Colorado parents will lose custody for 'deadnaming'



Four new bills focused on protecting abortion care and “gender-affirming health care” are currently working their way through the Colorado legislature.

One such bill, H.B. 25, is focused on protecting “access” to this gender-affirming health care.

“Whenever you see that word 'access' used by progressives, what they mean is that they are forcing you to pay for something. They’re forcing the taxpayer to pay for something, to pay for transition so-called or to pay for abortion, and this grants access to people who maybe wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford it without the help of taxpayer dollars,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” explains.

"This bill codifies protections for gender-affirming health care in state law. It mandates that all health insurance plans in Colorado cover 'medically necessary gender-affirming care,'" she adds.


“No gender-affirming care is medically necessary,” Stuckey says.

However, while concerning to begin with, there’s another part of H.B. 25 that puts parents and their custody of their children in jeopardy.

One part of the bill, known as the Kelly Loving Act, was passed by the Colorado House on April 6 and now awaits review in the Colorado Senate.

“This is a very scary part of this bill,” Stuckey says. “The courts must consider deadnaming, all these euphemisms, misgendering, threats to publish material related to gender-affirming care — so like outing someone — as coercive control when determining parenting time and child custody.”

“They must look at all of these things when they are determining parental custody, like a divorce custody battle, when it comes to how these parents treat their children,” she explains.

“So, they could accuse a parent of coercive control if a parent, for example, threatens to publish the individual's sensitive personal information, including sexually explicit material or material related to gender-affirming health care services or make reports to the police or authorities or deadnaming or misgendering the individual or individual’s child,” she continues.

An example Stuckey uses is a woman who is in a custody battle and is getting divorced from her husband who has now declared that he’s a woman. If she continues to call him Frank when he wants to be called Sally, the judge has to consider this in the custody battle when awarding custody to parents.

“So, the parent who acknowledges reality, acknowledges the reality of their ex-spouse’s gender or acknowledges the reality of their child, refuses to affirm these newfound identities, then that parent could be punished and should be punished, really,” Stuckey explains.

“Basically, the state will steal your child from you, will take away your custody rights from your child, if you affirm biological reality,” she adds.

'Trans' male athlete caused her brain bleed — now she’s speaking out



Payton McNabb is a former volleyball player who suffered devastating injuries at the young age of 17, when her team was faced with a transgender player on the opposite end of the court.

“I’m not tall enough to block, so I never block. I always just do tips, and it works for every other team except for this one,” McNabb tells Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable.” “I was back there and I got hit right in the face, they guess it was about 70 miles per hour."

“It knocked me unconscious, he spiked the ball,” she says, adding, “I love sports, it’s brought so much into my life. But unfortunately, everything was taken away that day, because of a boy. And it was just completely avoidable, which is the thing, so that’s why it’s so frustrating to me.”


While women who play sports are told that injuries are unavoidable no matter who’s on the other team, McNabb completely disagrees.

“You’re going to get hurt, which like obviously, but not to that extreme of an injury, unless you’re playing against a boy,” she says.

McNabb recalls being unconscious for 30 seconds, and when she came to, she heard a scream in the background, while the rest of the gym went silent.

“Once I woke up, the trainer for the other team, he asked me if I knew what just happened to me. And I was like, ‘Yeah, that boy just hit me in the face,’” McNabb explains. “We were not allowed to talk about it, so he didn’t know what to say, so he just kind of rushed me off the court.”

The doctors immediately referred McNabb to a neurologist when it became obvious that she was suffering from a brain bleed.

“I was just completely off, I was repeating things over and over again, I was sleeping all the time, didn’t have any balance really, was falling everywhere, my memory was just not good. It was a really hard time,” she explains, noting that her official diagnosis was a brain bleed, a concussion, and permanent whiplash.

“You’re lucky that your neck didn’t or your spinal cord didn’t actually snap,” Stuckey says, disturbed.

“That’s what the doctor said, and they were so confused on how I got this bad of an injury in a high school volleyball game,” she says, adding, “so then my mom finally had to be like, ‘Well, it was a guy.’”

Rutgers professor claims anyone pointing out that gay people are harshly persecuted in Palestine are the 'homophobic' ones



A Rutgers University professor went to great lengths to attempt to fabricate a paper-thin defense of Palestine being extremely harsh towards LGBTQ individuals.

In the name of intersectionality, Maya Mikdashi attempted to deflect any criticism towards Palestine's proven agenda against any and all LGBTQ rights. The progressive professor instead cried that anyone pointing out the fact that gay people are persecuted in Palestine are the actual ones who are "homophobic."

Mikdashi is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

The professor has a focus on "law, citizenship, secularity, religious conversion, sexual difference, and the war on terror."

Mikdashi has absolutely no issue with bashing the United States for transphobia and a slew of other issues.

Mikdashi wrote in 2016: "The United States is in the midst of an election cycle where bigotry, racism, homophobia, transphobia, anti-immigration, Islamophobia, gun-love, imperial hubris, and sexism  are political platforms — and political and national culture is not something one can 'opt out' or into depending on ethnicity, race, religion, sex, gender, or even 'free will.'"

