Bridal magazine puts bearded 'trans-feminine' activist in dress on cover, draws backlash
'The woke pandemic has reached India,' one Twitter account said
Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr said when debating SB99, "If you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments I hope the next time there’s an invocation when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands."
Brides Today, a wedding magazine for brides in India, has drawn backlash after it featured a "trans-feminine" person on its cover.
Trans poet, comedian and activist Alok Vaid-Menon, who goes by "ALOK," is shown in several cover photos wearing womens' wedding apparel from jewelry to a head covering and a dress for its digital magazine.
Brides Today shared the photos on Instagram, where they received widespread criticism from users saying the photos were disrespectful to women.

The photos also went viral with over three million views after being shared by the account "End Wokeness" on Twitter.
"The woke pandemic has reached India," the account tweeted. Several Twitter users responded in disbelief, asking if the photos were fake and posting vomiting emojis.
Some critics highlighted a since-deleted controversial Facebook post from 2016 where the activist allegedly said in response to bans on transgender women using girls' restrooms, "Little girls are also kinky. Your kids aren't as straight and narrow as you think."
In the accompanying Brides Today interview, the activist complained about being bullied, the need to affirm transgender identities, and India's ban on same-sex marriage. Vaid-Menon slammed the "continued discrimination" against the trans community.

"The reason LGBTQI+ people are hunted is because we have the audacity to embrace authenticity and autonomy in a world that prescribes conformity. People take their own insecurities and project them at us. If they were secure in themselves, they wouldn’t seek to deny and disappear us. In other words: the continued discrimination against our community is an indication of the mental health struggle of our non-LGBTQI peers. What’s needed then is the promotion of positive mental health for all. What’s needed is the creation of a culture tied together with love, not shame," Vaid-Menon said.
While the activist does not have the same name recognition as other trans activists like Dylan Mulvaney, Vaid-Menon was still the subject of friendly interviews with the New York Times in 2021 and The Washington Post last July.
Fox News Digital reached out to Brides Today and Alok Vaid-Menon for comment on the backlash, but did not hear back by the time of publication.

Top Swedish doctors blow whistle on trans puberty-suppressing drugs affecting children's bones: 'Experimental'
'My son shouldn’t be this way at his age,' a mother whose son developed osteopenia after taking puberty blockers, said
Detransitioned teen Chloe Cole: I'm afraid my generation will be led astray
Former transgender kid, Chloe Cole, shares the complications she deals with every day as a result of medical interventions she was subjected to after being diagnosed with gender dysphoria. "I'm not sure whether it'll even go away," she said.
Swedish doctors at a top medical school released a systemic review of available medical literature on providing puberty blockers to children, and said its use for treating gender dysphoria should be considered "experimental."
Doctors at the Karolinska Institute, ranked as a top 15 medical school in Europe, published an article in Acta Paediatrica on April 17, which was partly funded by an independent Swedish governmental agency tasked with assessing methods used in healthcare and making recommendations. The review analyzed thousands of studies, and focused on those without significant bias.
The doctors – among them an adviser to Sweden's medical board – concluded, "GnRHa treatment in children with gender dysphoria should be considered experimental treatment of individual cases rather than standard procedure." Puberty blockers, or gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa), is a class of drugs which suppresses sex hormones by continually stimulating the pituitary gland.
The Karolinska Institute's systemic analysis, also led to a conclusion that GnRH analogues were found to delay bone maturation and mineral deposits, which may be only be partially restored by age 22 with cross-sex hormones. But they noted research was limited on that as well.
Doctors in Sweden have increasingly raised concerns about the safety of puberty blockers.

Ricard Nergårdh, a pediatric endocrinologist and researcher affiliated with the Karolinska Institute, told Swedish TV's Mission Investigate in 2021 that physicians try not to keep children on blockers for too long in order to minimize the risks of GnRH, which is also used to facilitate medical castration for some prostate cancers.
"What we call GnRH treatment is chemical castration. And it can affect mental health in an unintended, undesirable way. So it's very important that the patient and the patient's family are informed about this," he said.
"I'm very worried about it, and I think I'm not alone in that," he said about his concerns of GnRH for children.
Mission Investigate reported that a Swedish transgender boy named "Leo," who was taking puberty blockers for over four years, developed osteopenia, a condition where an individual lacks bone density, which can progress to osteoporosis and lead to bone fractures if not treated.
And at 15 years old he cannot stand longer than 15 minutes, he lives in constant pain and has a series of issues with his spine.
"My son shouldn’t be this way at his age," his mother said. "He should not have to live with this."
The Karolinska University Hospital filled out a report on what happened to Leo, and followed up with findings that other children may have been exposed to serious medical injury.
The hospital then stopped providing blockers to children with gender dysphoria as a standard of practice.
The media attention led the Swedish government to begin commissioning inquiries to reassess its health recommendations. In 2022, its medical board released guidance to change its earlier policies from 2015 to a more restrictive practice of prescribing blockers and hormones to children.

