pb's made the point that he's convinced that a tidal wave of opposition has formed against the LGBT, especially the Trans, POLITICAL agenda.

He's proved his point. Repeatedly. So, rather than post one thread after another, he'll pile one example after another in this thread.

Here's a start:

Swimmer Riley Gaines slams ESPN for honoring 'arrogant cheat' trans athlete Lia Thomas in Women's History Month special - as Thomas denies she transitioned to win and says 'I didn't have any other choice'


ESPN has been condemned by a former champion college swimmer for including transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in their segment devoted to Women's History Month - describing the company as 'spineless'.

Riley Gaines swam for the University of Kentucky, ending her college career in 2022 as 'one of the most decorated swimmers in program history,' according to the UK website. She became a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer and a five-time SEC champion.

On Sunday, Gaines took issue with ESPN's decision to praise Thomas's contribution to women's sport, and tweeted the hashtag 'Boycott ESPN'.

Comments on "Anti-trans POLITICAL agenda in the news thread"

    NPR was blasted on Twitter yesterday for an ignorant, woke tweet claiming, baseless woke propaganda about trans athletes in women’s sports.

    The woke-lie:

    "The international governing body for track and field will ban trans women athletes from elite women’s competitions, citing a priority for fairness over inclusion, despite limited scientific research involving elite trans athletes."

    After a backlash from the informed, this, uh, correction:

    "Multiple studies on trans athletes (including elite athletes) have been conducted which show that they retain higher muscle mass, strength, and running speed than women.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31794605/

    -----

    Correction: An earlier tweet incorrectly stated there is limited scientific evidence of physical advantage. Existing research shows that higher levels of testosterone do impact athletic performance. But there’s limited research involving elite trans athletes in competition.
    A major study by the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggest that trans identified males retain an advantage over women.

    NHL’s Gary Bettman suggests league will reevaluate Pride-themed jersey nights amid spate of opt-outs


    ...as more players decided to opt-out, Bettman said Monday the backlash will be something the league “will have to evaluate in the offseason.”

    “This is one issue where players for a variety of reasons may not feel comfortable wearing the uniform as a form of endorsement,” Bettman said, via CTV Ottawa.

    ...I think that’s become more of a distraction now, because the substance of what our teams and we have been doing and stand for is really being pushed to the side for what is a handful of players have made personal decisions, and you have to respect that as well.”

    Well, not po, pt and Curt. But, reasonable people.

    The tide has turned.

    Kentucky and West Virginia and Georgia and Iowa all move to protect moms and dads from transgender agenda

    All within the last week. All well underway before the trans terrorist slaughtered Christians in Nashville.

    Below are links to each of the four.

    pb'll say again, with more conviction now than ever. The political momentum has swung quickly and dramatically against the trans political agenda and, now, with the outrage in Nashville, trans people are at risk from anti-trans wackos.

    Yet, I'm still only picking up anger and hate from trans people and activists.

    You've probably noted that Donna and po have absented themselves from SS. Sad. I'd love for them to check in to tell us if they have a different message than that their sincere political opponents are "Christian theocrats" and that the legislation they propose is "fascistic and disgusting."

    I definitely hope so.

    My sense is that Arizona will not be a hotbed for trans lynching, but I'm certain that we're all a little concerned.

    "Trans activists have now staged “insurrections” in Oklahoma, Kentucky and Tennessee, and slaughtered 6 Christians on Monday.

    Biden’s response? Saying Trans people “shape our nation’s soul”.

    Meanwhile he refuses to call the shooting an attack on Christians…" -Benny Johnson

    Holy effin Cow!

    Don't forget that if the rest of the citizens attempt to protect themselves from being murdered, or say anything to counter their insurrection. An insurrection that specifically isolates one group of people for extermination. One they are free to harass when at a restaurant or walking on the street minding their own business. One where it's lawful and encouraged by politicians to burn, pillage, and intimidate this group.

    All of this is justified. Just like Hitler, Himmler, Waldemar Hoven, and Herta Oberheuser did while in power.

    Now, po. Tell me there ain't grooming.

    Libs of TikTok:

    "A camp in California is offering a free “kids drag workshop” for kids as young as 8. But we’re not allowed to call them groomers."

    Your lies should shame you.

    Now it's Kansas.

    What I love about this one is that the story has been widely carried in the progressive SwampMedia and, essentially, ignored by the conservative SwampMedia. Clearly, the woke trans gang is sensing an emerging momental political loss.

    Hence, NPR's:

    Lawmakers in Kansas pass a sweeping bill that affects transgender people

    NPR's Michel Martin talks to Andrew Bahl, senior statehouse reporter for The Topeka Capital-Journal, about the anti-transgender bill in Kansas that could be the most restrictive in the country.

    And, still more from Arkansas.

    Arkansas bill would expand the definition of sexual indecency with a child to make it a misdemeanor for an adult to enter a bathroom or changing room that does not correspond with their biological sex if they enter the room “for the purpose of arousing or gratifying a sexual desire” while minors are present.

    It comes just two weeks after Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed into law a measure prohibiting transgender-identifying people at public and charter K-12 schools from using restrooms and locker rooms that do not correspond with their biological sex.

    And, as the song goes, And the beat goes on.

    Wow. Ida-effin-ho, too!!!!!?

    And, still, no answer from the trans community apart from "Christian theocrats" and "fascistic and disgusting."

    Indiana governor bans gender transition surgery on transgender youth

    Indiana joins the ranks of 12 other states that have restricted or banned the use of medication to help transgender youth transition. The new bill will go into effect July 1, and transgender minors have until the end of 2023 to stop using the medication.

    I'm still waiting for the transies to develop rhetoric other than to incite Nashville type violence by depicting political opponents as "Christian theocrats" and calling their legislative remedies "fascistic and disgusting."

    While I'm waiting, their world is changing.

    Exactly!

    Father Of 5-Year-Old Pterodactyl Troubled By How Hard It Is To Get Species-Affirming Care In America

    "Seriously, it's 2023, and we still haven't figured out how to provide adequate medical care to children who think they're extinct flying lizards," said Mingastank.

    "I do my best to raise my son Madison as a pterodactyl per his wishes, which is important for his self-esteem. I only communicate to him in ear-piercing dinosaur screeches, I feed him small rodents and fish, and every once in a while I push him off the roof of the garage so he can try flying. But no other doctors seem to be willing to help him get the ultraviolet heat lamps and lizard medicine his pterodactyl body desperately needs."

    Exactly!

    Poor kids.

    They can't choose their bed time but they have the right to choose their species.

    Bahahahahahahahahahaha
