Most of these "women" are no more than young white girls that would love nothing more than to show their virtue by allowing a guy playing pretend to beat them. For every 1 that's speaking out against dudes in women's sports, the other 9 are squealing for more. It'll take quite a bit more outrage for anything to change, and I just don't see it happening with the current crop of wokies.

Just an opinion, this is no different to me than any of the following:
- 18 year old competing in a 15 & under class
- Professional Hockey Player joining a college skills competition because he's taking a class.
- Antron Brown entering his Top Fuel Dragster in Super Street because he mounted a tail light and headlights on his car.
- Chuck Norris competing in a white belt class because he doesn't feel in top condition.


There are rules against ALL of this and no one would even begin to question that. Why? Because it is an obvious advantage to any of these individuals. Classes and categories are there for a reasons, to insure fair and equitable competition. Granted if you train harder, work harder, and perhaps have some additional god given talent maybe you can skew the curve a bit. But that is not even close to what this is with the Trans athletes.

Granted, there are events where men and women can equitably compete against each other, and even coed events where they compete together. By in large Men's & Women's sports are separated due to the clear and obvious differences in the athletic ability between men and women.

You really have to wonder what sort of pathetic loser would pull a stunt like this just to win. I'm also not buying that these trans women are doing it for any other reason.

Women need to stand up and end this foolishness.

Just Nuts: History Professor Suspended for Passing Out Candies Marked “HeHim” and “SheHer”

https://jonathanturley.org/202...ed-hehim-and-sheher/



We often follow controversies at universities over free speech, but this week’s addition can be accurately described as nuts. Madera Community College History Professor David Richardson is under investigation as a possible confectionary reactionary . . . or at least that is what the school appears to be investigating. Richardson recently gave out candy on campus from Jeremy’s Chocolates labeled “HeHim” (nuts) and “She/Her” (nutless). For Richardson, the candies have led to his suspension pending official investigation.

Richardson reportedly brought the candy to an open house event for academic programs. The candy is connected to the conservative Daily Wire, which launched the chocolate brand two months ago in protest of Hershey’s naming “a biological male” as its spokesperson for International Women’s Day.

Richardson said that he had some of the candy left over from an earlier purchase and added them to the “goodies” he has always handed out at the history table for the open house event. That led to a confrontation with a staff member.

Richardson is now banned from “non-public” areas and blocked from his email. He says that he was told that he is under investigation for “serious misconduct.”

He insists that it was just all a joke. That may be part of the problem. The age of rage, however, is a dwindling place for humor. Indeed, even professional comedians have complained that cancel campaigns have virtually banned them from campuses.

Richardson told Just in the News that he was informed that the candies reflected a human sexual binary view that was considered a violation of school policies and created a “hostile work environment.” He said that he was also accused of harassing and discriminating against colleagues “based on gender.”

The site reported that Richardson, who describes himself as a gay conservative, is already suing over sanctions for comments made during a mandatory October 2021 “pronoun etiquette” seminar led by transgender chemistry professor Jamie MacArthur.

The incident involved participants being given a “small thumbnail” with fields for their name and gender identity. Richardson jokingly put “Do, Re, Mi” to register his view that the “irrational perception of reality … would frustrate communication for ideological reasons,” according to his complaint.

MacArthur objected later that the “joke” was “extremely offensive” to transgender people. Richardson responded by using “Do, Re, Mi” as his pronouns while addressing MacArthur as “they,” MacArthur’s preferred pronouns.

After a six-month “investigation,” the school found that MacArthur intentionally used “second- and third-person pronouns in a mocking manner” and sought to intimidate MacArthur when Richardson copied others on a response. In addition to a letter of official reprimand, Richardson was ordered to “immediately stop using pronouns in a mocking manner in the workplace” though the school did not define “mocking” conduct.

It is not clear if the school views the candy as a “mocking” incident for a professor effectively on probation from the earlier joke.

Richardson was also ordered to take diversity, equity and inclusion training. Finally, he maintains that he was told to submit a written response on what he learned and how he can “create a more inclusive environment that does not center on homophobia or transphobia” in his home and “religious group.”

