The Mr. Hands video is not the video that lead to Kenneth Pinyan's death. The video that circulated online is orignally called "Deep Thursts", but later called Mr. Hands or 2guys1horse, and it features Kenneth Pinyan and a horse called Super Stud the Wonder Horse. When you watch the video, after the horse cock cracks open his butthole and starts digging in, you can hear the other guy say "You like it?" three times.
Bonhoeffer, or Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin., is a 2024 Belgium-Irish
On April 4, 1945, the dairies of Wilhelm Canaris, former Chief of the Abwehr and key resistance member, were discovered by SS officials. Abwehr was the former German military-intelligence service for the Wehrmacht and the SS, the full name being the Schutzstaffel, or Protection Squadron, was the major paramilitary organization for Nazi Germany. These diaries provided evidence of Bonhoeffer's broader resistance activities and his connection to the Abwehr, which had become a hub for anti-Nazi conspirators under Canaris. After the discovery of the dairies, Adolf Hitler ordered the executions of all those implicated in it. On April 8, 1945, Bonhoeffer, Canaris, Hans Oster, former Deputy head of the Abwehr and key resistance member, Ludwig Gehre, former Abwehr officer involved in resistance activities, Karl Sack, former military judge and resistance supporter, and Theodor Strünck, former Abwehr officer connected to the resistance, were all sentenced to death at Flossenbürg concentration camp in a drumhead court-martial overseen by SS judge Otto Thorbeck and prosecutor Walter Huppenkothen. The trial had no witnesses, no evidence against them and no records of the proceedings or a defense.

On July 26, 2017, Donald Trump tweeted that the United States military would not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve and cited medical costs and disruption for the reasoning behind the decision. As this was not an announcement of an executive order or presidential memorandum, this had no legal effect. On August 25, 2017, he signed the Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security into law. On March 23, 2018, he signed the Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security Regarding Military Service by Transgender Individuals into law.
The following state bathroom bills have or had exceptions for transgender people who medically transitioned and updated their legal documents to use facilities matching their gender identity: Kansas, North Carolina, North Dakota, Utah. The following state bathroom bills have or had no enforcement mechanisms or penalties: Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee.
The 2016 Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act mandated that individuals use restrooms in public buildings corresponding to their biological sex. The law did not outline enforcement procedures or penalties, resulting in confusion among law enforcement agencies regarding its implementation. On November 27, 2024, Governor Mike DeWine signed the "Protect All Students Act", mandating that public and private school students use multi-person bathrooms corresponding to their sex assigned at birth. The law does not specify enforcement mechanisms or penalties for violations, leading to uncertainty about its practical application.
On July 13, 2017, House Amendment 183, an amendment which prohibits the United States Department of Defense from covering funding for medical treatments related to gender transition, except for mental health care, for individuals eligible for medical benefits under Chapter 55 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code., failed a House vote. Supporters of House Amendment 183 considered a procedural maneuver to include the proposal in a Pentagon spending bill without another direct vote. The strategy involved adding it through a rules package, bypassing a potentially contentious debate on the House floor. However, Speaker Paul Ryan and his leadership team, under pressure from moderate Republicans in the Tuesday Group, decided against the move, fearing it would appear hypocritical and undermine regular legislative processes.
With their legislative path blocked, some lawmakers turned to the White House for intervention. Conservatives lobbied the administration to quickly address the issue, urging them to prevent military funds from being used for transgender healthcare. Their plea resonated with key figures in the White House, including chief strategist Steve Bannon, who encouraged President Trump to act swiftly. On July 26, 2017, Trump announced on Twitter that transgender people would not be allowed to serve in the military "in any capacity", saying American forces could not afford the "tremendous medical costs and disruption" of transgender service members. The tweet had no legal effect as it does not constitute formal legal or policy action. It only a statement of intent to ban transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military. Trump's unexpected decision to announce a complete ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, catching some Republicans off guard. Many had only anticipated a narrower policy targeting healthcare costs and were surprised by the broader scope of the ban, leading to regrets among some lawmakers.
On August 25, 2017, Trump signed the Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, which would prohibit open military service of transgender individuals, until there is adequate evidence to support the conclusion that ending this policy and practice will "not hinder military effectiveness and lethality, disrupt unit cohesion, or tax military resources".
, and there remain meaningful concerns that further study is needed to ensure that continued implementation of last year's policy change would not have those negative effects.
On January 1, 2018, transgender individuals were allowed to join the U.S. military for the first time under a court order.
They didn’t realize Trump was going to ban transgender people from serving in the military altogether.
