B.C. government has given $8.7M to group hosting ‘jockstrap’ dance parties

Have you ever heard of the HIM (Health Initiative for Men) Society?

Founded as a grassroots organization focused on gay men’s health, HIM entered into a formal contract with Vancouver Coastal Health in 2009 to deliver health-promotion services.

Today, it says it provides health-based programs and services for gay, bisexual and queer men and gender-diverse people. Over the past seven years, according to HIM’s CRA filings, the organization has received more than $8.7 million from provincial and federal government sources.

So, what exactly are taxpayers helping fund?

For one, HIM hosts something called the “HIMBO Jock Tea Dance,” where attendees are invited to show up in jockstraps and “lube up” their thighs for the event.

Culture Guard, a political advocacy organization that says it works to protect traditional family values and ways of life, first put HIM on my radar. Culture Guard sent a public accountability letter to Premier David Eby, asking why his government continues to provide substantial public funding to a registered charity involved in events like the “HIMBO Jock Tea Dance.” 

Let me show you some of what Culture Guard highlighted, using screenshots from HIM’s own website.

For example, there is their “QUEERLY DESIGNED & LOCALLY MADE” merchandise. HIM’s website describes it as the “horny lovechild” of HIM. And then there is their “Collab,” inviting adult-content creators to sit down together and build community.

HIM describes some of these activities through the lens of HIV prevention. On its own website, the organization says: “Connectedness is HIV prevention,” and “Dancing together is HIV prevention.” It has continued to receive substantial public funding through provincial health authorities, such as Vancouver Coastal Health, Interior Health, and Fraser Health, as well as from the federal government.

Like Culture Guard’s letter to Premier Eby, I too have reached out to clarify whether your tax dollars have actually gone to preventing disease or to funding sexually charged jockstrap dance parties and adult content communities for the gay and queer men in BC.

I have not yet heard back at this time.

El-Sayed’s ‘Queer Muslim’ and Pro-Palestinian Half-Sister Causing Headaches for the Campaign

Eman Abdelhadi, half-sister of Michigan’s Democratic candidate for Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, is a hater.

She hates America. She hates white people. She hates the University of Chicago, where she’s an associate professor in the school’s Department of Comparative Human Development. She hates Democratic moderates. 

She also hates ICE with the virulence of a true believer and the ignorance of a left-wing radical. During protests against ICE performing its lawful function of enforcing immigration law in a suburb of Chicago, she helped instigate a riot and, during the melee, spit on a state trooper and then resisted arrest.

Before her arrest at the ICE riot in July 2025, Abdelhadi made headlines for cursing out her employer at the Socialism 2025 conference. The conference describes itself as bringing thousands of “radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements, abolition, Marxism, decolonization, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today.” 

Abdelhadi had some very nasty things to say about the University of Chicago.

“F**k the University of Chicago, it’s evil, you know it’s a colonial landlord. Like, why would I put any of my political energy into this space? I kind of had a little bit of disdain for people who spent their time doing that,” she said.

So why in the wide, wide world of sports is she working there?

“Turns out, I work at one of the biggest employers in the city of Chicago. I work at a place that is a landlord, a healthcare provider, a police force, f**k that s**t, but they are, and a place where I have access to thousands of people that I could potentially organize… actually, this is where I need to build power. That’s possible structural leverage,” she said.

Mkay. So why are you working there?

It gets much weirder. Washington Free Beacon reports Abdelhadi is the author of the “funky, commie, queer novel” Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune alongside her “bestie,” coauthor M.E. O’Brien, a “trans communist” who wrote the 2023 book Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care.

Eeek.

“The novel is a fictionalized ‘oral history’ of ‘sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes’ who band together to create a ‘radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse.'”

Radical Kansas Dem Gubernatorial Nominee Sparks Fury After Her Very Sacrilegious Post About Jesus Christ Resurfaces

The Kansas Democratic Gubernatorial nominee is under fire after a disgusting and extremely sacrilegious post she made about Jesus Christ resurfaced this week.

