The evidence for vaccines and climate change is unconvincing AND I heard that Olive Garden is woke and forces you to be served by trans pedophiles, it is know.
Conservative Brain is no joke.

Bates is a widowed mother of five children, ages 10 to 17, who describes herself as a Christian whose faith permeates her life. She works part-time as an ultrasound technician and volunteers twice a month performing ultrasounds for expectant mothers at the Hope Pregnancy Center in Ontario.
âI want to share my religious beliefs, including my beliefs about biblical marriage and our human identity, with my children, whether biological or adopted,â Bates wrote in a sworn declaration filed in court.
In the spring of 2022, she applied to the Department of Human Services to adopt a sibling pair younger than 10.
A few more of these and stories maybe Iâll be ready to join that war against Christianity that Tuckerâs always whining about. Jesus.
Sounds like her husbands death completely cracked her brain
It was just Godâs plan.
RALEIGH, N.C. â
Transgender youth in North Carolina lost access Wednesday to gender-affirming medical treatments after the Republican-led General Assembly overrode the governorâs vetoes of that legislation and other bills touching on gender in sports and LGBTQ+ instruction in the classroom.
GOP supermajorities in the House and Senate enacted â over Democratic Gov. Roy Cooperâs opposition â a bill barring medical professionals from providing hormone therapy, puberty-blocking drugs and surgical gender-transition procedures to anyone under 18, with limited exceptions.
The law takes effect immediately. But minors who began treatment before Aug. 1 may continue receiving such care if their doctors deem it medically necessary and their parents consent.
North Carolina becomes the 22nd state to enact legislation restricting or banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. But most face legal challenges, and local LGBTQ+ rights advocates vow to take the ban to court. The Senate voted 27-18 to complete the veto override after the House voted 74-45 earlier. Two House Democrats joined all present Republicans in supporting the override bid.
Earlier, the Senate and House voted minutes apart to override another veto of a bill limiting LGBTQ+ instruction in the early grades. The law now requires that public school teachers in most circumstances alert parents before they call a student by a different name or pronoun. It also bans instruction about gender identity and sexuality in kindergarten through fourth grade, which critics have previously likened to a Florida law that opponents call âDonât Say Gay.â
Nathaniel Dibble, 19, and other LGBTQ+ youth who rallied outside the Legislative Building said the bill would make schools unsafe for transgender students who could be outed by a teacher to unsupportive parents.
Both chambers also voted Wednesday to override Cooperâs veto of a bill banning transgender girls from playing on girlsâ sports teams from middle and high school through college. It, too, immediately became law.
But recent high school graduate Payton McNabb said she was living proof that the law was needed to protect the safety and well-being of female athletes.
âThe veto of this bill was not only a veto on womenâs rights, but a slap in the face to every female in the state,â said McNabb, who says she suffered a concussion and neck injury last year after a transgender athlete hit her in the head with a volleyball during a school match.
FIDE banned trans women from playing in womenâs only chess tournaments.
Why? Because FIDE Is run by bigots who sneer at women. Seriously, check out FIDE chairmanâs Twitter posts if you want a masterclass in why sexism in chess is such a huge problem.

This is just straight up men are more intelligent than women misogyny.
Having womenâs-only tournaments in chess is probably as dumb and old-fashioned as having them in poker.
Yeah, not too surprised to see the chess community having a problem with toxic dipshits.
Are mens chess tournaments filled with hypermasculine dillholes that pick on women who beat them?
a) Chess and intelligence arenât as well correlated as people like you assume.
b) Can you think of any non-ability related reasons to have women-only tournaments?
Women-only tournaments are fine if women want to have them and not fine if men want to shove women into a gender ghetto.
Having womenâs only tournaments wasnât based on different skill levels. It was because at its origin, chess was thought of as a game for the educated and elite and of course those people happened to be men since women werenât getting an education in the mid 19th century. So from the beginning, men were getting all the attention and women were well behind in getting involved in chess.
Holding womenâs events was a way to showcase women players exclusively. It was not an implication that women were worse than men at chess. As a matter of fact, the menâs events arenât that. Theyâre open events that anyone of any gender can participate in. Judit Polgar was actually notorious for refusing to participate in womenâs only events and reached the top 10 in overall FIDE rankings, the only woman to have ever done so. As a matter of fact, she is the only woman to reach an elo above 2700.
Unfortunately, chess does have a problem with sexism. FIDE is run by a bunch of olds who see womenâs chess as a sideshow rather than something worth advertising or marketing. If a woman wanted to push to be the next Judit Polgar and ignore womenâs tournaments, sheâd completely blow up in this day and age assuming she had Polgarâs abilities.
Right, because no girl ever suffered a concussion playing sports before trans kids were allowed to play.

I canât imagine any upstanding Christian girl doing that!
This stuff probably belongs in the other dumpster fire thread, but for ânon-abilityâ are you just thinking of inclusiveness? The main reason there are womenâs tournaments is to encourage women to play chess more.

Yeah. Imagine how awkward, shitty and competitive the average man is.
Now lower the average age to late teens, and select for people who obsess about chess enough to play competitively.
Fun crowd to hang out with, right?
