Americans are Pushing Back Against Transgender Activism

Transgender activists and their allies have claimed all of November as Transgender Awareness Month. They’ve also staked out November 20 as Transgender Day of Remembrance.

But with recent events, it’s clear that many Americans have grown weary of the activism and are pushing back against gender ideology.

In addition to the whole of November, the week leading up to the Day of Remembrance, November 13-20, has been designated Transgender Awareness Week, which seems kinda redundant since LGBT activists have already staked out the whole month.

It seems triple or quadruple redundant (is that a thing?) because advocates designated October as LGBT History Month and gender idealogues already celebrated Transgender Day of Visibility earlier this year, on March 31.

That’s not even counting the myriad other awareness days, weeks and months proclaimed by LGBT groups. Pretty sure we’re all aware by now.

Parents should know, in particular, that schools with radical agendas use these days, weeks and months to promote and teach gender ideology to children.

We have deep compassion and concern for those caught up in sexual identity confusion, especially those whose dysphoria is fueled by trauma, sexual abuse and other mental health issues. We want those struggling with this confusion to get appropriate counseling, prayer and healing.

But we don’t what this ideology pushed on us and our families at every turn.

This includes many who identify as lesbian or gay – like the group Gays Against Groomers – even though the gay pride movement helped usher in this era of transgender activism.

Here are just a few recent indicators the transgender juggernaut is losing power and momentum and Americans are fighting for truth against this false ideology.

Americans are upset about damaging, sterilizing medical interventions on confused children.

  • Twenty-one states have voted to protect minors from harmful, dangerous transgender interventions such as puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones and mutilating surgeries.
  • Frequently, laws protecting minors are challenged in court, but several courts have ruled in favor of these laws. Most recently, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an Indiana law safeguarding children. The court said, “Indiana’s voters have decided, through their representatives, legislative and executive, that medical interventions are too risky and novel to be safe treatments for children with gender dysphoria.”
  • More than a dozen detransitioners have sued doctors and clinics for irreparably hurting their bodies with experimental and destructive medical procedures. Women like Chloe Cole, Kayla Lovdahl, Prisha Mosley and Soren Aldaco have filed suits alleging they suffered physical and psychological harms from these treatments.

Americans don’t want men playing women’s sports.

  • In October, The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board published an opinion piece, “Transgender Sports Is a 2024 Sleeper Issue.” The Journal explained many people oppose “having progressive cultural values imposed on them. That includes compelling their daughters to compete against athletes who were born male.”

    The editorial board noted three senators, Ohio’s Sherrod Brown, Montana’s Jon Tester and Wisconsin’s Tammy Baldwin were all under fire in the 2024 election because of their support for boys playing in girls sports. Brown went on to lose by almost 4% and Tester lost by 7%. Baldwin won a tough race by a slim margin of less than 1% of the vote.
  • San Jose State University has received incredible blowback over a transgender-identified player, Blaire Fleming, on the women’s volleyball team. Starting setter and co-captain Brooke Slusser has been outspoken about the danger to female athletes and joined a lawsuit against the NCAA for its transgender policy. Associate head coach Melissa Batie-Smoose was suspended after she filed a Title IX complaint against the Mountain West Conference, and Women’s volleyball teams at five universities have now chosen to forfeit six times rather than play the school.

    More recently, Outkick reported, “A dozen women have filed a lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference and its commissioner, along with officials at San Jose State University.” The suit alleges “violations of Title IX and of their First Amendment rights” for allowing a male to play for San Jose State.

Americans are disturbed by continued privacy and safety issues from boys and men in women-only private spaces. 

  • The Ohio Legislature approved SB104, a measure that requires schools to maintain single-sex bathrooms and private spaces. If signed by the governor, it will be the 14th state to protect children in K-12 schools. Six of those states require single-sex spaces in other government buildings.
  • More and more people who know there are only two sexes are speaking out about men who harm women in restrooms, prisons and locker rooms. Fox News reported on a man who was “transferred out of women’s prison after being indicted on 2 rape counts.” Reddux published an article, “Trans-Identified Male Inmate Who Impregnated Two Women at Female Prison”; the prisoner helped another prisoner, who murdered a woman, to also be transferred to a women’s facility.  

Transgender issues resonated with many American voters and played a part in the 2024 election. One of the most effective political advertisements for President-elect Donald Trump showed Vice President Harris supporting taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for prisoners and “letting biological men compete against girls in their sports.” The ad concluded with this message, “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”

Stemming the tide of transgenderism won’t be easy. We may win legislative and political battles, but only broad cultural change will win the war.

