Another organization has spoken out about the dangers of the transgender ideology being pushed by Democrats and other leftists in America.

Joe Biden was a prominent advocate of the agenda, pushing it even onto children and insisting they be given chemicals and even body-mutilating surgeries in failed attempts to turn a boy into a girl or vice versa.

It seems that to go trans is to go stupid.

Or at least stupider.

The warning comes from a group called StatsForGender.org, which confirms it uses statistics from sources "selected for their reliability."

"We mostly use peer-reviewed papers; however, we occasionally refer to government-commissioned studies, authoritative bodies' submissions to governmental commissions, published books, or doctoral theses. In a few cases, we provide references for the purpose of debunking unreliable data," the organization explains.

"As this is an emerging field of research, the information on this page may develop over time. Statistics for the transgender population are often difficult to quantify as different definitions are used to describe the term 'transgender,' Our focus is to underpin the statements we provide with sound research. We know that these statements cannot comprehensively cover every topic; however, this initiative is intended to bring some much-needed clarity to this area of study. Stats For Gender is powered by Genspect, an organization that advocates for a non-medicalized approach to gender dysphoria."

One of its cited sources confirmed that girls "treated with puberty blockers for central precocious puberty showed that IQ fell by around eight points."

"The average fell from 102 (55th percentile) to 94 (34th percentile). Two patients were held back a year at school," the organization documented.

"In another study of 30 children experiencing early puberty and treated with puberty blockers, IQ fell by around seven points."

The injury isn't limited to girls, either.

"A case study of a male patient whose puberty was blocked at age 11 showed a decline in several measurements of intelligence over the following three years, including decline of 10 points in global IQ and 15 points in verbal comprehension," the organization reported. "Verbal comprehension showed a continuous decline. Other measurements showed some improvement after an initial decline, but never recovered to baseline levels. Processing speed index scores initially improved, but then fell below baseline."

The organization reported:

Many parents of gender-questioning children are presented with statistics that make transitioning seem ideal while portraying any more cautious approach as abusive or dangerous. When children request puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, parents often find themselves diving into scientific research, trying to distinguish fact from fiction.

Teachers, journalists, politicians, and other decision-makers are frequently confronted with data that suggests there is only one viable option. However, many remain skeptical of the rapid push towards transition. They reflect on individuals they know who were gender-non-conforming in their youth and wonder what might have happened if they had grown up in today's environment, where gender expression is so heavily emphasized.

The lack of a single, user-friendly resource for reliable gender statistics has been a challenge for both parents and professionals. That's why Genspect created Stats For Gender.

We believe the public deserves access to reliable data, organized intuitively and presented in clear, jargon-free language. Our goal is to provide those questioning their gender with full access to the facts, while also helping their families, friends, and loved ones to see the bigger picture."
The organization also cited studies revealing that "animal studies suggest puberty blockers may impair brain development, sometimes irrevocably," as well as one noting that nearly one-third (31%) of women taking puberty blockers reported "mild" memory problems, 25% had "moderate" memory issues and 19% had "marked" problems.

PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump on Wednesday went to war with a New York Times reporter who published a "hit piece" Tuesday focusing on his age and suggesting the commander in chief is losing stamina.

"The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again," Trump began in a lengthy post on Truth Social.

"The Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite. They know this is wrong, as is almost every thing that they write about me, including election results, ALL PURPOSELY NEGATIVE.

"This cheap 'RAG' is truly an 'ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.' The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out.

"Despite all of this, I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment being made in America, they should only go up."

The headline of the report by Rogers and co-author Dylan Freedman reads: "Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office," with a subheadline stating: "President Trump has always used his stamina and energy as a political strength. But that image is getting harder for him to sustain."

The Times report indicated how Trump "and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics," in spite of his age.

"The reality is more complicated: Mr. Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency, and he is aging," Rogers wrote.
The Times noted Trump is "talking more about the afterlife" while spending less time in public.

The article states:

Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule and is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips.

He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average.

And when he is in public, occasionally, his battery shows signs of wear. During an Oval Office event that began around noon on Nov. 6, Mr. Trump sat behind his desk for about 20 minutes as executives standing around him talked about weight-loss drugs.

