Is anyone really surprised that the leftists who screamed the loudest complaining about conservatives calling them ‘groomers’ have a child porn problem? Thanks to Stacey Matthews, who has been writing as Sister Toldjah for twenty years now — she ‘outed’ herself from her anonymity when a stalker ferreted out her identification and was getting ready …
The Illustrious Marigold

My site reported, on October 28th, about the efforts of collegiate officials to stop female athletes from complaining about male members on their teams or having to compete against males who claim to be female on other teams.
