‘Trans Women’ are the Latest Chapter in ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’
If genitals don’t define gender, how does removing them affirm it?

While America’s nutty left feigns undying love of “trans women” – their cause du jour – real life trans issues are taking place in women’s sports, and now in the U.S. Capitol.
Wednesday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), banned transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the Capitol, in support of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) protesting transgender Rep.-Elect Sarah McBride’s (D-Delaware), use of the women’s restrooms.
Nancy Mace first proposed a ban of McBride and other trans women from women’s bathrooms in the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, announcing legislation to ban “trans women” from women’s restrooms in every piece of federal property in the country.
This led to House Speaker Mike Johnson issuing a statement implementing the bathroom rule: “All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex.”
Sounds reasonable. And if your biological sex has a penis, the men’s restroom is for you.
The Sacramento Bee said, “House trans bathroom ban draws furor,” rather than supporting the women who feel unsafe with a biological man sharing a bathroom.
Nancy Mace is a badass and the first woman to graduate from the Citadel Military College of South Carolina. She is also a rape and domestic abuse survivor. Mace says women’s bathrooms are a safe space for women, “and that trans women don’t count for those purposes,” the Bee added, fanning the flames.
This led to trans activists weighing in:
Trans women are women—full stop. We’re every bit as ‘biologically female’ as cis women & @SpeakerJohnson‘s statement doesn’t change the fact that women’s spaces include trans women,” Montana State Representative Zooey Zephyr tweeted back at Mace.
In another Tweet, Zephyr says, “Trans women are women in every aspect of our lives, whether in the classroom, the workplace, or the playing field. And like all women, we deserve the chance to experience the life lessons that sports can offer.”
That is madness. Why not just wear a dog costume to work and claim to be a dog?
Rep. Zephyr also calls Tulsi Gabbard a “Russian asset:”
“Nominating Russian-asset Tulsi Gabbard as head of National Intelligence is establishes a direct pipeline of state secrets to Putin.”
Scientifically, “Transgendered” are gender identity confused people who claim that they really are or wish to be people of the biological sex opposite to which they were born, or to which their chromosomal configuration attests psychiatry expert Dr. Joseph Berger explained in 2013.
Cosmetic surgery and a dress will not change the chromosomes of a human being. “Surgery will not turn a man into a real woman, capable of menstruating, ovulating, and having children, nor will it make a woman into a man, capable of generating sperm that can unite with an egg or ovum from a woman and fertilize that egg to produce a human child.”
Naturally, Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) weighed in on Speaker Johnson’s transgression:
Our new government’s crusade to dehumanize & obliterate trans people begins. California will never be party to this. We will continue to have trans people’s backs. Trans people are our neighbors & full members of our community.
Sen. Wiener, never one to pass up on hyperbole, claims Speaker Johnson’s order stating that Capitol restrooms are to be used in accordance with one’s biological gender will “dehumanize & obliterate trans people.”
Libs of Tik Tok weighed in as well:
You can change your name, wear women’s clothing, inject hormones, and get surgery, but nothing will change the fact that you’re male. You do not belong in women’s private spaces.
To which Zooey Zephyr replied:
Your obsession with trans people exists in such stark contrast to the support I see in cities & towns across the country, and as I move through my daily public life. The only ones obsessing over my womanhood are feral, far-right politicians & your little online troll brigade.
Zooey’s Twitter page is rife with hyperbole similar to Sen. Wiener’s, including this:
Every attack on trans people is an effort to both: – manufacture rage for distraction/fundraising purposes – drive trans people out of public life And the logistics of the policies always boil down to Republicans making cis women less safe while blaming trans people.
This is just one example of the delusion Americans are told we must buy into, or we are the problem. This also demonstrates the narcissism of the trans activist – everything revolves around them.
Zooey Zephyr said it aloud – “we deserve” as if gender choice is an entitlement:
“Trans women are women in every aspect of our lives, whether in the classroom, the workplace, or the playing field. And like all women, we deserve the chance to experience the life lessons that sports can offer.”
The left has embraced the trans phase in order to use them for power and control – the primary reason leftists run for office. If the left sincerely cared about the gender confused “transgendered,” they would help facilitate mental health treatment, and not encourage the lie obvious to everyone else that they are really the opposite gender.
