Karmelo Anthony — the Texas teen charged with murdering high school star athlete Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet April 2 — and his family reportedly moved into a $900,000 home in a gated community after Anthony’s $1 million bond was cut to $250,000 Monday, and he walked free from from jail later that same day, the Daily Mail reported.

The outlet added that Anthony, 17, and his family are renting a Frisco home in a development known as “Richwoods” for an estimated $3,500 per month, according to Zillow, and that no one answered the door for a request for comment.

‘He got a new car.’

However, the Daily Mail said that when visiting the home Tuesday, a white Suburban, a black Acura, and a third sedan were seen parked in the driveway.

One resident who asked the outlet for anonymity said the Anthony family just purchased a new vehicle: “He got a new car. If you look at the license plate, it’s got a paper tag, and it says it expires June 4.”

The Daily Mail reported that “the lavish lifestyle is in stark contract to the cash struggles Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, claimed to have in court Monday, where the parent claimed he was the sole breadwinner.”

At Monday’s bond hearing, Karmelo Anthony’s new attorney Mike Howard said the Anthony family “needs to be able to survive. There’s been a tremendous amount of pressure. I think at this point, living in a gated community, given everything, the safety of their younger children is very warranted. Security details and criminal defense are not cheap,” KDFW-TV reported.

WFAA-TV reported that Anthony’s father at the hearing also said his family doesn’t yet have access to the money raised through GiveSendGo — which is closing in on $450,000 as of Wednesday afternoon. The father also said the cost of moving to a new home and providing for his wife and four children prevented the family from being able to pay Karmelo Anthony’s original $1 million bond, WFAA added.

‘Not good. Not good. I don’t think he should be out.’

A number of the Anthony family’s new neighbors didn’t know they had moved into their new digs until Anthony was released from jail Monday, the Daily Mail reported.

To say they weren’t thrilled with the Anthony family’s new living situation is an understatement.

“Not good. Not good. I don’t think he should be out. I don’t understand why he had a knife? My kids were in track. Your tents, for your school — you don’t sit under another school’s tent. That is not done because everyone leaves their stuff there while they’re out on events,” one mother told the Daily Mail. “Why would you stab someone? And now he’s a few doors down. It’s very scary. Like could he rob houses? I don’t know.”

The terms of Anthony’s house arrest include that he must wear an ankle monitor, must speak to the bailiff every Friday morning, and isn’t allowed on social media.

Another concerned neighbor told the Daily Mail that “the whole reason we live here is because it’s gated” and that “this is supposed to be a good neighborhood. These are high-end houses. Not everyone can move in here. I don’t even know what to say. This is supposed to be safe.”

The same neighbor also wondered to the outlet why the Anthony family asked for donations while maintaining a lifestyle already akin to others in “Richwoods.”

One neighbor added to the Daily Mail in reference to the Anthony family: “The best thing they can do is move. I think that would be best for everyone.”

In contrast, Karmelo Anthony’s defenders have been going viral on social media, with one of them actually declaring that Metcalf “got exactly what he deserved — point blank, period.”

What’s the background?

Frisco police told KXAS-TV they were called to Kuykendall Stadium around 10 a.m. April 2 after a 17-year-old stabbed a 17-year-old during a confrontation, which ultimately proved fatal. Police added to the station they arrested Karmelo Anthony and charged him with Metcalf’s murder.

‘What kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught?’

The victim’s father, Jeff Metcalf, told KXAS his son didn’t know the student who attacked him and that Austin’s identical twin brother, Hunter, not only saw the stabbing but also tried to stop the bleeding. You can view KXAS’ video report here.

“I tried to whip around as fast as I could,” a teary-eyed Hunter told WFAA. “I looked at my brother, and I’m not going to talk about the rest. I tried to help him.” You can view WFAA’s video report here.

Hunter told WFAA he held his brother until first responders started attempting resuscitation.

