Weather Girl

Trans women in women's sports is a top tier issue for humanity because it's a proxy for the following questions: -- Are we liberal society? (Or are we a progressive authoritarian society?) -- Are we a pluralistic society? (Or are we social justice theocracy?) -- Are we a democratic society? (Or are we governed by the unrepresentative consensus of a tiny, delusional elite?) -- Are we a reason-based society? (Or are we a cargo cult that worships idols?) -- Are we a reality-based society? (Or do we treat falsehoods as truths when told by people in power that it is virtuous to do so?) -- Can we put a stop to obvious insanity? (Or are we in the thrall of ridiculous dogmas that no one can dispute because a powerful lobby calls it virtuous to clap along to absurdities and cruelties that destroy fairness?)

The reason a male convicted child rapist was allowed into a women’s locker room at a Massachusetts Planet Fitness was that Planet Fitness has a policy to allow any man who says he is a woman into the women’s locker room and a practice of punishing any woman who disputes the inclusion of any man who says he is a woman in women’s private spaces as a hateful bigot. In this, the corporation is enacting the policy that House Democrats have twice voted to impose on every public accommodation in America and that the Biden Administration’s Department of Education imposed on every school that accepts federal funds in America before courts vacated the rule as violating Title IX and the US Constitution. He was there because Democrats are united in treating the inclusion of any man who says he is woman in women’s private spaces as the civil rights movement of the 21st century. When Democrats say “we can’ t throw trans people under the bus,” they mean “we will force your daughter to change alongside a convicted male child rapist and punish her if she protests.”
