Despite making up less than 1% of the U.S. population, transgender people are frequent targets of disinformation and scapegoating. This has been especially true for transgender athletes. This year, three volleyball players at Santa Rosa Junior College filed a U.S. Department of Education complaint alleging Title IX violations by the school and the California Community College Athletic Association for allowing a transgender player on the school’s team. The players claimed, among other things, that the trans player posed a physical danger to them.

[ CYPHER CODE #135 ] These sworn enemies share one goal: destroy the West. [ CYPHER CODE #136 ] Equality’s a joke when violence gets a pass. [ CYPHER CODE #137 ] Victims only matter when they’re useful. BRIEFING Jett here. There’s a video making the rounds out of the UK. It’s one of those clips that reminds you how broken everything’s become. Migrant men on one side, trans on the other, and in the middle is a society too polarized, confused, and afraid of the truth to say a word about it. Let’s get into it. If you missed...

Let's hope more arrests of these creeps take place and they end up in jail.

Access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth will be dramatically restricted by the Trump administration under new proposals by the Department of Health and Human Services. NPR has obtained the draft text of a proposed rule that would prohibit federal Medicaid reimbursement for medical care provided to transgender patients younger than age 18. It also prohibits reimbursement through the Children's Health Insurance Program or CHIP for patients under age 19.

Glamour Magazine has named nine transgender activists as their Women of the Year. The honourees include a mix of relatively unknown models, actors and musicians, with the most famous face being Munroe Bergdorf - a controversial activist who once branded 'all white people racist' and said that the Suffragettes were 'white supremacists'. Last year she was named the first 'UK champion' for UN Women UK and was previously the first ever trans woman to model for L'Oreal.

Lance Twiggs, the transgender partner of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, has seemingly vanished from his hometown just six weeks after the killing. Twiggs has kept a low profile since reports revealed that Robinson had informed him of the plot in text messages between the two. He has reportedly avoided his $1,800-a-month apartment on the outskirts of St. George, Utah. Authorities say Twiggs has cooperated fully with investigators but has declined to speak publicly about the incident. Robinson, on Monday, made a brief court appearance, where the judge ruled on his request to appear in court...

A transgender teenager has admitted to planning a mass shooting attack at an Indiana high school back in February meant to take place on Valentine’s Day. Trinity Shockley, 18, is planning to plead guilty to felony conspiracy to commit murder and will receive 12 and a half years in prison, along with five years of probation, The New York Post reported. Police said Shockley was arrested after they received a tip that she had an AR-15 and had bought a bulletproof vest. The tipster added that Shockley was obsessed with the idea of mass shootings. Shockley identifies as a man...

Three years before a leftist transgender-linked gunman murdered Charlie Kirk, a transgender assassin tried to carry out his plan to kill three Supreme Court justices to wipe out humanity. At one in the morning, Nicholas Roske allegedly showed up outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home carrying a gun, zip ties and tools for breaking and entering. Roske was angry about the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion because he believed that abortion should be “mandatory for pregnant women” so that “no new people would be born” and “humanity will end”. Roske wanted to kill three Supreme Court justices so that “there are...

On September 23rd, 2025, I published a video on YouTube titled ‘The Man Who Murdered Charlie Kirk’ reviewing all of the available public information regarding Tyler Robinson, his assassin, and Lance Twiggs - Tyler’s roommate and romantic partner. Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by someone familiar with Lance and Tyler. They provided an alleged firsthand account of what their relationship was like, how it developed, and some of the events that may have driven Tyler to do what he did. They have allowed me to publish this information, but wish to remain anonymous.

A federal judge overturned a former Biden-era rule that protected transgender healthcare under anti-discrimination measures. On Wednesday, Judge Louis Guirola Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi ruled in favor of a coalition of 15 Republican-led states. The complaint was filed regarding Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, which the Biden administration interpreted to include provisions for transgender-identifying people to receive so-called “gender-affirming care.” The provision added gender identity to Title IX’s definition of discrimination “on the basis of sex,” which previously included discrimination based on sex characteristics and reproductive function. This rule prevented...

A rock singer who performed for decades has died at the age of 71. Marcie Free, formerly known as Mark Free, sang with the bands Unruly Child, King Kobra, and Signal. Her death was confirmed on October 24 by bandmate Jay Schellen. In a Facebook post, Schellen wrote, “I just couldn’t find the words last night when I heard the news that my loving friend and bandmate in Unruly Child Marcie Free has passed.”

As speculation mounts that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will soon announce her retirement, one California lawmaker is wasting no time entering the succession race. California State Senator Scott Wiener announced his candidacy Wednesday, hours after Politico reported that Pelosi may announce her retirement soon after California votes on a controversial redistricting proposal. Wiener, who’s considered one of the most outspoken leftist members of the California State Legislature, did not name Pelosi in his campaign launch video. “My family escaped fascism in Europe. I never thought the United States would slip into fascism like we’re seeing today,” Wiener said. “San Francisco...

A Texas doctor has surrendered her medical license after being sued by Attorney General Ken Paxton over her prescribing of so-called cross sex hormones to children in the state. In October 2024, Paxton sued May Lay, a Dallas-based doctor, for providing "high-dose cross-sex hormones to twenty-one minor patients for the direct purpose of 'transitioning' the child’s biological sex," using false diagnoses and billing codes. This went against a bill passed in Texas in 2023 that prohibits medicinal and surgical procedures for the purposes of changing a child’s gender. Lau had previously entered into a Rule 11 agreement, which prohibited her...

The court ruled that HHS exceeded its authority by redefining sex under Title IX to prohibit gender-identity bias because a statute can’t “be divorced” from the time and reason for its enactment. Afederal judge in Mississippi on Wednesday struck down a Biden-era Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rule that extended federal health anti-discrimination protections to transgender health care. Judge Louis Guirola Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi ruled in favor of a coalition of 16 GOP-led states that sued over the rule. The court ruled that HHS exceeded its authority by redefining...

The trials and tribulations of a trans with running empathetic commentary by a real woman.

From men competing in women's sports to rows over pronouns, America has spent the past decade consumed by transgender debates. But the frenzy may finally be fading. A new analysis reveals that the number of young people identifying as transgender or nonbinary has plunged in recent years. The findings suggest the rate among 18- to 22-year-olds has almost halved - from about 6 percent at its peak in 2022 to around 3 percent in 2024. The number of young adults identifying as nonbinary saw a similar drop in just one year from 2023 to 2024, going from roughly 5 percent...

Governments began inserting the term “misinformation” into the mainstream narrative during the pandemic. The government has the sole discretion to determine what is considered factual. “Trust the science” is code for “trust the government” to dictate reality, and if you question that reality, you will be punished. Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner, Brünisholz found himself in a courtroom after posting on social media: “‘If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.” Police officers interrogated Brünisholz over the “intent”...
