So…they now have to see an actual doctor to get their biology-altering drugs? How terrible.
My take is that this making it hard to receive care makes it clear what the mainstream medical community truly thinks about this subject. And a 20-year statute of limitations on related malpractice claims scaring doctors away is only admitting that no one knows what the long term effects of these mad scientist experiments will end up being. I’ll keep waiting for that article to be written…

I have a problem with this, unless they advertise it widely, and well in advance of the event, as it is directed as an attack at the most vulnerable among us - Muslims. Unless SixFlaqs (no pun intended) limits these shows to LGQRSTUVWXL+ month. Families, particularly Muslim families, expect a family park be family friendly to the majority of families.

The lawless colleges are openly plotting to flout the supreme court decision. It will be up to the Republican governors and legislators to use the power of the purse to make the state colleges respect the decision. Much better would be to remove funding for all the DEI programs as done in Florida by DeSantis.

More on the Target follies vs. Walmart
Compare to Walmart
The middle of the road strategy has spared the nation’s largest retailer from getting embroiled in social politics and corporate wokeness, a move Walmart U.S. CEO Doug McMillon is not interested in.
He told shareholders the company does not “wake up in the morning wanting to go and make social and political statements,”
As for Walmart, shares are up about 4% year-to-date, vs. Target’s 12% drop.

A little different clashing of economics and social justice:
In Grove’s opinion, he mentioned the Shopkeeper’s Privilege, a provision in Colorado law that protects stores and employees from liability if they have reasonable grounds to detain and question people they suspect of shoplifting.
The judges of both courts said he visited the stores intending to sue as part of a “sting.” Montgomery also called the trips a “sting” in statements to store employees and responding officers, according to Grove’s opinion.
I haven’t read the case, but it sounds like this guy sunk his own case with his mouth. I’m kind of glad he was called out for intentionally and repeatedly baiting the situation, but I also don’t see this case setting precedent for “leaving the store” to be considered cause for reasonable suspicion.

In what will come as no surprise, cutting off your dick leads to more loneliness. Trans affirming surgeries don’t help the mental problems that prompted them.
“In our study, the level of life satisfaction in transgender people was not increased in transgender people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery as compared to those who were unoperated,” says a study published Tuesday in BMC Public Health, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
“[O]ur data indicate that transgender and gender-diverse people, who have undergone gender reassignment surgery feel lonelier” than transgender-identified people who have not elected to have surgery, finds a separate study by the same four researchers, originally published online May 11 in the journal Healthcare (Basel).
Meanwhile, the AP tries its best to make sure the media won’t tell you about this, or anything trans related, in anything but the most positive light.
The Associated Press recently released new guidelines suppressing the very concept of transgenderism as an ideology that can be debated, while forcing that ideology on reporters in the name of promoting good journalism.
In a classic example of “1984”-style doublethink, good journalists are required to abide by transgender ideology, while denying that such an ideology exists. AP’s most recent style guide update—published Thursday—instructs them to use a person’s “preferred” pronouns, deny that sex is a biological fact recognized at or before birth, and use the euphemism “gender-affirming care” when describing experimental medical interventions that leave patients stunted, scarred, and infertile.

You go from being someone who thinks they’re in the wrong body, to someone who thinks they’re in the wrong body that’s also mutilated beyond recognition. They quickly understand (even if it’s subconsciously) that putting lipstick on a pig doesnt change the fact it’s still a pig.

A place to train police and firefighters. What an outrageously terrible idea. Facists!
Seems like an odd place to draw the line.

Evidence that there is a transgender-industrial complex making incredible amounts of money from the mistreatment of kids
Telehealth services marketed to transgender people, such as Folx Health and Plume Clinic, frequently diagnose patients with gender dysphoria, even when they do not necessarily meet the criteria, according to reporting by the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh. Folx Health, for instance, explains that some patients may not fit the diagnosis for gender dysphoria but that “the code is needed in order for insurers to pay for the surgery.”
Gregg Re, a producer for Walsh …went undercover as a transgender-identifying patient and contacted Plume Health, telling the online clinic that he had identified as a girl since a child, but that he had never experienced gender dysphoria for more than six months at a time. The DSM-5 specifies that to meet the criteria for gender dysphoria, a patient must have experienced, “gender and natal gender of at least 6 months in duration.”
Nevertheless, after a 22-minute telehealth appointment, Gregg was sent a recommendation letter for an orchiectomy, the removal of testicles, to “help alleviate gender dysphoria.”

I think the point was more to debunk the defense that such things happening are a myth. It’s not that this approval was given, it’s that the other side insists that such approvals do not happen, and follow strict protocols rather than merely indulge patient whims. And if they’re denying this, it discredits their denials that it is happening to children as well.
As always, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

JPMorgan agrees to settle Jeffrey Epstein victim class action lawsuit
JPMorgan Chase has reached an agreement to settle a lawsuit from victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the bank announced Monday.
The agreement comes weeks after JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon sat for a deposition with lawyers for the victims. The lawsuit alleged the bank had repeatedly ignored warnings that Epstein was involved in the sex trafficking of young women and girls.
The statement did not reveal a settlement amount.

I know about teachers and doctors, but I never knew that banks were mandatory reporters?
That’s why this was settled, to avoid the bad PR of having “gotten away with it”. Not because there was liability or secrets to keep hidden.

Respectfully disagree. No one drops $290 million just to avoid bad PR. And what was the PR about?

Paying such large settlement is bad PR in itself. It gives the impression something very bad was going on and JPM decided to keep it out of the public eye.
