“Yesterday, UFC fighter Ronda Rousey accepted a Marine's invitation to the Marine Corps ball in December. When they heard Ronda Rousey was teaming up with the Marines, ISIS was like, "We surrender!"- Jimmy Fallon
The UFC’s, Ultimate Fighting Championship, undefeated Women’s Bantam Weight Champion twenty-eight year old Ronda Rousey has accepted a fight with the super tough competitor Fallon Fox, but this fight will not take place within the ring. Rousey has indicated that she does not want to fight the transgender “woman.” Fox who began “her” life as a man named Boyd Burton is a member of the small, but growing, powerful lobby known as LGBT. In a society that seems to value political correctness over freedom, safety, even over God, Ronda Rousey’s

According to Denise McAllister of the Federalist, Rousey has been tormented for several months being called a “hater, super-transphobic, a horrendous bigot” among other things (McAllister). With a growing leftist agenda in America, Rousey has aligned herself with the wrong side- at least as far as political correctness in concerned. Neither safety nor fair competition seems to matter in this public debate. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Jewish Anti-Defamation League have both aligned themselves with LGBT agenda and “anti-hate legislation” ( ) Furthermore, the groups who do not agree with this agenda are tagged as haters and are often career blacklisted (Ruby-Sachs) Rousey’s rationale is that Fox spent over three decades as a man and he has different bone structure and power than a woman has. In his fight against Tamikka “Boom Boom” Brents he knocked her out in two minutes and broke her occipital bone. Brents said, “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life…” (McAllister). Although Rousey’s decision has nothing to do with Fox’s transgender lifestyle, the battle has already turned ugly and she has been heavily attacked in social media and labeled a “horrendous bigot, transphobic, stupid, and a hate-monger” (Twitchy). Other individuals who have refused to bow to the LGBT mandates have paid a steep price! One example is the Klein family. They owned Sweet Cakes Bakery and when they refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple due to their religious convictions they were boycotted, picketed, received death threats and were sued

    In early Islamic culture, a transgender woman called a mukhannathun, a woman who had been born a male but with natural femininity, was accepted and allowed to have relations with men or women. The mukhannathum held an important position in society, associated with music and entertainment, and are stated in the Qur’an as companions of women. They were companions of Prophet Muhammad and his wives, and close enough to accompany them in their homes. However, this is significant as a woman’s chamber is known to be a holy place for Muslims, and is forbidden to strangers and most unrelated men.…

    In her speech “Our Armies Are Rising and We Are Getting Stronger”, to the Latino Gay Men of New York (LGMNY) in 2001, Sylvia Rivera recounted her life in the context of her contribution to transgender activism, specifically that of the Stonewall Riots which took place during the summer of 1969. Throughout her speech Rivera reveals the underlying and persistent marginalization that took place not only on behalf of the cisgender, heteronormative community, but by her own community as well. Just eight months before her death, Rivera’s speech encapsulated a hierarchy of oppression that attacked her from all sides, which is not only reflected through her personal narratives, but also through the memorialization of social movements and the people…

    Adversity is a basic part of humanity. Without adversity there would never be progress, however, it can be excruciatingly painful. So how-if it is so painful-could this led to progress and relief? Adversity is conflict, it is struggle, and once struggle occurs, the problem can be noticed. This is shown to be true by Barbara Kingsolver in The Bean Trees, Desiderius Erasmus in In Praise of Folly, and Dave Philipps in “Second Judge Blocks Trump’s Transgender Ban in the Military”.…

    In recent months there has been much discussion surrounding North Carolina’s controversial new bill that prohibits transgender individuals from using public restrooms for the gender they identify as, and also bans cities from passing antidiscrimination laws. This new bill, naturally, sparked a number of different opinions. For instance, the editorial “Transgender Law Makes North Carolina Pioneer in Bigotry” by the New York Times heavily criticizes the law for reinforcing and validating negative narratives of transgender people. In contrast, The Daily Wire article “5 Times Transgender Men Abused Women and Children in the Bathroom” is a conservative piece that criticizes the liberal point of view and justifies North Carolina’s by citing specific…

    Her accusatory stance on multiculturalism, in regards to religious veiling, goes as far to say that “..the slope from veiling to murder is a slippery one”. Arguing that when women from patriarchal cultures migrate to the United States, they should be no less protected from male violence than any other citizen. Although, this should not mean ditching the veil and giving up religious belief or leaving behind heirloom culture, it should mean that all women despite their cultural or religious beliefs, be they of minority or majority, should be entitled and receive that same security and opportunities as every other…

    This is turn creates a disadvantage to female athletes. The same holds true for a transgender male who was born female because of the use of hormones such as testosterone which may exceed the normal levels of men. This poses an issue of fairness for all players regardless if they are transgender or not. For example, Keelin Godsey who is a U.S. Hammer Thrower, identifies as male but competes as a female. Some may find this to be unfair because Godsey is displaying a contradiction while using the fact that she is still genetically female to her advantage.…
