Mom Blasts School for Forcing Girls to Change in Front of Boys.

An Illinois mom accused her daughter’s school officials of forcing the 13-year-old and other girls to undress in front of a biological male in the name of “inclusivity.”

The details: Nicole Georgas told a Deerfield District 109 School Board meeting that her daughter came home from Shepard Middle School on February 5 frightened and upset because a boy was in the girls’ bathroom, and school administrators told her it was permitted.

  • The school has separate gender-neutral options for trans-identifying students.

Bad to worse: Georgas said the situation “went from bad to worse” a few days later when the girls made the decision not to change into their phys-ed clothes because the male was present.

  • The school allegedly responded by putting adults in the locker room to ensure all girls were changing into their gym clothes without protest.

Back up: On February 5, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which threatens to withhold federal funding from public schools that allow biological boys into girls’ locker rooms.

The circus comes to town: Georgas’ testimony at the school board meeting was booed by a large audience of transgender activists. Charlie Friedman, a transgender person with a transgender middle schooler, said:

  • “The discomfort or privacy concerns of other students, teachers, or parents are not valid reasons to deny or limit the full and equal use of those facilities based on a student’s gender-related identity.”

…So this transgender parent has a transgender kid. What are the odds? And this pillar of mental stability claims a 13-year-old girl’s right to privacy is “not valid.”

What happens now? Georgas has filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Justice.

Trans Surgeries Increase Mental Health Risks.

A new study of over 100,000 patients raises serious concerns about the mental health effects of “gender-affirming” surgeries—finding higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts among patients.

The details: Researchers at the University of Texas analyzed 107,583 patients diagnosed with gender dysphoria and compared those who had “gender-affirming” surgery with those who had not.

The results were published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine and found:

  • Depression:
    • Males who had surgeries had a 25 percent rate vs. 11.5 percent without
    • Females who had surgeries had a 22.9 percent rate vs. 14.6 percent without
  • Anxiety:
    • Males who had the surgeries had a 12.8 percent rate vs. 2.6 percent without
    • Females who had the surgeries had a 10.5 percent rate vs. 7.1 percent without

Conclusion: The study determined that depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance-use disorders were “significantly higher” among those who had trans surgeries.

Back up: This isn’t the first study to make this connection. Back in April 2024, the National Institutes of Health found that people who had “gender-affirming” surgeries had much higher rates of PTSD, suicide attempts, and suicide.

The last word goes to Jonathan Alpert, a Manhattan-based psychotherapist, who commented on the study, saying:

  • “These findings suggest that surgery alone doesn’t eliminate the complex psychological burdens that stem from societal stigma and personal struggles with identity. In fact, taking a scalpel to treat a psychological disorder can sometimes lead to more issues, as the study results are elucidating.”

CNN Caught Writing Fake ‘Fact Check’ on Trump’s Transgender Mice Claim.

CNN was forced to correct their “fact-check” after the outlet claimed President Donald J. Trump “falsely” stated that $8 million in tax dollars were used to study making mice transgender.

Back up: During President Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday, he rattled off a list of ways the federal government was wasting money, including “Eight million dollars for making mice transgender. This is real.”

CNN fact-check: Shortly after his speech, CNN published a fact-check article, which said Trump “falsely claimed” the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found $8 million for turning mice transgender.

  • The article suggested Trump was erroneously referring to a $477,121 project that gave monkeys estrogen for HIV testing.

The truth: The White House clapped back, providing a fact sheet with six studies funded by the Biden regime’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) “for making mice transgender” that totaled $8,290,053.

  • $3.1 million was spent to determine how to “treat and prevent asthma in cis and transgender women.”
  • $1.2 million was spent to learn how testosterone affects “transgender males” reproductive systems

CNN’s walk-back: The outlet quietly corrected its article, admitting Trump’s statement was “incorrectly characterized as false.”

The last word goes to the Trump White House’s rapid response account on X, which wrote:

  • “The Fake News losers at CNN tried to fact check President Trump… but President Trump was right (as usual).”

USAID Freeze Forces Closure of India’s First Transgender Clinics.

India’s first transgender surgery clinics are closing down after President Donald J. Trump gutted the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), halting American taxpayer cash from funding woke projects across the globe. The closures will impact around 5,000 people who used the three clinics affected in the South Asian country.

The shutdown occurred after a stop-work order from the USAID, which initially funded the clinics, as part of a broader pause on foreign aid instituted by U.S. President Trump. The Mitr Clinics, located in Hyderabad, Kalyan, and Pune, each required an annual budget of approximately three million rupees (~$35,000) and employed around eight staff members.

