Here's a question: How many stupid judges does it take to ruin a society?

I don't know the answer, but I also don't want to find out. I agree that insane decisions like these (saying an all women sorority has to invite a man who says he's a woman in, even if he doesn't meet the other criteria, such as GPA) will at least lead to appeals and news stories. Hopefully, our appellate judges will do the right thing, but there is no guarantee. Fingers crossed!

I agree that someone like Jazz Jennings, having been deprived of exposure to natural puberty and the male hormones that would bring out secondary sex characteristics of a male-bodied individual and having been pumped full of synthetic estrogen and having been castrated and penis-inverted, would be a fine candidate for an all women sorority as, although this person is not female, the differences are minimal at this point. However, I hesitate to state that too strongly lest it appear that I think there should be any more young boys put in that situation.

The only judges who will stop this madness are Republicans, appointed (at the federal level) by a Republican president.

100% yes, and no -- not a single boy should ever again be "Jazzed." Honestly, my heart weeps for that young man, and I never intend to make fun of him, but he does have a reality TV show, and he is a recognizable example of what, idk, 97%? of men with woman identities are NOT, because of course they are all AGP like our 'Artemis.' I truly think our woke 'defendants' have no inkling about AGP, and that was my starting point. I feel like I could write another 500 words in reply, but maybe we should just do another pod convo -- what do you say? :)