Jeff Metcalf added to KXAS that Hunter “was holding on to [Austin], trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms. I rushed up there, and I saw him on the gurney, and I could tell — they said he wasn’t breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital. And we prayed, and it’s God’s plan, I don’t understand it, but they weren’t able to save him. This is murder.”

Jeff Metcalf also told KXAS that the suspect got angry after being told he was in the wrong place and being asked to move: “I’m not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught? He brought a knife to a track meet, and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart. The guy was in the wrong place, and they asked him to move, and he bowed up. This is murder.”

However, Karmelo Anthony’s father contended in an interview with the New York Post that “everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be.” Anthony’s father added to the paper that his son is “a good kid. He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA.”

The suspect’s father also told the Post, “I feel bad for the other parents and family, and words can’t explain how both [families] have been affected by this tragedy.”

After the stabbing, the arresting officer said Karmelo Anthony reportedly told him, “I was protecting myself,” before the officer questioned him about the incident, WFAA-TV reported, citing the arrest affidavit.

Anthony also reportedly told the officer that Metcalf “put his hands on [him],” the station said, citing the affidavit, after which Anthony was handcuffed.

The arresting officer soon told a fellow officer arriving on the scene that he had the alleged suspect — and Anthony reportedly interjected, “I’m not alleged; I did it,” WFAA reported.

A witness reportedly noted to police that Metcalf — who competed for Memorial High School — told Anthony he had to move from under his team’s tent, the station said, citing the affidavit. With that Anthony opened his bag and reached inside, the witness told police, WFAA said.

“Touch me and see what happens,” Anthony told Metcalf, the station added, citing a witness.

Metcalf reportedly touched Anthony, the witness told an officer, and Anthony told Metcalf to punch him and see what would happen, WFAA reported.

Metcalf then reportedly grabbed Anthony, after which Anthony reportedly pulled out what the witness recalled as a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away, the witness said, the station reported, citing the affidavit.

Metcalf reportedly grabbed his chest and told others to get help, the witness told police, according to WFAA.

While Anthony was in the back seat of a police vehicle, an officer saw fresh blood on his left middle finger, the station said, citing the affidavit.

WFAA, citing the document, said Anthony while he was in the back seat of the vehicle also reportedly asked the officer if Metcalf was going to be OK. While being escorted to the squad car, Anthony asked an officer if his actions could be considered self-defense.

A Wisconsin teenager — who apparently had his sights set on assassinating President Donald Trump — has allegedly killed his mother and stepfather as a part of his plot.

The teen, Nikita Casap, 17, faces nine felony charges, including two counts of murder and two counts of hiding a corpse. Federal investigators are pursuing an additional three charges: presidential assassination, conspiracy, and use of weapons of mass destruction.

An affidavit from federal authorities claims that Casap was in touch with “other parties” regarding his plan to kill the president and overthrow the government — which he appeared to have planned to accomplish via the drone and explosives he bought.

“Understand that this is another assassination plot against the president,” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” comments, disturbed. “Thank God it was thwarted. Thank God this evil individual or this individual who had embraced evil was unable to successfully kill the president.”

“But also, understand the reality of what we’re facing. What happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 last year, and then what happened again on Donald Trump’s golf course, were not isolated attempts on Trump’s life. This is an ongoing effort to murder the president of the United States,” she continues.

A sweep of his background reveals that the teen had been indoctrinated with far-left-wing ideology.

“Surprise, surprise,” Wheeler says. “He was an anarchist. He wanted to overthrow the government of the United States.”

Casap was also reportedly in touch with people from Russia and neo-Nazi groups.

“This young man who murdered his parents in order to steal their money to fund his attempt to assassinate President Trump, this is not just some crazy kid. This is what happens when you spend decades telling these young men, ‘You’re evil because you’re white. You’re evil because you’re a man. President Trump is a Nazi,’” Wheeler says.

“This is not a coincidence,” she adds.

A federal judge granted the Associated Press an injunction on April 8, preventing the Trump administration from excluding the liberal publication from press events at the White House.

