A Grammy-award winning singer engaged in high-stakes virtue signaling to take on Donald Trump.
Folk artist Lucy Ducas announced on X that she’s willing to donate $10 grand in $500 increments to followers who link the GoFundMe accounts for transgender surgeries.
Dacus, who’s part of the all-female group “boygenius” also inadvertently spouted some truth in her post. “The government will never be the source of our validation or protection, we have to do it ourselves.”
While that statement on its own is arguably valid, the irony is lost on leftists like Dacus who are seemingly incensed over President Trump’s executive order “Defending women from gender ideology extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.”
if trans people wanna comment surgery gofundmes, I’m gonna give away 10k in $500 increments until it’s gone, & if other people wanna scroll through and make donations, please do
the government will never be the source of our validation or protection, we have to do it ourselves

Dacus was flooded with GoFundMe requests, but also received backlash with plenty of people thinking her donations would be better used elsewhere:
Ever heard of you before this. I guess this is one way to get publicity. Not gonna help your career, but hey, go with it. If you really want to help with your money. Millions of helpless dogs and cats are abandoned or living in the streets and the no kill shelters can use…

If only you’d donate that money towards a visit to a mental health professional rather than someone who inject them with irreversible drugs or even mutilate their bodies.

Bravo!
I think you people are finally getting it.
Do whatever the hell you want, just don’t expect the American public to pay for it or affirm your mental illness. Simple as that.— Mattox Mcmurdo (@MattoxMcmurdo) January 24, 2025
Yes!
And when they come to their senses and decide to de-transition … WILL you be there for them then ? You have NO clue what this is doing to people who are confused and disturbed.

Excellent question.
Dacus came out as queer in 2016 and is not new to the LGTBQ activism, Fox News reported. During a 2023 band tour, she led a ‘F**k Ron DeSantis” chant and also performed in drag in Nashville to protest Tennessee’s proposed law restricting drag shows for minors.
That law was struck down in 2023, but Dacus now has a much bigger battle to fight with President Trump’s sweeping new mandate.
“A truly spectacular exec order from Trump on the gender nonsense,” Megyn Kelly wrote on X shortly after President Trump took office on January 20th. “My [question] is: who is the brilliant aide that drafted this for him? It’s perfect. It’s just so, so good,” she continued and posted another user’s breakdown of the order:
I just posted the entire executive order. This will be the TL:Dr version. But it is so good and there is so much that you cannot miss that it will be long too. You must read!
I swear I was tearing up reading this. It’s been so long since anyone spoke the truth. Here we go: pic.twitter.com/RRooTwFdxT

A further summary of the bill that appears to leave no stone unturned can be viewed below:
Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being.
The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system.…

Invalidating the true and biological category of “woman” improperly transforms laws and policies designed to protect sex-based opportunities into laws and policies that undermine them, replacing longstanding, cherished legal rights and values with an identity-based, inchoate…

…
a) “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

The gender is nonsense section:
f) “Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all…

…
g) Federal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology. Each agency shall assess grant conditions and grantee preferences and ensure grant funds do not promote gender ideology.
(You can’t use federal money to promote that stuff any more!!!)

If you want to read the entire executive order, I posted it earlier. These are the key things you could not miss.
