  • Cass in America

    , there’s no end in sight in the US, where the debate has taken on distinctly partisan contours. Red states have attempted to ban the procedures, while the Biden administration has promoted childhood gender transitions throughout the federal government.

    At bottom, then, it's about the ideology. The left buys into the gender cult, under the familiar mantra that "gender-affirming care" – puberty blockers and all the rest – reduces the risk of suicide.

    Meanwhile:

    A new study hot off the press has confirmed what most of us already knew: people who get "gender-affirming" surgery have more than 12 times higher instances of suicide attempts than those who don't get the surgeries.

  • Under Sharia Law

    style=”padding-left: 40px”>If the situation were reversed, a non-Muslim would NOT have the same right.

    Arvin’s family has begged the Muslim man’s family to show mercy, and have even offered financial compensation, but the family has refused. They demand that the Jewish man be put to DEATH.

    Arvin’s desperate mother is begging the international community to raise awareness of Arvin’s impending execution which has been postponed to Monday.

  • At the Central California Women’s Facility

    ee months prior, and formally established the ability of inmates to be housed on the basis of their gender identity in California.

    And off he goes, this violent sexual predator, to the women's prison. What could possibly go wrong?

    The ACLU were involved, of course:

    Ironically, Carroll is one of the trans-identified males intervening in a lawsuit that seeks to prevent males from being housed in women’s prisons in California. The lawsuit, launched against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, includes four female inmates who all stated they had been victimized by trans-identified male transfers.

    In 2022, the ACLU intervened in the case, suggesting that the state of California could not adequately fight the lawsuit and represent the interests of trans-identified males.

    In his sworn testimony collected by the ACLU for the case, Carroll declared: “I know what it feels like to live in fear and to carry the weight of the past abuse by men. But I am not a threat [to women]. I strongly believe that everyone here at CCWF would benefit from more structured interaction — opportunities to sit and talk with each other and realize that we’re all in the same boat.”

    Added: there are protests:

  • A “no-go area” for Jews and Israelis

    style=”padding-left: 40px”>It also details a list of 70 incidents that are alleged to have occurred since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel on Oct 7.

    The letter says a group of students told a Jewish student that “the Jews control the American government”, “Jews are everywhere”, and that they had “a Jewish nose”.

    In another incident, the signatories said: “In vigils for the [Israeli] hostages, university members, mainly students, shouted at us, told us we are kid murderers, that we are spreading conspiracy theories and ‘Zionist propaganda’, and they vandalised our displays for the hostages. In fact, almost every time we did such a display, it was vandalised by organised groups from the university.”

    They also claim that calls for violence are constantly heard in pro-Palestinian protests in Oxford, such as calling for the elimination of the Jewish state, “Palestine from the river to the sea”, “Intifada”, “the resistance is justified”, “globalise the Intifada”, “Israel is a terror state”, “From Oxford to Gaza: long live the Intifada”, “Israel, Oxford, USA, how many kids did you kill today?”.

    It rhymes! So clever. A copy, of course, of the old Vietnam protest chant "Hey hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" But with considerably less force. It's all tawdry and secondhand – and powered by the usual antisemitic tropes.

    The letter, which was sent last week, states: “Those places at the university, sometimes during working hours, became a no-go area for most Israelis and Jewish for seven months now.”

    Speaking on condition of anonymity, a Jewish student who is one of the letter’s authors, said: “This has been an issue since October and the university has not addressed anything or given any resources to dealing with this.

    “There seems to be a problem regarding the academic information given out by the university on the matter of Jewish and Israeli people. Faculty members and hosted speakers feel comfortable to really spread misinformation without any type of monitoring from the university or any type of response. This just creates this mentality where people feel comfortable to tell other Jewish students that they control the banks and that anti-Semitism doesn’t exist – and this is Oxford University.”

  • “That played with my anxiety”

    From the Cumberland News:

    A supermarket worker who made indecent images of a child failed to attend court because she was scared to face ‘who she used to be’.

    Emma Davies, 59, admitted making two Category C indecent images of a child when she appeared before magistrates in Workington on Tuesday.

    She also admitted she had failed to surrender to court bail the previous day and apologised to magistrates for this.

    Davies said: “Because of who I now am, although the responsibility is now mine, the person I used to be, throughout my life, this has always been there.

    “I was having to face who I used to be. I was terrified. I didn’t know how you were going to address me in court. That played with my anxiety.” Referring to a name change, the defendant added: “It’s a legal status now and everything.”

    This is, in other words, a man, charged with a serious sexual offence, who now plays the victim since he's grown his hair and claims to be a woman.

    Davies, of Moor Place, Frizington, was granted bail, with conditions not to reside at any premises where children under the age of 18 are present and not to have any unsupervised contact with children under 18, as is unavoidable in the course of everyday life.

    This would allow the defendant to continue her job at Asda, the court heard.

    Keith Southward, chair of the magistrates’ panel, told Davies: “You will be addressed as you wish to be addressed, so don’t worry about it.”

    Well phew. We'd hate to see him misgendered or anything.
