‘Transphobic’ accusations are back: Title IX ruling RUINS trans agenda



President Donald Trump has rolled back a Biden-era initiative through Title IX, giving athletic departments clarity on paying players and suggesting that schools don’t have to share money equally between men’s and women’s sports.

The move has outraged those on the left, who are calling it “trans hate.”

“Every single person who is about ‘protecting women’s sports’ should be speaking out against this; otherwise they’re outing themselves as a transphobe. There is no other way to read this. You either believe in women’s sports or you don’t. It’s not a convenience thing,” journalist Rachel Doerrie posted on X.


Doerrie wasn’t the only one, as Jemele Hill also chimed in.

“Can’t wait to see how many of those ‘protect women’s sports’ folks speak up about this. Or did they use up all their energy demonizing trans athletes?” Hill posted on X.

“So this is about trans athletes, according to these Jemele Hill types, and there’s some sort of hypocrisy among those of us that are like, ‘Hey, we don’t want little boys or little men participating in women’s sports; we want to protect that lane for women,’” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments, unamused.

“Now, if we don’t want to spend the exact same amount of money on a volleyball player who generates no money for the university, as opposed to the star quarterback who helps generate millions of dollars for the universities, we’re somehow out of line, out of step. We’re transphobic,” he continues.

“I don’t buy any of it. I’m not a big believer in Title IX. We’re forcing this whole deal of women into sports. They just don’t have the same amount of interest that men do, period. End of story,” he adds.

'Real women? That's transphobic': Protester defends the idea of identifying as a cat outside Riley Gaines event in Alabama



A pro-transgender college student defaced an event poster for an appearance by activist Riley Gaines and argued that it was "transphobic" to use the phrase "real women."

Kiegan Nangle, a University of Alabama student and correspondent for outlet Campus Reform, posted the signage ahead of the Gaines event.

The event, titled "Reclaim Feminism," was hosted by Young Women for America, of which Nangle is the president of her chapter.

"Riley Gaines speaks about her experience swimming at the University of Kentucky and her role now advocating for women’s sports," the event's description read.

The activist group's advertisement was later ruined by a student pouring soda on it. The student expressed to Nangle and her colleague that the poster's text contained potentially "transphobic" language.

A video of the interaction between the two women and the unidentified student picked up with the soda vandal defending the idea that a person can identify as a cat.

"So can I identify as a cat if I wake up and feel like it?" Nangle asked, according to Campus Reform.

"You absolutely can 'cause that's not a f**king gender," the student replied.

Nangle and the student argued whether gender was dictated by God, until the student — still wielding the soda can — declared that the usage of the term "real women" was offensive.

"Real women? Real women?! That's transphobic!"

"That's your opinion you are entitled to that," Nangle replied. "But please don't destroy our free speech in the making."

"Free speech protects you from the government, not from a bottle of Dr. Pib," the unnamed Alabama student retorted. "Don't put transphobic f**king s**t on the ground if you don't want it to be torn up."

"Free speech is not going to protect you from a bottle of Dr. Pib and the s**t you put on the ground. 'Real women,' that's transphobic," the soda advocate continued.

After Nangle and her colleague expressed that they had permission from the university to post their signage, the student vowed to destroy every "piece of transphobic piece of garbage" that was put on campus.

The student also noted that the school has made statements "about diversity" and that "everybody here is equal" and the school wouldn't wanted want "transphobic s**t on the ground" because it is in support of diversity.

"It's not transphobia, it's science, it's real, and if you want to ask questions about it —" Nangle stated, before she was interrupted by the student's philosophical question:

"What is real?"

Before the two sides parted ways, the student was invited to hear what former NCAA swimmer Gaines had experienced, to which the student argued that "trans women" have experienced much worse.

Gaines noted on X that she had also been protested by a "furry," a term typically used to describe a person who enjoys excessively dressing in complex costumes that look like cartoon animals.

Clown world \ud83e\udd21\ud83c\udf0e\n\nI also got protested by this furry. Is this supposed to be intimidating?\ud83d\ude02

Dana White smacks down question over Sean Strickland's comments, schools reporter on the importance of free speech



Dana White masterfully shot down a reporter's question regarding the explosive comments recently made by UFC fighter Sean Strickland. The UFC boss then promptly schooled the reporter on the importance of free speech.