The ruling, which an attorney for the government suggested “constitutes an unprecedented intrusion into Executive authority,” was celebrated by the liberal publication and others antagonistic of the Trump White House.

The AP and its allies were premature in their celebration.

The White House apparently found a way to minimize its encounters with the AP without running afoul of the injunction.

Days after appealing the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the White House changed its policy for the press pool, abolishing the news wire service seat and replacing it with a second print reporter seat.

Previously, the AP shared a guaranteed rotating spot with Reuters and Bloomberg. The three outfits have now been dropped into a much larger group of print media organizations eligible for inclusion in the pool.

The New York Post, which was first to report the changes, indicated that the reassignment of the three wires expands the White House print rotation from 31 to 34 spots and “dramatically” decreases opportunities for each wire service.

‘The Court does not order the Government to grant the AP permanent access to the Oval Office, the East Room, or any other media event.’

The White House’s new policy eliminating the wire spot states that:

“outlets will be eligible for participation in the Pool, irrespective of the substantive viewpoint expressed by an outlet”;
“eligible outlets will be chosen for the White House Press Pool on a rotating basis”;
“wire-based outlets will be eligible for selection as part of the Pool’s daily print-journalist rotation”;
“the White House Press Secretary shall retain day-to-day discretion to determine composition of the pool”; and
“the President retains absolute discretion over access to the Oval Office, Air Force One, and other comparable sensitive spaces.”

“The makeup of the pool is far more reflective of the media habits of the American people in 2025,” a senior White House official told the New York Post. “The White House press policy continues to be grounded in fairness for all outlets that wish to cover the White House.”

U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden noted in his ruling last week that the AP must be put “on an equal playing field as similarly situated outlets, despite the AP’s use of disfavored terminology.”

“The Court does not order the Government to grant the AP permanent access to the Oval Office, the East Room, or any other media event,” continued McFadden. “It does not bestow special treatment upon the AP. Indeed, the AP is not necessarily entitled to the ‘first in line every time’ permanent press pool access it enjoyed under the [White House Correspondents’ Association]. But it cannot be treated worse than its peer wire services.”

The new policy appears to satisfy McFadden’s requirement since it deprives all of the wire services of their coveted spot.

Lauren Easton, a spokeswoman for the AP, said in a statement, “The administration’s actions continue to disregard the fundamental American freedom to speak without government control or retaliation.”

“For decades, the daily presence of the wire services in the press pool has ensured that investors and voters across the United States and around the world can rely on accurate real-time reporting on what the president says and does,” said Bloomberg editor in chief John Micklethwait, who was similarly upset over the apparent checkmate. “We deeply regret the decision to remove that permanent level of scrutiny and accountability.”

WHCA president Eugene Daniels of MSNBC bemoaned the shake-up in a statement Tuesday night, suggesting the three liberal publications were somehow owed their traditional spots.

“The changes to the press pool today show that the White House is just using a new means to do the same thing: retaliate against news organizations for coverage the White House doesn’t like,” said Daniels. “The Associated Press, Bloomberg News and Reuters play an integral role in coverage of the presidency and should be allowed their traditional spots in the pool.”

The AP filed a court motion Wednesday claiming the White House’s press pool shake-up was a violation of McFadden’s injunction. The liberal publication asked the judge to enforce his preliminary injunction.

The court has ordered the parties to appear for a hearing on April 18.

An American who had been a hostage of Iran called out the hypocrisy of Democrat Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey for hopping into action for a migrant from El Salvador after previously ignoring the man’s captivity.

Booker excoriated the Trump administration over the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an accused MS-13 gang member who was deported to an infamous terrorist prison in El Salvador. Xiyue Wang claims that Booker did nothing for him while he was held hostage in Iran.

‘Booker never advocated for my release & refused to speak to my wife.’

“The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia,” wrote Booker on social media. “The story of his detainment is horrifying, all of us must share his story and demand his quick and safe return. An assault on the due process rights of anyone is a threat to the due process rights of everyone.”

