In the can
SARAH MCCAMMON, HOST:
This week, the Supreme Court will hear arguments from two separate cases weighing the rights of transgender athletes. Little v. Hecox challenges Idaho’s ban on trans athletes playing on women’s and girls’ sports teams. West Virginia v. B.P.J. challenges a similar ban in West Virginia.
Male athletes you fool. The issue is that they’re male so they don’t belong on women’s and girls’ sports teams.
MCCAMMON: So, in essence, what are these two cases about?
SOSIN: So conservatives have increasingly argued that transgender women and girls have an unfair advantage in sports, that their hormone levels make them stronger and faster, and for that reason, they say, trans women should be banned from competition.
Not just conservatives, and not just “hormone levels”. Males are stronger and faster, in multiple ways. Humans are dimorphic, and male humans get the bigger and stronger morph.
You know, the rest of the country will remain as it is, but I think the bigger implication that we would see is that having your Supreme Court come back and tell you again and again and again that your rights matter less than everybody else’s is a really damaging thing for a lot of transgender individuals. We’re seeing a slow chipping away of transgender dignity, equality and also the law, very, very slowly.
What a lie. Nobody is telling trans people their rights matter less than other people’s. Courts and feminists are telling them there is no such thing as a right to pretend to be a woman in order to take jobs and prizes and services and sports trophies intended for women.
I’m not the only one who is annoyed by this dreck.
The rest of Jon’s rebuke:
Sosin simply *lies* about the research, notably the paper by @FondOfBeetles in SM (2021). But the whole framing is wrong, and the spin that you put on this – on words like ‘ban’ and ‘advantage’ – is deeply dishonest. On this evidence, you simply have no regard for the truth at all. It’s *astonishingly* poor journalism. Your reputation should be in the ditch for this, including among liberals.
Among many of us it is.

Strange how neither NPR nor the Grauniad choose to mention the sexual harassment the girls on B.P.J.’s team endured from the lad. We have to go to Fox for that info https://www.foxnews.com/sports/trans-athlete-center-supreme-court-case-accused-sexual-harassment-intimidation-tactics-against-girls
Shakespeare was onto it, where from memory MacBeth says: “I am in bullshit waded in so deep that to return were as tedious as go o’er.”
