Our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom recently released a heartbreaking video of Calista Wetzstein telling how Planned Parenthood gave her cross-sex hormones as part of gender reassignment.
In recent years, Planned Parenthood has become one of the nation’s largest supporters of transgender ideology and routinely dispenses cross-sex hormones as a result.
You can hear Calista tell her story in the video below.
Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Margot Kaczorowski recently appeared on Fox Business to discuss her ongoing lawsuit over the school’s decision to let transgender swimmer Lia Thomas compete in women’s swimming.
Thomas — a biological male who competed as a female — made headlines in 2022 after shattering women’s swimming records and winning the women’s 500-yard freestyle in NCAA Division I championship. He was even nominated for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.
In response, a group of female collegiate athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA arguing that letting Thomas compete in the 2022 national championship violated their federal rights under Title IX.
Stories like this are part of the reason many states — including Arkansas — have enacted laws that preserve fairness in women’s sports. In 2021 Arkansas passed Act 461 by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover) preventing male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school. This good law protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.
President Trump has taken executive action to protect fairness in women’s sports, but it’s important for colleges and the NCAA to be held accountable for the harm that their pro-transgender policies have caused to female athletes.

On Thursday a federal judge in Kentucky effectively scrapped the Biden Administration’s drastic reinterpretation of Title IX.
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education and in activities that receive federal funding — like school athletic programs.
But last year the Biden Administration released more than 1,500 pages of new rules drastically redefining “sex” under Title IX to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
Under these new rules, public schools could be forced to let biological males compete in women’s sports and use girls’ locker rooms, showers, and changing areas at school.
In response, people across America — including Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin — filed lawsuits to block the Biden Administration’s new rules.
President-elect Donald Trump indicated his administration would rescind these bad Title IX rules, but Thursday’s court decision effectively stops them from going into effect.
We have written time and again about how women’s athletics is at risk of being erased in America.
For example, female cyclists, swimmers, powerlifters, sprinters, volleyball players, and others have seen their sports radically changed by men who claim to be women.
Letting men compete in women’s sports is unfair. It reverses 50 years of advancements for women, and in some cases it can even be dangerous.
Fortunately, educators, policymakers, and athletic organizations are taking steps to protect women’s sports.
In 2021 Arkansas passed Act 461 by Sen. Missy Irvin (R — Mountain View) and Rep. Sonia Barker (R — Smackover) preventing male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school. This good law protects fairness in women’s sports in Arkansas.
Thursday’s court decision will help protect students and preserve fairness for athletes. That’s something to celebrate.
