“Birthing people,” for example, is not only inclusive to trans men and nonbinary parents who give birth but also to surrogates or women who plan on making their baby available for adoption and don’t plan on being mothers.

This, of course, is the cultural rub for conservatives and their gender-critical allies, all of whom consider birthing and raising children to be the raison d’être of being a woman.

Instead of being chill about potential differences in life experience, they instead try to force others to conform to their beliefs about womanhood and motherhood. And they enforce this through incessant mockery and outright cruelty. Some, like actress Rose McGowan, attack trans women over the language, even though trans women have literally nothing to do with any of this (because trans women understand that womanhood is more than motherhood destiny).

Literally no one criticizing Bush stopped for a second to listen to her harrowing and painful story, nor do they care a wit about the crisis over Black and Indigenous maternal mortality. Several years ago, racial disparities in maternal mortality rates were ostensibly a bipartisan issue in Congress; now they’re a punch line for every loser on Twitter eager to take a rhetorical punch at trans people.

"Instead of being chill about differences in life experience, trans activists instead try to force others to conform to their beliefs about womanhood and motherhood. And they enforce this through incessant whining, suicide baiting, and outright cruelty toward women who deny them consent."

If your story about maternal mortality is getting drowned out because you're deliberately diverting attention from them by trying to include everyone, that is not your audience's problem. It's a punchline because it is so, so ancillary to the point that it makes it obvious you aren't serious about what you're advocating for. If it were a crisis about Black and Indigenous mothers, guess what phrase she should have used to describe them?

I just read this without reading the larger quoted text and wondered who was the author and what had they done with Kyle Burns? Had Kyle experienced an epiphany after a near brush with death? No, he was just being the same old hypocrite. The projection is off the charts.

Kyle almost died because he got the wrong thyroid prescription and wasn't on a high enough dose.

My favorite part in the thread is how the "Stop sending my advice" tweet comes after he's waffling about whether or not to go to the ER. Yes, Kyle is obviously on top of his medical condition, retards. He got the wrong prescription, noticed something was wrong, then took it for a month, felt like death, asked a question about what he should do about it, and then got mad when people sent him advice.

What an ungrateful asshole. Maybe next time the pharmacy will "accidentally" fill his prescription with bleach.

This was a great exchange.

Sliding into the DMs to give an over-the-internet diagnosis? I have to laugh. This guy does seem weird, but also, Kyle, get off Twitter and drive, for god's sake.

Kyle, letting his delusions go so far as to recommend a book that will tell women to trust their gut when they feel uncomfortable around a man trying to be 'just one of the girls', behaving inappropriately, and calling them a bigot if they don't do what a troon wants.

Kyle forgetting that he's a delusional creep who, as a troon, manipulates women socially into accepting him as one of their own, and suggesting they read a book that will implicitly tell them to stop associating with him because of that manipulation.

He's not very smart. And he's still delusional. Wonder if he's ever going to think it's safe to attack Jesse Singal again, even knowing Singal has receipts of his bullshit.

One day you're a dashing young dame journalist, featured in places like Vox, out on the town in DC running into old flames while buying wine -- the next? You're a "journalist" self publishing on medium writing stories about vidya in between rounds of Overwatch.

And then there are the roads. I’m a rank amateur on Cities: Skylines, with just under 200 hours played. When I make streets and roads, they end up looking like the worst conglomerations of urban spaghetti. I end up jamming in pedestrian connections and bike lines after the fact.

My current build, Springfield, is hopelessly choked with cargo train traffic, and my downtown grid is too compact to place large attractions or buildings. I don’t have the foresight yet to plan for such things.

But these pros frequently build their cities around pedestrians and future uses, planning out intensely interesting and interconnected worlds in increasingly unexpected and delightful ways. It reminds me of watching timelapse videos of artists, who go from sketch to finished work in very satisfying-to-watch content.

Imagining myself in the world of these city builds is one of my favorite ways to consume Cities: Skylines content, especially living in a country with crumbling infrastructure and squabbling politicians.

If you find yourself looking for new game content to consume as the pandemic lifts, check out Cities: Skylines creators. Their videos are filled with unexpected delights.

Still has a job with MSNBC apparently:

Opinion | A lot of energy has been wasted fearing trans athletes

If there’s one takeaway from Laurel Hubbard’s disappointing finish, it’s that trans women are not a threat to women’s sports.

Olympic athlete Laurel Hubbard just shattered a transphobic myth
If there’s one takeaway from Laurel Hubbard’s disappointing finish, it’s that trans women are not a threat to women’s sports.

By Katelyn Burns, MSNBC Opinion Columnist

By all appearances, Olympic weightlifter Laurel Hubbard never sought to be a transgender activist. While the world launched into a passionate debate over her body, gender and potential athletic ability, Hubbard herself didn’t speak much with the press in the runup to the Games. Her job is not to be a trans trailblazer or an outspoken advocate for transgender rights; her job is to lift things up and put them down.

That didn’t stop the breathless and consternated coverage in the right-wing and the British media over Hubbard having an “unfair biological advantage” due to her transgender status. Articles appeared with bold headlines predicting the alleged end of women’s sports if Hubbard were allowed to compete in this year’s Games. After all, the anti-trans argument went, people assigned male at birth are naturally superior at sports and so obviously Hubbard would win.

Only, she didn’t. Not even close.

“Thank you so very much for your interest in my humble sporting performance tonight,” Hubbard said to the media afterward. “I know from a sporting perspective, I did not live up to the standards I put upon myself... I know my participation in these Games has not been entirely without controversy.”

