One Country Just Banned Transgender Athletes From Competing in Women’s Soccer

Men who think they are “transgender women” will no longer be permitted to play on women’s soccer teams in England going forward, the sports governing body said on Thursday. 

Reportedly, The Football Association amended its rules that allowed athletes to compete corresponding to their so-called “gender identity” (via FA):

As the governing body of the national sport, our role is to make football accessible to as many people as possible, operating within the law and international football policy defined by UEFA and FIFA.

Our current policy, which allows transgender women to participate in the women’s game, was based on this principle and supported by expert legal advice.

This is a complex subject, and our position has always been that if there was a material change in law, science, or the operation of the policy in grassroots football then we would review it and change it if necessary.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on the 16 April means that we will be changing our policy. Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women’s football in England, and this policy will be implemented from 1 June 2025.

We understand that this will be difficult for people who simply want to play the game they love in the gender by which they identify, and we are contacting the registered transgender women currently playing to explain the changes and how they can continue to stay involved in the game.

OUTRAGEOUS! Radical Judge RELEASES Alleged Tesla Firebomber From Prison, Citing Suspect’s Multiple Supposed ‘Medical Needs’ Including Access to “Gender-Affirming Care”

An outrageous travesty of justice occurred in Missouri recently that could cause millions of Americans to lose faith in the criminal justice system.

As KSHB reported on Wednesday, a radical judge ordered a deranged leftist credibly accused in federal court of firebombing two Tesla Cybertrucks and charging stations in Kansas City to be released from prison back on April 24.

United States Magistrate Judge Jessica Hedges ruled that it was wrong to hold 19-year-old Owen McIntire behind bars before trial for his alleged crimes after agreeing with the defense’s desperate pleas for mercy.

FOX4 obtained court documents that revealed the defense’s reasons for releasing Owen McIntire from jail. Among the reasons listed are treatment for depression and ‘gender-affirming care.’

Yes, McIntire’s lawyers wanted him freed partly because the suspect wanted to continue his transition toward becoming a ‘female!’ And the judge ruled in their favor!

Education Department Finds University of Pennsylvania Violated Title IX Over Transgender Swimmer

The University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) remains in violation of Title IX regulations lingering from a transgender athlete who won an NCAA women’s swimming title for the school in 2022, and will have 10 days to resolve the issue before the matter is referred to the Department of Justice, federal officials said on April 28.

The announcement was made after the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights sent the notice of noncompliance to UPenn President Larry Jameson.

Jameson was informed that complying with current NCAA regulations and President Donald Trump’s February executive order prohibiting males from competing in women’s sports is not enough to satisfy compliance requirements. As a punitive measure, the federal government is requiring UPenn to relinquish that athlete’s 2022 championship title and issue an apology to the female athletes he defeated.

The Ivy League school is also expected to issue a statement noting that all its athletic programs comply with Title IX.

Title IX is a federal regulation implemented in 1972 that prohibits educational institutions receiving federal funding from engaging in sex discrimination and assures fairness for NCAA women’s sports programs. President Joe Biden, whose administration preceded Trump’s current term, amended it to allow transgender participation in sports, and Trump reversed that under his executive order.

UPenn must also restore to female athletes their rightful records, titles, and honors, “or similar recognition for Division I swimming competitions misappropriated by male athletes competing in female categories.”

California Bill Highlights Epidemic Of Male Rapists Transferring To Women’s Prisons

On April 29, 2025, California lawmakers will decide whether to advance a bill introduced by Sen. Shannon Grove that would prohibit any trans-identifying male prisoners with histories of sex offenses from being housed in women’s prisons. This bill would take a significant bite out of Sen. Scott Wiener’s 2021 law SB132 (also known as the Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act), which currently allows the entrance of trans-identifying male prisoners into women’s prisons. The bill comes amid ongoing concerns about inmate safety.

Amie, then a prisoner at Central California Women’s Facility, still remembers the day Richard Masbruch was transferred to CCWF. Masbruch, who changed his name to Sherri Lashure, was a sadistic sexual predator who held an elderly mother and daughter at gunpoint and tortured the daughter with electric shocks before brutally raping and sodomizing her.

