Gender Studies I

Unlike Dump or MTG though, she really doesn't have the charisma.

Right. If someone does unseat Gavin (not happening), it's not her. She's not Arnold.

Eventually, all Caitlin will be good for is being on Faux/OAN as the "token trans woman who agrees with trans discrimination." See Blair White.

Cut off all the attention and we can make that day come awfully quick.

TN: Businesses are forced to put up signs saying they allow and serve trans customers.

At least this informs me I will never be touring TN.

I’m not clicking on article because it’s nyt and I don’t subscribe but Jesus.

it can be hard to eliminate cleavage when you’re of a certain chest size

“Yearbook photos of at least 80 female students at Bartram Trail High School in St. Johns County, Fla., were digitally altered to cover more of their chests, according to parents.

“They’re all good students and we’re going to focus on whether you have too much shoulder showing? It’s out of control."

Also- anyone know where mookie went?

Conservative logic: If a woman shows a micrometer of bra strap or cleavage, it's a distraction to boys and she has to cover up

Caitlin is just another Kardashian side show.
Scooby has a better chance at CA Gov (with me as his Lt Gov) than Caitlan.


Who has a real chance? Richard Grenell.

That's not what the statute says, exactly... What it says is that businesses have to notify customers that there is no such thing as a segregated Men's restroom nor a Women's restroom on-site. This doesn't strike me as fundamentally unreasonable. It's a major sea-change to send your little girls into, say, a YMCA locker room where "cis" men are allowed free access just because they profess to identify as women at that moment.

I'm as Left as Bernie, but that makes no sense and it will not fly in a meaningful manner- even with Liberals- when they have to deal with it first-hand. Either we have a concrete definition of gender, or we can throw the whole concept of gender out the window.

I don't see how we can have it both ways, but I'd like to hear your take. (The smug p***k, not so much.)

Leave your fantasies out of it and let's talk about real life situations.

I love this. Fishy comes in with his ONE deceased argument on how anti-trans laws are needed to prevent rape in public bathrooms, he gets his proverbial tail kicked and tossed in the dumpster out back over and over again, but never learns from this.

Fishy, sweetie... there's nothing wrong with having public humiliation as your kink. However, this board isn't the place for it. You'd better be served by a professional Mistress who can dedicate her time to you at $300/hour.

[MissThundercat]

And also, I COULD give you my take on "how we need a clear definition of gender." I could do that, yes. In my time as advocate, I've been through so-called debates like this while dealing with subsequent gaslighting and outright ignorance of evidence while bigots scream "BUT MY CONCERNS!" before, so it won't be for free.

Also, changing the topic:

AA changed their General Preamble from "men and women" to a generic "people."

The fundies in traditional AA are losing their minds.

Huh? Who said anything of the sort? Don't project YOUR fantasies, please.

Point is, if it's a free-for-all in terms of gender anywhere, there's gonna be trouble, and it won't help the cause in either the short- or long-term.

Pretty simple stuff.
