I can think of a way
Oh, hell.
So what that means is that men who claim to “identify as” women must be housed with women, but women who simply are women have no right to be housed exclusively with women. Men must be forced on women and women must not refuse or reject or resist.
It’s just a brazen lie that letting male students invade women’s sports “in no way” disadvantages the girls whose sports they invade. How could that possibly be true? How could senators be that stupid? Or do I just mean misogynist?
Why have trans demands sailed through so easily while in the same government women have not been able to get an Equal Rights Amendment after 50 years?
I’m thinking of a word that starts with “m.”
Because fucking with Title IX is easy and ratifying Constitutional amendments is hard. A future Republican admin (and this helps that way the fuck along, GG Dems) can just fuck it in a different way within a month or two.
I’m sad to note that my own Senator (Tammy Baldwin, D-WI) signed on to this. That Baldwin is openly a lesbian makes it that much worse, because she should know better than to pretend men can be women when it comes to the matter of sex. I just don’t understand it.
I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve been in this position of late: someone with noxious political positions on almost everything (in this case: rape apologist, worked for Roger Stone, served in T***p administration, critic of affirmative action & feminism… that’s just from her Wikipedia page) somehow aligns with me on this issue. She’s no hero for women’s rights in any way that I’d recognize, and yet…
That’s a damn lie. You can’t legislate falsehoods into existence.
I wonder what kind of a reaction it would get if universities started rooming all the trans students together? They can frame it as “ensuring that vulnerable trans students have a safe space against transphobia”.
Piglet — exactly right. It’s such an easy, obvious solution (to that particular problem at least) that the fact that it’s not being embraced by the trans and implemented without debate strongly suggests that simply letting people get on with their lives isn’t the actual agenda. Why not? Because having a trans dorm floor with trans roommates sharing trans showers accomplishes nothing by way of taking single-sex spaces away from women.
Karen Dansky has pointed out that 31 Senators did not sign that letter, including Schumer. I don’t know how these things go exactly–is not signing on evidence of disagreement, or at least of caution, or disinterest, or something else? Could the tide be starting to turn here in the States, at last?
Helicam, Candace Jackson is one of the founding partners of a new law firm created to litigate cases challenging gender ideology. I believe WOLF is retaining them as outside counsel. I was unhappy to see that it is headed by someone who worked for Betsy De Vos in the Trump administration. She is a lesbian, but I can’t figure out if she is truly gender critical or just anti-trans.
