[Catholic Caucus] Sacrilegious ‘trans’ funeral at St. Patrick’s was made possible by Francis’ pro-LGBT papacy'Accompaniment' comes at a price of apostasy. The scene at St. Patrick's Cathedral reflects the decade-long Bergoglio regime – narcissistic, mocking, faithless, impious, and indecent.Fiducia Supplicans came home to roost in all its rainbow feathers and sequins. No one should have been surprised by the “whore” drag queen show at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It was entirely predictable as the radical homosexual circus is amped up in America by its ringleader James Martin, S.J. Nor was it a surprise to learn that Martin was invited to speak...

A federal agency has awarded nearly $1 million in taxpayer funding to three academic institutions to help make undergraduate biology courses more “inclusive” for trans-identifying students, claiming that most courses “inaccurately categorize sex and gender as binary.” The National Science Foundation is an independent federal agency that helps promote science, primarily through grants. According to its website, the agency’s investments account for about 25% of federal support to colleges and universities in the United States for research purposes. As noted author and professor of apologetics at Houston Christian University, Nancy Pearcy, notes on X, "The award abstract claims that 'biology...

I assume that given the title, you as the reader understand that the story covered herein is terribly distressing, but I want to iterate the point for the sake of propriety; I also want to stress that the people boxed in by the “progressive” left as the “religious right” deserve a huge and groveling apology. We told them so, and to be frank, I’m really sick of this dance with the “progressive” left. We take on the mantle of the long-sufferer, speaking softly and using little words as we try to coax them into being halfway decent (or at the...

Like some of you guys, I've made a few stops at Victoria's Secret to purchase a surprise for my wife. I usually did it coming home from a business trip. The store clerks were always super helpful in figuring out such important things as size. It's no secret that most guys don't know their wife's size or number or other details. In my case, I would show the clerk a photo of my wife and she knew exactly what her size was. Perfect batting average, I'll say. I never told my wife that the clerk figured out her number so...

An Eighth Circuit Court panel of judges unanimously ruled Friday that an Iowa school district’s policy requiring students and staff to “respect” their classmates’ gender identity was “unconstitutionally vague,” according to the court documents. Parents Defending Education (PDE) filed a lawsuit against Linn Mar Community School District in August 2022 over a policy that would hide student’s “gender support plans” from their parents and required both staff and students to “respect” someone’s gender identity. The court determined that the district’s policy was “unconstitutionally vague” and decided to grant a preliminary injunction, temporarily halting the enforcement of the policy, according to...

Study says 50% of transgender people cancel or delay their medical appointments to avoid discrimination. The French doctor admitted he didn't have the training or knowledge to treat trans patients - as experts say there's no need for a trans woman to visit a gynaecologist at all. "I only treat real women" - that's what French gynaecologist Victor Acharian told a 26-year-old transgender woman he refused to treat in his clinic in the south-west of the country recently. The transgender woman, accompanied by her boyfriend, went to a gynaecological appointment when, after minutes of waiting, the secretary told her...

"Oh look, another dude inappropriately challenging Riley’s ability to swim." Keither Olbermann had the audacity on Wednesday to tell former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines that the reason she lost to the hulking male swimmer Lia Thomas was because she "sucked at swimming."

He’s my boss; her dog is cute; they have an exam today — pronouns are a part of speech we use to refer to ourselves and others. They’re an essential component of language — and, as of the last few years, among its most hotly contested, too. Some of the most common words in the English language have gender markers, including pronouns. But not all of them are binary. Consider the singular “they,” preferred by some nonbinary and trans people for whom gendered pronouns do not fit. And then there are neopronouns (“new” pronouns), gender-neutral or nonbinary pronouns that are...

Over a third of the population of the UK are not aware that so-called “transgender women” are in fact biological males, as campaigners accuse the LGBT movement and the legacy media of adopting “intentionally” confusing lingo to muddy the debate around transgenderism. A survey conducted by the policy analysis firm Murray Blackburn Mackenzie (MBM) found that 35 per cent of Britons incorrectly believe a “transgender woman” was someone who was born as a biological woman or were unclear about what the term meant. The poll went on to find that there was even more confusion over the term “trans woman”,...

A young male, who formerly identified as a transwoman, who was castrated and became a "patient for life" as part of "gender-affirming care," wants to warn others not to follow in his footsteps. He discussed his story of resilience and learning to accept himself for who he is for the first time with Fox News Digital.

If he was never exposed to gender ideology, he says he'd probably "would...
