Love your writing. My only beef is seeing his hideous mug in the thumbnail for the article. 🤢 Anything to be done about that?

Fixed for you ❤️

As a former division 1 college athlete this is such a non issue. There are fewer than 50 trans athletes across ALL sports in the NCAA. We have real issues to fix in college sports. This isn’t one. 🏳️‍⚧️ Jim Jordan knows about those issues. He needs to be held accountable for his complicity.

*fewer than 10

Do you mind linking where you found that? I saw less than 50, but I want to make sure I’m as accurate as possible. Thanks so much. (If I ever speak to my dad again I want sources. He used to ask me about this constantly. He was obsessed and it was disgusting.)

Sure - it was the president of the NCAA on CSPAN recently:

FFS - I even watched that! Ugh. I couldn’t remember the # so I looked it up today and found 50. It’s not like 50 is a lot, but he said less than 10. Think about how much money has been wasted and how much harm has been done over a non issue 😢Thank you so much for the link. I’m saving it.

Anytime! And there hasn’t been much research on trans athletes (because there are so few), but what has been researched shows trans women specifically actually have a disadvantage, not an advantage. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/58/11/586

@which-witch-ru.bsky.social in case you missed it, you might enjoy this FAFO moment. I’m not going to lie, it made me 🙂. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Fv1vP6/

Really gotta protect the integrity of the sports they don't give half a shit about from the 34 or so trans athletes out there.

I’m reading her book and it’s very good

So first he tells Trans Woman can't compete, now its Cis Woman he wants to sideline, overall both we Trans and Cis Women need to stick together on this, Trans and Cis Men too, we will all play and Trump can go fuck a horse ass

They lie when they say they want a free market of ideas. What they're saying is they want THEIR ideas on the market to be free.

Another reason why this administration is likely looking to dismantle the Department of Education:

“In the absence of the DOE’s enforcement, Kenyora Johnson, CEO of End Rape on Campus, says women and girls may see more barriers to equal educational opportunities, including in athletics.”

If it walks like a fascist and talks like a fascist it probably is a fascist
