the problem with the "trans sports participation is a loser / 80-20 issue" framing is that it ignores how it got that way. it didn't just happen out of nowhere. It's been a 5+ year campaign by Republicans to make it an 80-20 issue, and noone fought back.

We are either ALL worthy of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness or none of us are. We don't get to pick and choose just because it might not poll well.
If women would open their damn eyes, they would clearly see that LGBTQ+ issues are also their issues and we would change the narrative.
This is all about perceptions about gender and pure misogyny.
It’s why I abandoned Vox.
Cruelty is always the point.
Weird
Almost as if yglesias is already on the right and is trying in bad faith to pull, say, a window of some sort rightward
Hell of a gig if you don’t mind being an idiotic dickhead everyday.
Dead to me.
Diversity, inclusion, Equity.
To move right is to suggest white exclusionary selfishness is right.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
(Gosh, that center should be about as impressive as the US obesity stats by now in how it expands, and it also seems to only accommodate right-wing politics.)
Do not support biological boys in girls sports- it’s unfair.
BOTH these statements are true. Dems if you don’t get this- you will lose every time
He is allergic to grappling with any actual science when it comes to trans people.