Despite the halt in funds, organizers received a waiver from USAID permitting them to continue providing certain life-saving services, notably antiretroviral treatment for individuals with HIV. About 10 percent of the clinics’ clientele are infected with HIV. The Indian government announced an investigation into the funding stoppage last week.

The clinics are just the latest woke project to see their funding affected by the USAID freeze as the American public has become informed of the billions spent by the agency overseas. Some projects have included a transgender opera in Colombia and even a food program in Syria for al-Qaeda fighters.

Some foreign lawmakers, including Alternative for Germany (AfD) member of the European Parliament Petr Bystron, have vowed to investigate the extend of USAID’s activities in funding leftist NGOs in their countries.

Trans Activists Storm State Capitol.

Pro-transgender activists stormed the state capitol building in Des Moines, Iowa, on February 27 amid discussions on a bill to scrap gender identity protections. Hundreds of protesters were seen entering the capitol rotunda while holding pro-transgender signs and demanding the bill be scrapped.

The bill was introduced last week and seeks to remove gender identity from the state civil rights code. The legislature, then Democrat-controlled, added it in 2007. The bill will explicitly define gender as male and female, and Republicans in the state argue the change will stop biological males from entering women’s spaces and playing in women’s sports.

A 90-minute hearing took place on Thursday, February 27, but faced repeated delays as pro-trans activists interrupted the proceedings by yelling slogans each time the chamber’s door was opened. State police later blocked off part of the hall outside the hearing in an effort to allow the debate to proceed.

Similar legislation is being advanced by Republicans in Georgia, who want to change hate crime legislation to restrict males from competing in women’s and girls’ sports in colleges and universities. High schools in the state already have a ban in place.

The new changes come after President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order restricting federal funding of sex changes for minors. New orders also restrict federal funds for research or education that promote gender ideology and bodies, including males in female sports.

Gabbard Axes Over 100 NSA Officers for Involvement in Explicit Chatrooms.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is announcing the imminent dismissal of over 100 intelligence community employees connected to a series of sexually explicit and graphic posts regarding sexual fetishes and transgenderism on an intragovernmental server. The individuals—employed by the National Security Administration (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)—engaged in the inappropriate discussions during work hours.

Gabbard notes the severity of the situation, describing it as a significant violation of trust, potentially having national security and blackmail implications. “There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in what is really just an egregious violation of trust,” President Donald J. Trump’s DNI said during an interview yesterday. Gabbard added: “I put out a directive today that they will all be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked.”

On Tuesday, the National Pulse reported that NSA and CIA staff had made a series of posts discussing transgenderism and castration fetishes on a DEI-themed chat channel hosted on an intergovernmental server. The logs, originally obtained by City Journal, show NSA, CIA, and DIA employees discussing polyamory, transgender surgeries, and explicit sexual topics on government time using the NSA’s Intelink messaging platform.

Meanwhile, Gabbard—in a post on X (formerly Twitter)—confirmed that action is being taken against those identified. “Memo sent. We know who they are. Action is underway,” the Trump White House’s Director of National Intelligence wrote.

NSA Staff Chatted About Transgenderism, Castration Fetishes at Work.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is investigating government employees talking about fetishes and transgenderism on official government chat systems at work, highlighting the importance of the Trump administration’s efforts to root out misuse of taxpayer resources.

The details: Chat logs obtained by City Journal show NSA, CIA, and DIA employees discussing polyamory, transgender surgeries, and explicit sexual topics on government time using the NSA’s Intelink messaging platform.

  • Sources claim the discussions were legitimized as part of the agency’s DEI initiatives within LGBTQ+ employee resource groups.

Trans chats: A review of chat logs found employees discussing “male-to-female transgender surgery” and “hair removal, estrogen injections, and the experience of sexual pleasure post-castration.”

NSA source: The employee who provided the chat logs claimed that he had “witnessed hundreds of sexually provocative discussions” take place “mostly on taxpayer time.”

Repercussions? The NSA confirmed the authenticity of the chats and said: “We’re taking action against any and all employees who abused this system.”

Blue State Bill Proposes Jail Time for ‘Misgendering’ Transgenders on Death Certificates.

A bill that mandates the recording of a deceased individual’s gender identity on their death certificate is under discussion in the Colorado state legislature. The bill, sponsored by Democratic state Representatives Karen McCormick and Kyle Brown, as well as state Senator Mike Weissman, introduces a misdemeanor penalty for non-compliance. Under this proposed legislation, anyone who “knowingly and willfully violates” the requirement could face up to 120 days in jail and/or a $750 fine.

