If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

he was so polite and good at what he did. we both came from the same home state. i hope he reaches stability somewhere safe. i never got the chance to say goodbye. i keep replaying the last interaction i had with him and its gutting me, it was so benign. he must have been so stressed out.
havent seen one of my favorite coworkers in a few weeks. despite living here their entire life with a clean record and a family, they wouldnt grant him citizenship. he self deported. i hope all the republican folks that run this place are proud of themselves.

Approximately two-thirds (66%) of white Americans supported racially segregated schools in the 1940s. By 1995, This figure reversed, with 96% white respondents agreeing that white and Black children should attend the same schools. It's quite obvious that we have to take actions first and care...

Replying to @bullwark.bsky.social
Were at a point where a plurality of people in power are just openly cartoonishly evil, not a difference of opinion, but like "not kicking puppies is woke liberal bullshit" degree of stupid, insane evil and the other main group meant to save us are busy going "whats if we only kicked 1 or 2 puppies"

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

I think this might genuinely have a serious cultural component. White society is built around intricate social rules that mostly serve to maintain a status quo in which bad behavior is over looked in favor of preserving stable social networks. What we're seeing is those networks breaking down. 1/
Which is evidence of a basic inability to build solid relationships IMO. Because nobody has to fucking like you. There’s no imperative to like anyone!

As a white kid in a liberal state, my childhood education in public school on civil rights was extremely reverent of MLK jr, and mentioned Malcolm X as “this other guy who believed in violence anyway let’s move on.” And my adulthood has been a process of unpacking who made that curriculum and why.
Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

the right to use public restrooms. the right to get IDs and passports. the right to access medical care, our doctors are being threatened with arrest if they write us prescriptions or consult with us for surgeries. which of your rights are under attack cis het boy?
What rights? You know, I happen to live under the same political parties and have had rights taken and impinged upon. If you’re going to come into my space and accuse me of heinous beliefs and acts, yet won’t say what they are, my instincts tell me to not go along with it and ask for clarification
