The drama surrounding Melania Trump‘s fake charity event continues.Quick backstory: The ex-FLOTUS announced she would be hosting a high tea “benefit” in Naples, Florida for “Fostering the Future, a Be Best initiative,” which claims to award computer science scholarships to children aging out of the foster care system.

Tickets ranged from $3,000 to $50,000, though Melania didn’t specify exactly how much of that money would go to charity.Related: Melania calls reporters “dream killers” for exposing her fake charityBut shortly Melania’s announcement, The New York Times uncovered that neither “Fostering the Future” or “Be Best” were registered charities in the state of Florida, and according state law, organizations cannot solicit donation there without being registered.

This prompted an angry response from the ex-FLOTUS, who lashed out at reporters, accusing them of try to “cancel” her and destroy the “hopes and dreams of children”.Now, she says the whole event is being scrapped, er, postponed.

But it’s not because she was exposed for appearing to raise money for a fake charity. It’s because organizers of the event simply received so many donations that they could no longer follow through with the fundraiser.

With 37 states considering bans to block transgender athletes from sports, trans male swimmer (and 2021 Queerties nominee) Schuyler Bailar is using his platform to destroy conservative lies about trans athletes.Bailar, who was the first transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men’s team, has shared his transition journey on TV shows like 60 Minutes and The Ellen Show. These days, he’s using his Instagram feed to post compelling, bite-size explainers on how right-wing hysteria over trans athletes is just old-fashioned misogyny and transphobia.Trans sports bans affect all girls, he explains in a March 28 video, because in order to exclude trans girls, officials have to police girl’s bodies and allow some girls to be accused of being trans just because they seem too “masculine” to others.“At what point is a girl ‘too tall’ … ‘too strong,’ ‘too good,’ ‘too fast,’ ‘too masculine’ to then be accused of being transgender?” he asks.
