“… unless the athlete has an established 46XY condition called Complete Androgen Insensitivity (CAIS), this athlete is ineligible to compete in the female category in a world ranking competition.”

The “SRY” test they are running is just a cheek swab, PCR, and Y chromosome check.

There’s the Fine Print:

“ If the SRY test and the subsequent medical assessment confirm that the athlete has a 46XY DSD condition then…”

Reps: ”Lets just shift the Overton Window further right.”
Dems: “Oh, gosh. Well, all we can do is shift ourselves to stay centered!”

And lo, we are locked into a center-right and far-right two party system. Whigs and Know-nothings again…

Uh huh. Are they also going to check for hypermethylation in the 5′-flanking region of the Sry gene? Epigenetic modulation? Protein synthesis folding errors?

Because, those are all ways to have a female infant with an SRY gene present. Add in androgen insensitivities for extra chaos.

Idjits.

Highly trained senior enlisted and officers, with 10 years or more of experience in many cases, tossed by a draft dodger to please his base of 4F jokers who could never comprehend what it actually takes to serve in a modern military.

Oy. “Reps: We’re just gonna shift the Overton Window further right. Dems: Uh… OK, we’ll just have to move right to stay ‘centered’…”

Frustrating. And the system is rigged to keep these as the only viable parties.

And after a total hysterectomy with cervical closure? What do TERFs call that really deep passage within the vulva then? Is the patient no longer a woman? Some of us old broads would like to know!

20th Anniversary (of Apple) MacIntosh. Currently running System 7.6.1. Bleeding edge 1996 personal computing…

Apple IIGS almost completely restored, with signed CPU cover.

Prototype Ti PowerBook (1 GHz G4, 768Mb SDRAM), 37 GB Toshiba disk drive) currently running Mac OSX 10.5.8

My little CD player, and other old toys. (Guess where I once worked…)

Mmmmm! CHAP Processor! (I wrote the CHAP-C programming language, a C compiler with SIMD extensions.)

it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

As an outsider looking in, I’m intrigued by Mr. Mamdani’s positions, very pro-people and against the current regime’s trend toward authoritarian militarization. I find the panic responses from some in the 0.1% and the factions thriving on the promotion of ethnic division to be very interesting.

“Wigs”, huh? Well, there are more women who’ve been through nastier forms of chemotherapy, severe alopecia, and such than there are transgender women, so expect to be pursued by really pissed off women if one goes to yanking off wigs.

We are now at war. Imperious Leader has decided, I suppose.

I eagerly await the opening of the first banana plantation in New Jersey.

We’re getting there…

Next up; All transgender folks are declared to be incurable and therefor “useless eaters”, unemployable burdens upon the State. Then the calls for action, “Aktion T4” specifically.

The Roberts Court has just fabricated the loophole that will be used to end all medical care for trans folks in many states, and possibly at the federal level. Damn them and every failed lawyer and car salesman elected to state office and taking ADF/FRC/Heritage pieces of silver.

I love their disgusting rationale (NOT!). Justice Sotomeyor’s dissenting opinion is pretty darn clear about it.

The law “merely” bans treatment for gender dysphoria, gender incongruence, or gender identity disorder, and it impartially applies to all, male or female, cisgender or transgender. Um…

At least the NSA is fairly good at keeping secrets and doesn’t blab findings out on Xitter. I bet someone will find a way to prompt Grok/xAI into spilling whatever they want.

“…stricter quarantine requirements…”

Oh,but this is Texas we we are talking about. They’re more likely to host mass involuntary “measles parties” than engage in such horrors as quarantine or promoting vaccinations.

Cod liver oil (and Vitamin A overdoses in the kids) for everyone!

*SIGH*

Bloody hell. “xAI” getting all that Treasury, IRS, Social Security, Medicare data, on top of everything from state agencies that get federal funds?

And here I was worried about tracking cookies on the web.

How soon before they plug into Alexa, cellphones, and all those smart TVs?

The recent turn in Democratic “leadership” is disappointing, and does not bode well for the future.

We’ve tried the soapbox and the ballot box. Not much left…

Rep. Keating’s response to Chairperson Self was dead on, echoing the response to Chair Joe McCarthy (House Unamerican Activities Committee) with “Have you no decency?”

I eagerly await the same outcome for these jerks as befell McCarthy.

Gosh. Every bit of information the IRS has, from tax returns, investment and bank account numbers, employer data on each taxpayer, all flowing through the Azure cloud service and into the inventri AI system (the one that doesnt require pesky passwords and such to access).

What could go wrong?

How much of an inaugural donation to be entitled to a trial first? And for a pardon?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Well, that certainly is legislation in the traditional MTG style.

“or any unlawful conduct performed at an Antifa-affiliated demonstration, is deemed to be domestic terrorism”

If Rose City Antifa is at a protest, if I’m forced off the sidewalk, I commit “Domestic Terrorism - Jaywalking.” Huh.

The extraordinary case of the Guevedoces - BBC News Children in a remote village in the Dominican Republic have an extremely unusual condition.

Biology is complex. Gloriously so.
