A groundbreaking survey on the mental health of gender-minority college students found that individuals who don’t identify with the gender they were assigned at birth face a much higher risk of developing mental health issues than their peers.

With “Gender Minority Mental Health in the U.S.: Results of a National Survey on College Campuses,” whose findings were published Friday in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers set out to “describe the mental health inequities and the magnitude of inequities within this population, and then within subgroups of gender minority students,” the study’s lead author Sarah Ketchen Lipson told the Daily News.

The trend of gender-confused males entering ladies’ athletics has spread to Hawaii, where one high school volleyball coach is speaking out on behalf of girls’ safety and the rights of their parents.

During last week’s girls volleyball opener in Pukalani, the Kamehameha Schools Maui team was joined by a new member, who suited up but didn’t play, Maui News reported: a former member of KSM boys junior varsity volleyball team who now “identifies” as female (whose identity is being kept anonymous).

On Aug. 16, R. G. and G. R. Harris Funeral Homes filed its brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, urging the court not to interpret the word “sex” in federal nondiscrimination law to include “gender identity” because doing so will cause problems in employment law, reduce bodily privacy protections for everyone, and erode equal opportunities for women and girls.

The Trump administration reiterated to the Supreme Court on Friday that it does not believe that federal employment law that bans discrimination based on sex also encompasses discrimination based on transgender status.

Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner and his 22-year-old transgender “girlfriend,” a male who goes by “Sophia,” claim they want to experience motherhood, according to an article recently posted on activistmommy.com. According to the U.K. Mirror, Jenner, who has already fathered six biological children and four stepkids, says he’s “never had the chance to bring a child up in the role of a mother, which [he’s] always dreamed of doing.”

Another trans couple, Precious and Myles Brady Davis, who announced in July 2019 that they will soon become parents, said, “We hope once again that through sharing our story individuals are inspired to see that all kinds of families exist in our world and should be celebrated.”

Media outlets, of course, praise these transgender pairs, touting their desires and experiences as vital steps toward normalizing the transgender lifestyle. But what about children who are raised in such environments? Are they celebrating these lifestyle choices?
