      XPost: alt.politics.republicans, alt.politics.democrats, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: leroysoetoro@americans-first.com              https://nypost.com/2025/11/28/opinion/cowardly-pols-still-wont-       acknowledge-biological-reality/              In 2025, some Democrats are still too cowardly to say that biological men       don’t belong in women’s spaces and sports.              In fact, they want to act like it simply isn’t a real problem.              We can thank Tish Hyman for putting two of them on the spot and exposing       their empty platitudes.              The singer was tossed from a Gold’s Gym in Beverly Hills after she       objected to a man, who identifies as a woman changing in the female locker       room.              The more we learned about this space invader, Alexis Black, the darker the       tale became: Black was convicted of savagely beating his ex-wife and       breaking her jaw — and then took her first name as he transitioned.              Black is a walking red flag, but it’s Hyman who was penalized.              Kudos to her for fighting back.              Last week, Hyman, who is gay, asked Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who is also       running for governor of California, what he’d do about men in women’s       spaces — noting that any man, included those convicted of violence, can       “self identify into a woman’s space under the current law,”              Swalwell, a mealy-mouthed progressive, danced around the question before       generously admitting that “harassment” of women “was wrong.”              It was as bold as coming out against cancer.              Hyman zeroed in: “Are you against men in women’s locker rooms and sports?       That’s all you need to answer.”              Swalwell continued to say a whole bunch of things while saying absolutely       nothing.              Two weeks ago, Hyman asked the same question of California state senator       Scott Weiner, who is also running for governor. He said “everyone deserves       to be safe” and that trans women are being “brutalized in this country.”              https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/transgender-woman-       tish-hyman-locker-114930653_003e66.jpg?resize=368,491&quality=75&strip=all              The patriarchy remans undefeated in the Golden State.              Meanwhile in the Garden State, a Korean spa — where nudity is compulsory       in sex-segregated spaces — is being forced to let dudes into the ladies       room after losing a lawsuit.              The King Spa in Palisades Park was sued in 2022 by a man who identifies as       a women because he was upset after being given a bracelet that only       allowed him entry into the men’s room.              As a result, patrons are now allowed to use the rooms that coincide with       the gender identity of their choosing.              Good luck to King Spa’s business.              And just this week, a man named Jammie Booker won the title of World’s       Strongest Woman. Second-place winner Andrea Thompson of the UK stormed off       the podium while offering the most concise assessment of the situation:       “This is bulls–t.”              When it was revealed that Booker was a dude who had transitioned, he was       stripped of his title and Thompson was given top prize. Sanity prevailed,       but the idea that Booker felt entitled to compete against women speaks       volumes about the state of women’s sports.              All of these stories unfolded as Mother Jones and Pablo Torre collaborated       on a hit piece against activist and former college swimmer Riley Gaines.              The Mother Jones headline read that Gaines “climbed the MAGA ladder by       vilifying trans women in sports.”              In its report, the publication explained that Gaines was, gasp, paid well       for her advocacy work. And it alleged that she didn’t really care about       women’s safety — because her former coach at the University of Kentucky       was accused in 2024 by two staffers of sexual assault.              Never mind that, after the allegations surfaced against her coach, Lars       Jorgensen, Gaines put out a statement saying she was “blindsided and       betrayed” by a man she once considered a friend. (Jorgensen left the       school in 2023 and is now banned from coaching).              But for Torre and the Mother Jones reporter, that wasn’t enough to show       that Gaines cared about predatory coaches. Essentially, they wanted Gaines       to be more like Simone Biles, who was victimized by convicted sex offender       Dr. Larry Nassar and publicly spoke out against her abuser.              Both Biles and Gaines, who was forced to share a locker room with trans       swimming rival Lia Thomas, should be commended for meeting the issue of       their time. They are both brave.              But only one of them is called a bigot, threatened and diminished for       speaking out.              Thankfully, there are laws against, and consequences for, sexual assault       and an organization — SafeSport, however flawed it may be — tasked with       policing such allegations in the US Olympics and Paralympic movements.              However, there aren’t enough protections for women who simply want to keep       female sports and spaces female.              Even now, too many politicians and people in the media don’t want to       concede it’s an actual issue. Which makes Hyman and Gaines’ work more       important than ever.                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.              Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama       / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