Gender ideology is rooted in deep cultural beliefs, including our notions about what it means to be human, the belief that our sex doesn’t define us – we define ourselves, and thinking our deepest identity comes from sexual attractions, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Transgender ideology stems from post-modern thinking, which says there are no ultimate truths. It comes from Gnosticism, with its deep detachment from physical reality and beliefs that only the mind or spirit are important – the body doesn’t matter. This dogma is grounded in Marxist beliefs that society is divided into oppressors and oppressed. And it’s rooted in the belief that gender dysphoria can’t be healed but must be accommodated by hormonal and surgical interventions.

We may win some battles, but unless these deep-seated falsehoods are defeated by the truth, this sexual confusion, and the devastation it brings, will remain in American culture.

Here’s How to Respond to the Trans Speech Police

How should you respond when someone demands you salute trans ideology in your personal speech?

This question comes after a truly stunning exchange on a recent CNN post-election panel.

Jay Michaelson, a liberal rabbi, professor and Rolling Stone columnist, went apoplectic when fellow panelist Shermichael Singleton, a young, black conservative commentator, simply stated “there are a lot of families out there who don’t believe boys should play girls’ sports.”

Michealson exploded with self-righteous moralism,

They’re not boys! I’m not going to listen to transphobia at this table! I am not going to listen to you call a trans-girl a boy … When you use a word that’s a slur. They’re not boys… I’m not going to sit there and listen to that.

The CNN moderator struggled to get control of the panel, asserting, “Let’s reset for a second because, look, this is a really heated issue, right?” She added,

And, Shermichael, I know that you understand that people have different views on this. I think out of respect for Jay, like let’s try to talk about this in a way that is respectful.

Of course, Singleton, who was simply speaking truth, was the one who was encouraged to be “respectful.” Not Michaelson, who rudely interrupted Singleton, and tried to control the words everyone around the table used.

You can see the lively exchange here.

It is well worth watching just to see what we are up against in the cultural battle over truth and reality. Kudos to Shermichael Singleton for holding his ground and not backing down.

Everyone of us must take note of this. It is instructive to ask “How would I respond in such a situation?”

No one wants to be mean or insensitive to others. And we all want to be liked. But we must also remember to never lose sight of basic reality – that boys are boys and girls are girls. This is one of the most basic, self-evident truths in the universe.  So never, ever be bullied into saying anything that belies this fundamental truth.

And never allow anyone to use your sense of compassion against you, to force you to say things you know are untrue.

You can simply say, “Excuse me. I am someone who identifies as a believer in biological facts and will never apologize for this.” Continue with, “I am an unapologetic conscientious objector to gender ideology and the destructive game it is playing on our generation.”

All of us must refuse to live by lies, even when bullied by others. We should never play the pronoun game. Gender pronouns are the catechism of this new secular religion that is creating such destructive confusion among young and old alike. Pronouns are the gateway drug into gender ideology. They lead to crazy-making at school and in the workplace.

The most powerful thing to do in the face of lies about what it means to be male or female is simply to refuse to play along in any form or fashion. When they call you mean or insensitive, simply reply with all confidence, “You know that is no true. You know the kind of person I am, and I will not be bullied into your game with manipulative insults.”

Declare that you will not allow anyone to police your speech in service to an unsubstantiated, anti-scientific belief system.

And do not be bullied by the baseless canard that suicide results when we don’t affirm people in their new gender identity. It is their go-to move when backed into a corner. It is not true and it is horrifically manipulative.

This recent CNN panel affirms anew that we are very much in a battle for the essence of reality and speech itself. Assure yourself of what you know to be true, gird yourself with that truth, and never be bullied into denying it. No matter how angry others may be, no matter how you are bullied.

 As you do so, others will be emboldened to speak up against the lies of gender ideology. Remember, moral courage is contagious.

Olympic Women’s Boxing Champ is Officially a Man

Imane Khelif, the reigning gold medalist in Olympic women’s boxing, is, in fact, a man, a medical report obtained by Reduxx confirms. The findings highlight the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) willful failure to protect the safety of female Olympians and the integrity of the Paris Games.  

Khelif entered the contest under a cloud of suspicion. The International Boxing Association (IBA) had disqualified him from women’s boxing a year earlier after two independent blood tests concluded he had XY chromosomes.

The IOC knew about these tests but declined to investigate or bar Khelif from competing. Instead, officials relied heavily on 2024 Olympic regulations identifying women solely by their female passports. Any questions about Khelif’s biology were quickly rebuffed or minimized.

