‘Gender Identity’ Requirements Will Be Discarded In Housing Programs: HUD

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced a new proposed rule on Thursday that seeks to end the use of “gender identity” across all departmental programs, which is intended to “restore biological reality and protect women.”

“Under the proposed guidance, HUD would remove radical definitions of gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender, replacing them with sex across nearly 50 regulations,” HUD said in an April 23 statement.

The department’s Equal Access Rule will be modified to replace the ban on discrimination on the basis of “gender identity” across all Community Planning and Development programs.

HUD intends to define common terms such as mother, father, woman, man, girl, and boy, in a way that is consistent with a person’s sex across the department’s regulations.

“God created two sexes: male and female. The Left’s war on biological reality through radical gender ideology will no longer take precedence over the safety and security of America’s most vulnerable women,” Turner said.

The 2012 Equal Access Rule, titled Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, sought to ensure that HUD’s housing programs would be made available to all individuals and families regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or marital status.

At the time, the rule did not address how transgender identifying and “gender non-conforming” individuals should be accommodated in certain temporary and emergency shelters, and other facilities used for this purpose. In 2016, another final rule was issued on this regulation addressing the matter.

The recent proposal builds on an order issued by the HUD Secretary in February last year that required a stoppage of any pending or future enforcement of the Equal Access Rule.

In a Feb. 13, 2025, statement, Turner said that the department’s actions were in line with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on his first day in office.

Trans substitute teacher, 19, allegedly plotted chilling ‘murder spree’ at a Virginia school

A Virginia transgender substitute teacher was arrested for allegedly plotting a chilling “murder spree” at a local school — and bragging online about having a disturbing hit list.

Hadyn Dollery, 19, was busted on school grounds Monday after posting threatening messages on Discord targeting John Champe High School in Stone Ridge, about 40 miles west of Washington, DC, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and multiple outlets.

Police said a tip on the department’s Safe2Talk app exposed the suspect’s sinister online posts.

The accused would-be attacker allegedly unleashed threats against family and friends on the messaging app, including disturbing talks of a mass killing at the school, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Loudon Times-Mirror.

The warped teen, of Chantilly, also claimed to have a “kill list,’ the complaint said.

Dollery worked as a “non-licensed” substitute teacher for the 2025-26 school year but was later scrubbed from the district’s list after being thrown behind bars, the outlet reported.

The long-haired suspect, seen grinning in their mugshot, was charged with threats of bodily harm and is now being held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, cops said.

Pink-haired transgender lawmaker scolded anyone who dared to use her old ‘deadname’ – now her very embarrassing secret has been revealed

Minnesota‘s first transgender lawmaker has been accruing traffic citations under her former name despite being an outspoken critic of anyone who dared to call her that, court records revealed.

Democrat Representative Leigh Finke, 44, has shamed anyone who practices ‘deadnaming,’ or referring to a transgender or non-binary person by their birth name without consent.

In one instance, she wrote on Facebook that using a trans person’s deadname is an ‘expression of hate toward transgender people.’

In 2023, she told Fox 9, ‘It’s impossible to take seriously the idea that we are speaking out of turn at a time when our rights are being taken away; our lives are being belittled, mocked, dehumanized constantly. 

‘Across the nation in state legislatures, in the capitol, now in DC, we are just hearing constant misgendering, deadnaming, humiliating language.’ 

Finke legally changed her name and sex in July 2020, court records viewed by the Daily Mail show.

She changed her name from Christopher Leigh Finke to Leigh Dawn Finke, and her sex from male to female. 

However, court records also show that Finke has received at least three traffic tickets under her ‘deadname’ between 2023 and 2025.

Deranged ‘Transgender’ Student at University of Michigan Tells Right-Wing Comedian Alex Stein to ‘Watch Out for a Hole in the Neck!’ During TPUSA Campus Event

An unhinged student at the University of Michigan, who is allegedly transgender, was caught on video making a death threat against conservative comedian Alex Stein, telling him to “watch out for a hole in the neck” in an obvious reference to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, during a Turning Point USA campus event.

The threat took place during a Turning Point USA “Pick Up the Mic” free speech event earlier this month, modeled after Kirk’s famous campus discussions.

In the video posted by Stein on X on Tuesday, the student engaged Stein on topics including affirmative action, DEI policies, and meritocracy.

After the exchange, as the student walked away, he delivered the ominous line, “Watch out for a hole in the neck.”

The comment is a clear reference to Kirk, who was assassinated in September by a gunman who shot him in the neck.

Tyler Robinson, 23, has been arrested and charged with the shooting. He was living with his transgender furry boyfriend at the time of the murder.

The threat was made in front of a crowd of students with security present, yet the individual simply walked off without consequences.

The University of Michigan student newspaper, The Michigan Daily, covered the event but focused its outrage on Stein, accusing him of making “racist remarks” during the debates, while barely addressing the student’s explicit threat.

The paper described the comment as an “allusion to the killing of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk” but downplayed any real concern, noting the student “walked away from Stein without confronting any TPUSA event staffers or police officers.”

