How did bathrooms become separated by sex? See my article: Sexism in the Bathroom Debates: How Bathrooms Really Became Separated by Sex, https://t.co/iNXC9r9CMn or https://t.co/hpxQMbtWAu

When there is widespread discrimination, as is present in cases seeking to erase sex and women, one needs a court decision, preferably from the highest available court, to establish a precedent that can be used to protect all victims.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

In the US, many times, those trying to replace sex with gender identity block rights despite knowing they will lose if challenged. This is done not merely to fight for what they want but also to waste time & resources, thus overwhelming the rightful victors.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

Settlements may be good for clearing court dockets, and for the involved victim to end the attack, but settlements are also a way gender ideologists block their opponents’ best cases from reaching the highest courts.

@KaivanShroff Crockett never suggested the tone filter was not used for others. The question she raises is whether it was only used because she was there —and had she not been there it would not have been used.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

Well, you start with a lie first (“For fifty years …convinced …”), effectively imposing a stereotype, then you double down on the lie (“two issues that aren’t …). You can argue that the Bible’s statements about murder or children or pregnancy or same sex relationships, are often taken out of context or misunderstood or that some Christians xxx, but c’mon man. If this is how he interprets the Bible, God help us on how he will interpret the law.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.

Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

Yep, Malcolm and others observed it long before.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

Trump is petty & stupid. His Truth Social post about the Obamas was racist. He must always seize defeat from the jaws of victory. The only difference between Repubs & Dems is that racist Repubs are openly so, while racist Dems pretend to care as they stab blacks in the back.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

@SwipeWright And it is also white. It uses femaleness and darker skin as shields—and it needs racial tension to survive.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

@DTheKingpin @jeffcharlesjr Money and resources is the difficulty. They deny you their substantial fundraising infrastructure and $$ if you won’t be the crash dummy. They grant that to those who go along. Mainstream Media is in on the game.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

@jemelehill Journalism was always for profit. Ben Franklin was in the business as was his older brother. But over the past 17+ years, the Post (and other mainstream media) started manipulating opinion to make it appear as fact. I stopped reading it for that reason.

[Jon Pike @runthinkwrite]

This isn't right.

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

On this day in 1902, a white mob seized Thomas Brown, a 19-year-old Black man, from a jail cell and lynched him on the lawn of the Jessamine County Courthouse in Nicholasville, Kentucky.

‘For a decade, the British police have harassed me for expressing views that the majority of the public share.’

Graham Linehan gives evidence to the US congress, adding ‘we have simply been punished for objecting to fashionable yet incoherent orthodoxies.’

[Emma Hilton @FondOfBeetles]

In news that will surprise only the wilfully blind, Imane Khelif has admitted having the SRY “make male” gene.

In pursuit of their ideology, the International Olympic Committee not only allowed a male boxer into a ring with women, but also demanded we all STFU about it.

No.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

@GreenPlusAnE Thank you. Not sure I have time to read it but interesting. One has to ask what “work” means of course, and why it matters if someone does not “work” and whether male or female matters. Thanks for pointing it out.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

The language used for these men is interesting: detached, dependent, defeated. When the poor with no dependents (or those experiencing discrimination) aren’t working, and aren’t looking, people call them “lazy.”

[Russ Greene @GreenPlusAnE]

Nick Eberstadt on the epidemic of men without work:

“roughly 7 million men between the ages of 25 and 54 are now un-workers: over 1 in 10. For every prime-age man who is actually unemployed — i.e. jobless but looking — there are three who are jobless and not looking. Such men characteristically are detached, dependent and defeated. Almost half say they use pain medication every day. A large proportion are former felons. Too many live lives of lost potential and court deaths of despair.”

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

@GreenPlusAnE I did not take it that the study was concerned about disabled men. But then I have not seen it. I would like to see a better breakdown rather than lumping all men together. There are likely also men working off the books.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

@GreenPlusAnE i am sure many parents struggle to do this. But I blame education and an intentional effort to make well off young people believe that work that interferes with play time is not necessary. We do them no favor by not using the same word we use for others who lack well off parents.

[W. Burlette Carter @wddaughter]

@GreenPlusAnE My point is they didn’t use the word lazy; “dependent” is more forgiving. Not all are poor.
A Lowes manager recently told me he could not find young workers who wanted to work a full day or holidays. He opined that parents were indulging their kids’ desires well past college.