“These boxers are entirely eligible,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams lectured, referring to Khelif and silver medalist Lu Yu-Ting, who also has XY chromosomes. “They are women on their passports. It’s not helpful to start stigmatizing like this. We all have a responsibility not to turn it into some kind of witch-hunt.”

IOC President Thomas Bach doubled down: “We are talking about women’s boxing. We have two boxers who were born as women, raised as women, who have passports as women and who have competed for many years as women. This is a clear definition of a woman.”

Bach later claimed, “There was never any doubt of [Khelif and Yu-Ting] being women.”

Bach is wrong on two counts. A woman is a human with XX chromosomes or, alternatively, a human designed to produce large gametes. Living as a woman or having a female passport does not make someone female.

The IBA blood tests also raised substantial doubts about Khelif’s biological sex. His opening bout against Italy’s Angela Carini only raised suspicions higher. If the IOC had investigated these claims, it might have discovered that Khelif had been diagnosed with a rare disorder of sexual development (DSD) in 2023 —one that absolutely excludes him from competing against women.  

In August 2023, expert endocrinologists Souymaya Fedala and Jacques Young determined Khelif had 5-Alpha-Reductase deficiency, a developmental disorder that only affects males.

Infants with 5-alpha produce too little dihydrotestosterone, which causes them to be born with ambiguous genitalia. Doctors often mistake babies with 5-alpha for girls. But, importantly, this disorder does not stop the production or effect of testosterone. A person with 5-alpha will go through male puberty —which is when most find out their true sex.

5-alpha is a terrible, disorienting disorder. It also categorically disqualifies sufferers from participating in female sports. Fedala and Young’s analysis found Khelif had XY chromosomes, normal male levels of testosterone and male reproductive organs. That means he has the same chromosomal and hormonal advantages all men have over women athletically, including heavier bones, bulkier musclers, broader shoulder and larger hearts and lungs.

Khelif and his coaches received this diagnosis more than a year before his Olympic debut. He and his team decided to compete anyway, indulging in a televised display of violence made more shocking by its intentionality.

The IOC had all the information they needed to stop Khelif from participating. The barest hint of an investigation would have revealed the larger report released by Reduxx — Khelif’s coach had already alluded to it publicly.

Instead, the IOC gave Khelif a gold medal.

The whole debacle represents an egregious failure of the organization’s mission to “encourage and support the promotion of ethics and good governance in sport … and to dedicate its efforts to ensuring that, in sport, the spirit of fair play prevails, and violence is banned.”

Marshi Smith, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, puts it this way as she spoke to Reduxx:

The IOC and the Algerian Olympic Committee are complicit in endorsing male violence against women under the guise of public entertainment on the world’s largest sport stage. They stood by as women were subjected to physical assault for spectacle, stripped of safety, fairness, and their lifetime achievements. All those involved must face swift and serious consequences.

Smith continues:

We urge leaders in sports and governments worldwide to condemn the IOC and demand a public commitment to ensuring fair and safe sports for women from this day forward. This must never be allowed to happen again.

First and foremost, the IOC must officially define what a woman is, rather than leaving it up to individual nations. Checking passports does nothing to determine a competitor’s biological advantage. IOC officials must find their courage to adhere to truth, instead of ideology.

On behalf of the female population, I hereby exhort the IOC to, well, grow a pair.

San Jose Coach Suspended for Filing Discrimination Complaint Against Transgender Player

Melissa Batie-Smoose, women’s volleyball associate head coach at San José State University, was suspended over the weekend after she filed a Title IX complaint asking the Mountain West Conference and the NCAA to investigate the school for discriminating against female athletes in favor of a “transgender” player, Blaire Fleming.

The male-bodied athlete has been the source of contention both for the Spartans and other schools.

Women’s volleyball teams at five universities have now chosen to forfeit six times rather than play San José State, Outkick reported. The latest, Boise State, has now forfeited twice, as women on the team refused to face a male player.

Women volleyballers at the University of Nevada even held a press conference during the time their game would have been played, stating their opposition to men in women’s sports.

A report from Quillette’s Jonathan Kay, “College Volleyball’s Spartan Meltdown,” explains the two key issues from the Title X complaint. Batie-Smoose asked the conference and the NCAA to look into:

1. The overt favouritism [sic] that she believes her school has shown to Fleming, at the expense of Fleming’s 18 female teammates; and
2. The unsettling measures that SJSU officials have allegedly taken in order to suppress expressions of concern from these affected women.

