The issue of men competing as transgender athletes in women’s sports has become absurd as the male competitors have been winning the competitions. Unfortunately, sports organizations like the NCAA have continued to diminish women’s athletics by allowing men to compete against women.
Today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addressed the issue when he recognized Emma Weyant as the best female swimmer in the national 500-meter freestyle competition. Ms. Weyant had trained her entire life to be a competitive athlete and came in second to a male transgender competitor in the national championship. The entire issue is an exhibition in politically correct absurdity.
I applaud this! So ridiculous! /smh
It is not ideology. This crap is designed to demoralize our society. It is done under the cloke of ideology to hide the primary intent. Make no mistake, this is a concerted effort to destroy us.
Keep a level head. Once you understand the overall intent, everything comes into focus.
Political correctness is a phycological attack to create a population of low self-esteem. Don’t fall for that either. The push for ever deepening levels of political correctness is by design.
The goal is to gain members by assigning people to groups. Those groups then grow in numbers and power.
It’s to force you to bow to something that isn’t true to break your resistance. If a man in my neighborhood starts believing he is Napoleon, I’m not going to recognize him as Napoleon. I will not be forced to say or act as if he is Napoleon, even if he starts dressing like Napoleon and shoving his hand into his uniform jacket.
What if he started handing out delicious French creme filled pastries and his only demand was you called him, “Napoleon”?
What if Napoléon said, “I am the science”?
That would make him a Fauci.
Just like kneeling to the Black Marxists.
These people are going after ALL women and most of them have no clue.
Of course they know what they are doing. They go after normal women because they can. There are no consequences for any behavior of the Communists. DOJ, AG, Judges give a pass to any pedophile, drug dealer, murderer because the Constitution is void and any law the National Socialists/Communists believe impedes their complete control doesn’t exist. For example Bill Barr.
part of the communist’s guide to take over our society….they are working to normalize degeneracy
Look at the G-D Freak standing there.
That’s what they said about 0bama…
Probably wearing his jockstrap.
Thank you. What a class showman….NOT.
Love the Gov … common sense rules!
Go DeSantis!!
Mr. DeSantis. You just don’t stop winning!!!
What an absolute rock solid man of principle!!!!

Or he is a savvy politician who pays attention to what his constituents think and say!
I’m glad that SOME politician is paying attention to what his constituents think and say! That’s his job.
My conservative MPP refused to listen to me. I called and emailed. He preferred to follow and listen to the ‘science’.
So I submitted paperwork to opposing Conservative party as a candidate, and I was selected. Now I run against this betrayer of social conservatives!
We need to infiltrate their club with good guys.

Go, go, go, Dan! I applaud you and am praying for you!
Run Dan, run. SEE Dan run! 😀

God Bless You
Keep up the Good Fight
Good Luck
First I heard of that Mr. Dale-good luck to you and keep us updated!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He pays attention & does what is right. Look more closely Bonnie Blue, I know it is an anomaly, but there it is in plain sight. God Bless You Governor DeSantis.
I too applaud Gov. DeSantis!
At the same time I am appalled that we need to applaud this! That FEW are willing to stand up for the OBVIOUS truth is a national disgrace!
Thank you Governor DeSantis for standing up for WOMEN!!!
Again – Where in the hell are the rest of the conservative Governors, Senators, and Reps ????
Yooo-hooo, anyone home???
Where are all the liberal women who have complained about inequality for decades?
The patriarchy continues to win.
Drinking their box wine 😒
The lib women I know who are over 40 are very upset about this, but not enough to say anything publicly and be thrown out of the club. I suspect very few libs are supporting the takeover of girls’ sports
Their silence is compliance and support. They – silent, compliant, liberal women – are why this is happening.
So the cowards are silent and little children are encouraged to take hormones of the opposite sex.
Like our pathetic RINO here in AZ, they’re all compromised and obey their blackmailing masters.
Apparently, Trump and DeSantis are the only uncompromised non-pervert R’s in national politics — and I fully expect them to try and destroy DeSantis as they did to Trump and his family.
” Where in the hell are the rest of the conservative Governors, Senators, and Reps ????”
Maybe there aren’t any.
Sadly, they are not home. They have gone over to the party that made headlines, as “The Party that Boos God.”
They are almost impossible to tell from the dems.
They do not have the courage of their convictions. They will not stand for what is right and true if they feel they might get bad press.
There is something evil behind this farce of allowing a man to compete with women and trying to force people to accept it, and creating false entries in the record books.
That something evil has a name–0bama…
Well I Agree, to a point Caius Key.
That evil has a name alright!
The name is Satan!
Of course, O man is in his army for sure.
Thats just my opinion for what it is worth.
Spot on. The dems have removed God, faith, families, & fathers & provided a welcome home within their ranks for satan, the father of lies. Well suited.

