Two stories with a number of loose connections, and both involve bigotry...

I can't believe I have to agree with that sanctimonious Queen Q hag, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

A national divorce is the only way we're getting out of all this "alive"...

This whole thing about the LGBTQ community, and the supposed "Save Women's Sports" bullshit is gonna get people killed otherwise.  In fact, last weekend, a CPAC jackass openly told the annual conference that transgenderism needs to be eradicated absolutely -- meaning they die, their allies die, the entire medical infrastructure (physical and mental) dies, shall we go on?

But it is clear that, if there were any real remaining support in at least circles of this country for the LGBTQ community, it's evaporating very quickly.

Two stories out of Minnesota over the last week have shone the spotlight on a lot of this garbage...

The first is the continuing disintegration of relations between the LGBTQ community and the National Hockey League, with the Minnesota Wild becoming the fourth team in the NHL (Chicago, Philadelphia, and the Rangers) to have to scale back or cancel their Pride Night festivities, centered around the team wearing LGBTQ-friendly warmups for eventual auction to LGBTQ charities in the areas.

And Keith Olbermann on today's iHeart Radio Countdown podcast may finally have caught them out as to why.

It now appears that, since the game's most sacred record (the career scoring record) is about to fall to an avowed pro-Putin terrorist in Alexandr Ovechkin, the Russians are gaining a material political foothold in the National Hockey League.

Russians on at least three of the four teams listed, including the Wild, refused to take part in the Pride Night festivities, either forcing their teams to excuse them from the warm-up periods or scrap the events entirely.

It's clear that the league has a significant political Russian element to it -- and that's not saying specifically that it has to do with the Libertarian and Republican terrorism in this country...

That's in sharp contrast to Sage Steele and ESPN, who may have taken another few scraps of mask off the Worldwide Leader in condemning a Minnesota Supreme Court decision last week.

The Minnesota Supreme Court correctly (and this is shocking, because this whole anti-trans sports situation basically began with a Minnesota full-page ad demanding the MSHSL ban transgenders from women's sports, saying the only alternative would be to get rid of women's sports due to the "unfairness") ruled JayCee Cooper, a transgender MTF athlete, must be allowed by USA Powerlifting under the Minnesota Human Rights Act to compete in the women's division.

The situation has gotten so pronounced that the MSN article from the National Review (with a conservatively-loaded headline, by the by...) now cites almost 200 different races and organizations who have, effectively, created a "third division" -- either based on non-binary status, transgender, some combination of those athletes, or a truly "open division".

Steele blasted the decision on all the conservative talking points.

Look, BITCH...

The only damn reason you are on ESPN at all (commentator or if you were a female athlete (cisgender or otherwise)) is because the law mandates women's sports at public institutions which have men's sports.

It's called Title IX -- and if what I think is about to happen in this country happens, it's about 24 months from extinction.

Once that happens, women's sports is DONE in this country.  And I'll give you three reasons immediately:

1) I defy you to find a female athlete of prominence who does not fall into one or more of these categories:

• Sex object -- be it from their looks, the sport they are in, their outfit to compete in said sport, or some combination
• "Horse-faced Lesbian", as many bigots and misogynists view the WNBA and LPGA (so much so, the LPGA no longer exists as a purely American tour -- that now is a worldwide women's golf tour)
• a high-testosterone cis-female (example:  The Williams sisters -- and you remember they were called men by no less than the head of the Russian Tennis Federation at the time, for which he was expelled from the WTA)
• or a transgender athlete?

Remember (and, for the purposes of convention, I will throw Differences in Sexual Development (DSD) into the third quadrant of this -- though many bigots want to throw Castor Semenya and others into the fourth!) that all three of the 2016 medalists at 800 meters for the women at the Olympic Games were DSD.

It's one of the reasons World Athletics gaslighted the whole mess by banning Semenya and other DSD athletes from meaningful racing.

But the fact of the matter is:  You are not only seeing violent attacks against transgender athletes, you are also seeing cis-female athletes be called transgender because they are "too good" or "too much better than their competition and they have to be trans to be that good!!".  One of the latter already in Utah.

You realize that ends only one way...  (I'll get to that in a second.)

