The Trans Trend Trundles On

It never fails. About the time you think the drama is over, it rises from the muck like a swamp monster to steal your time, attention, and, if possible, your soul. Just when we thought it would be safe for women and girls to go back onto volleyball and basketball courts and into women’s restrooms, the Left marshaled what remains of its wild-eyed forces to lurch into the trans agenda fight once again. 

Yes, Gavin Newsom is repositioning himself for a 2028 run, and plenty of voters have the short-term memory to see him as a moderate and maybe even give him a win. But plenty of other Leftists are still waving the Pride/Progress flag. As you are well aware, the Democrats sat stoically through Trump’s announcement about boys and men in girls’ and women’s sports. California’s LGBTQ caucus says it was “sickened and disgusted” by Newsom’s 180 (that won’t last). 

Minnesota State Rep. Liish Kozlowski (D-District 8B) likened the transgender sports ban to “state-sanctioned genocide,” and Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), while insisting he is “not dumb,” also claimed, “[And] I have a 13-year-old daughter, and she plays basketball. And I’m not afraid that she’s gonna get mowed down.” The tide is turning on this issue, so what is with all the bitter clinging from the Left?

Part of the reason is that, as I mentioned earlier in the week, progressives have more issues than the Wall Street Journal. Further, as I opined on the live blog, if Trump issued an executive order prohibiting people from drinking Drano, the emergency rooms would be full of Democrats the next day. If Democrats admit that they are on the wrong side of one thing, they may be forced to deal with the fact that they are on the wrong side of other things. But at the heart of the matter lies the Left’s proclivity for fetishizing power: the sinister yet simple compulsion to force everyone to bend to their will.

CNN Retracts Fact-Check Over Trump’s Transgender Mice Claim

Following President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, CNN attempted to issue a fact-check on his claim of government spending on experimentation with transgender mice; the network was subsequently forced to make a retraction.

As the Daily Caller reports, President Trump revealed during the speech – his first address to Congress as the 47th President – that his administration had uncovered $8.2 million in funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to use “gender-affirming” treatments on mice. 

CNN’s Deidre McPhillips tried to claim this was false, and that only about $500,000 was spent on these experiments.

“Trump falsely claimed that the Department of Government Efficiency identified government spending of ‘$8 million for making mice transgender,’” said CNN’s original statement.

The White House responded by issuing a statement confirming that the original amount of $8.2 million was accurate.

“Last night, President Donald J. Trump highlighted many of the egregious examples of waste, fraud and abuse funded by the American taxpayers, including $8 million spent by the Biden Administration ‘for making mice transgender,’” the statement from the White House declared. 

“The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual).”

California LGBTQ Caucus ‘Sickened and Disgusted’ After Newsom Turns on Trans Athletes

California’s LGBTQ Caucus is “sickened and disgusted” by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) comments calling transgender-identifying male participation on female sports teams “deeply unfair.” 

“We were certainly caught off guard and woke up incredibly sickened and disgusted about seeing somebody who’s been an ally of our community use this language,” Democrat Assemblymember and chair of the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus Chris Ward told CapRadio. 

Ward added that while he appreciates Newsom’s past leadership on LGBTQ+ issues, his remarks about transgender athletes are confusing. 

“Transgender kids just like any other student – although a very, very small part of the population – deserve a chance to benefit from what sports have to offer,” Ward said.

Trans high school track star sparks fury after winning girls’ triple jump by staggering 8 feet

A transgender high school track star in California recently obliterated her competition by winning a girls’ triple jump event by a staggering eight feet.

AB Hernandez, a junior at Jurupa Valley High School, secured the win with a more than 40-foot jump at the Ontario Relays invitational meet back on Feb. 22, records show.

The runner-up managed to jump just over 32 feet in the category.

Hernandez also took first place at the meet in the high jump (4 feet, 10 inches) and long jump (17 feet, 6 inches) events.

She continued her winning streak this past Saturday when she took home first place in both the triple jump and long jump events at the Roosevelt Invitational, according to records.

The teen finished nearly three feet ahead of the triple jump runner-up and two feet ahead of her second-place long jump competitor, the results show.

“Hopefully, I hit a 41 [footer] this year if it’s possible. Preferably at state so that I can possibly win,” Hernandez said late last month after her 40-foot triple jump.

California college axes women’s locker rooms to boost transgender inclusivity

A California university is doing away with traditional men’s and women’s locker rooms in an effort to support transgender students – even as the state’s governor condemns transgender athletes in women’s sports. 

The University of California, Davis announced plans last month to renovate the locker rooms at its Activities and Recreation Center, citing student feedback as the motivation for the $5 million project.

‘We value inclusive, accessible environments that accommodate the diverse needs of our community,’ schools officials said at the time, according to Fox News. 

‘We are pleased to announce that we will be remodeling the current locker room facilities to implement universal locker rooms.

‘All campus and recreation members can use our universal locker rooms, regardless of who they are and how they identify,’ they continued, noting the space will be ‘inclusive of members with disabilities and all gender identities.’

But after some students expressed concerns about the safety of the ‘universal’ locker rooms, which were seized upon by critics of the transgender movement, the university revised its statement, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.  

It now says, ‘All Campus Recreation members will be able to use our new locker rooms. These spaces include ADA-accessible facilities for members with disabilities.’

Under the plans for the new locker room, the university would offer a handful of private cabanas, changing rooms and toilet rooms with floor-to-ceiling walls and doors.

Oregon trans activist arrested for firebombing and shooting attacks on Tesla store

A trans Portland far-left extremist has been arrested over the firebombing and shooting attacks on Tesla in Salem, Ore.

