“We didn’t introduce this fight about sports. This was picked by the other side,” said AJ Hikes, executive director of strategy and culture at the ACLU . . . .

The hell you say! Women and girls were not the ones who introduced the bizarre and dangerous notion that men and boys should be able to shove their way into sports for women and girls, so long as the guys say the magic incantation, “I identify as a woman/girl.” This was a fight picked by men and boys to bully and Lord it over women/girls, to steal their places, steal their victories, literally beat up on them, as well as to satisfy the men’s/boys’ sex perversions by invading the women’s/girls’ private spaces. It’s all very angry, very hateful, very rapey toward women and girls.

You poisoned the well by parasitizing the gay rights movement, and bending the LGB victories and good will to your own purposes, to preempt and prevent any discussion or examination of your dangerous dogmas. You mercilessly bullied and harassed any dissenters from the lie that men/boys could be women/girls. You usurped the power, the machinery, and the money-raising capabilities of successful and established LGB organizations to implant your ideology at the highest institutional levels — you captured the corporate and governmental leadership — to impose your doctrines from above, with no examination or vettng of your claims. The hell you didn’t “introduce” or “pick” this fight; you absolutely did, after having done your best to cut the legs out from under any opposition beforehand. You picked the fight, and it was never a fair fight. It was the old-fashioned boys picking on the girls from the very beginning, only with most people cheering you on this time. Misogyny-coated misogynists, with misogyny filling.
