Texas’ Senate Bill 12 is a no-brainer. Dubbed the "Parents' Bill of Rights," the law has four simple principles for public schools:
1. No DEI training: Schools can’t assign DEI duties or allow race-/gender-based training. Critical race theory ideas about racial superiority or guilt are banned.
2. No sex education without parental consent: Schools cannot provide any instruction on human sexuality, including topics like sexual health or reproduction, without explicit written parental consent.
3. No social transitioning help: Staff can’t help students change names, pronouns, or appearance to match a different gender without parents knowing.
4. No gender-/sex-focused clubs: Clubs focused on sexual orientation or gender identity are banned from recognition, funding, and use of school facilities.
Sara Gonzales — BlazeTV host of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” and the vice president of Texas Family Project, a nonprofit organization aiming to protect children from radical ideology — says SB 12 is “a very reasonable law ... to anyone who isn’t a total creep.”
And yet, there are people who are adamant on fighting SB 12. One of those people is Texas Tribune reporter Lindsey Byman, who posted this on Wednesday:

As a parent of two Texas schoolchildren, Sara was much obliged to answer Lindsey’s question. In a lengthy, scathing email, Sara told the Texas Tribune journalist exactly how SB 12 has impacted Texans.
Lindsey,
My name is Sara Gonzales, and I have two school-aged boys in Texas. I am also the vice president of Texas Family Project, a nonprofit organization here in the state that has advocated for SB 12 — and much more — to shield innocent children from the predatory claws of radical ideologues.
You asked to hear how the “new policies limiting the discussion/expression of trans identities at public TX K-12 schools” have affected Texans. As you likely already know — or should if you weren’t so blinded by your obvious agenda — this policy simply protects children from being socially transitioned at school, in secret, without their parents’ knowledge. It also prevents teachers from otherwise having conversations with minor children related to their sexual preferences. Any adult who is not a morally bankrupt, mentally ill degenerate would cheer this as a reasonable measure to protect children from harm.
To be clear, I am absolutely thrilled that public school teachers can no longer sexually indoctrinate children without accountability or consequence. It warms my heart to think that these vile perverts who have been radically indoctrinating Texas children into a cult that makes them more prone to depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation could finally be fired. In a just world, their entire lives would be turned upside down as a result of their ghoulish behavior, and their nightmares would be endless.
In fact, I’ll sleep like a baby tonight just thinking about these predators plagued with real-world consequences of sexually indoctrinating and exploiting children.
Texans are united on this: Our hard-earned tax dollars should fund education, not indoctrination peddled by leftist lunatics. History will brand you and the pathetic left-wing propaganda mill you shill for as the villains you are — enemies of children, truth, and decency. Let’s be honest: Your company is circling the drain. It won’t survive much longer; after all, who in their right mind would continue funding a steaming pile of garbage? Tick-tock, Lindsey. Your irrelevance is calling. You can quote me in full.
Yours in unyielding contempt,
Sara Gonzales

John Reid, the Republican candidate running for Virginia lieutenant governor, ripped into his Democrat opponent for embracing transgender ideology.
Reid called out Democrat state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi for flippantly dismissing the issue of transgenderism among children, according to a video obtained exclusively by Blaze News. In the video, Hashmi brushes off concerns surrounding transgender ideology and even brags about teaching the very LGBTQ books that have been banned from children's libraries.
'Any public official who says they ‘don’t really care’ if children are exposed to sexually explicit material in schools is completely out of touch with Virginia parents.'
"One of my concerns is violence. We seem to focus on sexually explicit material," Hashmi said in the video obtained by Blaze News. "I don't really care about that."
"We teach the books that other people try to ban," Hashmi said another video clip.

"That's Ghazala Hashmi. Not protecting kids, but pushing the radical agenda. While parents beg for decency, she laughs it off. While explicit books flood classrooms, she says, 'I don't really care about that.'"
"I'm John Reid. I'm running for lieutenant governor because I do care," Reid said in the video. "It's time to stand up, clean up our schools, and move Virginia forward."
Although Hashmi has brazenly supported this radical ideology, she hasn't mustered the courage to debate it with Reid in a public forum. Because Hashmi refused to participate in a debate with Reid on Tuesday, the Republican candidate took matters into his own hands and instead debated an AI generated stand-in of his Democratic opponent.
In spite of Hashmi's failure to appear on the debate stage, Reid said her words "speak for themselves."

"Ghazala Hashmi’s words speak for themselves," Reid told Blaze News. "Any public official who says they ‘don’t really care’ if children are exposed to sexually explicit material in schools is completely out of touch with Virginia parents."
"Parents deserve to know what’s in their kids’ classrooms — and when I’m lieutenant governor, they’ll have a voice and a seat at the table.”

