Jill Biden Presents “International Women Of Courage Award” To A Dude
Posted on: 2023-03-08 16:58:21   By: Anonymous
 
Transgender activist from Argentina steals spotlight from real women

First Lady Jill Biden on Wednesday slapped women across the globe in the face by honoring a biological male with an “International Women Of Courage Award.”

Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken hosted the 17th annual International Women of Courage Award Ceremony, which took place at the White House for the first time.

Alba Rueda, a transgender activist from Argentina, was among the eleven people awarded at the event.

The announcer at the ceremony even introduced Rueda as “a transgender woman who was kicked out of classrooms, barred from taking exams, refused job opportunities, subjected to violence and rejected from her family.”

Twitter users responded with harsh criticism of the White House’s decision to honor a biological male on a day meant to recognize the women of the world.

One person called the stunt “insulting to women everywhere” and labeled Jill Biden the “worst First Lady ever.”

Another Twitter user said the Bidens are “making a mockery out of women.”

In a move intended to celebrate females, one Twitter user noted, “the Biden administration is ERASING WOMEN.”

Jill Biden gave the "International Women Of Courage Award" to a biological male on #InternationalWomensDay at the White House.

It’s 2023, and the Biden administration is ERASING WOMEN one indignity at a time:

The pathetic attempt at virtue signaling by the White House came on the heels of Jill Biden’s recent primetime special on CNN, which performed poorly as the network’s usual average viewership for that time slot dropped by nearly half.

Jill is giving Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a run for their money when it comes to the most useless person to ever reside in the White House.

    Our Racist First Elder Abuser, I mean first...what did her son call her? Oh yes, a self serving KUNT who thinks the best thing about the Mexican people is the breakfast taco. That's how she sees the Mexican Americans, and we know what Joe thinks of black Americans.
    Remember the story of Biden's hand full of classified documents found on November 3rd but they didn't tell the public because of the big deal they made about Trump and the midterm elections were one week away?
    A HANDFUL of classified documents THEY SAID. A HANDFUL. Well it turns out it was NOT A HANDFUL, it was a total of NINE BOXES OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS!!! NINE BOXES. Remember the documents they took a picture of at Trump's, trying to make it look like dozens? Just think how Joe's NINE BOXES would look all spread out. What Trump had would fit in one box about 10 times, at least. So Biden had at least 90 times, NINETY TIMES MORE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS IN AN UNSECURE PLACE THEN TRUMPS SECRET SERVICE GUARDED HOME.
    Do you get the idea that the DOJ and FBI are Biden and the Democrats personal Goons, their Hitler's Gustapo? I Do. Just look at the Jan 6 the tapes Fox is showing. Look at the FBI stopping Big Tech in suppressing the Hunter Biden Laptop that proves Biden knew of his son's overseas business and Joe is the Big Guy AND if he was, he's been laundering money. Or Joe stopping the Treasury Departments Red Flag Alerts going to Congress members about his 150 RED FLAG ALERTS ON HIS OWN FAMILY.
    NOW THAT'S CORRUPTION NEVER SEEN BY A PRESIDENT IN OUR ENTIRE HISTORY

Transgender Athlete Wins Four Female Running Competitions in a Row

After smashing women's 5000 meter record last year.

A transgender athlete who now identifies as a woman has won four different female running competitions so far this year alone after smashing a women’s 5000 meter record last year.

50-year-old Canadian Tiffany Newell ‘transitioned’ into a woman in 2017 and began competing in women’s sport in 2020 after claiming to have met World Athletics guidelines on testosterone levels.

Newell scooped first place at the 3000 meter for women aged 45-49 event at the Winter Mini Meet on January 8 and then also ranked first in the women’s 5000 meter for women aged 45-49 event just days later.

On February 5, Newell repeated the achievement by winning the the 1500 meter for women aged 45-49 competition.

After he turned 50, the athlete then won first place at the 1500 meter for women aged 50-54 competition held from February 23 to February 26 in Toronto.

The International Consortium on Women’s Sport, a group demanding the protection of female competitions, reacted to the news by asserting it was a blatant example of “sex discrimination.”

Last year, Newell smashed the Canadian record in the 5000 meter indoor running competition for women aged 45-49 held at Toronto’s York University, beating it by six seconds, while also winning the 800 meter women’s race at the same event.

During a previous interview, the athlete argued against the creation of a category solely for transgender competitors.

