All this practice does is cement to the industry and the public at large, is that they can tell our stories without our voices.
It’s true, in the past I would have had multiple editors in my inbox asking me to write about the Cunningham stuff. I haven’t gotten a single assignment request. Trans writers used to be tokenized to write about these things but now that the topic is “mainstream,” those bylines go elsewhere.
You'll all be glad to know that the trans woman, who politely and innocuously brought up a legit concern to trans ally Ken Jennings, only to be met with him being dismissive and smug, has deactivated. Congrats all- you bullied a trans woman off the platform.
OK lovlies- sorry for cramming up your feeds with my bullshit. I'm going to eat lunch and then have appointments for the rest of the afternoon.
Someone got in my DMs a few days ago to tell me Clay Travis has put up some kind of bet for a WNBA champion Las Vegas to take on a championship boys high school basketball team if they really thing "there's no difference between men and women."
One of the saddest, most toxic arguments against trans girls playing sports is, what appears to be, a pretty widespread idea among men that men who are just not quite good enough to dominate the upper tier of mens sports will WILLINGLY TRANSITION SO THEY CAN DOMINATE AGAINST WOMEN.
In just over a year the debate about trans people playing sports went from: Kids should be allowed to play sports with their friends to Even though trans women have never dominated any sport they've been allowed to play post high school, we must ban them all to protect womens sports.
I didn't follow the Michigan dem primary enough to know the ins and outs of the candidates... but on an anecdotal level- at what point does accepting huge amounts of money from AIPAC start to become toxic?
No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.
Political disclaimer: I'm a 25yo trans dental hygienist. I've only been able to vote in two presidential elections. I don't claim to be smart. I just try to pay attention and stay as informed as I can. I'm always willing to learn, though.
I think it's rich John Fetterman telling Jon Stewart that DSA candidates shouldn't run as Democrats and should run as their own party. Fetterman. Who ran as a Democrat and votes like a Republican...
Kind of ironic that some of the same "Blue no matter who!" crowd who said any reluctance to vote for a democratic candidate was a "purity" issue, are now saying they won't vote for Abdul El-Sayed...
Hot transexuals in your area are eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch right now.
If you have to tell people, "my issue isn't hate!" there's a pretty great chance your issue is 100% about hate. The fact this man is criticizing Cheryl Reeve is telling. The fact he says her stance of inclusion might hurt a league that's never had a trans woman play in it shows his ignorance.
“Protecting youth women’s sports” is fundamentally an issue about denying trans kids access to medical care btw. Because if a trans girl goes natal through puberty they’re a biological male. But if they don’t they’ve had proper puberty and then cannot be a biological male according to their logic.

i have received a very important message
Angle Reese isn't terrible. Caitlin Clark isn't perfect. And if I was building a #WNBA team, I'd pick Olivia Miles over both of them.
There's a former MLB player named Coco Crisp, and I think that's just wonderful.
Breaks my heart to see the stuff about Levon Helm's company and the stuff with his daughter. 😢
Detroit Tigers fan: So we traded our back-to-back Cy Young winner for a few prospects. Fire sale time? Scott Harris: No. We're only 2.5 games out of the playoffs. DTF: So we're going to address the bullpen, which blown more saves than everyone but the Nats? SH: No. We're not doing that either. 🤗

Ariana Grande is what she is. But I hope every time Ethan Slater looks in the mirror he thinks of the hot, super smart capable, completely out of his league woman that he fumbled away.
The two cereals I currently have in my pantry are Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cookie Crisp...
Speaking of Grape Nuts, and shredded wheat and other gross cereals for grownups... I let slip to my dentist boss that I ate a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch for dinner last night and ---oh the tsk tsking I got from her...
Grape Nuts are always around, but no one is ever happy or excited to see them.
Riley Gaines is if Grape Nuts was a person.
