Irish Voters Defeat Leftist Referendum To Remove ‘Mother’ From Constitution
All who believe in the importance of marriage and family should thank Irish voters for decisively rejecting this referendum.All who believe in the importance of marriage and family should thank Irish voters for decisively rejecting this referendum.'This kind of hatred is violence': Lady Gaga appalled at backlash for photo with Dylan Mulvaney on Women's Day
Singer and actress Lady Gaga claimed that she was the target of violence after she received negative reactions online to photos with gender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
The singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, was featured in a series of images and a video on the pseudo-holiday International Women's Day alongside Mulvaney, a man.
Mulvaney is of course infamous for his role in the Bud Light marketing fiasco that featured the activist in a bathtub with cans of the beer, which cost the brand billions of dollars in market share.
Of course, not only did the singer not see an issue with celebrating a man on a day meant for women, but she labeled any contentiousness from audiences as "hatred" and "violence."
"It’s appalling to me that a post about National Women’s Day by Dylan Mulvaney and me would be met with such vitriol and hatred," Germanotta wrote on her Instagram. "When I see a newspaper reporting on hatred but calling it 'backlash' I feel it is important to clarify that hatred is hatred, and this kind of hatred is violence. 'Backlash' would imply that people who love or respect Dylan and me didn’t like something we did. This is not backlash. This is hatred."
The singer then claimed that society had more work to do to support transgender people, claiming that they lead the way despite facing different types of "violence," such as "mental violence."
"It is not surprising given the immense work that it’s obvious we still have to do as a society to make room for transgender lives to be cherished and upheld by all of us. I feel very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence."
Lady Gaga then seemed to imply that men who believe they are women are indeed women and should be celebrated as such.
"I certainly do not speak for this community, but I have something to say. I hope all women will come together to honor us ALL for International Women’s Day, and may we do that always until THE DAY that all women are celebrated equally. That all people are celebrated equally. A day where people of all gender identities are celebrated on whichever holiday speaks to them. Because people of all gender identities and races deserve peace and dignity," she continued.
"May we all come together and be loving, accepting, warm, welcoming. May we all stand and honor the complexity and challenge of trans life — that we do not know, but can seek to understand and have compassion for. I love people too much to allow hatred to be referred to as 'backlash.' People deserve better," the artist concluded.
Of course, many women in the media were not happy about this.
"They always find a way to label truth as hatred. Lady Gaga chose to highlight a man on a day meant for women. That’s a fact. It’s not 'hatred,'" commentator Amala Ekpunobi remarked on X.

"Stating a biological fact is not hatred ma’am," said writer Natasha Biase.

'Why can't I identify as a black lesbian?' Piers Morgan highlights the absurdity of radical gender ideology
Highlighting the absurdity of the notion that biological men can simply declare themselves to be women, British media personality Piers Morgan, a white man, asked why he can't identify as a black lesbian.
He made the comment while sparring with Angelica Malin, a television commentator and author, on "Piers Morgan Uncensored." Malin argued that those who would like to be a woman may self-identify as a woman.
"Why can't I identify as a black lesbian?" Morgan asked.
Malin seemed to indicate that Morgan's suggestion would take the issue to an "absurd status."
But Morgan argued that the door to the absurd is already open, explaining that "by saying it is limitless ... Anyone can say, 'I'm a woman.' So I simply ask you, why can't I?"
Malin pushed back, claiming that the argument "ridicules trans people."
But Morgan contended that her position ridicules transgender people. He said that while he has respect for individuals who undergo sex-change surgeries, he does not respect those who simply declare themselves to be women and then insist on getting women's rights and the ability to destroy female competitors in athletic events.
Morgan has previously highlighted the absurdity by suggesting that he identifies as a "two-spirit penguin."
"Happy International Women's Day. I am a woman," Morgan mocked at the conclusion of the segment.

Radical, leftist gender ideology proponents beclowned themselves on Wednesday by insisting on the inclusion of transgender women while marking International Women's Day. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs both declared that "trans women are women." And during an International Women of Courage Award ceremony at the White House, one of the honorees was a transgender woman.