In Florida I knew several families with young boys in soccer and baseball town leagues where 18 year old Dominicans and other Hispanic immigrants were fraudulently masqueraded by their parents as 12 year old boys. The goal being a college scholarship or professional baseball career. Besides being 6’2″ and 180 pounds these “kids” had been shaving already. It was a fraud just like the transgender crap!
This is one of their ID’s
Exactly! My friend had sent his sons to pretty expensive soccer and baseball training camps for nothing!
Lol well played
WTH
But even worse than that, illegals in their 20’s & 30s are claiming to be teens when they come across the border. They then are put in jr. high with 13-14 yr old girls who they harass until they get them alone & rape them.
Then you have the Lias who still have their junk & like to still date girls & walk around the locker rooms with hard-ons.
how about the 26 year old male sentenced to juvenile detention for raping a 14 year old because he was 17+ when the offense occurred…..this happened under the commie DA in LA recently
In 2005 my daughter’s Div. 2 volleyball team, Truman State, was defeated in the “NCAA” finals by women obviously older, and most taller than our women. Rumour was many were South American ringers. I don’t discuss this or the current transgender thingy because she’s a committed dem. Just family concerns.
Taiwan did that for several years with their entire team of “Little League” boys to get them to the international championships
If I had a dollar for every gender. I’d have $2
In Massachusetts you’d have 57! No wait, 63 — no wait, 75… no wait…
Hey, don’t you know that 99% of the world’s most renowned Climate Scientists say there are 63 different sexes? LOL
Soooo stealing that! Thanks!

Transgenderism is the real “War On Women”.
And it’s not even real.
Weather it’s Christine Jorgensen, who went “abroad” and came back a man, or the dude in the pool, it’s still a mental illness IMO. Pretty sad that they teach this garbage to school kids.
No Christine was a guy who switched over–surgery & all–& lived the rest of her life as a woman. I went to a lecture & q&a. She was quite interesting actually. All the gay guys were asking her questions about how to get the surgery. It was much harder to get surgery & hormone treatment in the early 1970s. You had to spend time being in therapy.
They were afraid the suicide rates would go up back then. Not our school boards, teachers & teachers’ unions these days. I’m surprised they haven’t learned how to do the surgeries themselves at schools.
Male to Female = Lopodicophamy
Female to Male = Adadictomy
If the lgqbts community is this large why not have trans competition for all Trans athletes what is their % of the population, this is for destruction and the NCAA’s greed for money.
less than 2%, I think
polls polls…saw one last week claiming 30+% of millennials claim membership in that infamous grouping …. the same poll said almost 30% of young Christians said the same

This man has no integrity, competing against women and standing up to accept awards he knows he didn’t earn. As far as the NCAA, they are evil.
Weak males wanting to compete against females so that they can finally win at something. Is that what sports has come to?
…weak males but strong Democrats…
He was ranked 462nd before he started swimming with women. Now he’s #1 in his events.
Have to admire her courage /s
I highly QUESTION the former ranking.
why? because there is a certain age (for both boys and girls) where competitive top tier does not develop and start to shape out.
for example….just for the record…I was #113 in the entire country in the 3 mile at one time. Almost in the top 100. But I was 13 years old! Just two years later, even after making fantastic improvments, I was not even close to top 500.
so, the QUESTION I have about his former ranking in “MALE” competition is: how long ago? across the entire nation or only in one division? And at what age?
it matters.
If I had to speculate just based on the personal best time set my this THIEF!, I would say with confidence “IT” was not even in the top 100. Maybe in the top 50 at an earlier age…possibly. But not in college. Definitely not after age 18. It is an impressively competitive field and none of “THIS THINGS” times are even close to records set in the top 100 from males competing 18 + age for over a decade now!
Just my opinion.
Big difference between male athlete at 13 and 20, I don’t think your point holds. Fact is WILLIAM was a D1 male swimmer, that means a whole lot. It is nothing like being a precocious middle school athlete.
She said 462nd.
he was 19 and a male college swimmer at that time
Yes and it’s glorious
Earth is an insane asylum, to which the other planets deport their lunatics.

