I, among others, have long felt that the only way to end the inclusion of men (whether physically transitioned or imposters) in women’s sports was for the women to refuse to play along. I won’t rehash the reasons given for why so many have acquiesced in this farce, but one may have been that they were only (!) losing medals, rank / standing, and privacy — and now it’s clear they could also lose their lives.

Female martial artists drop out of jiu-jitsu tournament after ‘fearing for their safety’ and being forced to fight against transgender women at competitions
The backlash has forced the world’s largest grappling association to change its transgender participant policy
Female fighters spoke out about feeling ‘scared’ and ‘unsafe’ during matches
Several women boycotted a competition in October saying they weren’t warned they would be fighting transgender women in recent months
…
It comes as female athletes have spoken out over the past few months about feeling ‘sincerely scared’ fighting transgender women.

Professional martial artist Jayden Alexander said she was left ‘devastated’ after fighting a transgender woman in July and had self-excluded from future competitions to avoid fighting them again.

‘The experience was horrible and scary,’ Alexander said in a recent social media post about the experience. ‘I was absolutely in fight or flight mode and as a seasoned competitor, I can honestly say I’ve never been there mentally before in a match.
…
At first, Alexander said she wasn’t sure whether to speak out, as she feared being labelled ‘transphobic.’

‘The simple fact of the matter is that men, signing up in a combat sport to fight women is absolutely unacceptable. We don’t deserve to have to self-exclude from competitions to avoid fighting men,’ she added.

‘We deserve for there to be rules and regulations put into place that keep us safe and that protect us from these situations happening in the first place.’

They were unsafe. You can break someone’s arm in jiu-jitsu. You could possibly choke them to death (if your hold is so bad that they don’t even have time to tap out).

We are putting women in the position of fleeing from women’s sports to save their lives.

The policy change came on October 28 after the women boycotted the competition last weekend.

This is how it is done. Women have to boycott competitions when transgender athletes are allowed to enter the competition. They have to refuse to cooperate and shut it down. Women have tried to reason with athletic organizations, speaking out about the unfairness of women competing against men in sports. Organizations and schools are slow in changing their socially woke policies which allowed men to compete as women, as though that is normal and fair to women.

Muslim Democrats: Either Support Hamas or We’ll Vote for Republicans in 2024
LOL.
I believe the Marxists would say that the corrupt colonialist Democrat Party is beginning to collapse due its internal contradictions.
…
Remember how fast Democrats turned on their old ally, the communists of Russia, the moment that Hillary Clinton made up a lie claiming Russia cost them an election?

We’ll see what Democrats do with respect to their Muslim clients. They’ll wind up either turning on Jews or Muslims. I guess we’ll have to see which.

PA will pay $2,789,430 to families of 1,500 dead Hamas terrorist murderers, this month
Itamar Marcus | Oct 15, 2023
In addition, the PA will pay $17,590 in salaries to 50 new Hamas prisoners, this month
Total PA monthly payment will be $2,807,021 this month to reward Hamas terrorists for Saturday’s massacre
…
In total, the PA will pay at least 11,170,000 shekels ($2,807,021) in payments under the PA’s “Pay-for-Slay” program to the Hamas terrorists this month. This is a low estimate since as the war continues there will be additional Hamas terrorist “Martyrs” and prisoners. This figure is added to the more than 100,000,000 shekels/month the PA already pays in salaries to imprisoned terrorists and families of terrorist “Martyrs.”

The Palestinian Authority should be sending a big thank you to the EU countries and Norway, currently the largest funders of the PA because the PA could not possibly make these terror payments without them. These donor countries like to pretend that it’s not their money rewarding terrorists, but everyone knows that the PA could not reward terrorists without this generous foreign funding. When payments to teachers, police, and street cleaners are taken care of by international donors, the PA has the hundreds of millions available it needs to pay for terror.

An honorable partnership.

Readers here will recall that Trump ended any aid to Gaza and the PA because of “pay to slay” and Biden resumed it immediately after inauguration.
He only has Israel’s back because he’s looking for the best place to stick in the knife.

It’s possible that this is the ACLU’s thinking, especially since they can appear to support Free Speech (and I agree with all their positions, as does Turley), knowing that it won’t make any difference because the judge’s order will stand long enough to damage Trump, which is apparently her objective, even if the Supremes strike down the gag order later (IF they do).

However, they could also be hedging bets against an eventual return of the GOP, not wanting to have such a broad order as precedent that could be used against their own side, given the Left’s penchant for virulent invective when on the defensive.

I would suspect some of both.

It won’t survive the Senate and Biden would veto it if it did, but at least the GOP House is doing their job for a change.
