@hecheateddotorg @grok Please identify the state senate and state assembly sponsors of this "self-id" legislation and the governor who signed it into law.

The @WNBA @CathyEngelbert just told the world that two men who publicly identified as women are “not eligible.” They called the declarations “publicity stunts” and said they won’t “give oxygen” to the challenge. How rude, dismissive and discriminatory.

Here’s the BIG problem:

The @WNBA is headquartered in New York.

New York’s State Constitution explicitly forbids private corporations from discriminating on the basis of gender identity or gender expression.

The CBA still only says “players who are women.”
It never defines the word.

By declaring these men ineligible after they identified as women, the @WNBA is treating their claimed gender identity as invalid for eligibility purposes.

Dismissing it as a “stunt” doesn’t erase the legal exposure. It highlights it. Let the lawsuits begin.

Any sex-segregated league based in New York that refuses biological males who identify as women under an undefined “women” rule is walking straight into a constitutional discrimination argument.

The @WNBA is begging to see you in court before they let you on the court. @EnesFreedom @Highway_30 - Recommend you set up a consult with @KDansky

Careful what you wish for, @WNBA

Freedom of speech never looked this good. 💅🏽

Somehow controversial.🤷🏻‍♂️

@emmma_camp_ @WSJFreeEx It’s “rent regulation” in NYC - “rent control” was a fed program started in the 1940’s - shifted to NYC and phased out by the early 1970’s. Good luck on your “book���.

Gender ideology is an illiberal, backwards way of thinking that I make no apologies for opposing.

Heres a bit of my explanation as to why.

@LeftyWinter @grok - does the health insurance congressional representatives enjoy cover fertility treatments- and specially egg preservation?

“Woman deserves violence for saying only women belong in women’s sports” is not new. Sophie’s a “TERF” now. She will hear this all day every day. Forever. Or until a majority of people stop allowing this nonsense to continue.

What about women? @GovKathyHochul

I would like to formally request a split-screen of soap cutting, pressure washing, and a rug cleaning video to calm this down.

@danielsgoldman @bradlander Pretty sure @bradlander would pay attention to his elderly constituents and not blow them off like you do @danielsgoldman. Your own team says you don't have any power.

[Art Smart @ArtSmart80]

@RepDanGoldman This morning - your NYC team member "Jane" told me you literally have no power and cannot help an elderly 9/11 breast cancer survivor and your constituent. Is that true?

[Art Smart @ArtSmart80]

@danielsgoldman As told to me today by another condescending Goldman "team" member "Jane" - "he has no connections to attorneys, NYC City and State Agencies" - and has no power. How does that make you feel Rep. Goldman?

[Art Smart @ArtSmart80]

@danielsgoldman Just this week - your team blew off an elderly 9/11 breast cancer survivor. The dehumanizing, undignified and unacceptable treatment of a constituent should alarm you - does it?

The Grand Canal Court decision isn’t as straightforward as a simple swap for a dog run. This Parks site is embedded in a complex web of long-planned infrastructure upgrades.

The MTA substation project (Eighth Avenue line) began in early 2023 with an original multi-year timeline. Surface restoration of the court is built into that contract.

Right next door, the NYC DEP sewer/pump station in Duarte Square has been underway since mid-2024 (Gramercy contractor) and has already hit early snags.

These projects remind us why it’s so important to know what lies beneath—decades of aging subway power and sewer infrastructure drive the sequencing and delays.

Community Board 2 is well aware of the several high schools just a few blocks away. Those students rely on Grand Canal Court as a key landing spot for pickup games and after-school activity.

Completing the committed MTA restoration first makes sense before considering any permanent changes.

The article lacks depth and accuracy. Understanding the full infrastructure picture helps everyone weigh the tradeoffs fairly.

Grand Canal basketball court should be back by end of summer
The court closed three and a half years ago for a MTA construction project. But neighbors are petitioning to put a dog run at that spot instead.