The other night, Tucker said something really prescient; his opinion of the forceful acceptance of transsexual abnormality is that its meant by the Ruling Class to humiliate us–to force us accept (without objection) an absurdity…..an abomination.
Same as in the George Orwell’s novel, 1984.
Best explanation for this.
“‘But how can you control matter?’ he burst out. ‘You don’t even control the climate or the law of gravity. And there are disease, pain, death-‘
O’Brien silenced him by a movement of his hand. ‘We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation — anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of Nature. We make the laws of Nature.'”
The Ruling Class has spent the last four decades trying to convince us it can control the climate. Its billionaire-funded space programs are, in a way, a defiance of gravity. Last year it subjected humanity to the most expansive propaganda campaign in history, centered on the premise an endless shot regime can control disease and death. Through the subversion of biological sex it is eradicating of the laws of Nature.
It is all about the soap bubble.
Precisely!
“The Ruling Class has spent the last four decades trying to convince us it can control the climate.“
Nope…not that they can control the climate, but that we are the cause and therefore must be tax.
Screwtape Proposes a Toast. I highly recommend it!
But what about all of us who don’t accept it?
Hmmm, I imagine down the road “they” have plans for us!
Not worried here!
I will not conform to BS!
That is all. Carry on!
I believe is far more sinister and vile than even that. I don’t doubt tucker is correct. But there is definitely something else here at play.
in summary….these people are interested in normalizing perversion because they see it as normal. They are also likely doing thing or have done things that are criminal and so, they have an agenda to radically change societal norms so that when (not if) they are found to be the scum they are….No one will be upset about it. When you look at some of these people and consider their former opinions, it has only been recently there is this attraction to supporting lgbtxyz agendas….Obviously, that tiny fraction of voters make absolutely zero difference in their own election. So why bother? Because they IDENTIFY with the behavior. That is why there is so much effort placed in THROWING EVER PERVERSION UP TO AND INCLUDING PEDOPHELIA INTO THE CATEGORY. It’s not just for convenience. These people really do believe that any thing goes should be made legal. And at the current rate, they are making great strides that would provide for raping young children perfectly legal.
It’s more than just a way to demoralize a nation and to control. This is a movement made by the elite, the very rich and “stated” small groups who are using their powers to make what should be unlawful and severely punishable, to common and legal.
For this REASON, I WILL NEVER AND CAN NEVER just sit idle and mind my business when the topic of homosexuality comes up. IT IS RELATED BECAUSE THEY HAVE MADE IT RELATED.
They are literally trying to created another special class of protected people…and they are using homosexuality, gender identity to get there.
I will always resist this abomination.
I know where this leads. and it doesn’t end at some 6 foot tall dude in a pool stealing trophies from women/girls!
Beastiality (already legal in some states) and paedophilia (already unpunished in some circles) will be the next abominations to be normalized.
Don’t think it the ruling class, just bureaucrats trying to be relevant in their mundane world.
Have been wondering why Democrats have become the party of saying and doing things that are obviously and ludicrously false? Because it allows them to attack the excellent, talented, and moral in hopes of getting paid off–and because they hate those happy, productive, and honest people!
it is also a skillful strategy to make an issue to throw off the opposition so they are emotionally compromised and consumed in one direction..and in the meanwhile they literally steal and cheat and conduct all manner of criminal misconduct.
they USE the issue to create chaos..look over there at the freak show. Ain’t it pretty. And meanwhile they plunder with nearly zero intervention.
Remember the 2020 Iowa caucuses? The chaos under the ruse of, “Oh, we just rolled out a new app!” was indeed intentional. Also remember how people in Iowa HATED Kamala.
It was Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch who wrote the opinion that helped ruin women’s sports.
It was also RBG that helped ruin women’s sports, after all that stuff about the struggle for Title IX.
IMO The 6-3 vote tells you how far the US has fallen. I was surprised that crybaby Kavanaugh voted against it.
That’s hard to look at.
That’s mma fighter Tamikka Brents getting her face and skull cracked by *trans* Fallon Fox. This all happened within the first couple min of the fight. She ended up hospitalized with staples in her skull.
Stupidity on stilts–that is, 0bama…