The unanimous ruling from the court said that Garcia must be brought back to the U.S., but the Trump administration has claimed that his return is out of its power, while the El Salvadoran president also rejected the idea when questioned by reporters.

Politico reported Tuesday that Booker was organizing a delegation of Democrats to go to El Salvador to try to help Garcia.

Wang responded to the report in a post on social media Tuesday.

“I was an NJ resident, Sen. @CoryBooker’s constituent, when I was jailed in Iran as an American hostage,” he wrote. “Sen. Booker never advocated for my release & refused to speak to my wife. Sen. Booker is a hypocrite.”

When he was confronted with some of the efforts Booker did undertake on his behalf, Wang admitted his error but persisted in his opinion that Booker did not do enough to free him.

“As Sen. Booker’s constituent, I expected him to do more,” he responded. “There are other members in Congress across the aisle, who weren’t my reps and did more, like [Rep.] Chris Smith (D-N.J.) & [Rep. Pramila] Jayapal (D-Wash.).”

“Sen. Booker does not appear to be consistent in advocating for unjustly detained Americans abroad, he seems to take a special interest in this specific case because President Trump deported the person in question,” Wang added.

Critics of the Trump administration argue that the evidence of Garcia’s gang membership was dubious because the man had never been criminally charged after entering the U.S. The claim that he was a gang member was made by a confidential informant and also on the basis that Garcia was wearing a Chicago Bulls hoodie and hat.

Attorneys for the Trump administration also admitted in court that he was deported based on a “clerical error.”

Wang, a Chinese-American graduate student at Princeton University, had been convicted of spying by the Iranian government without evidence and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2017. The Trump administration was able to secure his release in 2019 as part of a prisoner swap.

Princeton had defended Wang’s actions and said he was innocent of the charges issued by the hostile Iranian government.

“He was not involved in any political activities or social activism,” the university said in a statement, “he was simply a scholar trying to gain access to materials he needed for his dissertation.”

Newly released dashcam video shows the moment of a crazy hit-and-run accident involving multiple vehicles in Southern California last week that led to a bizarre chain of events culminating in the arrest of the wife of rock band Weezer’s bassist.

As Blaze News previously reported, 51-year-old best-selling author Jillian Lauren Shriner was arrested last Tuesday and charged with attempted murder of a peace officer.

‘It’s crazy how just one man can cause so much chaos.’

Shriner exited her home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles at the same time police swarmed the area to search for three suspects involved in a hit-and-run incident. Police say Shriner was armed with a handgun.

“The officers ordered Shriner to drop the handgun multiple times; however, she refused,” according to the police report obtained by KNBC-TV. “Shriner then pointed the handgun at the officers, and an officer-involved shooting occurred.”

Citing Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Jennifer Forkish, the Los Angeles Times reported that Shriner “pointed her gun at officers” and “opened fire.”

Cops allegedly returned fire and shot Shriner in the shoulder, and then she fled into her home.

Shriner then purportedly exited her house and surrendered to the police. She was transported to a hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Police reportedly recovered a 9mm handgun from Shriner’s home.

Shriner — the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner — was taken into custody but released after posting a $1 million bond.

Police officers reportedly apprehended the alleged hit-and-run driver in a neighboring back yard. Video seemingly shows the suspect attempting to blend into the neighborhood by watering a garden and wearing only his boxers.

The man was arrested and charged with one count of misdemeanor hit-and-run. He allegedly got into a car crash with two other vehicles on a nearby freeway.

KABC-TV released wild dashcam video of the crash, as well as the suspect fleeing the crime scene with clothes and a guitar.

Video shows a gray sedan swerving across multiple lanes, slamming into a black car, and then a Tesla crashing into the other vehicles from the rear.

David Gonzalez was driving his brand-new Telsa when he was involved in the three-car collision.

“I thought I was in an episode of ‘GTA,'” Gonzalez said of the crash, referring to the Grand Theft Auto video game. “Honestly, that stuff just doesn’t happen.”

