"The brilliance of the people in Chicago and the people in Minneapolis: they run towards the whistles, which is a scary thing to do. After two people have been shot, they run towards them and they start recording, and they've made it impossible for the administration to lie about what's happening."

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."
Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."

I worry that they can empirically prove it over and over again and it won't matter because the belief that trans women are athletically advantaged over cis women is based in hatred (for both trans and cis women) and not in empirical observation. The belief is motivated by patriarchy, not science.
What's that you say!
It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women.

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.
And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.
