Obama White House “Champion of Change” Who Campaigned Against Violence Toward Women Charged With Allegedly Beating and Stalking Girlfriend

An attorney celebrated by the Obama White House for campaigning against violence toward women is now facing nine criminal charges over an alleged yearlong campaign of abuse and intimidation against his girlfriend.

You cannot make this up.

Cody McDavis, 32, the 6-foot-8 former University of Northern Colorado basketball standout who later earned a law degree from UCLA and joined the firm Vedder Price, was charged on July 20 with six felony counts and three misdemeanors.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles County Superior Court allege he “willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly” followed and harassed his girlfriend from July 2025 through June 2026, leaving her in fear for her safety and that of her family, according to the criminal complaint reviewed by the New York Post.

The charges include three felony counts of inflicting corporal injury, two for stalking, one for attempting to prevent her from pursuing prosecution, and three misdemeanor counts of violating a protective order.

Recommended bail is $550,000. He is scheduled to be arraigned September 2.

This is the same Cody McDavis who was celebrated by the Obama-Biden White House as a “Champion of Change” for his work on the “It’s On Us” campaign, the Obama administration’s signature effort to combat sexual assault on college campuses.

Children’s Hospitals To Begin Offering Restorative Care For Detransitioners

When Texas Children’s Hospital’s “detransition clinic” opens in Houston, it will become the first facility of its kind, giving patients who regret life-altering procedures a chance at restorative care.

The facility, which has yet to announce an opening date, is part of an agreement with state and federal authorities to halt “gender-affirming care” at children’s hospitals while offering help to those who transitioned medically.

A 10-page settlement term sheet, recently obtained by The Epoch Times through an open records request to the Texas attorney general’s office, showed that services at the clinic will focus on multidisciplinary care.

Services are to include endocrinology, surgery, fertility counseling, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and speech pathology, among others.

In May and June, the Department of Justice (DOJ), along with the attorneys general of Texas and Ohio, secured settlements with large hospitals over allegations of fraudulent insurance billing practices related to “gender-affirming care” for children.

The hospitals denied wrongdoing in their billing practices or standards of care.

These agreements require the hospitals not only to cease transitioning procedures, but also to offer discounted or free restorative medical care to detransitioners.

Attorneys representing detransitioners and their clients praised the efforts of the DOJ and the states to assist those suffering from the consequences of life-altering medical changes.

Detransitioners are those who stopped or reversed a medical gender transition they started earlier in life.

Author JK Rowling Drops the Mask on Trans Orthodoxy

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has faced constant attacks for standing up for women.  Some of those attacks have come from woke actors who launched their careers, raking in millions of dollars, starring in the Harry Potter franchise.

J.K. Rowling has long been a target of extreme hate and frequent death threats from trans activists and the woke mob for her unwavering belief that men cannot become women.

The Gateway Pundit has reported on the transgender community and their allies directing their rage against Rowling for the sin of expressing her personal opinions on transgender issues.

She took a public stand supporting researcher Maya Forstater after Forstater was let go from her job for making comments labeled as “transphobic.”  Social Justice Warriors branded Rowling a “TERF,” which stands for “trans-exclusionary radical feminist,” for doing so.

She triggered the SJWs again for daring to “misgender” the person behind a Twitter account allegedly tied to Luis Morales, also known as Synthia China Blast, convicted of murdering a 13-year-old child.

Trantifa’s attacks against Rowling have included threats of violence, including calling for her death by hanging.

On Saturday, Rowling pointed out the absurdity of what the trans community is expecting women and girls to confront in what should be safe spaces.

Deranged Golden State Valkyries Coach Says “I’m All About Little Girls Deserving to Play” But Men Should be Allowed in the Women’s Basketball League

Golden State Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase broke her silence on biological male transgenders competing in women’s sports, and she suggested that transgender athletes are “deserving” of playing in women’s leagues. 

This comes amid the controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham recently saying she wants to “protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

Since Cunningham’s remarks, three coaches, including Cunningham’s own coach, the Indiana Fever’s Stephanie White, have broken their silence, refusing to stand up to the transgender insanity threatening women’s sports.

Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve even protested Cunningham during a game against the Fever on Sunday, where she wore a “Trans Kids Belong” t-shirt in a petty attempt to own critics of men in women’s sports.

When asked about the controversy and the apparent feud between Cunningham and Reeve on Monday, Nakase said she supports “inclusivity,” alleging in her own experiences of exclusion as a 5’2″ Japanese woman. How would she like to play against seven-foot-tall men?