But an internal House Republican fight over transgender troops was threatening to blow up the bill. And House GOP insiders feared they might not have the votes to pass the legislation because defense hawks wanted a ban on Pentagon-funded sex reassignment operations — something GOP leaders wouldn’t give them.
They turned to Trump, who didn’t hesitate. In the flash of a tweet, he announced that transgender troops would be banned altogether.
On April 12, 2019, Directive-type Memorandum-19-004 took effect. The memorandum effectively prohibited, excluding openly transgender individuals who were enlisted prior to April 12, 2019, most transgender individuals from enlisting or serving openly in the U.S. military, unless they had not undergone gender transition and were willing to serve in their birth-assigned sex. It included a clause granting waivers to a transgender individuals which permits them serve in their preferred gender.[1][2]
According to GLAAD's Trump Accountability Tracker, the first presidency of Donald Trump executed 192 "executive orders, legislative support, speeches and nominations that affect LGBTQ people and rights."

These actions encompassed areas such as healthcare, military service, education, and housing, significantly impacting the rights and protections of LGBTQ individuals during that period.
On April 21, 2016, Donald Trump participated in a live town hall on NBC's TODAY Show, engaging with voters and addressing various topics. During this event, he discussed his views on North Carolina's "bathroom bill," expressing that such decisions should be left to states and local communities rather than the federal government. This appearance provided insight into his policy positions during the 2016 presidential campaign.[20]
In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News on April 21, 2016, Donald Trump discussed North Carolina’s controversial “bathroom bill,” stating that while he understood the state’s perspective, he believed decisions about transgender bathroom access should be left to local communities and states rather than the federal government. Trump’s position emphasized federal non-involvement, likening it to his stance on other issues he feels should be state-governed, like education.[21]
On July 5, 2016, interview with The News & Observer before a rally in Raleigh, Trump expressed support for North Carolina’s stance on its controversial LGBT law, House Bill 2 (HB2). He remarked, “The state, they know what’s going on, they see what’s happening, and generally speaking I’m with the state on things like this.” He added that he had discussed the issue with North Carolina’s governor and other officials, reaffirming his support for the state's authority in the matter.[22]
On February 22, 2017, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education rescinded Dear Colleague Letter on Transgender Student, the Obama-era guidance on transgender students’ bathroom access under Title IX, citing the need for state and local control in education policy, ongoing litigation, and reaffirming protections for LGBT students against discrimination and harassment.[23]
On April 14, 2017, following the repeal of House Bill 2 (HB2) and its replacement with House Bill 142 (HB142), the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a motion to withdraw its lawsuit against the state of North Carolina. The motion stated that, in light of the passage of HB142, the DOJ would no longer pursue its legal action challenging HB2.[24]

Legislative history
[edit]From July 18, 1975 onward, Arizona statutorily banned same-sex marriage. On July 22, 2003, Standhardt v. Superior Court of Arizona was filed by two same-sex couples who sought to overturn the state's ban on same-sex marriage. On October 8, 2003, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled against the plaintiffs in the case of Standhardt v. Superior Court of Arizona, upholding the state's same-sex marriage ban. On December 9, 2003, the Arizona Supreme Court declined to review the case of Standhardt v. Superior Court of Arizona, which effectively allowed the Arizona Court of Appeals' decision to stand, which had upheld the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
On May 12, 2008, the AZ House passed as amended, by a vote of 33 in favor, 25 against and 2 not voting, SCR 1042, which had the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Day part of it stricken out of the bill for a legislatively referred constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. On June 25, 2008, the AZ Senate passed, by a vote of 16 in favor, 4 against and 10 not voting, SCR 1042. On June 27, 2008, the AZ House passed, by a vote of 39 in favor and 21 against, SCR 1042, which put it on the November 2008 general ballot.

Exceptions
[edit]The law includes several exceptions to the restrictions on entering sex-designated changing rooms:
- Minor children: A minor child may enter a sex-designated changing room if they require assistance and are accompanied by a parent, guardian, or relative whose sex corresponds to the changing room's designation.
- Dependent minors or adults: Dependent minors or adults who need assistance can enter a sex-designated changing room accompanied by a caretaker whose sex corresponds to the changing room's designation.
- Public safety services: Law enforcement, emergency medical services, or fire protection personnel may access a sex-designated changing room while performing public safety services.
- Health care providers: Employees of health care facilities may access sex-designated changing rooms to provide health care services to patients.
- Maintenance staff: Individuals whose job duties include the maintenance or cleaning of the changing room are allowed to access the area.
- Unisex or single-occupant facilities.
- Sex-designated changing rooms not open to the general public.
- Transgender individuals who has undergone sexual reassignment surgery and legally changed their sex on their birth certificate.
