Seattle High School Teacher Who Believes Men Can Have Babies and Mocked a Student for Identifying as Straight is Finally Suspended for Saying the October 7 Hamas Attack was Justified

Putting aside everything else obviously wrong with this loser progressive teacher –

If you’re someone who says or who believes that the Oct. 7 attack on Israel was justified, you’re ultimately arguing that Muslims have the right to sexually assault women (yes, women were raped by Muslims in that attack) and that adults have the right to murder infants, in which case, you are a sack of trash.

Under this far left rubric (of “oppressor vs oppressed”), anything justifies any action, no matter how vile and evil. It’s a warped and sick world view – and this guy is one of those.

This news item is further demonstration that we’re now living in a world where heterosexuals are being shamed in public schools for being heterosexual, and LGBT are twerking in front of children in libraries, on public streets in parades, and so forth – homosexuality is being shoved down children’s throats everywhere they go. It’s being injected into their cartoon shows.

We’re even way past the ‘should Christians be forced to bake cakes for homosexual weddings’ point – that debate is rather quaint in hindsight (and no, Christians should not be forced by law or guilt trips by other Christians to bake a homosexual wedding cake if it violates their conscience).

Seattle high school teacher who believes men can have babies and mocked a student for identifying as straight is finally suspended for saying the October 7 Hamas attack was justified

A Seattle high school teacher has been placed on leave after footage emerged of him agreeing that the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel was justified.

Ian Golash, the social studies department chair at Chief Sealth International High School, was placed on leave last week according to the district.

The move to have him suspended came after conservative advocacy group ‘Accuracy in Media’ exposed his social media posts outside of the school.

In a video clip released this month, Adam Guillette, the president of the group, asked Golash whether what happened to Israel in October was justified.

After considering his answer for a few seconds, the teacher responds, ‘Yes’, and later adds that: ‘I think resistance against Israel is justified.’

Guillette then asks him whether the rape of women at the Re’im festival that was attacked by Hamas was justified. He responds: ‘Where is the evidence that there was rape?’

Guillette then asks ‘The murder of innocent women just attending a music festival, that was justified in your opinion.’

‘No’, Golash responds, ‘I think resistance against Israel is justified, yes.’

During an interview with KOMO News, Golash’s father Mike Golash confirmed that his son had been placed on paid leave for the remainder of the semester.  …

He wrote: ‘I think any atrocities that happened on October 7th including rape, mutilations or killings of civilians committed by Hamas fighters or Gazans or Israeli citizens or Israeli Defense Forces are deplorable and worthy of condemnation.’

Social media posts shared by Golash include statements like: ‘I believe that resistance against colonialism – and yes I believe Israel is a settler colonial state – and all forms of oppression is justified. People who are being oppressed get to decide what forms of resistance works best for them, not me or anyone else — especially not the oppressors.’

In another post, Golash declares that he is a communist.

In January, Golash blasted a student who said he was  ‘straight’ and told the boy to use a less ‘offensive’ term.

A new study has shown that most gender-confused kids grow out of it.

April 8, 2024
by Jo Bartosch

Last week, researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands revealed that kids and young people tend to go through phases. In other news, water is wet.

This was the upshot of a 15-year-long study, tracking more than 2,700 children from age 11 into their mid-twenties. Every two or three years, the Dutch researchers asked them how they felt about their sex and identity.

Predictably, the results of this, which were published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal, showed that feelings of gender confusion normally pass as young people mature into adulthood.

At the start of the research, 11 per cent of the children expressed ‘gender non-contentedness’ to varying degrees. But by age 25, just four per cent said they ‘often’ or ‘sometimes’ felt discontented with their gender.

The researchers concluded: ‘The results of the current study might help adolescents to realise that it is normal to have some doubts about one’s identity and one’s gender identity during this age period and that this is also relatively common… As such, policies that prohibit gender transition for minors make a great deal of sense.’

So far, there has been no comment on this study from leading trans advocates. [Many well known trans activists, celebrities, and groups who support trans activism have not addressed this study] …

Arrest Made After Man Strips Naked in Women’s Locker Room at Planet Fitness, Claims to be Transgender

Planet Fitness policy is to allow male perverts entrance into women’s locker rooms and bathrooms so long as said male perverts claim to be women.

