Former UPenn Athletes Sue To Expunge Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas’ Records

Three former swimmers for the University of Pennsylvania have sued the Ivy League college to expunge the records of transgender athlete Lia Thomas.

Alums Grace Estabrook, Margot Kaczorowski and Ellen Holmquist filed the suit on Tuesday, alleging they suffered emotional trauma after Thomas competed as a woman, destroying everything they’d worked their entire lives to achieve. The lawsuit was filed one day before President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning biological men from competing in women’s sports, the Fox News reports.

The three actual women claim that their former school, along with Harvard University, the NCAA, and the Ivy League Council of Presidents subjected them to harassment and abuse in violation of federal laws by allowing Thomas to compete on their team.

“The UPenn administrators told the women that if anyone was struggling with accepting Thomas’ participation on the UPenn Women’s team, they should seek counseling and support from CAPS and the LBGTQ center,” reads the lawsuit.

2004 grads Kaczorowski and Holmquist, and Estabrook, a 2022 graduate, say they were “repeatedly emotionally traumatized” after Thomas was allowed to compete with them in violation of Title IX, and say that school officials pushed pro-trans ideology on them the entire time Thomas was on the team.

They also allege that school administrators invited them to a talk titled “Trans 101,” where they were the problem if they had issues with a “trans-identifying male” on their team.

School officials also allegedly warned them against speaking out about Thomas or they’d be labeled transphobes and risk not finding jobs upon graduation.

BEAUTIFUL! President Trump Signs Executive Order Protecting Women’s Sports Surrounded by Little Girls

President Donald Trump signed a landmark executive order on Wednesday, ensuring that biological men cannot compete in women’s sports.

The signing ceremony, held at the White House, featured President Trump surrounded by young female athletes, symbolizing the administration’s commitment to safeguarding opportunities for women and girls in sports.

“Under the Trump administration, we will defend the proud tradition of female athletes, and we will not allow men to beat up, injure, and cheat our women and our girls. From now on, women’s sports will be ONLY FOR WOMEN!” Trump said during the signing ceremony.

The executive order directs the Department of Education to enforce Title IX based on biological sex, threatening to withhold federal funding from educational institutions that allow transgender women to compete in women’s sports. In the event that the Department of Education is dismantled, other agencies will take over.

“We are putting every school receiving taxpayer dollars on notice: If you let men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated for violations of Title IX and risk your federal funding,” said Trump.

It also instructs the Department of Homeland Security to review visa applications to prevent individuals assigned male at birth from entering the U.S. to compete in women’s sports.

Additionally, the order mandates that the State Department advocate for changes within the International Olympic Committee to exclude transgender athletes from women’s events.

Letitia James Orders NY Hospitals to Continue Trans Surgeries on Minors

Democrats are sending a message: election or no election, executive orders or no executive orders, reality or fantasy: “This is our world, and you might be welcome to live in it, so long as you toe the line.” Make no mistake, they may have lost the White House, House, and Senate and elected David Hogg as the DNC vice chair, but they are digging in and remaining intransigent while they plot their return to power. And they aren’t content to merely lose their minds over confirmation hearings or the fact that the party is over at USAID. 

The AP reported that on Monday, New York Attorney General Letitia James sent a stern warning to the state’s hospitals. The warning came in a letter to the hospitals that despite Trump’s executive order to halt funding for transitioning treatments for minors, hospitals that did not continue what the Left refers to as “gender-affirming care” would be in violation of New York’s anti-discrimination laws. James commented, “Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws.” The outlet noted that hospitals in Colorado, Virginia, and Washington D.C. had hit the pause button on the procedures while they evaluated the order.

Outgoing DNC Chair Unveils Democrat Party’s Rules for Leadership Positions – And It Will Make Your Head Spin

The Democrats still don’t understand why they lost.

The Democrat Party voted for a new DNC Chairman on Saturday after

Outgoing DNC Chair Jaime Harrison laid out the ground rules for leadership positions and he even confused himself.

“Because of our gender balance provisions on this next ballot, you will be able to vote for two candidates of any gender on the next ballot,” Jaime Harrison said. “Okay, so on this next ballot, you will be able to vote for two candidates of any gender on the next ballot.”

“The rules specify that when we have a gender non-binary candidate or officer, the non-binary individual is counted as neither male nor female and the remaining six offices must be gender balanced. With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and two female,” Jaime Harrison said.

He continued, “In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female and one person of any gender. So again, this is what we have to do for this vice chair race. To ensure our process accounts for male, female and non-binary candidates, we conferred with our RBC Co-Chair, our LBGT Caucus Co-Chair and others to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in our rules.”

“After a candidate is elected on the first ballot, we’ll have one officer of the three so then we will know which position is filled of the one male, one female, and one Vice Chair of any gender. Our second ballot will also be for any candidate of any gender,” Jaime Harrison said.

Trump Is “Dangerous” & Racist To Keep Men Out Of Women’s Prisons, Professor Says

President Donald Trump’s executive order to keep men who claim to be women out of female prisons is “dangerous” and hints of racism, according to an anthropologist.

