American children may be able to purchase cross-sex hormones for “gender transition” online from foreign and domestic pharmacies without prescriptions, according to a new report from medical watchdog Do No Harm. Online pharmacies have a remarkable lack of safeguards, according to the report, including not requiring age verification or a prescription before payment.

James Talarico, the Democratic nominee hoping to succeed Republican John Cornyn in the U.S. Senate, routinely concern-mongers about traditional Christian views and their influence on American society.
For instance, Talarico stressed during his recent interview with CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert the supposed need to confront "Christian nationalism" — a catchall term he and other radicals use to describe their ideological foes who also happen to be Christian in a nation almost entirely founded by Christians and where today over six in 10 adults are Christian.
The hypocrisy of Talarico's criticism was highlighted in an excerpt of one of his sermons that resurfaced this week.
'Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy.'
Talarico — a part-time Presbyterian seminarian who has attempted to use scripture to justify abortion, protested the public display of the Ten Commandments, voted against sparing kids from sex-rejection mutilations, and claimed there are six sexes — discussed the separation of church and state during a sermon at his home church on June 30, 2024.
After criticizing those on the Christian right for supposedly politicizing their faith, Talarico effectively admitted he does the same thing.
"My faith in Jesus leads me to reject Christian nationalism and commit myself to the project of a multiracial, multicultural democracy where we can all freely love God and fully love our neighbors," said the Democrat.
"My politics grows out of my faith."

"Democracy is a Christian value, and Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy," added Talarico, fretting that some of the Christian Americans with whom he disagrees seek, in Jesus' name, to ban homosexual "marriage" and the slaying of unborn babies.
Talarico stated in the portion of the sermon that has gone viral, "It's been said before that when fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross. Christian nationalists use Christianity to protect their own social, political, and economic power."
The X account for the National Republican Senatorial Committee noted that Talarico made these remarks while standing in front of a cross wrapped in a so-called "Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag," complete with the purple "intersex" symbol. While waging lawfare against traditional Christians, the previous administration hoisted the same colors at home and abroad.
Second Amendment activist and leftist-protest survivor Kyle Rittenhouse commented, "Bro just outted himself."
The same excerpt from Talarico's sermon was shared unironically in 2024 by the Austin chapter of the LGBT activist group Human Rights Campaign, a group that has advocated for policies that infringe upon the religious liberties of Christians and Christian groups.