At one point, Mr. Trump's eyelids drooped until his eyes were almost closed, and he appeared to doze on and off for several seconds. At another point, he opened his eyes and looked toward a line of journalists watching him. He stood up only after a guest who was standing near him fainted and collapsed.

Trump said Wednesday: "There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST ('That was aced') JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!"

Two National Guard troops have been shot near the White House in what's being called a "targeted shooting" and ambush.

"This is a targeted shooting," Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters Wednesday afternoon.

Jeff Carroll, executive assistant chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, said: "It appears to be a lone gunman who ambushed these members of the National Guard."

The ramifications of a decision by six Democrats in Congress, already known as the "seditious six," to promote to the U.S. military the defiance of presidential orders, still remain to be seen.

One senator, Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly, could be subject to military discipline for promoting dissension within the ranks. The FBI is looking into the statements by the others.

President Donald Trump has reminded Americans of the penalties for sedition and treason, and now there are online reports that a group linked to leftist billionaire George Soros has been "fomenting sedition" for the military "around the same time a 'script" went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion."
Soros, of course, long has pursued radical leftist and globalist agendas, almost always in direct opposition to Trump's agenda for making America "Great Again."

He's now in the process of turning over his empire to his son, Alex, who perhaps is even more extreme.

For example, the Soros empire of activists recently has been accused of pushing the recent government shutdown, the Schumer Shutdown, which happened over Democrats' demands that Congress spend more than a trillion dollars on their pet projects.

Reporter Eric Daugherty said, "It's been revealed that a nonprofit linked to George Soros is fomenting sedition within the military around the same time a 'script' went out to Democrat members of Congress urging rebellion within the ranks against President Trump. There are also links to ANTIFA. On November 11th – just days before the video – the National Lawyers Guild published a page urging service members to refuse 'illegal' orders. The same talking point in the video. Win Without War has put up a billboard in NC urging chaos and dissent within the ranks, a group linked to a 501(c)(4) backed by Soros' Open Society. The group was previously named New Security Action. As per @DataRepublican, Win Without War is partnered with the National Lawyers Guild. National Lawyers Guild is a supporter of antifa. And to wrap it all together? Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said on national TV a 'script' was sent to him. He ended up not participating, but admitted it was coordinated from an external party. There it is."

In fact, Win Without War has been open in its defense of the Democrats in Congress calling for disobedient troops.

"Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan sent servicemembers a crucial reminder that they should disobey illegal orders 48 hours later, Trump accused them of sedition and called for their arrest and execution. It's an unprecedented incitement of violence against political opponents, who were targeted simply for encouraging servicemembers to uphold the law and their oath to the Constitution," the organization claimed.
Online reaction, however, was clear about which side Americans should choose.
Trump already was working on it, apparently.
A related development had GOP members of Congress issuing their own call to the troops, to "stand strong" for law and order.

While the Democrats complained of "illegal orders," without being able to identify any, Fox News, reported Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, said, "I've flown combat missions, and I know what happens when people disobey an order. This cannot happen to the men and women who are serving right now."

The report said, "Republicans argue the Democrats' video risks undermining the military's chain of command, while the Democrats insist they were simply reminding service members not to carry out 'illegal' actions."

It was Secretary of War Pete Hegseth who called on the military to investigate Kelly, as he's still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, while the FBI is on the others.

Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., a Gulf War veteran, specifically criticized Kelly's role in the video, Fox reported. He said, "What he said was egregious for multiple reasons. I thought it was very dishonest of him to say, 'We have your back.' No, they don't."

On "The Story," Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota Meyer called the Democrats' video "unacceptable."

"The question that needs to be asked to all of them is, do you just not trust our men and women in uniform anymore? Is that the issue or is it the fact that you don't like what the president's doing?" he said.

Calling the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., Wednesday a "cowardly, dastardly act," U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that President Trump requested 500 more Guard troops be called up to serve in the nation's capital.

"This will only stiffen our resolve" to continue to secure Washington, D.C., Hegseth said. "President Trump will never back down."

Several Cabinet members have released statements decrying the shooting and asking for the nation's prayers.

In recent years, we've seen drama play out on the podium at athletic competitions involving biological men competing as women.

In most cases, it's common knowledge when a man competes as a "transgender woman," and he often does well competing against real women.

