Exactly. It's the biggest clue that the fairness argument is just a cover for bigotry.

It's a small sample size, but are there any examples of an advantage for trans women in sports in any of the practical examples we have?

Like in 2e (and BG 1 and 2) playing a kensai fighter and dual classing over to Wizard. There was a Monk/Sorcerer prestige class in 3e. I've got a thing for Gishes and for Monks so this is chocolate in my peanut butter.

The second is basically just a montage of all the ICE brutality, fully masked and standing around. The whole time, Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name plays and the lyrics are prominently overlayed on the screen so there's no doubt. "Some of those that work forces."

I think Trump, who has a really dull brain that is incapable of subtext or subtlety says "cancel elections," but then the army of Heritage Foundation toadies figure out the legal framework to effectively do the same thing (like voter suppression). Then they try to get Trump to say the "legal" thing.

I think it's self-selecting. Eventually, people of conscience can no longer stomach working there and get jobs elsewhere until you're left with a company full of sociopathic chuds.

It makes sense. The game Risk is about global military dominance in a previous century roughly commensurate with his economic policy and racial politics.

Come on. This is a memo sent by Third Way, Part 2. Not internally by other democrats.
