John Walker Flynt wants to have surgery after surgery, to hide the evidence normal people can plainly see A simulacrum of a woman will never be a real woman

John Walker Flynt is a male who has decided that he’s really a woman and goes by the name of Brianna Wu. He has some fame due to ‘gamergate,’ something about which Robert Stacy McCain is far more knowledgeable than I am, and about which I confess to having no interest at all. Mr Flynt — as per our published Stylebook, The First Street Journal always refers to the ‘transgendered’ by their real names — has been legally ‘married’ to Frank Wu, a successful science fiction and fantasy artist since 2008.

On Sunday, July 5th, Mr Flynt told us about the problems faced by men males trying to pass themselves off as women, perhaps in terms he didn’t really appreciate.

A lot of trans women, myself included, have gotten a lot more serious about our looks in the last few years.

It think it’s a direct outcome of the anti-trans movement. You’re going to try to hunt us down and take away our access to civil society? Well, we’re going to camouflage ourselves in that society even better.

What the writer is admitting is that men males who really, really, really want to be women still don’t look like women. He’s telling us that fake boobs and a faux vagina and a (usually hideous) dress still only rarely make ‘transwomen’ look like real women, and that they are going to try to “camouflage”, his word, not mine, themselves even better.

The ‘transgendered’ would find their lives far simpler if they’d stop trying to make their beliefs other people’s business

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Living on a rural farm, in a small, mostly rural county, in a very politically conservative state, I only rarely see the ‘transgendered.’ I saw one such gentleman pretending to be a lady, as a customer, in the Corto Lima restaurant in downtown Lexington several years ago, and another such gentleman working as a waiter in the now-several-years-closed Applebee’s on Bypass Road in Richmond. I thought such was humorous, because neither one came anywhere close to ‘passing’ as a real woman, but I had no interactions with either of them. They were doing what they wanted to do, in a manner which had no impact on me at all. Unlike the “Party’s” most essential command, I accepted the evidence of my eyes. Continue reading

Another victory for normal people! The Supreme Court did the right thing, but the left will never see it that way.

On this last day of ‘Pride month,’ the United States Supreme Court voted that common sense and normal behavior were inshrined in our laws and Constitution. Naturally, the left are aghast. From NBC News:

Supreme Court upholds bans on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports

In the latest of a string of losses for LGBTQ rights, the high court allowed states to bar transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports.

by Lawrence Hurley | Tuesday, June 30, 2026 | 10:04 AM EDT | Updated: 10:08 AM EDT

WASHINGTON — Delivering another major blow to LGBTQ rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld state laws that ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.

#TransgenderWoman brings more than male-pattern baldness to womanhood! Fraud, felonies, self-confessed mental illness, and now 33 years in the big house

At least some ‘transgender women,’ like Representative Tim “Sarah” McBride (D-DE) can sort of ‘pass’ as women, but how did the good citizens of Hillsborough County ever decide to elect Barry “Stacie-Marie” Laughton to the New Hampshire state legislature? Mr Laughton had previously been elected to a Democratic Party Ward position, in 2012, but resigned from that after it was disclosed that he had a previous conviction for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and falsifying physical evidence.

Mr Laughton returned to politics, was elected to the state legislature, and wound up having to resign again:

On November 12, 2022, Laughton was arrested and held in jail on a single stalking charge of violating a court order, prohibiting her[1]As per our published Stylebook, while we always refer to the ‘transgendered’ by the honorifics and pronouns appropriate to their biological sex, we do not alter direct quotations from … Continue reading from posting on Facebook about a woman. She faced up to nine months in jail due to her suspended sentence for texting 911 during non-emergencies. Amid the charges, Laughton resigned from the House on December 22.

