@RapSheet@TomPelissero i’ve never understood why the doctor’s name gets reported.

The U.S. Secret Service is apologizing to a Massachusetts salon owner after an agent covered her security camera with duct tape and broke into her salon by picking the lock so that its bathroom could be used by various people for a two-hour period.
After the two-hour period, Secret Service agents left her salon unlocked and left the tape covering the camera.
The woman was told by others that the lead Secret Service agent was directing people to use her salon’s bathroom without authorization.

Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
