3/8-3/14/2024: WPATH Files Release: the Aftermath; Collegiate female swimmers class action suit against NCAA
Plus maniacal Trans activist Andrea Long Chu argues we should let kids surgically change sex regardless of age or psychiatric history
Top Story: WPATH Files vs. Andrea Long Chu
The release of the WPATH Files by the Substack Public has cracked through the wall of silence n British mainstream media on medical treatment of children claiming gender dysphoria. This week, the London Times published its lead article calling the malpractice for what it is—Quack Medicine.
March 13, 2024 - The Times view on treating gender with drugs: Quack Medicine
Says the London Times in the subtitle: The NHS is right to ban the routine prescription of puberty blockers. Young lives have been damaged by this potentially life-changing treatment for gender dysphoria. In the same issue, they also ran this opinion piece:
March 13, 2024 - One day, we’ll look back on era of puberty blockers with horror
Even the liberal Guardian has now covered this, questioning the validity of WPATH’s recommendations to medical clinics and institutions:
Following the release of the WPATH files, the British NHS announced children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers.
March 14, 2024 - Children to no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England confirms
March 13, 2024 - The ban on puberty blockers was long overdue
Across the pond, though, the release has only been reported in conservative and independent media. The Washington Post relegated it to an Op-Ed piece, pretending this is all just “opinions”. Liberal media continues their media black out to keep the public-at-large uninformed. Even more egregiously, New York magazine ran an insane featured cover article penned by certified maniac and transgender activist Andrea Long-Chu, a man who claims he’s a woman:
After making his case why kids should be allowed to surgically change sex, Chu asked his followers to donate to GoFundMe to support his friend’s botched sex reassignment surgery.
If you haven’t heard of this maniac before, you can find out more here, here, and here. Briefly, he won a Pulitzer Prize for mansplaining to the world what it means to be female. Specifically, according to him, ““getting fucked makes you female because fucked is what a female is”, and “Distilling the femaleness to its barest essentials - an open mouth, an expectant a**hole, blank, blank eyes.” And the powers that be deem him the voice of authority on the subject because he says he’s a woman.
Gender critical feminist respond

