A man says he’s a woman — and his brain scan ‘proves’ it?



Transgender economist Brian Riedl, who now goes by “Jessica,” claims that his brain scans prove he’s neurologically female.

“Typical male and female brains contain subtle but real differences. And because our genes contain a full blueprint for both male and female development, it is possible even for some people with XX or XY genes to experience chemical changes in the womb that alter some of the gender development signals, particularly to the brain,” Riedl wrote in a post on X defending his transgenderism.

“I knew from age 4 that something was off with my gender, and later participated in several gender medical studies that confirmed a more female brain chemistry/architecture/functioning, hormone levels, and other biological characteristics,” he continued. “Most people who transition are merely aligning the rest of their body with other observable biological gender aspects (mostly in the brain) that emerged before birth.”


BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is disturbed that even some conservatives are falling for Riedl’s claims.

“This idea that brain scans can prove that you have a female brain — that’s just not true, and it’s not possible,” Stuckey says on “Relatable.” “Now, it could be possible that someone has true, true gender dysphoria.”

“But the remedy for that is to help someone accept their biological reality, not to get them to reject their biological reality, to try to change their outward appearance and try to force everyone else to accept something that will never be true, that a man can become a woman or a woman can become a man,” she continues.

“All of us have different kinds of things wrong with our brain or wrong with our thinking or ways in which our thinking is incongruent with reality. But we don’t try to bend reality to try to fit what our brain wrongly thinks,” she adds.

Riedl also claims that his family life with his wife and children hasn’t changed at all since he transitioned, but Stuckey isn’t buying it.

“I don’t believe you,” she says. “You have two young children, and you think that they accept this. They miss their dad, and this is sowing confusion in their lives. And you are sacrificing their stability on the altar of your desire, and that is the height of selfishness.”

‘He’s a BIGOT!’ Nancy Mace wants Lilly Contino ARRESTED for using women’s bathroom



Transgender influencer Lilly Contino — who rose to TikTok fame for posting videos of himself complaining about being misgendered at restaurants — could be in serious legal jeopardy after filming himself using the women’s bathrooms at Walt Disney World.

Contino, taunting those who believe women’s bathrooms should only be for biological women, posted selfies in the Disney park’s women’s rooms and rated the bathrooms. Other women can be seen in the background of his photos.

After Contino posted them all over his social media, guests were furious that he was filming them in a private area.

In a social media post, some of the women caught on film in Contino’s posts are threatening legal action — and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) couldn’t agree with them more.


“This person just got in trouble,” BlazeTV host Alex Stein tells Mace, asking, “Will you send this person to jail?”

“I would. If you’re a man in a women’s bathroom and it’s against the law, you shouldn’t be there. Then yeah, whatever, everything’s on the table here. Like, just be a decent human being and respect women,” Mace responds.

“This guy is a bigot, he’s a misogynist, he’s the patriarchy, literally the patriarchy. He’s making fun of women. Women don’t dress like this,” she continues.

“And I’ve seen some of his videos when he had feminine surgery that didn’t make him look more feminine. I’ve seen this guy online, and he mocks us. It’s disgusting, and why are they filming themselves in the bathroom? It’s perverted, it’s gross, and children should not be exposed to that,” she adds.

DEBATE: Should congressmen be allowed in women’s bathrooms?



House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced a new policy that explicitly states that transgender women must use the men’s bathroom and transgender men must use the women’s bathroom while in the Capitol.

This was in response to Representative-elect “Sarah” McBride, who identifies as a transgender woman, winning the Delaware seat.

“These are women’s spaces, and we should have a say. We shouldn’t have to bend to the rules of men who wear a skirt, who say that they have a right to infiltrate our spaces. I mean, these are private, sex-segregated spaces for a reason,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” comments.

Brad Polumbo of the “Brad vs. Everyone Podcast” disagrees.


“I just see the whole thing as a solution in search of a problem. Basically, they’ve been using the facilities of their gender identity for years and years,” he tells Stuckey. “Even when you zoom out and look across the country, instances of physical assault or voyeurism or harassment in bathrooms are incredibly statistically rare.”

“And these gender identity ordinances that they’ve passed in many blue areas that allow people to use their preferred bathroom, those don’t correspond with any increase empirically in those crimes, in those offenses, according to a whole host of studies,” he continues.

“So I view the whole thing as kind of a culture war outrage that’s solving a problem that isn’t really there,” he adds.

However, Polumbo appears to be making the mistake of seeing the situation solely from a male perspective — as there are legitimate reasons a woman wouldn’t want to share a bathroom with a man who believes he is a woman.

“We’re talking specifically about women,” Stuckey responds. “No man is really afraid of the 5'4” guy, or actually female, with a beard, because he’s been on testosterone for a few years coming into his bathroom.”

“It is, of course, women who are justifiably nervous about the 6'2” guy who happens to be wearing a skirt and lipstick coming into her bathroom not only with her, but also with her 10-year-old daughter. Also, while she may be breastfeeding, also while she may be pumping, while she may be changing, she may be doing things that, of course, require privacy. That’s why we have bathrooms,” she continues.

While Polumbo goes on to claim that conservatives' fear of transgender women in women’s bathrooms is the same as the fear of a Catholic priest molesting a child, Stuckey couldn’t disagree more.

“I don’t think that’s a good analogy, because it’s not only that we are saying that men who identify as women may violate these girls. I understand that not every man who identifies as a woman is going to inflict violence upon a girl or a woman. It’s not only that though. It is in violation of reality, it is in violation of the truth,” she explains.