- Intersex individuals.
The Sex-Based Designations For Privacy, Anti-Bullying, And Women's Opportunities Act is a law passed in Utah in 2023. It establishes regulations for the use of restrooms and other public facilities based on an individual’s biological sex at birth, mandates anti-bullying initiatives, and promotes measures to ensure women's participation in public and educational spaces. The law is part of a broader national trend involving legislation that affects transgender individuals, as it restricts access to facilities based on sex assigned at birth and aims to address privacy, safety, and fairness in public and educational institutions. The law was passed despite opposition from civil rights groups, and it has faced legal challenges since its implementation.
Provisions
[edit]The Sex-Based Designations For Privacy, Anti-Bullying, And Women's Opportunities Act has the following key provisions:
- **Facility Usage**: Individuals are required to use restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities that align with the sex they were assigned at birth. This applies to public schools, government buildings, and state-run institutions. Unisex options must be provided where necessary.[34]
- **Anti-Bullying Measures**: The law includes provisions for anti-bullying programs that focus on protecting students from harassment, particularly in educational settings. It aims to promote a safe and supportive environment for all students, with a focus on protecting privacy.[35]
- **Women's Opportunities**: The law includes specific language to promote and protect women's participation in sports and educational programs. It sets guidelines for ensuring that spaces and opportunities traditionally reserved for women remain accessible to them based on their biological sex.[36]
Facilities Covered
[edit]The following public facilities and private facilities that receive public funding, operates in a publicly owned or controlled building or has shared and communal privacy spaces are covered by the Sex-Based Designations For Privacy, Anti-Bullying, And Women's Opportunities Act:
Approximately 23.5% of private facilities and 52.9% of public facilities covered:
- Assisted living facilities
- Colleges
- Correctional institutions
- Domestic violence centers
- Healthcare facilities
- K-12 schools
- Massage establishments
- Shelters
- State government buildings with restrooms or changing facilities
- Pain management clinics
- Substance abuse treatment centers
- Universities
Penalties
[edit]Violations of the facility use provisions can result in penalties, including fines or misdemeanor charges. Institutions that fail to comply with the law may face civil penalties or legal action by the state's attorney general. Additionally, public schools are required to establish internal disciplinary procedures for violations of the act by staff or students.[37]
Legal Challenges
[edit]Following the enactment of the law, several civil rights organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), filed lawsuits arguing that the act violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as well as Title IX protections for transgender students. A preliminary injunction has been sought to pause enforcement of the law while litigation is ongoing.[38]
Exceptions
[edit]The law provides for a few exceptions to the facility use requirement, including:
- Providing assistance to individuals due to age, disability, or medical needs.
- Emergency situations that require immediate access to facilities.
- Individuals undergoing medical treatment for intersex conditions under a doctor's supervision.[39]
Reactions
[edit]Supporters of the law argue that it ensures privacy and safety in gender-segregated spaces and protects women's opportunities in sports and other areas. They also highlight the importance of reinforcing traditional values regarding sex and gender. However, critics, including LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, argue that the law discriminates against transgender individuals and compromises their dignity and access to public spaces.[40]

The Last of the Iron Sisters is a 2017 episode of VICE Sports' SWOLE documentary series that focuses on Danish professional female bodybuilder Helle Trevino and her preparing and competing at the 2016 Rising Phoenix World Championships.
Plot
[edit]The documentary starts backstage at the 2016 Rising Phoenix World Championships with Helle Trevino praying to God.
The Rising Phoenix is one of the last places for women to compete in bodybuilding. The event was created in 2015 after a series of women’s competitions cut out the bodybuilding division. Jake and Krystal Wood explain why they, as fans, were concerned about the possibility of canceling female bodybuilding division and shows and founded the Rising Phoenix.
We saw kind of a problem happening. They were canceling female bodybuilders division and the shows. Both of us, being fans, were really concerned. And we didn’t even know what to do. We just stepped in. 01:37 There's still a lot of people out there that can't accept the idea that a women has muscles, that a women is physically strong. And that's one of the things that I would really love to see change. In this industry we call each other “iron sisters.” And so many times we’ll see people be mean to us because we’re different. 02:00 And to put them up on a stage and celebrate that they’re different, I have the utmost respect for them. People are looking at their body and they’re looking at them, but they’re not seeing what’s inside. And what's inside is someone who was brave enough to just say, “This is what I want, no matter what the world tells me. 02:30 ” This is not a sport where you can just go to the gym and go out and drink a beer with your buddies. It’s like, you have a schedule with your food; you’ve got to time it. You have to eat on time, you train on time, you do cardio on time. Everything is very detailed. There's no such thing as just being lucky. 02:48 Anything in life, you got to work hard at it, especially on ourselves.
