The David Brooks op-ed is extremely good. He’s clearly done his homework, and his reasoning is excellent. I also recommend watching the discussion in Parliament on the Cass Review. Atkins is, as they say across the pond, on top of her brief, and her fielding of questions is a sight to behold. There may be a better link, but this is the one I could find, and I think it is complete: https://youtu.be/DOML7cXul_8?feature=shared

Thanks for sharing the link from Parliament, Susan. Worth a listen - particularly for the moments of bipartisanship (see MP Rosie Duffield's exchange with Atkins) about 30 min in. How we need that here!

I had the same thought. If only!

Yes, I watched some of this footage and found it thrilling to see a national politician speak so firmly and clearly. Do watch it!

Thanks so much for this link to a fascinating discussion in Parliament. I can only hope that we’ll soon see some positive changes here in the US from the Cass Review.

Girls and women must freeze at the starting block, refuse to compete against males. I have recurring nightmares about my ex-husband, a crossdressing amateur martial arts practitioner. I have nightmares about his anger. The women he competes against are truly at risk.

FYI: on the Title IX regs, along with sports, single-sex living facilities do not appear to be addressed in these regs: Times report notes the following: “The administration reiterated that while exclusion from an activity based on gender identity causes harm, the new rule does not extend to single-sex living facilities or sports teams.”

So glad the truth is coming out. It's about damn time. I can't stand Joe Biden at this point.