But the man who won a women's powerlifting championship last weekend apparently fooled the very organization sponsoring the competition – and that group has now disqualified him after the fact.

According to a report at the Blaze, multiple competitors have spoken out about the controversy, with the runner-up, an actual woman, reportedly saying as she took the podium after the competition, "This is bulls**t."

Here is video of the incident:

The 2025 Official Strongman Games took place in Arlington, Texas, and saw lifter Jammie Booker, a biological male, defeat nine female competitors. As reported by Fitness Volt, Booker took home the narrow victory after runner-up Andrea Thompson finished seventh in the final event, edging her out by just a point.

On Tuesday, the strongman organization posted a statement to Instagram, the Blaze reported. The group says it was unaware that an athlete "who is biologically male and who now identifies as female" competed in the Women's Open category.

The organization said that had it been aware, the athlete would not have been permitted to compete in that category.

"We are clear – competitors can only compete in the category for the biological sex recorded at birth," the organization wrote.

The company said it had "disqualified the athlete in question" and that "athlete points and places will be altered accordingly" –- which means Thompson will be declared "The World's Strongest Woman."

The statement concluded: "The Official Strongman World Championships is an event which is rightly one of the pinnacles of the strength world. We are disappointed on behalf of all those who fairly and legitimately took part that the attention has been taken away from their efforts which deserve celebration, no matter how they performed or where they finished. We stand with them and stand with fairness."

Critics of Booker have pointed to a YouTube video seemingly posted in 2017, in which he described himself as a "21-year-old" transgender person with a "history of abuse, struggling to stay true to herself while under the rule of her religious parents."

The Democrat state representative in Tennessee running for U.S. Congress is not just anti-police and throwing hissy fits when thrown out of the governor's office, apparently she also believes men can give birth to children.

Newly unearthed audio reveals Aftyn Behn, who is running against Trump-endorsed Republican Matt Van Epps for the District 7 seat in Congress, thinks people who give birth, whether they be male or female, can use their "birther" status as bargaining chips to promote progressive political policies.

Behn told an interviewer: "I think we have, as birther – women who can give birth, men and women who can give birth – we can maybe leverage that as collective bargaining."

"We can really leverage collective bargaining when it comes to having children in this country. And so, for example, I'm not going to give birth until the United States government concedes A, B, C, D."

"What do you think about that?" Behn asked her interviewer, who immediately replied: "It seems a little much really."

LibsofTikTok shared the video, urging: "Don't let this radical woman anywhere near office."

Other comments online include:

"She literally called herself a 'birther.'"

"These people can't explore the new world, can't explore the stars, so in their desperation to leave a mark on humanity, they decided to explore delusion instead."

"OMG! What a nutcase. But ironically, if SHE wants to hold her own procreation strike, I would support it. I feel sorry for any child born to that."

"Nothing would thrill me more than to see all progressive women go on birth strikes and end the rot with their generation."

"How did insanity become proprietary and the status quo in America?"

"What the hell is going on in the Volunteer state that this thing got elected?"

As WorldNetDaily reported Monday, Behn is refusing to denounce her previous calls to defund the police and even burn down police stations.

On Tuesday, RNC Research released more unearthed video of Behn in which she pushed for the abolition of all police.

"Talking to our parents about what police abolition looks like … we can do it, there is a world," she said.

Other video depicts Behn sobbing and screaming at the top of her lungs as security removed her from Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's office in resurfaced footage from April 2019.

The special election in the Nashville area of Tennessee takes place Dec. 2.

"Soup is good food."

For years, this was the marketing slogan for Campbell's Soup, one of America's best-known brands.

But now, a secret recording reportedly of a top company executive is casting doubt on the catchphrase, with him being heard disparaging Campbell's products as using "bioengineered meat" and mocking its own customers.

The recording is part of a lawsuit filed by Robert Garza, a former cybersecurity analyst for Campbell Soup, who accuses Martin Bally, vice president and chief information security officer of the food giant, of making the comments during a November 2024 meeting.

"We have s*** for f***ing poor people. Who buys our s***? I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore," the voice purportedly belonging to Bally is heard saying.

"Bioengineered meat – I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer," Bally allegedly says, casting shade on the ingredients in Campbell's soup.

"F***ing Indians don't know a f***ing thing," the voice on the recording says. "They couldn't think for their f***ing selves."