As The Washington Examiner reported on Wednesday, State Senator Cindy Holscher had an exchange she had with a right-leaning user on X. In it, she criticized Senate Bill 149, legislation introduced that year that sought to restrict drag performances accessible to minors.

The argument occurred back on March 7, 2023.

At one point during the exchange, Holscher outlandishly suggested that Jesus Christ, who Christians regard as the Son of God, could have been either gay or transgender.

“I have no idea if Jesus was trans, gay, straight, etc.” Holscher wrote.

“But you seem to imply that a sacred figure is ‘less than’ if they aren’t straight. That’s too bad,” Holscher added.

She then demanded that the user provide “proof that schools are grooming children,” she added.

Suggesting that Jesus Christ could have been transgender is not only a true slap in the face and mockery of the Christian faith, It’s also the dumbest possible statement because 70% of the Kansas adults identify with the Christian faith.

A candidate obviously cannot win a conservative state like Kansas if they mock Christianity.

Social media users responded with disgust after learning what Holscher said.

Following Damning Report Vice President Vance Announces Criminal Refererals of Healthcare Providers Subjecting Children to ‘Horrific, Experimental Treatments in Service of Radical Gender Ideologies’

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a report, Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of “Gender Medicine,” a commissioned report examining insurance coding practices, perverse financial incentives, and the provision of sex-rejecting procedures for minors.

According to the report, more than 225 hospitals and health systems have established pediatric gender programs nationwide. Additionally, approximately $50 million in insurance claims were filed for puberty blockers billed using an endocrine disorder diagnostic code, and nearly $11 million in claims for patients ages 13-17 were billed using a diagnosis code for “precocious puberty.”

According to Mayo Clinic, “Precocious puberty is when a child’s body starts developing secondary sexual characteristics (the physical changes of puberty) earlier than usual—typically before age 8 in girls or before age 9 in boys.”

Today, Vice President JD Vance, as Chairman of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and Secretary Kennedy referred hospitals and clinics identified by the report to the Department of Justice and the HHS Office of Inspector General, respectively, for possible violations of federal law.

In a press release announcing the report, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, said, “Doctors and hospitals must put children’s health ahead of ideology and financial gain.”

“This report identifies troubling billing practices that demand scrutiny. HHS will follow the evidence, protect taxpayers, and hold accountable anyone who broke the law or violated the trust of patients and families. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are restoring transparency and integrity to American medicine.”

CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz added, “CMS has a duty to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent lawfully and honestly. When billing practices obscure what care was actually provided, especially when children are involved, we have an obligation to follow the facts. We will protect the integrity of our programs, demand accountability, and make sure the American people are not footing the bill for sex rejecting procedures that inflict potentially irreversible harm on young patients.”

Transgender ‘experts’ just made an earth-shattering admission in court

Democrats, activist groups, and medical associations have long cited the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care as the ultimate authority on a scientific “consensus” for sex-rejecting procedures, but WPATH just made an admission in court that threatens to undermine that exalted authority.

The Federal Trade Commission and four state attorneys general sued WPATH in June, alleging that the association engaged in deceptive practices by promoting “gender-affirming care” that causes harm to patients, particularly minors who cannot provide informed consent. Late last month, WPATH urged the court to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming that the government was retaliating because it disagreed with the association’s protected speech.

The association defended its Standards of Care as “opinion” protected by the First Amendment on subjects considering “medical and scientific uncertainty” in a debate with more than one reasonable position. The group also cited a Supreme Court ruling that upheld state laws forbidding “gender-affirming care“—a decision WPATH itself has loudly condemned in the past.

Trump Admin Ends Federal Medicaid Funding for ‘Sex-Rejecting’ Drugs and Surgeries for Children

The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it is banning Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funding from being used for “sex-rejecting” drugs and surgeries for children.

“Today, we are ending federal taxpayer funding for sex-rejecting procedures on children,” U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in a statement.

“These interventions carry serious risks and can cause irreversible harm. The federal government will no longer use Medicaid and CHIP dollars to fund procedures that fail to meet the evidentiary standard our children deserve,” he continued.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) said it is implementing the final rule “consistent with its commitment to protect children from experimental and life-altering sex-rejecting procedures that carry serious long-term health risks and lack sufficiently reliable evidence of clinical benefit.” The agency said the funding ban applies to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions for minors, which “can result in irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other lasting physiological effects.” 