Supreme Court Rejects Massachusetts Case Over Hiding Student’s Gender Identity

Supreme Court justices on April 20 declined to take up a case involving a Massachusetts schoolgirl whose parents say officials wrongly hid their daughter’s purported identity as a male from them.

At least six of the nine justices declined to accept a petition to rehear a lower court verdict in the case, which was brought by the girl’s parents in 2022 against the Ludlow, Massachusetts, school district.

The vote count on the petition and how each justice voted were not disclosed, nor were any comments offered by the justices.

“Today’s denial by the Supreme Court is a missed opportunity to defend parental rights,” Jim Campbell, chief legal counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, who was helping represent the parents, told The Epoch Times in an email.

“Social transition, including going by inaccurate or nonbinary pronouns and a different name, is a major intervention in a child’s life that puts the child on a difficult-to-escape pathway to medicalized transition, carrying the risk of life-altering damage. No school district should make important mental health decisions on behalf of parents and conceal those decisions from them, especially in opposition to the mental-health care that those parents have chosen for their children.”

An attorney representing the school officials did not return a request for comment by publication time.

DEI Over Duty: How the Secret Service Put Identity Politics Above Operational Competence

The United States Secret Service was built on one standard: keep the president alive. That standard was forged after the 1901 assassination of William McKinley through grueling weapons qualifications, obstacle courses, and psychological evaluations calibrated to eliminate anyone who might hesitate when lives were on the line. The underlying logic was simple: in a protective detail, the only relevant variable is demonstrable competence. Everything else is noise. The Biden administration decided to run a different experiment, and the record since 2024 is the result.

In 2023, then-Director Kimberly Cheatle publicly committed to the 30×30 Initiative, targeting women at 30 percent of Secret Service recruits by 2030. The agency’s strategic plan called it “excellence through talent, technology, and diversity.” Once you add demographic targets to any hiring rubric for a life-safety role, you have changed the rubric. Competence and representation are not the same variable. Mistaking one for the other carries operational consequences, not administrative ones.

On July 13, 2024, Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed a rooftop 130 yards from the stage where former President Trump was speaking and fired. The shot grazed Trump’s ear, killed retired fire chief Corey Comperatore, and wounded two others. Site agent Myosoty “Miyo” Perez was responsible for security and failed to place any asset on the rooftop despite its direct line of sight to the stage. Six agents received suspensions of 10 to 42 days. Not a single one was fired.

By March 2026, Perez had collected three suspensions in 18 months. The latest came after she secretly married a Brazilian foreign national in April 2025 and withheld the marriage from the agency until January 2026, a nine-month gap that violated mandatory clearance protocols. The agency issued a “Do Not Admit” notice and opened an investigation into whether her spouse had overstayed a visa. My family has a history of military service, and a clearance disclosure failure of that kind was a career-ending event. Standards were non-negotiable precisely because the consequences were not hypothetical.

DEI? UC Berkeley Sociology Department Chooses Transgender Activist As Commencement Speaker

The University of California, Berkeley’s Department of Sociology will host Alex Hanna, a transgender activist and AI researcher, as its Commencement speaker, according to a report from Campus Reform.

According to the department’s announcement, Hanna’s work as the director of research at the Distributed AI Research Institute focuses on how AI technologies “exacerbate racial, gender, and class inequality through their data practices and effects on labor.”

This is sadly typical for Berkeley, which consistently promotes DEI and Cultural Marxism.

This speaker calls himself transgender despite the fact that he is a biological male.

“In 2021, Hanna co-founded the “Alex and Demiana Hanna Pride Scholarship” at the University of Wisconsin at Madison Department of Sociology for active “LGBTQ” advocates.”

“The scholarship awards $2,000 to a sociology major who is actively committed to and engaged in activities that advocate for and support the LGBTQ community.”

In other words, this is pure DEI, something which is un-American and unpopular.

Arraignment set for transgender woman in decade-old murder of 13-year-old

An arraignment hearing for a person accused of killing a 13-year-old boy nearly a decade ago will be held later this month.

That’s the result of a very brief hearing in Tazewell County Circuit Court where Keith A. Brackett made an initial appearance on the murder allegations.

Brackett, 48, wasn’t in the courtroom, rather appearing via video conference from the county jail. Brackett was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with strangling and then hiding the body of Robert “Bonzai” Bee in a wooded area off Illinois Route 29.

During the initial appearance, Brackett requested the court address her as a woman.

The charges — murder and concealment of a homicidal death — allege that Brackett asphyxiated the boy and then hid his remains in a wooded area of property he was maintaining.

Brackett, who was recently paroled from the Illinois Department of Corrections, was arrested Wednesday morning and served with the warrants.

The first-degree murder charges carry a possible 20 to 60-year prison term. The concealment of a homicide carries a possible 10-year prison term.

Prosecutors have asked Presiding Judge Chris Doscotch to order Brackett held pending the outcome of the allegations. However, Public Defender Luke Taylor said his office wasn’t ready to proceed on that hearing on Thursday.

