The Wall Street Journal published a live update that falsely claimed ammunition found at a shooting was engraved with “transgender ideology,” which was later proven inaccurate. This initial reporting was swiftly contradicted by other news outlets and officials who reported different findings about the ammunition’s markings. The author questions the Journal’s decision to publish this unverified information, particularly given the history of false accusations against the trans community and the context of blaming the left for the shooting. The author suggests this incident reflects a bias, as the Journal, owned by Rupert Murdoch, appeared to promote the Republican party line.

Nancy Mace says the Charlie Kirk shooter was “a tr***y” & makes shooting all about herself.
It’s hard to know where to start, but let’s just dive right in. The initial reaction to the shooting of Charlie Kirk was, frankly, predictable. Nancy Mace, in what has become a recurring pattern, seemed more focused on scoring political points and pushing her agenda than on offering genuine concern or seeking the truth. The comments and observations about her actions are, to be blunt, overwhelmingly critical, and with good reason. The claim that the shooter was transgender, a slur in itself, was immediately and unequivocally proven wrong.… Continue reading
Nancy Mace yells at Sara Jacobs over “boob jobs is gender-affirming care” comment, and the whole situation is a perfect storm of political drama, personal jabs, and some genuinely thought-provoking questions about what we consider “gender-affirming care.” It seems like the core issue boils down to a disagreement about whether certain procedures and treatments should be categorized in this way, and, of course, a hefty dose of personal animosity between the two congresswomen.
Mace’s reaction appears to be one of outrage, with reports of her yelling at Jacobs for making comments about “my body.” The initial trigger seems to be Jacobs’ comment about “boob jobs” being gender-affirming care.… Continue reading
The National Rifle Association (NRA) announced its opposition to any potential Justice Department rule that would ban transgender people from owning firearms, deeming it a violation of Second Amendment rights. This response follows reports that the Justice Department is considering using its authority to classify transgender individuals as mentally ill, thus restricting their gun ownership. The NRA maintains it will not support policies that arbitrarily remove gun rights from law-abiding citizens without due process. The discussions within the Justice Department are preliminary, but they have already sparked criticism from civil rights and gun advocacy groups.

The U.S. Education Department has declared that Denver Public Schools breached Title IX regulations by establishing all-gender bathrooms and allowing students to use bathrooms aligned with their gender identity, a decision that stems from an investigation at East High School. As a result, the department is demanding the district revert multi-stall, all-gender restrooms back to gender-specific ones, within 10 days or face enforcement actions, along with using biology-based definitions for gender in its policies. This probe is part of the Trump administration’s broader push against policies accommodating transgender students, with numerous similar investigations targeting school districts nationwide regarding bathroom access and sports participation. Denver Public Schools officials are currently assessing their next steps in response to the department’s findings.

Following a school shooting at Annunciation School in Minneapolis, which resulted in the deaths of two children and injuries to 17 others, authorities identified the shooter as Robin Westman.

Supporters brought up the culture war, however, law enforcement stated the bill would not improve safety.

World Athletics has implemented a new policy requiring athletes to pass a one-time gene test to compete in the female category at world-ranking competitions. This test for the SRY gene, which can be conducted through a cheek swab or blood test, will be overseen by member federations and is meant to ensure that only biologically female athletes compete. This rule comes into effect on September 1st, aiming to create a level playing field, as gender cannot trump biology. This follows years of debate over eligibility criteria, with the new regulations addressing concerns about biological advantages and building on recommendations made by a working group.

The GOP’s recent decision to erase all mentions of bisexual individuals from the Stonewall National Monument webpages is, frankly, not a surprise. It’s a stark example of what many of us, particularly within the transgender community, have been warning about for quite some time. The removal of bisexual representation, coming on the heels of the erasure of transgender people, is a clear indication that these attacks are part of a broader strategy. The goal, as has been repeatedly stated, is to shrink the scope of who is considered worthy of belonging, visibility, and remembrance.
The initial removal of transgender people from the monument’s historical narrative was a warning sign.… Continue reading
The Turkish Health Ministry has implemented new restrictions on hormone medications used in gender-affirming care, specifically targeting individuals under the age of 21. The directive, issued through the Medicines and Medical Devices Agency, cites the government’s “Year of the Family” campaign and the protection of “cultural and moral values” as justification. The restricted medications include testosterone-based drugs, GnRH analogues, and high-dose estrogen products, although they remain accessible for other medical conditions. This policy change follows an earlier restriction and aligns Turkey with other countries limiting access to hormone replacement therapy, raising concerns among experts about the potential impact on the physical and mental well-being of transgender individuals.