An Olympic gold medalist who failed gender testing has returned to competition for the first time.
Not to be confused with Algerian Olympic champion Imane Khelif — whose gender is confirmed to be male — Taiwan's Lin Yu‑ting also brutalized women at the Paris 2024 Olympics under tough scrutiny.
'Pan Yan-fei's coach threw in the towel.'
The boxer dominated the women's 57kg division last summer, despite having been disqualified by the International Boxing Association in 2023. That March, Lin was denied a bronze medal after failing to meet gender eligibility requirements. The IBA also disqualified Khelif from the same event, and the Algerian was later exposed as a male in three other reports.
Lin had not been seen in competition for over a year until his recent appearance at the Taiwan National Games. Reduxx reported that the competition does not have any known sex testing protocols in place, so the 30-year-old was allowed to compete in the women's 60kg category.
It did not take long for Lin to overwhelm an opponent, defeating 19-year-old female Pan Yan-fei in just one minute and 34 seconds. After repeated punches to the head, Pan's coach threw in the towel.
Pan was, "a little breathless because of being hit on the head," Taiwanese outlet CNA reported. "Then Pan Yan-fei’s coach threw in the towel and gave up the game."
If Lin wins the tournament, that would make six consecutive national titles for the controversial boxer.
The controversy around Lin's gender is parallel to Khelif's, as the latter was proven by a multitude of sources to be, in fact, a male. However, less is known about Lin specifically, although it was discussed internally at the Olympics that the boxer had failed gender testing.
RELATED: Trump wins: US Olympic Committee bans men from women's sports
The Guardian reported at the time that the International Olympic Committee had prior knowledge that Lin was "stripped of her bronze medal after failing to meet eligibility requirements based on the results of a biochemical test," and noted such in its internal system.
This came after IBA president Umar Krevlev told Russian outlet TASS that both Lin and Khelif had "XY chromosomes."
While the IBA has faced criticism over its credibility, it was proven to be right about Khelif.
Still, neither boxer is likely to see the ring at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. New IOC president Kirsty Coventry and President Donald Trump have made it clear that males will not be beating up females in the United States.
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced a rules update in July that stated it would "ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201."
Executive Order 14201, Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports, bans males from participating in "all-female athletic opportunities" or entering "all-female locker rooms."
After their Olympic performances, Lin and Khelif were not permitted to box in other competitions until Lin's latest appearance.
Khelif, though, has vowed to compete in the 2028 Olympics and even submitted an appeal to World Boxing after being booted from a Dutch event in June. The boxer asked to be declared "eligible to participate in the 2025 World Boxing Championships from 4 to 14 September," without having to submit to a genetic test.
The ban stood. Lin was also not permitted to compete at the world championships.

Lin's opponent, Pan, was a young boxer who was making her first appearance at the senior national games after winning a national high school title in 2023.
She previously competed in Taiwan's under-22 category at 54-57kg.
Despite the brutal loss, event officials reportedly examined her after the fight, and she did not suffer any serious injuries. She was able to walk unaided and was described as stable.
Lin reportedly declined to be interviewed after the fight.

An all-female video game tournament was turned on its head when it allowed a male to compete and win an enormous cash prize.
A Fortnite gaming tournament called the Milk Cup says that it was created to provide women with more opportunities to succeed in video game competitions.
"It's a space designed for women to compete at the highest level, for serious money," the company says. However, it took just one year since the tournament's inception for it to become dominated by a male.
'It felt crazy to lift that trophy.'
The 2025 Milk Cup in San Diego, California, boasted a $300,000 prize pool and alleged $78,000 first-place prize. This year's top prize was award to a duo of gamers going by "XSet" Nina Fernandez and allegedly transgender gamer Vader, a male who believes he is female. The pair placed second in 2024.
Vader celebrated the win on his X page, exclaiming, "1st ($78,000) at [Milk Cup] LAN WE F**KING DID IT."
Nina and the tournament organizers similarly celebrated the victory online.
Vader's X profile seemingly lists him as "18" years old, with a transgender flag next to the age. A gamer ranking website also lists him as born in July 2007. His Twitch profile describes him as using "she/her pronouns."
"[Our win at Milk Cup] shows you can be your true self and not be apologetic about it," Vader said on a post-match press panel, per ESports Insider. "There are spaces for everybody, so never give up."
"It felt crazy to lift that trophy," Vader added, saying he wanted to "prove people wrong."
"Anybody can participate in esports. Don't let people stop you. Don’t let comments get to your head. Believe in yourself."
While online communities often cater to such delusions, it may come as a surprise that the tournament itself is backed by a nonprofit organization that operates under the United States Department of Agriculture.

The website "Gonna Need Milk," representing the organization behind the tournament, claims that "in a world where male athletes take center stage," the organization is "redirecting the spotlight to women."
The company further explains it is making an effort to, perhaps ironically, "drive awareness to gender inequality in sport."
The bottom of the page denotes that the website is maintained and funded by MilkPEP, the Milk Processor Education Program, which came into existence after the creation of the Fluid Milk Promotion Act of 1990. The USDA's National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board sponsors both MilkPEP and Gonna Need Milk.
At the same time, MilkPEP boasts that the tournament is run by a collaboration of all-female teams and that its program is "funded by the nation's milk companies."
Blaze News reached out to MilkPEP and Gonna Need Milk to see if they took issue with a male gamer winning the all-female tournament; neither entity responded.
The USDA was also asked if the inclusion of the male violated federal orders. A representative for the USDA said the agency could not provide a response to the question within a reasonable time frame due to "the ongoing government shutdown."
Gamers Vader and Nina were also asked to comment on what the determining factors should be regarding allowing a male in the female category and whether they had a response to the backlash; neither responded.

Electronic medical records ask the same questions used by predatory activist doctors to point children toward irreversible medical interventions like puberty blockers, hormone replacement, chemical castration, and genital mutilation surgeries.
Helen Andrews argues woke culture is the inevitable result of women taking over pivotal industries such as law, media, and medicine.
Ideologues foisting the harmful lies of transgenderism onto kids should be laughed -- and prosecuted -- out of polite society.
I tried searching for stories of kids peer-pressured into trans identities, and Google spat out unsolicited propaganda and falsehoods.
