I didn't realize that woman wasn't a woman until now. I figured she just liked dressing down.

Also Emma D'Arcy is only apparently one of FIVE Womyn who are in the running for GQ's Men of the Year list.

Well it's about time Womyn prove they're better then Men at being Men. The inverse has been happening way too much as of late. :p

If those gals can out-guy a redneck including them on the list of contenders for Man of the Year is "meh, whatever, you go girl".

They, however, aren't this gal:



Most guys under consideration for the title probably don't know how to connect a trailor to a two inch hitch - or even what that means.

Most guys under consideration were women.

Which makes me think Gentlemen Quarterly's list is only worthwhile as a fire starter or toilet paper.

Tennessee Lawmakers Introduce Bill To Ban Gender Transition Procedures For Minors



Tennessee lawmakers introduced a bill Wednesday that would ban puberty blockers as well as sex change hormones and surgeries in the state.

Republican Tennessee Majority Leaders William Lamberth and Jack Johnson introduced the Protecting Children from Gender Mutilation Act to bar doctors from prescribing controversial transgender procedures. The bill would also allow patients and families to sue doctors for up to $25,000 for each violation of the rule, according to documents obtained by WKRN State Capitol Reporter Chris O’Brien. (RELATED: California Passes Amendment By Massive Margins To Enshrine A ‘Right To Abortion’ In The State’s Constitution)

State legislators first moved to ban sex change procedures for minors in September, as Lamberth and Johnson moved to introduce legislation to that effect.

The legislation comes after a bombshell report revealed that Vanderbilt University’s Dr. Shayne Taylor said in 2018 that providing sex change surgeries to minors was a “big money maker” and clarified that individuals who were against these surgeries due to religious beliefs would face “consequences,” according to the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh. Weeks later, the hospital announced it would pause all sex change surgeries on minors.



A spokesperson for Tennessee governor Bill Lee told the Daily Caller in September that he was calling on the state Attorney General to open an investigation into whether Vanderbilt crossed any ethical or legal guidelines after the report.

Federal judge throws out Biden admin’s transgender policy



The Trump-appointed judge pointed out that while ‘Congress could have included 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' in the statutory text,’ it ‘chose not to.’

AMARILLO, Texas (LifeSiteNews) — A federal judge on Friday shot down the Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) transgender policy, delivering a win for healthcare workers opposed to providing so-called “gender-affirming” care for “transgender” patients.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, ruled November 11 that federal law does not prohibit healthcare providers from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, contrary to the Biden administration’s interpretation of an Obamacare provision, Reuters reported.

The Biden administration’s HHS announced in May 2021 it would reinterpret the policy in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, which declared that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in addition to biological sex.

In his Friday decision, however, Kacsmaryk said the Biden administration’s interpretation of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was erroneous, since the Bostock ruling “does not apply to Section 1557 or Title IX.”

According to the Trump-appointed judge, the HHS’ arguments attempting to “retroactively apply Bostock” to Section 1557 were “unpersuasive.” He pointed out that while “Congress could have included ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ in the statutory text,” it “chose not to.”

“Instead, Congress limited Section 1557’s protections to those afforded by other federal statutes — including Title IX. Because Title IX does not protect ‘sexual orientation’ or ‘gender identity’ status, neither does Section 1557,” Kacsmaryk wrote.

The decision came after two Texas-based doctors represented by the conservative America First Legal Foundation filed a class action lawsuit challenging the Biden administration’s May 2021 interpretation of Section 1557.

Dr. Susan Neese and Dr. James Hurly argued in the suit that the Biden administration’s transgender policy exceeded the scope of the law and would inhibit their ability to appropriately perform their medical duties and receive funding.

In the suit, Dr. Neese expressed concern she would be barred from refusing to prescribe transgender hormone drugs to minors “in situations where a patient’s denial of biological realities will endanger their life or safety.”

