What XX-XY Athletics REALLY stands for.

The Heritage Foundation got trans women out of women’s sports. Now they want to fundamentally change women’s sports in ways that will eliminate more women. My latest in @outsports.com

Since when did adults picking on kids become okay?

Why exactly is an Olympic medalist going after a high school kid 7,000 miles away?

And of course, the creepy cis are out in force.

Morning thread 🧵 What’s it like to be a to be a trans woman playing a sport in 2026? Here’s a sample. I put up a post on Instagram on my opening day game… and somebody left me this.

I’ve had a few days, and a brisk football practice on Saturday, to think about the IOC’s new directive. My first thought? The fourth principle of Olympism just got thrown in the bin. 🧵

"Democrats should say F--- trans people"

In a way, these initiatives could be doing the Democratic Party a big favor by taking it off the table. Once progressives decide a group is "marginalized" there seems to be no limit to what they will do on behalf of that group, regardless of the political consequences. Maybe that is noble in some sense but it also extremely self-defeating.
There is just no way to win on proposals such as requiring female sports to allow trans athletes in their competitions and opposition to regulation of vouth gender medicine. which is why Dem candidates always try to change the subject rather than discuss them. No. they aren't the most important issue but dismissing them doesn't make them go away. If these initiatives pass, it will make the issue fait accompli and thus otherwise promising center-left candidates won't be obligated to defend it.

I have "trans friends", and I'll discriminate against them. And I have no problems with misgendering. My "friends" know who they REALLY are!

I have several trans friends, whom I support and sympathize with their struggles. But having biological men competing in women's sports is inherently unfair. That's just a fact of nature. It undermines the whole concept of separate sports for women.

"You people BETTA KNOW YOUR PLACE! IT'S NOT WITH US!...But I'm a "deep blue Democrat"

Many deep blue Democrats like myself really hate trans people, but we want to be polite

Karleigh Chardonnay Webb@karleighchardonnay· Mar 23

If you'd just act a little more white....we'd "accept" you.

This is kind of the end-point of many years of "you can be anything you want to be!" - with the sense of entitlement that goes with that. Problem is, sometimes you just can't.
1 remember when the bruhaha over Lia Thomas was going down, I had a niggling thought: Why couldn't Thomas have waited? If she (I'll grant the "she" here) really wanted to continue her swimming career, she could continued on the men's team and waited till she had graduated and not taken on the whole mess.
But she was apparently desperate to transition. Then and there. OK. She couldn't have called it a wrap on her undergraduate sports career? She was something like 400th in the rankings among the men-that is something, but perhaps not compelling enough to postpone her transition for.
Of course, having transitioned when she did, she became a medal winner and a star.
We have (or had, things are changing) become a society where it was like, Thomas should not have to give up anything! She "can be anything she wants to be!" She can shoot for the stars! Whatever the cost to others.
1 think in general, our society is suffering from a lack of boundaries and maturity. Like, some things are worth it, some aren't. Some things are real, some aren't. Some valuable things come with a cost, so you have to be willing to pay the cost. Even as a Democrat and liberal, I feel like in a broad and general way, we (all of us, all sides) are paying the price for years of magical thinking.

When have the Democrats ever put themselves on this "hill", let alone "die" on it? Common "liberal" refrain... "I'm as Liberal Democrat as they come, but I hate transgender people as much as the Republicans do."

I'm a full on liberal and also an athlete. Males should not be competing with females unless they are under something like 10 years old and there are not leagues available for both. That said, this idea that it is running rampant across the country is complete NONSENSE and the textbook definition of a wedge issue. Liberals will always fall for republicans baiting them with these types of wedge issues. Trans folks need protections but this is not the hill to die on.

XX-XWhy? At least they’re being honest now about what the $35,000 is for . Oh yes, they’ve raised their bounty. But why are feminists courting the money of misogynists?

Her name is AB Hernandez. She’s a senior at Jurupa Valley high school. You might’ve heard of her she’s pretty good in the jumps and she’s a volleyball player. This kid shouldn’t have to go through the nonsense that she’s going through. 🧵
