Court rules against transgender activist who sued beauticians for refusing to wax his male genitals
A transgender activist who filed complaints against several female beauticians after they refused to wax his male genitals has lost his court case, according to a decision released on Tuesday. In 2018 Jonathan Yaniv, now known as Jessica, filed multiple complaints with the Human Rights Council in British Columbia accusing numerous estheticians of denying him service based on his gender identity. Yaniv also accused the women of “forcing their beliefs on society” by using their “religion and culture” to refuse service to “protected groups.” However, in a rare display of common sense, the BC Human Rights Tribunal ruled in favour…
Jury rules against dad trying to save his 7-year-old son from chemical castration via a gender transition
A jury has ruled against a father trying to prevent his seven-year-old son from undergoing a chemical castrating gender “transition.” The youngster’s father, Jeffrey Younger, was fighting for custody of the boy, James, claiming his ex-wife, Anne Georgulas, was “transitioning” their son against the boy’s will.

Trans cyclist says, if you believe trans women are real women, then you can’t exclude trans athletes from women’s sports, it’s a ‘human right’
Transgender athlete Rachel McKinnon has said, if society truly believes trans women are women, then there’s no basis for excluding trans athletes from competing in women’s sports. The 37-year-old Canadian cyclist made headlines last year after setting a world record time winning the women’s 35-44 sprint title at the Masters Track Cycling World Championships. Speaking with Sky News, McKinnon said: “There’s a stereotype that men are always stronger than women, so people think there is an unfair advantage. By preventing trans women from competing or requiring them to take medication, you’re denying their human rights.” “If you want to say,…

A former transgender male in the UK is setting up a charity to support ‘hundreds’ of young transgender people seeking help in returning to their biological sex. The organisation, The Detransition Advocacy Network, was founded by Charlie Evans, a 28-year-old biological female who lived as a transgender male for almost 10 years before de-transitioning.

Judge rules misgendering your child is “family violence”, father found guilty.
A Canadian judge has ruled that parents who fail to recognise and affirm the gender identity of their gender-confused children are guilty of “family violence.” British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Francesca Marzari found the father of a 14-year-old girl guilty after he publicly and privately referred to his daughter as a girl, despite the fact that she now identifies as a boy. According to Marzari’s ruling the father’s “expressions of rejection of [his daughter’s] gender identity, both publicly and privately, constitutes family violence [against the child].” The ruling also prohibits the father from addressing his daughter by her birth name and…

Men who identify as women are being invited to have their non-existent cervix tested.
In July 2017 the publicly funded National Health Service (NHS) in England released a 24 page booklet specifically for transgender and non-binary people. The purpose of the booklet was to provide information regarding available screening programs and further explain who is invited to take part in the publicly funded tests. These tests include, breast screenings, cervical screenings, aortic aneurysm screenings, and bowel screenings. When it comes to breast screenings, both men and women are offered the procedures. Regardless of surgeries or the removal of breasts, breast tissue can still be present, so there is a need for these tests to be completed. However,…

“Opt-in” to gender: Prime Minister Scott Morrison calls Tasmania’s new transgender laws “ridiculous.”
Tasmania’s lower house has passed new transgender laws which will require parents to “opt-in” to having their child’s sex recorded on birth certificates. The amendments will also make it easier for teens as young as 16 to change their gender by simply filing a statutory declaration. Anti-discrimination laws were also broadened making it illegal to offend, insult or discriminate against someone on the basis of their “gender expression.” Refusal to use an individuals preferred pronoun will be regarded as “hate speech.” Martyn Iles, Managing Director of the Australian Christian Lobby, called it “Unhinged, total madness. We think we are gods.”…