By encouraging transgendered, the left is discriminating against the sane. This is where “trans women” and women’s sports intersect. We are told that men who identify as a woman are just the same as the other women on a women’s sports team, and in fact deserve to play on that team. Allowing a boy, fueled by a testosterone, to compete with women in sports discriminates against biological women, and puts women in harms way.
If genitals don’t define gender, how does removing them or adding them affirm it?
*******
In 2023, California Gov Gavin Newsom and Democrats passed a flurry of bills meant to enshrine in state law pro-transgender issues.
Here is the rundown of the bills – most of which are indefensible as these are not about helping children, but permanently harming them:
- AB 5 by Assemblyman Rick Chavez Zbur (D-Los Angeles) – “The Safe and Supportive Schools Act”: Beware anytime a politician labels legislation “safe and supportive” – it’s usually the exact opposite: AB 5 would require LGBTQ+ training for teachers in all of California’s public schools – not just sensitivity training, but training to to be used to target parents who aren’t properly affirming the chosen gender of their child. It is sponsored by The California Federation of Teachers.
- AB 223 by Assemblyman Christopher Ward (D-San Diego) – “Change of gender and sex identifier.” Don’t be fooled by that nebbish description of the bill. “Until recently, no country in all of human history has let people legally change their sex. If anyone can become a woman, a man, or another made-up gender as a matter of law, then sex and gender as meaningful categories disappear,” the California Family Council explained. “Please stop and consider the unintended consequences of telling every kid their biology has nothing to do with their gender, then letting them falsify governments regaryding their sex and hiding that as though it never happened.”
- AB 760 by Assemblywoman Lori Wilson (D-Fairfield) – “Public postsecondary education: affirmed name and gender identification.” AB 760 requires UC and CSU to implement a process by which students, staff, and faculty can declare an affirmed name, gender, or both name and gender identification to be used in records where legal names are not required by law. Why?
- AB 783 by Assemblyman Philip Ting (D-San Francisco) – “Business licenses: single-user restrooms.” AB 783 Requires cities, counties, and cities and counties to notify applicants for a business license or permit in writing of the requirement that single-user toilet facilities must be identified as all-gender toilet facilities. Until the social justice warriors of he 1970’s demanded men’s and women’s designated restrooms, we had “all-gender” restrooms. Go figure.
- SB 372 by Senator Caroline Menjivar (D-San Fernando Valley/Burbank) – “Department of Consumer Affairs: licensee and registrant records: name and gender changes.” The bill’s author says, “Deadnaming occurs when someone intentionally or unintentionally refers to a trans or non-binary person by the name they previously used.” This bill requires a licensing entity within the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) to update licensee records if it receives government-issued documentation demonstrating that the individual’s legal name or gender has changed. The Physician Assistant’s Board opposed the bill because it is “concerned with the ease of access to the discipline records associated with the licensee if the Board is required to remove a former name from its online license verification system. This would interfere with the Board’s mandate of public protection.”
- SB 407 by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) – Foster care: resource families: SB 407 a bill by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would ensure that unless all potential foster parents are willing to “affirm” LGBTQ gender and sexuality in foster youth, and any gender transitioning, they will be prohibited by the state from being foster parents. Sen. Wiener introduced his bill during the Senate Human Services Committee in April saying, “We want to make sure we aren’t placing these children in homes where there is hostility towards them.” The “hostile” homes the Senator refers to are religious families. Sen. Wiener said foster youth who identify as LGBTQ need protection from physical and psychological abuse coming from non-affirming foster parents.
- SB 760 by Senator Josh Newman (D-Fullerton) – “School facilities: all-gender restrooms.” Another “all-gender” bathroom bill… This bill requires local educational agencies, County Office of Education, and charter schools, maintaining any combination of classes from kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, to provide at least one all-gender restroom for pupil use at each of its schoolsites [sic].
