Situation solved itself.
Sheâs also full of shit. Every queer person knows that drag queens and trans people were at the forefront at Stonewall.
And Rene Richards was her tennis coach back in the day. Not that Richards doesnât have some problematic opinions. Though she did more for queer rights than Martina did. And she knows that Richards never won tournaments as a woman. Especially because she beat Richards in a mixed doubles tournament.
Neither of them is a Billie Jean King as far as queer rights goes. Eltonâs Philadelphia Freedom was about King coming out.
Shocked not shocked. Anti-vax asshole is also an asshole in other ways. Film at 11.
Iâm so old that I remember when people said things like that about lesbians, Martina. About you.

Itâs too bad thereâs no way societies can try to prevent rape except for horrible discrimination. I mean, if there were then people like Helen and Martina would surely be fighting for those instead, right?

If rape were about sexual attraction, it would make more sense to ban lesbians from women-only spaces. Since rape is about power, it seems best to ban conservative politicians and TERs from women-only spaces. Hey, man, itâs only logical.
WTF is âextra rapedâ supposed to mean? Urban dictionary doesnât even know.
âExtra raped womenâ means âraped women who would not have been normallyâ, where normal is presumed to be a society that is identical but does not have trans people. You know, somehow. Itâs reframing their bigotry as the default and reality as an abberation.
(And never mind that if it could be defined, the extra is probably negative â enforced gender roles donât help protect women at all.)

Iâm starting to think we need harsher penalties for this behavior. It seems to be the go-to move for too many Rethuglicans. What is up with them creating biohazards whenever they donât get their way?
Because their entire understanding of morality is centered around contagion, based on inchoate feelings of disgust and revulsion, and extrapolating to evil == filth, and by contrast, purity == good. Only because itâs based on unexamined feelings rather than anything conscious, they keep ramping up what âpurityâ means when it turns out that it doesnât salve their feelings of disgust, and nothing ever seems to be âpureâ enough.
