Sue Altman, Democrat running for the US House of Representatives
in New Jersey's 7th District, on the topic of trans inclusion in sports:
"If we decide as a society that making rules about who
is and who isn’t female is more important than giving young children a chance
to be on teams and compete and to be part of something bigger than themselves,
especially young people who are more susceptible to suicide and bullying, then
I think we’ve lost our way a little bit. As someone who’s been working to
advocate for women’s rights and women's sports, I promise you that in the
locker rooms of women's sports teams, we’re not super worried about this. We've
been worried about getting equal access to gym time, good referees, good
trainers so you don’t get injured, fair shake at scholarships, equal pay at the
higher levels. I will let individual sport committees decide the highest, highest-level
things, but at the very heart of it, we have to respect people of all genders
and give young children, especially young people and adolescents struggling
with their gender identity, the chance to compete."
Huh. Common sense and respect. That’s how it should be, not
name calling and shaming and lying.
Common sense and respect.

I enjoyed reading Daniel Radcliffe's reminiscence about Maggie Smith.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhhh, I love Jake Shears. He gets it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhatever career Corey had is now over, this is a good thing. Re Giuliani: I had to laugh when I read that he texted Trump's coup plans to a wrong number, and Jack Smith has those plans.
ReplyDeleteThey are all excellent. Jake Shears' thoughts are particularly interesting. Even at my age, it is easy for me to hook up with someone using an app. But...how many long term relationships form from an app hook up? Maybe some do, I don't know. But the furtive looks, the flirtation, the teasing, the excitement and the culmination that might lead to a relationship was so good.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jake dear. I feel you.
ReplyDeleteThe apps had basically made gay men lazy. We knew that. I love the flirting, the looking, the buildup to the actually touching the man while talking close to each other.
And Rudy's daughter is right: it's mourning.
Love Daniel.
XOXO
Eating one's innards does not prove that one has leadership quality, it only proves that you are thick enough to vote for Donald Duck.

OK, you know me, so of course I researched WTF is wrong with Hung Cao!! When he talks about witchcraft in CA, you can bet he is equating it with DEI. Last year, he wrote an opinion piece for "The Washington Times" stating that it was DEI that caused the failure of Silicon Valley Bank! In his mind DEI is destroying every sector of the country and we should get back to meritocracy! An interesting take from a guy who claims he was "blown up" in war, has 100% disability and dozens of surgeries to replace body parts, yet has no Purple Heart or Combat Service Ribbon. So, he is lying about something...some form of stolen valor. Either he is lying about having injuries in the first place, or, as I suspect, he caused his own injuries with a mistake handling ordnance (his job) which is tragic, but doesn't earn you medals. So, just one more lying loser who makes fun of Dems in office, but desperately wants to be in office and has lost in every attempt! SADZ! 🤣
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if eating lead paint chips is still a thing.