“Children deserve our protection, not experimental interventions that pose serious risks and convey no proven benefits,” CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said in a statement. “By cutting off federal funds for these sex-rejecting procedures, we’re following the science, saving taxpayer dollars, and, most importantly, protecting children from potentially irreversible harm so they can truly flourish.”

Two Leftist Fantasies That Collide With Reality

Many want to live with fantasies that contradict facts as their reality.

But facts can’t be ignored, and we are not required to accept their fantasies as our truth and reality.

Here are two such fantasies: that a man can become a woman or vice versa, and that Marxism is good for citizens of the country.

Let us examine biology and medical science facts to disprove the first fantasy.

Sex chromosomes are packages of DNA found inside most of our approximately 30 trillion cells that have a nucleus. There are two different kinds of these chromosomes, X and Y. When an egg is fertilized, the egg itself always contributes an X chromosome, while sperm can contribute either an X or a Y. Sex chromosomes are the genetic elements that define a person’s biological sex. Females have XX and males have XY chromosomes. Chromosomes themselves are made up of proteins and DNA that carry our genetic information from cell to cell. In addition to biological gender and the resulting reproductive systems, they determine other physical traits, e.g., eye color.

The reproductive systems of men and women are distinctly different. The male reproductive system mostly exists outside of the body. The external organs include the penis, scrotum and testicles. Internal organs include the vas deferens, prostate and urethra. The male reproductive system is responsible for sexual function and urination. The female reproductive system is a group of organs that enable reproduction, pregnancy, and childbirth. It also produces female sex hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. The system consists of organs and tissues inside the body and some that are visible outside the body.

Medically, it is not possible to transplant reproductive systems into the opposite sex. Drugs and mutilating surgeries change a person’s appearance, but do not change the biological gender.

To dispel a related fantasy, women are physically weaker than men because of a combination of factors rooted in this biology. Women have: less total muscle mass, different muscle fiber profiles, lower testosterone levels, higher essential body fat, and smaller, lighter bones. These differences are significant. In upper body tasks, women produce roughly 56% of the force men do; in the lower body, that figure rises to about 72%. The average gap is real, measurable, and driven by physiology that diverges sharply at puberty.

So, factual biology shows it is impossible for women to successfully compete against the strength of men in physical tasks and sports.

N.C.: Father sues over schools’ alleged refusal to disclose if members of opposite sex use same facilities as his children

A North Carolina father is suing the Cabarrus County school board over its refusal to disclose if members of the opposite biological sex are able to use his children’s bathrooms or locker rooms at their respective schools.

On Friday, Brandon Matthews filed a suit against the county’s education board, the superintendent of the county schools, as well as the principals of his children’s schools.

“Because of his sincerely held religious beliefs and his convictions about what is best for his children’s safety and well-being, Mr. Matthews seeks to ensure that his children are not required or expected to undress or use the restroom in the presence of members of the opposite sex,” read the court document, which Fox News provided.

Matthews is the father of a fourth-grade daughter, who attends Mount Pleasant Elementary School, and a son, who is a high school senior at Mount Pleasant High School. In May, he asked the principals of both schools to inform him if a member of the opposite sex was permitted to use the same facilities as his children.

“But both principals refused to answer his questions, instead telling Mr. Matthews that he could contact them if and when one of his children found himself or herself in an uncomfortable situation,” the court filing read. “But the Constitution does not require Mr. Matthews to wait.”

The suit pulls on the 2025 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which the court found that schools must inform parents and give them an opportunity to excuse their children from instruction involving “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks when it goes against their religious beliefs.

“If the Constitution requires notice and an opportunity to opt out before exposing children to certain storybooks, it necessarily protects a parent’s right to receive notice and an opportunity to protect his children before they are expected or required to undress or use the restroom in the presence of members of the opposite sex,” the suit read.