“The policy makes sense for non-binary athletes, but I don’t feel comfortable racing against men. It categorizes me in the sex I am not identified as,” Newell said. “I am a woman, and I feel most comfortable racing against women or other transgender women. I believe an open category can work if athletes can continue to race against athletes of the same gender.”

“Despite protests from trans activists, studies have consistently affirmed that trans-identified male athletes retain a significant edge over their female counterparts, even after starting hormone therapy,” reports Reduxx.

“In 2020, a study released in the British Journal of Sport Medicine noted that trans-identified males were able to complete 31% more push-ups and 15% more sit-ups in one minute on average than a female Air Force service member. They also ran 1.5 miles 21% faster.”

“But even after two years on testosterone suppression treatment, the males were still 12% faster on average than biological females.”

Earlier this month, American surfing icon Bethany Hamilton vowed to boycott the professional tour over a rule change that allows biological males who identify as women to compete against female surfers.

As we highlighted last year, swimming’s world governing body slapped a total ban on transgender athletes that have gone through any form of male puberty from taking part in women’s competitions.

A poll conducted last summer found that only 28 per cent of Americans support transgender athletes being allowed to compete in female sports tournaments.

Transgender Murderer Who Identifies as a Baby Fears For Life if Moved to Men’s Prison
Posted on: 2023-03-08 17:04:23   By: Anonymous
 
Denies "history of gender violence" despite strangling someone to death.

A prisoner who strangled a cellmate to death before later identifying as transgender and a baby now fears for his life if authorities decide to send him to a men’s prison.

Daniel Eastwood strangled his cellmate Paul Algie to death with his shoelaces at Dumfries Young Offenders Institution in 2004 and received a life sentence.

After declaring himself transgender and changing his name to Sophie in 2017, Eastwood was moved to Cornton Vale women’s and young offenders’ prison in Sterling.

This is the same prison to which Isla Bryson was sent before a scandal forced the Scottish government to do a u-turn. Bryson was convicted of raping two women, incidents that occurred when he still identified as his biological gender.

More recently, Eastwood began identifying as a baby and prison guards catered to his demands, which included being given adult sized nappies to wear, baby food to eat and for guards to hold his hand while outside the cell.

After the scandal surrounding Bryson, original name Adam Graham, authorities are now under pressure to send Eastwood to a male prison.

However, Eastwood claims that this is putting his life in jeopardy.

“I was threatened by other prisoners in the male estate when I started to transition and the main threat was that I would suffer serious sexual violence,” Eastwood claimed.

“It was a relief to be moved to the female estate where I have felt safe and I’ve gained the trust of fellow prisoners.”

“The recent outcry has led to the SPS having to review every transgender person in custody,” Eastwood said. “I believe I’m in the right place and don’t think I could survive in the male estate.”

Eastwood asserts, despite murdering someone, that he has “no history of gender violence” and that it would be “impossible for me to feel safe in a male prison.”

Transgender convicts at Cornton Vale are housed alongside pregnant, vulnerable and mentally-ill women and must take communal showers with them.

After pushing for a Gender Recognition Bill that would have allowed men to identify as women even if they had been convicted of attacking women, Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Nicola Sturgeon resigned earlier this month, saying she had been in the job long enough.

However, in an interview with the Telegraph, the frontrunner to replace her, Kate Forbes, insisted that transgender rapists born as men were still men.

“No rapist can be a woman,” the 32-year-old said. “Isla Bryson is a man.”

    I was up in Murphy’s today minding my own business at the store when this white bearded man asked me where the sandbagging was taking place. I kinda casually told him I didn’t know. Then in conversation he said he was a retired College professor from Berkeley. I believe the old pervert misunderstood sand bags for tea bagging. I walk away then clenched my a$$,and realize how embarrassing 2023 and way of reimagined America has become. Thanks Liberal Democrats.

      Diverse, inclusive, woke, SJW, cancel culture progressive liberal Democrats, along with Biden and Harris have all but completely destroyed our country. Now, we're finding out how Fauci covered up the Wuhan virus source to cover his a**, and profit millions on a fake vaccine ! Remember all this when you go to the polls. Oh, and now see how Newsom will decide what retail pharmacies can operate in CA. Jan 6th was just a dress rehearsal for what's in our nation's future. Time for a change

          DEI In schools = Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. In real life = Divide social/racial groups, Efface own authentic identity, Incriminate perceived oppressors in order to promote whatever feels good to adults, even if it drives kids to anxiety, depression, suicide. Check your school boards. Ask questions. Don't buy the lie.
