Also heartening news: I will appear tomorrow on a segment of Megyn Kelly YouTube show, together with Emma, an adult daughter of a man who claims he's female. I am the ex-wife of similar dude. I'm told it will air around 5pm eastern standard time. It's going to cover the PhD psychologist who puts her 2 bits into divorce proceedings when the wives divorce her patients. Emma will explain how her father brought home male prostitutes and other types that Nike wants to glorify. Meanwhile new info on just how rich the "gender surgeons" are:
I love that the ad asks Nike the question. Giving the Csuite the invitation and the question. The ball now in their court with their subsequent actions their answer. I hope I’m wrong and Nike will stand up and do the right thing. Thank you Jen for your leadership!
Shame on The Washington Post for its slanted and incomplete explanation in a recent article of the reasons some states, including Florida, have banned boys from competing against girls in girls sports.
In a story about a mom/trans girl duo, the "girl's" membership on the girls' volleyball team and the school district's pursuit of charges against the mom for allowing her biological son to play on a team, the writer naturally found it necessary to explain the rationale for the ban on boys' participation in girls' sports. This is what passed for an explanation:
"Over the next few years, Florida and two dozen other states passed nearly identical bans on trans girls in sports. Many Republican lawmakers spoke about trans athletes as if they were all the same — tall and muscular, physically dominant, grown men cross-dressing for the sake of a secondary school athletic win. The bill sponsors didn’t mention trans girls who never went through puberty. They hardly ever talked about children like Elizabeth who tried and failed to make a seventh grade team. By 2023, multiple polls, including one by The Post and KFF, found that two-thirds of Americans agreed that trans girls should not be allowed to play girls sports."
It is conceivable the account could have been more biased and incomplete, but then even the Post would not have been able to get away with running it.
As I said in my letter to the editor of the Post: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It does a gross disservice to readers to present the case for the ban using only unattributed second-hand hyperbole from unnamed Republican politicians: "Many Republican lawmakers spoke about trans athletes as if they were all the same — tall and muscular, physically dominant, grown men cross-dressing for the sake of a secondary school athletic win."
The author of this piece is the accomplished Queer reporter Casey Parks, who the Post describes as a "Staff reporter covering LGBTQ issues." She has built a career as a cheerleader for sexual and gender minorities. Her treatment of this topic reflects an undeniable trans bias. The reference to a poll showing "two-thirds of Americans agreed that trans girls should not be allowed to play girls sports" sure looks like an editor's clumsy attempt to counter the bias. It was not effective, but the way.
What else accounts for the omission of the female point of view on males in women's sports? In the real world, the males who are pushing teen girls off the winners' podium are not "tall and muscular, physically dominant, grown men cross-dressing for the sake of a secondary school athletic win." They're high school teen boys with a teen male's physiological advantage over girls. The bans are in place to make sure that a girl athlete's years of training and athletic achievement don't go down the toilet when a boy unfairly defeats her. It isn't just the girl's self-esteem that's harmed. Her athletic career may suffer and she may lose out on college scholarships.
I communicated my dissent in a letter to the editor because the piece was one of the very few that was not accompanied by a comments section. Isn't that rich? The paper's slogan is "Democracy dies in darkness," yet when covering a highly contentious topic the Post did not grant readers the democratic right to express opposing points of view.
Here's the Post's profile of Queer author and trans collaborator Casey Parks: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/casey-parks/ She needs a remedial lesson in objective reporting or a transfer to the opinion page. I'd prefer she do the former.
So sad that this beautiful video is even needed in 2024, but here we are. Onward & forward...
'Will you just do it?" Bravo. Use their own words to highlight their hypocrisy.
