Note - this only applies to girls sports. There is no similar requirement before participating in boys sports.
See, this is the part where an opposition party would be flooding media with ads that tie pedophile Trump to a Republican ballot initiative that is trying to force genital inspections of teenage girls.
their end goal is to subjugate women completely and the genocide of trans people is a necessary first step for that to happen. eradicating women's sports is just a consequence of their patriarchal project
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
Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press
A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

"And to be clear, this is all about people, because trans youth are not 'issues,' they are people. Trans adults are not 'issues,' we are people. "
The Missouri AG threatened Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia with total defunding and investigations if they read books with LGBTQ+ themes to kids in a Pride story hour. They did so anyway. Our latest story from s. Baum of one library's defiance against an oppressive Republican regime.
Missouri Library Defiantly Holds LGBTQ Story Hour Despite Funding and Legal State Threats

i still just really feel like AI stuff is basically illegal. like I don't think a good faith interpretation of "fair use" entails vacuuming up everyone's intellectual property to build your chat bot. that sounds wrong to me
TERFs teaming up with homophobic loyalists in the north of Ireland in the name of transphobia is quite something

Trans kids specifically, and trans people broadly, deserve to be able to access health care.
But I doubt you have a problem with Trump/MAGA/GOP attacks on healthcare for Trans people, based on some of your other statements. How can anyone trust you if your support is conditional?
Single digit numbers of trans girls wanted to play middle school soccer with their friends, so to combat this grave threat to women's rights, we're going to abolish all female sports in the country. No need to thank us, ladies.
I can't help but notice that the warning voices, the people who hesitated, mainly seemed to be women and/or people of colour. Will that teach anyone to listen to minority voices? Of course not.
@chicagotribune.com published a piece that says establishment dems must fight back against progressives within the party. The same piece called @katmabu.bsky.social, a Palestinian woman fighting for mutual aid in politics, a "bomb-throwing influencer"... www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
We are living in the dumbest of timelines lol. Now that we know their trading bots are so dumb clearly The Onion needs to game this out and bankrupt some fools lol.
A weird thing I've been grappling with lately is a feeling like some load-bearing part of me was broken by facing my speech issues and putting myself forward as a person more. I feel I was more functional before, but only because I was deeply numb to things that are now making their weight known.
I can’t tolerate the feeling where you’re watching media and think, this is the most pointless conflict I’ve ever seen in my life. I just shut things off right there, I can’t return when I see it
btw before pride month end I just wanted to reveal: I'm nonbinary. okay bye