Garza said he felt sick, "pure disgust," after the initial meeting, and again after hearing the comments.

The suit was filed in Michigan's Wayne County Circuit Court.

Garza kept the recording secret at first, but went to his supervisor in January 2025 to report the matter.

Zachary Runyan, Garza's attorney, told WDIV-TV in Detroit that Garza was blindsided 20 days later.

"He reached out to his supervisor and told the supervisor what Martin was saying, and then out of nowhere, my client was fired," Runyan said.

"He was really sticking up for other people. He went to his boss and said, 'Martin is saying this about Indian coworkers we have, he's saying this about people who buy our food — who keep our company open, and I don't think that should be allowed.' And the response to Robert sticking up for other people is he gets fired, which is ridiculous."

Campbell's is acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, and a company spokesperson told Newsweek: "If the recording is legitimate, the comments are unacceptable. They do not reflect our values and the culture of our company. Mr. Bally is temporarily on leave while we conduct an investigation.

"We are proud of the food we make, the people who make it and the high-quality ingredients we use. The comments on the recording are not only inaccurate – they are patently absurd.

"Keep in mind, the alleged comments are made by an IT person, who has nothing to do with how we make our food."

Another biological man has dressed up like a woman, but this time it's not for the typical reason. This incident involves a man posing as his own mother to collect her pension – all after she had died.

According to The Telegraph in the U.K., the alleged crime has been dubbed to as the "Mrs. Doubtfire" scandal, a reference to the 1993 hit film starring Robin Williams portraying an elderly housekeeper.

An unemployed 56-year-old Italian man allegedly dressed up as his dead mother, including lipstick and pearl necklace, as a means to collect her pension.

According to a report in Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper, the out-of-work nurse managed to pocket thousands of euros before the ruse was exposed.

In addition, he allegedly concealed his mother's body in his home, so long so that it became mummified. The woman, Graziella Dall'Oglio, is said to have died three years ago.

The Telegraph reports the man cut his hair in a similar style to his mother as he visited a government office to collect his mother's money. An alert employee apparently noticed his "low voice and thick neck," and the jig was up.

"He came into the council offices wearing a long skirt, he was wearing lipstick and nail varnish, a necklace and old-style earrings," Francesco Aporti, the mayor of Borgo Virgilio, told the Italian newspaper.

The man's total income, including his dead mother's pension, was €53,000, which is more than $61,000.

In a shocking case of "I'm not dead yet," a woman was found alive in a coffin just moments before she was set to be cremated.

The incident took place in Thailand as Tham, a Buddhist temple in the Nonthaburi province on the outskirts of Bangkok, posted a video on its Facebook page, "revealing a woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pickup truck, slightly moving her arms and head, leaving temple staff bewildered," according to the Associated Press.

The 65-year-old woman's brother drove her from the province of Phitsanulok to be cremated, the temple's general and financial affairs manager Pairat Soodthoop told AP.

And that's when they heard a faint knock coming from the burial box.

"I was a bit surprised, so I asked them to open the coffin, and everyone was startled," Pairat said.

"I saw her opening her eyes slightly and knocking on the side of the coffin. She must have been knocking for quite some time."

The brother indicated the woman had been bedridden for two years and became unresponsive. He believed she had stopped breathing and therefore presumed she died.

He then placed her in a coffin and made the 300-mile journey to a hospital to fulfill her wish of donating her bodily organs.

The hospital refused since there was no official death certificate.

The woman was sent to a nearby hospital, and Pairat said the temple would cover her medical expenses.

CBS News reports: "Similar instances of a person being found alive at funeral homes or morgues have been reported in the past."

In June 2024, a 74-year-old Nebraska woman declared dead at a nursing home was found breathing at a funeral home two hours later.

In January 2023, a 66-year-old woman was pronounced dead at an Iowa care facility after an employee said she "did not feel a pulse" and that the woman was not breathing. After she was taken to a funeral home, the woman woke up "gasping for air."

That same year, a New York funeral home found an 82-year-old woman alive and breathing shortly after she was declared dead at a nursing home.

In 2002, five officials in Shanghai, China, were punished, and a doctor had their license revoked after a video showed funeral parlor workers returning a body bag containing a live person to a retirement home.
