TWIT Awards – Oct 21, 2024
Former President Donald Trump has said that he will ban “boys in girls’ sports” on day one of his next administration. He cites as evidence an incident in which a San Jose State University soccer player, who is widely assumed to be transgender, allegedly “slamme[ed] the ball hard off the head of an opponent. In fact, the replay shows that the “slam” went off the shoulder of the opponent, not the head. For using this particular play to show the nastiness of a transgender athlete, yet getting the specifics wrong, Former President Donald Trump gets a TWIT. KCRA has this storyl
Josh Seiter, who was a contestant on The Bachelorette, made some news for saying that he was transgender. Now, when says that that was all an attempt to show how foolish “the libs” are. First off, we approach this with an acknowledgement that we do not know precisely what is the mind of someone who has expressed such contradictory thoughts. However, given that Josh did not shave the legs, we feel that the probability is that Josh is a cisgender male who felt that wearing an ill-fitting dress is enough to “present as transgender.” (It can be, but that depends on the mind, which no one else can enter. Some have gone so far into trying to deny their transgender identity that it becomes nearly difficult to suddenly switch and present int he gender you feel that you are.) Assuming that the latest statement is accurate, for assuming that just declaring your feel like an woman was enough, even though you did not pass even that small a test, Josh Seiter gets a TWIT. And, in the event that his denunciation of his transgender feeling is the real twist, for biding to the anti-transgender forces and giving them the feeling that they got a victory, Josh Seiter gets a TWIT. The story comes from Us magazine.
In Missouri, an https://missouriindependent.com/2024/10/16/missouri-abortion-gender-affirming-health-care-amendment-3/ad campaign is trying to say that the proposal which would enshrine abortion rights into the state’s constitution would also open the door to gender-affirming medical care for minors. For stretching to fit gender-affirming care into the argument when it is far from the topic, critics of the amendment get a TWIT. This story comes from
Republican candidates have spent $65 million on ads attacking transgender people and our rights. This includes $20 million in anti-transgender ads in support of Former President Trump. The ads seems to be failing to attract additional voters, as would be predicted by those who study such trends. For increasing the volume on their opposition to civil rights, the Republican party, and especially the campaign for Former President Donald Trump get a TWIT. This story comes from Them.
