I work in an environmental lab. We test for pesticides. If I wanted to have a discussion with colleagues on X about how to best differentiate between cis and trans chlordane or permethrin, it would be flagged as “harmful”. Thanks, Elon.

There are two sexes. Not two genders. Feminism 101. The political right essentialises gender (regressive sex stereotypes) onto sex. Queer theory essentialises gender onto sex. Feminism disaggregates sex and gender. Recognises the material reality of sex. Dismantles gender.
It is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.

Khelif: “I have the SRY gene and need to lower my testosterone for competition” You: “it’s unclear whether she has a DSD” You’re simply not playing with a full deck. You are playing tennis without the net. This talk is untethered from reality. Please snap out of it.

I’m prevented from replying anywhere in that thread because your coward friend refuses to confront the facts presented to her. Would YOU like to confront them? Or will you continue to dodge the SRY+T reality? Choose.
yeah she did... so fucking what? no one is debating that. but do you really think a country that is anti trans would allow a baby with male gentiles to be raised female whether or not they function?

There is no mechanism by which the SRY gene would cause high testosterone that doesn’t involve functioning testes. Females don’t have functioning testes. Stating these facts make you look “dumb” and “bigoted” to some people. It’s an odd world we live in.

You’re RIGHT! There IS a difference between sex and gender! So can you now make the case for why it is better to segregate sports categories by gender and not sex? Please do. I’m dying to hear it.
Replying to @akuareindorf
so female trans athletes are 'some men'? You do not recognise the difference between sex and gender, I guess.

You don’t need to be a geneticist, you just need to be an impartial, informed person who’s not TRYING to come up with any way imaginable to argue what clearly happened didn’t happen. And what happened was: a bio male won a gold medal competing against females in a combat sport.

This happened on the world stage in our lifetimes, friend. Start accepting it. It happened.

….and that people with that condition would be disadvantaged even amongst *other females*. Nevermind she is *clearly androgenized*. Nevermind that if she had Swyer, she would’ve competed in Eindhoven instead of challenging the eligibility rules which *don’t exclude Swyer*.

Nevermind all of that. Because you’re not interested in just looking at the evidence and dispassionately determining what’s obviously true. Instead you’re determined to MAKE THE CASE for Khelif *despite* the evidence. You’ve been found out. You’re busted. Better luck next time.✌️

SRY gene… XY chromosomes… elevated testosterone… She’s male, Dray. Put it together. Your nose is pressed firmly against the tree, and you’re not seeing the forest behind it. Call her a woman all day. Personally, I don’t misgender her. But she’s male. This is the truth.

5-ARD is a KNOWN problem in women’s sport. This has been going on for decades. It’s a controversy BECAUSE they’re male. Now you know. Now you’re better informed. You probably won’t thank me because you still think I’m on the wrong “team”. I’m not. I just care about what’s true.

I do not support a ban on transgender athletes at the Olympics. I support having separate sports categories based on sex and not gender. Because gender-based sports categorization would be incredibly stupid. This should be obvious to everyone.

Quick tip for anyone whose first instinct is to defend this administration after what’s going on with ICE in Minneapolis: Get yourself a box of these popsicles. That way you can lick Boots in the privacy of your own home, and I don’t have to see it on my fucking twitter feed.

The lesson of the Covington and Smollett hoaxes was to calm down and wait for more information before making assertions. Is DHS doing that right now? Is Stephen Miller doing that? No, they’re expressing certainty that the victim was trying to massacre law enforcement. They are the ones not learning from Covington right now.
I’m too old for the Covington Smollette kids in cages time magazine kid crying on the cover ICE agent using kids as bait hoaxes. Zero patience for this nonsense.

Ladies and gentleman I present to you the current reigning world champion of free speech in America.
Teaching people to hate America fundamentally destroys patriotism and the desire to defend our country. Such teachings should be viewed as treason and those who do it imprisoned.
