.cohaug spoke with chasestrangio, deputy director for transgender justice at the ACLU, about the Supreme Court and the current state of trans rights in the U.S.

. They’re youths just trying to find joy and acceptance in their lives, who found it in the context of running, and found a home in sport.

Just combating some of the misinformation is a really big part of this fight, and that is a longer project, because the reality is that we are taught from birth that there are simple ways to divide ourselves into categories, and that doing so is a scientific process, for which there is no error or complexity. And that’s just not true.

I think the example of Michael Phelps was a really good one, because so many news stories would run these pieces about. And yet, if we look at people whose body are different in ways that we associate with sex difference, then all of a sudden we have to police people out of the category. “Nobody’s policing people’s height; nobody’s policing other things we might understand as genetic advantages. It’s only when it implicates the regulation of what is categorized as a woman’s body.”I want to make sure we talk about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and what her passing, as tragic as that is, means for the Court, in terms of trans rights, and in terms of the rulings that have happened this summer.

Talk about the number of people he’s infected. Where are his staff and family. Are they infected? Repeat until hell freezes over. Court packing at the district, circuit courts and the Supreme Court is what McConnell and the Senate GOP literally did these past 4 years. DEM must 'balance' the courts. No need to ask Bodden, just ask the socialist communist party leader AOC. Biden’s puppet master

Guess Who Wants to Overturn the SCOTUS Decision Legalizing Gay MarriageIt’s the start of a new Supreme Court term, one that’s already been thrown into no small amount of turmoil by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the uncertainty surrounding Donald Trump’s nominee Amy Coney Barrett—whose timeline for confirmation has now been disrupted by the unfortunate reality that Republican Senators are getting sick with covid-19, possibly from her Rose Garden party that may have been a covid-19 superspreading cesspool. (God: real???) But on Monday, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito signaled where their long-term priorities stand—they think it would be a great idea to overturn Obergefell, the landmark SCOTUS ruling that legalized gay marriage. Amy Coney Barrett is probably salivating right now, just thinking about the prospect of an even more conservative Supreme Court that will entrench minority rule for decades! Is God real or not??? Who’s to say?