Taylor said there were around 4,000 pages of discovery—evidence—that would be delivered to his office after the hearing.

As such, Taylor said his office would allow Brackett to concede detention without prejudice, meaning she could come back at another time and ask to be released. That’s an important legal distinction. Once a detention is ordered, a person can only contest it if new evidence is presented.

SPAIN: Prolific Serial Killer Transitions While Serving 127-Year Sentence, Is Now Being Held In A Women’s Unit

One of Spain’s most prolific serial killers is now being held in a women’s correctional unit after beginning to identify as transgender while behind bars. Joan Vila Dilmé, also known as the Olot nursing home killer, is reportedly now going by the name “Aida.”

Vila, 60, was sentenced to 127 years in prison in 2013 for the murders of 11 elderly residents at the care home he worked at.

Dubbed “the angel of death” by Spanish media, Vila was arrested following the death of an 85-year-old resident at the La Caritat nursing home in the northeastern Catalan town of Olot. Medical staff determined that the woman had died after ingesting a corrosive substance, prompting authorities to classify the case as suspicious.

Police soon identified Vila, a caregiver at the facility, as a person of interest after establishing that he had been present at the time of the woman’s death. During questioning, he confessed to the killing, admitting that he had forced her to drink a corrosive substance.

Although Vila initially confessed to just three murders, a subsequent investigation revealed a far more extensive pattern of abuse. Authorities ultimately linked him to at least 11 deaths at the nursing home—nine women and two men. The victims, all of whom were between 80 and 90 years of age, were identified as:

  • Rosa Barbures Pujol
  • Francisca Matilde Fiol
  • Teresa Puig Boixadera
  • Isidra García Aseijas
  • Carme Vilanova Viñolas
  • Lluís Salleras Claret
  • Joan Canal Julià
  • Montserrat Canalias Muntada
  • Sabina Masllorens i Sala
  • Montserrat Guillamet Bartolich
  • Paquita Gironès i Quintana

The murders were carried out between August of 2009 and October of 2010.

Investigators determined that Vila had evaded detection for an extended period by initially employing methods that were difficult to trace. In early cases, he administered cocktails of barbiturates and other drugs mixed with water, or delivered high doses of insulin intravenously to diabetic patients. These methods often led to the deaths being mistakenly classified as natural or medical.

By September of 2010, colleagues began noticing a marked shift in Vila behavior. He reportedly became increasingly aggressive and expressed frustration with caring for elderly residents, stating that he wanted to leave his job. Following one of his later killings, he allegedly compelled a co-worker to remain in the victim’s room and watch over the body.

The final series of murders occurred within a five-day span between October 12 and 17, 2010. During this period, Vila killed Sabina Masllorens i Sala, Montserrat Guillamet Bartolich and Paquita Gironès i Quintana. In these cases, he abandoned earlier methods and instead forced victims to ingest bleach or injected corrosive substances directly into their mouths.

California Provides Sex-Change Procedures to Homeless Illegal Aliens

Last month, we received a report from a whistleblower who claimed that illegal aliens were staying in San Francisco’s homeless shelters. Following up on the tip, we visited numerous publicly funded shelters in San Francisco, and spoke to employees and residents about their policies, sometimes through a translator.

We discovered not only that the shelters were housing illegal immigrants but also that they were apparently housing a population of male-to-female “transgender” illegal aliens, who had hoped to obtain “gender-affirming care.” And, to our shock, state and local governments apparently are providing it.

St. Vincent De Paul’s MSC-South facility is San Francisco’s largest homeless shelter, and, in 2024, signed a $66 million service contract with the city. After we arrived at the front entrance, an employee wearing a do-rag and a light green polo shirt showed us around and confirmed that illegal aliens were living there.

“You got a few people here from El Salvador. . . . You got a few people here from Venezuela. You got a few people here from a little bit of everywhere,” he said.

As a rule, he suggested, management instructed employees to refuse cooperation with federal immigration authorities. “When the ICE thing was going around, we all had a meeting, and they told us, ‘We ain’t letting them in.’”

Among the shelter’s residents was a group of Hondurans who identified as transgender. During our visit to MSC-South, whose executive director did not respond to a request for comment, we spoke with two Honduran men, “Lyca” and “Alondra,” who identified as transgender women. Both indicated that the local government gave them shelter and food.

Lyca, who wore long hair and red lipstick, was candid about this arrangement. He confirmed that he was an illegal immigrant and that the shelter doesn’t ask questions about immigration status. “Tengo Medi-Cal,” he said, referring to the state health-care program, which, under Governor Gavin Newsom, began providing “full scope” coverage to illegal aliens, which includes transgender procedures, or “gender affirming care.” He said he was receiving cross-sex hormone therapy—and bore the physical signs of having done so.

Alondra, a muscular man in a camouflage shirt and dyed hair tied behind his head, said he had been in the United States after claiming asylum. According to the translator, the city government had offered to pay first and second month’s rent on private apartments for him and Lyca. But neither accepted the offer—in Lyca’s case, because he might not be able to pay for the apartment after the second month.
