@Sjacobs2020@usedgov Respectfully, that (5 cases in K-12 sport) is wildly wrong. You should delete this post, and do some research to understand this issue better in the future.
@LouiseCulmer1@tardwife4life The OP is totally wrong, and you’re right.
Their numbers assumed everyone involved was a firstborn child and the youngest would “know” her grandparents at age 0.
For an actual 10 year old in 1980, median grandparent age was 60-64.
@tardwife4life The median kid was not a firstborn kid. Your demographics are all wrong.
The median 10-year-old American in 1980 had grandparents around 60-64.
@tardwife4life That is false
For a typical (median) 10-year-old child in 1980, the actual median age of their grandparents was approximately 61 to 64 years old.

@runthinkwrite Thanks for keeping us apprised of this sort of thing. Really enjoy your take on these deluded people who somehow acquired influence (briefly).
@Aletheia_70@LeorSapir No one would be happier than I to see WPATH put out of business, but the FTC will likely lose (eventually) on 1A grounds (see the recent DC district court ruling on the same issue).
They might win in the first stage given the venue.
@mara_yamauchi@NeilThin@parkrun And even if the UKSC hadn't stepped in, simple decency and respect for girls and women runners ought to have led parkrun to make the male/female categories single-sex.
Female runners deserve equal opportunity and equal recognition. Parkrun is shamefully denying them that.
@Patterico I'm old enough to remember the 2004 election when Republican convention-goers wore "purple heart band-aids" to mock a man who was injured fighting for his country.
Partisanship does odd things to people's brains.
@socfemoz@SVPhillimore The fact that you're unwilling to give a simple clear answer is evidence that you yourself understand that the policy of allowing males to be housed alongside females in a women's refuge is morally indefensible.
@OnlyTheEarth@mattyglesias It's also the kind of thing that would be weirdly infuriating to him. He doesn't care about things like foreign policy or nuclear proliferation or the economy, but having something his people renovated/redecorated turn out looking badly is the one thing he'd find humiliating.
@benryanwriter@spencerdaviis But most people don't pay that. At elite universities, the sticker price is not a reliable guide to actual cost unless your family is wealthy.
