      I told my wife islam is really pro feminist, so we’re converting from atheism. At least that’s what the Muslim women say on interviews while they’re completely covered and they all seem to have a nervous tick where they look off stage anytime they talk.

      She seems to think it’s not true! Sounds like she needs her first lesson in Islam.

        I’m not so sure. I think they might need Americans to come civilize their countries by bombing their families and killing their children. Sure, some women will be killed in the process, but it’s all in the name of feminism. And yeah, we might take some oil and resources while we’re there, but surely we deserve a bit of compensation for carrying on the White Man’s Burden.

    I have a name that can be for boys or girls. For some reason, most people assume it’s a girl’s name and act accordingly.

    When I was a kid, my parents signed me up for basketball. Someone thought it was a mistake for a person with my name to be on the boys team and moved me to the girls team, without telling me or my parents. I will never forget the embarrassment when I showed up to the first practice. I quit on the spot and didn’t play basketball after that.

    I like specifying the pronouns.

      My name could me male or female too. When i was little i had long-ish hair and a high pitched voice. A lot of strangers always assumed i was a girl. In hindsight i don’t care and it never really mattered, but i still remember how annoying that was for me. Ironically tho, later i always played in a woman’s team (like volleyball, tgat was like 90% women) because they were nicer to be around with than dudes.

        Children should be taught how the world works. Dont lie to them about the nature of the world. If you dont like what we have to teach the children, maybe you shouldn’t be having them.

        tl/dr: kids should learn from older kids. also school kind of sucky

        sometimes i feel like before kids turn twenty, if you are more than four years older than them you basically can’t understand them at all. so maybe kids should learn from older kids. except they get put in a world where only other kids exactly their age and adults who don’t understand them at all exist. fuck school is what i’m trying to say. except i learned so many important things in school so fuck me i guess.

            I don’t know who ‘we’ is, but it does happen 100,000x on smaller scales with shitty parents. I’m sure it’d be a different story if 90% of adults wouldn’t get in trouble for parenting someone else’s kids these days to make up for the shitty parents.

        And it’s a problem nobody cares about, because if you’re a kid, no one listens to you because you’re subhuman and beneath consideration, and if as an adult you support kids being people, you’re accused of being a pedophile.

      I didn’t see any anti-trans ballot initiatives; there were a few school sports initiatives, and trans can still compete whenever they’d like.

      They just don’t get to pick their team. Like everybody else.

        My state passed a ballot measure defining sex as whatever appears on your birth certificate. Not only anti-trans, but ignores intersex people or anyone with an error on their certificate.

        Note how they always ignore intersex people, because acknowledging their existence is incompatible with a ridiculous binary worldview

          There was an episode of King of the Hill that’s loosely about this, although on the flip side.

        We’re a culture that has influential athletes advertise gambling apps to kids on social media. I 100% guarantee these policies aren’t about the sanctity of sports nor protecting the children. It’s definitely other values that are driving people to fight this hard to legislate trans people.

        Go away with your weird, annoying passive aggressive conservative bullshit.

        I like reality, where trans women can play sports fairly with cis women because every study that relies on measurements (like real grown ups use) shows that trans women should absolutely compete on the womens and trans mens on the mens.

        But for me, it’s deeper than that because frankly enbies deserve to play a game. You’re lame for defending stupid sports scholarships and the entire “school sports ecosystem”. These are all childrens games. The fact you talk with so much vitriol about trans people because of a game shows you have USELESS priorities.

        Trans rights are human rights.

            Plenty of people disagree with plenty of things. I don’t care about some popularity contest, I care about what is factually morally correct. Trans people deserve to play sports in an environment that’s as fair as it is for anyone else.

            IMO all the stakes should be lowered and everything should just be coed.

            But since we can’t have nice things then yeah the science says that taking feminizing HRT evens the playing field between cis and trans women. I didn’t make the rules, cis people did, but now that those rules validate and grace trans people with respect for their gender cis folk want to change things. Not to actually be fair but to humiliate trans people. It’s so hurtful, cynical and transparently hateful

        here’s one.

        if you can’t see how “forced genital inspections” is blatantly anti-trans i’m not really sure how to help you. this is going to result in the tiny number of transgender girls in sports being kicked or shamed off their teams, while simultaneously making things very uncomfortable for all the cis girls who will also be forced to undergo regular genital inspections. and for what?

        the fact that these passed, in supposedly “woke” states, is not only awful in and of itself, but also sets a terrifying precedent for things to come.

          Just to prevent misinformation, this hasn’t passed yet. It’s still to close to call, and King County, the most progressive county with the most people, have only had half their votes counted. The rest of the counties also have 25-50% of their votes left to count. And late-counted votes are usually from mail-in votes, which past years show are primarily Democrat votes in Washington.

          Still, way closer than I would have liked to see

            But it won’t, because if that’s what anyone involved with this was actually worried about then they would be doing that already during a regular physical exam during which they already take a cheek swab. That doesn’t need a referendum.

            This is about trans exclusion and making schoolgirls flip up their skirts for coach. There is no explanation for it that can suggest otherwise.

              Initiative 638 is a 2026 ballot initiative proposing the amendment of Washington state law. The initiative would require students participating in K-12 sports to submit medical documentation that verifies their “biological sex” as female. This would prohibit transgender girls from competing in school athletic activities intended for females, and would require healthcare providers to verify a student’s biological sex to determine eligibility. -Wikipedia

              Does the text of Initiative 638 mention genital checks? It appears to be about making participation in sports based on sex, which may only involve a cheek swab to determine. People are discussing genital exams, but I’m not seeing that in the text of the Initiative. Please correct me if I’m in error here. I just think there is enough fear going around without worrying about things the initiative doesn’t say
