Yesterday (12/20/24), Biden’s Department of Education withdrew a rule change to Title IX regarding allowing students to play school sports based on gender instead of sex. The intent of the Athletics NPRM was to “propose a regulatory standard under Title IX that would govern a recipient’s adoption or application of sex-related criteria that would limit … Read more
One of the unholy truths about the linguistic mind game that surrounds gender-bending ethics is that immutable, observable, physical characteristics, with genetic markers down to the cellular level, are a social construct, while progressive ideas about them are not. It sounds silly because it is, but this fiction comes with certain amusing contradictions. You can’t … Read more
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in this term’s marquee case, United States v. Skrmetti. The case, out of Tennessee, nominally involves a state law banning minors’ use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for purposes of so-called gender-affirming care — which, stripped of all euphemism, means genital mutilation and chemical castration. And the … Read more
One of the libertarian facets of my conservatarianism is that I don’t much give a damn what adults do to themselves or each other (consensually). I have reasonable doubts about some of the behaviors. I don’t think humans are equipped to manage any number of drugs were they to be made legal (or not illegal) … Read more
During arguments at the US Supreme Court case United States v. Skrmetti on December 4, ACLU attorney Chase Strangio admitted that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries do nothing to reduce suicide among trans-identified youth.

New Hampshire passed a law that sorts students in school sports by biological sex. Two students who are boys and identify as girls were given a legal exception as part of their lawsuit against the state, claiming that the bill is discriminatory. Regular readers will know well that they are not the only ones playing … Read more
One of the inconvenient truths of the Transgender Agenda is that before you can be transgender, you have to be a boy. Those are the rules I’ve read. The Gaystapo/Rainbow Mafia has been quite clear about this. You have to be born into a boy’s body. A girl can’t identify as a transgirl; that would … Read more
British journalist Piers Morgan and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on Friday debated whether sports should be divided by sex. Morgan, on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” revisited a November exchange between Tyson and comedian Bill Maher, in which Maher criticized the astrophysicist for not acknowledging the differences between men and women in sports. The journalist played a clip from the earlier … Read more
A Tennessee law banning the drugging and surgical mutilation of children (doing business as gender-affirming care) has gotten a lot of support from the other side during oral arguments. The lawyers representing the side trying to get the law tossed out didn’t arrive at the Big School prepared to answer the hard questions. The ones … Read more
Remember Seth Moulton? He of the church of the sudden change of heart. The Massachusetts Congressman did a complete 180 from pro-trans sports to keep the boys off the girls’ teams and his fellow Democrats have been howling ever since. It reminds me of how NH Dems responded to local Democrat Jonah Wheeler when he … Read more
I traveled around the country as an elite swimmer for more than a decade, and I could never have imagined a world where men would be welcomed into the female-only bathrooms and locker rooms I used. I instinctively knew that separate spaces were for my privacy and protection. But as I have shared my own … Read more
Any minute now, the same metoo movement that ignored Joe Biden’s sexual assault of Democrat Tara Reade and Kamala’s abusive cheating man-wife will lash out in defense of women at this latest outrage. Kidding! They can’t! There’d be too much outrage, so what’s the trouble? Transport Police in the UK have been granted permission for … Read more
Transgender ideology has made its way to the halls of Congress. For anyone who has been in the fight against the gender cult long enough, it was obvious that it would only be a matter of time before it came knocking on their door. Like most cults, it’s a cancer that spreads slowly at first, but if … Read more
What are the worst things a public school COULD do these days? Some parents are suggesting that the Kearsage School District in New Hampshire is responsible for traumatizing their kids AND the students of other nearby schools. They knew many of their soccer players were uncomfortable with a biological male joining their girl’s soccer team, … Read more
Over the weekend, a Massachusetts Democrat got some earned media and national attention for speaking out about boys playing in girls’ sports. If that’s your hot-button issue, you will want to hear this. Seth Moulton is a congressman from the 6th district in Massachusetts, declared, post-November 5th, that his party is out of touch. “I … Read more
Hat tip out of the gate to Brian Lewis (Grok: Words Mean Things Oct 23rd ) for subscribing to my Substack and, in doing so, allowing me to follow him and find this – a different Substack called The Radical Center, and this content in particular: Transphobia is a False Premise. It’s an excellent read, and … Read more
I apologize for dragging this topic out again so soon, but my home state has been getting a lot of “love” in the media (national and international) over the girl’s sports transgender athlete state law pedophile dad thing. Violating bail restrictions, Girls and coaches refusing to play the team with the dude on it. It has kept the topic at the … Read more
I like to remind people that the alleged gender dysphoria mental health crisis is, like most of the chaos these days, a product of deliberate action by interested parties. If Schools, Librarians (and parents desperate for attention from progressive peers) left the kids alone and stopped obsessing over sex and gender in general, most or … Read more
The White Mountain Regional School District (WMRSD) has some issues. If this is accurate, most of the kids can’t read or do math at grade level, and the district wastes a lot of money not teaching them. That’s a more common curriculum choice than most parents and taxpayers realize. And hey, people who can’t do … Read more
Biology Matters, After All! We’ve got a gender-bending soap opera well underway in the Granite State. Our socially progressive Republican Governor signed a bill into law over the summer (HB1205) separating school sports biologically as Title IX intended but vetoed a companion bill that would have secured girls’ and women’s safe spaces. Together, they’d have … Read more
