Feb 15, 2024 - CSIS admits to monitoring parental rights activists, compares them to neo-Nazis
Exteremely disturbing revelation: Canada’s top intelligence agency admitted it is closely monitoring the activities of activists and groups associated with the parent’s rights movement, particularly those opposing radical gender ideology. Recent reports from CBC shed light on a document from the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre, responsible for preventing terrorist activities in Canada. The report lumped together the “Freedom Movement” with extremist groups like neo-Nazis and QAnon. Despite the focus on monitoring such rhetoric, there was no mention in the report by CSIS regarding the violence often faced by those protesting against gender ideology. Instances of physical attacks and intimidation against parent’s rights protesters have been documented, including an incident involving teenage activist Josh Alexander in Calgary.

Feb 13, 2024 - NCAA official resigns in protest of transgender policies that ‘discriminate against female student-athletes’
A member of the NCAA Committee on Infractions resigned from his position over disagreements with the organization’s policy for transgender student-athletes. William Bock III, the former general counsel for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, submitted his letter of resignation to NCAA President Charlie Baker on Friday, citing the college sports organization’s policy to allow transgender men to compete in women’s sports as a primary reason for his departure. “Although I may not have agreed with the wisdom of every rule in the NCAA rulebook, I believed the intent behind the NCAA’s rules was competitive fairness and protection of equal opportunities for student-athletes,” Bock wrote. “This conviction has changed as I have watched the NCAA double down on regressive policies which discriminate against female student-athletes.”

Erasing Women and Women’s Safe Spaces
Feb 15, 2024 - Person choked in VCU Cabell Library bathroom, suspect not in custody
A “person” was assaulted in the women’s toilet at Virginia Commonwealth University Cabell Library on Wednesday. No information on whether the victim was a woman or the perpetrator was a man. The obfuscation of language regarding sex, especially when referring to crimes occuring in spaces designated for sex segregation such as womens toilets allows for erasure of the reporting of crimes against women. Perhaps the person attacked was a man incorrectly using the women’s toilet. Perhaps the perpetrator was woman. Or perhaps the victim was a woman and the perpetrator a man. Or perhaps they were both the same sex. Because this information in not clearly reported, we don’t know. The women at Virginia Commonwealth University don’t have a clear idea on threats to their safety and are denied information necessary for guarding agianst risks to their safety.
Feb 14, 2024 - ‘Women’s Bill of Rights’ passes House; Democrats say it’s a vehicle for discrimination
In West Virginia, a proposed “Women’s Bill of Rights” that would narrow the definition of women in state code passed out of the House of Delegates on Wednesday. Democrats, who unanimously opposed the bill, noted that it was an “empty Valentine’s Day card” to women in the state.
The measure, House Bill 5234, would codify in state law that any mention of women would only apply to those who are women according to their biological sex at birth. It also gives legal backing to same-sex spaces like bathrooms, though the legislation doesn’t say how that would be mandated in schools, restaurants, and more.
Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber said Thames Valley Police was 'clearly wrong' when it relied on gender self-ID to call Osareen Omoruyi, charged with two counts of sexual assault against a child, a woman in a press release. The elected Police and Crime Commissioner said the 51-year-old 'is male' and has been remanded to a male prison. He wrote in a lengthy statement on his website on Sunday: 'Thames Valley Police have, mistakenly in my view, relied on the 'self-described gender' in publishing a press release that incorrectly states that a woman has been charged with these offenses.' He said it was important that the public and potential victims understand the facts and that statistics about sexual offenses are accurate.
Feb 13, 2024 - A Mississippi university tries again to drop ‘Women’ from its name
Leaders of Mississippi University for Women made a new proposal Tuesday to shed the school’s gender-specific name in a way they hope will be accepted by alumni who fondly call their alma mater “The W.” The public institution would become Wynbridge State University of Mississippi and would still market itself as “The W,” if legislators approve the plan. The name change would happen July 1. MUW has also enrolled men since 1982, and about about 22% of the current 2,230 students are male. The school was chartered in 1884 as the Industrial Institute and College and was on the campus of an existing private school, Columbus Female Institute. The original mission of the college was to provide higher education and vocational training for women. In 1920, the name changed to Mississippi State College for Women, and in 1974 it became Mississippi University for Women.
Patients could be treated by medics of the opposite sex without their knowledge or consent, new data reveals. Figures show at least 77 doctors have registered a change of gender with the General Medical Council (GMC) since 2003. Just two have informed the GMC that they have obtained a UK Gender Recognition Certificate, the document that provides legal recognition of the change. And it raises concerns that doctors are being allowed to self-identify at will to change gender on the register without further checks. The information, supplied by the GMC to Labour's gender-critical Baroness Hayter, revealed a total of 14 doctors changed gender on the GMC register in 2022 and nine last year.
On Feb 8, 2024 Vancouver Transit Police issued a press release seeking assistance in identifying a suspect of sexual assault on the transit property. The police recovered semen from the victim. The police refused to provide an accurate description of the suspect by declining to name the sex of the obviously male suspect, and not using sex specific pronouns to describe the suspect. The transit police claimed to have been uncertain of how to refer to the suspect despite having physical evidence proving he is male.

