Hey, Christa, Zimbabwe chased the white farmers and now after Mugabe screwed them, they beg the white farmers to come back.I guess Christa hasn't seen the pictures. If she has, no doubt she, as a white woman, thinks other white women being tortured to death funny.
I know everyone dunks on India for it, but isn’t South Africa the rape capital of the world?
In the rest of the article, the writer interviews a guy who wrote a book about a Czechoslovakian "trans" athlete, Zdeňka/Zdeněk Koubek, who competed at the Women's World Games in 1934 and then became famous when he announced that he was going to live as a man the next year.Despite being a time when people from all over the world come together in equality and peace, the Olympics are still uncertain territory for transgender athletes. There are no transgender athletes who are competing outside of the gender they were assigned at birth at this year’s Games. Transgender women who transitioned after puberty aren’t allowed to compete in major sports on a college level.
Athletes Nikki Hiltz, a runner, and Hergie Bacyadan, a boxer, both identify as transgender (Hiltz also identifies as nonbinary), but both have always and continue to compete in the women’s division, which is the sex they were assigned at birth.
Athletes who do not identify as trans, like Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, have also been scrutinized for their gender. Along with China’s Lin Yu-ting, Khelif is one of two women boxers who failed a “sex test” from the International Boxing Association last year. They have since been connected to discussions of sports and Differences of Sexual Development (DSD), a rare group of genetic and hormonal disorders allowed under International Olympic Committee guidelines. After Khelif’s Italian competitor Angela Carini conceded their match less than a minute into their bout, many have weighed in, including Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling.
Outside of the Games, trans people face so much backlash, often for simply existing. The conversation around sports is particularly fraught, from children’s athletics right up through the pros. Despite the International Olympic Committee vowing to be more inclusive, the future for trans athletes is unclear.
It all raises the question: How did we get to this point, and did it always have to be this way?
However, he neglects to mention that this "trans" athlete appears to have been a man with an intersex condition/DSD (this Czech page mentions something about a congenital defect/"cleft scrotum") who underwent surgery later, i.e. he would be comparable to someone like Erik Schinegger and not someone like Laurel Hubbard (Schninegger is not considered to be a troon). Plus unlike troon athletes who go out of their way to compete against women, Koubek retired from women's sports immediately afterwards and wanted to compete against men.The answers found in historian and journalist Michael Waters’s The Other Olympians: Fascism, Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports might be surprising. Waters’s book traces the emergence of Zdeněk Koubek, a track and field star representing the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia who, at 21, won two medals — a gold in the 800m and a bronze in the long jump — at the 1934 Women’s World Games. (The Women’s World Games was the precursor to women competing at the Olympics). In 1935, Koubek announced that he would be living life as a man and swiftly became an international celebrity.
Perhaps the most intriguing facet to Koubek’s story was in the public response. Koubek was more welcomed and celebrated than we might imagine. There was an open-mindedness and empathy to the reception of Koubek and his gender identity and expression in the 1930s.
Waters also pinpoints where and when that changed, specifically at the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany. Armed with a propensity for eugenics, gender anxiety, and a startling lack of scientific evidence, a small set of Nazi officials influenced the International Olympic Committee into gender surveillance and trans panic — stuff that eerily mirrors the transphobic attacks that athletes, cis and trans alike, face today.
In reading Waters’s account of Koubek and other trans and intersex athletes’ lives, it all feels like those Olympics were a breaking point. The Nazi era has substantially shaped the conversation surrounding trans athletes today.
This conversation was edited and condensed for length and clarity. As Waters notes in The Other Olympians, we use different and more specific language to signify transgender and intersex identity today, making it difficult to fully translate stories from the past into contemporary language. We refer to Koubek with male pronouns because that’s how he expressed his gender identity publicly after his transition.
And they wonder why Vox did some layoffs...VOX writer explains why it's literally Nazi Germany behavior to not let male athletes, troon identified or with DSDs, compete against women.

Update: I meant the USA Today crossword. I am not even good at autism.One of the LA Times crossword's editors is a troon, but I forgot which one.
I just assume anyone using they or "significant other" when sex of the person in question is obvious is either an ideologue or a thoroughly indoctrinated dimwit. It's all based on the idea you can actually be the opposite sex, which is patently ridiculous. Same goes for treating "gender" as anything but a less icky word for sex.-guide to speaking like a retard-
Gee, I wonder why the IOC would so aggressively test a team with a long history of doping their athletes. Must be nothing but racism!Person of Shit threatens to spit on any white person she comes across, because it's rude to expect her to move. Archive.

Spitting on someone is considered assault. Better hope you don't have TB.
More like hollywood is finally bleeding out.Hollywood Is Abandoning "The Message" (The Critical Drinker)
If so, maybe a sign of Current Year ending sometime before ∞?

I could imagine the latter. On Reddit there are many of these posts of where Brexit was wrong and here's examples of conservatives regretting their choices. They're trying to scare the Americans with Project 2025. As if Trump is the first domino and by pushing him down the United States will become a Christian theocracy.View attachment 6287355
Not sure if an American or a Bong made this, but either way: the UK's citizens need a license to WATCH TV, but lets migrants do whatever the hell they want.
So-called "identity politics" really is a better name than "woke" -- wannabe commies seem to think of "identity" as a collective. And also as holy -- if the "identity" in question is deemed a "marginalized community" by the "progressive" cult. And of course SJWs also overthink interactions with people of different "communities" of "identity" in a BS "oppressor" and "marginalized" dynamic: politics.I miss the term "identity politics" because it is a more self-descriptive name than "woke".
So along with the likes of Anita Sarkeesian, Susan Wojcicki* is one of the founders of Clown World? What are some examples of the crappy or outright BS decisions she made?Most of her decisions were awful and led to the state youtube is today, without mentioning she was one of the OG advocates for cancel culture so we will still suffer the consequences of her decisions for quite sometime.