The bill stipulates that if there is documentation of a decedent’s gender identity, it must be used to determine the sex recorded on a death certificate. Moreover, if legal name change documentation is presented, the state registrar must update the certificate to reflect the decedent’s legal name. In cases with no official documentation, the individual responsible for managing the remains, such as a family member, can request a change to the certificate before it is finalized.

Critics argue this measure compels speech, with Dr. Travis Morrell, a Colorado physician affiliated with the conservative coalition Do No Harm, describing it as an unprecedented action against scientific truth. Morrell plans to testify at the bill’s hearing, expressing concerns over the inclusion of a misdemeanor penalty.

Other Democrat-led states, such as California, New York, Washington, and Oregon, have enacted similar laws but without criminal penalties. California, for instance, allows for modifications to the gender on death certificates but lacks specific punitive measures for non-compliance.

The bill’s introduction follows former President Donald J. Trump’s recent executive order affirming there are only two genders, rooted in biological sex.

Alleged Leader of Cult of Transgender Killers Found in Backcountry.

Maryland State Police arrested Jack LaSota, a 34-year-old man who identifies as a transgender woman under the alias Andrea Phelps, on Sunday in the state’s western backcountry. The suspected ringleader of the so-called “Zizians,” a transgender terror cult tied to at least five murders nationwide, including the killing of Border Patrol agent David Maland last month, is charged with trespassing, obstructing justice, and illegal weapons possession.

LaSota had been on the run since he skipped a December trial. Previously, he faked his death to duck prosecution and was even declared deceased in San Mateo County, California.

Alongside LaSota, police hauled in Michelle Zajko, another transgender, on similar charges. Both face a bail hearing Tuesday morning in Allegany District Court.

LaSota, who posts deranged ramblings on a blog under the name “Ziz,” styles himself as the cult’s messiah but has dodged direct charges for his followers’ alleged attacks since 2022. Federal authorities accuse alleged cult member Teresa “Milo” Consuelo Youngblut of gunning down Agent Maland in a January shootout near Vermont’s Canadian border. Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt—also transgender—was slain in the firefight. Youngblut has pleaded not guilty.

Zajko is accused of peddling the guns used to kill Maland and is a prime suspect in the 2022 execution-style murders of parents Richard and Rita Zajko.

In November 2022, LaSota lurked at the scene of a savage stabbing in Vallejo, California, where 80-year-old landlord Curtis Lind fought off a mob of squatters—alleged cult affiliates living in vans and box trucks on his property. Lind took a sword to the chest but managed to shoot dead one attacker, Emma Borhanian. He survived the encounter but was killed last month in a second stabbing prosecutors say was a hit to silence his upcoming testimony.

The suspect in Lind’s killing is Maximillian Bentley Snyder, who applied for a marriage license with Youngblut.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents who raided Youngblut’s Toyota Prius found guns, ammunition, a ballistic helmet, night-vision gear, and respirators.

Transgender Teen Charged with Plotting Valentine’s Day School Massacre.

Authorities in Indiana have charged 18-year-old transgender Trinity Shockley, a female who goes by the name “Jamie,” with conspiracy to commit murder and two terrorism-related charges for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at Mooresville High School on Valentine’s Day. Shockley, a senior at the school, is accused of planning to emulate the 2017 Parkland shooting, which killed 17 people. The teen is currently held without bond in Morgan County Jail.

Police reports reveal Shockley’s fixation on Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, including a disturbing romantic obsession. Shockley confessed to a school counselor about being sexually attracted to Cruz, expressing desires to have children with him and even naming them. The teen wore a heart locket necklace containing Cruz’s photo and had a bedroom wall covered with images of mass shooters, including Cruz, Dylann Roof, and Randy Stair. Notebooks found in Shockley’s backpack contained violent phrases like “kill” and “I hate you all DIE DIE DIE.”

The plot came to light after an anonymous tipster reported that Shockley had access to an AR-15 rifle, had ordered a bulletproof vest, and admired Cruz. Discord messages allegedly sent by Shockley detailed plans for the shooting, including targeting their best friend, with one message stating, “Parkland part two. I’ve been planning this for a YEAR.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) traced the messages to Shockley and alerted local authorities.

Police Chief Kerry Buckner expressed shock, noting, “Nothing ever happens in Mooresville. It’s a small town. To think somebody was plotting to hurt a lot of individuals, kids, future leaders of this country, is pretty disturbing.”

A search of Shockley’s home uncovered AR-15 magazines, .40 caliber bullets, and a soft armor vest in their father’s room, though it’s unclear if Shockley had access to a firearm.
