  • 2 transgender New Hampshire girls can play on girls sports teams during lawsuit, a judge rules

  • If it's to prove a point then they won't pass the regulatory body, like when Ben Shapiro tried to get a bunch of mediocre male basketball players to pretend to transition to try to get them into a women's basketball tourney. It didn't work, because they were obviously not trans. It isn't even difficult to tell, because they obviously don't have the relationship with their gender trans people have. It would be hard to fake. And none of them were on hormones anyways so they wouldn't have qualified in the first place.

    Estrogen supplementation on a male mind will cause gender dysphoria, so I don't think they would be able to keep it up for very long. But say one does, why would they knowingly make themselves infertile with no benefit? I know I had to weigh fertility and HRT and only went with HRT because of the mental health benefits that come with it. A cis man pretending gets no benefit, but does get:

    • Infertility
    • Significant muscle mass loss (remember we are talking about male athletes, muscles are kinda their whole thing)
    • Gender dysphoria, as they are now taking the wrong hormones

  • That is true.

    Did I miss the sarcasm or do you really think ANYONE would/could transition just for supposed gains in sports, let alone EVERYONE? They would have to take hormones that make them permanently infertile for over a year and proceed with a social transition all to convince a regulatory body that they are trans (and all of this would be incredibly difficult on their non-trans minds), and they would lose an incredible amount of muscle mass which typically athletes... Wouldn't want

  • Con: Literally every single professional athlete will become trans so they can win at sports.

    Please tell me I'm missing the sarcasm here 🙄🤦‍♀️

    What experts do you think are lying about trans people?

  • Montana Supreme Court rules minors don't need parental permission for abortion

  • Agreed, and we did prior to Roe v Wade being repealed

  • The Montana State constitution has a guaranteed right to privacy, which is what Row v Wade used to guarantee abortion access. It would take a Montana constitutional amendment to change it in Montana. Scotus has no authority over the matter.

  • TIL that a high school in Pennsylvania issued an Apple MacBook to each of its 2,306 students, then remotely activated the webcams to spy on the students at home.

  • Usually when you hear about a settlement (and not a plea deal) that means this was a civil case and not a criminal one. A civil case doesn't weigh in on whether or not criminal charges will be brought.

    If enough people push the Attorney General of that state to pursue charges they still could (Edit: it's been 14 years and the Statute of Limitations is 5 years for wiretapping which I think is the highest possible charge). But there is a higher standard for evidence in criminal trials. Not to mention the defense's argument would likely be that schools have the right to wiretap students' issued laptops, so the AG probably doesn't want this to go to court and end up enshrining such a right when it currently holds civil liability due to the civil case succeeding.

  • This is his one strength. He can dog whistle as much as he wants because he always carefully chooses his words to add some sort of plausible deniability or innocent interpretation. So his base hears what he can't fully say out loud yet and the media has to carefully tiptoe around interpreting it or lose credibility to his base

    Some news headlines even refer to the second one as "the R-word":

    CNN: The terrible R-word that football needed to lose

    Politico: The R-Word Is Even Worse Than You Think

    These are extremely harmful words with hundreds of years of genocide behind them. I imagine the only reason they aren't censored like the N-word is is because Native Americans make up a proportionally smaller population due to the effectiveness of the genocide, and because the reservation system is in contrast to racial integration as with American black people in so much as it limits interactions between them and racist whites who would overuse a dehumanizing phrase to the same extent.

  • There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.

    “Those tests are not legitimate tests. The tests themselves, the process of the tests, the ad hoc nature of the tests are not legitimate,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams told a press conference on Sunday.

    “The testing, the method of the testing, the idea of the testing which happened kind of overnight. None of it is legitimate and this does not deserve any response,” Adams said.

    The IOC last year stripped the IBA of its status as boxing’s governing body over management and finance issues, and took charge of the Paris Games boxing competition, applying eligibility rules from the 2016 and the 2021 Olympics.