’s gender adviceis a danger to children(Sorry, we couldn’t help messing with the article title.)
Chu’s insane featured article in New York managed to finally peak journalist Matt Taibbi, who had up till now refrained from stepping into the trans landmine field for fear of blowback. Taibbi responded with his fantastic takedown, which worth a few bucks to subscribe this month to read:
Males in Female Sports
Breaking Good News!
March 14, 2024 - EXCLUSIVE: Female Athletes Sue NCAA Over Transgender Competitors in Sports
Finally!!! Over a dozen female athletes are suing the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) for letting transgender athletes compete against them and use female locker rooms in college sports. The NCAA and all the complicit Ivy League schools can’t hide from this anymore.
The lawsuit is supported by ICONs (Independent Council of Women’s Sports), which issued a press release. Go Girls! We hope this goes all the way to the Supreme Court.
March 11, 2024 - Women’s roller derby league sues suburban New York county over ban on transgender female athletes
Long Island Roller Rebels has filed a lawsuit against New York Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who by executive order on Feb. 22 announced any teams designated as “female” would be denied permits to use the sports facilities in his county if they allow transgender athletes to participate.
March 11, 2024 - (UK) Keir Starmer backs ban on transgender athletes in female competition: ‘Common sense has to prevail’
With their comeback to power on the horizon, UK Labour Party leader Kier Starmer now says he supports governing bodies’ actions to ban transgender women having previously refused to take a position on the issue. Politicians like him are so predictable. This just shows they never truly believed “Trans Women Are Women”.
March 9, 2024 - Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson hints her friends have shunned her after she was BANNED from female golf tournament over fairness concerns
Man is upset he can no longer play in women’s tournament. 'This is such a slap in the face to all female athletes being told that any male can transition and beat them regardless of the life of hard work those women put in,” he said. 'You think you're attacking me but you're actually attacking and putting down all other female athletes.'
We feel dumber every time we hear or read trans logic.
Erasing Women and Women’s Safe Spaces
March 13, 2024 - (Canada) Supreme Court decision opts for 'person with a vagina' over 'woman'
And we thought it was bad when Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn’t answer the question, “What is a woman?” In Canada this week, in a case involving a man’s rape of a woman with no gender or sex confused people involved, Canadian Supreme Court Justice Sheilah Martin wrote in her decision that the lower court’s use of the word “woman” to described the alleged victim was “problematic” because the term “a woman” may “have been unfortunate and engendered confusion”, and implied that the more appropriate term should have been “person with a vagina.” Yep. Let’s traumatize the rape victim even more and call her a “victim with a vagina” instead of “woman”, a term of respect that describes her as a whole human being and won’t trigger and remind her repeatedly on how she was sexually assaulted.
March 13, 2024 - (UK) Woke new NHS guidance stating that 'not everyone who experiences menopause is a woman' sparks outrage
Lest we celebrate too fast on TERF island, the NHS this week published a new menopause policy that claims: ‘Not everyone who experiences menopause is a woman.’ The claim invited immediately backlash and the NHS has since rescind the document, with its spokesperson saying, ‘This draft guidance was briefly published in error - the NHS is working on an updated policy for staff on menopause, which will reflect clinical guidance and the law.’ Yessir, it was an error alright. And not a typo or draft error. The very idea that anyone but women experiences menopause is an error.
March 12, 2024 - A Kansas judge says barring driver’s license changes doesn’t violate trans people’s rights.
Kansas continues to be the beacon of common sense. District Judge Teresa Watson ruled this week that the state is not violating transgender rights by enforcing the requirement for driver’s license to show biological sex instead of the driver’s personal choice of gender identity, and that such state law is constitutional. The ACLU is appealing on the case.
March 10, 2024 - Lyft Partners With Trans-Identified Male To Promote New “Women+” Safety Feature
Once upon a time, women can find some level of reassurance when safety and protective measures are implemented for “women”. No more. To promote their Women+ Connection feature, ostensibly to make female passengers feel safer when using the service by allowing them to opt for a female driver, Lyft has partnered with Davie Felton, a man who claims he’s a woman as of last year in 2023.
To all the ladies out there, you probably knows this already if you’re reading our Substack, but next time you see or hear something is “for women”, don’t assume you’ll be entering women-only spaces.
Cancelling Women and Women’s Voices
March 10, 2024 - Wolf Response to Slate Article Lying About our Stance on Abortion
In an effort to smear the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), a new women’s advocacy organization for women following the new prioritization of trans over women by legacy feminist organizations, Slate magazine published a hit piece by Alison Chapman, another man claiming he’s a woman, misrepresenting WoLF as being anti-abortion. The hit piece was prompted by WoLF’s advocacy of the Women’s Bill of Rights in collaboration with Independent Women’s Voice. The Women’s Bill of Rights defines “sex” based on biology, and seeks to codify related terms including “women”, “girls”, “mother”, etc. accordingly. It has so far been passed and adopted by Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

Who’s Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler
Trans activist academic Judith Butler, who now identifies as nonbinary, has a new book out. Her latest, Who’s Afraid of Gender? purports to deconstruct the elements of the “anti-gender movement” and pathologize those who disagree with her as bigots who don’t read by using a lot of indecipherable and convoluted sentences.
Victoria Smith, Professor Kathleen Stock, and Sarah Ditum share their thoughts on Butler’s latest words of a madwoman:
March 13, 2024 - Judith Butler has a projection problem; It is she, not gender-critical feminists, who seems to be afraid

March 12, 2024 - Alabama official calls for firing of transgender Space Camp employee after parent speaks out
Just as women today should not automatically assume areas designated for “women” are women-only, parents today should not automatically assume places for their children are sex-segregated just because the people in charge say there are spaces set apart for boys and girls, especially summer camps. At the Huntsville’s Space Camp in Alabama (yes, even Alabama!), the father of a 11-y.o girl sounded alarm when one of the girls called her parents informing them a male camp staff who identifies as transgender was in the girls’ dorm room and made her feel uncomfortable.

The Fifth Circuit ruled Texas can enforce a law requiring age-verification systems on porn websites. In retaliation, Pornhub pulled out of Texas entirely to spite Texas Governor Abbott. To that, we say — Good riddance.
