@MayorofSeattle Girls will objectively not be able to thrive as their authentic selves in the absence of a protected category for sports competition. This weekend is HS state swim meet. The FASTEST girls would not even qualify for the meet if there was one category.
@Runningactor@VioletDeVille Or better, we just get rid of sex based categories and let everyone play together. Seems like there is no way to make it fair so why try?
@hecheateddotorg@droppingscien But don’t boys and girls both have to turn in the same sports physical form with the same check box? As long as it’s not a different separate or additional form for girls, I think it’s not discriminatory. The doctor can decide how to fill out the form.
@doll_elizabeth@dilanesper My HCP thinks she is going to have to do genital exams as part of the sports physical. Doesn’t anyone read the actual initiative?
If many Jews you know are a little bummed today, it’s not because they’re big Republicans or love Trump. It’s because we see too many people who excused and even celebrated our death gain power, backed by mainstream institutions.
Are they going to put us on trains? Hell no. Are they fueling violent hatred and spreading populist lies about us? Yes, and history shows that never works out well for ANYONE.
The good news is, Jews wake up this morning and continue to be Jews.
Most of us don’t have the luxury to “rethink” our identity when it’s unpopular, or ride the tides of antisemitism when it suits us (looking at you, Lander). A few will, hell, maybe many. But there has never EVER been a politician or leader in history who has changed who we are as a people - and G-d knows many have tried.
@jessesingal The argument that conservatives are overestimating the trans in sports thing is dumb. jesse, how many men in girls sports do we need before it’s an issue we should care about?
