I always use the classic “well, we’re not giving everyone Christmas jifts now are we?”

So, how exactly do you pronounce “Gizmodo”?

While we applaud Cox for his small mercy, it’s also clear that empathy for trans kids and their parents is not the governor’s primary motivation.

All of us, especially those of us in power, must have far better things to do than policing the “fairness” of girls and women’s youth sports.  This is way too much energy (and the energy is way too hateful) to spend on competitions about how fast you can run or how good you can kick a ball or whatever the fuck ever. …

I like the Hebrew National jumbo dogs. They aren’t cheap, and you only get 4 in a pack, but they’re almost an inch in diameter and super meaty. They make all the other skinny hot dogs seem lame afterwards.

This is why, while I support humanitarian efforts for the people of Ukraine I find the jingoistic patriotism people are showing in support incredibly distasteful. I’m not going to forget that Ukraine getting back to normal is getting back to abusing and oppressing people like myself. I support the people, no one…

Luckily around here we have Weinerschnitzel for when I’m craving a fast food hot dog. I think they’re only in the west though.

if youre talking about the subaru owner... fortunately he lives in california, and insurance companies cant just straight up drop people like that. and they wont, because that’s an even bigger lawsuit...

Ah, so Republicans can be nominees now and can form leadership committees now and raise unlimited funds now, but Democrats are not nominees nor can they form leadership committees until never. Makes sense.

Don’t lump all Polish people in with their government. Lots of people are not ultra Catholic and conservative, unfortunately opposition parties haven’t been able to get elected in big enough numbers and these repressive right-wing governments in Eastern Europe have really stifled the media and opposing voices. If…

Most everywhere east of the Elbe river is like this.

Comparing and contrasting her times before/after HRT is illuminating but unsurprising.

Far be it from any transphobic moron to actually consider what going through hormone treatment is like or anything here, because sports are sacrosanct but also only sacrosanct in moments when we’ve decided they are - as if people…

You don’t even remember any details over this story about these two trans athletes, so I wonder why you cared at the time or why you care now. Do you make a habit of policing the fairness of random high school athletic competitions?

I will support my country in any situation without thinking for a second!

Yeah, I have to admit I’m a little surprised at how for some liberals the simple idea that trans women are women can’t even survive the possibility that every once in a while a trans woman might swim several hundred yards slightly faster than a handful of cis women.

Those “residual physical advantages” really just amount to things like height and wingspan--not muscle mass or bone density or anything like that. And at that point we’re just talking about banning tall women from swimming, which is how you know the conversation has gotten particularly ridiculous.

As soon as I saw the 1st headline celebrating her win, I KNEW the GOP and the rest of the right-wing fascists would be getting their panties in a bunch.  How boringly predictable.

I’d bet my life’s savings that none of them could name last year’s winner of the 500 yard women’s NCAA title without looking it up.

The interesting thing to me is that none of the people who could theoretically argued they were most impacted by Thomas’ inclusion like the women who finished 2nd-4th in the 500 seem to be the ones complaining. So far, I’ve seen anonymous complaints from a couple of her Penn teammates, though the only two Penn…

If I was that girl’s dad, you’d have to put me in prison for the rest of my life after the violence I would commit to anyone I could find involved in violating my daughter. Holy shit those people are animals.
