Given his age they may have determined that watchful waiting may have been the appropriate strategy and it probably was not solely isolated to the prostate and thus not a surgical candidate. I suspect the PSA increased and disease advanced to a point where therapy was indicated.

There are more active Ku Klux Klan chapters than trans athletes in America.
There are more states where child marriage is legal than trans athletes in America.
There have already been more school shootings in 2026 than trans athletes in America.
There are more antigovernment extremist groups in almost every single state than trans athletes in America.

Trans women trying to play in the WNBA: 0
Weird dudes trying to play in the WNBA: 2
It came y'all... My 1st wig! Tomorrow I test it on the court. This is my feminine era glow up, did I slay? If y'all don't "yassss queen" you're transphobic. I really don't understand all the hatred, I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies. 💅🏽

Saying “identifies as transgender for the purpose of playing professional basketball,” is admitting that you’re only doing this as a stunt to mock trans women, which makes you a bigot.
EXCLUSIVE: Former NBA first-round pick Royce White says he's declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft, claiming he now identifies as transgender for the purpose of playing professional basketball.
The 6-foot-8 former Houston Rockets draft pick follows fellow former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom, who announced his own plans to declare amid the growing debate over transgender athletes in women's sports.
White told Fox News Digital he believes he'd be "unstoppable" in the WNBA and suggested he could pursue legal action if denied an opportunity to play.
White said the move is meant to challenge the WNBA to clearly define its eligibility rules for transgender athletes, saying: "I'd like to know what the parameters are."

So what you’re telling us is that the threat to women’s sports was never from trans women and always from loser males?

This is an excellent question and soemthing I have to walk every center/left/very left campaign through at some point, it's important to understand why 'Socialist' sticks, and 'Nazi' doesn't. Though generally symmetrical they function entirely different in practice, let's chat 🧵

Want the root cause of so many problems American homes? How about start with the moldy wood stored outside. Barley visible until recently and thankfully dry wall is not yet up so I can deal with it
“Duct cleaning is treating the symptom. It’s not treating the root cause,” Allen said.

This administration of arsonists is burning down our institutions. And the professionally disingenuous and the naturally incurious won’t care until it’s all ash.
The Senate's overnight confirmation of Blanche on a 50-49 vote leaves Trump's former criminal defense attorney in charge of the Justice Department as the president pursues retribution against his foes. @migold @GlennThrush @hillhulse nytimes.com/2026/08/07/us/po…

President Trump has increased the deficit by around 2 TRILLION in his second term
🚨 AWESOME! Argentina President Javier Milei is being praised worldwide for filing a law to BLOCK politicians from getting paid if they allow the country's budget to fall into a deficit
"For the first time in our history, if politicians don't do their homework, they won't get paid. It's not the people who'll go unpaid — it's the politicians."
🔥🔥🔥
DO IT IN THE USA!
This is BASED, @JMilei! 🇺🇸🇦🇷

I don’t usually get involved in political stuff, but some things need to be said.
Spider-Man and Stan Lee would never support ICE.
Not now. Not ever.
Fuck ICE. 🖕
Head Cannon: Someone in the future found this, placed it in a time capsule, and sent it back to the animator Don Hertzfeldt (@donhertzfeldtco) in 1999/2000. The result was his amazing short...
Honestly, I support this. Granted, it will result in that individual losing access for the rest of the administration, but it would be telling.
Where's H L Menkin or Hunter S Thompson when you need them... though neither would be allowed within a country mile of most Presidents.
I have said publicly or a while that a reporter should ask Trump to comment on Wakanda and say they're pro-tariff and only half-jokingly,
I stand half-vindicated (and with this administration, as I have also said, you cannot make this stuff up):

Trump admin "unilaterally and likely without lawful authority destroyed a large portion of the White House structure and dug an open pit in its place," says a federal appeals court, then "publicly announced to the world the vulnerabilities that self-chosen endeavor has created."