Feb 15, 2024 - New Hampshire Senate votes down abortion rights constitutional amendment
The New Hampshire state senate defeated a constitutional amendment that would protect abortion rights in the state. A Constitutional Amendment to protect abortion will not go forward to the voters this November as the Senate voted CACR 24 down along party lines Thursday, 14-9. Democrats contended that there are no rights to abortion enshrined in state law and that this would protect the state’s women from federal actions that could occur in the future.

Feb 15, 2024 - Medication abortion via telehealth is just as safe and effective as with a clinic visit, study shows
Research has long found that medication abortion is safe and effective, but a new study shows that to be true even when the patient gets the medicine through a telehealth appointment. Medication abortion, also known as medical abortion, is the method by which someone ends their pregnancy using pills rather than a surgical procedure. It’s the most common form of abortion in the United States. It’s also come under fire recently. In April, a Texas judge suspended the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone, one of the drugs used in the practice in the United States. The medication is still available while the ruling is under review by the US Supreme Court.

Feb 13, 2024 - Men who kill partners after 'rough sex' will now face even longer in jail
Perverts who kill during 'rough sex' will face longer behind bars under measures unveiled today. Justice Secretary Alex Chalk said that ministers would beef up rules around sentencing to make sure offenders are punished more for causing death through "abusive, degrading or dangerous sexual behavior". Tough laws to be introduced by Mr. Chalk will allow judges to treat the use of fatal violence during sadomasochistic sex as an 'aggravating factor' when calculating a killer's punishment. It is likely to add years to the sentences handed down to rough-sex deviants. It comes after MPs banned killers from using the so-called 'rough sex defense' to try and get less time behind bars back in 2020.
The Domestic Abuse Act meant killers could no longer say "consent for sexual gratification" was a defense for causing someone harm to try and get them off their charges, and could not consent to their own death.
Feb 10, 2024 - Planned Parenthood recommends toddlers be asked if they are 'a boy or a girl' by parents
Planned Parenthood has published parental guidance on gender identity that encourages asking toddlers between the ages of 1 and 3 how they identify. The guidance titled "4 Facts You Need to Know About Your Kids, Gender Identity and Being Trans," which is listed on Planned Parenthood's website under "gender identity," states as a "fact" that “gender identity, for everyone, is formed in the toddler years.” Planned Parenthood tells parents that in order to create a "safer space" for their toddler they should ask their child point blank if they identify as a "boy or a girl." Whatever answer the toddler gives, parents should accept it and treat them as such.
A Massachusetts student who was allegedly kicked out of his school for wearing a t-shirt with words stating that there are only two genders has appeared in court over the ordeal. Liam Morrison, and eigth grader had to be picked up by his father when he refused to change shirts. Liam’s parents field a federal free speech alwsuit against the town of Middleborough, the previous acting principal, the Middleborough School Committee and Middleborough Public Schools superintendent. Morrison appeared at the US Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit in Boston on Thursday wearing the same controversial 'there are only two genders' t-shirt. He claims that by forcing him to change out of the shirt, the school district was stifling his First Amendment right to free speech and said officials 'took away my ability to have a different opinion'.
Feb 9, 2024 - Pediatricians Cast Doubt on Efficacy of ‘Gender-Affirming’ Therapies for Teens
The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) on Wednesday, Feb 7, 2024, issued its position statement opposing the use of so-called “gender-affirming” medications, such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, social transition, and surgery for youth who have a gender identity not congruent with their sex. The ACP states that "social transition, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones have no demonstrable, long-term benefit on the psychosocial well-being of adolescents with gender dysphoria." "A review of at least 60 research papers demonstrates no benefit to social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or surgical interventions for these youth," accordomg to the organization.
The ACPeds is a small, conservative organization of less than 700 members; not to be confused with the American Academy of Pediatrics, a much larger, more influential organization that supports surgical and pharmaceutical interventions for “gender-affirming care.”

This is from the ‘be kind’ crowd. Of course
The 90-year-old issue is low-hanging fruit.
There are many reasons a non-profit might decide it’s time to ease such a volunteer out the door; at 90 we tend not to GAF at all anymore about how other people feel about what we say, we just let it all out, previously-unspoken prejudices and opinions and all, and we’re done changing who we are.
If they won’t go willingly, you have to force them. And if you’re an ED or PR person looking out for your organization’s image and funding stream, you’ll choose the best excuse you can come up with that leaves your hands looking clean in the eyes of your tribe. Yes, you’ll even lie. As a person who has reached your level you’re experienced at that by this point.
Remember how skeptical we are about news articles that make our viewpoints look bad? Well, we should always be that skeptical, about all news stories, no matter how they make our viewpoints look.
I bet you any amount you like that the pronoun thing is just the tip of the iceberg, just the excuse, and as likely to be false as it is true.
Of course, they didn't see this backlash coming, because they live in a different world than we do. Not the least bit surprising.
So, sure, let's get all the mileage we can out of this. But let's also be honest - in reality, it almost certainly is a nothingburger.
No, I'm not just being cynical. I'm telling you all how people in lefty management actually think and act, because I've been there in a number of different nonprofits, and seen it.
