What if a 13-year-old orphan gets a pair of Michael Jordan’s old shoes at a thrift store? What if the shoes get struck by lightning and imbued with magical properties? Will he play in the NBA? How elite would he be? Will he eventually get adopted by his teammate Morris Chestnut?
you came from sport - women’s gymnastics - that is STILL mired in a horrific history of sexual abuse and rampant misogyny and mistreatment of women and girls by C!¡s men AND women and your main focus is on trans women (there are no trans women in elite gymnastics)
You’ll have to fucking excuse me if I call out your lack of care about the issues actually facing women and girls in sports.
One thing I think we can all easily forget in the (unnecessary) debate over trans athletes is that sports are GAMES we MADE UP & many ppl have innate, unfair advantages which make them the best. & that’s the point!! This pod was a great reflection on that: https://t.co/wfFvAbxqzx
The choice to juxtapose "young GIRLS" with "biological MEN" is a purposeful and insidious one, especially as anti-trans policies continue to infiltrate youth sports and open trans children to harassment and abuse. As the W continues to grow and young kids are inspired to pick up sports, these are the kinds of messages that will create barriers to entry.
Shameful to see.

Announcing the new edition of the ABCs of City Planning — the first update since its original release in 1937.
Kids of all ages can learn the building blocks of city planning and help us shape a brighter future for NYC ☀️
UPDATE: Burned and abandoned buildings in downtown Los Angeles keep catching fire on Hope Street.
Neighbors say there have been more than 10 fires on this block in recent weeks. Some of the charred buildings have burned multiple times.
Live report tonight on @FOXLA.
this isn’t funny - this is horrific, unforgivable, and grotesque. sexual assault is never funny, rape is never funny, and saying shit like this with the specific history of militaries committing sexual violence to fellow military members and locals is actually crazy.
I’ve made it a priority to ride @metrolosangeles more— but I know I don’t have the same experience as people who rely on our system everyday.
That’s why I’m bringing a proposal next week for Metro to add a seat for a rider to the board.
The Metro board needs a Metro rider.