Planet Fitness has a past of barring biological women members who complain about male transwomen perverts (men who claim to be women) being permitted into women’s locker rooms there.

No girl or woman entering a woman’s changing room or bathroom should have to share those spaces with men or see nude male dong.

And I don’t give a flying Eff if your best friend is a “transwoman,” he should not have access to women’s spaces.
And no, I did not misgender your transwoman friend, as he is male, and his pronouns are “he” and “him.”

Various branches of science have been over-run by woke liberal lunatics in the last few years, so I never again want to see the people at Wartburg Watch blog scoffing at whatever Christians may believe in a literal, six day creation interpretation, as they tend to do – or at least, they used to do that.

British Museum Claims Some Birds, Dinosaurs May Have Been Queer In New Exhibit

March 29, 2024

A museum in the United Kingdom is facing mockery after claiming that some dinosaurs may have been queer. In its latest exhibition celebrating LGBT history, a pamphlet handed out to guests speculates on the sexuality of dinosaurs.

The LGBTQI+ History exhibit was founded in 2021 by the Hastings Queer History Collective, which consists of members of the gay and transgender community interested in Queer History and demanding representation in museum collections.

Part of the exhibit includes The Queer History Trail Map, which illuminates the trials and triumphs of eleven stories referred to as the collective’s “forebears.”

Included among the stories is one about a cast fossil of the herbivore’s footprint. Although the excerpt notes it cannot conclusively say that the dinosaur that made the fossil was a homosexual, it is a nod to LGBT history because Christopher Winter, the boy who found it, “is now grown-up, happily married to his husband Greg and living in a pink house in Hastings.”

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis subjected her employees to mandatory race training, forcing the entire office to rate “Black” or “White” skin colors as either “Good” or “Bad,” according to training slides and video exclusively obtained by Breitbart News.

“If you didn’t participate in the quiz, you got fired,” a source exclusively told Breitbart News about Willis’s policy.

Sources who shared the race training with Breitbart News wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution due to their direct knowledge of the “corrupt” and “hostile work environment” inside the District Attorney’s Office.

Sources described the race training as a directive straight from Willis, “[who] injected racism [into the office] from the second she got hired.” Willis won election in 2020 and is up for reelection this November. In 2021, she began probing former President Donald Trump.

by Jamie Joseph

A transgender inmate serving a 55-year sentence for strangling her 11-month-old stepdaughter to death filed a civil lawsuit against the prison chaplain for allegedly prohibiting her from wearing a hijab outside her immediate bed quarters, despite identifying as Muslim.

Autumn Cordellionè, also known as Jonathan C. Richardson, is currently serving out her sentence at the Branchville Correctional Facility, an Indiana Department of Correction state prison for men.

According to the lawsuit filed Nov. 30 and obtained by Fox News Digital, a prison chaplain told Cordellionè the hijab was not allowed to be worn outside her immediate bed area.

Cordellionè is seeking $150,000 in damages and the ability to wear the hijab “anywhere I go within the facility.”

“I informed him that I wear the hajib [sic] in order to cover my head and ears for modesty purposes, as I am an Islamic practicing transwoman,” Cordellionè said in the lawsuit.

The chaplain then proceeded to inform Richardson that his listed religious preference is “Wiccan,” a pagan Earth-centered religion with a male god and moon goddess, “and I responded that I am an eclectic practitioner who is a member of the Theosophical Society in America,” Cordellionè alleged in the complaint.

Men’s mental health is a serious matter — but it is wrong to expect people to be lifesavers

February 28, 2024
by Victoria Smith

[There seems to be an advertising campaign in Europe asking people to step in and help or save other people who are suicidal]

…The advert is part of the Samaritans’ #SmallTalkSavesLives campaigns, aimed at preventing male suicide. ….

…Yet I do worry, and looking at responses to the advert, I know I am not the only one. Male mental health is not something I take lightly. As the sibling of someone with paranoid schizophrenia, I think about it a great deal.
I have thought about it long enough, however, to know the dangers of simplistic narratives, ones in which there is only ever one person at risk, only ever one fear that needs to be overcome.
When I look at the Samaritans advert, I see something which I have noticed behind closed doors — the pressure on women to be saviours, alongside the belittling of any cost to them — being increasingly normalised in the public sphere.