Oh boy: Trudeau and other leftists offer the message you'd expect from them on International Women's Day
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared that "trans women are women" in a statement celebrating International Women's Day.
In point of fact, transgender women are biological men who identify as women — but that has not stopped the proponents of radical, leftist gender ideology from repeating the preposterous claim that transgender women are women.
"As we mark International Women's Day, we celebrate and recognize the achievements of women and girls in Canada and reaffirm our commitment to removing systemic barriers to advance gender equality in Canada and around the world," Trudeau said in the statement. "With a disturbing recent rise in anti-transgender hate here in Canada, we reiterate today that trans women are women and we will always stand up to hate whenever and wherever it occurs."
\u201cAnd with a disturbing rise in anti-transgender hate here in Canada and around the world recently, I want to be very clear about one more thing: Trans women are women. We will always stand up to this hate \u2013 whenever and wherever it occurs.\u201d— Justin Trudeau (@Justin Trudeau) 1678284140
But Trudeau was not the only leftist to include biological men while celebrating women.
The Biden administration honored a transgender woman at the International Women of Courage Award ceremony at the White House on Wednesday. One of the award recipients was Alba Rueda, who, according to the U.S. State Department, is the special envoy for sexual orientation and gender identity in Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and First Lady Jill Biden participated in the ceremony.
"On this International Women's Day I want to make it clear that trans women are women, they are welcome here, and any bill that harasses or threatens their safety will swiftly meet my veto stamp," Democratic Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs said in a tweet.
Democratic Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri marked the day by tweeting, "Wishing a happy International Women’s Day to all women – cis, trans, femme, and non-binary folks celebrating today."
The ACLU of Indiana claimed that celebration of International Women's Day includes supporting transgender women.
\u201cCelebrating International Women's Day means supporting:\n\n\u270a\ud83c\udfff Trans women\n\u270a\ud83c\udffe Women of color\n\u270a\ud83c\udffd Women of different sexual orientations\n\u270a\ud83c\udffc Women in jails and prisons\n\u270a\ud83c\udfff Immigrant women\n\u270a\ud83c\udffe Women with disabilities\n\u270a\ud83c\udffd Women of every religion\n\u270a\ud83c\udffc ALL WOMEN\u201d— ACLU of Indiana (@ACLU of Indiana) 1678285501

'An affront to REAL women everywhere': Calls to boycott Hershey's mount after company features male transsexual in International Women's Day promo
Hershey's has brought back its "SHE" bar as part of an International Women's Day campaign to push more of its chocolate in Canada.
Although the company claims to want to "shine a light on the women and girls who inspire us every day," among the five individuals enjoying the spotlight is a man masquerading as a female.
The inclusion of a male transsexual in a purported celebration of women and womanhood has outraged many online, prompting calls for a boycott and claims that Hershey's is "erasing women."
The individual who calls himself Fae Johnstone is a transsexual activist and executive director of Wisdom2Action. According to his website, Johnstone is also a "white settler, from a middle class family," as well as the first male transsexual to serve on the board of directors of the YWCA Canada.
Johnstone tweeted Wednesday, "The chocolate's out of the wrapper! Honoured to be featured in this campaign by @Hersheys Canada for #InternationalWomensDay alongside 4 brilliant sisters and change-makers."
\u201cThe chocolate's out of the wrapper! \n\nHonoured to be featured in this campaign by @Hersheys Canada for #InternationalWomensDay alongside 4 brilliant sisters and change-makers. \n\nhttps://t.co/0s9uh8MvHv\u201d— Fae Johnstone, MSW (@Fae Johnstone, MSW) 1677686343
Johnstone noted that Canadian convenience stores would now be carrying the so-called special edition SHE chocolate bars with his face and the four featured women on them, adding, "We still have a long way to go in the fight to end misogyny, patriarchy and gender-based violence. I hope this campaign helps give more young women and girls role models and possibility models. And shows them how we can be change the world, together."
The four women in the Hershey's campaign were Kélicia Massala, Rita Audi, Naila Moloo, and Autumn Peltier. Massala and Audi are "gender equality" activists. Moloo is a "climate tech researcher." Peltier is a native rights and water activist.
This campaign was executed in partnership with the United Nations Foundation's GirlUp, a leftist nonprofit that dabbles in climate alarmism and pro-abortion activism.
Canadian writer and conservative columnist Sue-Ann Levy replied, "Never did like Hersheys chocolate."
One user wrote, "I hate it when you get a candy bar and you find out it has nuts after the first bite."
Johnstone reportedly blocked Mia Cathell after the Townhall reporter tweeted, "What an insult to feature a man role-playing as a woman for International Women's Day. An affront to REAL women everywhere."
\u201c@FaeJohnstone @Hersheys What an insult to feature a man role-playing as a woman for International Women's Day. An affront to REAL women everywhere.\u201d— Fae Johnstone, MSW (@Fae Johnstone, MSW) 1677686343
Abigail Shrier, author of "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters," wrote, "You get the feeling that these companies *always* despised women -- they were just waiting for the right moment to stick it to us. Here's the thing about real women, @Hersheys : We have long memories."
Former transsexual Oli London tweeted, "Go Woke, Go Broke ... Hersheys chocolate has just disrespected women all over the world by having a MAN who regularly tweets his hatred towards WOMEN become the face of the brands 'International Women’s Day' campaign!"
The account @LeftismForU noted, "The same people who call to 'smash the patriarchy' are the ones supporting putting men playing dress up into women's spaces."
According to trends24, #BoycottHersheys was the top trending topic on Twitter as of the time of publication.
Hershey's alleged erasure of women comes just weeks after Burberry ran an LGBT ad campaign featuring a woman with mastectomy scars from suspected cosmetic surgery.
TheBlaze previously reported that the campaign's critics accused Burberry of seeking to normalize self-mutilation and the transmogrification of healthy young women.
Concerned Women for America tweeted, "Burberry’s new ad campaign has nothing to do with selling clothes but selling an ideology to young women that they were born in the wrong body and the only way to feel better is to become a boy. Stop glorifying and normalizing self-mutilation."

