Publicly calling for mass, summary executions is unacceptable.
And also, there’s a serious problem with the unaccountable power that Silicon Valley technology CEOs have over our lives and public communication.
There are legitimate worries about where a (now) politically expedient set of actions, regarding a longstanding problem, is going to end. And there are many reasons to think that the people charged with making decisions about this are going to overreach, as they have done before.
People across the political spectrum are trying to find our way in a changed landscape.
A lot of us have questions that aren’t even being honestly addressed by the people we would have once trusted. If you can’t talk about what the true problem is, how can you solve it?
If all your decisions are clearly being made based on whether or not you agree with someone, or like them, or if you only express opinions about someone that you can benefit from, how can those decisions be trusted to be just and fair?
The US political left is full of ‘brave’ people who read the opposition “so you don’t have to,” and ‘good’ people who define goodness based on the opinions that someone is willing to read.
And there is not a lot of reading going on, on the US left-of-center anymore. The SJWs, the woke, the Too Online, whatever anyone is calling them these days, bearing in mind that the woke include all the lead editors of our national flagship media outlets.
There are people issuing calls for us to apologize for the violence in DC last week—based on our associations with conservatives—who haven’t even read enough about the people they’re criticizing to know that we, and all the groups we’ve worked with, condemned it that day.
There are people who’ve spent the whole year denouncing political violence in the US, and have continued to do so, even when it might have been tempting to do otherwise. If the country is to continue to be a nation of laws, and reject “might makes right,” this is the way:
There are people on the US left who profess they would do anything to stop the hatred and division in evidence. Anything besides have a conversation, or make friends, with someone they disagree with.
First, it was just about “punching Nazis.” Then it seemed like there were an awful lot more “Nazis” being claimed to exist in the US than was probable. Now, even the ostensibly hated police can be celebrated for killing an unarmed woman if she was a “Nazi.”
It’s okay now to just call a fellow citizen a “pile of meat.” For justice and goodness and the American way. According to some.
It’s normal now to defend looting, too. Who could have seen that coming?

‘Oh, it’s insured, it’s no big deal that someone’s entire family business just burned down.’
npr.org/sections/codes…
It’s tempting for everyone, including us, to draw from the perspective of the things we’ve seen going wrong over the last few years, and say that we’ve found The Cause. But it seems more likely that we’ve all found a lot of symptoms of a very widespread problem.
We should all try to figure it out together, like proper citizens of a liberal democracy who are committed to Enlightenment ideals, before joining a mob becomes the preferred method of problem solving.

That wouldn’t be good for anyone, and definitely not for women and girls.

This Department of Education memo, from the Office for Civil Rights, is a well-reasoned rejoinder to the Bostock decision, taking the justices at their word and protecting sex-based Title IX rights.
www2.ed.gov/about/offices/… Image
“Title IX, for example, contains numerous exceptions authorizing or allowing sex-separate activities and intimate facilities to be provided separately on the basis of biological sex or for members of each biological sex.” Image
“[The] Department’s longstanding construction of the term “sex” in Title IX to mean biological sex, male or female, is the only construction consistent with the ordinary public meaning of “sex” at the time of Title IX’s enactment.”

Let’s hope the courts at least read this.

Here’s how the gender identity influence game works. If you don’t agree that men can be women if they say so, the ACLU will sue you, and monster you as a threat to “all women.” By which they also mean men.
All of these “women’s rights groups,” who’ve signed on to ACLU’s war on women’s rights, including sports, would be turned on and destroyed by ‘progressive’ MRAs like the ACLU crowd. They’d be vilified to donors, politicians, and the public, as violent, evil bigots.
Guess how we know that ...

In the UK, the original Gender Recognition Act (GRA) set aside a legal class for people who were diagnosed as transsexual and wanted to generally be seen as the opposite sex. MPs foresaw many potential problems with this ...
... but the answer in every case was that there were so few of these people that problems would be rare if they happened at all. Getting a gender recognition certificate also did not prevent necessary exemptions for single-sex spaces ...
... so the idea was that it wouldn’t be a problem anywhere that mattered. That was fine for so long, that when the Women and Equalities Committee looked to revise the law in 2015, they didn’t bother consulting with any feminists or women’s groups. ...

Some feminists have refused to accept, and therefore fully address the implications of, the systematic ostracism of anyone who shares our ideas from the power structures of left leaning political parties. Such a thorough un-personning and deplatforming wasn’t an accident.
It doesn’t matter what our own political ideas mark us as on an independent, objective political spectrum scale.

What matters is that the people who hold physical possession of the movements we care about, and may have helped build, have put us in their “Nazi” box.
No one will be heard whom the people in possession of the material assets, and social capital, of these movements, have marked as untouchable in this way. The woke staffers (they will all be woke) will likely never let your criticism reach the Great Man, or, now, the Great Woman.

Arguments were heard in this case Thursday: Why might a case involving a Christian conservative male professor matter to women & girls generally? Everyone has the right to discuss these issues, but women and girls have the most personal & immediate need.

From our brief, re: significance of claims made under the auspices of “gender identity,” “WoLF is particularly concerned that it deprives women who appear before the court of the ability to speak accurately about the issues they face as a sex-class.”

“WoLF maintains that preserving and advancing women’s rights, liberties, and other interests necessitates a recognition of sex, consistent with the longstanding meaning of that term ...”

This is what the Human Rights Campaign has in mind for women’s rights for the next 4 years; a total elimination of legal sex recognition in every place in the law where it still matters and helps women.
hrc.org/press-releases…
We said when the Bostock decision came down, that this was the likely interpretation that gender activists would push: “Ensure consistent administrative implementation of Bostock v. Clayton County across all agencies enforcing civil rights statutes and provisions;”
We discussed this then, as it was the expectation that the ACLU, ADF, and most other legal observers had, that Bostock meant “gender identity” and “transgender status” would impose recognition of gender claims overriding otherwise lawful, sex-based rules.
