Insanity is a powerful tool for uniting people - insane people, or, are they demonically affected?
Revolt of the Insane: Meta Staffers Enraged Over Removal of Tampons from Men’s Rooms
New in PJ Media:
At least at this point, the woke tide seems to have crested, and in many areas, sanity is returning to America. Cancel culture has lost its teeth, and many ascribe Trump’s reelection to general disgust with the glorification of madness and perversion, the destruction of women’s sports, and the endless pandering to minuscule sub-minorities who wielded influence far out of proportion to their actual numbers. But the tide turning does not at all mean that woke insanity has disappeared; it is still very much with us, as a roiling controversy at Mark Zuckerberg’s social media giant Meta demonstrates.
Zuckerberg has recently taken a turn toward rationality, renouncing his former embrace of leftist authoritarianism and censorship of dissenting voices and rolling back the silencing of dissidents on Facebook. The New York Post reported Friday that several weeks ago, Zuckerberg “overhauled a variety of Meta’s internal and external policies, ranging from lifting restrictions on speech to ‘restore free expression’ across his platforms to changing its ‘Hateful Conduct’ policy to allow criticism of gender identity.” That’s all to the good, but when Zuckerberg attempted to swing the pendulum back even farther toward common sense, he ran into an angry gaggle of Meta employees who would much rather cling to their delusions, thankyouverymuch.
The Post noted that “after Meta removed tampons from men’s bathrooms in company office buildings earlier this month, some employees started coordinating ‘quiet rebellions’ by bringing in their own.” Oh, for Pete’s sake. The lunacy, it burns. From this “quiet rebellion” at Meta, we learn not only that staffing the place is a significant number of women who think they’re men, but that these women are so determined to cling to these fantasies that they believe that a quiet and reasonable move to nudge them back to reality is some kind of oppressive measure that they must righteously resist.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that these courageous freedom fighters decided that the missing tampons constituted a hill on which they were willing to die: in order to “protest Mr. Zuckerberg’s actions, some Meta workers soon brought their own tampons, pads, and liners to the men’s bathrooms, five people with knowledge of the effort said. A group of employees also circulated a petition to save the tampons.” Yes, “save the tampons.” It does have quite the ring of “save the whales,” but the advocates of this case feel just as righteous as the whale-savers. Women must be able to pretend they’re men and get sanitary napkins in men’s rooms, or white supremacy wins, you see.
There is more. Read the rest here.

US court blocks Trump’s order on trans inmates
A US judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from transferring transgender inmates to men’s prisons and cutting off their access to medical treatment related to so-called gender transitions.
This decision challenges an executive order signed by Trump on January 20, his first day back in office, which directed the Bureau of Prisons to house inmates in accordance with their biological sex and eliminate funding for certain medical treatments. The order explicitly mandates that the federal bureau ensure that “males are not detained in women’s prisons.”
In a broad ruling that temporarily halts that executive order, US District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington, DC on Tuesday night determined that three transgender inmates who had earlier filed a lawsuit would likely succeed in proving the policy was unconstitutional.
In the lawsuit, incarcerated transgender women accuse the president of endangering their lives by eliminating their access to medical care through an executive order that “categorically bans transgender healthcare regardless of medical necessity.”
The plaintiffs had reportedly been housed in women’s units for months or even years until January, when they were removed from the general population in women’s prisons and placed in segregated units with other transgender women while awaiting transfer to men’s facilities.
An attorney told the judge that they were “terrified” at the prospect of these transfers. Lamberth agreed that the trans inmates faced a “significantly elevated risk of physical and sexual violence” and “numerous and severe symptoms” without appropriate medical care.
Meanwhile, all the women in women's prisons face a significantly elevated risk of physical and sexual violence by the presence of those with a penis - a weapon of singular destruction.
The judge noted there are only about 16 transgender women housed in US female penitentiaries, including the three plaintiffs who sued in Washington. The judge concluded that “the public interest in seeing the plaintiffs relocated immediately to male facilities is slight at best.”
Does that include the women in women's prisons? I think not!
The decision marked the second time when a federal judge ruled in favor of LGBTQ+ legal rights groups that sued to stop the US Bureau of Prisons from enforcing the order.
Since taking office, Trump has issued multiple gender-related orders asserting that the US government policy is that “there are only two genders – male and female.”
Trump has rolled back protections for transgender rights as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs which the federal government had established during former President Joe Biden’s administration.
He has also ended federal support for medical procedures related to sex change procedures for people under age 19, stating that these “chemical and surgical mutilations” of children should be stopped.
Last month, he inked an order intended to eliminate “radical gender ideology” from the US armed forces. The order states that military service should be reserved for those who are mentally and physically fit for duty.
On Thursday, Trump signed another executive order barring trans women from competing in female sports. His administration has also announced plans to block transgender athletes from competing in international events hosted by the US, including the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the World Cup.
Several of Trump’s policies have already faced legal challenges, with federal judges blocking some of his directives. His administration’s approach has drawn widespread criticism from civil rights organizations and LGBT advocacy groups.