Adam Matthew Lansky (b. November 1983) has been charged by the DOJ with illegally possessing an unregistered destructive device. He’s accused of being part of the Inauguration Day firebombing attack on the Tesla store and the Feb. 19 shooting there. Lansky allegedly pointed a semi-automatic rifle at a witness during the first incident.

Lansky uses the alias “Allison Tesla” in his activism and pornography work. He has been recruiting leftist LGBTQIA+ people in the Salem area to train with firearms. His social media shows an obsession with guns and suppressors, which he paints in trans and bright colors.

CNN Embarrasses Itself Yet Again: Trump Was Right About Transgender Mice Studies

CNN went on a fact-checking frenzy after Trump’s Tuesday night speech to a joint session of Congress, but they forgot to do one thing: check the facts. In one of the epic diatribes of the address, the president lambasted the waste in the federal government that has been uncovered by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and pointed out many of the most ridiculous examples—including transgender studies on mice.

Trump:

Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified: $22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens, $45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma, $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. $8 million to promote LGBTQ+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of, $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. $60 million. $8 million for making mice transgender. [Laughter.]

This is real.

Well, it didn’t take long for CNN to get their knickers in a twist and try to trip up the president, but they failed badly:

CNN’s Deidre McPhillips initially tried to dispute the claim, arguing only about $500,000 had been allocated for similar research in monkeys — she was later forced to issue a correction after the White House proved CNN’s “fact check” inaccurate in a statement.

Judge blocks Trump’s order to end funding for hospitals providing youth gender-affirming care

Afederal judge in Baltimore on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order that pulled funding for hospitals and healthcare providers that do not stop providing gender-affirming treatments to people under the age of 19.

Trump signed the executive order in January, which threatened to withhold federal funding for hospitals and other healthcare providers nationwide that do not stop providing the gender-affirming care, which includes puberty blockers and hormone treatments.

Judge Brendan Hurson granted a preliminary injunction against the order on Tuesday, which will impact hospitals and healthcare providers nationwide. A previous order by a different judge only impacted four states, per the New York Times.

The case stems from a group of six transgender people between the ages of 12 and 18, and their parents and advocacy groups, who claimed that their access to treatment was threatened by two of Trump’s orders.

The second executive order directed federal agencies to ensure that grant funding for research does not support “gender ideology.” Trump’s administration has also stated the federal government would only recognize two genders.

“The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist,” Hurson wrote in his order.

Philadelphia schools will allow trans athletes to compete, rejecting Trump executive order

The Philadelphia School District has announced that it will not follow an executive order from Donald Trump, and that it will instead continue to allow transgender athletes to compete on teams that align with their gender identity.

Trump’s executive order, the so-called “No Men in Women’s Sports” policy, prohibits transgender Americans from participating in sports if the team or category does not align with their sex at birth. The order threatens to withhold federal funding from schools that do not comply.

Philadelphia School District officials said in a statement Tuesday via The Philadelphia Inquirer that that their schools “strive to ensure safety, equity and justice for all students regardless of gender identity or gender expression so that they can imagine and realize any future they desire.”

“The district will continue to align its practices to support its LGBTQ+ students in accordance with Board Policy 252 for transgender and gender non-conforming students,” officials said.

Philadelphia’s Policy 252 forbids the forced outing of LGBTQ+ students to their guardians, and also states that “transgender and gender nonconforming students shall be permitted to participate in physical education classes and intramural sports in a manner consistent with their gender identity. Participation in competitive athletic activities and contact sports will be resolved on a case-by-case basis.”

“Trans Army” Urges Followers To Train for Attacks on US Government

A radical transgender group appears to be using Facebook and other social media to coordinate attacks against the US government.

Investigative journalist Andy Ngo drew attention to the group, calling itself “Trans Army,” in a post on X.

“A Zizian-like Trantifa terror group on Facebook with over half a million followers is urging its comrades to recruit ex-military members, stockpile weapons and train to kill and commit atrocities for an insurrection against the U.S. government,” Ngo wrote.

“The FBI and law enforcement have for years neglected violent extremist criminal organizing by radical leftist networks. Those networks are radicalizing and recruiting from trans communities in particular.”

Trans Army calls itself a “non-governmental organization” on Facebook and also has Instagram and Bluesky accounts.

On its Facebook page on Saturday, Trans Army posted a call for transgender people to organize themselves into small cells, train and engage in “rebellion” against the US government, because “legal means” are no longer enough.

“For all trans people in the US. The US government has been overtaken by loyalists that supports dictatorships and threatens democracy everywhere. At this point, rebellion is inevitable and necessary. Anyone telling you that this can be fought through legal means is either a white cis man or privileged enough that it won’t affect them. They don’t get skin in the game, you do. Now the responsibility to do something is yours, if you’re reading this, you are the resistance. Don’t expect others to do it for you. You must act now or you won’t have the chance later.”

The post goes on to detail how activists should organize themselves and pick targets for attacks, under four headings: “Regroup, “Organize, “Plan” and “Act.”

The following information, which includes advice about throwing off law enforcement, is given under the heading “Act:”

“Any action that you do must be decisive. No half measures. Be ready for anything, be okay with anything. Use technology that cannot be jammed and establish signals that you can use in the event of a jam. There’s also tech that can use meshing for off-grid communications (briar is one of them).

“Targets should be communicated at the last minute, and you should use counter-espionage techniques to disrupt their ability to react. Give them plenty of false targets to waste their time. If you believe that you are under surveillance, use that to your advantage. If they are spying on you, it’s a good thing as it can help you disrupt them. Make sure not to let them know that you know.”

The violent activities of radical transgender groups have been headline news in recent weeks as a result of the Zizians, a vegan transgender cult, which has left a trail of death across the United States.