"[I]t is not yet possible to draw any definite conclusions about the effect and safety of the treatments based on scientific evidence," the board said."[T]he risks of puberty-inhibiting and gender-affirming hormone treatment for those under 18 currently outweigh the possible benefits for the group as a whole."
The guidance change was also made due to "the new knowledge that detransition occurs among young adults and the… unexplained increase in the number of care seekers, an increase particularly large among adolescents registered as females at birth."
Despite the limited research on the subject of prescribing puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria, providers in the United States commonly refer to the drugs as "completely reversible," and stress its overall safety.
Doctors at Department of Defense military bases, for example, recently criticized the idea of "watchful waiting" on minor with gender dysphoria before referring them for hormonal treatments, calling it "conversion therapy."
"These are temporary medicines," said Boston Children's Hospital about GnRH. "[T]hey do not cause any permanent changes."
"It's like hitting the pause button," wrote St. Louis Children's Hospital. The institution went on to exemplify how GnRH is safe by stating the FDA approved it for children with precocious puberty, a physical condition in which kids, including those who can be as young as 5, begin to manifest adolescent development. This condition can be managed with GnRH in order to delay their puberty to a later, and more appropriate, timeframe.
However, what was not explicitly mentioned, is the drug is used off-label in treatment for gender dysphoria. Off-label is the practice of prescribing a drug for a different purpose than what the FDA approved.

Last year, the FDA identified six cases of children taking GnRH agonists, which presented "a plausible association" to causing increased pressure around the brain which can eventually lead the organ to swell.
Proponents of blockers further argue that stopping the natural biological process can lead to better outcomes for transgender kids, since it provides families with time to consider their options, and for a child to further explore their identity before progressing to permanent drugs such as cross-sex hormones and surgeries.
However, the researchers at Karolinska could not determine the psychosocial benefit of the drugs as treatment for dysphoria based on the current scientific evidence available.
This position was similarly echoed by Dr. Nergårdh, who said, "The scientific support for the effects of the treatments and the risks of the treatment is relatively weak."
The doctors who conducted the government-funded study, concluded, "Evidence to assess the effects of hormone treatment on the above fields in children with gender dysphoria are insufficient."
About gender medical interventions for minors, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of Do No Harm, told Fox News Digital, "The point here is that for a treatment that immutably changes these children’s lives, It is unconscionable to push these treatments without a clear understanding of the long-term consequences. What we are hearing from European countries, including the latest of Belgium, is that the long-term effects do not accrue to the benefit of these children."

This THING isn't a man) DC man convicted of breaking into home, raping 9-year-old girl
(Stop calling him a so called "man".
He is nothing more than a Sick Son Of A B!tch)
DC man convicted of breaking into home, raping 9-year-old girl
Joshua Grice, 30, was convicted of first-degree rape and first-degree burglary-home invasion
A Washington, D.C.,
man was convicted for breaking into a home in Maryland and sexually
assaulting a 9-year-old girl he found asleep in her bedroom.
Joshua Grice, 30, was convicted of first-degree rape and first-degree burglary-home invasion for the Nov. 29, 2021, incident. Grice faces a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison and the potential of a life sentence. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for September.
The 9-year-old girl was sleeping in her bed at a home in Takoma Park, Maryland when she woke up to a man wearing all black clothing, a black hat and a black face mask sitting on top of her.

He sexually assaulted the girl before running into the living room area and leaving through an open window, according to Fox 5 DC.
The victim alerted her sister, also a minor, who was asleep in an adjacent bed. The girl's sister went into the living room area and spotted the suspect standing outside the open window and looking into the apartment.
After the suspect noticed the victim's sister, he ran from the area. Police then responded to the scene and set up a perimeter but did not find the suspect.

