    I disagree with you on the trans issue. The fact that HE has to take hormone blockers, tells you everything you need to know about him not beingba girl. If he wants to participate in sports, he should petition them to create a trans team. Don't encroach on real cis girls who did not require transitioning to be one. Let girls have their own sports and keep boys out of them, yes including transitioning ones. What if he forgets to take his hormones? Are you risk some girl seriously getting hurt because of him. Please come back to reality. Nevertheless, I agree with y'all on the other issues, just not this one.

    Speech to text, let’s be clear them allowing Trump to fire any agency head, but not the Fed is entirely contradictory, but the reason they did it is because if he tells Brendan Carr that he needs to tell ABC they have to fire Jimmy Kimmel or lose their license and car doesn’t do it to fire him and bring in a stew who will and that’ll be bad for a lot of reasons, but it’s not gonna cause a recession if he fires the Fed for refusing to drop rates because it would trigger a depression and an economic collapse and were able to bring in someone who would be a student who would do that and did cause a depression and an economic collapse that would be bad so they’re not willing to completely destroy destroyed the country just mostly destroyed the country

    so coach K is arguing that there are some inherent biological differences but also that hormones have nothing to do with it. all you have to do is get the right kind of intersex person in court and you can make them flip on that point lmao, it's so obviously post hoc

    the unitary executive should not be described as a "legal theory" because it means nothing and is self inconsistent, it's clearly a bunch of jealous midwits trying to create a dictator and pretending like it's just "conservative legal theory" obfuscates what everyone can plainly see

    Thank you so much for your analyses! Your explanations of these legal arguments make them much more understandable to me. Keep on doing what you do. It means everything. ❤

    The state has a compelling interest in maintaining the integrity of the category of woman as based in biological sex. Men and women have a right to be compared only agianst other men and women in sports and man and woman are biological categories not social categories that you join by identifying as them. This decision basically said that any time a sex segregated space is legal inder civil rights law its based on man and woman as physical biological categories because its only ever legal when the bodily difference are relevant this case was a huge rebuke of self id ideology

    I am confused. Trans and LGBTQ people, women, black people, etc r being discriminate by this system. Why don't they band together and work with one another instead of hitting hard on the others when it suits then and get the privilege for it?

    I cannot complain or feel bad for them, they vote for this as well, let's not forget it.. most of them did.. if my brother votes for a system that hurts me, he is dead to me..

    Am I the only one that gets pissed off when I hear about congress and the Supreme Court or any part of the government going on recess. It feels like they all make a bunch of money and do nothing.

    I wanted to throw hands when I kept seeing vids with variations on the theme of 'republicans are FREAKING OUT over ___ SC decision!!', they won FAR MORE than they lost: most importantly they won the ones that would further polarize the country (trans hate) to further calcify their base, and lost the ones that would 100% have cost the right votes in the midterms, namely birth right citizenship. Even the narrow split stuff was probably deliberate to placate the crazies who want to go too far, this suggests 'just vote us in a one more time and we'll have enough SC judges to cheat anything you, our base, want', it pointedly doesn't remove hope among racists that they'll get their way sooner or later, this was all a play for votes in the midterms that are terrifying the right, they can't afford to lose this and they're tracking for one of the all time loses, having shrunk AND demoralized their base with almost 2 full years mixing incompetence with malicious intent.

    Look, there is a difference between adult males and females with testosterone giving males certain physical advantages. If you have been having puberty blockers (like the woman mentioned) you are not going to have that testosterone advantage though. Probably the best way to handle this is how the international athletics organisations are handling these issues (as there have been a number of people participating who were born with both sexes and have had a testosterone advantage): they require that the participants have a testosterone level that is lower than the set amount. This helps not only with moderating the ‘testosterone advantage’ as well as with testosterone blasting and other drugs that will give physical advantages….
    Whether this should be implemented for teenagers is another story? Not too sure what the answer is once a team or athlete in a schools competition reaches national levels, BUT throwing out the whole question due to overt, raging sexism is NOT the way to handle school sports! I really don’t see why trans youngsters should not be playing in whatever team they can gain entry to!
    I say this within the context of schools themselves specifically using testosterone levels as a means of picking who is in a team – especially in football where youngsters who have already started their growth spurt are guaranteed to be chosen over boys who have potential but have not started maturing.
    It is time to stop this insanity towards a tiny, tiny portion of the population who are not getting in the way of the rest of the population anyway.

    Leeja, I just want to say that there are things we do for our children that should not be judged as selfish.

    My wife and I made the decision to emigrate and came to Australia from the USA in November. We did it for our children. A girl child, children of queer parents. We felt that if we could give them a better life somewhere else, that is what we owed them.

    We too feel bad for leaving. We too have caught some slack for it. But we decided that the current shit show SCOTUS was laying legal framework that would probably take a generation or two to change.

    It’s ok to think about the future of your family. It’s ok to have a better life yourself.

    Little by little, the Trump regime, the architects & supporters of Project 25 & the oligarchs are all moving the pieces into place so that America can become a country under authoritarian rule.

    Sad to say but at this point for Europeans it's more surprising Trump didn't get majority support. Anything less than jailing Trump and undoing everything he did won't convince the rest of the world that there's hope for the US still.

    Still fked up how USA treats trans people. See, I'm the token intersex born with pp and ovaries, ovaries had to go for obvious reasons shortly after birth. I had testo given for puberty. But because of some USA laws I'd be doing sports with girls. Madness.
