🚨🚨🚨This is incredible news for girls' sports in California.

Stone Ridge Christian High School girls volleyball team will forfeit tomorrow's game against San Francisco Waldorf with male player Henry Hanlon rather than risk their team's safety.

These brave girls are making a huge sacrifice, while the cowards who lead the @CIFState governing board threaten to sanction Stone Ridge Christian HS for multiple years if they don't play tomorrow.

News is coming in so fast I can't track it all so look below for updates ⬇️ ⬇️

Girls deserve fair and safe sports. Trans girls = boys. Nonbinary is also a made up word. Humans can't change sex, no child is "born in the wrong body."

Parents please review CIF State Gender Inclusivity Toolkit for the policies that impact your daughter.

Boys should not be in their locker rooms and showers. Boys should not be impacting their safety on the courts and playing fields.

@CIFState leaders are cowards. Women have spoken up around the state and yet we are ignored. CIF coaches, ADs, etc. are more concerned with their salaries and bowing to @GavinNewsom than standing up for their girl athletes.

A father of one of the players on Stone Ridge Christian girls' volleyball team shared this email that was sent to the team's families. Here is an excerpt:

"We do not believe sex is changeable and we do not intend to participate in events that send a different message. We also have a duty and responsibility to care for the health and safety of our athletes. So after consulting with our students, coaches, and staff, we have made the difficult decision to forfeit Saturday’s game."

So much gratitude for these courageous girls who were willing to sacrifice the end of their season in this way. 🙏🙏

What are the odds?!!🏳️‍⚧️ It took me less than 5 seconds to clock this @united flight attendant as a man.

I want a refund. I didn't sign up to participate in this man's fetish or cosplay. This isn't about preferred pronouns.

Meet "Riya" Young Suising, a former Silicon Valley tech executive who has been invading women's spaces and sports since 2011. 🧵

1. As "Riya" gives the safety-instructions over the PA system in his best lady-voice, I want to yell "He's a man!" @ThePosieParker, but I've promised my boyfriend no scenes this trip.

You can see his badge reads "Riya Young, she/her" which of course infuriates me, and I recall the viral video of a mom (with toddler in tow) who was kicked off another recent @united SFO flight for "misgendering."Image

2. Like other Aspie tech guys-turned-transwomen (think @BriannaWu), Young-Suising worked as an engineer and tech executive for Oracle and Intel before reinventing himself as a "female" massage therapist, Zumba instructor, @UCBerkeleySPH grad student (she/her!), and now flight attendant. He's also a graduate from @Caltech and @MITSloan in engineering, computer science and business.Image

This is wild. Here is a 2012 clip of Tim "Sarah" McBride announcing he is no longer a straight white guy "with political dreams" at American University but a "transgender woman."

Watch how the news station shows evidence of Tim's transformation from man to woman: the long dark hair (wig), the purse, the dainty necklace, the rhinestone-studded black shoes.

Dreams achieved. This current Delaware (D) senator will now be the first man-pretending-to-be-a-woman 🏳️‍⚧️ in the U.S. Congress come January. @SarahEMcBride @AmericanU @ChildrensNatl

A childhood friend of Tim's explains how Tim went to an artsy school in Wilmington where boys were taught to strive for diversity and nobody stood out for being quirky and nerdy.

"I have known Tim McBride since I was in sixth grade. We went to a small public school in Wilmington, Del., called Cab Calloway School of the Arts. It was an unconventional school, to say the least. There were no sports teams. No traditional social cliques. None of the usual student-teacher antagonisms (for the most part). At Cab, school musicals trumped football games any day of the week. If you stood out like a sore thumb at any other school’s dances, you’d probably fit right in at Cab," Richards wrote. "After being one of Tim’s best friends for six years, I know that Cab had the same effect on him. As a result of our schooling, our friends, and our families, we both have developed a strong sense of what we value—and yes, diversity is a large part of that."

You can listen to Tim's big coming out @AmericanU 🏳️‍⚧️

“For my entire life, I’ve wrestled with my gender identity,” McBride wrote. “It was only after the experiences of this year that I was able to come to terms with what had been my deepest secret: I’m transgender.”

In the article, McBride said that she spent years struggling with her identity and her dream of being a politician. She felt she had to choose one, so she picked the path that seemed easier and less likely to disappoint people.

As student body president, McBride worked to progress the LGBT agenda on campus. She worked within student government to establish gender-neutral housing for first-year students, and helped create an LGBT and queer studies minor.
She wrote in the article, “I told myself that if I could make ‘Tim’ worthwhile for other people by changing the world, that being ‘Tim]’ would be worthwhile.”