In May 2022, the Montgomery County Crime Lab matched a DNA sample from the victim's underwear to Grice.
"This violent offender preyed on a young, innocent child," State’s Attorney John McCarthy said in a statement. "Due to the efforts of the Montgomery County Crime Lab, Montgomery County Police and our trial team, justice is being served. We also want to recognize the Tree House Child Advocacy Center for its impactful work in cases involving vulnerable victims."

Maybelline faces boycott over partnership with Dylan Mulvaney

Maybelline faces boycott over partnership with Dylan Mulvaney
By Aimee PicchiThe pushback comes as another major brand, Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light, is grappling with a boycott of its beer due to a similar partnership with Mulvaney.
The uproar comes as conservative lawmakers in some U.S. states pass laws that restrict the rights of transgender people, such as a new measure in North Dakota that restricts transgender health care in the state. Brands both big and small often partner with social media stars to promote their products in Instagram Reels or TikTok videos, often as a way to express support for inclusivity or reach specific groups like LGBTQ+ people or young women.
Mulvaney has become a lightning rod for anti-trans sentiment among some conservatives, with many targeting her brand sponsors as a way to express their anger over transgender rights.
"The latests fools to employ Dylan Mulvaney is make up company," one Twitter user wrote. "Get woke, go broke."
Maybelline and L'Oreal, its parent company, didn't immediately return a request for comment.
Another Twitter user wrote, "Time for #BoycottMaybelline to trend, since Maybelline used Dylan Mulvaney as their sponsor."
Mulvaney,
who has 1.8 million followers on Instagram, often features herself
promoting products from major brands, such as recent posts where she
sports Nike athletic wear and Kate Spade clothing. In the Maybelline
promotion, Mulvaney shows herself without makeup and then transformed by
eyeshadow, lipstick and more products.

Biden kicks press out of Oval Office while joking about answering their questions: 'Leave'
Biden kicks press out of Oval Office while joking about answering their questions: 'Leave'
Biden has had the fewest interviews in office as president since Ronald Reagan
Biden kicks out the press while joking about re-election campaign
President Biden asked the White House press to leave and joked that the reason he'll run again is to answer reporters; questions for another four years.
The White House press corps was kicked out of the Oval Office by President Biden on Monday as he joked about spending another four years answering their questions.
Biden sat down with two members of the group called the "Tennessee Three," state Representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, D-Tenn., to discuss their recent experience of being expelled from office after taking part in and leading a disruptive protest in the state capitol.
After condemning Republican state leaders for voting to expel Jones and Pearson, Biden told the press to leave as they began their conversation.
"I know they're gonna be really excited about it, but I'm gonna ask the press to leave," Biden said.

As the press was escorted out of the room, multiple reporters shouted questions regarding his plans to run again in 2024.
"Mr. President, why do you want four more years?" one reporter asked.
"So, I get to answer your questions," Biden joked.
Another reporter questioned, "Why should Americans give you four more years?"
"Stay tuned," Biden responded.
Though Biden joked about answering reporter questions, the president has often gone months without having a formal press conference. The New York Times recently reported that Biden has held only 54 press interviews throughout his first two years in office, the lowest number since President Reagan.
Biden also broke a common presidential practice by not holding a press conference during his trip to Ireland earlier this month.

While speaking with Jones and Pearson, Biden mentioned that he "was sorry" he couldn’t have met with them during Vice President Kamala Harris’ trip to their state. He also praised the state reps for "standing up" for the community and Democratic values by protesting for gun control.
"Look, what the Republican legislature did was shocking and undemocratic, and it was without any precedent. But you turned it around very quickly," Biden said.
He added, "But on so many issues, you've been out front and you understand exactly what it's like. It's just tragic that’s happening in your state, in particular in your city, but also across the country. And, you know, nothing is guaranteed about democracy. Every day, every generation has to fight for you all are doing just that."
Though Jones and Pearson were expelled from the house by Republican legislators, they were quickly reinstated days later. Democratic Rep. Gloria Johnson also took part in the protests but avoided expulsion by a single vote because she wasn't as disruptive as the others.

Biden is expected to announce his re-election campaign on Tuesday after repeatedly dodging the question when asked directly. Various media outlets and Democratic politicians have recently expressed doubts about Biden running for a second term due to his age.