Kay also details some of Batie-Smoose’s allegations in her 33-page sworn declaration:

  • Neither Batie-Smoose nor incoming athletes were informed there would be a transgender player on the team because “SJSU has a policy of withholding such information from all newly recruited staff and athletes.” Fleming, a senior in his third season with the Spartans, only came out to the team as transgender in April 2024.
  • Fleming had “raw physical power” beyond most female athletes; what “stood out was spiking the [ball] and blocking on the front row, due to Fleming’s leaping ability and hitting power.”
  • Assistant Director of Student Wellness Laura Alexander told head coach Todd Kress, “Anyone opposed to Fleming’s inclusion on the women’s team should leave SJSU and seek ‘therapy.’”
  • While female athletes were “required to pretend that Fleming’s biologically male status is athletically inconsequential,” they were also “scared to even mention the fact that Fleming is transgender.”
  • Fleming’s “presence on the court” was not only “unfair to other athletes, but possibly dangerous as well.”
  • “Even defenders on Fleming’s own team, concerned for their safety, now sometimes turn away during practice matches when Fleming is winding up for a kill – a fear response … virtually unheard of in women’s volleyball.”

“The social atmosphere on the team has degenerated rapidly during the 2024 season, and now may be described as toxic, joyless, and dysfunctional,” Kay reports.

SJSU’s co-captain Brooke Slusser has been outspoken about the danger to female athletes and the unfairness of a male taking a woman’s spot on the team.

Alarmingly, the complaint details that Fleming may have conspired with an opposing team’s player, Colorado State University’s right-side-hitter Malaya Jones, to target Slusser on the court. Kay reports:

During that match, Batie-Smoose claims in her Title IX Complaint, Fleming’s play style was bizarre. Fleming defied her coaches’ instructions by allowing Jones an unhindered diagonal hitting lane that exposed Slusser to kills.
Batie-Smoose also reports that she repeatedly saw Fleming laughing together with Jones after the latter targeted Slusser in this manner. Fleming’s behaviour was reportedly so strange that even Kress expressed concern, and took Fleming aside for a one-on-one talk.

“At one point, Blaire sent an over pass, perfectly setting up Malaya to kill the ball again in the direction of Brooke Slusser, after [which] Jones blew a kiss toward Fleming and mouthed ‘thank you,’” Batie-Smoose told the reporter.

In September 2024, “Slusser joined more than a dozen female athletes in suing the NCAA for Title IX violations,” reported Outkick:

The class-action lawsuit, originally filed in March and funded by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS), states that the NCAA has knowingly violated Title IX by allowing transgender athletes to compete against women and to use women’s locker rooms in collegiate sports.

The Daily Citizen applauds women like Melissa Batie-Smoose and Brooke Slusser who are willing to battle for women’s sports. Women deserve safe spaces where they can grow and develop as competitors – without men intruding.

Drag Queen at Seven Years Old — The Sobering Reality of Children in Drag

Many toddlers with an early affinity for dance end up in ballet or tap class. Seven-year-old Asa’s parents helped him become, “The most FABULOUS 7yo gender nonconforming Baby Drag Queen ever.”

A video compilation of Asa performing as his drag alter-ego, LuLu Lovely Twirls, collected more than three million views on X (formerly Twitter) this week over at least three accounts. Some clips show him holding hands with scantily dressed men. Others show him collecting tips from spectators.

The post draws heavily from a VICE video profile featuring Asa and his parents, who claim their son’s drag performances are no different than dance recitals.

“[Our kids] all do different sports. They all have different activities that they do. But we have a child that’s interested in something that’s maybe not as traditional,” Asa’s dad told cameras.

“If he were a girl doing these exact same things, no one would be saying anything,” the seven-year-old’s mom added.

In the mini-documentary, Asa’s parents’ parrot two false narratives the Daily Citizen confronts often — that indulging gender ideology is compassionate and inclusive, and that sexual preferences and behaviors are part of a person’s identity.

In reality, they’ve set their son up for a lifetime of confusion and exploitation.

“Would Asa Want to Wear A Dress?”

The seven-year-old’s parents work hard to abdicate responsibility for their son’s hobby.

“Asa refers to himself as a drag queen,” his mom assures cameras. “He does it very proudly.”

“He’s done this since he was four, five and now six years old,” his dad claims, recalling how much Asa loved dancing as a toddler.

But it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Asa wouldn’t be in this predicament without his parents’ encouragement and instruction. Asa never spontaneously expressed interest in drag. He saw his first drag show at the tender age of four when his parents brought him to a Pride parade.

“[My wife] thought it would be a good way to bring our kids in and let them see the diversity of the world around us,” Asa’s dad explained, looking at his wife for confirmation.

Asa’s mom said her son became “obsessed with drag” for a year after his first exposure, which she claims “led to [the couple asking], ‘Would Asa ever want to wear a dress?’” Eventually, she bought him one.

