The Colorado Sun, Approved, Local / / , , , , , ,

At an April school board meeting near Colorado Springs, debate raged over a proposed policy to ban transgender students from playing on school sports teams that match their gender identity.

A high school student named Sadie, who spoke against the policy, asked why her district would need a blanket policy when a tiny percentage of student athletes are transgender.

A 60-year-old man who supported the policy and described himself as stronger than any woman in the building claimed a transgender girl could slam a ball into a girl’s head hard enough to put her in the hospital.

Cole: The hidden risks of gender-affirming care demand Colorado’s restraint

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, State, Top Stories / / , , , ,

Colorado has embraced gender-affirming care for minors, covering treatments like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and, in rare cases, surgeries through Medicaid and other state programs. 

While intended to address gender dysphoria, these interventions pose significant long-term dangers to children, potentially causing irreversible harm, with limited evidence of sustained mental health benefits. The rise in gender identity issues among minors may be fueled by social media influence, mental health challenges, and parental dynamics, raising concerns about premature medical decisions.

Joondeph: Trump’s new base isn’t who the media told you it was

Rasmussen Reports, Approved, National / / , , , , , , , ,

Conventional wisdom, meaning corporate media, portrays President Donald Trump’s supporters as white supremacists, xenophobes, and racists. They are extras in the movie Deliverance, with two teeth and a below room temperature IQ.

Yet Trump won reelection easily last November, gaining support from more than just the Billy Bobs in Appalachia. Where does Trump’s support stand now that he has been president for three months, allowing everyone to see his presidential agenda clearly?

Instead of examining legacy media’s commissioned polls, which aim more to shape public opinion than to reflect it, let’s refer to Rasmussen Reports, one of the most accurate polling organizations.
