Transgender: Last News

Nex Benedict, a nonbinary 16-year-old who died the day after an altercation in the school’s bathroom.But a pro-LGBTQ alliance of hundreds of people showed up to counter-protest, outnumbering the church members and expressing support for the students at Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma. The Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro, which has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, announced earlier this week that it intended to hold two “public preaching” events in Owasso on Wednesday, March 6 — one outside the school board headquarters, and the other outside Owasso High.According to a release from the group that misgenders Benedict, Westboro intended to protest the school due to its negligence in dealing with the 16-year-old, allowing her to identify as nonbinary without forcing her to accept her assigned sex at birth.The release slams Benedict’s family for having failed in raising them, and the staffers at Owasso High School, the local school board, and the city, saying that adults surrounding Benedict failed to intervene, and implying that God punished the lack of intervention with Benedict’s death.

challenge the law in court last month, were likely to suffer “immediate” harm, in the form of reduced access to health care providers willing to treat their gender dysphoria, if the law — which imposes penalties on doctors who prescribe gender-affirming treatments — were to take effect.Holbrook found that, because the plaintiffs were likely to succeed in their lawsuit, it was best to issue a temporary restraining order “maintaining the status quo while the Court can more thoroughly review the evidence and argument following a full hearing.”Holbrook also noted that the whole law had to be blocked because lawmakers combined the bill banning gender-affirming care with a separate bill banning transgender athletes from women’s sports to gain the necessary votes to pass the Republican-controlled state legislature.In December, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed the bill from taking effect, expressing qualms about infringing on parents’ rights to make medical decisions for their own children.

regardless if her comments may offend some people — was asked about her position on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.The question came from Dan Zaksheske, a reporter for OutKick, a website with a strong conservative viewpoint that markets itself as an “everyman” alternative to mainstream sports news outlets.“You just talked about what a massive weekend this is for women’s basketball, women’s sports in general,” Zaksheske said. “One of the major issues facing women’s sports now is the debate/discussion/topic about transgender athletes, biological men in women’s sports. I was wondering if you could tell me your position on that issue.”“Damn, you got deep on me, didn’t you?” Staley responded after taking a long sip of water.

transgender influencer and TikTok star, 27, released the music video for her new song on Wednesday, which features Mulvaney dancing a mini dress, a crop top, a green polka dot dress, and a hot pink negligee.“Every day, every night, rise and shine, yeah, all mine. Thick or thin, I’ll be alright.

Dylan Mulvaney “appalling.”On Friday, Mulvaney, a transgender woman, posted an Instagram photo with Gaga to celebrate International Women’s Day, which quickly faced blowback for a biological male claiming to honor women.Gaga remarked on the issue Monday, specifically calling out the media’s framing with the use of the word “backlash.”“It’s appalling to me that a post about National Women’s Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred. When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it ‘backlash’ I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence.

sweeping anti-transgender bill that also banned access to gender-affirming care for minors, use of gender-affirming pronouns in school environments, and “Don’t Say Gay”-style prohibitions on classroom content.

KYTV-TV that teachers who allow students to access LGBTQ literature or have LGBTQ-supportive signs or symbols in their classroom will also be subject to criminal charges for supporting social transition. “Teachers are there in the schools to teach the topics that they’re trained to teach and to help those children grow in knowledge,” he said.

Dylan Mulvaney last year — in which he shot up cases of the beer in a viral display that sparked a boycott of the brand — Kid Rock is now saying that he was firing blanks, not bullets.“So, what’s it like being the dude who took out Bud Light?” Joe Rogan asked the country-rocker on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”“Man, I was just having fun, to be honest with you,” Rock, 53, responded.“I was pissed, but it wasn’t like it was going to wreck my day, let alone my life. I was just kind of like, ‘What the f–k are they doing?’ ”But after Mulvaney posted a video promoting Bud Light as part of the company’s March Madness campaign last April, Rock let it rip on social media: “f–k Bud Light and f–k Anheuser-Busch.”That led to massive Bud Light losses, with many refusing to drink or even stock the beer.But while Rock insists that he wasn’t the “Pied Piper” of the boycott, he admits that he was the “face” of it.“Throwing a tantrum with a machine gun? ‘Wah, wah, they wanna let guys play in girls’ sports, wah,’” said Rock, then imitating the sounds of an automatic weapon.But since the whole brew-haha, the “Picture” singer said that he’s actually become friends with Bud Light CEO Brendan Whitworth — and the two have even partied together.“We’ve become friends.

Jazz Jennings revealed that she’s lost 70 pounds since beginning her fitness journey in 2021. On Saturday, the “I Am Jazz” alum posted a photo of herself on social media wearing a black and white strapless halter top.“70 pounds down,” Jennings, 23, wrote via Instagram. “Feeling happier and healthier than I’ve been in years.” “I still have a ways to go, but I’m so proud to finally be taking the necessary steps toward bettering my mind, body, and spirit,” she added.