“I think just in terms of how I’m seeing it is, if I could answer, with like for me, sports, sports is about belonging. It’s about inclusivity. It’s about allowing everyone to be their authentic self,” Nakase told reporters.

“You know, I’m big on that just because I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity. I’ve been in those ‘you shouldn’t belong here’ many times. And for me, I don’t want that space, especially Golden State, to ever feel like that.”

She then ironically said, “I’m all about women, little girls deserving to play,” before throwing in, “and that includes trans women.”

“So I’m all about inclusivity,” she added.

Disturbing Video From Radical Non-Profit Group Shares Efforts to Introctrinate Children and “Catch Kids When They’re Starting Puberty” Along with Efforts to Intentionally Go ‘Into Younger and Younger Grades’

A disturbing video from the radical non-profit organization HiTOPS reveals their goal to indoctrinate young children by focusing on students in grades 5-8, to “catch kids when they’re starting puberty.”

According to its website, HITOPS seeks to foster “strong and healthy young people of all identities by providing inclusive and youth-informed sex education and LGBTQ+ support for young people.”

Moreover, they seek to create a world “where young people are able to flourish because they are at home in their bodies, supported in the development of their sexual and gender identity, and equipped with an understanding of how to have safe, consensual, and healthy relationships.”

In a video shared on X by Gays Against Groomers, the Director of Education for the organization, Stacy Robustelli, shared, “The most critical time to be there is grades 5 through 8 because you want to catch kids when they’re starting puberty because that’s the time in which identity formation is central to their lives.”

“However, early intervention is key. So we actually are designing a kindergarten through grade 2 curriculum this summer.”

“And I will tell you, one of the most rewarding experiences, Nikki, uh, we were in a local school system in an elementary school and, uh, we were in grades 3, 4, and 5. And after we were there, um, 5 students went to the principal’s office and came out.”

“So we are really intentionally going into younger and younger grades.”

Transgender TV star arrested on child molestation and sodomy charges, mom ‘blindsided’

Reality TV star Sidney Starr, a transgender whose real name is Sidney Favors, was arrested Sunday in Georgia on felony charges of sodomy, sexual battery against a child under 16 and aggravated child molestation.

Favors is a man pretending to be a woman, and IMDB calls him an “actress” who has appeared “Star” and “Empire.” TMZ says Sidney is best known for “Love & Hip Hop: New York” and “Wild ‘n Out.”

Fox 5 Atlanta reports Favors “was taken into custody following an incident at the Embassy Suites in the 3400 block of International Boulevard” in Hapeville, Georgia.

“Booking records accuse her of performing oral sex on a minor at a hotel in Hapeville and confessing to the act,” according to TMZ.

“Because this case involves a juvenile, no additional information will be released from our agency,” the Hapeville Police Department told the station.

The probe has been turned over to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

Libs of TikTok noted: “The thing they say never happens, happened again.”

Meanwhile, TMZ reports Stephanie Favors, the mother of Sidney Favors, says she was blindsided by the child sex allegations against her child, and fully stands behind Sidney.

“Stephanie Favors tells us the allegations are completely out of character for Sidney,” she told TMZ, “and she does not believe her [biological son] would engage in sexual activity with a minor.”

Sidney Favors posted a video on TikTok dancing with mother Stephanie.

WNBA PR Shuts Down Press Conference the Instant Sophie Cunningham’s Defense of Women’s Sports Comes Up

An Indiana Fever postgame press conference came to an abrupt end when a reporter attempted to ask about teammate Sophie Cunningham’s recent comments defending women’s sports.

The team’s PR director immediately cut off the session, sending players and the coach fleeing the podium.

Following the Fever’s win over the Portland Fire on Friday night, an Outkick reporter began a question with the words “Speaking of outside noise, Sophie came out with—”

PR director Jackie Maynard immediately interjected and declared, “We’re going to wrap up there.”

Players Aliyah Boston and Makayla Timpson quickly jumped out of their seats and left the room.

Boston offered a brief “Thank you. Have a good day,” while coach Stephanie White briefly stared at papers before following them out.

Fans Outraged After Multiple WNBA Coaches Refuse to Protect Women’s Sports from Trans Athletes

Three Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) coaches have announced their support for allowing men who claim to be women to play in women’s sports over the last few days.

