Absolutely true.

MisterMedusa, above, put into words something I've been thinking. Unfairness in sports is capturing general attention for people who may have thought GI was some harmless fringe inclusiveness thing that must somehow have something to do with being gay. "Queer" now seems to take in all manner of people whether gay or straight.

Coercion is a big part of this whole thing.

None of us should live in this sort of fear, whether it's an academic or a woman in prison, or whatever.

And, anyone concerned about future generations in their family or extended family will continue to find this a personal matter. Plus, I know I'm never getting over how my kid was messed with, either - even as I worry whether she's truly ok now or not.

The whole cult ideology must go - roots & all - and I think maybe we start by taking reality based language back. I even find "gender critical" silly. Gender is made up. We can be kind to confused people and not cave to a cult and affirm people whose issue may in part be an excessive need for attention. None of us would have heard of WilLiam without all this - if he'd simply switched to a nickname, worn a gal's outfit and competed with the fellas.