Amie’s hands trembled as word spread throughout the prison. “Sherri” also had infamously self-castrated himself while in a Texas prison. Despite the loss of his male genitals, he is alleged to have raped female prisoners with objects. His presence made the female population extremely fearful and anxious, as many of the prisoners were survivors of sexual violence.

Under the current California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation policy, there are no bright-line rules; the policy simply requires that every inmate request for a transfer must be considered. Any male inmate who self-identifies as female can request a transfer to women’s prison, regardless of his criminal history, his anatomy, or whether he has undergone any so-called “transition” procedures. According to the CDCR, as of April 2025, there are 45 trans-identifying males housed in the women’s prisons, 208 pending transfers, and 898 requesting to be transferred.

Clearly, CDCR anticipated that wanted or unwanted sexual encounters among the “transgender” males and the females would occur when it distributed condoms to women’s prisons. As early as 2023, the California Office of the Inspector General recognized that female prisoners were fearful of the male prisoners. The other forms of abuse perpetrated by the male transferees included “physical violence and demeaning behavior” toward female prisoners.

Nearly two-thirds of women interviewed reported fearing for their safety around some or all of the male transferees, with over one-quarter reporting negative experiences, including sexual assault. The OIG confirmed that some male transferees allegedly forcibly touched female prisoners or forced the females to touch them, which is undeniably sexual assault. Allegations of rape have also materialized. 

In a high-profile case, Tremaine Carroll, a 6-foot-tall male who purports to be a transgender woman, was transferred in 2021 to CCWF, where he impregnated one female prisoner. In 2024 Carroll was accused of raping a female inmate and charged with trying to dissuade a witness to testify. In the rape trial — in an unmitigated affront to the victim — Judge Katherine Rigby has ordered the prosecutor and the alleged victim to refer to Carroll using female pronouns. Carroll’s trial is ongoing.

Carroll has been returned to the male prison and is serving 25 years to life under California’s Three Strikes Law. Ironically prior to the rape charges, the American Civil Liberties Union held Carroll up as the model “safe” transgender prisoner and used him to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of SB132.

That lawsuit, which was filed by Women’s Liberation Front along with Harmeet Dhillon (who is now the assistant attorney general for civil rights), contends that housing male inmates with female inmates constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and discrimination. The six female prisoner-plaintiffs have experienced childhood violence and sexual abuse and now have violent males housed with them. Plaintiff Krystal Gonzalez was allegedly sexually assaulted by a male prisoner who was transferred to the women’s prison based upon his professed belief in his own femininity. When she reported the assault, it was she who was punished. One plaintiff was a victim of sex trafficking at age 13.

Archaeologists Unearth 5,000 Year-Old Tomb That’s Challenging Beliefs About Ancient Society

Buried for five millennia and forgotten beneath what was once a coastal dump, the tomb of a powerful woman from Peru’s ancient Caral civilization has just resurfaced—and it’s rewriting the script on who held status at the dawn of American civilization. This discovery offers fresh insight into a society that may have valued women’s roles far more than history has given credit for.

“This is an important burial because it has elements that correspond to a woman of high status,” archaeologist David Palomino told Reuters. The find was made in Áspero, a site once used as a municipal dump just 112 miles north of Lima, along the Pacific coast. A video of the tomb and women’s findings was shared via @ntc’s Instagram Post.

Far from an ordinary burial, the woman—believed to have died between the ages of 20 and 35—was wrapped with extraordinary care, her body still preserving traces of skin, hair, and even fingernails. She was covered in a mantle woven with blue and brown feathers, possibly from Amazonian macaws, and buried alongside baskets filled with offerings, vases, gourds, and even a toucan’s beak.

Palomino believes the details of the tomb point to more than just individual status—they hint at broader cultural values. “Not only men had an important association in this civilization,” he said, “but this was also complementary with that of women.”

The Caral civilization, active around 3000 B.C., thrived in isolation at the same time as the Egyptian pyramids were rising and Mesopotamia was inventing writing. But unlike those ancient giants, Caral developed without influence from other parts of the world. That makes this discovery all the more fascinating: it suggests gender roles may have been more balanced than previously assumed in one of humanity’s earliest urban experiments.

The site of the tomb—once a forgotten dump—now tells a much older, richer story. And it’s one that might just shift the way we think about power, prestige, and the role of women at the dawn of civilization. The artifacts below were found alongside the burial site at Aspero and serve as physical proof of that the oldest city in the Americas was more advanced than some countries in modern day today.

Report: Thanks To DEI, Most Medical Schools Now Teach Doctors To Damage Patients

Speech First has uncovered records from more than 50 public medical schools across 46 states, revealing that these institutions are training left-wing advocates who prioritize race in treatment, promote gender identities contrary to biology, and downplay obesity’s health risks. As its report shows, under the guise of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), medical schools enforce conformity to leftist ideologies, such as labeling all white men as racists or disconnecting gender from biological sex. It also shows that free speech is on life support, with dissenters of these ideas and practices facing far-reaching consequences. 

Speech First reviewed hundreds of documented reports, including the case of Dr. Norman Wang, who lost his teaching duties for criticizing affirmative action — which the left uses to admit less qualified minorities to meet racial quotas. Speech First’s report also detailed the case of Dr. Allan Josephson, who was fired for questioning pediatric transgender procedures — which the left champions as necessary for affirming so-called “gender identities.”

The hope was that exposing the medical establishment’s intolerance for dissent would incentivize medical schools to restore open discourse. But records unearthed by Speech First reveal they are doubling down, enforcing loyalty to DEI tenets — anti-racism, gender ideology, and, bizarrely, “weight inclusivity,” which claims body weight is not tied to one’s health.

Of the more than 50 schools Speech First investigated, 99 percent mandate anti-racism dogma, branding whites as inherently oppressive and casting physicians as crusaders for historical redress. 

At the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, students must take an “Implicit Bias and Microaggressions” course, which uses a “Wheel of Power/Privilege” to frame white men as society’s ultimate oppressors, a narrative embedded across departments and continuing education credits, priming medical students to see patients through a racial lens, not medical need.

Eighty-nine percent enforce gender ideology, elevating self-proclaimed identities over biology and endorsing irreversible surgeries for children while stifling dissent. 

At the University of Arizona College of Medicine, students are taught that so-called “gender transitioning” in children, starting with social changes like cross-dressing and progressing to puberty-suppressing drugs, is normal, and harassment policies stifle dissent by mandating preferred pronouns. Then there are cases of pure absurdity. At the University of Missouri School of Medicine, an orientation video, “What Doctors Should Know About Gender Identity,” suggests that “a biological male identifying as a woman” may need a gynecological exam.

Thirty percent promote weight inclusivity, framing obesity as oppression and urging students to use euphemisms like “person of larger size” instead of “overweight.”

Meta’s Oversight Board Condemns Free Speech Reforms, Pushes for Continued Censorship Over “Human Rights” Concerns

Welcomed by opponents of the multi-year Big Tech-government censorship collusion in the US, Meta’s decision to abandon its controversial “fact-checking” program is receiving criticism from others.

Among them is Meta’s Oversight Board, which is also unhappy that the company is allowing more freedom to users of its platforms when it comes to discussing issues like gender identity and immigration.

Announcing the changes earlier this year, CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that the “moderation” system in place until that point had produced “too many mistakes and too much censorship.”

The content was flagged, downranked, or removed, as were users if either censorship algorithms or third-party “fact-checkers” decided it contained “misinformation” or “hate speech” – and the criteria for this was heavily biased in favor of the former administration’s agendas.

But looking back at the policy shift announced on January 7, the Board expressed its concern that Meta went about this “hastily, in a departure from the regular procedure, with no public information shared as to what, if any, prior human rights due diligence the company performed.”

The Board decided to put the emphasis on “human rights” rather than free speech, in particular the handling of topics related to LGB and transgender issues.

Meta’s policy now allows users to make allegations about mental illness or abnormality “when based on gender or sexual orientation.” This is essentially explained as a way to allow the discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality that is already happening in society, in political and religious contexts.