The message that men’s mental health — and with it, men’s very lives — come before women’s safety is one with which women who live with mentally volatile men will be very familiar. These women will often be told their safety isn’t much at risk and that to think otherwise is “stigmatising”.

Or the argument might be that the risk is real, but that this only makes these women’s “caring work” and “tolerance” all the more important.

Either way, they may find themselves up against something so big, so potentially tragic, that they must suppress their own fears and deny their own self-interest. I think many people do not even know this is happening. To describe it at all is, of course, highly sensitive. What I will say is that these situations are far more complex than people watching from afar, polishing their mental health “anti-stigma” credentials, ever realise.

In recent years, the belief that how male people feel is more important than whether women are safe has become embedded in mental health and social justice activism. Worried about the male person in your toilet or changing room?
Actually, it’s on you to “protect them from harm”. Don’t want to share a prison cell with a male person? Then you’re selfishly ignoring their “mental health crises” and how “isolated and distressed” they might feel.

Disturbed at the number of incels wanting to rape and kill you? Then you’re guilty of “demonisation” at a time when incel mental health is “through the floor”. Wary of the man on the edge of the platform? Well, just as long as you know that if he kills himself, it might be your fault.

I do not think any of these messages are acceptable. They are, at best, dismissive of all the attention women already pay to male emotional lives and well-being, and, at worst, a form of blackmail. Women are not support humans. It cannot be the case that our own needs and safety can always be trumped by male threats of self-harm.

A Canadian youth mental health center is under fire after advertising an event for a “Queer Art Party” for kids. Foundry Ridge Meadows, which is located in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, deleted the advertisement and implied it was an “accident.” 

The drop-in party was scheduled to take place on February 15, from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, open to ages 12-24. The event banner depicts a hand holding paintbrushes, colorful paint splatters, and an individual with mastectomy scars spreading their legs to reveal a rainbow in place of genitalia.

It is unclear if the depiction was supposed to represent a child or an adult.

DEI is a cornerstone for the woke mob. We’ve seen time and time again how it fosters mediocrity (and often underperformance) in nearly every facet of society — the corporate world, academia, and now, as Ben Shapiro pointed out, health care.

In a Twitter thread that’s since gone viral, Shapiro shed light on several disturbing facts about the reality of DEI in the health care industry.

[Screen shots on their page of the Shapiro comments on X]

[comments by Ben Shapiro]:

1/ DEI in medicine means that even if doctors injure patients, they might still be protected (even promoted). It means that top hospitals are abandoning key metrics when hiring surgeons. And it means research by whites may be disregarded. Here’s what I’ve found…

2/ Sources tell me Wake Forest Medical School is about to graduate Kychelle Del Rosario – the med student who injured a conservative patient and bragged about it. Wake Forest allowed Rosario to lay low and take a voluntary leave of absence when this scandal broke

[Shapiro here quoted the tweet by Del Rosario, where she bragged about hurting a conservative patient. I blogged about that incident here]

3/ I’m also told that UPenn Health has hired Ewen Liu, Del Rosario’s classmate who said it “seemed karma-tic” when she injured the patient who mocked her pronoun pin. Wake Forest showered Liu with awards for excellence in patient care, and she now focuses on “LGBTQ+ Health.” [Shapiro here quoted or provided a screen cap of that comment by Ewen Liu]

Illinois Democrats Proposes Bill to Redefine Parental Abuse as Refusal to Go Along with Child Sex Changes

The Republicans have their faults, but trying to pass laws in favor of sexual perversion or stripping rights away from parents is generally not one of them. You can always count on the Democrats to not only be Communists, but to also be Ghouls, Incompetent, and to promote sexual deviancy in the name of “protecting children” or  “tolerance.”

I have seen several news stories the past few years of Democrats in various states proposing bills to have parents fined or jailed for not supporting their child’s “gender identity,” or for “misgendering” them. I just do not have the time or patience to update this blog to cover all of them.

Illinois Dem proposes bill to redefine parental abuse as refusal to go along with child sex changes

Healthcare providers would not face any form of disciplinary action if they were to perform sex change services sought out by minors without parental consent.

by Katie Daviscourt
February 12, 2024

Illinois Democrats have proposed an amendment to a parental abuse bill that would classify refusing to allow a child to undergo sex change surgeries as abuse.

