A federal judge on Tuesday struck down major parts of Florida’s ban on transgender medical interventions for children. Judge Robert Hinkle in Tallahassee ruled that “gender identity is real” and that a “widely accepted standard of care” includes puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. In May of last year, Florida banned these hormonal transgender medical treatments for children. “The state of Florida can regulate as needed but cannot flatly deny transgender individuals safe and effective medical treatment — treatment with medications routinely provided to others with the state’s full approval so long as the purpose is not to support the patient’s transgender identity,” Hinkle wrote in his order. Hinkle also nixed two parts of the ban applying to adults. The law required adults to see a doctor in person before starting cross-sex hormones and stated that hormone treatments for adults “may not be prescribed, administered, or performed except by a physician.” Three families along with LGBT groups sued over Florida’s ban, claiming the law denied the parents their right to make medical decisions for their trans-identifying children. Governor Ron DeSantis’ (R) office plans to appeal the ruling. “We disagree with the court’s erroneous rulings on the law, on the facts, and on the science,” Julia Friedland, the governor’s deputy press secretary, said in a statement. “As we’ve seen here in Florida, the United Kingdom, and across Europe, there is no quality evidence to support the chemical and physical mutilation of children. These procedures do permanent, life-altering damage to children, and history will look back on this fad in horror,” she said. A number of European countries have pumped the brakes on transgender medical interventions for children including England, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Several other U.S. states have also passed bans on transgender medical interventions for children, including genital surgeries, double mastectomies for girls seeking a more male appearance, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. Last week, more than 100 health care professionals and groups signed onto a declaration calling on major medical organizations to halt dangerous transgender medical interventions for children.

Retired Super Bowl-winning QB Tom Brady’s uniform pants — worn during his final game in the NFL — were put up for auction recently and went for close to $90,000. The retired Tampa Bay Buccaneers star’s final game in the league ended up being when the Buccaneers faced off against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Game in January 2023 and lost.  The pants Brady wore in the game sold at auction for $89,100, according to Grey Flannel Auctions. A description of the item for auction read, “1/16/2023 Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC Wild Card ‘Last’ Game-Used Pants (MeiGray Photo-Matched • Brady’s Final Career Game).” Last year, game uniform pants that Brady wore during 11 games of what turned out to be his final season in the league also sold for a pretty penny at auction when they went for $31,200 in November, through Heritage Auctions, according to Darren Rovell, CBS News reported. Pants from Tom Brady’s final game recently sold at auction for $89,100. https://t.co/jtEfNdOfTo — ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) June 10, 2024 The crazy thing is that the amount the retired NFL legend’s pants brought in is nowhere near the most money netted by a previously-worn pair of trousers. In 2012, a pair of pants Babe Ruth wore from his New York Yankees 1921 season sold at auction for $183,500. And two years later, two other pairs of Ruth’s game-worn pants sold for $90,000 at Goldin Auctions, the outlet noted. However, Brady does beat the Sultan of Swat in one area and that’s owning the record for the most expensive NFL jersey ever sold. Last November, the former Patriots and Buccaneers star QB’s final game jersey sold for $1.39 million at Sotheby’s, CBS News noted. In 2023, the seven-time Super Bowl-winning QB made his retirement from the game official when he took to his Instagram and announced that after 23 seasons in the league, he was done. In the now-viral video on Instagram, Brady first thanked fans and everyone who helped him along the way, before he explained that he was retiring for good from the NFL for real this time. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady shared, noting his previous retirement announcement on February 1, 2022, before changing his mind. In 2022, Brady made headlines when he announced he was finally walking away from professional football. But 40 days later he reversed that decision and returned to play with the Bucs for another season. During his two decade-plus seasons in the league, Brady made numerous trips to the Super Bowl, resulting in seven Super Bowl rings. He also made 15 Pro Bowl appearances.

