Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

To everyone who has had ever linked modern piracy law to Cicero, I just had to go and double check what Cicero said in De Officiis and I'm fucking mad about needing to do that. I blame all of you equally and you deserve what I write

Worth pointing out the biggest supporters of trans people (which is who bigots mean by “gender ideology”) are bisexual & lesbian women. All the public “concerns” about trans people (phase, indoctrination, regret, etc) are recycled forms of homophobia. This is why LGB solidarity with the T is strong.

More premeditated killing at sea.
The "designated terrorist organization" supposedly operating this vessel is unidentified.
The basis for labeling the victims "narco-terrorists" is unspecified.
Cloaking lawless killing in the guise of counterterrorism doesn't actually make it counterterrorism.
