The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

Every single person we cast out of protections against discrimination accelerates the descent into fascism. And it places a target on their back.

✍🏾 MY LATEST: I wrote about the moral panic Republicans manufactured about trans girls in sports. I decided to turn all my yelling on social media about trans girls in sports into a column.

The Panic Over Trans Athletes is Fake: Opinion
Republicans have manufactured a crisis in women’s sports, just in time for the midterm elections. Democrats should find the courage to defend trans children—or at the very least, leave them alone.

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.

Electoral politics is catharsis. A way to pretend that all of this is just a matter of winning enough seats and it will all go away. And, meanwhile, it incentivizes you to be principle-less and approach it from a "pragmatic" standpoint that makes politics as an actual struggle for power a sport.

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.

That's great, but you didn't need scare quotes. There's no counsel of geniuses vetting the title. Nobody is getting IQ tested to confirm their credentials. It's like "visionary" or "thought leader", it means exactly what the writer chooses for it to mean. Scare quotes implies they don't believe it.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

Also you do not have to go to a SLAC to get a liberal arts education or major in one of the fine humanities or social sciences on offer these days. But you do have to start from a position of thinking there's something inherently worthwhile to them and powerful people don't want you to think that.

Since we’re discussing sexual assault and the rape culture in universities, I remind everyone of Emma Sulkowicz’s Carry That Weight where she carried a dormitory mattress, identical to the one she was raped on, until her rapist was expelled. She sadly carried it an entire year until her graduation.

What’s my point? That men are never justified when they dislike a woman? No. I am saying you should analyze the power dynamics of the situation and ask why, when men are the only ones to identify a woman as a problem, why is it only men? What are their political commitments and actions?

Other men who like to talk about me just think it’s fine that their friends do these things and that the real danger is women like me who know about it and think it’s a problem All of this is a culture where women are objects, not fully enfranchised people, and rape culture is structured by that

These are what the clouds on Jupiter look up close. The small patches of white are cloud tops, soaring above the main, colourful cloud layer. Image from NASA's Juno spacecraft during its 38th close approach to Jupiter on 29 November 2021, processed by Kevin Gill (@kevinmgill.bsky.social)
A complex, swirling pattern of lighter and darker clouds. One large system, angled to the upper left in this scene, is a tawny brown colour and is elongate. Another, more circular storm system is at lower centre, and is a grey–greenish colour. The background swirls are various shades of grey to blue; small, white features dot the scene.
