Very pleased to see that Kate Harris, my wonderful co-founder of @AllianceLGB, has finally come out of the shadows on X. 🎉🎉🎉 Please follow her: @Kathari17674744 She is impatient, often rude, but one of the most brilliant, inspiring people I have ever known. She unleashed — with a little help from me — a global revolution to reclaim gay rights from the gender identity mob.

It is actually pretty outrageous. A team publishes a study purporting to show that “transition” regret is very rare. But since 42.6% of those who received the survey did not respond, the “regret” figures are absolutely worthless. The @washingtonpost evidently has its own agenda and is eager to publish false “regret” figures. Why? To lure more young people down this harmful medical pathway? To give their parents false reassurance? To help the ACLU and other gender identity zealots provide bogus figures in their court cases? Whatever the reason, it’s a disgrace.
Nearly 97 percent of transgender people who received hormone therapy as teenagers did not regret it five years later, a study found. Though some patients did regret medically transitioning, those rates are relatively low compared to other medical interventions. wapo.st/4C44lZp

What about the 42.6% who didn’t respond, @washingtonpost ? Not worth mentioning? You people are such charlatans!

Maddow has a supercilious smile. This site has the facts she denies.
I could absolutely blast this woman with hundreds of examples of boys hurting girls, taking their medals and opportunities, and ruining the athletic experiences for not just "five girls" but for thousands, but honestly, I'm tired, and this isn't about examples or "lack" therof. What this is about is the fundamental question of whether or not girls are allowed to have female only sport. Regardless of whether or not there is only 1 boy participating or 1,000, policies that based sports on "gender identity" give EVERY BOY in the state the RIGHT to participate if he so wishes. What this means is that girls no longer have a RIGHT to participate in female-only competition. Legislating on the question of whether or not girls' sports should exist is not a "fake problem." It is a fundamental policy question that concerns every single girl who participates in sport in this country. Rachel Maddow, ignorant, useful idiot that she appears to be, does not seem to understand this or believe that sports matter for girls in any way, shape, or form.

This little speech by @maddow, in which she describes the successful efforts to protect girls’ sports as “repulsive” and about a “non-existent problem” is one of the best ads for the Republican Party I’ve ever seen. @TheDemocrats for God’s sake get your act together and give these abysmal media characters a different line to take.
Rachel Maddow on the trans-athlete panic: “To invent a fake problem… is pitiful — a sign of profound political weakness — and something that I think has now been exposed as the fantasist, B.S. cop-out that it is.”

A very good analysis of the temper tantrums among activists in Washington about the democratic ballot initiative that didn’t go their way.
Washington voters said YES to protecting girls’ sports. Now TransFamilies, the Washington Education Association, and several parents, represented by the ACLU of Washington, Legal Voice, and Pacifica Law Group, are asking a judge to stop Initiative 638 before it takes effect on December 3. They opposed the measure politically. Voters rejected their position. Now they want the courts to override the public. This is not about bullying anyone. It is about whether girls are allowed to have a sports category that is actually female. Bodies compete, not identities. In this video, I break down who filed the lawsuit, the money and political power behind the opposition, the privacy claims, and why Washington should respect the voters and let this law take effect.

Look at this character talk about “ignorance” and “fear” and quoting small numbers. The ignorance is all on the side of the genderati, who steadfastly refuse to read the dozens of peer reviewed articles proving that males have numerous athletic advantages. Yes, even after years of hormone therapy. That is why women’s and girls’ sports exist. Every male in a female sport is a cheat. You don’t say “oh there’s only a handful of cheats. Let them play with the girls or they will be sad!” No. Not with doping or any other kind of cheating. As for fear: my fear is that the gender madness will erase many of the rights women and LGB people have won over the past century. Plus the terrible damage being done to kids and young people who are being given harmful interventions known euphemistically as “gender affirming care.”
Ignorance pervades transphobia. This stokes fear. Example: the uproar about trans women in sports. But there's never been a transgender person win an Olympic metal. And there are fewer than 10 transgender student-athletes across more than 500,000 total college athletes. Learn!

Amy Hamm is in court again. Remember how they tortured her last time?
#IStandWithAmyHamm Barbara Findlay: I request you use accurate language and not use "trans identified male" when referring to trans women. Amy Hamm: I am using the most accurate language. Barbara Findlay: I want the panel to rule that she can't refer to trans women as men. 1/3

Rachel @maddow has some chutzpah! She constantly rails against the downfall of democracy. But when democratic ballot initiatives go against her beliefs, she calls them authoritarian. What?? Later in this crazy clip — which is not on her own show, where she tries to project a slightly less nutty image these days — she calls the concerns about girls’ sports a non-existent, invented problem and compares it to fake news about microwave ovens falling from the sky. Premature dementia? Protecting income? Or just plain nasty?
This is a masterclass in gaslighting up to and including the claim that wanting men out of women’s sport is “authoritarian”. It is authoritarian for the state to force everyone to accept a blatant lie at the expense of our rights.

