The grossly obese Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill) used Transgender Awareness Week—November 12 to 19—to announce his intention "to make Illinois the 'go to' location for folks seeking a sex change. This will complement our state's unlimited abortion guarantee that anyone can come here and get a publicly-funded abortion, no questions asked. Other Democrats may try to imitate me, but I'm setting the pace. Voters will see this and choose me as the Party's 2028 nominee for president."

Former Biden White House press secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki declared that "state laws seeking to bar men who identify as women from participating in women's sports, entering women's locker rooms, and using women's restrooms are discriminatory. The claim that such laws are needed for safety or fairness is unsubstantiated. I think all Democrats should double down on this issue if they want to remain competitive with Gov. Pritzker for the 2028 election cycle. I think protecting the rights of transgenders to go wherever they want and do whatever they like will be a winning issue for Democrats going forward."

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) proclaimed November 20 to be Transgender Day of Remembrance Day. To commemorate the lives tragically lost to bigotry and violence against trans people, we reaffirm our commitment to fight for the safety, equality and inclusion of our LGBTQ community. In partnership with the LGBTQ Caucus, our state has advanced nation-leading action to protect and support our LGBTQ community and celebrate their right to live their lives out loud." Early polls show Newsom to be among the leaders in the race to be the Democrat nominee for president in the 2028 election.

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Mary Margaret McKeown questioned the Olympus Spa's "female only" policy saying that to her "it suspiciously resembles a 'whites only' policy. The fact that they allow transgenders who have gone through post-operative sex confirmation surgery doesn't get them off the hook. The crucial fact is that a person with a penis can still identify as a woman yet be unfairly barred from a women-only spa. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wisely admitted that she couldn't define what a woman is because she is not a biologist. Well, neither are the owners of the Olympus Spa. So their attempts to ban intact biological men who self-identify as women appears to be unconstitutional discrimination."

Another Pritzker to adorn this thread....

One reads: "Joining the US Army at the age of 23, James Pritzker served it for over 25 years and then retired as a Lieutenant. Today, James is a 73-year-old billionaire, but with a slight tweak in the profile-- now Jennifer Pritzker, she is the world's richest transgender person." (Times of India source)