During a press conference in Canada on Wednesday, Strickland lambasted a reporter over the choice of questions that had nothing to do with sports.

The reporter rehashed a tweet that Strickland made in 2021 that read: "If I had a gay son I would think I failed as a man to create such weakness..... If I had a wh*re for a daughter I'd think she just wanted to be like her dad lol!"

Minutes after the initial tweet, Strickland jokingly clarified his comment by saying: "LISTEN gay men are great, I support them and their choices. Freedom! Gay guys have it made. Most gay guys I know are always happy. They all just get to hang with buddies all day and have sex.. us straight men, we're f***ed... we gotta do some serious work to get laid. Not fair."

The Canadian reporter noted that Toronto has a "pretty supportive gay and lesbian community." The reporter also touched on the Bud Light scandal and transphobia.

Strickland went on a rant about Canada and the reporter.

"Well then you’re a weak f***ing man," Strickland lashed out. "You’re part of the f***ing problem. You elected Justin Trudeau. When he seized the bank accounts, like you’re just f***ing pathetic. The fact that you have no f***ing backbone and as he shut down your f***ing country and seized bank accounts, you ask me some stupid s**t like that. Go f*** yourself. Move the f*** on man."

Strickland declared that he "liked the f***ing gays," and that he doesn't "give a f*** who you f***." However, the UFC middleweight fighter said he has a problem with children being taught about sexual topics in school.

On Saturday, Strickland would lose the middleweight championship bout to Dricus Du Plessis at the UFC 297 event in Toronto, Canada.

Following the UFC 297 event, Dana White was asked about Strickland's comments by a reporter during the post-fight press conference.

White said Strickland was "baited" with the question.

He added, "I don't try to control any other human being in any way, shape, or form."

The reporter asked White, “You obviously give a long leash to your fighters about, you know, what they can say when they are up there with a UFC microphone, and you are getting into territory of, like, homophobia, transphobia... Is there," and then White cut him off.

White declared, "I don’t give anybody a leash. A leash? Free speech. Control what people say? Going to tell people what to believe? Going to tell people…I don’t f***ing tell any other human being what to say, what to think. There’s no leashes on any of them."

"That’s ridiculous to say I give somebody a leash. Free speech, brother," White continued. "People can say whatever they want and they can believe whatever they want. And I don’t think there’s any…we had two gay women who fought in the co-main event. They sat on the stage with Sean Strickland. They could give a s**t what Sean Strickland thinks, or what he says, or what his beliefs are, or what his opinions are.”

White was referencing UFC fighters Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva – both of whom are gay.

Doddering Doofus from Delaware | 12/6/23

WATCH: AOC slams the door in Libs of TikTok’s face for asking a simple question



For those who don’t know, Chaya Raichik is the face behind the TikTok account called Libs of TikTok. Her account is dedicated to what the mainstream media dismisses as right-wing extremism, hate speech, and transphobia. Decide for yourself what you think of Chaya’s content, but her questions regarding Israel and Hamas are totally valid.

Dave Rubin, for one, admires Chaya, calling her “one good person who’s out there fighting.”

He plays a clip of the influencer “[confronting] some of the people from our Hamas caucus,” including AOC, and let’s just say it confirms everything we already knew about the New York rep.

“Hey, can I grab a photo with you?” Chaya asked AOC, who responded amicably.

Until she saw who it was; then her tone (and direction) took a 180 degree turn.

AOC immediately wheeled around in the opposite direction, stalking away from Chaya, who trailed her persistently.

“When you told me you never wanted to share a space with me, is it because you're part of the Hamas caucus and I'm Jewish?” Chaya boldly asked, referencing a comment AOC made in the past.

“No, it’s because you’re a transphobe,” AOC retorted. “I have to go.”

“Oh, are you heading to a Hamas caucus meeting?” Chaya fired back. “What do you say to the families of Americans who are currently being held hostage by Hamas? Does the Hamas caucus have a statement about it?”

But, of course, AOC couldn’t bring herself to even acknowledge the tragedy of Americans caught in the crossfires of Israel and Hamas.

Her only response was to slam the door in Chaya’s face.