2) Loathe for me to agree with the bigot Karl Denninger, but, in another of his screeds on The Market Ticker about the subject, he has this to say about women's sports in general, vis-a-vis the legal force Title IX places on most schools to force women's sports to exist:

"That's the problem with Title IX; it presumes that the funding must be literally forced out of other's wallets with a gun up the asshole. That's bullshit. If there's a market for it then someone will fund it. That's how market economies work.

There are many things I might WANT but there's no market for them, thus they don't get delivered. Why should girl's sports (or ANY item for that matter) be given an exemption from this basic principle, particularly when the "exemption" requires shoving a gun in your face and threatening to kill you if you don't cough up the money?"

I have long been trying to tell these bigots that the only reason women's sports exist on any level is legal force.  That, in a general "free market" sense, there is no sufficient (non-prurient -- stories actually are coming out about creeps trying to go after girls after sporting events and getting a "surprise") interest in women's and girls' sports, except either by legal force or a means to attempt the eradication of transgenderism in this country.

In short, once they can get the trans athletes out of the way, they'll just outlaw Title IX as an unconstitutional hindrance of the compelling government interest -- especially as some states are now reversing child labor laws (Sarah Huckabee-Sanders in Arkansas) or trying to re-emphasize child marriage (the West Virginia legislature shot down a statute banning the practice, one of twelve states to allow for it -- and, in the first two decades of this century, over 300,000 minors were married).

3) It gets back to that Damon Bruce piece I wrote about some years ago, and put the Debbie Gibson picture in a leotard on the floor of Madison Square Garden:  What place do women have in sports?

In fact, if you get to this small sampling of Denninger readers on that same post on The Market Ticker, what place (other than to try to use them as pawns against other demographics Republican Nazis and Libertarian Nazis want eliminated) do they have at all?

• "Society cant [sic] survive women voting."
• "Title IX is garbage. Universities cite it to cut men's programs like wrestling or gymnastics. Remind me where are the women's football teams?"  (Forgetting, of course, that's the entire point of Title IX, to give women the opportunity to compete -- that is, unless you never wanted them to or tried to grope one and found out she wasn't cisgender...)
• A number of the bigots over there got into a discussion on, that if women wanted rights, they should be forced to be in the Selective Service, like their male counterparts.
• At least two proposed outright in-game violence on transgender athletes, including:  "I always thought I would forfeit if a tranny went out on the floor in a HS volleyball match. Better idea. Take 6 boys that want to play volleyball for the boys in the Winter, make them assistants or managers on the girls team, but carry them on a 19 person roster (if I am not limited).  If the opposing coach puts out a tranny, I sub out all six of my girls and give the boys the order to unleash hell."  The other proposed hard-fouling a transgender girls' basketball player -- saying they had six to give (or five).
• Or even this general misogynistic view:  "Social collapse will be the ultimate reckoning forced upon the ladies as feral humans couldn't give a rat's ass about 'rights' or respecting women.  Karens will end-up with black eyes and bloody lips talking back to men who don't give a fuck. Physically women are going to find out they are the weaker sex regardless of what they WANT to believe.  40, 50, 100 years of women working to be independent and politically equal to men is going to blow-up in their face and if they aren't careful, barefoot and pregnant is going to be their highest calling.  Sorry to say, but once we stop being woke because we're broke the ladies are going to face a harsh world of their creation.  Ass, gas or grass is going to delineate who gets fed and who starves..." (Feral humans such as yourself?)

Anyone who thinks this isn't just Step One is fooling themselves.

Sage Steele needs to be fucking fired -- TODAY -- from ESPN.  Because she has no place there if she chooses not respect women, all demographics of such.

Sage, walk.  Bitch.  Because if the Republican movement to abolish transgenderism succeeds, women's sports has about one season before people realize how many of the athletes are, one way or another, viewed as such, even if they are completely cisgender.

Anyone who is such a bigot is, whether they choose to admit it or not, calling for the end of women's sports, because all of it is a matter of legal force in the first place, and the only way you could get away with trying to be this bigoted is to then state they were not created by God -- and then good luck with that one!

And, in closing, there's the small fact that Joe Biden may a Day-One priority of including transgenderism in Title IX.  You want trans kids out and gone?  You're going to have to kill Title IX as well, and that's just the start of it!
