Allowing males into women's sports improves absolutely nothing for women. It's singularly to benefit males.

Excellent piece by @juliaofToronto on current - often unexpected- state of GLP-1 therapeutics. No one (even me!) could have predicted where this has gone and much still remains unknown. @danieljdrucker @NYTimes nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Yes Megan Rapinoe, we are trying to "whittle it down" to a certain kind of woman. The real kind.

I won the Arcadia Invitational as a girls' champion. Last weekend, a boy won the girls' long jump there. We have to do better for our daughters.

@bourne_beth2345 @eburns24_burns @CIFState He's a clown. 🤡

@eburns24_burns @CIFState Yep. Here’s another pic from Saturday. Notice he is the only “girl” in full make-up and bows.

🚨@CIFState orchestrated a drag show💋💋 I'm talking about the humiliating circus CIF has created by announcing in neon lights that AB Hernandez is the male "winner" of their drag show, the one in which virtually everyone loses. I would love to say this is peak stupid, that CIF had reached their limit of self-humiliation, but I know better. Here are some pics from this past Saturday's Arcadia Invitational (more photos and video to come). Arcadia Invite is one of the most prestigious high school track meets in the country. California is an embarrassment. *Please read the excellent write up by The Female Category. Link below.

@MarinaMedvin As long as this doesn't turn into a Black Mirror episode.🤨

Poland has robots chasing wild boars in the streets of Warsaw. I guess every region has their own problems... We just have deer and squirrels in Virginia. No robots needed.

@JaneBond462 @JenniferSey I'll have a look at them. Thanks.

@IronHeaver @JenniferSey Mr Snark & I are fans of Duluth Trading. Superb quality, classic styling like Lands End had before they merged with Sears.

People like to talk about how Nike has taken a nose dive, and it has. The stock is down 68% in last 5 years. But look at VF Corp - owners of North Face, Vans and Timberland. Stock was ~$84 5 yrs ago. It's about $18 now, down 78%. Vans has collapsed. The Supreme acquisition was a disaster -- they overpaid and Supreme was always going to be a flash in the pan. High debt load overall. The North Face got caught up in being fashionable for a while, and is now fighting to get back to its performance roots. It's not all "go woke go broke" but that hasn't helped either. Because it puts a brand out of touch with a broad customer base. Once great American apparel companies are losing their way.

@neworder Very deserved.

@GenerationIron Paul Dillet ?

Guess who? #bodybuilding

One woman cannot consent for other women, and if a woman does not like the idea of women’s sport & is desperate to play on a team with men she is welcome to play on a unisex team. She is not welcome to take away the women’s sport.

@HolocaustMuseum 🕯️

These Holocaust survivors lost nearly everyone they loved—just because they were Jewish. It's not a conspiracy. There is no debate. Reply with a candle to show you will remember. 🕯️

@lippyent South of Sunset

Extremely Hard one! 🚨 Can you name this TV Series 📺 from just this shot? Hmm 🤔 ?¿

@Smuncle39 @JenniferSey They used to cut sweats so much roomier. Old school cotton sweats, and T-shirts were so much better.

@IronHeaver @JenniferSey I've found the last year or two that a lot of things are poorly sized. Some a few years old fits way better the the same size of something new. I'm finding that I need to but at least 1 size bigger and sometimes 2 sizes bigger.

@AdamWilday @JenniferSey Hanes still makes cotton tank tops.

@JenniferSey I am still wearing 15 year old Champion tank tops because geniuses have decided American men do not want 100% cotton tank tops.🤪🤡🤪🤡

@zvonimirtot Absolutely. I've read every story. My father left me several sets of the books. (including the 2 volume annotated set edited by Baring-Gould) The Granada series with Brett is the best. He was brilliant.

If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, do not - for the love of all that is holy - watch the Robert Downey Jr./Guy Ritchie trash. Back when they came out, I lasted about 30 minutes through the first of the two trainwrecks. When Hollywood tries to "improve" literature, nothing good ever comes of it. You won't fare much better with the four (mercifully short) seasons of Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s a very good actor and the series is generally well made, but it suffers from the fatal flaw of trying to "contemporize" a Victorian-era narrative. Instead, do this: 1. Read Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. 2. THEN watch the beautifully produced Granada Television series Sherlock Holmes (1984–1994) starring the brilliant Jeremy Brett.

If Megan Rapinoe had to play soccer against men, no one would know her name.

Great rebuttal of the “Phelps Gambit,” which is used disingenuously to argue the following: 1. Michael Phelps has large feet and wingspan, giving him an advantage over other men. 2. This means that there is *actually* no level playing field even within the male category. 3. Since the concept of level playing field is bogus, men should be allowed into female sports. PROBLEM 1 - FALSE FRAMING “Level Playing Field” does NOT mean all bodies have to be the same. It DOES mean that all athletes in a particular category compete under the same conditions at the moment of competition. The fun of sports competition is to watch which type of body succeeds WITHIN a given category at that moment in time. PROBLEM 2 - CATEGORY DEFINING Sports categories are based upon #BiologicalSex NOT foot size or wingspan. For any particular age or school level or sports league the category options are two: Male or Female. All athletes WITHIN each category compete fairly with each other under the same “field” conditions. Whomever wins is of interest because we learn about what gave that person the edge. If “level playing field” meant that we were all identical robots it would not be interesting. PROBLEM 3 - ARGUMENT DEFEATING The “Phelps Gambit” falls on its face, when one plays out the argument to its logical conclusion: IF the #SexBoundary is bogus there should be no WOMEN’s category for a man to self-identify into. Sports would be all one big category - no age limit or anything. That man-who-identifies-as-a-woman would have to compete against the very best males. DOESN’T WORK!! It’s the “Phelps Gambit” argument that is bogus NOT the category boundaries. Why not just #RespectWomensSports ?

@SydneyLWatson Yeah. Lois would have fought for her daughter.

Actual Malcolm in the Middle, the real show, not this horrific reanimated corpse, would have used the "nonbinary" kid as the butt of jokes. Lois dreamed about having girls. There is no fucking way she'd have one and immediately be cool with her being a they/them.
