LAWFARE—Leftist Judges & Trans Activists to Democracy: Go to Hell
The far Left is weaponizing the justice system to nullify laws passed in red states protecting children from transgender predators
If Democrats can’t win elections in red states, they’ll use lawfare to push transgender ideology on our children. That’s the message from two back-to-back federal appellate court rulings targeting laws passed by Republicans in West Virginia and Florida.
In both cases, Obama-appointed judges joined D.C.-based professional litigation groups to thwart the will of voters in two states and the lawmakers faithfully enshrining their beliefs in law.
Restoration News has calculated that Gay Activism, Inc. had a whopping $3.7 billion in 2021 with which to sexualize your children. This is that power in action—and it’s why conservatives need to step up and abolish transgenderism once and for all.
Girls’ Sports, Sans Girls
In West Virginia, two Democrat judges in the 4th Circuit of Appeals Court overturned a 2021 law (HB 3293) protecting girls sports from transgender boys who identify as girls: Pamela A. Harris, an ex-Obama assistant attorney general appointed by him in 2014, and Toby J. Heytens, ex-solicitor general under Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) appointed by Joe Biden in 2021.
Throughout the majority opinion, the Democrat judges lecture the defendants on “gender affirming hormony therapy” and the “physical changes . . . typically experienced by cisgender girls.” The judges argue that “people whose sex is assigned as male at birth [don’t] enjoy a meaningful competitive athletic advantage over cisgender girls.” They also suggest that the transgender student who brought the lawsuit would be at physical risk of playing on a boys’ sports team with boys who aren’t receiving testosterone-draining hormone therapy.
This isn’t good science or legal reasoning, but Newspeak drawn straight from the transgender Nazis’ dictionary of politically approved words. And that’s precisely who powered the lawsuit.
Besides a bevy of Democrat-run states like Vermont and New Jersey, the lawsuit was pushed by the Trevor Project, a $65 million per year LGBT lobbying machine demanding chemical castration and genital mutilation for minors. Also present were the ACLU and Lambda Legal, a major transgender lawfare nonprofit for “queer justice” headed by a former Obama Assistant Secretary of Education.

Say Ma’m—Or Else
“Once again, the State of Florida has a First Amendment problem,” sneered Northern District of Florida Judge Mark E. Walker, an Obama nominee, in his official opinion. “Of late, it has happened so frequently, some might say you can set your clock by it.”
Walker overturned a 2023 law (HB 1069) that provides “age-“ and “developmentally appropriate instruction” to protect schoolchildren, banning woke teachers from teaching “sexual orientation or gender identity” to kids from pre-K to 8th grade. It also blocks teachers from using pronouns (“he, she”) that don’t match a person’s biological sex. You know, calling girls “girls”—real controversial stuff.
Enter the rainbow jackboots and a lawsuit from two male Hillsborough County high school teachers, one of whom calls himself “Katie,” whom Walker notes “would and could correct” students who “misgender her.”
Walker, who uses his opinion to sermonize on Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself”:
Katie Wood is a transgender woman who is known at school—indeed, in every aspect of her life—as “Ms. Wood.” She uses she/her pronouns to refer to herself and would prefer that others do as well. AV Schwandes is nonbinary and is known as “Mx. Schwandes.” Mx. Schwandes uses they/them pronouns to refer to themself and would prefer that others do as well. This Court uses the parties’ preferred pronouns throughout this Order. . . .
In sharing her preferred title and pronouns, Ms. Wood celebrates herself and sings herself—not in a disruptive or coercive way, but in a way that subtly vindicates her identity, her dignity, and her humanity.
“Ours is a Union of individuals, celebrating ourselves and singing ourselves and being ourselves without apology,” Walker smugly (and wrongly) concludes.
As with the 4th Circuit ideologues dressed up as serious legal scholars, Walker is a hard-left activist playing at blind arbiter of justice. He has a history of partisan rulings against Florida Republicans—forcing then-Gov. Rick Scott to reenfranchise felons in 2018, abolishing restrictions on drop boxes, and overturning a 2023 law barring non-citizens from distributing and collecting voter registration forms.
The rule of law is dead in America so long as Democrat judges can nullify any law they choose—and call it “democracy.” When will Republicans start ignoring their lawless decisions and follow the will of the people?