Three teenagers in Spokane, Washington, have been charged with felony vandalism after allegedly leaving scooter skid marks on a newly painted Pride mural at an intersection. The incident occurred on June 5, prompting a swift response from local authorities and sparking a debate over the severity of the charges. According to the Spokane Police Department, the teens were seen riding Lime scooters and causing damage to the Pride flag-painted crosswalk. Witnesses reported that one of the suspects also yelled obscenities before fleeing the scene. The mural had recently been repainted following a previous act of vandalism in mid-May, where individuals dumped a liquid on it and set it on fire. All the Karens need to understand that if they don’t want skid marks on their not accomplishment symbol they need to stop painting their fvcking mural on a street. Why the hell is this so difficult for some to understand? pic.twitter.com/04zwozHte9 — Gabriela Iglesias (@iglesias_gabby) June 9, 2024 The teenagers have been charged with first-degree malicious mischief, a class-B felony in Washington State. This charge carries significant penalties, including the potential for up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. The classification of the act as a felony has drawn criticism from some quarters, with opponents arguing that the punishment is disproportionate to the crime. Local news outlets have reported mixed reactions from the community. While some view the vandalism as a hate crime against the LGBTQ+ community, others see the response as an overreach by law enforcement. The Pride mural, intended to symbolize unity and inclusivity, has become a focal point for these tensions. Antifa has free rein to vandalize and destroy public property, but if you leave a skid mark on one of those pride flags painted on the road then you go to jail pic.twitter.com/IehvGaNIjn — ElPolitico305 (@ElPolitico305) June 10, 2024 This incident follows a pattern of similar vandalism cases across the country. In another recent case in Delray Beach, Florida, a teenager faced felony charges for leaving tire burnout marks on a Pride intersection. The teen, Dylan Brewer, was charged with felony mischief and reckless driving, highlighting the legal risks associated with such acts of vandalism. The Spokane case has sparked a broader conversation about the use of public streets for social and political symbols. Critics argue that painting murals on roadways invites damage and controversy, while supporters believe these murals are essential for visibility and support of marginalized communities. The arrests come during Pride Month, a time of increased visibility and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights. The heightened emotions and political stakes surrounding these issues contribute to the contentious atmosphere in which these incidents occur. As the legal proceedings unfold, the case will likely continue to garner attention and debate over the appropriate balance between protecting public art and addressing acts of vandalism. The outcome may set a precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future. The post Washington Teens Face Felony Charges for Skid Marks on Pride Mural appeared first on The Conservative Brief.

A dancing dad who went viral for his hilariously embarrassing school pickup shenanigans has truly outdone himself. Jevin Smith, a professional dancer, has been putting his talent to good use by using it to mortify his kids when he picks them up from school. Over the years, he’s come up with dozens of unique and clever gags and shares videos of them on his Instagram page. However, one of his daughters graduated this year, which meant Jevin needed to find new and better ways to embarrass her. So when she went on a date recently, he surprised her and her beau by dancing through the door. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jevin Smith (@wealthy_jev) Jevin used his daughter’s location finder to track her at a ramen restaurant. While wearing a long curly wig and dressed full-on 80s, he grooved his way into the date while Rockwell’s Somebody’s Watching Me blared on a stereo carried by his wife.  The Customers Loved Jevin’s Dance Prank Making the biggest scene he could, Jevin yelled, “Hey, hey” and did the robot all the way to his daughter’s table. Then, he helped himself to her date’s bulgogi fries while his daughter rolled her eyes. The dad continued his dance prank by covering his head with a tee-shirt and asking, “Where did I go?” while continuing to break it down. His daughter’s date seemed to thoroughly enjoy the prank, and so did the other customers. Jevin’s daughter even warmed up to the prank and called him over to eat with them when he headed out the door. “I stayed and the food was really good,” he captioned over the video. Jevin Smith’s loyal fan base loved the recent dance prank, and they’re praising his good work in the comments. “Baby girl thought she was safe since she has graduated…NOT!!!! LOL” someone wrote. “Just taking fries off the boy’s plate,” another laughed. “I’m SCREAMING ,” a follower admitted. “What a blessing to have these memories.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