The document also asserted that Matthews is not seeking the identification of any student, but rather he wishes to know whether his children may be expected to share such facilities with a member of the opposite sex.

Looks Like the WNBA’s Absurdity Is About to Sink the Entire Transgender Movement

Rush Limbaugh had a saying to explain how he would drive a point home about the left that perfectly applies to what we’re seeing in the WNBA today. He said that sometimes you have to illustrate the absurd through absurdity.

In other words, you have to take the left’s premise to its ultimate conclusion to more fully see just how messed up it is.

That would be a perfect description of how the WNBA is totally blowing its current men-in-women’s-sports crisis.

My colleagues David Manney and Robert Spencer both wrote separate stories about this trend, which is getting increasingly absurd: We now have former NBA stars declaring their intent to enter the WNBA draft as women.

Rush Limbaugh would be proud of these guys. Illustrate the absurd through absurdity. But what makes it all truly absurd is the amount of reality involved here. Both Royce White and Enes Freedom are simply following the rules the left has created, and in the process, they can legitimately claim to have a shot at getting a roster spot in the WNBA.

But it’s not just that. It’s the reaction they’re getting from the left, which in unison is saying, “No fair, you can’t do that!” 

The left forgets that yes, in the past, you couldn’t do that. But now, thanks to the left, you can. And the WNBA hasn’t taken a hard line on any of this yet, which is not only hurting the league, but is also hurting the transgender movement.

Reports are that the league is now reaching out to its teams to address, as US News and World Report reports, “ongoing discussions around transgender athletes in women’s basketball.”

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Englebert said, “I know many of you have received questions in recent weeks regarding transgender athlete participation in women’s basketball, and I expect this topic will continue to receive significant attention….I wanted to reach out to share how we are approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank those of you who have responded to questions from the media with thoughtfulness and professionalism.”

According to reports, a task force of team presidents and general managers will take this issue up in the near future.

Southern elementary school erupts as parents bitterly divided over new transgender teacher… with furious families clashing over claims children are ‘too young’ for a ‘biological male in a dress’

A North Carolina elementary school is facing backlash after parents discovered a transgender music teacher was educating students while wearing a dress, causing a bitter divide. 

Middle Creek Elementary School in Apex, near Raleigh, went back to school on July 30, where students were met with a new music teacher, who is a ‘transgender biological male, who dresses as a woman,’ State Representative Erin Paré said in a statement. 

At a school board meeting on Tuesday, many parents said they were unaware of the new hire, with many finding out via social media, after popular creators, such as Libs of TikTok, posted about the teacher. 

The news bitterly divided parents over whether or not the educator should be allowed to wear clothing items, such as dresses and skirts, during school hours. 

Paré is also calling for a mandatory dress code for public school teachers, which would include ‘requiring gender-appropriate professional attire,’ she said. 

However, the Wake County School Board said implementing a new dress code would be unconstitutional and discriminatory. 

‘Enforcing gender-differentiated clothing requirements based on traditional gender roles constitutes impermissible sex stereotyping under the Constitution,’ Board Member Chris Heagarty told parents. 

‘So can we all come together, respect the law, and work on how we can all come together and fund our kids’ education?’ 

Heagarty said the district is ‘following the guidance of the United States Constitution and our US courts system,’ which dictated that school dress codes ‘must be gender neutral and non-discriminatory.’ 

Many parents and board members spoke in support of the teacher, including board member Jennifer Job, who accused parents of using the educator to propel their political agenda. 

‘People online and in this room are willing to sacrifice this person’s love for their job for their culture war,’ she said at the meeting. 

Many parents and community members said the addition of a transgender teacher promoted diversity, and attacking the educator was only showing children to discriminate based on appearance and identity.  

‘We have a responsibility as a county to serve students of all diverse backgrounds and their families,’ Anna Crollman, who formerly taught in the district, said at the meeting, according to The Observer. 

However, some parents have formed a coalition called Middle Creek Parental Rights, which is led by Aaron Driver and his wife. 

The group is demanding the school release the hiring records for the transgender teacher and said parents should not have found out about the educator via social media. 

He said young students have come home with ‘big questions’ about gender identity.
