Brett Meiselas: I’m against gerrymandering, but that doesn’t mean we unilaterally disarm. Governors like Newsom and Hochul are right to fight back. Democrats tried to ban partisan gerrymandering in the Freedom to Vote Act, which also included voter ID—but not one Republican voted for it.

World Athletics says that "The SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex." The guy who literally discovered the gene and has spent the last 35 years researching it says they're wrong. theconversation.com/world-athlet...
World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990
World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.
