Hi everyone!
It was a banner day for all of us who have been fighting to restore sanity in America. Stanford Medical said they would stop offering medical sex change surgeries to minors—yes, the same thing Democrats told us was absolutely NOT happening. "Stanford Medicine paused providing gender-related surgical procedures as part of our comprehensive range of medical services for LGBTQ+ patients," they said in a statement. No patients under 19-years-old will be subjected to these barbaric so-called treatments designed to make them look like the opposite sex.
The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles already shut their pediatric gender clinic down under threat of losing federal funding, and it's high time every single children's hospital in the nation follows suit. Boston Children's Hospital, which is the location of the very first children's gender clinic in the country, is still operating, still doling out drugs, hormones, and mastectomies, still thinking they're doing the right thing by lying to children about their sex. It's my hope that they are next on the chopping block, before another kid is.
To get this horror stopped, the Trump administration is looking at stopping Medicaid and Medicare payments to those hospitals that continue their gender clinics for minors. In response to that threat, Boston Children's Hospital said it did not intend to shut it down. "We uphold this responsibility with the utmost seriousness," they said.
There are nine hospitals that are under inquiry by the Trump administration: Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s National Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland, Children’s Hospital Colorado, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Per HHS, these are the hospitals that are at the vanguard of child sex changes. Some have taken action, others like Boston, have not.
In yet another win for women and girls, the University of Pennsylvania has agreed to both apologize and restore titles and records to those women who lost out due to the inclusion of trans swimmer Lia Thomas. Coming in at over 6' tall, Thomas decided he was a woman after finishing in the bottom rankings during meets against men and then proceeded to hang out in women's locker rooms watching the girls get changed before stealing their wins and records in the pool.
"Today’s resolution agreement with UPenn is yet another example of the Trump effect in action," said Education Secretary Linda McMahon. "Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, UPenn has agreed both to apologize for its past Title IX violations and to ensure that women’s sports are protected at the University for future generations of female athletes." An old friend of mine who works at UPenn messaged me with a strong arm emoji and said she "used to see Will 'Lia' Thomas on campus—dude is huge," I suggested that he looked like a giant man with a weird sex fetish.
The school, it turns out, was in violation of Title IX. Saying you're giving women equal access but at the same time saying that some men are women is not actually compliant with the letter or the intent of the amendment. Joe Biden's attempt to rewrite history and claim that sex is somehow equivalent to the fantasy of gender identity is officially, at least federally, out the window. It's amazing a) that anyone ever bought that bullsh*t in the first place, and b) that those who spoke up against it were silenced, harassed, cancelled, fired, etc. The assistant volleyball coach at San Jose State who sided with the female players against the inclusion of a man on the team should be reinstated, with full back pay.
And in a little case you may have forgotten about, an elderly woman named Julia Jamon won a settlement against a local YMCA in her town of Port Townsend, Washington, after she spoke out against a male staffer watching little girls get undressed from their swimsuits after their time in the pool. The guy was supposedly a counselor, and was treated as a woman even though he was a man who said he was a woman, and was given oversight of these little girls. Jamon was horrified when she stepped out of the showers to find the fella sitting there with the little girls, talked to management, and was permanently banned from the pool. Even the local mayor sided with the fella over the old woman.
Now she's got a settlement of $65,000, but the most important thing is the recognition that she was right to speak out and men who think they are women and like to dress up in women's swimsuits and hang around women's locker rooms shouldn't be authorized by management to watch little girls get undressed.
There was other big news yesterday, lest we forget, including that the Big Beautiful Bill passed the Senate with a tie-breaker in from VP JD Vance, but with tons of little nit-picky changes, and now it has to head back to the House for another round of voting before it lands on the president's Resolute Desk. They're aiming for Friday, our nation's 249th birthday, for that one. Trump also backed a plan for the census to count ONLY Americans and base Congressional representation on that.
Trump joined Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for a tour of the immigration detention facility Alligator Alcatraz and the two took questions about that and a bunch of other stuff. Trump gave instructions on how to outrun an alligator. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said there was one guy they deported, a cannibal, who tried to eat himself while on the plane out. I don't know where he's going, but I'm glad he's not staying here.
The Diddy jury got stuck on one point, and the judge wouldn't take it so he sent them back to try again. The man who murdered four Idaho State College students for no apparent reason other than that he liked the smell of blood is set to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty.
Oh, and it looks like Trump may have finally secured peace between Israel and Gaza, no big deal.