'Dictionary and a backbone': J.K. Rowling unleashes on British politician for refusing to define what is a woman
Author J.K. Rowling punched back at a British politician on Tuesday who — on International Women's Day — refused to define what is a woman.
What is the background?
Transgender advocates believe Rowling is an enemy of their movement because the "Harry Potter" author affirms the biological structure of sex and gender and believes that transgender ideology delegitimizes women.
In fact, Rowling believes that if biological gender is not real — and only a social construct like some LGBT activists claim — then "the lived reality of women globally is erased." Rowling has repeated her beliefs several times in recent years, and, just last November, she vowed never to stop defending biological women's sex-based rights.
What did Rowling say now?
On Tuesday, Rowling criticized Anneliese Dodds, chair of the UK Labour Party and shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, for refusing to define what constitutes a "woman" in a BBC interview.
When asked to define what is a "woman," Dodds said there are "different definitions" and claimed "it does depend what the context is surely."
"Someone please send the Shadow Minister for Equalities a dictionary and a backbone," Rowling responded, adding the hashtag "#HappyInternationalWomensDay."
Someone please send the Shadow Minister for Equalities a dictionary and a backbone.\n#HappyInternationalWomensDayhttps://twitter.com/obsolesence/status/1501142217469083649\u00a0\u2026— J.K. Rowling (@J.K. Rowling) 1646744547
Rowling then mocked Dodds in direct response to a video the British lawmaker posted for International Women's Day. "This morning you told the British public you literally can't define what a woman is. What's the plan, lift up random objects until you find one that rattles?" Rowling said.
Rowling also said, "Apparently, under a Labour government, today will become We Who Must Not Be Named Day."
Then, in response to someone who challenged Rowling about her legacy, Rowling said she plans to forever defend women's rights.
"Yes, sweetheart. I'm staying right here on this hill, defending the right of women and girls to talk about themselves, their bodies and their lives in any way they damn well please," Rowling said. "You worry about your legacy, I'll worry about mine."

Rowling has been critically outspoken in recent days about Scotland's Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which would further codify progressive transgender ideology in Scottish society. Specifically, Rowling believes the legislation "will harm the most vulnerable women in society."
"Multiple women’s groups have presented well-sourced evidence to [First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon's] government about the likely negative consequences of this legislation for women and girls, especially the most vulnerable. All has been ignored," Rowling said on Monday.
