Cornell, LSU, the Burnerverse, Clavicular…just one week. Men are putting their impunity and cruelty on display so brazenly. Humiliating/punishing women has always gone on, but now rape is networked, scalable, monetized. Our systems aren’t failing, tho, they’re doing what they are designed to do.

33. A Long Read About Living in a World Where Men Publicly Bond over Women’s Humiliation and Pain

From the Burnerverse to Cornell to Clavicular, our society is all too happy to shift the cost and burden of sexual violence and male onto victims to protect men

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The Campaign to Force Genital Exams on Girl Athletes Soon Washington State could require sex-verification tests for those playing sports in schools. Portrait of Andrea González-Ramírez By Andrea González-Ramírez, a senior writer for The Cut who covers systems of power. Those physicals, Maria explains, are usually perfunctory: “Like, Are you walking normally? Are you lightheaded? I have never had to take any clothes off. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or violated.” If IL26-638 were to pass and Maria were still in school, she says she would likely drop out of her team. (We’re withholding Maria’s real name to protect her privacy.) “I honestly don’t know if I would be able to do these tests,” she adds. “It would also make me question, If I do it, are all my teammates going to too? Or would I just play with the three or four girls who are willing to or have access to do it?”

🚨BAD AMENDMENT 🚨 Once again, the GOP is trying to add anti-trans language to a bipartisan bill that was originally not focused on the LGBTQI+ community. This time, it's to H.R. 2555, a bill relating to fraternities & sororities. We urge the Committee to REJECT this amendment.
