In the midst of the Holy Month of Pride

Happy Pride, everybody!

Here’s an article that I think encapsulates why trans madness is a men’s “rights” ideology. Trans-identifying males (TIMs) want to be able to go shirtless in public, even though women can’t, because TIMs are men. They demand to have it both ways — completely taking over women’s facilities while maintaining their male privilege. Read the entire article.

Fettermania! A June 11, 2025, article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that, implausibly, PA Senator John Fetterman’s popularity is soaring:

Last week, John Fetterman’s chief of staff Krysta Sinclair Juris walked out the door, becoming the latest in a string of staff departures that would sink most politicians. The hulking Pennsylvania senator’s mental health struggles have been laid bare in unflinching detail. He’s become what many political consultants would call a “loose cannon.” And yet, against all logic and beltway wisdom, his popularity with swing voters and Republicans is surging.

…

He’s a Harvard-educated trust-fund kid who convinced many working-class Pennsylvanians he’s one of them. He’s a progressive on LGBT issues [and] respected by some gun-owning conservatives. He’s a senator with serious health challenges who’s more popular than many of his healthier colleagues.

And speaking of Senator Fetterman, our meeting with fire-breathing misogynist Jason A Smith was mentioned in a major national blog, The Distance. The entire article is about the Democrats’ brainwashing into gender ideology and is well worth reading.

This crisis of credibility explains why Sen. John Fetterman’s chief of staff Jason Smith “mocked a rape survivor, said we were lying that there are men in women's prisons, and lying that lesbians need female-only spaces,” as radical feminist Julia Hing reported on X recently. Voicing his total denialism, Smith “said people talking to him about aliens made more sense. When we said women were leaving the party over this treatment, he said ‘Good. Leave. Go.’ Then he threw us out of his office.”

Here’s something that will surprise exactly no one: 2024 Olympic gold medallist in women’s boxing Imane Khelif is a biological male.

And while we’re discussing Olympic athletes, arguably the greatest female gymnast in history has forgotten what a woman is. Someone needs to sit Simone Biles down and explain to her how she benefits tremendously from the rules female athletes like Riley Gaines are defending.

While we await SCOTUS’s Skrmetti decision, read about how legacy alphabet-soup media are already claiming the case is only about religious bigotry:

Jonathan Skrmetti, the Tennessee attorney general whose name ended up on the Court docket, told the [Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty] Commission recently that his role in the case was “God’s will.” When Christians say that, they are being humble. When radicalized reporters read those words, however, they receive the phrase as if Radio Rwanda has called for ethnic cleansing.

When the GOP says and does something stupid about women, it’s usually about our reproductive rights. And indeed, here it is:

"And women, if they're natural, not on birth control, they're actually more attracted to more alpha cavemen, providers, protectors, but birth control changes that."

Uh, no, it doesn’t. If any readers are unfamiliar with this anti-contraception rhetoric, let me tell you that it’s surprisingly common amongst Republicans, especially women. (Yes, once again, patriarchy turns women against each other to be the enforcers of male supremacy.) Of course, none of GOP’s claims about oral contraception are true. For example, there is no evidence that the Pill makes women horny for effeminate men or “weaker” men. When you remove all the GOP’s bullshit, their anti-contraception crusade is their need to control women’s bodies and deny our independent moral agency.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled Pride section.

UK journalist Julie Bindel has her own Substack and The Lesbian Project podcast with Kathleen Stock in both a free and premium version. Bindel’s most recent article is A Pride of Perverts. In it she writes:

Every time throughout June when I see a rainbow zebra crossing, a rainbow train or a host of rainbow flags all the way down Regent Street, I shall feel it as an attack on lesbians (the old fashioned female sort).

…

The parades are now hunting grounds for predatory men, who can dismiss as 'homophobia' [and, I would add ‘transphobia’] any attempt to rein in their behaviour.

…

Thankfully, I'm not alone, and this year for the first time it feels as though the hoopla has become so distasteful that many former supporters, including sponsors, are distancing themselves from it.

…

My first Pride march was in 1980, when I was 18. It felt then like a campaign desperately needed for women like me. I'd just been sacked from my job, in a fit of righteous intolerance by my employer after he learned I was a lesbian. I'd also been refused accommodation and was effectively homeless, living in a YWCA hostel.

Do read Bindel’s article. She writes about British Pride, but everything she describes is true of US Pride as well.

Finally, here are inspiring words from Jo Brew, the chairwoman of WDI: “We shall fight them in the toilets.”

And so we shall.