Last night “Sarah” McBride, Delaware (D) became the first man-pretending-to-be-a-woman 🏳️‍⚧️to win a U.S. House congressional seat.
As a mom of a child who got caught in the gender web when she was only 13, I was curious when and why “Sarah” thought he was trans. In this @NIH article his
mother describes in detail how the tran$ gender industry stole her son. 🧵

1/ “Sarah” delivers the news of his trans-identity to his parents on Christmas Day 2011. His terrified parents search online for answers and learn via @TransEquality that suicide risk goes from 40% to 20% if parents are supportive.

“And then on Christmas Day 2011, our youngest child, then a junior at American University, president of the student body, and who we believed to be our son at the time, came out to us as transgender. We were totally blindsided. I was devastated, crying uncontrollably. I saw my child’s future crumble, feared violence and envisioned discrimination at every turn. Dave went online immediately to the National Center for Transgender Equality, one of the leading transgender advocacy groups in the country. When he read that more than 40% of transgender people attempt suicide, his heart dropped. But he also read that that with a loving and supportive family, that percentage drops in half. And with a supportive community, it drops even further.”
2/ Within 5 days, Dr. Egardo Menvielle at @ChildrensNatl in Washington DC, “confirmed that Sarah was transgender” in only one visit.

“Sean (older gay brother in med school) reached out to one of the leading psychiatrists in this country who treats transgender children, Dr. Edgardo Menvielle, at Washington DC Children’s Hospital, and set up an appointment for the three of us just five days after Christmas. Dr. Menvielle met with Sarah first, then Dave and me next, and finally the three of us together. He confirmed that Sarah was transgender, and that she did not have any other psychological issues other than the gender dysphoria. He felt confident that she could reach her full potential and that her future was still bright. For the first time over the last several days, he gave us hope for our child."

People often ask me "where is gender identity ideology in the public schools?"

For almost 2 years now, @libsoftiktok has been sharing receipts from my daughter's captured schools @DJUSD in Davis, California. To record them all in one place, I've made this thread 🧵

Sac State DEI administrators are upset that detransitioner Chloe Cole will be speaking on campus tonight about the 🏳️‍⚧️ tran$ gender industry.

Here is my exposé on how this public institution @sacstate is preying on vulnerable students (quirky, autistic, LGB, lonely, depressed, etc.) to believe they might be "born in the wrong body."

✅ Sac State Pride Center, a welcoming place for students questioning their “gender identity”

✅ If you voice concerns re. gender ideology, you are labeled transphobic, hateful, bigoted by the Chief Diversity Office

✅ Shocking number of trans-identified Sac State students with depression and eating disorders (May 2024 data from American College Health Association)

✅ “Gender affirming care” offered at the Sac State student health services center

✅ All Gender bathrooms and men-pretending-to-be-women should always be welcomed in women’s restrooms

✅ “Intersectionality” identity politics and student activism on Sac State campus

✅ Pronoun rituals and "preferred name" encouraged by the Sac State Queer Trans Faculty and Staff Association (QTFAS)

1/ The @sacstate Pride Center is a place "to support students through their gender identity exploration" with Peer-Queer 1:1 mentorship, safe space training, free gender affirming clothing closet, Lavender Library books on trans/queer topics, etc. 🏳️‍⚧️

csus.edu/student-affair…
2/ Two gender-critical Sac State professor friends of mine leaked this memo to me in response to tonight's @TPUSA event with Chloe Cole.

They are both afraid to speak out publicly, my friend said: "I think the problem of faculty not speaking out has more to do with fear of reprisals, disciplinary actions, investigations, and being condemned and cancelled by the students. The DEI staff and "Inclusion" people we are dealing can call lots of negative attention on conservative views, and we have a Bias Response Team that does intimidating and pseudo legal "investigations.""Image

I wanted proof to show the world there was almost no stopping a trans-identified child from being medically "transitioned" at Kaiser Permanente once your child announced their trans 🏳️‍⚧️ identity. I wanted written records from the pediatricians in my town (Davis, CA) exactly what would be their protocol for medicalizing a child, and if there were any guardrails in place for parents like me who were not affirming.

In order to do this, I pretended my younger child, my 15-year-old son, was interested in starting up on estrogen so he could present as female. Unlike his sister, my son had never experienced any distress over "gender" and wasn't likely to ever see this correspondence between his new pediatrician and me.

Within 2 days, I received all the proof I needed to show how every pediatrician was completely captured by radical gender ideology and no child was safe under Kaiser's care. The responses get more shocking as I ask harder questions 🧵

2/ Within 30 minutes, I hear back from my son's pediatrician. She says kids in Davis are often directly referred to the pediatric gender clinic, about an hour away in Oakland. I had already learned about the "Proud Clinic" with my daughter. This is a one-stop shop for transitioning kids with gender specialist counselors, fertility bank for storing sperm/eggs, and surgeons performing mastectomies "top surgery" on girls as young as 13.Image
3/ My next question is an easy one. "Could you tell me how you make the determination that a patient is 🏳️‍⚧️transgender?" Image
