Those numbers are good but the poll is of speech watchers. That already selects for people more likely to support Trump.

Ya gotta love it. Suddenly they're all for small gov and state's rights. Versus majority wishes and rule! And they don't hesitate to play the grotesque "genital inspection" card as if there's no documentation (or clocking) whatsoever.

The faggot is right though- America probably won’t survive in its current form because currently America has been a tranny safe haven full of woke bullshit, and Trump is pushing back and attempting to rectify this

Orange Jesus strikes again!
The Trump administration says Maine’s education department violated federal law by allowing transgender athletes to participate in girls’ and women’s sports.
The Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) notified Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) and state Attorney General Aaron Frey (D) in a letter dated Feb. 25 that it had issued a “notice of violation” against the state’s education department for failing to comply with Title IX, the federal civil rights law prohibiting sex discrimination at schools and education programs that receive government funding.
The notice, first reported by the Bangor Daily News on Wednesday, found that Maine’s education department had violated Title IX by denying girls in the state an equal opportunity to compete in school sports “by allowing male athletes to compete against female athletes in current and future athletic events.”
“Male athletes, by comparison, are not subject to heightened safety or competitive concerns, which only affect females. This lack of equal opportunity and fair competition constitutes a Title IX violation,” wrote acting HHS OCR Director Anthony F. Archeval.
A spokesperson for the OCR did not immediately return a request for comment.
Trump administration says Maine’s transgender athlete policies violate Title IX
A bill filed in the Texas House co-authored by a majority of the chamber is aiming to restrict the use of bathrooms by transgender people in public spaces and may potentially go further than previous iterations of similar bills to outline restrictions and penalties.
House Bill 239 would mandate that family violence shelters, prisons and bathrooms and locker rooms of state and county buildings are segregated by state definitions of sex, and create fines for those who violate the bill’s provisions. HB 239 does allow for single-person and family restrooms, and creates exemptions for children under 10 and those who may need assistance using facilities, likey the elderly.
The bill comes as some Texas lawmakers, including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, have become increasingly vocal about bathrooms being used in the state Capitol by transgender people.
HB 239 echoes 2017’s Senate Bill 6 — a focal point in the Legislature before withering support killed it in a special session — but differs from the 8-year-old counterpart on several fronts. The 2025 bill follows SB 6’s restrictions on bathrooms applying to state and county-owned facilities like the Texas Capitol, public schools or agency buildings. The bill would also extend to public universities. HB 239, however, is more detailed, crafting its own definition of biological sex, increasing proposed penalties and attempting to insulate itself from potential litigation or constitutional challenges.
Texas House majority signs on to new bill restricting the use of bathrooms in public buildings by transgender people
The Texas state legislature may soon consider whether transgender Texans can be charged with a felony for identifying as their preferred gender.
A bill proposed by Houston-area Rep. Tom Oliverson asks to amend the state penal code to create a new crime of "gender identity fraud." Under the act, a person could be charged with a felony for "identifying the person's biological sex as the opposite of the biological sex assigned to the person at birth" while dealing with either government entities or employers. The charge carries a punishment of up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Oliverson's name is regularly affixed to some of the most hateful legislation coming out of the Lone Star State. He authored the state House's version of a bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors in the state. That bill was signed into law in the summer of 2023 and took effect later that year. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has since sued several doctors for allegedly providing care to transgender youth.

Transgender women incarcerated in the US prison system have been transferred to men’s facilities under Donald Trump’s executive order, despite multiple court rulings blocking the president’s policy, according to civil rights lawyers and accounts from behind bars.
Trump’s day-one “gender ideology” order, one of several sweeping attacks on trans rights, said the attorney general “shall ensure that males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers” and that no federal funds go to gender-affirming treatment or procedures for people in custody.
The executive order was quickly challenged in court. In three lawsuits filed on behalf of trans women housed in women’s prisons, federal judges have ruled that the US Bureau of Prisons (BOP) cannot withhold their medical treatment and was barred from moving them to men’s facilities. One judge said the plaintiffs had “straightforwardly demonstrated that irreparable harm will follow”.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/06/gavin-newsom-trans-people-sports
Lawyers fighting Trump’s directive say the court rulings prevented the transfers of 17 trans women who are plaintiffs in the cases, but others not included in the litigation are now facing placements in men’s facilities.
“I’m just continuing to be punished for existing,” said Whitney, a 31-year-old trans woman who was transferred from a women’s facility to a men’s prison this week. The BOP changed her records from “female” to “male”, records show. In messages before her transfer, she said she felt like a “pawn in others’ political games”. The Guardian is not using her full name due to concerns about retaliation.
Kara Janssen, an attorney representing trans women in litigation, said she learned of another trans woman not included in the lawsuits who was recently transferred to a facility that houses men, and also had the gender marker in her records changed. Janssen also learned of a trans woman newly entering the BOP system who had gender-affirming surgeries before her incarceration, but was placed in a men’s facility.

