Woman in high office works to sabotage women
New York state is suing a county to force it to let males ruin female sports.
New York’s attorney general sued Nassau County on Monday to block enforcement of a new law banning
transgenderathletes from playing in girls’ and women’s sports at county-owned parks and facilities.
The issue is not that they’re “transgender” but that they’re male. Males should not be playing in girls’ and women’s sports. (Nor should girls and women who are on testosterone, but for some strange reason that doesn’t come up as much.)
In the complaint, Attorney General Letitia James said the new law, “Fairness for Women and Girls in Sports,” is “in fact not an act of fairness,” but entrenches “regressive and invasive” gender stereotypes.
Like the “stereotype” that males have numerous physical advantages over females? The stereotype that’s not a stereotype but just the reality? And what’s “invasive” is letting men and boys invade and destroy women’s and girls’ sports.
“Here in New York, every person has the right to be exactly who they are free from discrimination, and my office will always protect that right,” James said in a statement.
But what she’s defending is the right to be exactly who they are NOT. Men are exactly not women.
At least the people of New York state are saner than Letitia James.
In a Siena College poll, opens new tab in April, 66% of New York voters favored requiring high school athletes to compete only with people of the sex they were assigned at birth, with just 27% opposed. Democrats also favored such a requirement, by a 52% to 38% margin, while Republicans voted 83% to 15% in favor.
Supporters of restrictions have said transgender females have competitive advantages that make their participation in girls’ and women’s competitions unfair.
There’s a reason for their saying that. It’s true.
Because fuck that ‘assigned at birth’ nonsense.
BTW I never did learn how to put the strike through a phrase.
In any case I would put sex they were *observed* to be at birth.
To strike, type the ‘less than’ symbol followed by ‘strike’ then the ‘greater than’ symbol at the start of the word(s) to be struck, and the same at the end but with a forward slash after the ‘lesser than’ symbol (no need for the commas).
The reality that men are bigger and stronger than women led to the stereotype of women being small and weak – too small and weak to play sports at all, not just too small and weak to play against men.
The fact that we now have a history of generations of women playing sports competently against one another, destroying the stereotype, seems to have enraged and prompted into action many people in different demographics who otherwise would seem to have little else in common.
How does it benefit a woman who has made inroads into a different male-dominated sphere to deprive her sisters of their opportunities? I can only assume that she has calculated that by throwing them to the ranks of misogynistic and cheating men, they’ll be too distracted (or grateful) to come after her for a good while yet.

Thank you
To follow on from AoS, you should be able to substitute s for strike, I for italic, b for bold, and u for underline. I haven’t bothered figuring our sub and superscripting.
