California Democrat Governor Candidate Tom Steyer Just Can’t Stop Focusing on Trans Athletes in Girls’ Sports 

Tom Steyer, the liberal billionaire Democrat who’s running for governor of California, seems to think that trans athletes in girls’ sports is the biggest issue facing the state.

He talked about this during a recent podcast appearance, and now he has released a video of himself talking with a trans athlete and making his support completely clear.

Steyer is obviously trying to signal his wokeness to the far left base of his party, but his relentless focus on this particular issue makes him look completely out of touch with Californians who care very deeply about more pressing matters for their state.

California Dem gov candidate Tom Steyer prompts mixed reactions for video with trans athlete AB Hernandez

California Democrat gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer posted a video with prominent transgender athlete AB Hernandez on social media on Friday, expressing support for the trans teen as Hernandez looks to win another set of state titles in girls’ track and field.

The video went viral across social media, with a mix of praise and criticism across the political spectrum…

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton condemned Steyer for supporting trans athletes in girls’ sports in an interview with Fox News Digital on Friday.

“Tom Steyer has taken a wildly extreme position on this issue that is totally out of touch with most California families and young people,” Hilton told Fox News Digital before the rally,” Hilton said.

Australia MOCKED globally for ABSURD laws after Sex Discrimination Commissioner tries to justify “male pregnancy”

Multiple debates from inside Australian Federal Parliament sittings on women’s rights, sex, and gender have instantly gone viral around the world, and fair enough too, because the clips are pure insanity.

Politicians, commissioners, and so-called experts are twisting themselves in knots, desperately avoiding the simple truth: women have established separate rights based on biology, and no, men cannot become women. They cannot even answer the most basic question on earth: What is a woman?

This should not be controversial. It should not even require a parliamentary debate. Yet here we are in 2026, watching highly paid officials struggle with kindergarten-level biology.

It all kicked off after the Federal Court’s absurd Giggle v Tickle ruling, which effectively declared trans women are legally women, flinging the door wide open for biological men into female-only spaces. The backlash has been fierce, with the case now destined for the High Court. In response, Nationals MP Alison Penfold introduced a bill to restore some sanity by protecting women’s spaces, women’s sport, shelters, bathrooms, and change rooms based on biological sex, not feelings.

Hollywood Actress Blows Whistle On Systemic Anti-White Discrimination In Casting

Actress Samaire Armstrong, known for her role in the hit series The O.C., stepped forward with a raw account of Hollywood’s entrenched discrimination. For years, she stayed silent as casting directors repeatedly rejected her for one reason: her race. When she couldn’t hold back any longer she broke that silence, revealing how merit has been sacrificed on the altar of identity politics.

That was five years ago. In the intervening time, Hollywood has doubled and tripled down on this momentum.

Armstrong explained, “Over the last 6 years, I’ve heard nonstop, ‘They’re not looking for white.’ — ‘They liked you, but you’re white.’ And, you know, I kept that to myself in silence…the pendulum has swung so far, you know, like, ‘We’re gonna fit this transgender character in here now that we’re PC.’ Natural, organic stories stopped being told.”

“You gotta wonder, what’s the point of acting school and putting this time into developing the craft if that doesn’t matter anymore?” Armstrong urged.

Her testimony, shared in a PragerU interview and amplified across platforms, underscores a troubling reality: Hollywood isn’t just leaning into diversity — it’s enforcing exclusion.

This isn’t one isolated voice. Armstrong’s experience reflects a broader industry shift where skin color determines opportunity more than skill, training, or audience appeal. In a country still majority white, the creative heart of American entertainment has turned against its foundational talent pool.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences formalized this bias with its “Representation and Inclusion Standards” for Best Picture eligibility. Starting with the 96th Oscars in 2024, films must meet at least two of four detailed standards, backed by a confidential Academy Inclusion Standards form (RAISE).