Following a 2015 arrest, Mr Laughton did something really radical, and told the truth:

James Talarico: a representative of failing ‘progressive’ Christianity, and a hypocrite to boot Former 'vegan' campaigner now chows down on barbeque to appeal to Texas voters

In a move reminiscent of Democratic congressional candidate Amy McGrath Hnderson being caught on tape, fund raising in Massachusetts for a congressional seat in the Bluegrass State, saying “I am further left, I am more progressive, than anyone in the state of Kentucky,” Texas Democratic Senate nominee was caught on tape saying, in a 2022 state House of Representatives campaign, “I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign. We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses.”

Now Mr Talarico is telling us, it ain’t true, ’cause see, I is eating spare ribs and turkey drumsticks.

Battling rumors that he is a sexual neuter or homosexual, the 36-year-old Mr Talarico announced that yes, he has a girlfriend, saying “She is my rock. She is my best friend. I don’t know if I could have gotten through the last six months of this crazy race if she hadn’t been by my side.” She’s been “by (his) side” so much that no one knows who she is or has a photo of her with him.

Oh, we’ll eventually see a name and photo of her, a version of the fake dating books now popular for some reason, but she’s just as likely to be a beard to get him past election day. Continue reading

Every bird, every reptile, and every mammal can tell the difference between males and females of their own species. Only human liberals have ‘educated’ this ability out of themselves.

What is the ‘compromise’ position between ‘transgender women are real women’ and ‘biological males not women’? The Pyrite State tried to find such a compromise position, as we reported on Friday.

CIF policies allow transgender athletes to compete alongside other cisgender girls. If the transgender athlete places high enough to advance in qualifying or to medal at a CIF event, the athlete advances or receives the medal. But so does the next athlete in line. As a result, AB shared the first-place podium alongside another athlete twice at the state track and field meet last year.

This was directly aimed at ‘transgender girl’ A B Hernandez — real name Abraham Delgado — who won championships in girls high school sports in California track and field competitions his sophomore and junior seasons. The backlash was formidable, with sensible people noting that males have natural advantages against females, differences which actually make a difference in many sports, and that Mr Delgado should never have been allowed to compete against girls.

But California states that sports are to be divided by how the competitors ‘identify,’ not biology. The state does not ban Mr Delgado from competing against girls, but also understands that he’s using his unfair advantages to push real girls lower in the standings. So they came up with the standard that allows Mr Delgado to compete, but also recognizes the place finishes among real girls had they not been competing against a boy.

The New York Post reported on Nereyda Hernandez, Mr Delgado’s mother, being appalled by this.

Trans athlete forced to share 1st place with cisgender girls at track meet

California’s two-time state champion AB Hernandez dominated her latest division track meet this past weekend, and despite protests and controversial policies, she aims to close out her high school athletics career with a third state championship title.

by Dawn Ennis | Monday, May 18, 2026

She jumped higher than any other girl and took first place in three track and field contests. But a state athletic policy enacted last year forced transgender athlete AB Hernandez to share the podium on Saturday with cisgender girls who couldn’t match her performance.

One would think that just writing the first paragraph, reporter Dawn Ennis would have recognized that there is a significant physical difference between males and females, but, as it turns out, Mr Ennis, previously known professionally as Don Ennis, is yet another male pretending to be a woman. London’s Daily Mail has screen captures of Mr Ennis before and after. He dumped his wife of 17 years.

Hernandez, a two-time state champion representing Jurupa Valley High School, won the high jump, long jump, and triple jump competitions at the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section finals in Division 3.

The 17-year-old was apparently warming up for her next event when the long jump medal ceremony took place, so Moorpark High School’s Gianna Gonzalez stood alone on the first-place podium, despite finishing more than a foot behind Hernandez, Fox News reported. Later, although she edged out Oak Park High School’s Gwynneth Mureika by two inches in the high jump, Hernandez shared the top podium spot with Mureika, adhering to the CIF pilot entry program.

Then, after jumping nearly two feet higher in the triple jump than Malia Strange of Shadow Hills, Hernandez finally stood alone in the top spot of the podium. But although Strange was absent, she still received a gold medal as a co-winner, as did Gonzalez and Mureika.