Judge delivers bad news for ladies who sued to keep trans-identifying driver's licenses, use men's restrooms
A pair of trans-identifying women enjoying the support of the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit last month in hopes of forcing Kansas to indulge their delusions by letting them use men's restrooms and false sex markers on state-issued IDs.
'This bill protects girls and women.'
Rather than oblige the plaintiffs in thwarting the will of voters as expressed by supermajorities in both chambers of the Kansas legislature, a state judge denied the women's most pressing request on Tuesday.
The bill, the veto, the law
Kansas Republicans passed a bill earlier this year requiring the designation of restrooms and locker rooms in public buildings for use by only one sex and mandating certain official state-issued documents to reflect the ID-holder's actual sex.
This, of course, enraged radical LGBT activists such as Kansas state Rep. Abi Boatman (D), a man pretending to be a woman, who suggested that the reality-affirming bill was dehumanizing; Human Rights Campaign president Kelley Robinson, who called the bill an act of "cruelty"; and Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly, who vetoed the bill last month.
Kelly's veto proved fruitless as the state Senate overrode it in a 31-9 vote on Feb. 17. Their Republican colleagues in the state House followed suit the next day in a decisive 87-37 vote.
The governor bemoaned the override, claiming that "this is a poorly drafted bill with significant, far-reaching consequences."
State Rep. Carolyn Caiharr (R), among those who voted to override the veto, stated, "Our young women deserve to have restrooms and locker rooms where they can undress without men in the room. This bill protects girls and women, the ones feminists used to claim to stand for," reported the Kansas Reflector.
Kansas House Speaker Dan Hawkins (R) stated, "This isn’t about scoring political points, but doing what’s right for women and girls across our communities."
The new law took effect once it was published in the register on Feb. 26, resulting in the invalidation of roughly 1,700 driver's licenses and 1,800 birth certificates.
The lawsuit
A pair of trans-identifying women represented by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on Feb. 26, alleging that the law "violates the Kansas Constitution’s guarantees of personal autonomy, privacy, equality under the law, due process, and free expression. It also violates the Kansas Constitution’s single-subject and clear title requirements."
The lawsuit claimed that the two biological women, identified by the pseudonyms Daniel Doe and Matthew Moe, would suffer harm "because they will not be able to utilize a driver’s license with their correct gender marker or access public restrooms that accord with their gender identity."
The trans-identifying ladies requested that Douglas County District Judge James McCabria block and declare the new law both unconstitutional and unenforceable.
The response
Judge McCabria refused on Tuesday to grant the women a temporary restraining order against the law while their case proceeds, writing, "A court that is too quick to assume too much about the facts or possible impacts of a law risks the appearance of either political bias or a lack of appreciation for the value and importance of the full, fair deliberative process in such circumstances."
The judge apparently didn't buy the plaintiffs' claim that they may face "reprisal by employers and acquaintances that may not know their biological gender but learn of it by forced use of assigned restrooms or incidental disclosure by use of their identification documents."
McCabria declined "the invitation to presume" that every employer or acquaintance would in every instance respond to the discovery of the women's true sex with harassment or disfavor. He also rejected the assumption that "every restroom visit is fraught with the potential for violence or embarrassment if this law is not immediately suspended."
The judge directed the parties involved in the case to appear in court later this month.
Harper Seldin, an attorney for the ACLU's LGBTQ & HIV Project, stated, "This is a devastating, but hopefully temporary, setback for our clients and transgender people across the state of Kansas."
Although the law merely prevents individuals from carrying untruthful driver's licenses and invading private spaces intended for members of the opposite sex, Seldin claimed it threatens trans-identifying individuals' "ability to hold a job, go to school, or go about their daily lives."

Brazil Threatens Citizens With Years In Prison For Saying Men Aren’t Women
Isadora Borges, a Brazilian veterinary student, faced trial last month for a post stating 'trans women are not women.'Major win for parents: Supreme Court bans schools from transitioning students in secret
The Supreme Court has granted a request from a group of California parents to reinstate a ruling that bans schools from hiding “children’s gender presentation” from them — and forces them to follow the parents' instructions regarding the names and pronouns the children use.
BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey counts this as a win.
“Parents should absolutely know if their child is going by different pronouns or declaring that they are a boy at school. Right now in California, a student can go to school, say that ‘I want to transition to the opposite sex,’ and the student doesn’t have to notify parents,” she explains.
“They can socially transition that child. They can also get that child to a particular professional that will help them get the psychiatric care and the different medical treatments that they are seeking in order to look like the opposite sex,” she says.
Stuckey recalls a case out of California concerning Abigail Martinez, who lost custody of her teenage daughter Yaeli because she refused to support her transition.
Yaeli was placed in a group home, and a judge ruled that she could begin cross-sex hormones — but Yaeli took her own life.
“That’s what happens when you remove kids from the homes of parents who simply want what is best for their kids,” Stuckey says.
“You’ve got people framing this as, like, ‘Oh, it’s protection from abuse when the school won’t inform the parents of what’s really going on.’ The opposite is true. No one cares about your child the way that you do. No one knows your child the way that you do. The school does not care if your child lives or dies,” she continues.
However, while Stuckey is pleased with the ruling, she points out that it was only ruled unconstitutional because of the parental rights aspect, and there’s a long way to go before all of it is “completely illegal and stigmatized and criminalized.”
“You should actually go to prison if you are calling a child by the wrong, non-biological pronoun and encouraging them to change sexes,” Stuckey says.
“The Supreme Court is not where they need to be in understanding what is actually driving this gender deception among kids. It’s not genuine gender dysphoria,” she continues.
“It is pornography. It is propaganda. It is sexual perversion and even sexual abuse that’s going on. It has very little to do with gender dysphoria. So we’re not yet to the root of all of this in driving this out legally and ideologically, but this absolutely is a win for parents,” she adds.