However, Mikdashi will devotedly defend Hamas against anyone who points out the fact that Palestine is fanatically against LGBTQ rights.

According to Equaldex, Palestine ranks 192 out of 197 countries in public opinion about legal rights and freedoms for LGBTQ+ people.

The Williams Institute – a UCLA think tank devoted to gender studies – ranked Palestine 130 out of 175 countries in regards to "social acceptance of LGBTQIA people."

On March 20, Mikdashi spoke at an event titled: "Palestine is a Feminist and Queer Anti-Imperialist Abolition Struggle."

Mikdashi co-hosted the event at the University of Illinois with Dr. Nadine Naber – a professor in the Gender and Women's Studies Program, the Global Asian Studies Program, and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Illinois Chicago.

Naber claimed, "The gender binary is foundational to colonization. And also like that the gender binary – like all borders – are mare possible through state violence."

Mikdashi said during the event, "So I've been at protests where I'm then told, 'Don't you know what Hamas would do to you if you were in Palestine.'"

The woke professor proclaimed, "We have to start naming this as actually as homophobic. You cannot rehearse violence to queer people."

She declared, "It's violent."

Mikdashi claimed that noting that Palestine has a horrendous record on LGBTQ rights is the same as "pinkwashing," which she said was a "form of homophobia."

Pinkwashing is defined as an "appropriation of the LGBTQIA+ movement to promote a particular corporate or political agenda."

Naber added, "If you were to say you were experiencing sexism in the SJP [Students for Justice in Palestine] they would say, 'There goes those Palestinian's again, silencing women in their communities.'"

She continued, "So no one is going to say it. And if you do say it [others] will say you're a 'traitor and collaborating with Zionism.'"

Naber contended that "rape and sexual assault" are embedded in the founding of Israel.

"Indeed the practices of rape and sexual assault that have been well-documented during the founding of Israel and continued today are not an exception or a secondary impact of colonial violence," Naber said as she read from a paper.

"[They] are part of the settler, colonial white supremacist logics and practices of Israel that conflate colonized women with the land and nature and assume that therefore to dominate the land necessitates dominating Palestinian women's bodies and their reproductive capacities from 1948 until today," Naber said, according to the Daily Mail.

VIRAL VIDEO: Trans woman takes positive pregnancy test?



Radical lefties rejoice as we finally have proof that trans women can get pregnant.

Or do we?

Pat Gray plays a video that’s since gone viral of a trans woman celebrating his first positive pregnancy test.

“You guys, I took a pregnancy test. I thought something looked a little suspicious,” the man said into the mirror while holding his protruding stomach.

“But yeah, I took a pregnancy test, and I was positive. I’ve been on hormones for around three years, and I knew that this was gonna eventually be able to happen, and I’m super happy,” he continued, before showing the plus sign on the test.

What are we seeing here? History being made? A satirical skit mocking those who believe men can bear children? Or a medical phenomenon caused by who-knows-what unnatural procedures?

In Pat’s opinion, the video is probably a joke. “It might be making a point,” he says.

“But you don't know anymore, man! We are living in the strangest timeline,” says Keith Malinak.

And it’s true — it is nearly impossible these days to tell the difference between mockery and the next culture war.

Watch the video below and decide for yourself.

'The View's' guest pushes this big lie as Joy Behar eggs him on



Actor Billy Porter went on "The View" to discuss the state of the world today.

Joy Behar starts by saying there’s a "war against trans people." Porter says the war is against all LGBTQ+ people and that those waging the war are doing it for “power.”

He continues, “Everything is about power, and you could always trace it back to the money … follow the money, follow the power, power at any cost. It’s very hypocritical. You know, the leading cause of death in children are [sic] guns ... not drag queens! Leave us alone! It's a distraction!"

Dave Rubin comments on how idiotic his rant was, saying that “there is no war on LGBTQ people. Nobody’s trying to arrest them. No one’s trying to put them in jail. No one is saying that consenting adults can’t live as they wish.”

He continues, “These people are genuinely insane.”

“Years from now they should put 'The View' in a time capsule, and the aliens will come down one day, and they will open it up and they will watch 'The View,' and they’ll be like, 'We better get out of here. Nothing good is happening here.'”

'Leftists have suddenly realized what a woman is again!' Pro-abortion zealots mocked for transgender crusade that's harmed biological females



Leftists who've been losing their minds over the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade are getting soundly mocked on social media for suddenly standing up for women after openly minimizing and marginalizing them through transgender advocacy.

What are the details?

The rise of transgenderism — and the lockstep support it has received from leftists — runs into some problems when placed side by side with abortion rights.

First we've seen a number of stories about transgender men — biological women who identify as men — getting pregnant. And since leftists by and large love that pregnancy is apparently no longer the exclusive domain of "women," it would seem they'd need to stop holding signs that demand abortion protections for "women," right?

  I'm the Only Pregnant Transgender Male in Texas | Extreme Love youtu.be 

After all, they've been saying men can give birth, too — as evidenced by the last year's appearance of a "pregnant man" emoji — along with pushing terms like "birthing people" and "people who menstruate."

