Welp, here it is. World Athletics is going back to mandatory sex testing for all women. This is something that was done for years, but abandoned in the 1990's because it was invasive, discriminatory, and also useless. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...
World Athletics to introduce mandatory sex testing for female competitions
Sebastian Coe, president of World Athletics, says the governing body feels the mandatory tests for athletes are "a really important way of providing confidence".

I think it’s important to realize the Atlantic editor is ex idf and has a history of promoting the US imperial line not because it’s a “conspiracy” but because it’s good for people to know Pete H doesn’t have his number on signal by accident, but only added him to that particular chat by accident.

I started pitching Hit Singles in 2016.

I thought it'd be the next thing after Wolf 359.

It took 6 years for someone to buy it and another 2 years to make it.

Takeaways? 1. don't give up! If you believe in a story, keep pushing for it to get made 2. I'm DYING for you all to listen to this series!

This is truth. SO many of you have no idea the sputtering, wild-eyed meltdown you would trigger.

Criticism means nothing coming from marginalized person; they've already decided we don't matter. But YOU? You're supposed to be on THEIR side. And I can almost guaranteed they just assume you are.
Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

Slate [Feb 2] -- Purpose of Trump multiple Executive Orders is to "create Jim Crow for trans people" by "fully disenfranchising them from society on a scale not seen since Jim Crow" (e.g., the legal racial caste system mostly in South from Civil War to 1960s).

“Why is Elon’s coup not on the front page of the New York Times???”

idk, probably because the NYT is a puzzle game app that happens to also release articles about how trans people aren’t real but are also somehow a menace. It’s like asking why there isn’t a sonnet printed on your toilet paper
