Are they really banned from playing sports? Are are they being told they must follow the same sex-based protocols re: sports as the rest of us do?

Trans. Women. Are. Male.

No. They are not. Sex is determined by gametes. Period.

Why is it that men talking about trans women in female sports never even mention the almost complete absence of trans men in male sports? If all that it is going to take for biological men who have undergone male puberty to compete fairly with women is a regimen of hormones, then shouldn’t the same be true of trans…

I am generally in favor of trans people’s rights to express themselves and live as they feel they are comfortanle, but I have to side with FIDE here. I have been a competitive chess player for most of my life and it is my understanding of the world of chess which makes me disagree.

Right? Rare or not, a shit ton of labor (including from her own employer) went into searching for this woman. Small businesses lost revenue. Federal dollars were used to find her AND the fake kid. If it's such a rare occurrence, why NOT throw the book at her?

She looks lovely with the jewelry, but perhaps she doesn’t want to wear stolen jewelry or jewelry “purchased” through other means, and just is required to wear these colonial relics.

We should flood yelp with positive reviews.

Especially after they took their own time to hang fliers and generally try to do the right thing assisting in her recovery. I’d be pissed as hell if I were them.

Seriously, that was such an unnecessarily bitchy take to include. The staff were all so sincerely worried about her but trying to keep on trucking regardless while ALSO helping with efforts to find her. Plus they’ve been attacked online for having any association with the case. While my money is on Russell having…

I mean look, in all of this Jezebel had to try and find a different bad guy than Russells. Just like Santa just is ... white, Russells just ... checks too many boxes for them to point out that she’s the obvious bad guy here even after the truth comes out. Like unless she’s gone full MAGA-dumbass like Diamond and Foxx…

Didn’t she Google how to steal from her employer?

I’m sure having to deal with the busiest day of the week at your job, while also having to deal with the fact that your coworker committed a disgusting and heinous crime, would be “really devastating” for all the employees. Not sure why you’re coming for the guy who owns a spa that formerly employed someone everyone…

The small business owner was asked a question by a journalist (you should look up what that is!) and answered it. He wasn’t pushing himself forward, he didn’t say or imply he was most affected by it. In fact, he didn’t use the first person singular at all in the bits you quoted.

You really don't play sports do you?  She tied for 5th place yes but it was at the NCAA championship.  Do you have any idea how tough it is to even get to that level?  Your scholarship depends on your continued performance.  Good grief. You sound ridiculous. 

Pro-tip. If you are born with a penis and testicles, you can never be a woman, and vice-versa.

Because we don't need more online "content". That money needs to go to actual people who have lost loved ones, need lawyers, need mental health treatment, pay for colleges or training. Tamir's mom needed a home, not random people she doesn't know making "content"

Completely agree. 9/11 was literally one of the few attacks on U.S. soil by a foreign threat. Much like after Pearl Harbor, everyone rallied around the flag and patriotism. It was an act of war, albeit not in the traditional “foreign governmental power is attacking” sense. The 2001 response is very distinct from the…

Let’s not lose sight of the one evil, the taliban barbarians, they and they alone and their barbaric beliefs are responsible for the horrors women will face, not white feminism.

This is an absolutely ridiculous take that illustrates the complete lack of understanding of the history behind all of this.
