Comparative obfuscation

BBC version also bad, of course.

They’re not women. They’re men who claim to be transgender – there’s no way of verifying, of course, because it’s all in the mind. How convenient. Can I idennify as Elon Musk and have all his money?

The point of course is to put the poor darling oppressed persecuted helpless men who claim to be women front and center, and demote the women who want their rights back to a shadowy afterthought. That’s always the point.

However, the substance (as opposed to the headline) of the BBC version is more truthy than usual.

More than two dozen states have enacted bans since Idaho did so in 2020.

Under those bans, a transgender woman – a biological male who identifies as a woman – is not permitted to compete in female sports at schools and colleges.

Welp, there it is. A biological male is not permitted to compete in female sports. No shit, Sherlock. Female sports=female sports.

    Ever since I ‘came out’ and started identifying as a giraffe, I have never visited a zoo. It must be clear to understanding zookeers that I am truly a giraffe, and I fear being captured by them, and put in the pen with the other giraffes. I fear that those ignoramuses will not accept me with the understanding that I crave, and truly deserve.

    It is a terrible situation. For me to be in.
