And girls are the Gestapo
Sigh. An act of resistance ffs.
The trans youth athletes in the US fighting for their rights: ‘Playing is an act of resistance’
Yeah right. Boys invading girls’ sports is the maquis itself. Women and girls, obviously, are the Nazis.
As the US supreme court weighs bans on trans athletes, five students speak about the joy of sports and toll of exclusion
Ah yes, the joy for boys of destroying girls’ sports, and the dreadful toll of not being allowed to destroy girls’ sports. Girls, naturally, were not asked for their opinions on this matter.
The US supreme court on Tuesday is considering state laws banning transgender athletes from school sports.
The cases were brought by trans students who challenged bans in West Virginia and Idaho barring trans girls from girls teams. The outcome could have wide-ranging implications for LGBTQ+ rights. A total of 27 states have passed sports bans targeting trans youth while more than 20 states have maintained pro-LGBTQ+ policies.
What “implications for LGBTQ+ rights”? There is no LGBTQ+ right for boys to invade girls’ sports. That’s not a right at all. Even if it were a right, it still wouldn’t have implications for lesbian and gay rights, because being trans is different from being lesbian and gay. Can you say “different”? It’s an important word.
As the highest court in the US debates their rights to participate in school sports
Liars liars liars. The court is not debating their rights to participate in sports.
How does the Guardian get away with this blatant lying? What happened to the integrity of journalism?

Listen to today’s NPR version if you’d like a good scream.
Always framed as banning trans athletes from participating in sports, not banning males from playing on female-only teams.
I always wanted to play sports in high school. Baseball, basketball, hockey. But I was excluded from the teams, merely because I didn’t have the talent. It never occurred to me that I could pretend to be a girl and try out for their teams. (I probably still wouldn’t have made it, though.)
Didn’t stop me from playing sports, but it wasn’t in any organized league.
Perhaps if some non-trans-identifying males started complaining about their exclusion from girls’ and womens’ teams, it would get the point across.
