Youngkin Unveils New Trans Policy for Schools
by James A. Bacon The Youngkin administration has issued a new set of model policies designed to uphold the “privacy, dignity and respect” of all students and parents in Virginia public schools, replacing a policy put into effect by the Northam administration in 2021. The new policies strike me as eminently reasonable. The guidelines make…

VCU Police Department Signals Its Wokeness
by James A. Bacon A new “resource” will be available to the LGBTQIA+ community in Richmond. Virginia Commonwealth University — yes, the same institution that recently lost $470,000 in a cyber scam — has assigned two campus patrol officers as “campus LGBTQIA+ liaisons.” A recent university announcement noted that VCU Police Chief John Venuti has…

Taking Food From Needy Children to Advance the Trans Agenda
by Kerry Dougherty This ought to be the number one campaign issue in the U.S. right now: the Biden administration’s radical plan to starve the National School Lunch program unless states adopt far-left gender identity rules for schools that include allowing biological boys to compete in girls’ sports. This outrageous federal blackmail leaves states struggling…

Virginia Must Ensure Transgender Medical Treatment Is Safe
by James C. Sherlock Attorney Hans Bader and I in parallel articles have pointed out the serious questions posed by national and international experts about current medical practices in gender transitions for minors. Those questions include both the ethics of the diagnosis and treatment processes in use and the safety of the puberty blockers and cross-gender hormones…

“After all, we are not in Wonderland”
by Kerry Dougherty Here’s a quaint idea: If you’re a trans person going through hormone treatment, don’t get involved with drug dealers. Definitely don’t help them in their illegal business. If you do, you might get caught, convicted and sentenced to jail. And authorities might toss you in a facility housing others that match your…

Schools Will Contribute to Suicides Under Current Virginia Transgender Student Guidelines
by James C. Sherlock Teen suicide is a major problem in America and Virginia. The Virginia Department of Health reported in 2021 that suicide is the second leading cause of death among Virginia’s youth. I have talked around but not about teen suicide in previous articles about transgender adolescents. A study published by the National Institutes of…

Governor Youngkin Can Restore Parental Rights in the Treatment of Transgender Children in Schools with the Stroke of a Pen
by James C. Sherlock “Gov. Youngkin criticized after calling on teachers with LGBTQ students to tell parents” is a headline in The Virginian-Pilot. Apparently, “Gov. Youngkin calls on teachers with LGBTQ students to tell parents” did not make the cut. Narrative shaping 101. Now consider these statements of government opinion: “If she has to tell…

A Pedophile By Any Other Name
by Kerry Dougherty Remember Allyn Walker, the ODU assistant professor who was indignant last fall because pedophiles get such a bad rap? We wrote several posts about Walker, who prefers we use the much more pleasant euphemism “minor-attracted person” to describe perverts who are sexually attracted to children. If you thought Walker was alone in…

VCU Seeking Prof to Teach Black Queer Antiracist Anticolonial Feminism
by James A. Bacon Virginia Commonwealth University is hiring an assistant professor to teach “Race in Arts/Media, queer of color critique and Black feminist media studies.” That’s quite the academic specialty. I can’t imagine there are many such scholars around. Once upon a time, I would have questioned whether there was any demand for graduates…

Stop Erasing Women
by Kerry Dougherty Keep it up, lefties. I’m begging you. Keep spouting anti-science inanities and do it as loudly as possible until you drive every single normal person away from the Democratic Party. Seriously, don’t stop. What am I talking about? You have to see this to believe it: https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1546906017589608449?s=20&t=86-z28K9EUhxklJFV_XAHQ

The “Occasional” Butchery of Children
By James C. Sherlock The New York Post wrote recently: At 12 years old, Chloe Cole decided she was transgender. At 13, she was put on puberty blockers and prescribed testosterone. At 15, she underwent a double mastectomy. Less than a year later, she realized she’d made a mistake. Note the gracious acceptance of agency…

Some statistics: Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.

JMU: Where Not Only Are You Wrong, But How Dare You Ask?
by James A. Bacon Western Civilization went more than 2,000 years with people dividing the world between male and female. About 10 years ago, the idea gained traction in the United States that gender wasn’t based on biology — XX and XY chromosomes — but was a social construct. Within an extraordinarily short time, transgender…

UVa, Defend Your Women!
Letter to the University of Virginia Board of Visitors from Walter Smith. Now that International Transgender Day of Visibility is behind us, it is safe to discuss your lack of visibility in the matter regarding UVa student Emma Weyant, who, in the world where reality and truth are valued, is the true women’s NCAA 500…

The Relentless Push for Child Gender Transition
by James C. Sherlock On the odd chance you missed it, the Biden administration announced a flurry of new measures today, designated the Transgender Day of Visibility. (I need to keep up.) The Washington Post reported on the festivities. What that story did not report is the celebration’s most important “feature.” HHS today announced Biden administration support…