Richardson clearly has political and social objections to pronoun policies, a view shared by some academics. There is litigation across the country on the issue involving both students and faculty. Some have been successful or settled in favor of the right to refuse to use such pronouns, including a favorable ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in a case involving a college professor. However, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit recently upheld the termination of a high school teacher who refused to comply with such a policy.

Pronouns are fast fading from common discourse under the threat of pronoun penalties. Indeed, many faculty members try to avoid using pronouns altogether in class, rather than look up a student’s designated pronoun. Confirming the right pronouns can be challenging in the middle of a fast-moving class. Students today identify from a growing list of gender identities including, but not limited to, genderfluid, third-gender, amalgagender, demigender, bi-gender, pansgender, and a-gender. Pronouns can include, but are not limited to: He/She, They/Them, Ze/Hir (Ze, hir, hir, hirs, hirself), Ze/Zir (Ze, zir, zir, zirs, ze), Spivak (Ey, em, eir, eirs, ey), Ve (Ve, ver, vis, vis, verself), and Xe (Xe, xem, xyr, xyrs, xe).

This case is interesting because it involves a candy bowl as a vehicle of alleged prohibited speech. Richardson insists that he was just getting rid of excess candy but the bars were also a political statement. There are two immediate questions in the case. First, there is the right of Richardson to refuse to comply with pronoun policies. Second, there is the question of the right to publicly question (and, yes, “mock”) such policies.

The position of the school is unclear. Richardson was acting as a representative of the history department. However, it is not clear whether a candy with an opposing humorous political message would have been the subject of disciplinary action. For example, would a professor be disciplined for joking about those with binary views in class or at an open house? Likewise, could Richardson post an objection to the policy as a matter of academic freedom, as some have done over policies like land acknowledgments?

This is likely to lead to further litigation for both Richardson and Madera Community College. Indeed, Professor Richardson could elect to respond in the same way that Gen. Anthony McAuliffe responded to a demand for surrender in the Battle of the Bulge:

I watched a video the other day of a middle school assembly, during which a 13-year-old girl was placed on a chair in the middle of the gym. Then, a very large, scantily clad, black man who thinks that he's a woman gave said 13-year-old girl a lap dance. This was all done in front of other students, teachers, and administrators who were laughing and cheering.

If that were my daughter, I'd be in prison.

About 10 years ago the entire staff of a HS Varsity hockey team was disciplined and dismissed. Several Seniors were suspended or booted off the team. The reason you ask?

Back in the 1970's a group of Seniors decided that a good right of passage would be to have rookie players dress as women and do a fashion show. Players really looked forward to the event and went all out. Every year costumes and performances got more elaborate and detailed. Awards were given for the most creative.

One student complained and a lot of good people who were merely carrying on a long standing tradition were hurt.

Today, they would be hailed as visionary. None of it even came close to what Gustofer described.

Toodles, freak. You'll have more time for your little fanatasy world no one gives a shit about.

Starbucks fires trans barista screaming at customer to 'get out'

I hear rumblings that the "LGB" wants to break from the "TQ."

That is something that needs to happen.

Really, has it ever been a unified "community?" No. This is where terms like "TERF" come from.

Arc, its funny that you say that. The whole LGBTQ+ABC thing is supposed to signify unity but they are anything but unified.

Having known people over the years in all of those groups represented by a letter in the acronym I learned that most of the people in any single group really don't like people in the other groups.

- Gay men don't like lesbians because they're women
- Lesbians don't like gay men because they're men
- No one seems to like the bi's because they can't make up their minds
- The TG are really out there with their rhetoric and are seen as stealing from the purity of the L & G.

Ironic isn't it?

The trans movement seems to get more unhinged every day. These people absolutely lose their mind over being mis-gendered. How would anyone know, they make up new pronoun combinations every week or so. Some of them it's hard to tell if it's a man -> woman or woman -> man. Although it seems like the Man -> Woman are the ones that are losing their minds more frequently.

