When a person has or maintains a false belief or judgment about overt and objective external reality, and holds such views in defiance despite unquestionable authentication to the contrary, clinicians and therapists appropriately describe this as delusion and reflective of some form of mental disorder. Delusions are beliefs that are plainly untrue and that indicate an abnormality in the affected person’s content of thought. More problematic is these individuals are positively assured that the delusion is real.

When I was very young, I was manipulated into sex reassignment (also known as sex/gender correction or sex/gender transition) by a transsexual man in his mid-40s. For several years he gave me puberty blockers - dangerous substances that block the effects of testosterone - and hormones of the opposite sex, i.e. estrogens. Just before I turned 18, a psychologist, psychiatrist, and sexologist, after one visit, without any tests, fabricated a diagnosis of transsexualism and referred me, officially, for a sex change, which should never have happened. Currently, I have had a reversal procedure, returning to the true sex I was...

Although Fox News seeks to project an image of traditional values to its conservative audience, the culture behind the scenes at the network has become blatantly woke in recent years, according to a shocking new report. Fox’s company handbook, obtained by the Daily Signal, reveals that the company is dedicated to “expanding and strengthening” efforts to “sustain a more inclusive work environment” for transgender employees. That effort includes allowing employees to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, rather than their biological sex, and directs fellow employees to use their preferred names and pronouns. “If a transitioning employee expresses...

Earlier this year, Robert “Rachel” Levine, Joe Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health, claimed without evidence that there is consensus in the medical community that so-called “gender-affirming care” is good for kids.“There is no argument among medical professionals — pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, adolescent medicine physicians, adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, etc. — about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care,” he claimed.But a new study has found that Levine’s claim is not supported by data. In fact, there is no medical science to support his claim whatsoever. The study, which was conducted by the nonprofit organization Sex Matters in the United Kingdom,...

The Orange Southwest Supervisory District’s website was hacked Saturday and inundated with “hate speech, symbols, and photographs targeting transgender invidividuals,” superintendent Layne Millington wrote community members on Saturday. The incident prompted district leaders to disable its website and social media accounts, Millington wrote, and to refer the matter to local and federal law enforcement. “While the speech has been disgusting and disturbing, it has not been threatening,” he wrote. According to Millington, the hacking appears related to a recent incident involving the Randolph Union Middle/High School girls’ volleyball team. District officials have declined to elaborate, citing federal privacy laws. But...

EXCLUSIVE — Lia Thomas, the controversial transgender swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania, recently gave an interview on Good Morning America.

In an exclusive interview, one of the swimmers who swam with Thomas last season spoke to me on the condition of anonymity about Thomas’s GMA appearance. "You can tell he is mentally ill," she told me. "I saw the video and was so...

When anything sacred must be debauched, there are no limits to the charade of liberating oneself from taboos. In 2019, a performance by a dance troupe at the Tanglefoot Building in Grand Rapids attracted controversy after the site’s owner canceled the event. The reason was that the troupe was composed of drag queens and kings, and all were adults with Down Syndrome. The event space owner was Peter Meijer, then a Republican candidate for the House of Representatives. After brief outrage, the story was forgotten, but Drag Syndrome has continued to market their “craft” through—what else?—TikTok. When I learned there...

Chappelle has recently come under fire for his Netflix comedy special “The Closer,” which critics say is insensitive toward the transgender community. Just days after creating the post, Oswalt felt a need to extinguish any fires it may have caused among his fan base, which tends to be liberal. In a lengthy apology post, Oswalt noted he had played a show with a friend on New Year's Eve who he had not seen in a while, referring to...

Amy Schneider's phenomenal run on Jeopardy! continues to break records, as she has now become the highest-earning woman in the show's entire history.