see what you did there.
I think a pile of manure emoji works too. a huge steaming pile emoji
Trump – DeSantis 2024!
Don’t the two candidates have to reside in separate states?
No.
The VP selection is often played as a political calculation amongst the states, but there’s no such requirement.
You are correct Maquis, the Pres & the VP can be from the same state…
BUT…the electoral college electors from that state would NOT
be able to cast their electoral votes for the VP.
Would not matter in a national blowout…but could matter in a close election…
especially if that state had a large number of EVs.
Your understanding of the law is correct, but Florida is too big not to matter in any election. Trump would just have to redeclare residency somewhere else. Easy, especially for him.
Twelfth Amendment
The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves;
I guess the US Constitution disagrees with you
Looks that way.
The 12th amendment could be interpreted to mean that, in this case, the Florida electors could not vote for both Trump AND DeSantis. But everyone knows the Constitution is easily disregarded anyway. Trump could always move to Nevada if he wanted to.
Trump can easily move, just like Dick Cheney did in 2000. But, you are generally correct. Actually, they can reside in the same state but would have to forego the state’s electoral votes…so never would happen.
TRUMP 2022!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I posted the following comment on another web site (LI) yesterday in connection with an article in the University of Pennsylvania student newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian, claiming that anyone who is opposed to William Thomas’ “trans” gender intrusion into women’s athletics is both “unqualified” and “transphobic.” My comment is, I trust, more appropriate here:
Wait a second. Who’s to say that women (or men for that matter) who care about fairness in athletics, are not “qualified” to speak out about an issue that affects everyone, athletes above all but also spectators, fans, and people at large?. This is typical of the left’s effort to undermine basic principles of freedom of speech and debate. They wish to control the discussion as well as the narrative. The idea that a man can be deemed a woman based on his own opinion–together with the concurrence of those who agree with him–hardly closes the issue. While respect for individual tastes and perspectives is important, it doesn’t trump (I use this word advisedly) differing tastes and perspectives. The dictionary still defines Will Thomas as a transvestite–a man who dresses and acts like a woman: Key word “man”! That’s all we have here: A man dressing up and acting like a woman, but swimming like the man he is. The simple truth is he doesn’t belong in the women’s division. If he’s going to be allowed to do this, then why have women’s swimming at all? Just let there be a single competition–open to men and women alike. For those who say that this would be unfair to women (because men generally are able to outperform women), I say that is PRECISELY what is happening with Mr. Thomas’ intrusion here. Instead of all women being relegated to down-the-liner rankings, he has moved everyone slower than him down one notch in the rankings. IOW, same difference only on a smaller scale. But identical unfairness! That he threw at least one (and probably two) of his races (200 and 100 Free) at the NCAA’s, probably in order to defuse the outrage that women and men alike are voicing at his presence, means he’s also a cheat. Note too that this is not a one-off: He’ll be back for the 2024 Olympics, and other USS and international meets in the interim, where he’ll once again dominate in the middle-distance events (200 and 400 Freestyles–and he’ll do so, not because he’s a woman, but again, because he’s a man. The swimmers, together with their men’s team counterparts, need to refuse to countenance this false construct of gender “choice.”
Normal people are all expected to play along? Ridiculous, not in this lifetime.
Yale has a mentally ill pervert swimmer too, only it’s a girl posing as a guy.

Looks like the Penn freak slowed down to let the Yale freak win. Lol
American Principles on Twitter: “Lia Thomas spent 21 years of his life as a man. He started competing against women in swimming this year and became a national champion. Our daughter’s sports are not a plan B for failed male athletes.”
Why in the —- is that Iszac wearing a damn MASK to a swim meet?
Why is this “man” wearing a women’s swim suit?

Univ. of Pa. is one of the most liberal shithole univ. in the land. Has been for decades.