It would appear that women’s sports are still intact, despite years of transphobic and gender critical hand-wringing over trans participation. And the status of women’s sports is hardly determined by one trans competitor competing somewhere in the world in one sport anyway.

But Hubbard still made history by becoming the first openly trans woman to compete in a women’s sport in the Olympics since the International Olympic Committee first allowed trans women to compete as women with bottom surgery in 2004. The IOC later relaxed the rules in 2015, allowing trans women to compete without surgery but under a heavily regulated testosterone limit.

Many trans women tried and failed to qualify for this year’s Games. BMX biker Chelsea Wolfe was an alternate for the U.S. team but didn’t compete. Elsewhere in the U.S., marathoner Megan Youngen finished 306th in the U.S. Olympic trials.

Hubbard’s performance in the Games should undermine many of the arguments against trans inclusion in women’s sports, but it won’t. Ranked number 16 in the world coming in, she wasn’t favored to win the event, but she had an outside chance at a medal. Those unfamiliar with women’s weightlifting assumed that Hubbard would breeze through the competition on the back of her “male biology.” Nothing of the sort occurred.

Naysayers have been decrying the supposed “end of women’s sports” since Renee Richards successfully sued to be able to play on the professional women’s tennis tour in 1976. Now, 50 years later, there’s yet to be a dominant trans woman athlete in any sport, and trans women remain medalless in the Olympics.

The key to realizing why is understanding the science of testosterone. Most basically, testosterone generally helps bodies rebuild muscle faster after workouts and training than estrogen, allowing an athlete with a testosterone-dominant body to work out harder and more often than someone who’s body runs primarily on estrogen.

Olympic rules require transgender women to lower their testosterone level for at least a year straight before being allowed to compete in women’s sports. This typically, although not always, happens with a normally-prescribed regimen of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

That won’t stop the haters from renewing this media circus the next time a trans woman competes in the Olympics.

If there’s one takeaway from Hubbard’s disappointing finish, it’s that trans women are not a threat to women’s sports. We could have spent all those headlines and Twitter threads on the incredible Li Wenwen, who set an Olympic record in the event early Monday.

That may be the most disappointing thing about the discourse over trans athletes: So much time and effort is spent demonizing trans women and calling for their banishment by people who allegedly want to “save women’s sports” that all the other amazing women are just completely ignored.

Loki was a trans story

The Marvel show played with gender dynamics much more than is typical from Disney
katelynburns.medium.com katelynburns.medium.com
(Writer’s note: SPOILERS, obviously. Also please don’t send me death threats, this is just how I experienced the show, it’s fine to disagree.)

Towards the end of the season finale of Marvel Studios’ Loki, a hugely popular TV show on Disney+, the two main characters, Loki and Sylvie share a kiss. Moments later, the Marvel universe literally exploded, forever changed.

At first blush, it’s just another kiss between a man and a woman on screen. But Sylvie is actually a “variant” of Loki. Without explaining the whole premise of the show, which revolves around the antics of the two Lokis and a fascistic organization called the Time Variance Authority, which polices the universe for so-called “variants,” or those who did something in their lives to disturb their predetermined timeline.

Some viewers blanched at the idea of the two Lokis coming together romantically, after all, they are supposed to be two versions of themselves. But I saw the two differently. For me, Sylvie is Loki’s “female side,” and the kiss shared was the Loki gender collective learning to love themselves.

In Norse mythology, and in the Marvel comic books, Loki has always been gender fluid, capable of changing genders at anytime for any reason. But before the show, the MCU version of Loki had always been male-presenting.

The introduction of Sylvie instantly endeared her to my heart. The TVA snatched her away as a small child, as she was playing make believe with some Asgardian dolls. We never learned why the TVA decided to take Sylvie, but it could have just been because she was a girl when she was supposed to be a boy. The scene of her getting hauled into a time portal by a heavily armed police figure hit home.

When I was a small child, I used to secretly pretend to be a girl in my room, sometimes dressing in some of the clothes my mom had stored in the crawlspace behind my closet. At the time, I worried about getting caught, and the potential repercussions. Would my parents decide they didn’t want me anymore? Would I get hauled off to face some grim-faced bureaucrat? Would the police come for me?

I was little, I had no idea what the price would be for my secret thoughts and playtime.

I’m not the only trans person to find Sylvie’s story relatable. Countless friends of mine that I’ve discussed the show with have talked about their connection to her. Trans writer Julia Serano wrote an excellent piece a few weeks ago about how people’s discomfort with the Loki/Sylvie romance could be related to internalized transmisogyny.

Over the course of the show, Loki first comes to terms with his status as a variant, and he and Sylvie eventually bond over their mutual mischievousness. At one point, Loki acknowledges his bisexuality, the first time a major MCU character has openly stated that they’re queer.

To me, it was deeply symbolic that the moment Loki fully embraces his love for Sylvie, his female self, the universe explodes into a multiverse, with all its scary and potentially wonderful possibilities. It felt familiar to my own transition, where at first everything blew up, I got divorced, moved out of my house away from my kids, and then slowly built up a new life, eventually moving into a better career and moving to a new city.

My own multiverse, if you will.

"Who would ever women's sports...", indeed. This man is a writer btw. I didn't watch Hubbard, but I would assume he lost because he is a fat genetic failure. He can half-ass his way past a lot of women with biology, but eventually he will meet competitors with real talent at the far end of the genetic bell curve that can beat him. I also assume that lots of athletes at the Olympic level juice. That helps too.
