Super Duper Villain. Used to love #curling. Best friend of CHESTR. I use my evil powers for good. And I'm #trans. Deal with it.

USA Curling announced today that they are caving to the administration's demands and banning trans women from all sanctioned women's competition.

Here is my open letter to the curling community.

USA Curling Just Sold Our Soul - An Open Letter to US Curlers - Community Post

USA Curling is trying to sell the soul of our sport. They are ceding control of our governing body to the President’s whims.

I'm sad to hear he feels the need to detransition.

Here's the thing... the guys sexting with ChatGPT will probably be too busy to vote.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 17h

Because they, by and large, never had any.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 17h

I'm an older trans woman. I transitioned 15 years ago at age 32.

I made it. Somehow, I made it. I spent my childhood terrified and alone. Hiding in plain sight.

Yes, I made it, but those scars will never heal. Others weren't so lucky.

Please don't allow any more trans kids to suffer like I did.

The following things are inexcusable:

- Performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival
- Calling Whitney Cummings a "comedian"

Whitney Cummings Says Riyadh Comedy Festival Backlash ‘Is Just Racism,’ Claims Stand-Up Comics Who’ve Worked With Live Nation Have ‘Taken Saudi Money’

Whitney Cummings says backlash against the Riyadh Comedy Festival is hypocritical as comedians have taken Saudi money if they worked with Live Nation.

If you're someone who thinks trans people should be forced to deal with their body as it is, you should be forbidden from making any modification to your body.

No surgeries. For anything.

Cancer, heart disease, kidney failure, gangrene?

Aren't they part of God's plan, too?

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 1d

I've been saying that for a looooooong time. ^_^

I really wish I could just have some of the social instincts other people have.

I don't know what is worse: being autistic without knowing or being autistic and knowing.

Hollywood Curling hits it out of the park.

#USACurling #Curling #trans

The document reads:

Since 2007, Hollywood Curling Club (HCC) has proudly established itself as the premiere curling program in the Los Angeles area, and has always welcomed curlers of all kinds. Currently HCC members represent a diverse group of individuals with varying gender identities that have established and helped the club grow over the years.

HCC has no interest in being a part of any national organization that adopts policies that are discriminatory towards its own members, regardless of the context. HCC strongly recommends that USA Curling (USAC) refuse to adopt mandated changes to their policies and stand up for their principles. Doing so will send a message to its membership and the wider community that we, as curlers, will not comply with discriminatory and hateful directives. Discrimination is against the spirit of curling.

If USAC adopts this new policy, then HCC will end affiliation with the organization. USAC participation offers minimal benefit to HCC members while creating less accessibility for current and future members of the sport. What little USAC has to offer in the realm of participation in national and international events would be denied to members by adopting these policies.

Regardless of the course that USAC chooses, HCC will proceed to formally establish an inclusion policy that clearly communicates that curlers of any gender identity are welcome to participate in the club however they choose.

You know. We had an administration that managed a soft landing after the worst pandemic in 100 years, that brought our allies together against a serious Russian threat, and that passed important legislation in THIS political time, and all these morons are like, "But why couldn't you fix EVERYTHING?"

I still hate Apple for their "I'm a Mac. I'm a PC." commercials.

Also, for a company that touts its "genius" so much, you'd think they would know it's "Think DifferentLY!"

Vanilla is the most underrated flavor, however.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 3d

I feel the need to apologize. I didn't mean to bring your joy down. I'm having trouble with envy about other's joy of sports right now, and I need to learn to leave it alone. There is too little joy.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 3d

Being trans sucks. I don't recommend it.

Don't look at my feed, it's all about being banned from competing in my sport. :(

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 4d

I might have to thank USA Curling when this is all over.

I have a fire in me that I haven't had before, and my confidence is growing.

They might have, through their cowardice, inadvertently triggered my transformation into my final form.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 4d

Might be good to get a pair of impact resistant goggles though. Just in case.

It feels like the world is understanding me more all of a sudden. I'm not sure why.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 6d

I'm the Grand High Poobah of the Bedrock chapter of Antifa.

I will also respond to "Queen Antifa"

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 6d

I believe they are billed as "less-lethal," because they still can kill people.

And I invite you to take one of these to your local mall, start pointing it at people, and see for yourself how seriously law enforcement will take you.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 6d

That's probably a good thing.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 6d

They will not shove a shit sandwich down my throat and leave the one on their plate untouched.

Sarah Maywalt @sarahmaywalt.bsky.social · 6d

Also, that didn't go to Dean. That went to the USOPC athlete ombudsman. I certainly don't believe what I wrote about trans women, but I'm very serious about forcing USA Curling to own the decision they made. They are trying to cut us out while avoiding the shit-show.

Are you serious? I was an open mic comic in NYC for 10 years. He has the stage presence of 3-day-old ham sandwich!
