XX|XY are listed sponsors of the anti-trans sex verification initiative in Washington. The @thornsfc.com organization fucked up so badly letting these loud and proud bigots cross state lines to promote their own hateful agenda. #BAONPDX ballotpedia.org/Washington_I...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Y’all means all isn’t just a slogan for us. It means we are a welcoming, inclusive community to everyone. We stand with the @rosecityriveters.org, the transgender and LGBTQ+ community — hate has no place in women’s soccer, or anywhere. If you come for one, you can expect us all.

These people trying to rile up some sort of controversy by treating their hatred & bigotry as activism are pathetic losers. They infiltrate an inclusive & joyful space to push their unwelcome agenda, then play the victim card when they are rightfully confronted for their bigoted rhetoric. #BAONPDX
Women’s sports face enough real problems. Don’t buy into this made up one villainizing the Trans community.

Reminder that there a NWSL game with @reignfc.com Nov 1 days before the election where WA has a hateful measure attempting to not only harm trans girls but scare cis girls from participating in sports. Come to the match. Stand in the supporter section and drive out these bigots if they show up.
Anti-trans bigots are coming to NWSL games looking to provoke violence or other incidents that could go viral. This is the back-up plan: harass and endanger anyone who stands up to them. NWSL is going to have to contend with this. Kicking the can down the road will put too many fans at risk.

Bigotry, hatred and anti-human "views" and "opinions" have no place in The North End, at Providence Park, in Portland and anywhere in our state, country and planet. Keep that shit to yourself in your own house! BECAUSE TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!!! 💚💛❤️🖤 #TimbersFC #ThornsFC #RCTID #BAONPDX
First and most important: The Timbers Army stands with the Rose City Riveters and with our transgender and LGBTQ community. We see you; we support you. You come for one, you come for all of us! We have ZERO room for hate in our stands and in our spaces. #RCTID #BAONPDX

@thornsfc.com You are allowing this to happen. Take a stand. Side with your supporters.
The XX/XY grift is easy to understand. They want to infiltrate LGBTQ+ safe spaces with their TERF bigotry while wielding the paradox of tolerance as their weapon of choice. Once they've wedged their way in, everything that makes the woso environment special is in danger.

NWSL+ is the #NWSL, so let Jessica know this is unacceptable jberman@nwslsoccer.com “Jordan Angeli needs to be pulled from broadcasts immediately. not only is her bias of being a Summit owner problematic, but her following and endorsement of a hate group XX/XY is disqualifying. remove her now”
wild behavior to have jordan angeli in studio after what happened in portland last night

Where the fuck were these people when Merritt Paulson was protecting men who abused women? It's never been about protecting women.
so the xx/xy group plan to 'protect women's sports' by infiltrating supporters' sections, whining online about being called names, then posting photos and trying to dox teams' most passionate fans? at this point not treating them like a hate group akin to the proud boys or kkk is willful ignorance.

Some hateful folks in the North End have their messaging blocked by flags and lead to a “Trans Lives Matter” chant
How about we stop electing known rape enthusiasts.
The deeper reason Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy are backing the vile rape ad is they think MAGA politics—the cruelty, the depravity, the viciousness—is still ascendant. They think doing this esesentially puts Trump on the ballot. Me and @jimswift.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2169...