Lawrence v. Texas invalidated state-level sodomy laws as unconstitutional.However, unless a state proactively removes prohibitions on same-sex intimacy, local law enforcement authorities could choose to selectively enforce the law with the intent of targeting LGBTQ people — forcing them to expend money and energy defending themselves in court, even if the charges would ultimately be dismissed.Additionally, if the Supreme Court were to reverse its finding in the Lawrence case, those 12 states where anti-sodomy statutes have not been repealed would immediately be revived and could be used to prosecute LGBTQ people.Under Massachusetts’ anti-sodomy statute, which equates same-sex activity with bestiality, a person could be imprisoned for 20 years in prison for violating the law.A similar law punishes those convicted of an “unnatural and lascivious act” with a five-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $1,000.The anti-sodomy and “unnatural acts” laws are being targeted for repeal by some more liberal members of the state legislature, who are seeking to repeal or erase other outdated laws governing personal conduct, typically known as “morality” laws.One such law is a prohibition on “night walking,” which critics say can be used to harass individuals, especially transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, for simply being out in public, allowing law enforcement to claim that such people intend to engage in prostitution.However, despite arguments from opponents, repealing the “night walking” law would not change other commonwealth laws declaring prostitution illegal.The Senate also added an amendment repealing a ban on “blasphemy,” a rarely-enforced statute in which Massachusetts residents are supposed to be punished

Will Ferrell revealed Sunday that he had “zero knowledge” of the trans experience until his close friend of 30 years Harper Steele came out to him in 2022.“I know I’ve met trans people before,” Ferrell, 56, told Variety in a clip posted to the outlet’s social media. “I didn’t have anyone personally in my life.

The Associated Press, the Mercer County Board of Elections chose not to disqualify Arienne Childrey, a Democrat from St. Mary’s, Ohio, whose candidacy for the 84th District seat in the Ohio House of Representatives was challenged after Mercer County Republican Party Chairman Robert Hibner filed a protest with the elections board.Hibner argued that Childrey had violated a little-publicized state law requiring public office candidates to list any name changes they have had over the previous five years on their election paperwork.The law contains some exceptions, including for those who change names after marrying or those running for re-election, having previously been elected by voters under their new name.While the law was not intended to address transgender existence, it has since been weaponized against transgender candidates.

previous ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in favor of the student, who is identified in court documents as A.C., will be allowed to remain in place while the case works its way through the courts.The 7th Circuit’s decision, issued in August, upheld a preliminary injunction issued by U.S.

here to set the record straight.On Wednesday, the Rascal Flatts guitarist, 48, took to social media to clarify rumors that he’s transitioning to be a woman. “First off, I am alive! There have been so many rumors and opinions thrown around about me — but I am finally healthy and ready for the world,” the country musician posted on X. “And NO, I’m not transitioning to be a woman.

There’s so much!So why, then, am I seemingly buried in promos for Lady Ballers, the comic romp from the goofy gang at The Daily Wire? Billed as “the most triggering comedy in years,” the trailer gives us a peek into the laugh-riot world of, simply put, men dressing up in wigs and fake tits to identify as Trans women in the sporting arena and beat the pants off those cis sisters.While you won’t find it in theaters — it’s a DailyWire+ exclusive — you will find it filled with all your fascist faves!Ohai, Matt “What Is a Woman?” Walsh. Who’s that referee? Why it’s The Daily Wire’s Editor Emeritus Ben “You can’t magically change your gender” Shapiro.

Daily Signal.Monarch High School is allowed to appeal the decision within ten days. Officials with Broward County Public Schools said in a statement that its “investigation into the matter remains ongoing at this time.”The punishment handed down against Monarch is the first instance of a school being penalized for violating the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” primarily aimed at preventing transgender female athletes from competing on women’s sports teams.The law allows “biological females” to compete on “athletic teams or sports designated for males, men, or boys,” as well as in sports that are designated as “co-ed.”“Thanks to [Republican Governor Ron DeSantis], Florida passed legislation to protect girls’ sports, and we will not tolerate any school that violates this law,” Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr.

exceptions for intersex children or children with hormonal deficiencies, who would still be allowed to receive the exact same therapies that are prohibited for transgender children.Critics of such provisions say it exposes the hypocrisy of bills restricting gender-affirming care, in that only children identifying as transgender are targeted, while intersex children are instead “forced” to conform to a certain binary gender presentation for the comfort of larger society.Additionally, intersex children are often subjected to surgical interventions when they are just days old — which not only eliminates a patient’s ability to consent, but may increase a minor’s gender dysphoria if doctors and parents choose a gender presentation that does not match their gender identity.The ban on gender-affirming care was passed by Republicans in October, along with two other bills targeting transgender participation in high school and collegiate sports. At the time, Evers threatened to veto any measure targeting the LGBTQ community, as reported by AM news radio outlet WTMJ.“This type of legislation, and the rhetoric beget by pursuing it, harms LGBTQ people and kids’ mental health, emboldens anti-LGBTQ hate and violence, and threatens the safety and dignity of LGBTQ Wisconsinites,” Evers wrote in his veto message.

News Nation, host of the evening.DeSantis claimed Haley supports “gender mutilation of minors” and does not support government intervention to stop these treatments.Haley responded that she had actually criticized Florida’s original “Don’t Say Gay” law, which bans instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in schools, for only going as high as third grade.She said it should be expanded to all grades. DeSantis pointed out that the expansion was a different piece of legislation, which was passed earlier this year. “We’re talking about sex change operations on minors,” countered DeSantis.
