The end result is that anyone who isn’t properly “a man” will have to show their medical history and/or genitalia just to use the goddamned public toilet.
I am of course open to correction, but:
-
You can be born appearing female, but have a 5-alpha reductase deficiency and grow a penis at age 12.
Medically, this condition is known as “5-alpha reductase deficiency. -
You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, but your body is insensitive to androgens, and you appear female. Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty.
-
You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, and have a penis and testes, and a uterus and fallopian tubes. This another form of androgen insensitivity syndrome.
-
You can be born legally male with an X and a Ychromosome, but your Y chromosome is missing the SRY gene, which gives you a female body. This is a condition known as Swyer syndrome.
-
You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but one of the Xs has an SRY gene, which gives you a male body. This another form of Swyer syndrome.
-
You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes - and also a Y chromosome, which gives you a male body. This child would be “intersex”, another form of Swyer syndrome.
-
You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but your adrenal gland doesn’t produce enough cortisol, and your body develops as a male. This is a condition known as X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita and affects the development of the adrenal glands.
-
You can be born with XX chromosomes -and XY chromosomes (chimerism).
I remember being inundated with anti-trans attack ads during the last presidential election.
This is a coordinated campaign to attack a vulnerable and long-persecuted minority in this country for political gain. Create an enemy to get people to unite against because they are different and being different is evil. And once people are united against this enemy, they will obey and support you if you continue to attack the bad people. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book.
This is exactly what Brittney Griner had to do more than once to prove that she was a woman when she went to the toilet. I remember an interview where she related how embarrassing an humiliating it was. But is OK to humiliate a woman because she don’t look feminine enough right?

What’s the over/under on how long until that topic ban becomes a full ban?
This White house war against transgenderism in Maine is a nasty little thing with no end in sight: How Trump Is Pressuring Maine to Comply With Transgender Sports Order — ProPublica
Several federal investigations, a research stoppage…and only two transgendered girls in the whole state of Maine competing in school events this year.
Just curious-Has the name “Operation Overkill To The Extreme” been taken yet?
Of course you realize it’s not really about those girls it’s about making an example of any who would offer even the slightest resistance against the Der fuerer.
The Diet (Coke) Fuhrer?
Duh Fuhrer.
Looks like they are targeting us veterans who get our gender affirming care at the VA now.
When I first started transitioning, I did so through the VA and they have been very supportive of me throughout. Looks like that will change. This might not affect me personally, since it seems like those of us who have already been treated through the VA can continue to do so, but this is really bad for veterans who want to transition through the VA in the future.
Now I’m just wondering how long it will take Trump and Musk to cut off my medical benefits and disability pay as well…
That’s fucked up.afyer everything veterans do for our country, providing them with proper medical care is the least we can do.
There’s the problem: You see it as “the least they could do”, and they see it as “the least is what they will do.”
We see “the least we could do” as a responsibility.
They see “the least we could do” as a challenge.
I have always hated how so many troops and vets vote for Republicans.
They claim they support us, but they constantly vote against things that will benefit us, and generally treat us like shit. They only support us in the sense that they like having us around to fight and die in pointless wars, but they couldn’t care less about us afterwards.
I expect the University to fold.
Thomas last competed for the school in 2022!