Helle Trevino is a professional Danish bodybuilder who now lives in Venice, Los Angeles California. She is preparing for the 2016 Rising Phoenix women’s bodybuilding competition. She says anywhere she goes she's recognized as a bodybuilder, so she feels even stronger representing her sport with her appearance. She adds that if she acts crazy or yells that it reflects badly on not just her, but also for her sport.
She starts cooking chicken and explains she cooks big and for the week.
I just love chicken. I think I know how to make chicken a hundred different ways. No joke. Cook big, cook for the week, then it’s just easier. Come on in. -Hey, Austin. -How are you? -Sorry, I was just eating. -No, it's all good. 03:45 Nice! Pretty big case. How are you? Good. Are you excited? Yeah, I'm super excited. Two days. I know, man. I’m nervous for you. I mean, the shape’s there. I know. I think whenever something is different, like a woman is super muscular, it’s like, “Oh, she wants to be a guy,” or, “She wants to be a transsexual. 04:09 " It's like people are trying to find some kind of weird explanation or overthinking. Maybe that’s just my ideal of beauty. Maybe I like to be strong mentally and physically. It makes you be better, do better. It builds character, it builds discipline. I always had it in me that I wanted to be the best. I like to be different. I like the extreme. 04:38 And also be a role model, inspire people like I was inspired. I'm an online trainer and coach. So I draw up diet plans, training plans, stuff like that. So I’ll work a little and then I’ll go back to the gym in the evening and do another hour of cardio, another session. Sometimes I'll also do some posing. 05:01 I like the feeling when people look at me. Even if I go power walking here, I get a lot of comments. People are like, “Wow!” With bodybuilding, it’s like you can decide what kind of size you want. And that's why we also have so many categories today. It’s not just bodybuilding anymore. It’s bikini, figure, fitness, physique, bodybuilding. 05:31 So it’s all about muscle shape, but it’s small, bigger, a little bigger, and biggest. And I'm in the biggest category. You think of bodybuilding, you think of men. And the women had to fight to be on the stage. They thought and said that that was too muscular. Even as an amateur, my goal was to go to Ms. 06:07 Olympia, to be the best in the world. And so now you’re telling me there’s no place for me. Like, now what? [For 34 years, Ms. Olympia was] the biggest event in women’s bodybuilding.] [It ended its event in 2015,] [the same year Rising Phoenix was started.] When I talk to the competitors, most of us, we all have that same conversation that we have this place to go, this place to compete, and that’s exciting. 06:37 There will be off days when you doubt yourself. “Have I made the improvements? Will I be good enough? Am I working hard enough? Am I doing the right things?” People are always on your side when it's going well and you're winning. And then when you’re down and it’s going bad, they’re like, “Oh, maybe you should give up. 06:55 ” My motto is, “It’s hard to beat someone who doesn’t give up.” But I’m definitely getting excited. This sport is all about preparation, so I started 2nd of November last year to prepare for this competition. The prize money for this show is pretty high. It’s $50,000 cash and a $65,000 Jeep. Last year I was second. 07:22 I’m one of the favorites to win this year, so I hope that I have the package that the judges will like. It’s really nice. -Very pretty. -Good? -Yeah, -OK. Are you happy with the color and stuff? The face, body? Yes, I was going to ask. I can deepen it a little bit, but I know we like it lighter. 08:00 But if you want I can-- Just deepen it a little bit. OK, let me get this. I have to be at rehearsal in five minutes. OK. So we got to make it quick. I have the opportunity to win this competition, so I don't want to compromise. This is crazy. My phone has been beeping all day like crazy. It’s just really emotional for me that my friends and my family, they’re all behind me, and I just get so many messages from everybody. 08:49 This is my sister, she's pretty buff too. Yeah, it's in the family. This is the 18 best female bodybuilders in the world. 18 best. They came from all over the world, flew in to compete here. Better go in and see what’s going on.
The IFBB Pro League 2016 Rising Phoenix World Championships, held at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, showcases the best in all professional women bodybuilding from around the globe. It is held in conjunction with the IFBB Pro League Wings of Strength Arizona Pro, which features every IFBB Pro League division for women on the stage.
Helle says some women don't want to look that muscular, but empathized that this is 2016 and that it's not a time to tell women what they can and cannot be.
Helle comes in fourth place. She said the judges must be looking for a look that they're going for and she didn't have, so she's going to improve by getting some feedback from the judges and work on it. She says she will come back next year and take the title next year (which she does do at the 2017 Rising Phoenix World Championships).