I thank God everyday the Ron DeSantis is my Governor ………………… and Gretchen Witmer is not.
Bravo!
Indiana Gov. Holcumb.s decision regarding transgender athlete’s inclusion is crazy, says Hoosier’s do not have that problem. Wonder what planet he is on? I coached youth sports for 22 yrs. from 3rd grade thru HS. He has no idea simply put…
You got to love Governor DeSantis.
Wrong thread.
The Left is trying to redefine reality.
We can’t let them do that.
Will Thomas must be mocked and ridiculed at every opportunity.
We aren’t under any obligation to entertain his charade.
Fans need to start booing loudly every time this fraud appears at a women’s swim meet.
Title IX.
Title IX!
Title IX?
This piece of garbage may very well be the biggest narcissist this country has ever seen.
In a saner day, he’d have been locked up in a cracker factory to find out what makes him tick.
Short of that …
I’d pay to see Jerry Lawler pile-drive this dude.
That’s the big pay-off that’s missing here.
Paging Vince McMahon … Make WrestleMania Great Again!
The civil thing to do,where ever he’s swimming, would be ladies going to the blocks and standing while man with junk in trunks swims solo.
The other way…is for all women to pin this bastard down and kick his sack until it’s size of a cantaloupe and bleeds. When investigators call on they ladies they can relay he was on his menstrual cycle.
Yes, but done under water.
America’s Stubborn and Wayward Heart | Doug Wilson
Wrong thread again
Female athletes should refuse to compete against trannies and hold an alternate competition. NCaa would flip quickly.
100% agree.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why women in any sport continue to compete. When the start guns goes off, don’t dive in, stand up on the starting block, drop your javelin on the ground, etc. Flat out refuse to compete. When the trans cheater swims, runs and competes by himself, he will look even more like the fool he is.
I agree. They need to start their own competition and tell the ncaa to f’off. Unfortunately, a bunch probably have scholarships so can’t do that. But I wish they would. Stand for something important, even at a cost to yourself.
walked down their desired path –
best to never entertain this enemy. its always modulating its evil on a very thin string of humanity.
What brand of tape did he use for the tuck and tape? Flex seal?
While I appreciate his sentiment, he is out of his lane. He needs to focus on Florida and not the NCAA.
the TOP FEMALE SWIMMER IS FROM SARASOTA FLORIDA!
I would say, Governor, has a direct interest in using his power to right a wrong for one of its celebrated people!
have you considered that?
He absolutely did the right thing. I read the proclamation, it’s spot on true and honors a dedicated and disciplined Florida athlete
Brick by brick, tradition by tradition, principle by principle 2500 years of Western Civilization is being deconstructed before our eyes to be replaced with an intentionally absurd and tyrannical dystopia.
I feel like Ron DeSantis tried to go along and get along with the DC crowd until his wife got cancer after taking the jab…I realize that correlation is not causation but I think he’s done playing games with evil people and has decided to play offense rather than defense. And more power to him I say!!
His wife’s diagnosis would serve as a reminder that life is precious, far too short, and unlike a computer game it doesn’t come with a reset button. Many of these young women will not get a do-over. They will graduate and move on with their lives, void of the rewards they worked so hard to achieve because of someone else’s mental illness. These trans athletes need to have their own divisions where they can compete amongst themselves, in front of a supporting crowd, on a level playing field.
Water always finds its level. 🙂
desantis has been very consistent on his position about individual choice well before he was voted into office. It is literally HOW he won the state!
Florida is a very free loving state. He wasn’t catering to anyone. It’s his personal passion. You can’t fake that.
there is no trickery or plastique with DeSantis. he is exactly what you see and hear him say.
And by their fruits ye shall know them.
NBC Op-Ed Compares Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas to Jackie Robinson (breitbart.com)
Jackie Robinson was a cheater, too?
I’ll be on the pool deck for 5am practice tomorrow morning. I know what it takes to keep training and competing in swimming = and I’m in my 60s. Athletes like Emma are disciplined and dedicated to this sport, training twice a day 5/6 days a week while carrying a heavy class load.
Thanks Gov’D for honoring her!
That male swimmer should be so ashamed of himself he should hide for 20 years.
Can someone explain why women are allowed to compete in Transgender sports? Are Olympic athletes allowed to compete in the Special Olympics? Can MLB players play on Little League teams?
Maybe it’s time to create a Trans Sport Association so that men who would be women and women who would be men can all compete against each other as transgender athletes.
Wouldn’t this put an end to the controversy by applying simple common sense?
No such thing as “Transgender”.
We have men and women who procreate and advance the planet, and we have men and women who are mentally ill and share each others clothes.
until recently in the DSM it was given a specific diagnosis……it is called “Gender Dystopia”
Ask for a friend…do transwhatevers have sex alone? Or with a crowd?