While there are no reports of protests at Saturday’s meet, the anti-inclusion group Save Girls’ Sports organized a demonstration at the track and field preliminary meet earlier this month at Yorba Linda High School. They accused Gov. Gavin Newsom of failing to protect fairness in girls’ sports.

“Girls across California will continue losing placements, safety, and opportunities that they rightfully earned,” said former Vanguard University soccer player Sophia Lorey, who is the outreach director of California Family Council, a Christian organization designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Would that be the same Southern Poverty Law Center indicted for wire fraud and caught paying people to infiltrate and push conservative groups toward radical activities? Apparently the SPLC considers any person or group who does something really radical like tell the truth as hateful.

Riley Gaines Barker put it succinctly:

If you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls’ event, you’ve already admitted you know he isn’t a girl and that his participation is unfair.

That’s the thing that bothers young Mr Delgato’s mother and Mr Ennis: they know deep down that ‘transgender girls’ are not real girls, but they cannot admit that even to themselves, because that exposes their entire motivations and claims as delusional. The ‘compromise’ California put in really pleases no one.

The New York Post reported:

During the high jump medal ceremony, Hernandez stood atop the podium alongside Oak Park High School’s Gwynneth Mureika, who was also handed a gold medal despite finishing second.

This was the only time on Saturday that Hernandez stood next to a female athlete on the podium.

But also stated:

The policy also guarantees medal placements for biological female athletes who would have otherwise finished behind a transgender competitor.

They were also told they would share the podium next to the transgender winner of an event.

However, on Saturday, Hernandez’s female rivals iced her out during the medal ceremonies, with one competitor skipping the podium altogether and others keeping their distance.

The real girls, who are all teenagers, understand what the adults will not admit, that ‘transgender girls’ are not real girls. Every bird, every reptile, and every mammal can tell the difference between males and females of their own species. Only human liberals have ‘educated’ this ability out of themselves.

Propaganda from the credentialed media will not change reality Girls can't be boys and boys can't be girls!

The First Street Journal maintains a Stylebook of its own devise. It includes:

Those who claim to be transgender will be referred to with the names, honorifics, and pronouns appropriate to the sex of their birth; the site owner does not agree with the cockamamie notion that anyone can simply ‘identify’ with a sex which is not his own, nor that any medical ‘treatment’ or surgery can change a person’s natural sex; all that it can do is physically mutilate a person.

Sadly, most credentialed media publications do not do the same, but use the Associated Press Stylebook, something I would like to have, but it isn’t free, and I’m not about to waste my money on it.

You may think that I have issued my Stylebook to reflect my political views, and you would be correct. However, screen capturing Google’s return of associated press stylebook on transgender persons, pictured to the right, you’ll see that they have done so as well. The AP Stylebook is structured entirely on the concept that girls can be boys and boys can be girls, and cautions the users against using terms which might dispute that. I am particularly amused by the part which states:

Sex Assigned at Birth: Use phrases like “assigned female at birth” or “assigned male at birth” rather than “born a girl/boy” or “biological sex”.

Such a point has the underlying assumption that sex is something actually assigned at birth, rather than a simple recognition of the biological determination of sex made at conception. I suppose that King Henry VIII could have avoided a whole lot of trouble had he ‘assigned’ Mary as a boy rather than a girl, if such things could actually be assigned.

And so we come to a fawning article in the Los Angeles Times on Abraham Delgado[1]DailyMail.com can also reveal that AB’s name at birth was Abraham Delgado, born in Riverside, California, on August 4, 2008, according to court records filed by Nereyda (Hernandez) in June … Continue reading, the 17½-year-old boy competing as a girl calling himself A B Hernandez in California high school athletics.

Mother of transgender athlete AB Hernandez determined to push through protests

  • As protests target transgender track star AB Hernandez, her mother feels better prepared for protests and national scrutiny.
  • State policies allowing transgender girls to compete against cis-gender athletes puts California at odds with federal directives.
  • Hernandez, a two-time state champion, dominated Southern Section prelims and eyes a final state title run in Clovis.