I'll preface this by saying I stupidly didn't save/archive the related reddit post - which now seems to have disappeared from the subreddit.
I saw today on the front page of reddit a post from r/confidentlyincorrect, a subreddit that in theory vindicates people after arguments with brash know-it-alls. Yet much like most of reddit it is plagued with the very same "confidently incorrect" know-it-alls that the subreddit intends to mock.
The post itself was regarding the Trump administration's claim that the previous Biden administration had spaffed away taxpayer money on trans-related animal studies. I think the studies in question were posted in this or another tranny thread within the last week or two.
Within the last few days, another news story went viral wherein researchers created transgenic mice using isolated wooly mammoth genes - an endeavour entirely funded by a retarded billionaire to the best of my knowledge.
In a classic instance of TDS, I've seen this discussed in the least critical way possible on reddit. These studies are likely entirely neutral in nature (i. e. neither for nor against "gender affirming care") yet when reading the studies it is clear what they intend to emulate (ctrl group referred to as cis, test group referred to as trans). It is important to note that this image entirely crops out the section of the Whitehouse Communication that contains numerous citations of such studies.
The real noteworthy retardation comes from the discussion of the Trump administration's indictment of these studies. Despite these studies either outright mentioning gender affirming care in title or clearly trying to proxy it in methods, the T&H womyn of reddit have immediately flipped to saying the studies have nothing to do with being trans, that "Trump is mad about it because he doesn't know the difference between transgenic and transgender" - I think largely because transgenic mice hit the media this week as mentioned above.
These studies demonstrably exist and were demonstrably government funded. No matter what side of the fence you sit on, these studies have value. You can argue to a pooner that she shouldn't take testosterone while pregnant (as common sense would dictate) but having actual, demonstrable evidence that such a thing is harmful goes a lot farther than mere common sense does (these people are retarded).
It is entirely reasonable to be concerned about Trump kiboshing these sorts of studies, whether or not you are for or against gender affirming care (through these methods, as unethical as they seem, the truth will come out on way or another). It is another thing entirely to act like this pushback is predicated on a lexical misunderstanding.
I fucking hate liberals.

Trump zinged the trannies again in a new executive order on federal student aid.
Sec. 2. Restoring Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The Secretary of Education shall propose revisions to 34 C.F.R. 685.219, Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury as appropriate, that ensure the definition of “public service” excludes organizations that engage in activities that have a substantial illegal purpose, including:
(a) aiding or abetting violations of 8 U.S.C. 1325 or other Federal immigration laws;
(b) supporting terrorism, including by facilitating funding to, or the operations of, cartels designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations consistent with 8 U.S.C. 1189, or by engaging in violence for the purpose of obstructing or influencing Federal Government policy;
(c) child abuse, including the chemical and surgical castration or mutilation of children or the trafficking of children to so-called transgender sanctuary States for purposes of emancipation from their lawful parents, in violation of applicable law;
(d) engaging in a pattern of aiding and abetting illegal discrimination; or
(e) engaging in a pattern of violating State tort laws, including laws against trespassing, disorderly conduct, public nuisance, vandalism, and obstruction of highways.

Not an American so somewhat unsure how this fits into the larger picture - is there some element of student loan forgiveness that comes off the back of doing public service? So forth is it that doing public service in one of the (by this bill) forbidden areas makes no contribution to the aforementioned forgiveness?

Yes that's right: there is a program for partial if not total student loan forgiveness for people working in federally designated 'public service' work and the forgiveness can be extremely valuable given that student loans can be large and difficult to discharge. Trump's order well, ordered the government to review the list of participating employers and delist any that meet those criteria. Since the change involves a revision to the Code of Federal Regulations (regulations issued by the Executive Branch without needing to go to Congress) the change is unlikely to take effect immediately due to requirements to provide advance notice.
IANAL but this would not appear to disqualify people who do these things on their own time, only if they try to use it for loan forgiveness.
ETA: For those interested here is the regulation Trump instructed his Cabinet to revise based on the executive order.