These rules prioritize “underrepresented” groups — defined to include women, racial or ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and the disabled or deaf — across every level of production.

Standard A: On-Screen Representation, Themes and Narratives
To qualify, a film needs at least one of these:

  • A lead or significant supporting actor from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group.
  • At least 30% of actors in minor and supporting roles from at least two underrepresented groups.
  • A main storyline or theme centered on an underrepresented group.

Standard B: Creative Leadership and Project Team

  • At least two creative leadership or department head positions filled by underrepresented groups (with at least one from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group).
  • At least six other key crew or technical positions from underrepresented groups.
  • At least 30% of the overall crew from at least two underrepresented groups.

Standard C: Industry Access and Opportunities focuses on paid apprenticeships, internships, and training programs targeted at preferred demographics. Standard D: Audience Development requires multiple senior executives or consultants from underrepresented groups in marketing, publicity, and distribution.

These mandates didn’t emerge in a vacuum. They accelerated after 2020 amid corporate panic over social justice pressures. The Academy framed them as promoting “equitable representation” to reflect a “diverse global population.” In practice, they function as barriers against projects centered on white characters or led by white creatives in a nation where whites remain the demographic majority.

Iconic films from Hollywood’s golden eras would fail these tests. Casablanca, The Godfather, Saving Private Ryan, No Country for Old Men, or even Titanic in its original form wouldn’t check enough boxes. The rules don’t just encourage diversity — they penalize storytelling rooted in European-American cultural traditions or historical accuracy.

Armstrong didn’t arrive at her critique lightly. In her PragerU “Stories of Us” segment, she detailed the gradual erosion she witnessed. She acknowledged past imbalances — “Oscars were so white for decades” — but argued the correction overshot into absurdity. Natural character development and subtle narratives gave way to forced inserts and demographic engineering.

Organic tales of human struggle, ambition, love, and loss vanished under layers of ideological checklists.

This hits aspiring actors hard. Acting demands years of classes, auditions, rejections, and honing emotional range. When race becomes the deciding factor, that investment must feel pointless.

Woke Boston mayor finds time to promote menstruation event for the TRANSGENDER community

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office for LGBTQ advancement is promoting a transgender menstruation event. 

The outwardly liberal mayor has made no secret of her love of progressive causes, despite presiding over a city whose budget came up $50 million in the red just a month ago.

Wu’s LGBTQ office partnered with the Massachusetts National Organization for Women and multiple local pro-LGBTQ groups to present an event called ‘Trans Period Pride’ on June 17. 

The event, which will be held at a branch of the Boston Public Library, promises to be ‘another consciousness raising conversation around transgender experiences with menstruation.’

The Instagram post promoting the talk is decked out in the shades of pink and light blue traditionally associated with the transgender pride flag.  

Attendees will be treated to a catered meal and free period underwear on behalf of the mayor and the sponsoring groups.  

The Daily Mail has reached out to both Mayor Wu and the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Advancement for comment. 

Wu has been a controversial figure in Beantown, despite cruising to a second term in the mayor’s office.

GLAAD Opposes Informing Parents About Grooming Content in Kid Shows

The fascists at GLAAD are raging against the idea that parents be informed about gay content in a children’s television show.

Breitbart News reported last month that the “Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced an inquiry this week into a TV ratings system that is required to warn parents about adult content in children’s shows, but has not addressed all the LGBT propaganda pushed at kids these days.”

This, of course, is long overdue. It is outrageous that sicko corporations like the Disney Grooming Syndicate sneak gay, queer, and transsexual propaganda in television shows aimed at small children. Going behind the back of parents to expose complex adult sexuality to little kids, to shatter their innocence when that innocence is vital to producing a psychologically healthy adult, is nothing less than child abuse, and it has already gone on far too long.

