Imagine telling an 11-year-old girl she can’t compete b/c she has a condition called DSD. Or making accepting discrimination the price all women must pay to compete.
When people say transphobia hurts all women, this is what is meant. And the IOC did it willingly.

My folks thought that the world would go through an apocalypse in the 70s. I was small, but I suspect that they wished for the apocalypse. They grew their own veggies, butchered chickens, canned everything. Sauerkraut, even.

This is the trust trap, and we have seen it play out again and again in institutions like media, higher ed and govt.
The right feeds distrust, use that distrust as a justification to take control, and then undermine the core competencies that everyone else actually values, further eroding trust.

Don't drink raw milk. Just don't.
My parents bought raw milk most days until I was 10 or so, from a local NE Iowa farmer they knew, and we lived. They hated the idea of "packaged" milk at the time.
The risk is not worth it.

The wealthy and powerful have always thrown their weight behind crafting the myths, imprinting the "heroes" on their history
For example, the Iowa recruits that showed up at Pittsburgh Landing and were butchered within the first minutes of the battle -- now with massive statues and accolades. 3/4

This is one part of the series. Likely that quite a few students took naps and missed most of it. 2/4

I'm fondly remembering 5th grade "Iowa Heritage" course -- IPTV material on reel to reel projector in a darkened classroom in the midst of the 80s farm crisis w/ Gov. Ray in office -- when reading Todd Dorman's latest 1/4

The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.