Honestly I think a lot of people that went along with it initially have about had it. Honestly who wants to be walking on eggshells with everyone they meet?

My late best friend had a simple solution for the pronouns. He would just refer to everyone as Asshole. It's generic, not gender specific, and is likely more accurate than not.

Dave Chappelle had a bit about this, YT I believe pulled it when the T's came after him.
The G & L tolerate each other, knowing they're both after the same thing, like all groups, the extremes hate a lot of things, especially the other.
Having grown up in San Francisco in the 70's and early 80's, there was serious dividing lines between the gay groups, particularly with neighborhoods. Castro was for gay guys, early on it was white gays only however once gay rights became a viable political tool, the white-only types were forced out or, told to shut-up; butch lesbians were not allowed nor, did they want to be there. Lesbians set-up shop in Bernal Heights, a simple neighborhood with plenty of butch and lipstick lesbians, and away from Castro. Both neighborhoods evolved into thriving, model communities if you didn't know any better, plenty of store fronts, lively activity and very little vagrants; the divisions are there but, both groups don't make it an issue since their key platform, just leave us alone.

Polk Gulch was where the T's were, particularly a 3-4 block stretch, very much a bottom of the barrel environment of hard drugs and mental issues all around. This is where the misfits, the outcasts and eight balls settled, mental problems abound so zero property ownership, a gritty, grimy environment.

Not sure where to put this, but this tread seems appropriate.

Has nothing to do with trans and alphabet people but, entirely with kids...being kids. This school board is overthinking this whole thing, the kids are all looking for attention, whether it's by creating attention either by how they dress, how they respond, how they look, anything to draw attention. You can't entirely control their behavior but, you can dictate what is acceptable dress. you can wear any headband you want, as long as it's colored black, white or, the school colors; no ears, no sparkles, no eyes or, things that stick-out.

If I was king, there should be uniforms for school. Kids get bullied because of what they wear, how they look, girls generate self-inflected anxiety attacks because they don't know what to wear or, who's wearing what, what brands to wear....school uniforms would drastically reduce these distractions.

^^

You're right, probably just looking for attention like the ones that like to pretend they are a different sex. According to this VOX article, most furries are normal people and there's too much focus on the sexual aspects of the movement.. Oh well boys will be boys,, girls, foxes. All pretty normal stuff according to VOX.

I made an argument similar to this quite a while back when a lot of this became more visible.

The whole LGBTQ thing is largely a sexual preference and they are being given a free pass to openly display this pretty much everywhere they go and flaunt it.

If that reasoning follows and a LGBQ person is allowed to display pride flags, be openly (pick your letter), dress in a manner that flaunt's their preference, why shouldn't all sexual preferences be treated equally.

Should people be allowed to come to work in fuzzy costumes?

How about in full leather BDSM attire complete with spiked collars, hoods, leashes, and assless chaps?

Then there are the lingerie fetishists, should women be allowed to come to work dressed like strippers or street walkers? How about men showing up in silk boxers or g-strings?

Do the chronic masturbators get their free time?

Let's not forget the exhibitionists and nudists...

Finally the ultra conservative dedicated virgin until marriage and only copulate to procreate? Don't they have a right to not see any or all of this?

Why are the LGBTQXYZ crowd so much more special than anyone else with a sexual preference? Who has more rights than who???

I think they should all just stay in the closet and keep the door closed.

Re the video posted bye BlackTalon, good grief!

I have two (step)grand-daughters in grade school. Thankfully, it's a Catholic school* and they're not exposed to this crap.

*NOTE: Yeah, I'm Jewish. The grand-kids live in a small town, the Catholic school is the best school in town and the kids get to attend because their Dad teaches there.

In Missouri 92% of kids attend public schools. The products of these public schools will end up being your doctor/nurse, judge/juror, HR person at work, first responders, banker, insurer, and on and on and on.

It will affect them, and you for that matter, regardless of private schooling. That's why it needs to be stopped, and that's why those "who aren't impacted" need to also be involved.
