If someone could get Sen. Tuberville a copy of The Fast Track, he could see how policing gender in girls and women’s sports (never men’s) actually makes it harder for the athletes he is purporting to protect.

before trans participation in sports was banned in utah in 2022: • 4/75,000 school athletes were trans • 1/75,000 was a trans girl not that it’s ever been about sports or numbers and not that the number matters even a little but tuberville’s bullshit is so outrageously untrue.

The temptation to duck & cover & hope the attack passes over us can be strong. But ultimately, they'll come back around for all of us. They are out to destroy the American university, which they view as a threat. So we might as well stand up, speak out, & fight back while we still have the chance.

Kudos to The Setonian for solid journalism on the crisis at the school. The piece on student reaction to a new investigation into whether the new president covered up sexual abuse, and a lawsuit accusing the former president of leaking those documents, are particularly good. www.thesetonian.com

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

Was so honored that @janesports.bsky.social asked me to tee her up with some questions to discuss her new book, The Fast Track. It's a detailed, thoroughly researched, timely, and important tome on the history and business of women's sports. (Support authors and your local bookstore!)

What protection! So protected! >> "A sex-screening policy, if it were put into place, would impact over 500,000 student-athletes across the country — in sports like golf, tennis, swimming, and lacrosse — and potentially expose them to invasive exams or require them to submit to genetic testing."

The irrational backlash to a multiracial democracy is making us less safe. Reminder that some movements prefer hierarchy even when it demonstrably lowers quality of life for the disenfranchised and franchised.

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.