Gonzalez suffered an injured back and broken arm in the crash and will require surgery.

His Tesla, which he purchased just two weeks ago, was totaled.

Gonzalez said of the events following the car crash, “Ripple effect. At the moment, I had no clue what happened after, but it’s crazy how just one man can cause so much chaos.”

Shriner is scheduled to return to court on April 30.

A federal judge sided with a school district that banned a protest against transgender athletes that involved pink wristbands with “XX” written on them, referring to female chromosomes.

Parents of female student athletes at Bow High School in New Hampshire filed a lawsuit against the Bow School District after they were banned from school property and all sports events over the protest.

‘The judge openly admitted that Pride flags are allowed because they promote “inclusion,” but wristbands defending women’s sports are banned because they might “offend” someone.’

On Monday, United States District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe said that the school was within its rights to ban the parents because the school had an obligation to protect any student from harassment or intimidation.

“The question then becomes whether the school district can manage its athletic events and its athletic fields and facilities,” said Judge McAuliffe, “in a manner that protects its students from adult speech that can reasonably be seen to target a specific student participating in the event (as well as other similar gender-identifying students) by invited adult spectators, when that speech demeans, harasses, intimidates, and bullies.”

“The answer is straightforward: Of course it can. Indeed, school authorities are obligated to do so,” McAuliffe wrote in the ruling denying a preliminary injunction.

The parents had worn the wristbands in a silent protest against the school allowing a transgender student to play in the girls’ soccer game. Officials stopped the game and had police issue “no trespass” orders against the parents.

Anthony Foote, one of the parents involved, told the New Hampshire Journal that they would continue fighting the issue in court.

“What was our offense? Supporting girls’ sports and defending biological reality?” Foote asked. “This ruling is a slap in the face to every parent who believes schools should be a place of fairness, not political indoctrination. The judge openly admitted that Pride flags are allowed because they promote ‘inclusion,’ but wristbands defending women’s sports are banned because they might ‘offend’ someone. That’s viewpoint discrimination, plain and simple — and it’s unconstitutional.”

The parents are represented by the legal nonprofit Institute for Free Speech, whose senior attorney Del Kolde released a statement about the ruling.

“We strongly disagree with the court’s opinion issued today denying our request for a preliminary injunction. This was adult speech in a limited public forum, which enjoys greater First Amendment protection than student speech in the classroom,” Kolde said.

“Bow School District officials were obviously discriminating based on viewpoint because they perceived the XX wristbands to be ‘trans-exclusionary.’ We are still evaluating our options for next steps,” he added.

McAuliffe has not yet ruled on the request for a permanent injunction.

The El Salvadoran national accused of being a member of MS-13 and was deported back to the Central American country has been showered with support from Democrats for being a “wrongly deported Maryland man.” New information about what he allegedly did while in the United States appears to bolster the reasons for his deportation.

While Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s family denies he is a gang member, court documents show his wife had previously asked for a protective order against him for alleged domestic violence.

‘Van Hollen said he promised Vasquez he will do everything he can to bring Abrego Garcia home.’

As first reported by independent journalist Andy Ngo and then confirmed by Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, Jennifer Vasquez petitioned a Maryland court for a domestic violence protective order against Abrego Garcia in 2021. Vasquez also filed and received a protective order in 2020. The public court documents do not provide details of the alleged domestic violence.

The protective orders are in stark contrast to what Vasquez now says about Abrego Garcia. In a GoFundMe for the family, Vasquez says, “Kilmar is an excellent father. He has always been there for our three children and all of their needs. … Kilmar has been the main provider of our household and the love of my life for over seven years. Since our family has been separated, I have been devastated and confused.”

Vasquez added Abrego Garcia’s deportation has been an “unjust family separation.”

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday to advocate for the government to allow Abrego Garcia to be released back to the United States. In a video posted on X, Van Hollen said he promised Vasquez he will do everything he can to bring Abrego Garcia “home.” Van Hollen also expressed hope he would be able to meet with high-level government officials, indicating El Salvador’s government has not agreed to talk with him so far.