Kate Clancy, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, analyzed the president’s directive that the federal government define sex on biological terms.

He also said prisons should not house men who claim to be transgender with women. The administration has also frozen people from requesting an “X” gender marker, for “nonbinary,” on their passports.

The order is “stupid” and “dangerous,” Clancy told LGBTQ Nation. Clancy disputed the idea that sex is biologically determinable. However, biology experts have affirmed there are only two sexes and it is not possible to change one’s sex.

“I think Trump, in whatever terrible language is available to him, is trying to control women and control people he perceives to be in the woman category,” Clancy told the news outlet.

“A lot of this is keeping the category of women pure—and also, obviously, about doing immense harm to trans people.”

But she also finds a racial element in the executive order.

She stated:

There’s also a very racial, white supremacist thing going on here with this “defending women.”

It’s a very old idea—it appears in travelogs, early writings of Europeans, as well as in the United States when they started encountering North American indigenous folks, and the way that they thought about enslaved peoples.

There was this belief that in the “lower races,” men and women were less different and that in the “higher races,” there were more differences between women and men.

This was about saying men and women are differentiated, clear, non-overlapping categories because that makes us a more evolved people.

Clancy also said “sex is also socially constructed.”

LEAKED AUDIO: Tucson High School Teacher Defies Trump’s Executive Order, Misleads Students by Teaching There Are More Than Two Genders

Leaked Audio: Les Beard, a Tucson high school physics teacher defied Trump’s executive order and misled his students by teaching there are more than two genders.

Why is a physics teacher talking to his students about biology?

Per Trump’s executive order on two genders:

It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.  These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.  Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy:

(a)  “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.  “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

(b)  “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.

(c)  “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.

(d)  “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e)  “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

(f)  “Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true.  Gender ideology includes the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from one’s sex.  Gender ideology is internally inconsistent, in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body.

(g)  “Gender identity” reflects a fully internal and subjective sense of self, disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an infinite continuum, that does not provide a meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex.

Les Beard mocked Trump during one of his lectures.

Trump Signs Executive Order Protecting Children from ‘Chemical & Surgical Mutilation’

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order Tuesday cutting federal support for radical gender procedures for people under age 19.

“Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding,” the White House announcement reads.

“Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization.”

“Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”

‘X’ Sex Marker On US Passports SCRAPPED, Outstanding Applications Suspended

The State Department has scrapped the third sex option, X, on passport application forms, declaring that there are only two recognisable sexes.

New Secretary of State Marco Rubio has directed the Department to remove the option, an internal State Department cable obtained by The Guardian revealed.

In the communication, Rubio noted “The policy of the United States is that an individual’s sex is not changeable.”

The directive outlines that “sex, and not gender, shall be used” on official documents, including passports and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad.

State Department staff were also ordered to “suspend any application where the applicant is seeking to change their sex marker” from the definition provided under President Trump’s executive order mandating that government-issued identification must reflect “an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.”

Trump’s order, titled, “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” also states that it is “fundamental and incontrovertible reality” that only two sexes exist.

Trump Restores Single-Sex Jails, Transgender Inmates Sent Back to Men’s Prisons

President Donald Trump has restored single-sex prisons, sending male inmates who identify as women back to men’s facilities.

The approximately 1,500 male federal prisoners who identify as women will now be sent to men’s facilities in the wake of President Trump’s executive order establishing single-sex prisons, according to a report by the New York Times.

President Trump’s executive order, titled, “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” also ends transgender-related medical procedures for prison inmates.

The Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), a feminist organization that advocates for single-sex prisons and raises awareness about incarcerated women becoming victims of male violence, called President Trump’s move “a major victory.”

Currently, WoLF is working to combat California legislation that allows inmates to request facilities that align with their identity, rather than their actual biological sex.

The feminist organization asserts that the law violates incarcerated women’s constitutional rights, citing the Eighth Amendment, which protects people from cruel and unusual punishment.

President Trump’s executive order echoed those sentiments, declaring, “efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being.”

Judge Dismisses Charges Against Hero Texas Doctor Who Blew the Whistle on Sex Change Program at Texas Children’s Hospital After Trump DOJ Intervenes

The Trump Administration filed a motion to dismiss charges against Dr. Ethan Haim, the hero surgeon who blew the whistle on a sex change program at the Texas Children’s Hospital.

A few hours later, a federal judge dismissed the charges with prejudice.

As previously reported, Biden’s corrupt Justice Department indicted a Texas surgeon who blew the whistle on a sex-change program at the Texas Children’s Hospital.

In May 2023, Dr. Eithan Haim leaked the sex change documents to investigative reporter Christopher Rufo. Dr. Haim was careful not to disclose any patient information but the Biden DOJ indicted him on four felony counts related to HIPAA violations.

One day after Dr. Haim exposed the Texas Children’s Hospital, the Texas state legislature voted to ban transgender medical treatment and procedures on minors.
