Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

I enjoyed this write up! I sent your newsletter version to my team this morning. It’s something we keep talking about but haven’t actually taken action (other priorities). Maybe 2026 is the year? We’ll see!

I know this league doesn’t have relegation but 4 teams trying to avoid last place is a pretty interesting race as well. Especially Angel Cityβ€”could end up in playoffs, could end up last. I love NWSL!

Sex testing is officially back in sports -- which is a huge bummer and also contradicts so much ethics, human rights law, and actual science. More on all that (and the history) on my podcast Tested: www.tested-podcast.com

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

A D.C. cemetery's 'Gay Corner' is a final resting place for trailblazing LGBTQ+ icons The Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C., includes a section of graves of LGBTQ Americans. We take a pride month tour.

Trans kids and other queer people will die because of these decisions. But then that's always the point with this administration -- the cruelty.

Hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy your days off.

There’s a little skywalk over the concourse from the locker room to the field (hence the up and over). Fans line up to cheer them on as they go. (Coming in/out for warmup they just temporarily rope off the concourse so players go directly in/out without using the skywalk)

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Cal State is automatically admitting high school students with good grades These students who meet requirements are guaranteed college admission to one of 10 Cal State campuses.

More than 17,000 high school seniors last fall got the sweetest news any anxious student can get: Congrats, because of your high school GPA, you’re automatically admitted to one of 10 California State University campuses β€” and they’re all relatively affordable.

My piece on automatic admissions:

TESTED – A surprising history of women’s sports

If you want to learn more about the history of this and why it was abandoned in the first place (along with a lot of other really key stuff on this story) listen to my podcast! We also have transcripts online: www.tested-podcast.com

There are zero studies showing that "DSD athletes" have an advantage over cis athletes. They do not exist. What people do instead (as I talk about at length on Tested!) is use studies on male athletes and simply say "well DSD athletes are male" which is not true, and not how science works.

World Athletics to introduce mandatory sex testing for female competitions Sebastian Coe, president of World Athletics, says the governing body feels the mandatory tests for athletes are "a really important way of providing confidence".

Welp, here it is. World Athletics is going back to mandatory sex testing for all women. This is something that was done for years, but abandoned in the 1990's because it was invasive, discriminatory, and also useless. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

Any pub or show not running or reporting on this comment right here is absolutely caping for this administration.

Everyone knows education is the most kitchen table ass talking point ever and specifically saying disabled kids shouldn't have access to it affects so many families

there are like two neat tricks to solving β€œmale loneliness”:

1) don’t be a weird little creep
2) find your passions and pursue them

the male loneliness conversation is often disingenuous because pretty much everyone talking about it seriously never starts at β€˜boys & young men keep mainlining content from weird little creeps who tell them they need to become weird little creeps too’

I think ACFC focuses more on the streetwear potential of its jerseys than broadcast. This one’s gonna be cool to wear around town where people can see the detail. (Not saying it’s the correct strategy, but makes sense to me). I still think their first palm tree jersey was the best secondary!

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.

CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.

MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

Thought that since some people like to talk endlessly about saving women's sports that I'd make a list of the most pressing issues that need addressing to improve the lives of female athletes. Would be awesome if these folks took a break from the one-note culture war to help address these.

I tried like 5 different pairs/brands so the ear fit thing seems to be a Me Problem. If other ones have worked for you in the past, I’m sure they’d work great. They’re also good for taking calls, even on windy days
