Gender Studies I

[Swansong]

Compete as an "I'll pick my own gender" athlete..?

Sure, no one but friends and family will give a hoot, but the Lia situation is obviously unfair.

Who knows what even the Special Olympics will allow, going forward.

(Fire away, but I don't quite qualify right now... Give me a few more weeks.)

Thank you for confirming that you aren't interested in being a serious participant in this discussion.

Unfortunately, the message a lot of the Dumpies are getting from that is "teachers would rather quit than not talk about trans stuff in front of 7 year olds".

But there’s no end to the slippery slope. They may need to learn a few hard lessons when they want to enact petty punitive laws

Dumpies are incapable of taking in new information. The only message they ever get, from any experience, is "you are perfect and all your bigotries are justified."

Close, but there should be something about "the Bible says so."

Another in a long series of cheap shots that duck the actual issue.

Explain why sports are even segregated on the basis of biological gender, if such a thing is merely a concept, and a choice.

Can't wait.

This isn't exactly the "gotcha" line of questioning you think it is...

[MissThundercat]

Between various iterations of Don't Say Gay, Ketanji Brown Jackson being asked to define woman, various states attempting to one up with cruel anti-trans legislation, and more, believe that myself and your Alphabet friends are extremely tired, extremely frustrated, and losing hope things will ever get better.

It's not irrational to not want to deal with this. It's protection. It's valuing our safety.

And I will remind you prior to Stonewall, there were quiet, peaceful protests. There were attempts to educate. But no one really listened to those. But the moment Marsha P. Johnson and those at Stonewall made the cops run from them on June 28, 1969, that's when things started to change.

My job, especially as an elder trans lesbian, is to carry that legacy forward and make it better for the next generation. To "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." It is not to protect cishet feelings.

Honestly if LGBTQers, particularly women, became radicalized and violent, nobody could blame them. I don't think that's a path to a better place, but you never know. It's funny how a bloody nose makes conservative cowards less aggressive.

The only rational reaction to a Nazi is a kick to the throat.

[Jeb2020]

Asked to define a women? Lmao

Are there any period having trans men dominating the NCAA mens divison? Just need to pop a few testosterone pills, should be good to go…

[MissThundercat]

Also, Kep, you tell me to move to NYC.

I was thinking Medoc or somewhere in the French countryside.

Trying to determine who's worse: Kay Ivey or Greg Abbott.
