I had a call with USA Curling CEO, Dean Gemmell, on 7/30. USA Curling will be banning all trans women from sanctioned USA Curling women's events, including club playdowns.

Looks like it runs for 6 weeks starting in April, so it won't really overlap with the club curling season

These guys think they're spewing cutting-edge posthumanist theory and it's all just the corniest, shittiest science fiction that actual writers wouldn't waste a minute on.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Feels like a good day to point out that USA Curling has a solid, inclusive policy for transgender and nonbinary folks: www.usacurling.org/press-releas...