— (@)

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele told reporters during his visit to the White House this week that Abrego Garcia will not be turned over to the United States. The Trump administration has also said if he ever is returned, he will simply be put back into federal custody because he does not have a legal basis to remain in the United States.

President Donald Trump’s Department of State is reportedly weighing closing nearly 30 embassies and consulates as part of its plan to massively reduce the agency’s budget.

State Department memos obtained by the New York Post and several other outlets revealed that the agency outlined a strategy to slash its spending by $26 billion in the upcoming fiscal year. The latest draft budget proposal suggested cutting the agency’s funds by nearly half compared to the previous fiscal year.

‘The president has made it clear that he is committed to cutting the federal deficit and improving the return on investment for the American people.’

The agency would endeavor to achieve these savings by reducing diplomatic engagement work by $4.5 billion and terminating $21.5 billion in foreign assistance, the Post reported. The document weighed slashing funding to the United Nations and NATO.

Additionally, the memo floated closing at least 17 consulates and 10 embassies, including posts in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, South Korea, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Malta, Maldives, Grenada, Luxembourg, Lesotho, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and South Sudan.

One center in Iraq was listed for potential closure, and two others may see expenditures “drastically” reduced.

The proposed downsizing also considered consolidating outposts in countries with multiple consulates, such as Japan and Canada.

A State Department spokesperson told the Post, “The president has made it clear that he is committed to cutting the federal deficit and improving the return on investment for the American people.”

“As the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has said, the administration’s funding decisions will be reflected in the President’s Budget Request that will be provided to Congress soon,” the spokesperson said.

The closures have not yet been announced, “and operations continue as normal,” the representative added.

Tammy Bruce, a spokesperson for the department, suggested to CNN that reporting regarding the State Department memos was inaccurate.

“I would suggest that you check with the White House and the president of the U.S. as they continue to work on their budget plan and what they submit to Congress,” Bruce told the news outlet. “The kinds of numbers and what we tend to see is reporting that is early or wrong, based on leaked documents from somewhere unknown.”

During a Tuesday briefing, Bruce noted that there was “no final plan” on the yearly budget and any cost-cutting decisions would be “up to the White House.”

“I can tell you that whatever you’ve seen in public was not released from this entity, was not released from this department. It was not released by the secretary,” she said.

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) has been in the headlines for her wild antics quite a bit in the not-so-distant past, but this time the reason appears to be a little more serious.

Crockett is officially under investigation by the Federal Election Commission for money laundering through the Democrat donation site ActBlue and alleged voter intimidation, after conservative advocacy group the Coolidge Reagan Foundation filed a complaint against her.

A donor was reported to have given 53 separate donations to her campaign that totaled $595 and were made through the ActBlue donations portal. The donations were tied to a 73-year-old Texas resident named Randy Best, but Best’s wife claims to have no knowledge of the donations.

“Now, we have an official FEC investigation into Jasmine Crockett’s campaign, which this says that it was $870,000 dollars of ActBlue donations and that it’s unclear how many of these are similarly fraudulent transactions made in the name of unsuspecting, innocent people, who did not actually provide the funds,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” explains.

“It’s almost like ActBlue has been acting as this giant money-laundering operation for the Democrats,” she continues, adding, “That kind of talk is why I’m demonetized from YouTube.”

Eric July agrees that it’s likely a much bigger problem than just Crockett.

“I mean, you can just look at Congress in general. I mean, I feel like we talk about it every week, how it comes under question how so many of these people get rich despite the salaries that they have. And it’s not like they’re somehow becoming business gurus just by getting some congressional insight,” July tells Gonzales.

“I’m already under the impression that most of them are a bunch of crooks,” he continues. “I mean, they’re swindling the American people regardless, but I believe that a lot of them are also enriching themselves and just using the political system as it is to do it.”

Britain’s Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that the legal definition of “woman” excludes male transvestites.

