The failed bill would have banned puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender surgeries for minors.

The Republican governor ordered that all Florida superintendents be notified that no school ‘should begin implementing any changes’ demanded by Biden’s new pro-LGBT Title IX rule.

“The Biden administration now says that “sex” means “gender identity.” So, what does this mean for K-12 teachers?”

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling on Monday requiring state health insurance plans to pay for gender transition surgeries, a decision that comes amid a nationwide struggle over transgender healthcare policy. The ruling came in a set of cases in West Virginia and North Carolina, in which state officials justified not covering the surgeries, including double mastectomies and vaginoplasties, on the basis of cost rather than on considerations related to gender identity and expression.

On April 12, the Bundestag, or the German parliament, “passed one of the world’s most far-reaching sex self-determination policies,” Reduxx reported. This radical legislation, it added, “establishes ‘gender identity’ as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children’s documents from birth.”

Roman Catholic bishops in England and Wales released guidance last week urging against medical and social transitioning for trans-identified children. “Medical intervention for children should not be supported,” the bishops wrote in an April 24 document titled “Intricately Woven by the Lord,” which serves as a “pastoral reflection on gender.” “Social ‘transition’ can have a formative effect on a child’s development and this should be avoided with young children.”

Some local parents are outraged by the staging of “Kinky Boots” at a high school and voiced “strong objection” to both the content of the musical and the associated events.

What does it take for a federal court to reach the outcome it wants—instead of the outcome that the law demands? Apparently, just some creative judicial gymnastics.

Tennessee state legislators passed a measure on Thursday that would criminalize adults who help minors access gender-transition services without parental consent.