Yes. For example, in my line of work, you can get rid of your student loan if you spend 10 consectutive years working for the public defender, the district attorney, the city attorney, the attorney general, an inidgent defense firm, or a general public interest law firm.

This is fucking awesome if it goes through, it will literally criminalize these freaks from bringing their sick fetish in public around decent people.
The penalty needs to include lifetime on a register though, if not the actual sex offenders register then a cross dressers register so that future neighbors/employers/landlords etc can know if a Troon is hanging around/wanting to move close to a school or somewhere with kids around, and parents can make sure their kids aren't risking being around a groomer.

The Mango Messiah strikes again!
Pay up trannies!
CNN — The Trump administration is taking a shot at the onslaught of emergency lawsuits being filed against it by invoking a rarely used rule that can force people who challenge the government to post money at the start of a court case, according to a White House memo.
In theory, the move could chill individuals, unions and advocacy groups from filing cases, and legal experts say it could be a sly and potentially effective tool for the Justice Department.
Several lawsuits against the Trump administration are being filed each day, often in opposition to immigration and diversity policy changes, spending freezes, the firing of government employees and the efforts of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. As of Thursday, nearly 100 lawsuits like these are active in the federal courts.
But legal experts familiar with the rule say that because it’s on the books, the Trump administration can try to use it to their advantage.
White House memo aims to chill emergency lawsuits by making plaintiffs pay
Believe it or not, the so called "Women's March" hosted a chimpout IN SUPPORT of the idea that "mentally ill men are the best women."
Yes, the ultimate PRO WOMAN ORGANIZATION is complaing about not being overrun by mentally ill men in dresses. You cannot make this shit up.
March 8 (UPI) -- People marked International Women's Day on Saturday, including in several U.S. cities where demonstrators protested against President Donald Trump and his administration. The group Women's March called on women to "Unite and Resist." "This is a protest rally against the Trump administration and the Musk administration as well as celebrating International Women's Day," the group says on its website, which directs people to local events.
""The significance of International Women's Day 2025 cannot be overstated. It is no longer a case of addressing unfinished business on the gender justice front, but one of bracing ourselves to resist active regression and a mounting assault on our rights," Amnesty International's Secretary General Agnès Callamard said in a statement on the organization's website."
"This International Women's Day, Amnesty International reiterates its call on states to recognize gender apartheid under international law as a crime against humanity. Doing so would fill a major gap in the global legal framework and help to combat institutionalized and systematic domination and oppression on the basis of gender, no matter where it occurs," Callarnard said in the statement."

What the memo says
In the memo sent to executive agency leaders on Thursday, the White House encouraged the invocation of the procedural rule in court. The memo announced, “It is the policy of the United States to demand that parties seeking injunctions against the Federal Government must cover the costs and damages incurred if the Government is ultimately found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained.” But the memo acknowledged the roles that the courts will play. Judges would need to agree to the need for up-front payment in the cases, set the amounts and enforce the payments. “Federal courts should hold litigants accountable for their misrepresentations and ill-granted injunctions,” the memo also said. Invoking the rule for up-front payment in lawsuits like this is virtually unheard of in courts across the country – especially when the government is being sued.But legal experts familiar with the rule say that because it’s on the books, the Trump administration can try to use it to their advantage.