Conservatives and feminists such as J.K. Rowling celebrated the court’s affirmation of reality. Meanwhile, gender ideologues and LGBT activists who recently suffered other monumental defeats in the isles — namely Britain’s ban of puberty blockers and the landmark Cass Review’s confirmation that so-called gender science is bunk — melted down, characterizing the ruling as potentially harmful.

The court was tasked with sorting out the “correct interpretation” of the 2010 Equality Act, specifically the terms “woman” and “sex.” The act provides protection against discrimination on the basis of various immutable characteristics.

The case found its way to the U.K.’s highest court on account of a legal dispute between the feminist organization For Women Scotland and the leftist Scottish government.

The feminist organization For Women Scotland kicked things off in 2018 by challenging Scottish legislation that would include male transvestites in quotas for women. The Scottish government maintained that men who secured gender recognition certificates identifying them as female were women where the law was concerned, reported the BBC. The case snowballed from there.

“This examination of the language of the EA 2010, its context and purpose, demonstrate that the words ‘sex,’ ‘woman’ and ‘man’ in sections 11 and 212(1) mean (and were always intended to mean) biological sex, biological woman and biological man,” the court noted in its 88-page ruling.

‘Women are women and men are men: you cannot change your biological sex.’

“Interpreting ‘sex’ as certificated sex would cut across the definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ and thus the protected characteristic of sex in an incoherent way. It would create heterogeneous groupings,” stated the court. “As a matter of ordinary language, the provisions relating to sex discrimination, and especially those relating to pregnancy and maternity, and to protection from risks specifically affecting women, can only be interpreted as referring to biological sex.

Just in case there was any remaining doubt, the court clarified that a female posing as a man and carrying a GRC is a woman where the law is concerned and a male posing as a woman and carrying a GRC is a man.

The court evidently did not buy the suggestion that admitting that men are not women under the law would cause disadvantage to transvestites, noting they were still protected from discrimination under the Equality Act.

Judge Patrick Hodge, deputy president of the U.K. Supreme Court, stated that the ruling should not be read as “a triumph for one or more groups in our society at the expense of another.”

Contrary to Hodge’s suggestion, the ruling amounted to a major victory for those Britons keen on keeping opportunistic men out of women’s spaces. After all, the court ruled that male transvestites with GRCs can be excluded from single-sex spaces such as women’s bathrooms, changing rooms, and hostels.

“If sex means biological sex, then provided it is proportionate, the female-only nature of the service would … permit the exclusion of all males including males living in the female gender regardless of GRC status,” said the court. “Moreover, women living in the male gender could also be excluded under paragraph 28 without this amounting to gender reassignment discrimination.”

“Absolutely jubilant here, tears!” For Women Scotland tweeted upon learning of the ruling.

Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch noted, “Saying ‘trans women are women’ was never true in fact and now isn’t true in law, either.”

Badenoch characterized the ruling as a “victory for all of the women who faced personal abuse or lost their jobs for stating the obvious. Women are women and men are men: you cannot change your biological sex.”

J.K. Rowling noted, “It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK.”

The three women Rowling referred to are Trina Budge, Marion Calder, and Susan Smith, the directors of For Women Scotland.

The leftist Scottish government vowed to remain an inclusive country after its defeat Wednesday, reported the Telegraph.

A spokesman for the government said, “We want to reassure everyone that the Scottish government is fully committed to protecting everyone’s rights, to ensure that Scotland remains an inclusive country.”

“This judgment further reinforces that the Equality Act does not, and never has, allowed for the self-identification of sex under the Act,” the Edinburgh-based policy analysis group Murray Blackburn MacKenzie noted in a statement.

“Nonetheless, policies based on self-identification remain in place across the U.K., in hospitals, police forces, schools, and prisons. The U.K. and devolved governments, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission, need to take responsibility for their role in this, take urgent steps to clear up the confusion, and ensure the ruling has effect on the ground,” added the policy group.
