As always, crystal clear. I'd add only this: The trans movement is constantly inverting the narrative and calling anything that is not affirmative "anti-trans" instead of "pro-women and girls." In my view, it's profound solipsism, and I hope people will start reclaiming that narrative.
Preach! None of the wnba coaches who spoke defending trans youth addressed Sophie's concern over fairness and protecting girls in locker rooms , and unless I missed it , not one of them even said the word, "girls" which seems to have become the "G word" which dare not speak its name. To watch women coaches betray girls for unbalanced boys is appalling.
The league is at least 1/3 lesbian and most seem to believe q & t are part of the lbg community and need to be defended. I've seen posts here acknowledging that the reason lesbians can't have their own spaces and gatherings is because other lesbians have bought into the whole queer insanity and trans women are women. I could see a similar dynamic happening with the wnba. A white, straight woman has kicked this of by just stating something that is common sense and as far as I can tell had no intention of creating a movement. Who knew?
Thank-you for letting this free subscriber man comment. In high school during the 1970's, I began to only 1/2 jokingly describe myself as a "male lesbian", because attractive girls made my mouth water. Yes, it was partly to get my kicks by humorously shocking and confusing people, and my own alcoholism & drug abuse were factors in my behavior. But real disrespect of women was not part of it. My father explicitly raised me to be a "gentleman".
Today, when I step back and analyze the argument, I see that sometimes, the words "sex", & "gender" are used interchangeably, as if they have the same meaning. Sometimes they are used as if they mean different things. Yes, I do believe that some of the confusion and resulting chaos is intentional on the part of the media-controlling oligarchs.
When they make the specious claim that sex/gender is "assigned at birth", aren't they also suggesting that they believe that fetuses have no gender/sex?
Whether XX or XY, male or female, I believe that the distinction is made at conception, in the WOMAN'S BODY, and NOT "at birth". It is an unchangeable biological reality. No amount of "identifying" can change that reality. I believe that "trans" is no more "real" than presents from Santa Claus. And, I will do what I can to defend girl-women-female only spaces. I'm a gentleman, but not a misogynist. I really do love women, and I wish I could do more to protect you ladies from the predators we gentlemen also have to suffer with. Please, KEEP UP the GOOD WORK!

Great piece!
Thank you, Melissa!

Brilliant take! The spin doctors know how to deflect away from the real argument.
I have to agree!
No to policing and yes to common sense.