The debate over allowing men to invade women’s sports was kicked back into high gear after Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham delivered the common sense position that women’s sports should not allow transgender players to join their league. She said she feels it is the right thing to do to protect women’s sports against the unsafe and unfair physical advantage that men have over women.

Since Cunningham’s interview with ESPN, left-wing sports media reporters have begun pestering WNBA players and coaches about how they “feel” over Cunningham’s position on the issue. And to date, three coaches have sided with the inclusion of men in women’s sports.

On Friday, for instance, Cunningham’s own coach, Stephanie White, tried to have it both ways by saying she isn’t informed enough to have a set opinion on the “science” of the issue, but added that excluding men from women’s sports isn’t the way to address the problem.

“I don’t know that I would say I’m educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I don’t ever believe that exclusion is the answer. I just don’t. I do think that when we think about various levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport, and things that go into that, like I said, I’m not educated enough at the different levels. I know growing up I played with the boys all the time,” White said, according to Fox News.

Sophie Cunningham’s Ridiculous Coach Asked if Male Athletes Should Be Allowed in the WNBA – Says She’s “Not Educated Enough” and “Exclusion” is Not an Answer

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White weighed in on the trans-athletes in women’s sports debate on Friday, and she predictably bowed to the woke mob. 

Stephanie White is the controversial head coach for Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, the two most popular players in the WNBA. White has performed a miserable job coaching Clark and allowing her to face a beating night after night in the woke women’s league.

White’s comments come amid the controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham, the Indiana Fever star who took a heroic stand against men competing in women’s sports. The 29-year-old star said she wants to “protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men,” sparking outrage from far left progressives.

White was asked during a pregame presser on Friday for her personal stance on male athletes participating in women’s sports, and the coach, despite living 49 years as a woman, couldn’t answer because she apparently lacks the “expertise.” She even appeared to defend men in women’s sports, adding, “growing up, I played with the boys all the time.”

How did that work out, Stephanie?

“I don’t know that I would say that I’m educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I don’t ever believe that exclusion is an answer. I just don’t,” White responded.

“I do think, you know, when we think about various levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport, and things that go into that, like I said, I’m not educated enough at the different levels. I know, growing up, I played with the boys all the time. There weren’t girls’ sports.”

Christian Physician Assistant Fired for Resisting Transgender Dogma Gets $410,000 Lawsuit Settlement

A Michigan physician assistant (PA) who alleged she was fired after refusing to comply with hospital transgender policies because of her religious beliefs is receiving a $410,000 settlement in her wrongful termination lawsuit.

Valerie Kloosterman sued University of Michigan Health-West (UMHW) filed suit in 2022 after she was fired in August 2021, alleging the 200-bed suburban Grand Rapids teaching hospital was requiring her to go against her conscience as a Christian.

“All I wanted to do was provide the best care possible to my patients without being forced to violate my Christian beliefs,” Kloosterman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

She was represented in the lawsuit by First Liberty Institute, which documented that Kloosterman had “received positive performance reviews throughout her employment before raising faith-based objections to mandatory gender identity training,” the news outlet reported.

The legal advocacy nonprofit reported she was terminated after requesting a religious accommodation from finishing training that “required her to affirm statements about gender identity that were in violation of her Christian faith.”

No effort was made to accommodate her, according to the institute which takes on civil rights cases to “reclaim religious freedom in America.”

According to Fox Digital’s report:

The lawsuit says University of Michigan Health-West officials called her to a meeting, where they disparaged her religious beliefs, called her “evil” and a “liar,” told her she could not bring her Christian beliefs into the workplace, and accused her of contributing to suicides among individuals with gender dysphoria.

The settlement also calls on the hospital to prevent such punitive behavior from happening again.

Under its terms, UMHW has agreed to formulate a religious accommodation policy that complies with the law, inform and train all employees, and give reasonable religious accommodations without retribution to those who request it, the institute said.

“This new policy ensures that providers of faith and employees at UMHW will receive religious accommodations so that they can provide excellent care consistent with their medical judgment, because all patients are created in the image of God,” Kloosterman said in her statement to Fox News Digital.

The PA’s lawsuit was not a frivolous pursuit, her attorney said, but based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on several characteristics, including race and religion.

“Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating against and punishing employees for their faith,” Kayla Toney, counsel at First Liberty, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

She continued, “Valerie is an exceptional physician assistant who cares for each of her patients. Employers cannot drive out people like Valerie just because of their sincere religious beliefs. We are grateful to have resolved this matter with University of Michigan Health-West.”
