Ellie Gomersall, the president of the National Union of Students in Scotland, apologized for reposting content justifying Hamasâs actions. Two days earlier, Gomersall had accused the British Labour Party leader Keir Starmer of being âcomplicit in the deaths of ⌠trans peopleâ for saying that âa woman is a female adult.â Got that? A politician with an essentialist view of womanhood is complicit in the deaths of innocents, but a terrorist indiscriminately murdering people at a music festival must be understood in context.
However, Crenshaw herself has expressed surprise at how the meaning of intersectionality has changed through its invocation in pop culture. âThis is what happens when an idea travels beyond the context and the content,â she told Vox in 2019. In escaping from the academy into the mainstream, intersectionality morphed into both a crude tallying of oppression points and an assumption that social-justice struggles fit neatly togetherâwith all of the marginalized people on one side and the powerful on the other.
Thatâs how you end up with Queers for Palestine when being queer in Palestine is difficult and dangerous. (In 2016, a Hamas commander was executed after being accused of theft and gay sex.) Itâs also how you end up with candidates for Labour Party leadership signing a pledge that insists there âis no material conflict between trans rights and womenâs rights,â even whenâas in the eligibility rules for womenâs sportsâsome wins for one group plainly come at the expense of the other.
emphasis mine
What the fuck do trans people have to do with this 
5 bucks says Mr. Tough Guy called in sick the next day.
Oh, look, Helen Lewis is flagged by my transphobia addons. What a fucking surprise.
Sheâs a TER, she probably thinks itâs our fault when she goes to make a cup of tea and realises she has run out of sugar.

The letter, principally authored by Attorneys General Marshall, Griffin, and Skrmetti from Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee respectively, aims to reverse the Dekker decision that permits transgender adults to retain Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care. The attorneys general reference the Dobbs decision, which overturned abortion rights, eight separate times. They voice concerns that if the district court upholds Medicaid coverage, by imposing heightened scrutiny on laws affecting transgender individuals, it might similarly apply heightened scrutiny to abortion rights.
Liz Kocab, who has competed in older age brackets of womenâs fencing competitions for over a decade, won her 8th world championship, over a cis woman who has won 14 times.

Concern that Kocab is dominating over 70s womenâs fencing has led to the alarm being raised far and wide, from serious news organizations like Fox News, to the anti-woke sports blog Outkick. Even former fifth-place tying college swimmer Riley Gaines has weighed in, tweeting, âWinning a title as a male in the womenâs category doesnât make you a champion. It makes you an entitled cheat.â

Some people might say that the focus on the victories of trans women in specific age brackets of lesser-known sports is a sign that actual evidence of trans womenâs unfair advantage in and dominance over womenâs sports is unavailable. Some might speculate that this is whatâs responsible for examples of anti-trans activists and news outlets sympathetic to their cause scrambling pathetically to find some weak-sauce example of a trans woman who won something, who can be held up as evidence for this nonexistent trend. Some might even say that these sorts of niche, lower-stakes competitive environments are great places to practice maximal inclusivity, because it encourages people of all shapes and sizes to be more active and challenge themselves to do their best.
Good news they caught the guy, but it doesnât change the Chyna Long was murdered. Police arrest suspected murderer of trans woman after catching him in a lie - LGBTQ Nation
Something tells me that jail wonât be so kind to her
Do it then asshole. Go ahead and commit a crime bad enough to land your rich ass in prison and serve your time then. No one is going to imprison you for your asshole opinions though so I guess you canât appropriate that level of victimization⌠Boo hoo. Iâm sure in her narcissistic fantasy everyone in the prison clapped.
Itâs really easy to be brave about prison when you know youâll never go.
