Associated Press: Trump administration scrubs data on gender-based bullying from school civil rights survey. “The numbers come from the Education Department’s Civil Rights Data Collection, a federal survey of nearly every public school in the nation.

Trump Smashes Democrats’ “Transgender for Everybody” Insanity

Since he returned to the White House, US President Donald Trump made it clear that common sense and clarity will return to American life starting from the top. In his latest move, Trump formally ended the “Transgender for Everybody” insanity of the Democrats and this means dismantling the subversive woke policies that harmed children, women and families. The latest executive move is also about restoring decency in America as we know it.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the White House announcement. Some parts in boldface…

Two years ago today, the Biden Administration desecrated Easter Sunday with a “transgender” message that elevated radical leftist ideology over faith, family, and biological truth. This Easter season, the Trump Administration is celebrating a decisive victory: the swift and unrelenting dismantling of subversive, woke policies that endangered children, eroded women’s rights, assaulted common sense, and dragged America toward moral and cultural decline.

Under President Trump, the era of government-sanctioned delusion is over:

President Trump declared it the official policy of the U.S. Government that there are only two immutable sexes: male and female.

President Trump banned federal funding, sponsorship, or promotion of the chemical and surgical mutilation of minors — protecting children from irreversible harm and directing agencies to defund institutions engaged in these practices.

As a result, more than three dozen health systems across the country — including Kaiser Permanente, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Children’s Minnesota, Denver Health, Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Stanford Medicine, NYU Langone, and many others — announced they are stopping or suspending child mutilation programs.

The Trump Administration ended the un-American indoctrination of schoolchildren by terminating federal support for “gender ideology” and “equity” curricula — enforcing parental rights and putting states on notice to remove such content or lose funding.

President Trump ended the unfair, demeaning practice of forcing women to compete against biological men in sports — which resulted in both the NCAA and the International Olympic Committee, as well as multiple state high school athletics associations, to realign with biological reality.

The Department of War reinstated standards requiring service members to serve according to their biological sex, banned transgender individuals from military service where it conflicts with readiness and cohesion, and prohibited taxpayer funds for sex change procedures — restoring the military’s focus on excellence, not ideology.

The Department of Health and Human Services conducted a comprehensive review of so-called “gender-affirming care” and confirmed the lack of medical or scientific evidence supporting its irreversible effects on minors.

The Trump Administration — including across the Department of War and the Department of Veterans Affairs — ceased all funding for sex change surgeries and related procedures.

President Trump eliminated radical gender ideology from U.S. service academies and training programs.

President Trump directed enforcement to protect single-sex spaces designed for women and girls — including bathrooms, locker rooms, and shelters — based on biological sex.

The Trump Administration axed billions of dollars in grants that had been used by states to perpetuate radical gender ideology and related propaganda.

The Trump Administration ended the practice of allowing gender self-identification on federal documents — including passports — restoring biological sex as the sole basis for official records.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think President Trump and his administration executed enough reforms to restore decency and common sense in America? Are there many members of your family who allowed themselves to be consumed and even controlled by the LGBTQ mobs? Was there a significant increase of members of your local community who came out identifying themselves as transgender or non-binary individuals? Are the transgendered people in your local community openly supporting Palestinian terrorists and the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran?

https://theconversation.com/understanding-what-motivates-bullies-could-help-tackle-school-violence-259227. Yes, OK- but see: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/23/15-year-old-girl-misogyny-social-media-online-abuse. If this sort of thing isn't tackled, & if #children & young people don't feel safe in our #schools because of their #gender, their #ethnicity, #nationality, #disability, #sexuality or #genderidentity, then the "anti-bullying policies" of those schools aren't worth the paper they're printed on!

I realized I left out one of the most important figures—Disney's Mulan, the only Disney princess I truly love and care for.

Mulan is one of the few Disney princess movies that I genuinely love and enjoy rewatching. Before cracking my egg, I couldn't quite explain why I was so drawn to this movie. But now, it's obviously clear why. Mulan's story of bravery, self-discovery, and challenging gender norms resonates deeply with me.

Watching Mulan take her father's place in the army, disguising herself as a man to protect her family, and ultimately finding her true strength and identity, struck a chord within me. Her journey mirrors the struggles and triumphs many of us face in our quest for self-acceptance and understanding.

Mulan isn't just a princess; she's a warrior who embodies the courage to be true to oneself, and for that, she will always have a special place in my heart.🌸💖

✨ Cracking My Egg with Anime: A Journey of Gender Identity Discovery ✨

In a moment of reflection, I found myself thinking about the animated characters that played pivotal roles in my journey towards discovering my true gender identity. While many characters have influenced me, one stands out the most: Mahiro Oyama from the anime Onimai.

In a nutshell, Onimai follows the story of a shut-in pervert boy who suddenly finds himself transformed into a middle-school girl due to a drug created by his (now her) genius younger sister. As Mahiro adapts to her new body, friends, and lifestyle, she truly begins to embrace her girlhood. Without giving away any spoilers, there comes a crucial point where Mahiro must decide whether to continue taking the drug, solidifying her new life as a girl but making it harder to revert back, or stop the drug and return to being a boy, losing her new friends in the process. It was at this moment I thought, "I wish I had that drug..." and BOOM! My quest for my true gender identity began.

But Mahiro isn't the only character who has influenced me. Ranma from Ranma 1/2 also played a significant role. Ranma is a teenage boy cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water and revert back with hot water. I always dreamed of having that curse, but never changing back to a boy. Back then, I didn't know what transgender meant; I just assumed everyone had similar thoughts and moved on. In the same anime, there's Ukyo, a girl raised as a boy until her teenage years when she could no longer hide her feminine attributes and embraced her true identity. I found her story compelling, not only because of her appearance but also her backstory of being forced to appear and behave as a boy.

Lastly, there's Megumo from the manga Love Me for Who I Am. Megumo is a lonely student assigned male at birth but enjoys wearing girl clothes. They are invited to work at a cross-dresser themed cafe by a classmate, where they find a safe space among many LGBTQ+ characters who understand them. Reading this manga was during the time I identified as non-binary. Learning about the diversity of gender identities and expressions in this manga helped me realize my true identity as a woman.

I hope everyone finds this not only entertaining but also a reflection on how our early fantasies and preferences can shape our personal journeys. For me, it's been a story over 40 years in the making. 🌟💖

I am a nebula painted among stars. I am Beethoven’s Symphony Number 7 in A Major, Opus 92: II Allegretto. I am the many-colored fire that lives within the wood becoming coal beneath a bonfire in the night. I am a tree discovering itself to be a tree, rooted but also interconnected. I am the horn of Helm Hammerhand sounding in the deep. I am the sweet heavy scent of summer air in a forest so dense the sun can’t be seen. I am a lost thing, a found thing, a rediscovered thing, an old thing. I am an eternity and I have no idea how long I’ve been here.
