Trump in an address with Moms for Liberty lied implying that children under the Biden administration were undergoing sex change operations at schools without their parent's knowledge.

The nativist former president is aware he is losing badly in the polls and has resorted once again to telling outright lies hoping to enrage his base.

It is truly disgusting that Trump said this it is equally appalling that he told this lie at a meeting of the Moms of Liberty a group designated by the SPLC as right wing extremist anti-goverment for its words and deeds.

Transgender woman Qatrisha Zairyah has advanced to the top 15 finalists who are vying for the title of  Miss Singapore. Once achieving this, the winner goes on to represent Singapore at the Miss Universe Pageant.

Ms. Zairyah is endeavoring to be the first trans woman to represent Singapore at the Miss Universe Pageant and after that, Miss Universe!
Because she is transgender Qatrisha Zairyah has additional obstacles to overcome, some physical, but often the most hurtful are verbal and written.

Contestants from Singapore must meet the qualifications set by Miss Universe one of which is to be legally recognized as a woman in their country. In an interview with The Straights Times, Ms. Zairyah confirmed that she had met that criteria by undergoing gender confirmation surgery, a condition set by Singapore, and underwent humiliating visits to doctors to verify her womanhood, so she could participate.

Ms Qatrisha credits her confidence and poise to having taken part in other pageants for transgender women. The 1.8m-tall stunner even clinched the first runner-up spot at the biggest and most prominent one – Miss International Queen 2023 held in Pattaya, Thailand.

“It’s about time I can represent my community on the MUS stage,” she says. “MUS is a good opportunity for me to share about my life, my struggles, failures, fears, fighting discrimination, and how I’m achieving my dreams to become a successful trans woman.”
