“Riley Gaines 'ambushed and physically hit' after Saving Women's Sports speech at San Francisco State”. This was reported yesterday and she says she was hit by a “man in a dress “. The audacity of her to misgender! This is why we need free speech for some on campus but obviously can not allow Catholics and TERFs to voice their opinions. The man in the dress who hit her is the victim here because words are violence to her ears.

And when you say, "her ears," I assume you are referring to the ears of the man in the dress? Did I get that right? The astonishing modern plasticity of gender is making it hard to keep up. And the plasticity of the language that goes with it reminds me that centerpiece of the story of the Tower of Babel was not the tower, but the linguistic curse.

Yes, the man in the dress who did the punching is a her. Who knows? Maybe the man in the dress was pregnant and feeling like her day was ruined because of the speech.

Might have been hormonal irritability, just a simple matter of his encounter with Gaines coinciding with the time of the month when he was at his most feminine.

Biden’s rules thread the needle and will protect women’s NCAA scholarship sports from biological males. I’m sure Republicans will feign outrage that junior high girls cross country is being destroyed by biological males. ;)

The solution of course is to eliminate both men’s and women’s divisions and simply have one level playing field (pool, court, boxing ring, etc) in which both males and females can compete. No more “just for males”, just for females”, or need to make complicated legislation. Each public college, high school and grade school to have only one combined male and female teams for football, soccer, basketball ball, etc. The best will prevail and no need to separate them in anachronistic notions of gender. Trans rights are Human Rights!

Why is it feminist say that want to compete equally with men but then cry foul when you suggest they get on the same field? Could it be that they are not equal in some ways? Of course it could. How could women not see that by demanding to be on the boys and men’s teams, the day would come when the boys and men would demand to be on the female teams?

What’s wrong with a level playing field for both males and females? Seems aligned with principles of diversity, inclusion and equity. Having separate teams is obviously less diverse (because it eliminates one gender), less inclusive (because it doesn’t include one gender), and equity (because it treats genders as unequal by having them on different fields).
