I have nothing but sympathy for trans ppl under attack but worth saying Serena Williams, the literal goat of women's tennis, was swatted aside by a guy ranked 203rd in the men's division who absolutely crushed him and Venus back to back. he was two beers deep and had just played 9 holes of golf.

If “cancel culture” is being unfairly punished for straying from political orthodoxy then the realest and most obvious cancel culture relates to perceived criticism of Israel. See: Valentina azarova, Steven Salaita, Kenneth Roth, anti boycott bills/ laws on both sides of the Atlantic…