“They seem incapable of condemning people who literally put children into ovens,” says Dave Rubin in disbelief.

However, there is “a silver lining.”

“The revolution will eat her the way the revolution is eating Bernie Sanders, who's largely irrelevant,” he assures.

Transphobia: Non-Binary Gets KICKED Out of Gay Bar

Transphobia: Non-Binary Gets KICKED Out of Gay Bar

VIRAL: Non-binary gets kicked out of gay bar and then SOBS HYSTERICALLY on TikTok



Apparently not all gay bars cater to the alphabet mafia. Who knew?

One such bar decided it was not going to play the pronoun game when a non-binary patron called out the bartender for referring to her (at least we think it's a her) and her wife as “ladies.” The two were quickly escorted out of the bar.

But the aftermath is where it gets really juicy.

The one who looks like a biological woman on all fronts then filmed a TikTok that “broke the internet” with its virality.

Sobbing hysterically, she recounts the so-called horror of her experience.

“Basically I was just getting a drink at the bar and they called both Azul and I ladies,” she wails. “I was like some people don’t refer to themselves as ladies, but it’s okay that you didn’t know.”

“I’m at a gay bar so we should feel safe,” she sobs into the camera.

Pat Gray is so taken aback by the absurdity that he wonders if the video is a joke.

“Oh, this is totally serious,” says Keith Malinak before resuming the video.

“They took the drink away from my wife and I … and then they kicked us out,” she bawls. “I felt brave enough to tell somebody my identity.”

Of course the couple blames the entire ordeal on the other patrons of the bar – “white men.”

We’re so shocked.

“Good job by the guy … running the bar there, saying 'get out,'” says Keith.

Amen to that.

John Cleese refuses to remove 'Life of Brian' joke about a man becoming a woman and having a baby that critics call 'transphobic'



John Cleese refused to bend the knee to the outrage mob who called for a joke to be removed from an upcoming stage version of Monty Python’s "Life Of Brian." The controversial scene features a man claiming that he is a woman and he can have a baby.

Cleese is working on a stage production of Monty Python's "Life of Brian," a 1979 movie about a man who is mistaken for Jesus Christ. However, actors allegedly told Cleese that one scene would need to be cut out of the reproduction for it not to be offensive in today's social environment.

The scene in question features a character named "Stan" – who wants to become a woman and have babies.

"I want to be a woman," Stan declares. "From now on, I want you all to call me Loretta."

Cleese's character Reg bewilderedly asked, "What?"

Stan fires back, "It's my right as a man."

When asked why he wants to be a woman, Stan explains, "I want to have babies."

Reg quizzically replies, "You want to have babies?"

Stan shoots back, "It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them."

When Reg informs Stan that he "can't have babies," Stan plays the victim, "Don't you oppress me."

Cleese's character notes, "I’m not oppressing you, Stan, you haven’t got a womb. Where’s the fetus going to gestate? You gonna keep it in a box?"

Other characters agree that Stan can't have babies, but argue that he should have the "right to have babies."

Reg responds, "What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?"

Another character says, "It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression."

Reg quips that Stan has a "struggle with reality" for thinking he can give birth to a baby.

Monty Python - "Loretta" www.youtube.com

Critics claim the scene in the movie from 44 years ago is "transphobic."

Despite the controversy, Cleese confirmed that he would not be removing the questionable scene from the upcoming stage show of "Life of Brian."

Cleese wrote on Twitter, "A few days ago I spoke to an audience outside London. I told them I was adapting the Life of Brian so that we could do it as a stage show ( NOT a musical ). I said that we'd had a table reading of the latest draft in NYC a year ago and that all the actors – several of them Tony winners – had advised me strongly to cut the Loretta scene. I have, of course, no intention of doing so."

Cleese slammed the media for "misreporting" him about cutting the Loretta scene from the new version, "Amazingly none of the British media called to check."

Cleese said of the actors in the upcoming production, "These were absolutely top-class Broadway performers and they were adamant that we would not get away with doing the scene in NYC! I asked them, 'Are Python fans not going to come because we're doing a scene they've been laughing at for 40 years.'"

The Monty Python comedian said, "Producers tend to be scaredy-cats, and they don't remember that the protests in NYC when 'Brian' was released meant we never needed to do publicity!"

