I have no clue how the Guardian was convinced to run this after helping lead the assault on trans rights, but yes, all of this.
Sports saved my life. My one big regret about not transitioning earlier is that I could have played soccer with my sister in high school if I had.

NEW: Five trans youth athletes speak out about what school sports means to them + the toll of exclusion.
"Sports is my escape" -Lina, 14-yr-old tennis + track athlete. "We’re just kids. We’re just trying to have fun…We’re not trying to be monsters. We’re just trying to find connection + community."

Congratulations to those who “just have some common sense concerns“ on the world you built, where states are passing laws to terrorize one child
On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.
Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

can we impeach jeffries too at this point?
Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

I keep coming back to the fact that Indiana's uniforms are still cool as hell because the team was never good enough for anyone to go Design Intern Liquid Metal on them
There’s no way to really properly put it in context besides repetition: This is the greatest turnaround I’ve ever seen or that you’ve ever seen

I‘m somewhat inured to it, but every now and then I tell a story about weird interactions with nominally supportive cis people and all the cis people listening look at me like I grew a second head while my trans friends just nod.

this pisses me off more than any other mealy mouthed trans support bullshit.
no, you do not “wholly support trans rights” if you do not support trans inclusion in sports. in fact you support discriminating against us, but for some people think this is a rational statement

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...