Young children respond notoriously poorly to overwhelming, life-defining choices and notoriously well to positive reinforcement. Assuming he wasn’t hopelessly confused by choosing his gender and pronouns, there’s little reason Asa would refuse wearing a dress if it got him positive attention.

Notably, Asa told interviewers he wouldn’t wear a dress to school. Outside his character, Asa said he was a boy. As “Lulu Lovely Twirls,” the six-year-old said his pronouns were “she/they”.

Most young children can’t identify pronouns — at all at least not without an adult’s help.

A particularly disturbing incident occurred sometime after Asa’s mom bought him a dress. This is how she tells the story.

[Asa] said to me one day, “I’m going to go put on my dress and I am going to sing, and you’re going to video me and put me on Facebook so everybody can give me likes.” And I said, “Okay.” And that’s the video that really kind of spurred this journey, because I shared that video, and that’s how we got invited to the first [drag queen] brunch. That just led us to subsequent invitations.

It’s difficult to imagine Asa voicing this request independently. Regardless, his mom subsequently decided to film that video, share it on a platform infamous for child exploitation, and accept an invitation for her six-year-old to perform at an adult drag queen brunch.

That’s three conscious decisions to endanger her son.

Now, Asa’s parents say he performs at one event a month. They pay for hand-trimmed wigs and costumes. “There’s even adult performers he can sometimes outperform,” his mom bragged.

To people who worry Asa will later regret his drag days, his mom simply replies:

We’ve talked about it, and at the end of the day, we’ve raised a good ally and he’s done nothing wrong.
Not Born This Way

Asa’s mom repeatedly implies her son was destined to be a drag queen.

“He puts together and produces his own numbers for drag shows,” she explains. “I am in awe constantly with the fact that he can just maneuver and work the stage on a dime. It’s something innate in him.”

“It’s like he was born to do this,” she fawns another time, painting thick pink makeup over Asa’s eyelids.

These comments go beyond minimizing her responsibility. They make drag performance out to Asa’s identity — one of the essential, unchanging characteristics at the core of his being.

It isn’t. The God-given talents that make Asa a good performer aren’t his whole identity, either.

People’s talents, gifts, preferences, relationships, behaviors and passion for drag can all change. The only constant traits are sex, which dictates the construction of every human cell, and status as child of God.

Asa is a son of God. He wasn’t born to be anything else.

X-Rated

Asa’s mom claims “indecent drag” doesn’t take place in front of children.

If the clips of Asa picking up tips, mimicking traditionally provocative dance moves wearing fishnet stockings, and standing surrounded by men in varying states of undress represents “decent drag” — who knows what “indecent drag” entails.

Dubious, “kid-friendly” messaging doesn’t change that drag is inherently sexual.

The first documented “queen of drag” used the costume in sexual escapades. According to investigative journalist Christopher Rufo’s detailed exposé on drag, this man later spent 300 days in jail for running a brothel.

In the late 1960’s, drag became a means for the disenfranchised to topple established sexual norms. Performances would imitate taboo practices including bestiality, necrophilia and pedophilia to protest the domination of monogamy and marriage.

These roots did not disappear when RuPaul re-packaged the drag queen for common consumption. The dance moves, pageantry and caricature of womanhood come from a distinctly profane, sexual place. Asa’s parents allow their small son to partake in it all.

Asa’s receipt of tips is particularly problematic given a study of drag culture by queer theorist Sarah Hankins. The academic called the drag scene a “sociosexual economy” where people paid for sexual gratification. She writes of her experience,

As an audience member, I have always experienced the tip exchange as payment for sexual gratification. And I am aware that by holding up dollar bills, I can satisfy my arousal, at least partially: I can bring performers’ bodies close to mine and induce them to touch me or let me touch them.

Seven-year-old children are morally and legally precluded from providing sexual gratification for money. But Asa is — and his parents are cheering him on.

Why It Matters

Asa’s case exemplifies a larger cultural acceptance of children participating in drag. It’s vitally important for citizens to comprehend this perversion so they can intervene on behalf of children like Asa.

This case interacts with other deep, cultural flaws. Most states haven’t pursued bills preventing children from attending drag shows. At least two have failed — including one in Asa’s home state of Nebraska. Meanwhile, parents who disagree with gender ideology have been denied the opportunity to foster and adopt children. In some heartbreaking cases, families have had their children taken away for refusing to affirm their gender confusion.

The Daily Citizen reminds you not to grow desensitized to these issues. Evil should always grieve us. If you’re looking to help, remember to vote in this election! You can find other ways to get involved by contacting your state’s Focus on the Family-allied Family Policy Council.