By Marisa Ingemi | Thursday, May 14, 2026 | 4 AM PDT

A flyer featuring a pink background was the top Instagram post on California state superintendent candidate Sonja Shaw’s page on Saturday morning. It read, in blue, “a male athlete” held the top spot for an upcoming high school girls’ track and field meet, listing the event start times for protesters.

It was a tactic Nereyda Hernandez previously faced when her daughter, Jurupa Valley High track and field athlete AB Hernandez, first hit the national spotlight last year.

It has been about a year since President Trump targeted AB, who is transgender. As a result, the athlete and her mother knew what to expect when the track postseason began in May. There would be cameras, protesters and vitriol directed at a high school athlete.

You can see it, right away: reporter Marisa Ingemi referred to young Mr Delgado with the feminine pronoun “her”. While our Stylebook notes that we will always refer to the “transgendered” with the names, honorifics and pronouns appropriate to their actual sex, we do not change direct quotations from others.

CIF policies allow transgender athletes to compete alongside other cisgender girls. If the transgender athlete places high enough to advance in qualifying or to medal at a CIF event, the athlete advances or receives the medal. But so does the next athlete in line. As a result, AB shared the first-place podium alongside another athlete twice at the state track and field meet last year.

Perhaps Miss Ingemi simply missed it, and it was just poor prose on her part, but in saying that “CIF policies allow transgender athletes to compete alongside other cisgender girls,” the reporter leaves the implication that there is no difference between “transgender” athletes and “cisgender girls.” That even the Pyrite State recognizes the biological differences is made obvious by the sharing on the podium with real girls.

The Daily Mail reported:

Ahead of the State Championships, DailyMail.com went through the ‘meet program’.

AB Hernandez, as a girl in the Varsity Long Jump category, had a seed mark of 19′ 3.5′ and in the triple jump category 40′ 4.75′. If she, as a biological male, competed against the boys in this year’s championship, AB would not have even qualified in this weekend’s championships.

Naturally, Miss Ingemi failed to include that in her article. Males and females have significantly different hip structures. Because babies have to be able to pass through the birth canal, the hips of females are wider in ways to allow that, while the hip structure of males are optimized for speed and strength, exactly the kind of differences which make a difference in athletic events.

Young Mr Delgado may really see himself as a girl, may really, really, really believe it. He may see himself as a real girl strongly enough that he’d never dream of competing in sports against other boys. But wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’, plannin’ and dreamin‘ each night that he’s a girl won’t make him a girl. Sorry, but it just won’t. And propaganda from the credentialed media will not change reality.

Common sense and lawfare tend to be two diametrically opposed things.

The Trump administration is investigating Smith College for admitting trans women. Could Bryn Mawr be next?

Bryn Mawr College, like Smith, accepts all individuals who identify as women. The Trump administration says that violates federal discrimination laws, but has not yet gone after Bryn Mawr.

by Susan Snyder | Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo 2026 | 4:52 PM EDT

President Donald Trump’s administration this week opened an investigation into Smith College, one of the oldest women’s colleges in the country, for admitting transgender women.

Both Bryn Mawr College and Moore College of Art & Design — women’s colleges in the Philadelphia area — also admit trans women, opening up questions about whether they could be among the next targets, though Moore already is weighing whether to go coed.

“The college remains focused on our mission and commitment to academic excellence,” Bryn Mawr said in a statement. “We continue to operate in compliance with all federal laws and regulations.”

Full disclosure: I did some concrete work at Bryn Mawr College, in 2004, though it was between semesters, with few people on campus.

Further down:

The 1,370-student Bryn Mawr on its website notes that it accepts all individuals who identify as women, including cisgender and trans women. The school also accepts “intersex people who do not identify as male, individuals assigned female at birth who have not taken medical or legal steps to identify as male, and individuals assigned female at birth who do not identify within the gender binary.”

Bryn Mawr clarified its enrollment practices regarding transgender women in 2015, noting that the school would accept transgender women and “intersex individuals who live and identify as women at the time of application.”

