Exciting news..the University of Oregon somehow discovered that men aren’t women, though I suspect they would be loathe to admit it https://news.uoregon.edu/hormonal-fluctuations-effects-womens-exercise-performance

I'm sure they will have to undergo a struggle session, in which they admit this work is harmful and transphobic. And accomplished on stolen land

Yes, we are fighting a cult, they will not give us anything willingly, they will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming.

But we already knew that.

Victories are still worth celebrating, as is the power and empowerment that brought them about and that they bring more of.

Continuing to passively bitterly complain when we win is not very healthy or productive.

In my state of California, San Jose State University is suing the Trump Admin after being ordered to comply with Title IX. They fielded a male player on their women’s volleyball team, which has spawned much litigation, including by a former teammate and the former assistant coach. Not to be deterred, SJSU is using our tax dollars to sue so they can keep doing this. It’s outrageous.

women never even got fully equal opportunity before the men started colonizing women’s classes

Couldn't we try to GET them to say that they ARE for women-only sports, since they have to be, and it would look better to say it IS for principle? Then when someone takes the executive order away, they might stay as is. This is a chance to persuade them to switch course.

It WOULD look better to say they are all absolutely behind women's sports for women, but their hearts are not in it. Recognizing women and women's achievements just is not in their institutional culture. To be honest, they all seem kind of proud of their misogyny

It's much worse than "their hearts are not in it"; for the great majority, their hearts are completely and utterly devoted to the transqueer cult. And yes they are very very proud of that. There is no zealotry like the zealotry of the recently converted religious acolyte.

Same sort of reactions in the UK after the Supreme Court confirmed sex in the Equality Act means biological sex (not legal sex, gender, self-ID, etc.).

The corporate apologies! The broken-hearted concern for trans colleagues and customers! The above not accompanied by "Oh, God, we are SO SORRY that our gender policies discriminated against women, lesbians and gays for so long! We were wrong."
