@ Kate > “The legacy media have consistently referred to “assaults” or “attacks” on transgenders”

@ Aggie > “I am very surprised that at least one of these pseudo-female posers wasn’t attacked by irate fathers and brothers….the girl that had her face smashed in from a male’s malicious volleyball spike, who will suffer from a brain disability for the rest of her life”

IIRC, all of the alleged “anti-trans assaults” to date have been revealed as hoaxes.
The only people being assaulted are girls and women.

@ Niketas > ” There have been a lot of people pushing a lot of wrong things for a long time now.”

And most of us didn’t realize it because our personal experiences seemed to be unique — hooray for the free-speech internet.

@R2L: that percentage was dramatically smaller than 1%.

It might interest you to know that almost 30 years ago one of my college professors showed me, approvingly, a book that claimed biological sex was invented by Western scientists in the 18th century. The author made that claim using a highly selective and tendentious citation of historical sources. There have been a lot of people pushing a lot of wrong things for a long time now.

My wife just showed me a link to an article about an intersex person who appeared male but had more or less female DNA. That article said there were maybe 2% of the population with an intersex condition, with only 1 in 5000 potentially showing external factors that might show something unusual. I thought Neo had provided a comment or citation in the past that that percentage was dramatically smaller than 1%.
After some digging I found this: https://statsforgender.org/it-is-not-true-that-1-7-of-the-population-is-intersex-the-proportion-of-people-with-dsds-intersex-conditions-is-0-018/

“It is not true that 1.7% of the population is ‘born between the sexes’. The proportion of people with DSDs (‘intersex’ conditions) is 0.018%.
Conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female, occur in 0.018% of the population [1].

The claim that 1.7% of the population is ‘intersex’ [2] includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex [1], and is often wrongly used to back up the ideological assertion that ‘sex is a spectrum’, or that biological sex is not dimorphic.”

Those girls are lucky it wasn’t Biden hosting that ceremony. He wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off.

Now the record books need to be amended so that history shows the actual performance of the female (XX) athletes and asterisks affixed to mention of the pretenders. Burn the crops and salt the fields if you do not want a recurrence.

Our daughter in law was all-state in practically everything, full ride in softball, championship barrel racer. Son was all conf football, b-ball, tennis. Benched 300 in college to pass the time.
Our granddaughters are superior athletes. The younger, when in fifth grade, was beating the boys’ sixth grade cross country doing two miles sub-thirteen. Bored You finish the race and stand around waiting for the other runners, Quit.
All star in softball.
Yet in any contact sport they’d stand a good chance being crippled by some guy who’s mad he didn’t make starting fullback.
Older one, junior in high school, is going to state, last I heard, in power lifting.

And to think of some jerk wandering around their showers, leering.

You have to have some kind of perversion to favor and promote this. Ought to see someone.

Aggie one would think so, but fear of the Left is the biggest motivating factor Dennis Prager might tell us about why not.

I am very surprised that at least one of these psuedo-female posers wasn’t attacked by irate fathers and brothers. I guess it’s a testament to the faith that underlies the system that this process was resolved peacefully, as far as I know. Well – with the exception of the girl that had her face smashed in from a male’s malicious volleyball spike, who will suffer from a brain disability for the rest of her life. There’s that.
