But That HS Scholarship Won't Go To My Daughter......Scarcity Model and Fear

 

I’ve been embroiled in an online discussion about a small town whose girls’ cross-country team split down the middle because another girl, who happens to be transgender, joined the team.

And it’s not just small towns. In professional sports, you have RWCN radicals attending sporting events and sabotaging them for political noise (right before the November election), revealing shirts with XX/XY on them, which in itself is hilariously wrong.

Biology isn’t a binary. It’s a spectrum with a very loud fan club (RWCN bigots) at two points.

The face of RWCN hate:

Fox News is all over it too, and of course they are. Look who owns them.

And in Facebook discussions about girls’ high school sports (kids’ sports!), I’m seeing comments like this one from Carol: (BLUE COMMENT) 

That’s basically saying “separate but equal.”

And then there’s Bob (First Comment)

So in Bob's case (a man), it’s all about money: getting that other girl into college on a free ride.

So here’s the thing, Bob.

Our government joined Israel in a war on Iran, and we’ve spent billions on it. On top of that, America funds Israel. We give them billions every year.

We have the ultra-rich (Elon, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Trump, and on and on) who pay little to nothing in taxes. And last year, many mega-corporations paid less in taxes than you and me.

Now think about this.

There’s a propaganda machine pointing the finger at transgender people and making them the issue. And the arguments are “it’s unfair” (see my reply about Lia Thomas in the screenshot above, by the way) or “that other girl won’t have a shot at a college scholarship.”

Just wow.

How about we pull our heads out of our asses and realize that the current administration runs on fear and scarcity: there isn’t enough for everyone.

How about we pull back some of that money going to Israel, fix the tax code, and fund college for ALL kids? How about that?

How about we step back and realize that transgender kids are an ultra-minority, and those who compete in sports are an even smaller minority within that?

These are kids. Let them run.
