Fear mongering is all they have. They know that most people are not ok with boys and men competing against girls. So, they try to scare people. It's their most useful and effective tactic.
Just a note that it is U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, (WA 07). Jayapal is representing her constituents, or rather, the majority of her constituents, as she was elected to do. I urge District 7 voters who oppose her regressive attitude towards women and girls so clearly demonstrated in this backwards vote and in her ongoing and abjectly dismal responses to Hamas' barbarities against Israel to keep contacting her office and opposing her performative betrayals of women and girls. Her seat seems pretty secure in this deep blue district and she handily won re-election in 2024 against no serious challenge, but there's no excuse for voters who stay quiet on her moral confusion here.
This highlights the problem with the trans issue. When people like us talk about it or bring it up in conversation, we get called 'obsessed' and they stop listening. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, so I only bring up The Issue once in a while with friends and family. If I keep harping about it, friends and family stop calling and tune you out--the first step in Cancellation.
But then they watch the news or hear something from the Democrats, and they take that as factual--because they have been led to trust those sources. Me? I'm just someone they know who is talking, but a sound bite from AOC or NBC carries more weight. It's frustrating. They will negate everything I have ever said/written because they heard this 'new information'.
I, like you, have tried to shut up about The Issue around friends but I have noticed more trying to engage with me lately as they are clear on my positions, having “harped” about the issues for years. Hopefully that starts to happen with you also.
Men competing in women’s sports is the easiest fight to win in taking down Gender Ideology IMO as an overwhelming majority of citizens do not support this and they don’t need a study to tell them it’s unfair.
Do you remember the political Tshirts we used to wear in earlier gay rights activism when we were silenced? You know, the “Nobody knows I’m gay”, etc ones? They were highly effective because we walked them on the streets. Some were quite humorous but they definitely served as ice breakers to difficult conversations that needed to happen.
This is why my closet is full of branded Tshirts and ballcaps (including some from XX-XY Athletics). A remarkable thing started to happen as I often forget I’m wearing one when out and about and I’ll notice people looking at me, smiling at me and trying to talk to me so I’ll think I’m having a fabulous hair day or something. But no, it’s the Tshirt and I know because they’ll ask about it.
I agree, fleeting sound bites carry weight but there is something permanent about something written on clothing or a dinner napkin that carries great weight IMO. Maybe try it: wear the branded message that is needed to take down Gender Ideology, walk it proudly and see what happens.
Now, if I can just convince Jennifer to create and brand a retro cool Bjorn Borg headband, I will be sure to model that on a daily.
oh i love it. we've had some wrist bands and head bands in development but we haven't yet perfect the logo treatment. didn't meet standards! so we're trying to improve on it!
Most of these conversations need to happen at my job. I can't really wear any XX-XY stuff at work, but it did cross my mind that I could wear a bracelet with the logo, and that might prompt a question. 'What does that mean?'
If Jennifer is still reading this: can you make some simple black rubber-type bracelets with the XX-XY logo? I'll wear it every day, everywhere!
Here's the other thing to note: THE ONLY REASON ANYONE IS NOW WONDERING WHETHER SOMEONE ON A GIRL'S TEAM IS MALE, IS BECAUSE THE GENDER IDENTITARIANS HAVE BEEN INSISTING THAT MALES GET TO BE IN FEMALE SPORTS! This never was an issue before the Gender Cult had its way. Now, there are HUGE numbers of males in female sports. Don't believe me? See Hecheated.org The news media, the AOCs of the world, the schools, even coaches all refer to males as "she" to try to hide what's happening; but rational people who stand for the rights of girls and women have fought back. Hecheated.org is a partial accounting, which will capture more and more as people provide data to it. Even the partial tally is staggering!!!!
Exactly this! School physicals and birth certificates is all that is needed, and they do include, not a genital exam, but an initial hernia exam…for boys.
The idea that pre 1950’s gender stereotypes are being forced on children is infuriating. We fought to be able to not play with dolls or wear pink or work in jobs other than teacher, secretary, or nurse (no offense to those professions, which are noble and worthy but shouldn’t be our ONLY choices). To see these psychos insisting that trad female role preference makes a boy a girl and vice versa makes my brain explode.
A question was posed to Dem legislators here in WA, describing the sexual assault of a female prisoner by the man locked in her cell. The legislator answering goes on and on about how proud she is of helping poor "Trans women", i.e. men who claim to be women. She talks about how Dems had to amend our state right-to-know law because we gender critics apparently wanted to get access to x-ray photos of prisoners showing their genitals. (What happened was a woman filed a right to know request to get the NUMBER of men in women's prisons. The filer was sued, and state Dems immediately amended our state law to prevent access to that information. I never heard of this nonsense about x-ray photos til now. Notice that the trauma of the female prisoner is not mentioned even once by the Dem legislator! The female prisoner has sued WA. May she win!
We were proud parents of a female athlete who could trash most of the boys in any sport she tried. Definitely a tomboy who kept her clothes in an imitation Green Bay Packers locker we installed for her. But we never felt the compulsion—apparently quite common on the Left—to have her mutilated to enhance our cocktail conversation. As it turned out, she became a lesbian, but we never cared about that either. Children shouldn’t be a fashion accessory or a comment on their parents’ weak egos. They should be whatever they want. And BTW, she is still a knockout in an evening gown.
Thank you for including the v3.3 pictograph of the “Gingerbread Person” which has been used to teach school children about Gender Ideology in SOGI 123 eduction. Does anyone know where this came from and who modifies it? The only website referenced is a blank website.
It’s important for everyone to study it because IMO it raises such serious and troubling questions that it ought to cause every thinking citizen to rise up and speak out.

A little confused by the word "gential"
Fair criticism of my typo.
We all knew what you meant. Meanwhile, 'genteel,' is nowhere to be found.
corrected.
fixed! thanks for pointing out!

How do we combat propaganda?
We keep speaking truth. no other way. Truth always outs in the end.
Great question, Gary. Keep speaking the truth.

The things they come up with are increasingly outlandish. See this video retweeted by JKRowling. https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1878823643243020305

Right on! See also, “With Gender Ideology the Left is Shooting Itself in the Foot”. https://brucelesnick.substack.com/p/with-gender-ideology-the-left-is
This approach scored well in some focus group somewhere. Government by Focus Groups!
Yes that is probably it. You're right.
It’s hard to be that stupid. AOC must have worked nights to come up with that one.

Is it time for us to create our own pictograph?
Here is where i got it:https://www.itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2015/03/the-genderbread-person-v3/
This was great! Was cracking up reading it and your perspective is dead-on.
Exactly. I made a post for Reps AOC and Jasmine Crockett, asking whether they favor crossdressing fathers to "identify" as mothers:
