Transgender activist warns women who try to stop her using their bathroom that 'it will be the last mistake you ever make' in chilling video urging LGBTQ people to buy guns​

Trans activist Tara Jay in a now-deleted TikTok clip told her 2,400 followers that she would not allow anyone to block her from using the female restrooms. Jay also urged her viewers to buy guns, saying it was a 'call to arms'. Jay responded to the controversy in one of several videos, taunting social media platforms. 'I don't care if I lose this account. Report it all you want … I'm still going to use women's restrooms and women's locker rooms,' she said.

Of course she is also fat...
...

Now wanting to be THIN is 'white supremacy': NPR guest and author of 'Fat Talk' claims people's desire to be slim stems from end of slavery, as Americans sought other ways to 'demonize black and brown bodies'​

A guest on NPR's show Fresh Air promoted the idea that the desire to be thin stems from white supremacy while discussing how parents should communicate weight with their children.

Journalist Virginia Sole-Smith appeared on the show on Tuesday to discuss her new book Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture which includes the theory that fat phobia can be traced back to the end of slavery in the US.

Her argument is that when slavery was abolished and African Americans started gaining rights, white supremacists sought to maintain old inequalities by demonizing black bodies and glamorizing thinness.

'This is really about maintaining systems of white supremacy and patriarchy,' she said on the show.

'The chronic experience of weight stigma... is similar to the research we see on chronic experiences of racism or other forms of bias,' Sole-Smith said.

Sole-Smith also cited the work of Sabrina Strings, and her recent book Fearing the Black Body. Strings argues that the modern aversion to being fat has nothing to do with health but is instead a way of using weight to perpetuate racism and classism.

'Her research talks about how, as slavery ended, Black people gained rights, obviously, white supremacy is trying to maintain the power structure,' said Sole-Smith.

'So celebrating a thin white body as the ideal body is a way to "other" and demonize Black and brown bodies, bigger bodies, anyone who doesn't fit into that norm,' she added.

Sole-Smith proposes that toxic American attitudes around weight can be combated by encouraging parents to normalize fatness.

Bar loses customers after warning patrons it will ‘not tolerate intolerance’ among guests about Bud Light​

The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Indiana alienated some of its patrons after it condemned them for criticizing Bud Light's association with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch received backlash for partnering with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. The beer maker ignited a firestorm earlier this month when it celebrated Mulvaney's "365 Days of Girlhood," by sending Mulvaney custom-made cans featuring the influencer's face. Millions of Americans have responded by boycotting brands associated with Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch. As of Monday, Bud Light’s market share for the latest week lost almost the same amount as rivals like Miller Lite and Coors Light gained, according to a report from Beer Business Daily.

However, one venue in Bloomington, Indiana has made headlines with a contradictory message calling for "open conversations" about the subject, yet demanding those who disagree to "leave" their establishment.

"We are tired of all of the hate. We are very open to debate and discussion and it’s truly a shame that we can’t have open conversations about this important political and cultural topic. Bars, in our opinion, exist as public spaces where ideas should be exchanged," The Fairfax Bar and Grill wrote in a Facebook post. "Unfortunately due to all of the bigotry and hatred that has surfaced around the Bud Light controversy any patron wanting to voice their concerns about the issue will be immediately asked to pay their bill and leave our establishment."

The post was shared alongside an image of a similar statement saying the establishment welcomes "ALL people," but warns that those who are "intolerant" should be silent about their beliefs.

"We are all aware of the controversy surrounding Bud Light. We support ALL people in this establishment no matter who you are of how you identify. We will continue to sell Anheiser [sic] Busch products because we don’t care who they make special cans for," the statement said. "If you are intolerant of other humans of any kind, we ask that you keep your opinions to yourself. Should you feel the need to discuss this matter in public you will be asked to leave. We will not tolerate intolerance here."

Teacher caught berating kids who object to LGBTQ lesson with severe threat: 'You don't have a choice'​

Parents have lodged a formal complaint with the principal of a school in the U.K. regarding a lecture during which a teacher told students they would be "dealt with severely" if they object to being instructed about LGBTQ relationships.

The complaint comes after students secretly recorded their teacher at Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy in London as he berated anyone who would speak out against the LGBTQ curriculum, according to the London-based nonprofit Christian Legal Centre.

The unidentified teacher, who suggested he identifies with the LGBTQ community, also explained to students how he is "a good human being" and that anyone who objects to the instruction is effectively violating British values by claiming they do not value him.