“There is a cost to saying that ‘two plus two equals five.’ Now, you could say it doesn’t really harm you to say that ‘two plus two equals five,’” she continues, “but I believe in violation of the rules of nature and the laws of reality.”

GOP lawmaker proposes requiring transgender men to register with Selective Service in case of a military draft



Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee has put forward a proposal that would require transgender men to register with Selective Service in case the nation ever has another military draft.

The term transgender men refers to biological women who identify as men while the term transgender women refers to biological men who identify as women.

Currently, while males are required to register with Selective Service, females are not. According to the Selective Service System website, males are required to register regardless of how they choose to identify.

"Selective Service bases the registration requirement on gender assigned at birth and not on gender identity or on gender reassignment. Individuals who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register. Individuals who are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register," the site states.

"Until Congress amends the MSSA [Military Selective Service Act] or passes a separate law addressing transsexuals and gender identity, Selective Service must follow the intent of Congress when it required only males to register – the registration requirement is based on gender at birth," the site notes. "In the event of a resumption of the draft, individuals born male who have changed their gender to female can file a claim for an exemption from military service if they receive an order to report for examination or induction."

Burchett put forward the proposal as an amendment to a defense measure. The amendment would stipulate that "the terms 'male citizen of the United States' and 'male person' include a transgender person who identifies as male."

"If they want to be treated like men, then they need to do what other men do and register for the Selective Service and get called up like everybody else," Burchett said in a statement, according to Military.com. "This group of people is more protected than any other group, and it's not right," he said.

America has not had a draft in decades.

Woman asserts that 'cis women should stand in solidarity with the trans community'



Kathryn Bromwich, who works as "a commissioning editor and writer on the Observer New Review," has asserted that biological women should be supportive of transgender women.

Transgender women are biological males who identify as women. Many women do not want to share women's spaces such as bathrooms with men, even if those men claim to identify as women.

"If women are united by anything – and there are 3.8 billion of us, so there is going to be little common ground – it is the risk of sexual violence, from which no woman is safe, especially not trans women. No rapist is going to stop to check whether you have fallopian tubes. The fact that we are all targets of this particular kind of violence should only increase cis women's solidarity towards our trans sisters," she wrote.

"With gender and sexuality becoming increasingly fluid, feminism should aim to be more inclusive rather than less: welcoming trans men and women as well as non-binary, queer, intersex and gender-nonconforming people," she opined.

Bromwich declared on Twitter, "Cis women should stand in solidarity with the trans community." She added in another tweet that many of her "Observer/Guardian colleagues" share her view on the matter.

\u201cWorth pointing out that a lot of my Observer/Guardian colleagues feel exactly the same way on this issue\u201d
— Kathryn Bromwich (@Kathryn Bromwich) 1687080769

But some on social media did not share her sentiments.

Someone replied by noting that "there's no such thing as 'cis' women. Moreover, there is no such thing as a 'transwoman'. There are men, and there are women, and that's it. You cannot change your sex. Stop deluding yourself, Kathryn."

"I don't know any 'cis' women, only women. Men are never women, no matter how they identify. And no one is 'born in the wrong body,'" another commenter wrote. "Good luck with your men's rights activism, tho."

\u201cI don't know any 'cis' women, only women.\n\nMen are never women, no matter how they identify. \n\nAnd no one is "born in the wrong body". \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\n\nGood luck with your men's rights activism, tho.\u201d

'Trans women are biological women': Eli Erlick posts a litany of laughably preposterous claims about transgender women



Eli Erlick, an individual who identifies as "Extremely queer & incredibly trans," has posted a series of absurd statements on social media claiming that transgender women are actually women.

"Trans women are natural women. Trans women are normal woman. Trans women are biological women. Trans women are born women. Trans women are women," Erlick tweeted. "The only inherent difference between trans women and cis women is that trans women were assigned male by a doctor. Trans is an adjective that describes that assignment," Erlick added in another tweet.

\u201cThe only inherent difference between trans women and cis women is that trans women were assigned male by a doctor. Trans is an adjective that describes that assignment.\u201d
— Eli Erlick (@Eli Erlick) 1660846714

Despite Erlick's emphatic declarations to the contrary, transgender women are actually just biological men masquerading as women.

"I've been openly trans since age 8. I was constantly told transition was impossible but still expressed myself. There was no other way forward. Nearly 2 decades later, I'm proud of who I am. I wouldn't be here w/o transitioning as a kid. Trans youth deserve our unwavering support," Erlick has tweeted. "Trans education matters. I didn't know transition was possible when I first came out as trans in 3rd grade. I didn't know that there were other people out there like me. I didn't even know queer people existed! I just knew that I was a girl and I wanted to be respected as one," Erlick wrote in another recent tweet.

Erlick has previously admitted to involvement in a scheme to distribute prescription hormones to people.

"There are over 20 states trying to criminalize hormone therapy, particularly for trans youth. So, my friends and I had an idea: sending out our extra prescriptions around the country. If you need hormones, I'm working with a distribution network to get you access. Everything is free, no questions asked. We have hundreds of doses of testosterone, estradiol, and spironolactone available right now. All are prescribed by doctors and unused. Each package comes with information on dosage, obtaining bloodwork, etc," Erlick wrote in an Instagram post that has apparently been deleted.

"I realize this is only a band-aid solution: we need full access to affirmative medical care from professionals immediately. However, missing a single dose of hormones can be devastating (especially for trans teens and those new to hormones)! These laws are outrageous and I can't wait for them to be overturned. In the meantime, DM me if you need HRT or if you have overprescribed hormones you'd like to send out," Erlick's post read.
