“This proposal seeks to clarify that hospitals participating in our programs cannot conduct these unproven procedures on children,” said CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz in a press release. “CMS will ensure that federal program standards reflect our responsibility to promote the health and safety of children.” The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, is led by the attorneys general of New York, Oregon, and Washington.

Did you know Australia no longer has a biological definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ in federal law? No wonder our nation is confused. This isn’t an abstract legal glitch. It’s a cultural earthquake and we’re all living in the aftershocks. When the law deletes biological reality, it reflects something deeper: a nation rejecting God and rejecting truth.
This was four men “marrying” each other. This was not a legal ceremony as polygamy is not legal in Germany, but the clergywoman said it was “marriage in the eyes of God.” But it is no such thing since God defines marriage as one man for one woman and calls the relationship these four men have with each other an abomination (Leviticus 20:13) and evidence of God turning them over to “dishonorable passions” and then to “a debased mind to do what ought not to be done” (Romans 1:26, 28).
“Nearly all U.S. hospitals participate in Medicare and Medicaid and this action is designed to ensure that the U.S. government will not be in business with organizations that intentionally or unintentionally inflict permanent harm on children,” the HHS press release stated. “Sex-rejecting procedures on children—which include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations—expose them to irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects.”
The order properly explained, "This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria. This policy is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual’s sex."
“Puberty blockers, and the cross-sex hormones that so often follow them, are highly dangerous drugs that can cause long-lasting damage to children—impacting their bodily development, bone density, mental health, lifelong fertility, and more,” explained Miller. “It is scandalous to expose children to these drugs, and it is scandalous to silence and jail those who speak out about it. No one should fear arrest for defending children’s safety.”
In order to continue with semester registration, students must achieve “a perfect score,” which requires them to answer in ways that align with gender ideology, including that “failing to use one’s self-declared trans pronouns or protesting the presence of men in women’s restrooms constitutes a hostile environment and qualifies as harassment.”
While Poland’s justice minister confirmed that the government will implement the ruling, the office of President Karol Nawrocki declared that Poland “will not succumb to the terror of rainbow rulings.” If the EU deems Poland in violation of implementing the ruling, the country could face ongoing fines until it complies.
It is one thing to feel sorry for an adult who made a decision to mutilate their own body. But today, children are often put on the path of gender transition very early. A child could start to be “socially transitioned”—i.e., called by an opposite sex name, encouraged to wear opposite sex clothes, and be referred to as the opposite sex—as early as the toddler years. This is usually called harmless and reversible, but it puts into motion a series of events that is, in practice, rarely halted.
“Science, when pursued honestly, eventually catches up to biblical truth,” Perkins posted. “This new federal report confirms what many have long warned—that rushing vulnerable young people into irreversible procedures was driven more by ideology than evidence. It vindicates every parent, pastor, doctor, and policymaker who refused to bow to the deception of this age.”
These men, who dress like women and call themselves “dolls,” work hard to ensure that women have no private spaces and that men who say they are women are treated just like women—which means there’s really no such thing as a woman at all! That certainly doesn’t sound like they are making the world “a little bit better and brighter for women.”
Without the biblical worldview, eventually everything ends in inconsistency and absurdity because, as Romans 1:22 puts it, “Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” This was perfectly highlighted in an exchange that took place in San Diego on Halloween night and was caught on video.
Obergefell is legal fiction pulled out of thin air that jeopardizes the religious liberty of countless Americans who believe in God’s definition of marriage. Obergefell’s days are numbered, and we will not rest until it is overturned. Until then, we must pray, fight, and contend for when Obergefell is no longer the law of the land.
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to deny the petition for certiorari in Davis v. Ermold is heartbreaking for Kim Davis and for religious freedom,” the organization’s founder and chairman Mat Staver said in a statement.
The U.S. Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a win on Thursday, allowing the Department of State to require that passports identify people based solely on their biological sex, not their “gender identity.”
"May Lau has done untold damage to children, both physically and psychologically, and the surrendering of her Texas medical license is a major victory for our state. [But] my case against her for breaking the law will continue, and we will not relent in holding anyone who tries to 'transition' kids accountable."
