Women are told to report rape. To put their lives under a microscope. To endure years of investigations, cross-examination and trauma in the name of justice.

Victims don’t get an early release from what happened to them. Why should the people who inflicted it? What a disgrace.

🎾Breaking: No men allowed in women’s professional tennis

The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) implements sex-screening for all players “to preserve the integrity of women’s professional tennis and maintain fair competition conditions for all players…”

Thank you to tennis stars @Martina @ChrissieEvert and @SabalenkaA for being outspoken advocates of fair sport and equal opportunities for women. 👏👏👏

[Professor Alice Sullivan @ProfAliceS]

The fact that a government-commissioned report classes describing male athletes as male as 'misinformation' is disturbing on many levels. Sadly it tells us something about the lack of rigour and tendency to uncritical groupthink among some social scientists.

Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, deren Karlsruher Ambitionen glücklicherweise scheiterten, liefert in der ZEIT eine Kostprobe dessen, was dem Gericht erspart geblieben ist. Ihre These: Das Leihmutterschaftsverbot greife in die Grundrechte der Wunscheltern ein, eine sachliche Rechtfertigung sehe sie nicht. Die Banalität, dass jedes Verbot in Grundrechte eingreift, lernt man im ersten Semester. Wer "zur Familiengründung auf eine Leihmutterschaft angewiesen" ist, begehrt aber kein Abwehrrecht, sondern staatliche Ermöglichung fremder Gebärleistung. Ein Leistungsanspruch auf den Uterus einer Dritten, wird von ihr als Freiheitsrecht kostümiert. Die Rechtfertigungsgründe, die sie nicht sieht, füllen Bibliotheken: Instrumentalisierung des weiblichen Körpers, Ausbeutungsschutz, Kommerzialisierungsverbot, Kindeswohl. EGMR, BGH und die eigens eingesetzte Bundeskommission sehen sie allesamt. Ihre Vergleichsgruppe für das Austragen und Weggeben eines Kindes: Rauchen, Alkohol, Hochrisikosport. Dass am Ende der Schwangerschaft kein Kater steht, sondern ein Mensch, der vertraglich bestellt und übergeben wird, entgeht der Verfassungsrechtlerin, die sonst keine Gelegenheit auslässt, ihr Verfassungsverständnis "vom Menschen her" zu deklamieren. Vom Menschen her gedacht, nur eben nicht vom Kind und nicht von der Frau, die es hergibt.

In case you missed this horrific story from last week:

A couple are suing a Canadian surrogate mother for $600,000 after she refused to have an abortion.

That’s what surrogacy is. Ban it now.

Damit wissen wir nochmal sicher, warum es die falsche Frau für das Bundesverfassungsgericht gewesen wäre -aber auch, warum Jens Spahn als damaliger Fraktionschef der CDU kein Problem mit ihr als Kandidatin hatte. Brosius-Gersdorf spricht sich für eine Legalisierung der Leihmutterschaft in Deutschland aus. Der CDU, aber damit auch allen Gegnern der Leihmutterschaft, attestiert sie ein Menschenbild, das "nicht dem Grundgesetz entspricht".
Diese Frau ist noch viel böser, als ich dachte.

BREAKING: A new @ManhattanInst analysis found that teens in Oregon received shockingly higher rates of transgender-related diagnosis compared to other states.

Minors in Oregon were almost 20x more likely to have a transgender-related diagnosis than minors in Mississippi—and that's just one example.

Ich respektiere andere Meinungen zu dem Thema.
Aber wer das Verbot für verfassungswidrig hält, der sollte verfassungsrechtlich in Deutschland nichts zu sagen haben. Gut dass diese Frau abservert wurde. Midwit!

He told his students to go to the windows.
Get out. Jump if you have to.
Then Liviu Librescu walked to the classroom door and pressed his body against it.
He was 76 years old. He weighed 140 lbs
The gunman was in the hallway.
It was April 16, 2007. A Monday morning. Solid mechanics class at Virginia Tech, Room 204. Twenty-two students, most of them 19 or 20 years old.
At 9:45 AM, gunshots echoed through Norris Hall. Room by room, the shooter was working his way down the corridor.
Liviu heard it. He understood immediately.
He had survived the Holocaust. He had survived a labor camp. He had spent decades living under Communist oppression. He knew exactly what evil sounded like.
He told his students to escape through the windows. Second floor — it was a drop, but they'd survive. Then he walked to the door and held it shut with his body.
The shooter tried to force it open. It wouldn't move.
He fired through the door. Wood splintered. Bullets came through.
Liviu stayed.
Behind him, students were climbing out the windows. Dropping to the ground. Running. One by one, all twenty-two of them got out.
The shooter kept firing through the door.
Liviu held it shut until every student was safe.
Then the bullets killed him.
When police arrived, they found his body at the door.
All 22 of his students survived. Not one was injured.
Liviu Librescu was born on August 18, 1930, in Ploiești, Romania.
He was Jewish. In 1941, when he was eleven years old, Romanian authorities sent him and his family to a labor camp. His father died there. Liviu survived. When the war ended, he was fifteen.
He went back to school. Studied engineering. Earned a doctorate from the University of Bucharest.
But Communist Romania had no interest in allowing a Jewish intellectual to succeed. He was blocked from academic positions. Passed over for jobs he deserved. He applied to emigrate. The government kept refusing.
Finally, in 1978 when Liviu was 48 years old — Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin personally intervened. Romania let him go.
He had spent most of his adult life trapped in a country that didn't want him.
In Israel, he taught at Tel Aviv University. Published over 300 papers. Became an international expert in aeroelasticity — the science of how air flows over aircraft wings.
In 1985, Virginia Tech offered him a position. He moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. He taught there for 22 years. His students loved him — demanding but kind, high standards, genuine care.
He was still teaching full-time at 76. Still publishing research. Still showing up every Monday morning for solid mechanics.
April 16 was the first day of Passover — the Jewish holiday celebrating liberation from slavery and oppression.
Liviu Librescu died on the day his tradition sets aside to celebrate freedom.
He spent his entire life escaping death and oppression by luck, by persistence, by the intervention of others. And on his last morning, he chose to stand at a door so that twenty-two young people could have the future he had fought so hard to reach.
He could have run. He could have hidden. He could have climbed out a window with his students.
He chose to stay.
The Virginia Tech shooting killed 32 people that day — the deadliest school shooting in American history at the time.
Room 204 had zero casualties.
Because a 76-year-old Holocaust survivor held a door with his body until every student behind him was gone.
His funeral was held in Israel. Students from Virginia Tech flew across the ocean to honor him. The Israeli government awarded him the Star of David Medal posthumously. Virginia Tech named a scholarship in his memory.
His son said his father died the way he lived — protecting others.
A man who survived everything evil threw at him for 76 years.
On his last day, he made sure 22 kids survived too.
Professor Liviu Librescu. August 18, 1930 — April 16, 2007.
Holocaust survivor. Labor camp survivor.
302 published papers. 22 years at Virginia Tech.
22 students out the window.
He held the door.

Die ehemalige Richterkandidatin für das Bundesverfassungsgericht Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf hält das Verbot der Leihmutterschaft für verfassungswidrig. Frauen werde damit „ihr Recht auf Selbstbestimmung“ abgesprochen. Die Risiken seien mit dem Rauchen zu vergleichen.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) now requires female players to confirm their sex via genetic testing to compete in tournaments under its auspices.

Athletes who refuse to sign the document or undergo the test face disciplinary measures, including long-term disqualification.

The WTA joins World Athletics, World Boxing, and the IOC, which have already approved similar SRY gene testing for future Olympic Games.
