    @ploughboy what a massive "fuck you" to all of the sportswomen who slogged their guts out and actually won something.

    Transphobe

    Quite possibly by other people's definitions.

    3-4 years waiting for trans healthcare access - a lot of trans people in the UK wish there was more press on the real issues like this. Well worth a read imo.

    I'm bored with MPs arguing over who does and who doesn't have a cervix

    Trans people have bigger things to worry about - and so should MPs.

    Totally agree. It's completely wrong that the NHS prioritises Cancer, Heart disease over the wants of trans people. Absolutely disgusting.

    Dave Chappelle Is Right, Isn't He?

    Dave Chappelle Is Right, Isn't He?

    The comedian defends reality. Which is currently under siege.

    Enjoyed the special, and as is pointed out in any of the reviews of it is that the target is trans people, it's white people. Yet, I'm not offended, if you are going to be racist at least be funny.

    Which he is.

    Anyway, the above articly, by a prominent left wing gay man is showing the left is starting to eat itself over there. Hopefully we swing back towards scientific realities.

    Makes me wonder how many strident pro-vaccination social justicice warriors block their ears when they the trans subject comes up.

    (and before anyone willfully misunderstands that last point, my second jab is next week).

    @Kirwan this quote - “Too often in The Closer, it just sounds like Chappelle is using white privilege to excuse his own homophobia and transphobia.”

    Holy fucking shit, where do people get off making statements like that.

    The special was good, not as funny as the last one but for obvious reasons (won't spoil it), but I thought the way he talked about his trans friend as a human first was really powerful.

    LMAO. Not simply beating national records. Destroying them.

    “ "That was so easy, I was cruising," Lia Thomas allegedly said. “

    Second female Penn swimmer steps forward, describes teammates in tears

    Even after a Wednesday team meeting where a source says Penn administration “strongly advised” its swimmers to avoid talking to the media about the situation surrounding transgender Penn swimmer Lia Thomas, a second female Penn swimmer has stepped forward to speak out via an exclusive interview...

    @kid-chocolate

    Is that all legitimate?

    That's incredible if so! Well done her for being born so naturally better than all the rest of those competitors. 🙂

    One line I especially like was the comment that Trans shouldn't be marginalised but in becoming trans, biological women should then become marginalised because of them.

    I know we live in a different time and that finally women have much better rights that they used to and equal opportunities etc, but it must seem to them that men are trying to infiltrate them to take the equality away 🙂

    @hooroo It seems the vocal trans men supporters are the ultimate misogynists.

    The feminists who fought so hard for title IX must be absolutely loving it. This issue makes for some interesting guests on Tucker Carlson.

    “Akron was an absolute beatdown by Thomas, but it wasn’t without disgust from fans who were in the building watching meet, pool, and school records drop one after the other.

    "Usually everyone claps, everyone is yelling and cheering when someone wins a race. Lia touched the wall and it was just silent in there," OutKick’s source said during a phone interview.

    "When [Penn swimmer] Anna [Kalandadze] finished second, the crowd erupted in applause."

    I do recall Greenwald discussing this with Martina Navratilova several years ago.

    A little under the weather but shall try and read in the a.m. when can see straight 🙂

    But I suspect the gist is that along the "anyone who queries trans opinion is evil" dogma?
