evening interview with The Daily Wire, “but we cannot do this argument with hate. We have to do it in a conversational tone, welcoming dialogue, because that’s the only way things are really going to get resolved.”

It’s hard to think of an area of medicine more controversial today than the treatment of gender dysphoria in youth. Proponents and opponents of the new “affirming” paradigm of treatment routinely accuse each other of politicizing medicine, promoting dangerous ideologies, and abusing vulnerable children.

In the United States, civil rights discourse has come to overlay—some would say distort—these debates. In 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch likened North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” to the “dark days” of Jim Crow, when states “had signs above restrooms, water fountains and on public accommodations keeping people out based upon a distinction without a difference.”

No, it was not an 83-year-old woman who killed Susan Leyden. Stop lying to us.

For a solid five minutes this week, I believed that an elderly woman in New York City had killed and decapitated another elderly woman. I believed it because it was in the papers. It was there in black and white. In the apartment of this ‘83-year-old Brooklyn woman’, the New York Times reported, cops found the decapitated head of Susan Leyden, a 68-year-old lady who had gone missing. Police became suspicious of the 83-year-old woman and so they ‘searched her apartment’, the BBC said, wherein they found ‘a human head’. A few days later, not far from this seemingly evil woman’s apartment, they also found Ms Leyden’s leg and torso. Grim. And surely unprecedented. When was the last time a very old woman was alleged to have killed and then gruesomely dismembered another woman?

First Loudoun, now Alexandria, and parents in Virginia have to wonder where else. National Review’s Inez Stepman used FOIA requests and personal testimony to dig into yet another cover-up of a sexual assault on a high-school campus. Parents are only now discovering this gang-rape of a 14-year-old girl at Minnie Howard High School last October, and now feel “misled, angry, [and] scared” over the silence of school administrators…

Trans swimmer Lia Thomas, 22, blows away competition to win 500 yard freestyle at NCAA championships – but crowd goes wild for SECOND place winner on podium: Thomas says she ‘ignores’ criticism in post-victory interview

‘It means the world to be here, to be with two of my best friend and teammates and be able to compete.’

Thomas, whose continued wins and record-breaking performances have made her the world’s most controversial athlete, also roundly defeated fellow swimmers at last month’s Ivy League championships.

The Texan, who swam for three years on the university’s men’s team before transitioning in 2019, is now the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA championship – a distinction one of Thomas’ teammates said would be dubious if achieved.

Roman Catholic Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said, “To a great extent, the level of civilization can be measured based on the level of its womanhood” — which is bad news for much of the Western world, because in 2021 it would appear all of our best “women” are actually biological men.

As civilization goes to hell in a hand basket, it is difficult to keep track of all the latest leftist absurdities foisted upon the average citizen.

JK Rowling sent a stern warning to politicians on Saturday, saying women are “outraged and angry” over the radical transgender lobby threatening their rights and safety.

Rowling warned politicians from Britain’s political parties that British women will no longer allow them to “threaten and intimidate them out of speaking publicly about their own rights”.