Does that mean Bryn Mawr would have to retain individuals who identified as women at the time of application, but who later decided that they were really men? 🙂

Personally, I do not see the legal issue, unless there are males who applied and were denied because they are male; such men might have a potential discrimination complaint.

I could see a potential privacy issue, as was the case with Brayden Fleming, the male volleyball player calling himself “Blaire” and pretending to be a woman to play on the San José State women’s volleyball team, and who could “pass” well enough that both his teammates and opposing teams did not know he is male. His road trip roommate didn’t realize that he was male. But if Smith and Bryn Mawr colleges were open, and informed other students that a particular student was actually male, giving the other students the opportunity to decide for themselves whether they wished to share a locker room or restroom with the transgender student, it’s difficult to see a legal problem.

Then again, we know how that would work out: any student who decided that no, she did not want to share a bathroom or locker room with a male student would herself be accused of transphobia, and disciplined, possibly to the extent of expulsion. Any student who protested the inclusion of men males in women’s only spaces would face all sorts of problems in Bryn Mawr, because the far-left leadership have decided, against all rationality and all science that boys really can be girls, and that it’s hateful to dispute that cockamamie notion.

So, the colleges have created their own problems, but had they decided that only real women could be admitted, they’d have faced problems under the previous Administration. Common sense and lawfare tend to be two diametrically opposed things.

A victory for common sense It shouldn't have taken so long

For our good friends on the left, it is an unwritten rule: not only must they be ‘progressive,’ and ‘woke,’ but they must take the furthest left position possible on any issues in any way related to sex, or they will be enabling MAGA and the evil reich-wing conservatives. Thus, beyond all science and reason, they have forced themselves to take the cockamamie position that girls can be boys and boys can be girls.

Vermont is one of our most liberal states, having elected the avowed socialist Bernie Sanders to Congress for decades, but, sha-zamm! it seems that the Constitution applies to them as well:

Vermont pays $566K in damages, legal fees to Christian school it banned from all sports competitions for years

A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized Tuesday after the school was barred from athletics and academic competitions for two years

By Jackson Thompson, Fox News | Tuesday, April 28, 2026 | 7:43 PM EDT

State education agencies in Vermont have paid over $566,000 in damages and legal fees to a Christian school that was banned from all sports and academic competitions for two years after its girls’ basketball team refused to compete against a trans athlete in 2023.

Let me be more explicit than the Fox News story was: the girls’ basketball team refused to compete against a team with a boy claiming he was a girl on it.

A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized on Tuesday that awarded the plaintiffs, including the Mid Vermont Christian School and its law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the $566,000.

When the school took the issue to the courts, the state and its agencies didn’t fold.

ADF Senior Counsel Dave Cortman told Fox News Digital that he was shocked at how firmly the education authorities in Vermont wouldn’t back down from their sweeping sanction on the small Christian school.

“It’s been surprising how much the state has dug in their heels,” he said. “The arguments they’ve made… even saying your beliefs are wrong…

“Their message was, ‘in order for you to follow your religious beliefs, boys are boys, girls are girls, that would actually violate their nondiscrimination policies.’ So the irony of it was, they were discriminating against religious schools.”

We have noted, dozens of times, the cases of Will Thomas, the male University of Pennsylvania swimmer who decided he is really a girl and competed on the Penn women’s swim team, and Brayden Fleming, the man male pretending to be a woman playing on the San José State University’s women’s volleyball team. It’s simple: males and females are biologically different, in ways that make a difference when it comes to athletics, but our good friends on the left can’t bring themselves to admit that and still hold on to their beliefs that people can just change their ‘gender’ based on their feelings.

I suppose that the decisions of the public schools isn’t surprising given that 199 public schools in Vermont allow staff to hide student trans status from parents, though I will admit that I cannot see how a student, especially a boy trying to become a girl, could conceal such from his parents, unless they are blind, deaf, and dumb.

Well, the leftist leaders of Vermont’s public education system might not be blind or deaf, but they certainly are dumb.