 
Pro-family group pushes back against 'pregnant man' emojihttps://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/pro-family-group-pushes-back-pregnant-man-emoji\u00a0\u2026
— Fox News (@Fox News) 1650986700 
 

It culminated with Supreme Court justice-to-be Ketanji Brown Jackson infamously saying during her confirmation hearings in March that she cannot define the word "woman" because she's "not a biologist."

What's more, now that men also can give birth, the decades-old mantra that men aren't allowed to comment on abortion would seem to be wrongheaded as well.

And while not connected to abortion rights, the other huge transgender agenda item dominating the news of late has been the explosion of transgender women — biological men who identify as women — competing against biological female athletes. Incredibly many biological women, without embarrassment, advocated for it, despite such competitions consistently hurting biological female athletes.

Let the mockery commence

Here's a look at the left getting ridiculed following the news about the possible Roe v. Wade overturn. First up is our own BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales:

 
And just like that, all the leftists have suddenly realized what a woman is again!

Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire had his fun, too:

 
For one news cycle at least women are females again. It\u2019s a miracle.
— Best Selling Biologist Matt Walsh (@Best Selling Biologist Matt Walsh) 1651578872 
 
 
The transphobia from leftists right now is simply staggering. Overturning Roe is "an attack on women"? It's like you people have never heard of pregnant men all of a sudden. Absolutely appalling. #EndTransphobia
— Best Selling Biologist Matt Walsh (@Best Selling Biologist Matt Walsh) 1651586909 
 

And the hits just kept on coming:

 
By engaging in sophistry such as \u201ctrans-women are women\u201d the blue team has lost all credibility as a protector of women\u2019s rights. In that context, arguments about the indifference of conservatives to the plight of women just sound delusional. #RoeVWade
— Bret Weinstein (@Bret Weinstein) 1651555040 
 

Others saw the left's ridiculousness as well:

  • "Since 'trans women are women,' are they allowed to have an opinion on abortion, or are we still subscribing to the 'no uterus, no opinion' thing? Lolol," one commenter wondered.
  • "It’s hard to hear pro-abortion rebuttals from the same group that won’t defend women’s rights from the trans lobby and from the same group that say[s] 'men can be pregnant,'" another user offered. "All credibility and rationality has already be destroyed."
  • "Transactivists have robbed women of the collective term 'women' so we can no longer speak about our rights as a sex class which has been oppressed by men," another commenter declared. "Women now pretending to be 'trans men' have made it so abortion is now a mens' rights issue, and this is the result."
  • "Overturning Roe can't possibly be an attack on women since we cant even identify what a woman is in todays clown world," another user said. "What about all the pregnant men? How do they feel or do we not know what a male is today, either?"

Anything else?

Judge orders prison bureau to get sex-change operation for transgender inmate



An Illinois judge set a new legal precedent this week when she ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons to secure a sex-change operation for a transgender prisoner.

Judge Nancy Rosenstengel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on Monday ruled that the BOP must find a qualified surgeon to perform vaginoplasty on inmate Cristina Nichole Iglesias, a gender dysphoric male who identifies as female.

Iglesias, who is serving a 20-year sentence for making a weapons of mass destruction threat against the British government, has been fighting in court for several years for the right to have a sex-change operation.

“I am hopeful that I will finally get the care I need to live my life fully as the woman I am,” Iglesias said in a statement. “BOP has denied me gender-affirming surgery for years — and keeps raising new excuses and putting new obstacles in my way. I am grateful that the court recognized the urgency of my case and ordered BOP to act.”

In December, the court instructed BOP's Transgender Executive Council to provide a recommendation on the surgery. The council missed the court's deadline, and only made a recommendation that Iglesias go forward with the sex-change surgery after including several conditions, including good behavior.

During that time and until now, Iglesias has not received the surgery.

Rosenstengel said BOP was playing a game of "whack-a-mole" with the prisoner, improperly delaying the surgery. She ordered the bureau "to show cause why it should not be held in contempt" for violating the courts previous orders.

The ACLU of Illinois hailed Rosenstengel's ruling as a major victory for transgender rights and for more than 1,200 transgender prisoners in federal custody.

“For years, Cristina has fought to receive the healthcare the Constitution requires. The court’s order makes clear that she needs gender-affirming surgery now and that BOP cannot justify its failure to provide this medically necessary care,” said attorney Joshua Blecher-Cohen. “We hope this landmark decision will help secure long overdue healthcare for Cristina—and for the many other transgender people in federal custody who have been denied gender-affirming care.”

Iglesias has been in federal custody for 28 years and currently resides in a BOP halfway-house in Florida. Iglesias' attorneys say BOP has been aware that he identifies as a woman he arrived in federal custody in 1994.

"Since then, she has been denied basic medical care to treat her gender dysphoria and was housed in men’s facilities for over two decades, where she experienced severe physical and sexual violence," the ACLU said. "In May 2021, this lawsuit resulted in Ms. Iglesias being one of the few transgender people ever moved to a federal prison that aligns with her gender. Ms. Iglesias has been seeking gender-affirming surgery since at least January 2016."

Iglesias will be the first federal prisoner to receive a sex-change operation while in custody, opening the door for others to follow.