The school has also recently conducted LGTBQ-promoting events that included Pride flags and badges "as a means of showing allegiance to the LGBT cause," according to the Christian Legal Centre, which is assisting the parents in their complaint.

The impetus for the teacher's February lecture was a complaint from a 14-year-old Muslim student who raised concerns about being shown a video that affirmed children coming out as gay, lesbian or bisexual, according to the complaint from the unidentified Christian parents.

"Let me make this very clear: You don’t have a choice whether or not you learn about LGBT+ in this school," the teacher said in the recording, which has gone viral on social media.

"You don’t have a choice," the teacher continued. "It’s one of our values, our British values, and if you refuse to do it, that will be dealt with severely. Why would I not? Why would I care if anyone in this room wants to love somebody, whether it be a man or a woman? Why would I care if someone wants to say: ‘Do you know what? I don’t know if I’m more male or female. I’m exploring.’ Why does that matter to me? Why does that matter?"

After claiming the bullying he suffered from girls as a boy because of his mannerisms continues to haunt him as a 40-year-old man, the teacher said words can be hurtful and reiterated that students "don't have a choice whether or not you learn about LGBT+ in this school" because it's "a British value."

Once upon a time, businesses, both large and small, scrupulously avoided controversy. That was a smart, win-win strategy, because when taking any side in a controversy, you automatically alienate some customers. It's strange how some businesses have gotten dumber over the years.

Another beverage company, this time vodka retailer Smirnoff, appears to have hired a trans woman and drag queen as one of its paid partners in recent weeks.

Several recent Instagram posts from drag queen and trans woman "Maxine LaQueene" featured the official "Paid Partnership with Smirnoff" tags, denoting that the major liquor retailer has hired the biological male for promotional material.

In addition to being a promoter of drag and transgenderism, LaQueene is an outspoken LGBTQ activist who had recently been removed from the Texas state capitol building by police for disrupting a legislature vote on a trans bill.

Starbucks fires trans barista screaming at customer to 'get out' after being misgendered: 'Let go of me'​

A United Kingdom Starbucks coffee shop fired an employee after a kerfuffle over being misgendered by a customer, Fox News Digital confirmed.

In the video, the former employee of a Starbucks coffee shop in Beresford House in Southampton berated a customer, refused service, and hurled accusations that the patron was transphobic after being offended by a misgendering.

The incident took place at a Starbucks licensee location in April. Those stores are partially owned by an individual who has invested in the coffee giant's business and represent more than 50% of the Starbucks International portfolio.

"Don't ever call me transphobic. EVER!" the customer said. "[sic] called me a her… You're being transphobic, Karen. Now get out," the former employee yelled. "Don't ever call me transphobic," the customer repeated.

The customer then requested a refund, which the former employee refused and accused the patron of a crime.

"You can't have one. Now get out. You are trespassing right now."

Footage also showed the former Starbucks employee, after realizing they were being filmed, charging at the onlooker and attempting to grab the recording device.

[...]

The customer then requested a refund, which the former employee refused and accused the patron of a crime.

"You can't have one. Now get out. You are trespassing right now."

You can accuse someone of trespassing in England or Wales, however there is no such offence of trespassing in English law. Thus she was not actually accused of a crime, only of trespassing. A lot of people in England and Wales are under the misconception that it is a crime, perhaps through excessive consumption of American media (where trespassing is a crime in most, if not all, states).

Dem-linked pollsters refuse to publish their own study showing Americans OPPOSE trans procedures on kids - and discuss how voters must be 'educated' and hatch plan to 'rebrand' puberty blockers in meeting about results​

A liberal polling group is keeping quiet about the results of its survey that shows voters reject radical gender ideology, while privately hatching plans to 'educate' the public by 'rebranding puberty blockers.'

DailyMail.com gained access to an invite-only webinar of San Francisco-based Change Research, in which they unveiled new poll results that show Americans reject giving hormones and other trans drugs to children.

In the online session, lead pollster Betsy App called the results 'bad news,' saying the team would struggle to 'educate' the public about sex-reassignment for kids. She said it was time for 'rebranding puberty blockers' with a less-divisive term.

'I want to give us all a reality check,' App told the online session.

'We are facing an uphill battle when it comes to voters' fundamental beliefs about the relationship between sex and gender.'

Change Research had already declined our requests to see the poll results. They initially invited DailyMail.com to join the webinar, but then uninvited us. We attended anyway, after registering with a personal email address.

At the start of Friday's 30-minute session, the group's marketing chief Molly McInerney said they would 'not be making these results widely available' and urged attendees not to 'share these findings.'