Nowadays, it’s not so rare — nor so shocking — to hear of the latest stories of female athletes forced to compete against — or courageously refusing to face — biological males identifying as women. We can be grateful for an administration that has confronted this radical ideology, and for the growing chorus of voices unafraid to call out this madness. Yet, beneath the surface lies a deeper, more urgent question: what lies at the heart of this cultural phenomenon?
“Kim Davis’ case underscores why the U.S. Supreme Court should overturn the wrongly decided Obergefell opinion because it threatens the religious liberty of Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.”
However, there’s no doubt trans ideology was enthusiastically promoted by the previous administration, and now that this has changed dramatically, we see a change in younger generations identifying as transgender. This tells us something about what the real issue is—and it’s certainly a spiritual one.
“This case isn’t about books; it’s about public officials telling an employee that he isn’t allowed to express a view that differs from their own,” said ADF Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer, director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom. “Our legal system is built on the truth that the government can’t silence a speaker just because it disapproves of what he says."
The class description for Khubchandani’s class on “Queer Ethnography” is very revealing. “This class introduces students in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies to ethnographic research methods as they pertain to exploring questions of bodies, pleasure, power, and desire,” the website reads, without defining “women.”
“Clearly it is, at least in some cases, a fashion,” Mohler said. “It is popular. You’re unpopular. You want to be popular in a peer group. Well, adopt an LGBTQ identity. And then all of a sudden, you’re a protected class.” Mohler brings in an argument some LGBTQ advocates have formerly rejected but are now using themselves—that cultural whims, not biology, are driving much of how people identity.
“This is the biggest indicator yet that we aren’t just winning politically but the entire culture is shifting and waking up to the horrors of gender ideology,” wrote de-transitioner Chloe Cole on X. “Let’s finish the job! Every de-transitioner should sue their doctors for every penny they have.”
The student-led event took place at Roseburg High School on October 8. Boys and girls alike left their seventh period class to join a crowd of supportive adults outside. They lined the street outside the school, waving signs proclaiming girls’ right to privacy.
Franklin Graham has repeatedly spoken up about boys and men participating in female sports. “This is an issue that needs to be addressed in all sports across the board for the protection and rights of women and girls both now and for the future,” he said.
This language evidently reflects the influence of detransitioners, who have petitioned federal officials for justice but have found their efforts blocked by much shorter statutes of limitations. In fact, Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested as much in a press release. “The Department of Justice has heard from far too many families who have been devastated by mutilative medical procedures that fly in the face of basic biology,” she said.
Pete Hegseth has fired Navy Commander Janelle Marra, who had been serving as “Deputy Medical Director for Transgender Healthcare” at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. In announcing the move on Twitter, Secretary Hegseth’s communication was short and blunt, writing: “Pronouns UPDATED: She/Her/Fired”
"The officer mentioned the term 'trans people.' I asked him what he meant by the phrase. 'People who feel their gender is different then what was assigned at birth,' he said. 'Assigned at birth?' I responded. 'Our sex isn’t assigned.' He called it semantics. I told him he was using activist language."
Scripture calls us to love our neighbor, and real love means protecting women from being forced to share intimate spaces with men, no matter how they identify. Christians should be the first to insist that truth matters, that bodies matter, and that ignoring God’s created order leads to harm. These laws are simply reflecting what Scripture has affirmed all along.”
Rena Lindevaldsen, professor of law at the Liberty University School of Law, told Decision that the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in mid-June to uphold Tennessee’s ban on transgender procedures for minors in United States v. Skrmetti, should bode well for protecting female athletic competition from male inclusion in the Idaho and West Virginia cases. She cited concurring opinions written by justices Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito—that transgender status has never been nor should ever be a protected class of people.
In a scathing letter to WCCW and WDOC, AFPI demands they revoke the policy that allowed Williams to infiltrate a women’s prison, writing: "[Washington’s Transgender Inmate Policy] recklessly and needlessly exposes female inmates to significant danger. While you have been alerted to those dangers on many occasions, this recent assault highlights your abject failure to protect the safety of female inmates."
Britain, France, and Germany moved Thursday to reimpose sweeping international sanctions on Iran, a step that European governments hope will pressure Tehran back into nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration.
The Alaska Medical Board voted to protect minors in the state from gender transition procedures through advancing draft regulations deeming such interventions as “unprofessional medical conduct.” The proposed regulation would place such conduct within the same behavioral category as practicing medicine while drunk.