What I told the students of Princeton – by Abigail Shrier (substack.com)
Show some self-respect and reclaim your freedom
“Some men have periods and get pregnant.” “Hard work and objectivity are hallmarks of whiteness.” “Only a child knows her own true gender.” “Transwomen don’t have an unfair advantage when playing girls’ sports.”
On that final example of a lie, the one about transwomen in girls’ sports, I want you to think for a moment about a young woman here at Princeton. She’s a magnificent athlete named Ellie Marquardt, an all-American swimmer who set an Ivy League record in the 500-meter freestyle event as a freshman. Just before Thanksgiving, Ellie was defeated in the 500-meter, the event she held the record in, by almost 14 seconds by a 22 year old biological male at Penn who was competing on the men’s team as recently as November of 2019. That male athlete now holds multiple U.S. records in women’s swimming, erasing the hard work of so many of our best female athletes, and making a mockery of the rights women fought for generations to achieve.
Ellie Marquart swam her heart out for Princeton. When will Princeton fight for her? Where are the student protests to say—enough is enough. When a biological male who has enjoyed the full benefits of male puberty—larger cardiovascular system, 40% more upper body muscle mass, more fast-twitch muscle fiber, more oxygenated blood—decides after three seasons on the men’s team to compete as a woman and smashes the records of the top female swimmers in this country, that is not valor—that’s vandalism.
Where is the outrage? Imagine, for a second, what it must be like to be a female swimmer at Princeton, knowing you must pretend that this is fair—that the NCAA competition is anything other than a joke. Imagine being told to bite your tongue as men lecture you that you just need to swim harder. “Be grateful for your silver medals, ladies, and maybe work harder next time,” is the message. Imagine what that level of repression does to warp the soul.
Now, imagine, instead, the women’s swimmers had all walked out. Imagine they had stood together and said: We will meet any competitor head on. But we will not grant this travesty the honor of our participation. We did not spend our childhoods setting our alarm clocks for 4am every morning, training for hours before and after school, to lend our good names to this fixed fight.
I know why students keep their heads down. They are hoping for that Goldman or New York Times internship, which they don’t want to put in jeopardy. Well, any institution that takes our brightest, most capable young people—Princeton graduates!—and tells you can only work here if you think like we tell you to and keep your mouth shut, that isn’t really Goldman Sachs and it isn’t the paper of record. It’s the husk of a once-great institution, and it’s not worth grasping for. Talk to alums at these institutions: they sound like those living under communist regimes. That’s the America that awaits you if you will not speak up.
I didn’t write Irreversible Damage to be provocative. In a freer world, nothing in my book would have created controversy. I wrote the book because I knew it was truthful and I believed recording what I found—that there was a social contagion leading many teenage girls to irreversible damage—was the right thing to do. I also believe if I hadn’t written it, thousands more girls would be caught up in an identity movement that was not organic to them but would nonetheless lead them to profound self-harm. But I didn’t write it specifically to stop them. I wrote it simply because it was true.
Spotify employees tried to hold that company hostage because they carried my podcast episode with Joe Rogan. Amazon employees threatened to quit if they continued to carry my book. GoFundMe shut down a grass-roots fundraiser by parents, who reached into their own pockets, to advertise my book. And the ACLU threw its entire, century-old mission in the garbage, all because of one book with which it disagreed. Joining these petulant mobs is not a show of strength, and it is not freedom. It’s closer to servitude.
Whenever anyone asks me to use their preferred pronouns, and I can do so without confusing my audience or muddying an argument, I do so and I think this is an important courtesy. But –when asked, I will not state my pronouns and if you don’t believe in Gender Ideology, you shouldn’t either. When you state your pronouns, you participate in the catechism of Gender Ideology – the belief that there are ineffable genders, unknowable to all but the subject. That no one can possibly know I am a woman unless I’ve supplied these. I do not believe this. I regard this as nonsense. When asked for my pronouns, I say: “I am a woman.” Take back your freedom. Reclaim it now.”…….
