Follows is a commentary I sent to the Minnesota Star Tribune after the Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) were served notice from the feds that they had been violating girls’ and women’s Title IX rights, and had ten days to redress that gross human rights violation.
Anybody who pretends he or she still doesn't get it is being willfully ignorant, and I have no time for the willfully ignorant. I hope they touch the proverbial hot stove and get burned. No sympathy.
“Transgender athletes just want to do the sport they love,” reads the headline. Here’s my theory about how liberals who identify as 100% non-misogynist manage the cognitive dissonance demanded of them: by substituting Lia Thomas for Jazz Jennings. I think their hearts are trained on the poor souls who are so tormented by their innate gentleness that they’ll trade in their effing genitals for permission to join the sisterhood. Which press outlets are willing to set them straight on this? Epoch Times? NewsMax? Even I don’t consume those sources.
Almost always, there are two types of examples used by the media to obscure the flaming Andrew Tate-level misogyny that is at the heart of gender ideology. One is the little 6-year-old boy with adorable long curls who wants to play local rec center soccer. What hideous bigot could say no to that? The other gambit, and this has been used by the NCAA and almost every other sports organization from high school to elite level—a female who identifies as either nonbinary or male or both and continues to compete in the female category. TRAs say, see? No unfairness. Trans athletes belong in sports. There is, in fact, nothing to see. Those are females playing in the female category. Case in point, Gender Justice is sponsoring a talk with recently retired WNBA star Layshia Clarendon, the first "transgender" athlete in the WNBA. Clarendon has spent her retirement advocating for the inclusion of "trans" athletes, the nonsensical part of that being, she was a female before identifying as nonbinary/male, she's still female now and played always on a female team. Somehow Gender Justice thinks people are too stupid to think to themselves, Huh, I wonder why Clarendon didn't stat playing in the NBA, according to her gender identity? Of course every stinkin person with two brain cells to rub together knows the answer to this, as dpes Clarendon
The gaslighting here in Minnesota is incredible. Our local girls softball team lost in the State semifinals to a team with a virtually unhittable male pitcher. When I wrote to the reporter for the Star Tribune and asked him why he wasn't reporting this fact- he wrote: "
We are well aware of the accusations leveled toward the Champlin Park pitcher.
We have not seen any verifiable proof of the accusations made. At this point, everything presented as “proof” is speculation and conjecture, mostly sourced from websites with an agenda.
We report the news as it happens. That is our sole responsibility. There is nothing further to report. those were unfounded and unproven allegations." This is actually not true- there was plenty of evidence that the pitcher was a male. I think I will share this article with him- maybe he will learn what real journalism looks like. Thanks for all your hard work and excellent reporting!
I am just hoping that transqueer ideology is losing the Democrats enough support to cause them to lose elections to Republicans. Because there is no other way to defeat transqueer ideology in the US. The Democrats in (or seeking) office will never back away from transqueer ideology unless and until it is clearly causing them to lose elections.
It is so sad that so many people hate girls and women and are not afraid to show it.
There is a name for these people: Democrats.
Love that you call out these headlines:
Transgender athletes just want to do the sport they love
Far-right anti-trans bigots try to ban transgender athletes from sports
Feds try to steal trans rights to compete in girls’ sports and use their locker rooms
Trans genocide! Trans genocide!
Propaganda at its worst.
Indeed, "Minnesota is a massive, misogynistic mess." Thank you for expanding upon the situation so others can see the situation more clearly.
Not just Minnesota, EVERY blue state. And the entire nation, if the Democrats ever again get control of both Houses of Congress and the Presidency.
Sarah, great article. Good luck getting it published, hopefully without the editorial board deciding what they think it should say. 😊
Excellent post, Sarah.
Have restacked several times, with excerpts.

I have the time to try my hardest to remove the "willfully ignorant", aka Democrats, from any and all political power.

Female Olympic runner Nikki Hiltz (who self-identifies as both "non-binary" and "transgender"), same politics.
Massive Mosquitoes too. Massachusetts is just as bad in the other three M's.

EVERY Democrat in Congress wants to make this the law nationwide. They are ALL co-sponsors of the federal Equality Act, which would do exactly that.
The more people know about gender ideology, the less they support it. It's a huge losing issue for Democrats