Lia Thomas calls his female critics 'fake feminists' in conversation comparing treatment of men in women's sports with historic mistreatment of black people



Lia Thomas suggested on a recent podcast that women whose support for so-called "trans women" is conditional are "fake feminists" and cast his critics as bigots. He further stressed that real feminists should be interested in breaking down "patriarchal ideals of what a woman is," especially if those ideals link womanhood to biology.

Schuyler Bailar, the transvestite athlete who hosted the podcast on which Thomas appeared, raised the matter of a February 2022 letter written by Olympic champion Nancy Hogshead-Makar to the University of Pennsylvania and the Ivy League on behalf of 16 members of the school's female swim team.

The letter asked that the school not challenge the NCAA's new transgender athlete participation policies, as they would exclude men who experienced puberty, such as Lia Thomas, from competing against women in the March NCAA championships, reported CNN.

"We fully support Lia Thomas in her decision to affirm her gender identity and to transition from a man to a woman. Lia has every right to live her life authentically," said the letter.

It went on to say, "However, we also recognize that when it comes to sports competition, that the biology of sex is a separate issue from someone’s gender identity. Biologically, Lia holds an unfair advantage over competition in the women’s category, as evidenced by her rankings that have bounced from #462 as a male to #1 as a female."

Thomas spoke on "Dear Schuyler" to the letter, saying it is "frustrating in the regard that they're like, 'oh we respect Lia as a woman, as a trans woman, whatever, we respect her identity, we just don't think it's fair.' And I think you can't really have that sort of half support where you're like 'oh, I respect you as a woman here but not here.'"

"You can't do that, you can't sort of break down me as a person into little pieces," added the former male athlete.

Bailar noted that the fight to protect women's sports has become a big movement, executed "under the guise of feminism. Oh, we're just feminists. We're just fighting for women."

Thomas agreed, later saying, "They're using the guise of feminism to sort of push transphobic beliefs. I think a lot of people in that camp sort of carry an implicit bias against trans people, but don’t want to, I guess, fully manifest or speak that out. And so they try to just play it off as this sort of half-support."

After arguing that feminists who sought to keep men out of women's sports were ideologically incoherent, Bailar likened the corresponding claim of seeking fairness on the basis of sex to the ambivalence of racists about black women competing in sports.

"Please tell me why are all these women, you know, in tears? Why are they crying? What is the pain that trans women are causing them? And the answer was something about opportunities being taken away," said Bailar, adding, "It was the same exact arguments that came up when black women began to be in sports. ... You don't want a woman who doesn't look like you, perhaps, or who is fitting your version of womanhood to win."

Thomas, having ostensibly agreed with Bailar's remarks, suggested that "transphobia in sports" should be contextualized more broadly in "patriarchal ideals of what a woman is and who can be a woman."

The Independent Council on Women’s Sports responded to the podcast, tweeting, "We agree with Lia Thomas on one thing: 'You can't really have that sort of half-support.' We do not in ANY way support the injustice of male participation in women's sports. We are all in for female athletes. Not half. ALL in."

\u201cWe agree with Lia Thomas on one thing:\n\u201cYou can\u2019t really have that sort of half-support\u201d\n\nWe do not in ANY way support the injustice of male participation in women\u2019s sports. We are all in for female athletes. Not half. ALL in.\u201d
— ICONS Women (@ICONS Women) 1682486917

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) wrote, "There is nothing anti-feminist about saying that Lia Thomas, a man, should not be participating in sports with women. Feminists, and all women, should be outraged that a MAN has the nerve to tell them how they should feel about him invading their spaces and sports competitions."

"What a joke," wrote Piers Morgan. "There's nothing more 'anti-feminist' than trans athletes like Lia Thomas using the massive advantages of their male biology to beat women at sport."

TheBlaze previously reported Thomas was a middling performer on the University of Pennsylvania men's swimming team until he starting taking hormones in 2019 and competing against women.

He went onto crush records set by females in the 500-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA championships and tie with All-American all-female swim star Riley Gaines for fifth last April in the women's 200-meter. According to Gaines, it was around that time Thomas exposed his male genitalia in a women's locker room.
