A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Watching so many Democrats wave away sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo—after spending years watching Republicans wave away rape and sexual assault allegations against Trump—is depressing.
Saying that serious allegations of sexual abuse don't matter is morally repugnant.

She will continue to do this. It’s her “mission”.

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.
And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

The U.K. Supreme Court rules that Britain's equalities law defines a woman as someone born biologically female. The ruling means a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.

UPenn just had $175 million in federal funding cancelled over allowing Lia Thomas to swim 3 years ago.
It's not going to stop until they leverage federal funding to push out trans people from academia entirely. This will extend to bathrooms, curriculum, etc.
