Shrier is a columnist for the WSJ. She explains it soon in the interview, but fyi: she was initially drawn reluctantly into writing about pre-adult FTM trangenders by a distraught reader. Rogan has young daughters.
I had no idea that sub-adult America girls can get their breats removed without a diagnosis, no questions asked. Just wrong.
LeBron James is way out, likely fatally down, on the slippery slope, along with the entire NBA whether he knows it or not. I do not foresee a promising future for any of the above in the US, outside urban areas. Big loss imo ā¦ but it is what it is.
The lesson? When kowtowing to China doesnāt work, try continuous kowtowing.
In the past year, China hasnāt moderated its oppressive stance towards Hong Kong. Nor has it let up on its enslaved Uighur population of Muslims.
None of these horrors, not even the forced sterilizations, bothers the NBA. It would rather obsess over a few cases in which American police officers have killed African-Americans, almost always either accidentally or with justification.
Kowtow to the ruthless tyrants of China, but hammer the Americans who protect us from crime. Thatās how the NBA rolls.
Its reward is a Chinese television audience to replace the millions of Americans who are tuning the NBA out. . .for as long as the NBA sides with Red China and backs the radical BLM movement, I hope.
iāve just skipped down and not even sure what the thread is about (the OP and topic title are not very specific), and i see a lot of the usual suspects trotting out their usual posts, and then this
As for the claim that this is a āconservative issueāāno, it really isnāt. Parents across the political spectrum oppose activist teachers having secret discussions with their elementary and middle school children about sexuality and gender. Far from this being a ādivisiveā culture-war topic, itās close to a consensus. Conservative parents and liberal parentsāand for that matter, straight and gay parentsātend to speak with one voice here: They do not want activist teachers shaping their elementary school childrenās ideas of gender or sexuality without their knowledge, permission, or oversight. This is true, even as all decent people want same-sex attracted and gender-questioning adolescents to have a safe, happy, and productive middle school experience.
Canadaās institutions are well and truly fcked, IMHO. It seems there are very few of them that havenāt signed up for some sort of quasi-religious ideology.
I consider myself a āradical feministāāmeaning that I endorse an approach to feminism that aims to analyze and tackle the root causes of female oppression.
Whoops.
Anyway, I dunno, it does seem like sheās being badly treated, although then again, if youāre gonna pay for billboards about hot-topic subjects then you should maybe expect some attention paid to your views.
Also as usual I canāt figure out what any of it has to do with āstating biological sex is realā. Nothing sheās done seems to state that, and none of her critics seem to have stated disagreement with it.
