Worth remembering that if it costs the government $4.5b to reverse the gender pay tax, then it costs the women affected $4.5b to leave it in place.

Good job, California. 15 states to go. No child should marry. A child who marries isn’t emancipated, her (and it’s usually a girl) new spouse becomes her guardian. If he abuses her, she cannot go to a domestic violence shelter. She cannot initiate a divorce. She can’t have her own money.

California bans child marriage, even with parental permission

Supporters hail ban on child marriage and companion bill to address forced marriages as “most comprehensive framework” in the U.S.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

As report says, this is an even broader rescission, removing protections for ALL queer people. Trans, but also gay, lesbian, bi, demi, whatever. Any LGBTQAI+ activist worth their salt has been saying for YEARS that if you signal weakness on trans issues, a whole 10% plus of the public will be hit.

I'm not even getting into the science of it because who fucking cares. It's a non-issue that is unlikely to ever affect you. The first sports ban was Idaho in 2020 and nobody gave a fuck before then. Hell, in 2016, the country revolted when North Carolina passed a bathroom ban. It's so dumb.

But if trans girls are "cheating" by playing women's sports, what else are the sneaky trans people cheating about. They're also coming for Title IX. They don't care about women in sports. They want women out of sports. Please, I am begging you, stop falling for this shit.

What's happening is that Republicans are priming Democrats and Democratic voters for more violent forms of transphobia. They're manipulating people into caring about something that is most likely never going to affect them.

Before the NCAA capitulated to this nonsense and banned trans women from competing on women's sports teams, the head of the NCAA told a Senate panel that he knew of less than 10 athletes competing in sports in the NCAA. What are we fucking doing here, people. It's a non-issue.

Save Women's Sports, an anti-trans organization whose entire existence is built around ferreting out trans athletes who want to run rougshod over your cisgender girl could only find 5 athletes competing K-12. Five.

There's close to a 0% chance that your kid is going to end up competing against a trans athlete in a sport. But six years ago, Republicans decided everybody has to care and by the time Roe fell, it was their new chosen culture war issue.

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.

because the plaintiff's actions were illegal. The judgment was enforced anyway because no one showed up to oppose it. Now the Generative AI says to just bring a new lawsuit. Guess what? You can't, because the judgment already happened. STOP USING AI FOR LEGAL THINGS.

Can't recall whose line it actually was but back in 1998, a critic who may or may noy have been Roger Ebert accurately described Martin Cambell's sizzling swashbuckler THE MASK OF ZORRO as a “gift from the movie gods” and honestly ... I could not agree more. 📽️