But the Board thinks this may result in human rights violations and wants Meta to investigate whether that is happening, and to “update it” on the findings twice a year.

Just how restrictive the rules around these issues have been is illustrated in the two cases the Board was considering – attempts to ban videos expressing views about the participation of transgender persons in sports and their “access” to bathrooms.

Judge rules Scottish schools must provide single-sex lavatories

A judge has ordered that Scottish schools must provide single-sex lavatories for pupils after parents won a legal fight against a council which insisted on installing only gender-neutral facilities.

In a case hailed as the “first of many” in which the rights of women and girls will be upheld following last week’s Supreme Court ruling, Scottish Borders council conceded it had been wrong to flout the law by installing no sex-segregated bathrooms at the new Earlston Primary School.

Lady Ross KC said she would issue a declarator, a court order, making legal obligations on Scottish state schools clear after Sean Stratford and Leigh Hurley brought a judicial review over their concerns around transgender policies at Earlston, where their son Ethan, eight, was a pupil.

Stratford and Hurley had complained about the lack of separate-sex facilities at the replacement school, which recently opened and cost taxpayers £16.6 million, as well as trans inclusion policies around sports days, and potential punishment that their son would face if he “misgendered” other pupils.

Their concerns were dismissed by Kevin Wilson, the head teacher, and later Scottish Borders council, which claimed it did not have to consult with parents about the lavatory policy.

The parents went to court with the support of For Women Scotland, the campaign group which last week won the landmark Supreme Court ruling declaring that for the purposes of UK equalities law, biological men could not become legally female.

On Wednesday morning at the Court of Session, Scotland’s top civil court in Edinburgh, Ruth Crawford KC, representing the council, accepted the terms of the declarator making clear that the bathroom policy had been unlawful.

Colorado parents terrified of ‘totalitarian’ transgenderism bill that could take kids away if they misgender them

Protecting kids proved bipartisan in Colorado as moms reached across the aisle to take a stand against gender ideology legislation threatening custody rights.

Democratic Party lawmakers in Washington, D.C. were hardly alone when it came to advancing the Marxist whims of their alphabet activist supporters. Now, more than two weeks after the Colorado State House took a Sunday to advance gender ideology, a Colorado mother and a California parental rights activist have joined together in an effort to stop so-called “misgendering” and “deadnaming” from breaking families apart.

Monday on Fox News’ “The Faulkner Focus,” Protect Kids Colorado Director Erin Lee and attorney Erin Friday, a lifelong Democrat, joined host Harris Faulkner to decry the “totalitarian” HB 25-1312 which, if signed into law, would give courts cause to take custody from parents who refused to buy into the “preferred” gender identities of their own children.

“This is giving the authority to our state to take our children away if we don’t agree with these gender transitions. And so it’s got huge ramifications for all parents, especially those in custody situations who are fighting with their ex-spouses to stop their children from being medicalized,” said Lee.

“But it opens the door for all parents to potentially have their children forcibly removed by the state if they’re not willing to affirm their child’s mental health distress,” she went on as her social media account promoted Colorado state Rep. Ken deGraaf’s (R) HCR25-1003 which sought to amend the state constitution to protect parents’ rights “to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.”

Ellison: Female Athletes Being Injured by Biological Men Is ‘One Video’

During an interview with Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul on Tuesday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) responded to safety concerns around allowing biological men in women’s sports in light of the Payton McNabb incident and the state’s lawsuit over the Trump administration’s push to keep biological men out of women’s sports by saying that “I’ll leave you and your viewers and other people to discuss what happened in one video.”

Host Amy Hockert asked, “What do you think about people like Riley Gaines…girls and women who we’ve seen, sometimes videos are circulated of a volleyball player who has a ball smashed in her face and is physically harmed? When you see those types of videos, does that play into this at all for you?”

Ellison answered, “I’m really just going to have to go back to what the Minnesota law says. I’ll leave you and your viewers and other people to discuss what happened in one video. But what I have to do is stand on what the law is and uphold the law for all Minnesotans.”