Naturally, the far-left GLAAD wants this outrage to continue, but GLAAD also gives away the game:

On April 22, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a new inquiry seeking public comment by May 22 and reply comments by June 22 about whether television ratings should be modified to specifically warn parents about the presence of LGBTQ+ stories. The Public Notice frames this issue as “empowering parents to protect their children,” yet those who study media history know it is not about protecting children, rather a revival of the same tactics used to purge LGBTQ+ characters from the screen for decades.

This FCC inquiry is a brazen attempt to remove LGBTQ+ people from television, rooted in the false assertion that being LGBTQ+ needs a warning label — stigmatizing our stories and decreasing the chances they will be made at all. [emphasis mine]

Yeah, that’s right, GLAAD: if you don’t sneak this propaganda in, people will reject it. Thank you for accidentally admitting that.

Currently, television warns us in advance about content that shows actors smoking cigarettes, strobing, adult sexuality, but not that we’re about to see two hairy guys swap spit?

I have no issue with gay romance in television, movies, or wherever. The arts should be for everyone. The arts should create content relatable to everyone. No, I’m not gonna watch it. In fact, I’m going to avoid it. But I don’t resent it. This is America.

What I do resent is getting sucker-punched with it.

“No sex changes for kids, period”: Poilievre clarifies position on gender ideology

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was recently asked whether his party would oppose medical transitioning for minors. He replied: “There should be no irreversible sex changes for kids, period.”

A North Vancouver town hall erupted as parents rights activist, Chris Elston, who goes by Billboard Chris, took to questioning Poilievre on “gender-affirming care” for minors.

“Gender-affirming care” refers to publicly funded medical and non-medical interventions—such as puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries—used to support an individual’s gender identity.

Boston Public Library to host 19 drag queen story hours for children at branches across the city as part of June Pride Month programming

Mayor Michelle Wu‘s Boston is rolling out the red carpet for tots — with the city’s public library system scheduling 19 drag queen story hours for children at branches across the city in June, as the New Boston Post first reported.

The taxpayer-funded Boston Public Library has booked three performers — Ms. Patty, Just JP, and Rose Quartz — to read picture books and sing songs to kids and families, with Ms. Patty alone headlining an eight-show tour of branches from the West End to Dorchester.

The library is pitching the sessions as a way to “raise awareness of gender diversity” and “build empathy” — buzzwords that have triggered parental-rights groups, religious leaders, and Republicans nationwide, who say drag shows have no business doubling as children’s programming.

Ms. Patty, who is booked for eight Boston Public Library drag story hour sessions across the branches in June.

San Francisco YMCA bans nudity after trans member exposes himself to women, children

A San Francisco YMCA has implemented new rules after a trans-identified male was seen walking around naked in the locker room in front of women and children, as well as allegedly harassing female members.

New rules at the Stonestown Family YMCA stated that “Nudity should be discreet, limited, and brief.” The rule added, “Nudity is permitted only while actively showering. Members are expected to put clothing on or be covered during use of the space outside of showering,” per the Daily Mail.

The new rules continued, “Respect privacy and personal space. Please maintain appropriate distance from others, be mindful of personal space during times of undress, and demonstrate courtesy at all times.” 

Also among the new rules are that hair dryers should be used “for drying head hair only,” and that children five and younger need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian while using changing rooms for the opposite sex. 

The new rules come after a series of complaints by female YMCA attendees against Sammy, a trans-identified male. Sammy, who had been a regular at the gym since 2024, has reportedly not been seen at the location since the new rules went into effect. 

Elizabeth Kenney, a member of the Berkeley YMCA location that Sammy also attends, recalled to the outlet seeing the male “harassing” an elderly member who had asked him to cover up. The male allegedly told the elderly woman, “If you don’t like the way I look, then you’ve got a sexual problem with yourself.” 

Kenney recalled telling Sammy, “Get away from her, leave her alone. You’re a man, you’d don’t belong here.” Sammy had also been caught on camera by Kenney’s husband, Travis, claiming to a YMCA staffer that a “drunk” woman had been lecturing him. 

