@ronnieagabajr Queer is a homophobic slur that means exactly the same thing as F@G. It's as bad as the N-word.

@AreaMan_ @jessesingal The old 'borderline illegal' argument seems to lack a scene of the crime, or do we clutch our pearls on faith?

@jessesingal Remember that time Ken Jennings had to flee Twitter because he wrote something so colossally wrong that it was literally borderline illegal? Shit…sorry…my bad - that was you

1/ ATTENTION: I am now in a fight with Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings, in the sense that he posted about me once on Bluesky and I have written a long response. Joking aside I think there are some pretty fundamental issues at stake here and I vehemently reject his approach.

@arty_burton @VisionaryVoid I see what is in common. Both were world records. Florence Griffin Joyer's 100 meter dash world record is 38 years old and has been beaten hundreds of time by men. But ZERO times by *any* woman. She's an undefeated world champion.

@VisionaryVoid Umm, you do understand the difference between Bannister braking FOUR minutes versus Leather’s breaking FIVE minutes … right? As in FOUR is significantly less than FIVE.

The Woman Who Broke the Barrier Nobody Noticed. On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister ran a mile in under four minutes. The world lost its mind. Twenty-three days later, a 21-year-old chemistry student named Diane Leather ran a mile in 4:59.6 at the Midland Championships in Birmingham, he first woman ever to break five minutes. The world barely looked up from its newspaper. Leather had only started running two years earlier, inspired by watching the 1952 Olympics on television. She joined the Birchfield Harriers in Birmingham, trained under coach Doris Nelson Neal, and within months became the national cross-country champion. By 1954, she was rewriting what was considered physically possible for women over distance, a feat medical experts of the era openly doubted could be done safely. She didn't stop at one barrier. Leather broke her own record five times, lowering it to 4:45 by the end of 1955, a mark that stood for seven years. But here's the thing: the IAAF refused to officially recognize the women's mile as an event until 1967. Her times were classified as "world bests," not world records. The Olympics didn't even include a women's 1500m until 1972. Leather retired from running at 27, married, moved to Cornwall, and spent decades working in social care. It took until 2013, nearly sixty years, for her to be inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame. She died in 2018 at age 85. Bannister got a knighthood. Leather got a footnote. History has a way of losing things in plain sight.

@VisionaryVoid In 1982 when Fresno State lost to UCLA in the FIRST NCAA softball title game, The Fresno Bee newspaper filed a mini-box score that took up two inches of space in a single column among the sports scores.

@CosmicSkeptic Has "criticism" been replaced with "hate". They mean completely different things.

I’m getting a lot of hate for this reel. What do you think? (P.S.: if you say “but we have evidence for dads I believe you have missed the point.)

@TulikaBose_ I look forward to seeing your data on that.

My hot take: there are too many trust fund kids in journalism these days — and that’s why it’s failing as an institution

@JamesCantorPhD The author is having a statistical seance with his null effect, trying to raise it from the dead. Grok called that "Null Nugget Necromancy".

One can torture data or just put words in its mouth. A meta-analysis looked at cross-sex hormones and suicide/suicidality, found no effect (p=.45, 95%CI -1.28 to .56), but said it: "pointed in a negative direction...suggesting a possible but not definitive protective effect."

@atouchmore “Queer” is the fraternal twin of “fag” Stop your homophobia.

It’s less about asking the questions and more about building a space where self-expression can truly thrive 🎙️ 📺 Watch now: togethxr.co/ATM85

@stellaomalley3 @splcenter It's not captioned.

Delighted to see this. The @splcenter have been out of control for years

@DontAtMeDD @dandakich You’re an idiot.

Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird broke up 😱 Yea… @dandakich called it 😂

@atouchmore Megan abandoned ALL women when she advocated allowing men to replace women in sports.

With so much love 🫶

@RobHeinze @NoContextHumans 2026 (Post-covid) is telling 2019 (Pre-covid) what we did to confront covid (2020). Or you could say it's Post gender-ideology (2026) telling Pre gender-ideology that kids as young as 12 routinely elect to amputate healthy body parts so they can like themselves.

@NoContextHumans I'm so dumb; I don't get it. What are we seeing? What's the difference?

I’ve never seen anything more accurate

@benryanwriter James was the inspiration for Alice's Dreger's analysis that transwomen may be "too dangerous to work with" as mental health patients. She documented the reasons for that conclusion with Andrea James' own behavior. Yikes!!!

Jesse Singal was an editor at New York magazine when he started covering youth gender dysphoria in the mid-2010s. He started Substacking years later. But the truth has never been particularly important to Andrea James in her effort to smear reporters for doing their jobs.

@AlanLew56185276 @CFKSherry @AriDrennen I hope this will help, genius. There is video of Griner at home running around her swimming pool topless in panties that leaves nothing to the imagination that everyonebut you seems to have seen. You’re welcome.

Griner is male by all observable metrics. Physically. Emotionally. Behaviourally. The only reason he hasn’t been outed is the same reason Caster Semanya and Imane Khalif were allowed to compete (and win) gold medals 1. Political correctness 2. Political ideology 3. Gender ideology 4. Racial ideology 5. Legal exposure should the truth be proven I hope this helps

The “protect women’s sports” crowd has been using women athletes as props. Now a WNBA star is publicly telling them to stop. Brianna Turner: “Don’t use athletes like me to exclude others.”

@CFKSherry @AlanLew56185276 @AriDrennen Griner is female and slurring her with that idiotic misogyny makes you dumber than her.

@AlanLew56185276 @AriDrennen One thing is for sure, Brittney Griner is not making it into the XX Club.

@AlanLew56185276 @AriDrennen Turner is female and gets about 2 minutes or less (or none) per game with the Indiana Fever. She couldn't get on the floor with Phoenix. She so dumb, she'd happily let men take her job in the WNBA.

@AriDrennen Given it is very likely Brianna Turner would not pass a sex test for XX chromosomes, it’s unsurprising she has this opinion

@AriDrennen There aren't going to ever be any men in the WNBA so I don't know why anyone recruited that dim wit Brianna Turner. What she said makes zero sense. She's never competed with men for a roster spot in her entire life. Thanks to the women of the WNBA she won't ever have to.

@Bounce_BackLoan @JournalistJill What happens when one is lamped? I’ve never heard that expression.

Let's take a step back in time a couple of years to when Kemi Badenoch, who was sporting a new hairstyle back then, lost her shit and nearly lamped an MP when accused of "using inflammatory language to describe trans people". Feisty.
