Where is the line drawn on how careful we need to be with our words in the case of someone else’s self identity? It’s getting completely ludicrous, that every statement that gets made needs to pass an ever evolving purity test.

Articles like this are the reason why I check out Jezebel less and less.

God. Was this article a rejected satire from Portlandia?

But you don’t think the Green Wave would approve of the use of their symbols for this cause? Did you contact them to ask? This point is extremely pedantic. 

I like your comments. I think we’re doomed. Easier to eat our own than find real solidarity to make incremental improvements. The right has no problem playing the long game. We have no strategy.

The attention grabbing symbols they’re using at their protests aren’t nuanced enough, you say? They’re protesting in major media markets where they can more easily recruit people to show up instead of smaller ones you say? They disagree on strategy with groups you favor more but not on any goals you say? Well, to hell…

“Then, while forcing people to give birth is an affront to human rights, the repeated usage of gendered terms in this repeated warcry excludes trans and nonbinary pregnant people who need abortion access and care.”

What people are not realizing is this individual was not even a top 500 male swimmer, yet after switching divisions is easily able to secure top 10 finishes across the board. Imagine if a top 100 male switched divisions, he would be unstoppable, and would smash every record and would not lose in a single division, we…

You’re fooling yourselves if you think this is merely a right-wing concern. There are countless parents of young female athletes, liberal and otherwise, who won’t stand for this becoming the norm.

I mean, you point out the issue right there.  You AREN’T ALLOWED to even bring up trans issues without being called a TERF.  

I've always considered myself to be very progressive, but I've felt some unease (not the best word but can't think of a better one) with saying things like trans women are real women, even if they haven't done anything to transition besides change their name and pronouns. I'm sorry but if someone refuses hormones,…

It is more than right wingers that are concerned about trans women such as Thomas competing against cisgender women. And it hardly advances reasoned discussion on the issue to pretend so. Whether it is pure talent and determination that brought Thomas these wins, or the skeletal-muscular and lung capacity advantages…

If you do that, women won’t get within a thousand miles of a gold medal ever again. Why do that, just to placate a teeny-tiny minority of transwomen?

Sports aren’t separated by “gender.” It’s separated by sex. There is nothing wrong with admitting that men and women’s bodies are built differently. All it takes is a look at records to see the difference between men and women’s sports.

Sexual dimorphism is a thing; it can’t be wished away, argued away or dismissed just because it is politically inconvenient.

People honestly believe that their feelings dictate not only their gender but also their biology and that anyone who even questions this obvious discrepancy is a transphobe.

That’s because it’s a man swimming on the women’s team. It’s riduculous to say he’s a woman and belongs on the women’s team. Why does anyone believe this nonsense? Men are men. They can explore their gender expression, but it doesn’t make them women and it’s completely unfair to have a man on the women’ s team. 

Nice East Coast hit job.

Jezebel.com - suppressing the liberal vote since 2007!

ewsom never seemed to take responsibility for the danger in which his remarks placed members of Asian American communities—nor has he addressed his reluctance to re-open nail salons, 80 percent of which are owned by Vietnamese residents of California.