This is not true Snaggle Tooth.
I doubt that this barely literate Gap Toothed retard can read German.
This really debunk's Tony's claims.
"Germany's draft recommendations immediately drew international attention for their marked departure from England's Cass Report recommendations. The divergence between the two is remarkable. The Cass Report recommended withdrawing puberty blockers from commissioned treatments for youth gender dysphoria, advised extreme caution regarding cross-sex hormone use, did not consider surgery as a possible option for minors, and asserted that most gender dysphoric youth should be treated psychotherapeutically. In contrast, Germany's draft recommendations relaxed the prior age and eligibility requirements for minors wishing to access body-modifying endocrine and surgical interventions, and asserted that the requirement that minors undergo psychotherapy prior to accessing body-modifying procedures is "not ethically justified for reasons of respect for the dignity and self-determination of the person."
Having analyzed the two sets of recommendations and the processes used to create them, it is apparent that their divergence can be largely explained by the difference in the assumptions about the role of evidence in the process of making the recommendations. The Cass Report started with the assumption that the best treatment approach for gender dysphoric youth is unknown and commissioned 8 systematic reviews of evidence to develop its recommendations. In contrast, the German guideline update started with the assumption that the reclassification of the ICD diagnosis of "gender incongruence" from a mental to a physical health condition (which itself reflected a "societal paradigm shift") demands that body-modifying procedures are available to all those who desire them—including minors. The intention to align treatment recommendations with the "societal paradigm shift" is stated in the guideline registration with AWMF in 2020, and is apparent in the approach that the guideline development team took toward the evidence, which appears to have served as a mere backdrop to an a priori decision to liberalize access to medical intervention for minors.
Originally, the updated German guidelines for treating gender dysphoric children and adolescents were supposed to carry the classification of "S3," which signifies the highest level, evidence-based guidelines. However, the guideline development team abandoned the systematic evidence search after 2019, stating it was no longer "feasible with the Commission's resources." The decision to stop systematically searching for the evidence during the last four years (2020–2023) resulted in a failure to systematically appraise 50% or more of the relevant evidence, depending on the topic (as the recent UK York systematic reviews commissioned by the Cass review demonstrated, more than 50% of the relevant studies were published after 2019). After the final draft was completed in early 2024, AWMF downgraded it from the originally intended highest-level "S3" evidence-based guidelines to their current lower status of S2K "consensus guidelines."
The German Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Gender Incongruence and Gender Dysphoria of Childhood and Adolescence
Tony does love garbage research.
S2K guidelines: S2K guidelines are developed by a committee of specialists in the medical field in question. The recommendations made are consensus-based. Because medical information isn’t systematically collected and assessed here either, the information that the recommendations are based on isn’t very reliable.
In brief: What are clinical practice guidelines?

This just sounds like a copy and paste of the WPATH nonsense whereby anything that doesn't support their goals was discarded.
As always, it would be interesting to know how many of these "experts" have built their careers on gender butchery and how many have no medical qualifications other than blue hair and a personality defect or three.

Tony still doesn't understand that this was intentional to control for bias. In comparison, to your point, the junk German guidelines are produced by heavily conflicted self serving activists which unsurprisingly explains why they were forced to dump an actual evidence based approach in favor of a "consensus" approach.

"Several active research grants related to studies involving LGBTQ+ issues, gender identity and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are being canceled at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) because they allegedly do not meet the "priorities" of the current administration.
Starting last week, at least 24 termination letters were sent to researchers at various universities and dozens more have likely occurred, an NIH official with knowledge of the matter, who requested anonymity, confirmed to ABC News.
According to copies of some of the termination letters, viewed by ABC News, canceled grants involved research around "transgender issues" and "gender identity," including studying stress in older LGBTQ+ adults and the epidemiology of Alzheimer's disease and other dementia in LGBTQ+ older adults.
"This award no longer effectuates agency priorities," all of the letters read. "Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific, have little identifiable return on investment, and do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans. Many such studies ignore, rather than seriously examine, biological realities. It is the policy of NIH not to prioritize these research programs."
"The premise…is incompatible with agency priorities, and no modification of the project could align the project with agency priorities," the letters continue. The letters state that typically NIH allows grant recipients to "take appropriate corrective action" before a termination decision is allowed. However, the letters declare "No corrective action is possible here."

According to copies of some of the termination letters, viewed by ABC News, canceled grants involved research around "transgender issues" and "gender identity," including studying stress in older LGBTQ+ adults and the epidemiology of Alzheimer's disease and other dementia in LGBTQ+ older adults.
"This award no longer effectuates agency priorities," all of the letters read. "Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific, have little identifiable return on investment, and do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans. Many such studies ignore, rather than seriously examine, biological realities. It is the policy of NIH not to prioritize these research programs."
"The premise…is incompatible with agency priorities, and no modification of the project could align the project with agency priorities," the letters continue. The letters state that typically NIH allows grant recipients to "take appropriate corrective action" before a termination decision is allowed. However, the letters declare "No corrective action is possible here."

For a bit they were forcing research even with nothing to do with LGBT to require LGBT components. God forbid you state there were two sexes in your demographics.

So they've been all over the media with this. Has a single one yet been asked, "When two teams from two different communities with two different outlooks on this play each other, which of the two local communities are you saying should get to set the rules of the game?"

The local communities/sporting bodies/whoever the fuck can’t be left to make their own rules on this because autistic coomers are willing to dedicate years to harassment campaigns and normal people simply…aren’t. They had the chance to sort this shit out and they didn’t. The end.
