The Unificationists, aka Moonies, have their hands in right wing causes across the globe. This includes Japan and the US. Disbanding them at their source would be huge.

LOL, it does not and never has. What a bizarre interpretation.

The parallels with transphobia today are extraordinary, even if the good ol' Guardian can't bring itself to say so.

"The people claiming they were there to “save” women’s sports seemed to know almost nothing about them. And that contradiction reveals something deeper about this debate. This fight was never really about fairness in athletics. It was about who gets to belong." - @jcubedhax.bsky.social

1. Even Justice ACB seemed alarmed at the implications of anti-trans arguments being used to discriminate against women more broadly during SCOTUS hearings on trans sports. Experts say not to read too far into it, court likely to overturn rights. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I'm worried less that this is real and more that it is, and they are prepared to do exactly what seemingly every rich white liberal wants them to do: reach across the divide and see eye to eye on "so much". I feel very much on the menu, frankly...

Over 90% of trans and non-binary people in Norway satisfied with gender-affirming care www.scenemag.co.uk/over-90-of-t...

In Skrmetti, they said it wasn't discrimination on the basis of sex because it applied to both trans girls and trans boys. Now that the sports ban only applies to trans girls, it's not discrimination on the basis of trans status. The only logic that is consistent is that trans people lose.

Why yes I'd love to destroy my zygomatic process and make things like talking and chewing excruciating.

This contrasts to the gender critical invented framework of "sex-based rights" in which certain sexes are owed specific discrete rights by virtue of their sex rather than a framework of discrimination on the basis of sex. It's a linguistic sleight of hand that is extremely regressive.

Anyone that thinks sex testing is simple, I suggest go talk to Dutee Chand. To evaluate the effects of Chand’s T, involved measuring & palpating Chand’s clitoris, vagina & labia, as well as evaluating her breast size & pubic hair scored on an illustrated five-grade scale.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

I think it's important to never lose sight of the fact that there is nothing organic about the anti-trans legislation. It's all a part of a large pys-op by Christian Nationalist groups. There was actually backlash to early anti-trans bills🧵 wherethereissmoke.substack.com/p/how-big-mo...

@deecherrywriter.bsky.social wrote a great piece on how this stems from the failure of the bathroom bills and Christian Nationalists just throwing shit at the wall: bsky.app/profile/deec...

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

The top section is straight out of Robert Stoller, btw. Surprised there's no reference.

Look up how involved your average LEO hiring process is in the US. Then read this.

And, to be clear, to those people who are like, “You’re so mad!” Girl, I’m laying on my bed the most chill I’ve been since 8:30 this morning. This is the most (only(?)) fun I’ve had all day.

All I have to say is the Zootopia abortion comic read like a Chick Tract minus the bible verses and I swear that was the aesthetic they were going for...

The right-wingers at SCOTUS today argue that merely allowing a trans girl to compete in sports is a great harm because we must "protect women." But a woman exercising her First Amendment rights is a smug .... These people don't respect women 1/10th as much as any trans woman I know does.

Incoherent ramblings? Maybe. More likely? He can't talk about the economy because he'd look like a loser, so he shifts to either bullying or something that he thinks makes him look like a winner. Apparent efficacy.

Oscar the OPSEC Otter wants to scream.

I agree with Parker on this. Yes what she did is vile. This is why I try not to call individuals vile, just their actions (there are exceptions). St. Clair may not deserve forgiveness (yet), but she deserves opportunities to change.

My prediction is they'll pull a Skrmetti. They'll claim that there's a difference between being transgender and the need to receive GAC to participate in sports and so state level bans are A-OK by them.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jan 11 CNN: Nice profile of Becky Pepper-Jackson, the 15-yr-old high school sophomore who has never undergone a male puberty but has still been barred by West Virginia from playing school sports and is at the center of the Jan 13 arguments before Supreme Court .

[CNN con't.] -- In a perfect example of trans-baiting, both bills were passed to keep trans girls from supposedly "destroying" school sports but Becky Pepper-Jackson is the _only_ trans girl competing WV has identified just as Lindsay Hecox was the _only_ one ID had identified.

And you keep finding things the more you watch it.

Graham Linehan is cheering for a man who shot a woman in the face while calling her a fucking bitch. JK Rowling sits on her hands. Meanwhile, Posie Parker is tweeting that women should stay at home while men work. Tell me how the "gender critical" movement is a women's rights movement again?

The pattern I see here is most if not all of the "good" batch are ones they used for routine vaccinations decades ago and the others are newer additions. Of note: MMR is still in the "good" batch.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [Plato cont] One wonders how Texas A&M will teach Shakespeare considering at least 5 of his plays (12th Night, As You Like It, etc.) used gender switching as key plot devices and all female roles were originally written for and played by male actors.

I'm not familiar enough with Federal criminal procedure to know when the FBI would be taking over from a detainment made by the Secret Service and arrest by a county sheriff. @esqueer.net or anyone else.can help with this I'd appreciate it...