It would make it a crime punishable by prison for a parent who prohibits their child from surgically change sexes.

House Bill 4876, introduced by Democrat Rep. Anne Stava-Murray, acts as an amendment to the state’s Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The bill would classify parents who deny medical care such as primary care services, abortion services, or gender-affirming services as committing child abuse.

It also amends the state’s Consent by Minors to Health Care Services Act.

Trans-Identifying Firefighter Suing Philadelphia Over Facial Feminization Surgery Coverage

The firefighter claims the surgery is “medically necessary.”

Feb 13, 2024

A trans-identifying firefighter is suing the city of Philadelphia for allegedly refusing insurance coverage for his facial feminization surgery.

The firefighter, a 55-year-old man who has been with the Philadelphia fire department for 28 years, claims that the city, as well as his union, Firefighters & Paramedics Local 22, and Independence Blue Cross insurance all discriminated against him on the basis of his gender identity.

 He filed his lawsuit anonymously as Jane Doe in federal court on January 31.

The veteran firefighter, who holds the supervisory position of fire battalion chief, claims the facial feminization surgery he wants is “medically necessary and not cosmetic” because of his gender dysphoria “disability.”

The lawsuit argues that denying him coverage of the procedure, which includes a laundry list of procedures including a rhinoplasty, a forehead reduction, and a hair transplant, is causing the firefighter harm and amounts to “illegal sex stereotyping.”

“Ms. Doe was forced to maintain natal sex characteristics with which she no longer identified by virtue of the Defendants’ callous and discriminatory acts committed against her,” the complaint states, adding that, “Ms. Doe has spent years of her life presenting herself in a manner that is not her authentic self.”

The suit also claims the firefighter, who began identifying as transgender at some point during his firefighting career, now “cannot function in society or work” without the facial feminization procedures and is “constantly misgendered.”

Researchers Argue ‘Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria’ Does Exist, Despite Narrative Against It

Researchers argue ‘rapid onset gender dysphoria’ does exist, despite narrative against it

Some cite rapid onset gender dysphoria as a more plausible cause for the increase in identification as transgender

By Kendall Tietz
Published February 17, 2024

Many transgender activists argue gender dysphoria is innate, even biological, as justification for the medical transition of children, but the sharp rise in adolescent girls identifying as transgender has garnered the interest of researchers who argue they could be experiencing “rapid onset gender dysphoria.”

Manhattan Institute fellow, Leor Sapir, along with researchers Lisa Littman and Michael Biggs, published a letter to the editor in the academic journal, Archives of Sexual Behavior, last year criticizing research conducted by University of California adolescent psychiatrist Jack Turban.

Turban published a study in March 2023 based on the data from a 2015 survey called the U.S. Transgender Survey, in which he claims to find evidence against “rapid-onset gender dysphoria” (ROGD), or the idea that adolescents with no history before puberty of gender distress experience gender confusion.

Turban and his team argued that what appears to parents to be a sudden onset of gender dysphoria or trans identity is really just a late disclosure of a previously formed trans identity and internalized gender issues, which in turn, they believe, disproves the existence of ROGD.

“The main argument made against ROGD is that when parents say, ‘My kid just suddenly came out as trans at age 14, it was out of the blue… activists claim, ‘No, no, the kid always knew she was trans, but she just kept it a secret from her parents for many years and just disclosed it when she was 14,'” Sapir told Fox News Digital.

“This ties into the other claims about transgender identity being innate, possibly even biological… which in turn justifies the whole medical approach to treating gender-related distress in kids,” he added.

Sapir and his fellow researchers looked at the data Turban analyzed to come up with their hypothesis and believe the study can be refuted, alleging the data actually shows that what he claims – that transgender identity is innate and possibly even biological – is not in fact true.

Physician and researcher, Lisa Littman, who partnered with Sapir on the letter to the editor addressing Turban’s work, issued three hypotheses about ROGD in 2018.

First, she argued that adolescents and young adults with no childhood history of gender issues developing gender dysphoria or a trans identity was a relatively new phenomenon.

Second, she said many trans-identifying teenagers or young adults had gender issues arise in the context of conditions like autism or ongoing mental health issues and use their trans identity as a coping mechanism to make sense of their psychological distress.

Third, she argued that gender dysphoria is oftentimes a result of peer pressure or social contagion.