Please understand Public sympathy evaporated when it became clear that males were claiming the right to enter female sports, changing rooms, women’s jails etc,, and that activists were demanding “sex change” drugs, hormones and surgeries for minors. When it became clear that gender identity believers were trying to force people to use their language. You can blame TERFs if you want: we organized, spoke and wrote about what was going on. And now the public knows. The public will never accept “gender identity” being prioritized over sex.
This is an awful situation. Terfs have created a hostile environment for trans people. I hope the tide is changing and hopefully a trans inclusive conversation therapy ban will help but I'm left these days trying to cling on to little glimpses of hope. Trans men are men

Maude here is unaware that the term “politically correct” is used as a term of mockery for efforts to compel society to use genderspeak. The grammatically correct term for “trans woman” is “man.” It is true that some people say “biological male” but as others point out, it’s a redundancy.
“Biological male” is not a politically correct term that u can use in place of “trans woman.” The politically correct term would still just be “trans woman.” Yall let TERFs get in ur head and perpetuate their dumbass language without even realizing it.

I confess I used to like @maddow. On political history she is sharp and insightful. But on sex and gender issues she has lost her mind — as has the Democratic leadership. Just listen to this astonishing rant about the clear majority vote in blue states like Washington to keep boys out of girls’ sports. This is a highly-educated, influential lesbian public figure showing utter contempt for the rights of girl athletes and for all who support them — and for democracy itself. Shameful. It makes my blood boil.

Only people who haven’t actually read the draft bill — like regular media comedian Peter Tatchell — support it.
1/ Lord Macdonald KC is a former DPP and senior criminal silk at Matrix chambers. What he says about criminal law should is important and should command respect in Westminster. His assessment of the draconian Conversion Bill is absolutely damning. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11…

Everyone can respond. Don’t forget!
⏰ Only 7 days to go to submit evidence to the Conversion Practices Bill committee. The government’s planned law could put loving parents under criminal investigation for ordinary, responsible parenting. Tell it to think again ⬇️ sex-matters.org/posts/update…

Many Democrats do want fair sports for women and girls.
Since voter initiatives protecting female-only sports passed in several states (including with many YES votes from rank-and-file Democrats), there has been much hand-wringing from people who truly do not think that women and girls deserve female-only sports or spaces (or, really, anything). The passage of those initiatives has also come during a midterm season in which several Democratic candidates for office made simple and straightforward statements to the effect that women and girls deserve female-only sports. None of them backed down in the face of backlash. Each of them won. People who believe in “trans” and “gender identities” are freaking out and behaving accordingly. There’s a reason for this. And it’s not going to get better any time soon. It’s only going to get worse until it’s over. All of this has reminded me of a paid-only podcast episode I did a few weeks ago, titled ‘The death throes of a dying star.” I decided to take the unusual step of unlocking it, so that it’s now freely available and shareable. As always, only paid subscribers can comment. Here's a taste, and the full episode is in the first reply.

Rachel Maddow says trying to keep men out of women’s sports is repulsive and pathetic and a made up issue. Blue state voters in Colorado and Washington, who voted to ban this, disagree. Why can’t Democrats let this issue go?

Quite aside from the meanness (always paraded as “kindness”) of her argument — disrespecting the girls who have fought so hard to protect their sports — she is doing her party no favors. Four Democrats who support women’s and girls’ rights were elected in the midterms, despite efforts by gender identity zealots to discredit them.

Look at this nutty description of the vote in Washington state to protect girls’ sports by, er, restricting it to girls: it’s apparently a “far-right anti-trans ballot initiative.” Washington is a deep blue state, voting in a blue wave. Democracy sucks, huh? These people really need to get out of their bubble.

Does the Labour government really intend to pass a law that creates criminal offences so unclear and open to interpretation that it will be almost impossible for people to know if they are committing one or not. Sounds batshit crazy to me.
Lord Macdonald says the Conversion Practices Bill is "completely contrary to the rule of law" because the bill is so unclear it would be very difficult for parents to know when they're breaking the law and when they’re not breaking the law. #BinTheBill archive.ph/0emua