Anne, who attends the Stonestown YMCA location, filed a police report in March accusing Sammy of harassment. She said that after blow drying himself while naked, Sammy had walked up to her “very close,” turned around, and used a handheld mirror to stare back at her. 

Anne wrote in the police report, “He used it as if it were a rear-view mirror to look at me behind himself. His eyes caught mine in the mirror and I froze.” She also claimed that Sammy had “paraded” around in front of Anne’s two young children in the locker room.

Elizabeth, another YMCA member, told the outlet that she had felt “repulsed and angry” to see the male “blow drying his entire naked body, including his penis, posed in front of all of the other women.”

Despite the new rules, the YMCA restated that California law allows for people to use the locker room of their self-declared gender identity.

Susan Pete, a 59-year-old member of the YMCA who was a vocal critic of Sammy, told the outlet she hopes he’s gone for good. “The transgender people ruined everything for women. They ruined sports, ruined the locker room, they upset me,” she said. “We’ve been very happy since he’s been gone, but I don’t know if he’s going to come back and cover up, or fight against it. Hopefully he just went to Seattle.”

She also raised concerns about the new rules being impractical. “So what are they going to do – having someone standing around monitoring the situation, saying ‘you’ve been naked too long?’ He’s ruined everything.”

Women Are Real, a Bay Area group defending women’s spaces, wrote in response to the rule changes, “We’ve been working to remove this guy from the women’s locker room for 2 years. He was literally there almost every day for HOURS. It’s a super tiny locker room and he spent hours in it.”

THEY’VE LEARNED NOTHING: California Democrat Governor Candidate Tom Steyer Says ‘I’m Totally in Favor of Trans Athletes in High School’

Democrats learned absolutely nothing from the 2024 election and this proves it.

During a recent podcast appearance, Tom Steyer, the liberal billionaire Democrat running for governor of California, said that he is ‘totally’ in favor of trans athletes in high school.

This technically violates two public sentiments on this issue. Not only do people not want trans athletes in high school sports, people don’t want minors to be allowed to transition genders at all.

The 2024 election made the public’s position on this crystal clear but the Democrats just don’t care.

FOX News reports:

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer defended transgender athletes competing in high school sports in a podcast posted on Sunday, arguing that excluding transgendered youth from athletics would worsen the emotional and mental health struggles many already face.

“I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school,” Steyer told “I’ve Had It” podcast host Jennifer Welch.

“When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid, and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide, then you think, ‘We’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport.’ It’s like, no we’re not.”

Steyer made similar remarks when speaking to CBS Los Angeles but also branded dissidents for perpetuating a “right-wing attempt” to smear transgender individuals.

“To be clear, this is not some huge epidemic,” he said. “This is a right-wing attempt to victimize and villainize already vulnerable and desperate people, and my heart completely goes out to the people who are so sad, feel so rejected, and so unaccepted that half of them would try to kill themselves.”

Steyer is among a crowded field of Democrats vying to retain party control of the governorship once incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term expires.

New Hampshire State Rep. Says Man Who Entered Women’s Locker Room is Reportedly a ‘Registered Sex Offender’

The Gateway Pundit reported that after Judy Walcott reported that someone she believed to be a man was inside the women’s locker room at a Planet Fitness in New Hampshire, her longtime membership was canceled.

Walcott told Fox News Digital, “I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad.”

After initially reporting the issue, she was told that the staff could not do anything about it due to company policy.

Walcott raised the issue again with another staff member a few days later and was called “transphobic.”

Ultimately, Walcott said, the gym’s manager called her to say her membership had been canceled for a “policy violation.”

Now, NH State Representative Lisa Mazur (Hillsborough District 44) has shared disturbing details about the man she says is at the center of the controversy, noting that, if this is indeed the man that Planet Fitness is protecting,  he was previously convicted of felonious sexual assault and the victim was a minor.