- SB 857 by Senator John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) – “Advisory task force: LGBTQ+ pupil needs.” This bill requires the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, on or before July 1, 2024, to convene an advisory task force to identify the statewide needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and plus (LGBTQ+) pupils. Prepare for a new state agency… From the bill analysis: Equality California (sponsor) claims, “While states across the country are attacking LGBTQ+ students, particularly transgender and non-binary youth. Every student deserves to have a safe and supportive school environment where they can learn and succeed. Unfortunately, while California has passed a number of laws aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ students, many school districts lack the resources to implement these laws, face hostile local social climates that impede implementation, or lack awareness regarding existing legal requirements and the best ways to meet them. Equality California says 30% of school districts have not adopted an anti-bullying policy that explicitly prohibits bullying on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. 48% of have not adopted LGBTQ+ inclusive educational materials compliant with the FAIR Education Act. Equality California is encouraging school districts to go ‘above and beyond legal requirements’ in fostering safe and supportive school climates for their LGBTQ+ students and staff. The creation of an LGBTQ+ advisory task force will bring students, teachers, and administrators together to ensure that authentic voices from the community are actively involved in discussions about how to create a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ students, while also providing the CDE with valuable perspectives to ensure that resources are efficiently allocated to implement existing laws and better support LGBTQ+ student needs.” This is gibberish and detracts from the purpose of schools – to educate children.
All of these bills were passed along party lines, and had numerous Democrats abstaining on the votes.
- Assembly Bill 665 (signed into law) by Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles) would allow children as young as 12 years to consent to mental health treatment or counseling without parental approval, consent or involvement. In California it is already law to allow a minor who is 12 years of age to consent to mental health treatment or counseling on an outpatient basis, or to residential shelter services, “if the minor is mature enough to participate intelligently in the outpatient services or residential shelter services, or if the minor is the alleged victim of incest or child abuse.”That law, Senate Bill 543 was authored by then-Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) in 2010, and sponsored by Equality California, the National Association of Social Workers California Chapter, Mental Health America of Northern California, and the Gay Straight Alliance Network. SB 543, ostensibly to help LGBT and homeless youth, was signed into law in 2010 by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.Carrillo’s bill will remove the additional requirement that the child must present a danger of serious physical or mental harm to themselves or to others, or be the alleged victim of incest or child abuse – in order to consent to mental health treatment or counseling on an outpatient basis, or to residential shelter services.
- AB 5 (signed into law) would require LGBTQ+ training for teachers in all of California’s public schools – not just sensitivity training, but training to to be used to target parents who aren’t properly affirming the chosen gender of their child. It is sponsored by The California Federation of Teachers.
- SB 407 (signed into law) a bill by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would ensure that unless all potential foster parents are willing to “affirm” LGBTQ gender and sexuality in foster youth, and any gender transitioning, they will be prohibited by the state from being foster parents. Sen. Wiener introduced his bill during the Senate Human Services Committee in April saying, “We want to make sure we aren’t placing these children in homes where there is hostility towards them.” The “hostile” homes the Senator refers to are religious families. Sen. Wiener said foster youth who identify as LGBTQ need protection from physical and psychological abuse coming from non-affirming foster parents.
- Assemblyman Corey Jackson (D-Perris) authored Assembly Bill 1078 (signed into law) ostensibly to make it harder to “ban” school textbooks in California – but the “school textbooks” Jackson refers to are highly sexualized, and in many cases, just plain pornography. Assemblyman Jackson says “AB 1078 is a bill that intends to combat the national Christian white supremacist movement which aims to ban books, school curriculum, and even more in our schools.” Assemblyman Jackson is using the tortured “national Christian white supremacist movement” to give cover for grossly inappropriate books: The Globe reported on “Gender Queer: A Memoir” last year, a book found in school libraries across the country which has cartoon drawings of oral sex, masturbation, and describes how to use sex toys. Lawn Boy: featured on MSNBC’s Ali Velshi Banned Books Club, Lawn Boy is billed as a “coming-of-age story,” but is filled with graphic sex acts between children. The interview with Lawn Boy author is just bizarre. The author insists he uses “course language” throughout the book, and not “graphic language.”More than 35 school districts in 20 states temporarily removed “Lawn Boy” from library shelves.Since then, many states have passed legislation addressing pornographic, obscene school textbooks and library books. Trans+: Love, Sex, Romance, and Being You: Amazon describes Trans+ this way: “A groundbreaking all-inclusive, uncensored, must-have guide for teens who are living in this world, who identify as transgender, nonbinary, gender non-conforming, gender fluid, or are questioning their gender identity or how they express themselves, and for their cis-allies and advocates.” The book contains 75 QR codes, marked as “resources” which take children to unbelievably graphic obscene sex websites. CRI posted a short video on Instagram showing where the links take children. Warning: video it contains obscenity and pornographic images. Karen England says Trans+ is available in school libraries across the country.

