Watching some more video from the #LetJulieSwim rally in Port Townsend, & really disappointed to see the police letting trans rights extremists intimidating, and physically assaulting women exercising their 1A right. #LetWomenSpeak#WomensRights
Reminder to elected officials of Port Townsend, WA 👉 older Americans are the most reliable voter block. Who pays taxes to keep your town running? (Hint: it's not the petulant activists living in their parents' basements.) #LetJulieSwim#LetWomenSpeakthedistance.substack.com/p/mayor-police…
Attacking women in their 70s & 80s to keep them from speaking is not a way to win hearts & minds. It makes you look like cowards who know you have no real arguments to make. All you have left is physical intimidation & assault. I hope you get arrested.
Though with cops like these, I won't hold my breath. 6 (or more?) of them hiding across the street, and when told that "little old ladies" were getting pushed around, a cop said they should leave if they don't feel safe. Senior citizens have a right to #freeSpeech, too.
I'm in my 40s, but I cannot stand to see older Americans being treated this way by our institutions. If the people don't feel safe speaking, the police need to DO THEIR JOBS to put space between the speakers & the mob.
They weren't asking you to save a school from a shooter, FFS. Act like cowards, get treated like cowards. Act honorably & get treated honorably (at least by the ppl who pay your salaries, the taxpayers).
.@kittypurrzog gave an intro: “An 80-yr-old women was banned from a YMCA bc she saw a TW, she didn’t realize that this person was a TW, she thought it was a guy, in a locker room, it was an employee of the Y, & this person was watching little girls change."
also @kittypurrzog describing what Julie Jaman heard while she was in the shower at the @ymca (emphasis mine): “She heard WHAT SHE PERCEIVED as a male voice, & saw these little girls in the changing room.”
Even if it’s just 1 they’re taking the spot that would otherwise go to a girl. If that 1 TG athlete excels in a competitive sport they will be displacing a spot that would otherwise go to a girl, then at the county level, then at the state level, then at the national. 1️⃣
At each level of competition girls will be displaced by that 1 person, missing a chance to compete & potentially scholarships created to help FEMALES. Go to @boysvswomen to see how #sexMatters in sports—stats show HIGH SCHOOL boys beating female OLYMPIC athletes. 2️⃣
Sports is a competition between bodies, not feelings about bodies. No one wants transgender athletes banned from sports, we want them to compete within their sex class. 3️⃣
Interesting discussion between Dr. Erica Li @CritMedTheory & @BenjaminABoyce on her family's life in Communist China, her experience as an immigrant, & the way CRT is impacting medicine.
Cultural Revolution in China & America | with Erica Li via @YouTube
At 48:23 Dr. Li talks about how CRT is being implemented in medical schools via the med school accrediting body the American Association of Medical Colleges, and how this will affect what med students learn (and eventually, all of us as patients).
At 54:27 Dr. Li shares anecdotes from colleagues, including one about med students & residents in Oklahoma ABANDONING PATIENTS mid-shift bc of perceived micro-aggressions, completely antithetical to medical ethics.
Many European countries that were ahead of the US in treating kids with GD have reversed course in last year (UK, France, Finland, Sweden) bc there isn't enough evidence that these treatments have benefits worth the risks. 1/9
The risks of using puberty blockers on children are not being openly discussed in the US as of yet. Recently, gender specialists, some trans themselves, started blowing the whistle. 2/9
Gender affirming' surgeon admits children who undergo transition before puberty NEVER attain sexual satisfaction.
👉 Can a child consent to give up, for their entire life, an experience they’re too young to even understand?
