If you want to run in the Republican Party and make money and have opportunities as a fascist it should not bother you to oppress women while demonizing your scapegoats to prove you have the sociopathy to play in the Reich. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Don't be so positive. Female athletes are inherently disposable, ones with intersex conditions even more so. Each one that fails a broken test will be turned into national pariahs with the state and the press determined to see them end their own lives, firing moral panics bsky.app/profile/gend...
A reminder about "sex testing" - it nearly drove a female athlete to suicide. A year after she was disqualified, she had a kid. Americans got their record though. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewa_K%C...
The culture wars are anything but; they are a one-sided fascist offensive.
I HATE it when people say “the culture wars” or “the discourse” are ruining the WNBA. BE PRECISE. Right-wing fascists are introducing misogyny and bigotry through their narratives and demands, in an effort to delegitimize an organization full of popular black women who vocally champion inclusivity.