The simple-minded war on history: As The Guardian pays £10m in slavery reparations, AN WILSON says it's all part of an absurd movement that insists Britain's rich and complex past was entirely wicked - and that writing a cheque can erase ancient wrongs​

Until quite recently, British boys and girls were taught history which made them proud. Then there was an in-between period in which they were taught, yes, to take pride in some of their history, but also to realise that history is a bloody business and our ancestors sometimes did things which we should question or even abhor.

After that, the pendulum swung completely and there grew up the fashion of being ashamed of everything in our British past.

Nelson's Column stood in the middle of Trafalgar Square as a monument to a great hero who, by defeating Napoleon's navy, checked the power of a dangerous dictator.

But now, in so far as the British are aware of Lord Nelson, they are asked to deplore him as someone who had an ambivalent attitude to the evil slave trade.

Has our grovelling, apologetic attitude gone too far? It has begun to seem that every aspect of our complex and long history, with all its twists and turns in Church and state, has to be determined today by simple-minded value judgments. Dickens's house in Broadstairs, Kent, for instance, was daubed with angry graffiti because our greatest novelist was supposedly a racist.

Churchill, a hero when they put up a statue of him in Parliament Square, is now in the dock. Young people who know little or nothing of what he did to rescue Europe from the tyranny of genocidal fascists are free to condemn him as a defender of racist imperialism.

With each condemnation of figures from our history, there comes the expectation that someone must pay for the sins of our ancestors — and this, in turn, digs us deeper into a mindset which proposes two ideas which are manifestly false.

The first is that everything in British history is inherently evil, something for which we ought to be flagellating ourselves. Second, that we can atone for these sins by making financial settlements.

The nuanced, delicate business of telling the truth about the past has been replaced by the easy display of gesture politics. When we read of some horror perpetrated by our ancestors, it is understandable that we should wish, somehow, we could put matters right.

But we have to recognise that the past is the past. The best we can do is not to forget, but to learn and move on, while acknowledging that we can never undo the evils of history.

California has it's own nutty reparations plan/proposal. Here's what one of it's advocates has to say.

California reparations plan poses new challenge for Gov. Newsom

California lawmakers on reparations panel challenge assumptions about payments to Black residents

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — As California lawmakers hail the work of a historic panel that has delved into reparations proposals for African Americans for nearly two years, a state senator on the task force is warning Black residents to not assume that large cash payments are on the way.

apnews.com

Very interesting is that California has a serious budget deficit. The whole reparations thing, the panel and it's recommendation, appears to be no more than extravagant "virtue signalling." California has a problem managing its basic finances, much less a colossal reparations expenditure.

Thing is, with the right product that kid might've done well enough in an ad campaign. No idea what that product is but we sure as hell know what the wrong one was.

I don't read gun magazines anymore - apart from the general lack of magazines period, they were always just shills for their advertisers. Thing is, over the past decade and more the entire shooting sports arena has included women and people of color and did so pretty effectively. Old school gun clubs are filled with all sorts of Neandertal types incapable of change, but they are dying out and making way for newer generations. This didn't happen overnight and took a long, slow deliberate approach. I don't follow NASCAR or any sports really, but think I see similar changes. Over time I'd expect the [ fill in the blank ] community to be included as well.

A few years ago my friend and I shot a round at a local .22 competition. Every group of 4-6 people has a range officer escorting them and it takes a little over an hour to do the course. There were two young men who said they were married and acted it. You know what bad stuff happened ? None. Zero. We talked about guns, mocked each other for missing easy shots and there was no whispering behind anyone's back. It's about the sport not you **** or lack thereof.

Bud Light failed for over-the-top jamming it down our throats incorrectly, not because the message was so bad.

Adidas is accused of 'erasing women' by using 6ft2 biological male with hairy chest and bulging crotch for its WOMEN'S swimwear line during Pride Month - one month after Nike's Dylan Mulvaney tie-up​

The sportswear giant has been accused of 'erasing women' and been the target of the latest backlash against 'woke marketing'. It comes just a month after Bud Light saw their sales drop after they teamed up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, 26, in their disastrous campaign. The swimsuit range is part of Adidas's 'Pride 2023' collection and is for sale for $70 on the website in the women's section. But it is not clear if the model is a man or transgender, despite having a hairy chest and visible bulge. The description states that they are 6ft 2in and have a chest of 34" and a waist of 27". The design was created by South African designer Rich Mnisi, with Adidas championing the suit as 'a celebration of self-expression, imagination and the unwavering belief that love unites'.
