'Heated Rivalry' dares to ask: Why should queer athletes be forced to choose between their identity and their sport?

For @theflytrapmedia.com, I wrote about how I saw my own queer athlete closet reflected back to me in Heated Rivalry in the most amazing way possible.

This is the first state to pass a statute that invalidates existing licenses and birth certificates. We may see more states pass similar legislation this year. This is the next step they're moving towards. Ensuring that trans people are pushed out of public life entirely.

The bill will likely be vetoed but is almost certainly going to be overridden.
The bill invalidates current drivers licenses and birth certificates of trans people who have amended them previously to align with their gender identity.
This is one of the most extreme bill to pass.

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day
one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

I learned a long time ago that as a trans woman, i could never get overly attached to a public figure.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.

Brianna met her killer at school. The killers used Tor to watch snuff videos on the dark web. The BBC and Sky initially omitted that was transgender from their coverage. The Tory party wanted her to be buried under her deadname.

It's a complete policy failure that 3 men es control basically all of social media, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Larry Ellison. They control what we see, what we can share, and ultimately how we perceive reality. This is too much power on too few hands. These companies must be broken up.