Dr. Hurley shared that he “has encountered situations” in which he was forced to “insist that a patient acknowledge his biological sex rather than the gender identity that he asserts” in order to provide adequate treatment. In an example, he said he treated a man who suffered from prostate cancer but identified as a woman. Hurley told the man that “he was indeed a biological man with a prostate, and that he needed to seek urgent medical care … ”

The Friday decision comes as conservatives have seemingly made gains in their fight against radical transgender ideology and its far-reaching impacts on healthcare, education, law, and the physical and emotional well-being of minors and adults.

Revelations regarding ongoing transgender medical interventions for minors have spurred a thriving political movement encompassing parents, school boards, and politicians to protect children against chemical castration and physical mutilation.

Late last month, the Florida Board of Medicine’s legislative committee voted to ban transgender drugs and surgeries for minors statewide.

Last week, Tennessee lawmakers introduced legislation to ban puberty blockers, “sex change” hormones, and transgender surgeries for minors throughout the state. The move came after Catholic Daily Wire podcaster Matt Walsh released a bombshell report in September revealing that Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville was performing mutilating gender surgeries on minors, a practice it saw as a “huge money maker.”

In an October 28 letter to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona urged that officials investigate the actual science behind so-called “Gender Affirming Care” for minors.

“Gender-affirming care (GAC) includes the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones that can lead to infertility and other serious permanent medical maladies,” Gosar wrote, adding that the “removal of sexual organs,” which “is also considered GAC … is obviously irreversible.”

“That any of these surgeries and treatments are being provided to minors is nothing short of child abuse,” he argued

Axios is getting ragged on for this dumb headline they've thrown down.



They really want us to be upset about such a horrifically high number as 32 deaths nationwide in a year. But, well, people aren't convinced.



Turns out that's about a third the rate everybody else dies...

I'm not crying. You're crying!

In case you are wondering Amber McLaughlin, 49, was found guilty of murdering his former girlfriend back in 2003. He transitioned into his final form after his conviction. Amber's lawyers are appealing for clemency from Missouri Governor Mark parson and the clemency is supporting by Democratic Missouri Representatives Emanuel Cleaver and race hustler/police defunder advocate Cori Bush. The appeal is based on the argument that Amber suffered from childhood trauma and abuse as well as mental illness and depression, though apparently, it's not being argued as in relation to the transition.

Missouri is the 'show-me state' right?
So they have an opportunity to show me (and the rest of the world) how progressive they are!

...It's probably bad I for some reason have the executioner from Blazing Saddles popping into my head.
"No need to fear, all are equal in my eye."

Anyhow and forcing myself a touch of seriousness, I'm skeptical of the death penalty overall, but the defense in this case seems a reach and until we axe the penalty wholesale, well...everyone's equal in death's eye whatever their identity.
Oops, I said I was going to try to be serious. Silly me.

And.... they're gone... or as Missouri Democratic Representative Cori Bush has stated, "3 days into 2023, Missouri has chosen to uphold violence over mercy. Today, the state executed Amber McLaughlin, a trans woman." 😪

Sorry wrong emoji...

:sleep:


Also as a fun fact, Amber, or whatever their name was before transitioning, also apparently raped a fourteen year old back in 1992 when he was 19 so... that's something.

Anyways... another historical milestone achieved by the LGBTQIAP+ movement.

Out of curiosity: Was it de facto consensual statutory rape or forcible rape? Still exploitative and wrong either way, of course, but I'm still curious.

I do oppose the death penalty unless it's on voluntary demand by the prisoner themselves, FWIW.

As if we needed further proof that the mainstream comic companies by and large deserve their coming extinction

Let me point out that if you look at the actual context of the comic, this is not a trans man version of Joker, this is the result of Zatanna casting a rather loosely worded magical curse ("No one else will ever have your baby!") on Joker in retaliation for him sort of creepy-flirting at her during an attack.

Doesn't make it any less stupid or messed up; and even if it’s not a TransJoker, that doesn’t mean this wasn’t made to a least in part appeal to that crowd in some sense.
