Comply with the Nazis. This is fine. 🫠
- A little while later: "Why is no one protecting me?" they screamed, while being dragged away by the ~~stasi~~ police/sheriff/FBI/CIA/DIY/ATF/secret police.
  
  People rights are slowly being taken away, but no one cares until it effects them directly. At which point it to late.
- Feels like the turnaround on this means they were just itching to do it.
An EO for less than 10 fucking people. Absurd.
Women should quit NCAA in protest. But they won't, because reasons. Seem to be OK with massive spending differentials between men and women sports but still participate anyway.
- They won't because they have to pay for college and they are taking advantage of sports scholarships. They're kind of fucked here and it really shouldn't be put on them to do something like that.
  
  It's a matter of numbers. The bosses always pretend they'll just fire people for defiance, but if whole teams strike they don't really have a way to pull that off without grievously harming their business. (And while the NCAA is itself a nonprofit, it definitely has business interests.)
  It's not fair, but solidarity and social resistance is going to involve good people taking risks when they could have just gone along instead. That's the whole meaning of the 'First they came for' poem.
- Both women and men should quit NCAA in protest. Trans men exist just as much as trans women.
  I suppose Donny will be personally inspecting each and evey single athlete before a game?

Why do i get a feeling that stopping trans women from competing in women's sports is not about protecting women?
Could it be about protecting men from mixed emotions when they find themselves feeling attracted to a trans women.
It should be done. All this shit is low hanging fruit that helps conservatives win elections like having drag queens read to kids. Drag queens for the most part aren’t even transgender, trying to include them into the movement is bullshit considering past drag queen comedy is why Transgender people weren’t being taking serious by Boomers. Because they view transgenderism from fetishism and comedy. I believe in every other aspect trans people being included but stop helping conservatives win in battles that barely effect trans people. This has to suck for the athletes.
