Fashion model learning to be a man after
being pushed to transition at age 15:
‘I was really crazy on the hormones’

In Catholic churches across Manhattan and Brooklyn, Salomé captivated the congregation, uplifting the faithful with her soulful singing and skilled organ playing. The New York Archdiocese Organist Training Program enrollee’s musical gifts had her booking gigs across the city. But for years, Salomé’s bashful smile and angelic voice concealed a secret — one not even known in the shadows of the confessional. She was a he; Salomé was born Miles. His story is one that’s becoming all too familiar: A child with unconventional interests, swayed by strange ideologies on the Internet, is hustled by doctors into a life of medical dependency — only to find himself questioning everything years later.

Comments:

At 27, this very wise young man is detransitioning. He finds that doctors now have no interest in him. I found his story to be poignant. It needs to be read. If I happened to know a confused young person (I do not) I would share this story with them and their parents. This story is not for driveways.

I had a trans female hairdresser for a while. In “her” defense, it was during Covid, and right after our state’s lockdown ended, she was the only hairdresser willing to work on me. She was built like a linebacker and went by the name of Lucy. “She” also did drag, which I could never figure out how that worked, if you were supposed to already be a female. I actually really liked her, but getting a consistent cut and color from a man taking female hormones on a regular basis became a challenge. That and trying to follow a conversation littered with “theys” had me confused and afraid of saying the “wrong thing.” I finally parted ways. The very professional gay manager understood completely, and reassigned me another hairdresser. I bore “her” no ill will; this was just my experience trying to navigate a whole new phenomenon and language.

There will be more of these cases and ones with medical problems from hormones. There will also be lawsuits. I hope this person finds peace and an understanding wife.

A man cannot become a woman and a woman cannot become a man. They can play pretend but cutting off body parts, adding body parts, rearranging and mutilating body parts changes nothing nor does makeup, hair style or artificial nails. Your DNA will prove who you are. As an adult you are free to go this route but leave the kids alone. As an adult I am free to not participate in your delusion. I am sorry this young man has to go through this mess that was foisted upon him when he was not of an appropriate age. I wish him luck. He seems to have his feet on the ground and is trying to get his act together so he can carry on with the rest of his life. Lots of health and mental issues to deal with. I wish trans people no harm and do not want anyone to hurt them but like I said, leave the kids alone.

Sorry. Deleted. TMI But don't take my word for it study it. To force this on an unknowing child is child abuse.

They are always sorry after transitioning, when it's too late. The doctors still keep the money and the pharmaceutical companies continue counting theirs.

My respect to this young man. Too many people messed with his young head and he should never have had to go through this. It’s clear from the story that it is not easy for him to de-transition but he’s doing it. I hope he gets the love and encouragement he needs to come back to where God wanted him to be in the first place. He has courage. He has my prayers.

President Trump fired back at former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev over his dismissive response to Trump's insistence that Russia take demonstrable and verifiable steps to end its invasion and occupation of Ukraine. On Monday, RedState reported that President Trump had established a new and aggressive deadline for Russia to demonstrate its willingness to bring the war to a negotiated conclusion. (snip). "I’m going to make a new deadline, of about 10, 10 or 12 days from today," Trump said. "There’s no reason for waiting. It was 50 days.

Ever since CIA Director John Ratcliffe issued a CIA report (styled as a "CIA Note: Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian Election Interference"), we've seen signs that the dam of hidden corruption regarding the Russia Collusion hoax was beginning to break. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has since issued several document disclosures related to the topic. And Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released the Department of Justice Inspector General Appendix regarding the FBI's "Midyear Exam" investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails leading up to the 2016 election.There's a lot to review and digest.

Surrogacy is problematic for a whole host of reasons. It makes procreation and pregnancy transactional, creates morally and ethically reprehensible conundrums, hurts women and babies, has strong overlap with human trafficking, and reeks of corruption. Arguably, the most alarming consequence that comes from the increasingly popular practice of renting wombs, however, is that surrogacy can be easily exploited by pedophiles and abusers to gain proximity to children.

The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted. European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.

In New Planned Parenthood Ruling, Obama

Upon assuming the bench, all new federal judges take an oath to “faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me … under the Constitution and laws of the United States.” So, why is Massachusetts-based District Court Judge Indira Talwani flouting that pledge? On Monday, the Obama appointee (and Democrat donor) issued a revised preliminary injunction that attempts to block provisions from a recently passed law prohibiting the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. Talwani previously handed down a similar overreaching injunction in the case last week after initially granting the pro-abortion plaintiffs’ request for a temporary restraining order earlier this month.

The scandal-scarred independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a shocking new poll found. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions. Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.

While most of the country has erupted in outrage after an angry mob savagely assaulted two white people in downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, one prominent local politician has the exact opposite reaction to the story. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a group of black individuals smacked around a bald white guy at the intersection of West Fourth Street and Elm Street in downtown Cincy and beat him so bad that he could not get up. Then, a white woman got slugged by one of the cowards. Her head slammed down onto the concrete, and she lost consciousness. Blood was seen coming out of her mouth.

A radioactive wasp nest has been discovered near a former nuclear weapon manufacturing facility in South Carolina. The nest was found by workers at the Savannah River Site in Aiken County, according to a report from the Department of Energy. According to reports, the contaminated nest was found on July 3, just before 2 p.m., by Radiological Control Operations workers during routine inspections. Located on a stanchion near a tank in the F-Area tank farm, the nest registered a staggering 100,000 disintegrations per minute (dpm), a level described as “moderately high” radiation. Workers promptly sprayed the nest to eliminate the wasps, which were then bagged and disposed of as radiological waste.

The House is in recess now, but that hasn't stopped silly Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from lame attacks on Republicans and President Donald Trump. It's all they know how to do since, as former Democratic operative Dan Turrentine noted, they don't have any agenda. He posted videos doing things like swimming in a pool or lifting weights saying that he should be working and lowering costs for people. (Snip) Swalwell was roundly mocked on X. Fox's Greg Gutfeld had a little fun with him, as our sister site Twitchy reported. Gutfeld said Swalwell's videos gave "the ick." That mocking upset Swalwell, who then decided to embarrass himself more.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico. She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed the idea of running for political office next year in Tennessee, according to two people who have spoken directly with him about it. If Hegseth were to follow through on the discussions, it would amount to a major leadership shake-up at the department that oversees the American military and millions of federal employees. The Defense Department bars civilian employees from running for political office, meaning Hegseth would have to resign to do so. In a statement, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said, “Hegseth’s focus remains solely on serving under President Trump.”
