Apparently the Orwell estate has granted permission for 1984 to be “rewritten” from a “feminist point of view.” The new version will be called Julia, and purports to tell the story from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover. The Guardian’s account of the author, Sandra Newman, doesn’t sound especially encouraging:

Julia will be published after Granta releases Newman’s new novel The Men – in which every single person with a Y chromosome vanishes from the world – next June. …

A world without any men, eh? That’s one way to smash the patriarchy. (Though this novel, coming next spring, may be implicitly anti-trans, as there are lots of people with Y chromosomes now identifying as “women.” What happens to them in this scenario?)

Waiting to see if any of the wokerati even notice, or if it fits just fine into their compartmentalized world view (they pretend not to notice that Muslim countries kill the L, G, B, and T folks, instead of just gently asking them to quit hogging the victim privileges).

Do women deserve funding for athletics in school and college. Sure, but must it be equal to funding for men?

30 years ago, family friends had dads who liked to golf. They taught their daughters. The daughters wanted to play in high school, but there wasn’t a girls team then. The coach, was also the athletic director, demonstrated jerk behavior. He never addressed them by name, unless they were together, meaning they suspected he didn’t know their names. They were in the 9th grade, with a 3-year high school. When practice was cancelled the boys all seemed to know before the parents drove them to the golf course. The girls would find out after getting to the golf course. The coach suggested for uniforms the girls could wear skirts from the pom-pom squad. I’m surprise the dads didn’t offer him a free nose job. His behavior was, still is, unacceptable. But he was the athletic director, and the principal was a huge sports guy.

We as a country are better off with men and women participating in athletics, in and out of school. One reason Colorado didn’t suffer more from Wuhan Flu is they have all these athletic types, there to hike and ski the mountains and whatnot, and are leaders in low levels of obesity

Yes. Excellent. Sports are very good for everybody, and in particular young girls. Not only the being healthy thing, but in terms of learning about the importance of team work, faithfulness to practice, and all that. My daughter benefitted mightily from sports. Girls can be very vicious about non-quantifiable things, such as clothes. “You must really like that outfit. Today is the third time in two weeks you’ve worn it.” I remember some style of jeans, Calvin Klines, maybe. It wasn’t enough that my nieces wore the “right” brand, they had to buy it from the “right” store. Buying it from Walmart didn’t count. In athletics, things are quantifiable—a game of one-on-one in basketball, I’m going to drive the lane and score lap ups on you all day. There is little negotiation: she is tennis number one singles, the other one is lucky to play number three doubles. That is much more brutally honest than the snide attacks on size, clothes, and other extraneous ways people find to make each other miserable. (My grandmother-in-law player on her 1915 girls basketball team in high school. My wife was a guard on her high school six-on-six team. )

Later in life we’ll see men far greater participation in sports than women, say after college recreational leagues. Both genders do things, guys seem to find sports a greater and more diverse driver. However, the swimmer in question is exploiting loop holes. Is it unfair? Sure. But the school gave a scholarship and the athlete agreed to practice and compete. The school and society at large are at fault.

Smart money would say the females should not complain out loud, or the cancel mob will come and get them. They are planning on careers and lifestyles susceptible to mob attacks. Perhaps they may wish to reconsider their participation in such corrupt organizations.

The real losers will be the high school girls who lose out on scholarships because of transfemale athletes, as witness by what is happening in New England.

Men and women athletic differently. Was the demand there? Usually, to create a new sport group some students get together and promote interest. They can go to an activities director and say “hey, we have 20 people who want to play badminton. Can we form a club?” The number will vary by sport. Sure, form a club, play other schools. Enough interest the club get promoted to a sport recognized by the school. With Title IX the declaration came to form teams, and then to find players. Instantly the women were on the road to getting funding and scholarships to match what the men had. The demand was created.

Or, bluntly, start with power-seeking lies, end with being lied to. Duh.

Although it’s usually as simple as XX and XY, that’s not 100% the case. Please see this.

Why should we let them have the satisfaction of renaming reality?
Call a male a male, and a female a female, regardless of the clothing or body sculpting.

Although we call our transed niece “him” out of courtesy, she is still a female with modified flesh, not a male.

However, I would support adding XX and XY to passports, driver’s licenses, birth certificates, and medical records, because having those show ONLY the incorrect biological sex makes a mockery of using them for identification — which is the purpose, of course.