Thank you Katy Grimes for this epic survey of transgender (and other) insanity, in California and elsewhere, including all the harmful-to-minor-age-children bills that —- against all reason and human decency — became law. You’ve said it all.
Isn’t it rich that Sen Scott Wiener would negatively but self-righteously weigh in on the common sense and truth that has been recently coming in like a tsunami elsewhere, when “dehumanizing and obliterating” (Wiener’s words) appears to us Californians to be his “business model”? But this is Scott Wiener’s often-seen indulgence in classic psychological projection, isn’t it, which actually defines his career as a state senator.
Also wanted to post one of the first shocking pieces of legislation in this arena, AB 2119, a 2018 bill-become-law that targeted vulnerable foster children, and the testimony of my favorite endocrinologist, Michael Laidlaw, before the committee at the time. Simply amazing and appalling the extent to which his blunt, impossible-to-ignore explanation was DISMISSED by then-Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson.

God willing, we are now entering into a new, common-sense era in this country.

Yes trans people are so irrelevant and unimportant that people like you just have to spend time out of your day to pass laws to purposefully restrict their rights and abilities to do things anyone else can do, including using the restroom of their choice. How would such a law even be enforced, would there be guards looking down people’s pants (Or dresses)? Would it be up to the restroom’s other users to do checks? What if Katy, the other users were to decide that you don’t look woman enough and that you needed a “gender test”?
There have been no laws banning anyone from bathrooms so don’t get your panties in a wad? House Speaker Mike Johnson issued a statement implementing the bathroom rule but there is no means to enforce it. More than likely mentally ill men like Zachary Raasch (aka Zooey Zephyr) won’t be barred from any barging into any bathroom that they want to?
Amazing that Democrats, especially California Democrats, are doubling down on this issue and that it centers around women’s bathrooms, a common place for sexual assaults, whether in schools or public places. Sports are another place where the public and specifically women athletes, like Riley Gaines and women’s volleyball players, have finally started to stand up and refuse to compete against athletes claiming to be women. Finally, in the military, where recruits join, only to claim they are women, and demand a government paid for surgery and treatment, which basically means they are not ready to fight, especially in a combat situation where necessary drugs are not available.
Here’s the common sense solution. Build separate bathrooms for trans people. Let them compete against each other. Deny military service for trans people. Fixed.
I saw a recent report that gender dysphoria occurs in less than one-tenth of one percent of children and the confusion disappears upon puberty for more that 80% of them. As for trans people, with so many serious problems facing all of us who gives a shit? I don’t. Go back to your comfortable closet.
This culture of pleasure and death is actually biblical. Look back to Babylonian or Roman governments, when entertainment was either combat to the death or genocide by beasts. A time when pleasure trumped all moral considerations and when many of the most powerful were bi-sexual. Today we see many variations of narcissistic personality disorder and demo-rats finds this segment of the population easy to manipulate and to control. Give them what they want, no matter how bizarre their desires and they will vote for you in cali-4-nia.
“Trans women are women—full stop. We’re every bit as ‘biologically female’ as cis women…”
Okay, show me a trans”woman” that has birthed a child and you’ll have a point and my support.
I can wait.
I’ve never eaten much candy, just not attracted to it, but sometimes for a diversion at the grocery store I’ll get a chocolate bar with almonds. As the checker has it in her hand to scan it I’ll say “that’s a he – him candy bar.” Some get it right away and chuckle, others might get a confused look. Then I say “it’s got nuts.”
Under the circumstanses, sincere question (aren’t they all). If Lia Thomas were to make xzerself pregnant, would xze be eligible for a state funded abortion due to incest? Asking for a friend.
What sort of man would want to have a sex change operation in order to have sex with women? The genuine figure for genuine dysphoria is far less than 1%, so my conclusion is that transgenderism is more about proselytizing for a particular branch of homosexuality
Scott Weiner is the most destructive person in State politics (and he has a lot of competition for this). But he is a deeply unserious individual despite the fact that he believes himself to be one.
Also, this statement proves how delusional these people are (or just being willfully deceptive):
“Trans women are women—full stop. We’re every bit as ‘biologically female’ as cis women & @SpeakerJohnson‘s statement doesn’t change the fact that women’s spaces include trans women,”
Oh, since when did “trans women” replace their XY chromosomes with XX and then grew a uterus?
