Dear brothers and sisters,

Moms and Dads, nieces and nephews, grandmothers and grandfathers, daughters and sons, masters and mistresses, he and she, him and her, guys and dolls, chicks and dudes,

Ours may be the last generation who will be allowed to notice, say, write or shout that men and women are different and those differences matter. Whether we believe we were created by God or by biological evolution, we know it wasn’t by Marxism, a failed 19th century political ideology that promotes victimhood and resulted in the deaths of 100 million.  If you have a daughter or granddaughter who is a talented athlete, she will no longer be able to compete for honors and scholarships as she is forced to shower with and compete against the least talented men with testosterone, skeletal and muscular advantages instead of the best prepared and hard-working women.  Chest feeders and birthing people are the most recent terms to demean women with words.  Forget Ho and Slut and Babe.  The records with my primary physician say my sex is “unknown.” Birth records of new babies now say “assigned.”

A bill to protect women athletes has been passed in the House which will be defeated in the Senate because there is a powerful movement to destroy women. This movement is promoted by the White House.  When 6 people, 3 adults and 3 children, were murdered in a Nashville Christian school by a woman ill enough to kill 9 year olds to announce she was a man thus destroying her real protective nature, did our White House respond with sympathy, grief and horror?  No. That very week in March the White House announced solidarity with a Trans Day of protest. To this day, the killer’s manifesto hasn’t been released,  protecting the transagenda and the party that promotes it.

How testosterone affects girls in-utero

A boy’s testosterone levels in the womb may affect the adult life of his twin sister, according to a study published yesterday (March 18) in PNAS. I expected a completely different result from in-utero effects of testosterone on females.

https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2019/03/14/1812786116?

Abstract:

During sensitive periods in utero, gonadal steroids help organize biological sex differences in humans and other mammals. In litter-bearing species, chromosomal females passively exposed to prenatal testosterone from male littermates exhibit altered physical and behavioral traits as adults. The consequences of such effects are less well understood in humans, but recent near-doubling of twinning rates in many countries since 1980, secondary to advanced maternal age and increased reliance on in vitro fertilization, means that an increasing subset of females in many populations may be exposed to prenatal testosterone from their male co-twin. Here we use data on all births in Norway (n = 728,842, including 13,800 twins) between 1967 and 1978 to show that females exposed in utero to a male co-twin have a decreased probability of graduating from high school (15.2%), completing college (3.9%), and being married (11.7%), and have lower fertility (5.8%) and life-cycle earnings (8.6%). These relationships remain unchanged among the subsets of 583 and 239 females whose male co-twin died during the first postnatal year and first 28 days of life, respectively, supporting the interpretation that they are due primarily to prenatal exposure rather than to postnatal socialization effects of being raised with a male sibling. Our findings provide empirical evidence, using objectively measured nation-level data, that human females exposed prenatally to a male co-twin experience long-term changes in marriage, fertility, and human capital. These findings support the hypothesis of in utero testosterone transfer between twins, which is likely affecting a small but growing subset of females worldwide.

Why does Obama want to destroy women's sports?

Women athletes, including lesbians, need to start speaking out against transgender, fluid gender, two spirit nonsense LGBTQ radical agenda. It's not transphobic to point out men naturally have testosterone and the equipment to produce it. A lot of it. Women have a little, but we have a lot of estrogen, and that allows us to have more fat, which allows us to be healthy mothers. We have wider pelvises which allows us to give birth, but makes us run a little lopsided and "throw like a girl."

Testosterone enables men to develop larger skeletal muscles as well as larger hearts. Men also have a larger proportion of Type 2 muscle fibers, which generate power, strength and speed. Testosterone also increases the production of red blood cells, which absorb oxygen, giving men an even greater aerobic advantage. (Livestrong.com) This doesn't change just because some group in wigs and mascara starts yelling about their rights.

In some sports, it might not make a lot of difference, like tiddly winks and gymnastics (we're more flexible), but if you've got an athletically talented daughter, speak up now, write your Congress person and demand justice for girls and women, before this administration destroys women's sports.

Take a Bite Out of Road Rage

While enjoying my morning paper and coffee at a Lane Avenue shop, I observed the long term effects of driver rudeness and bad manners, or as it is known, “road rage.”

A young man driving a forest green, late-model car slowed down to make the sharp turn into the coffee shop parking lot. Behind him, the driver of a white, older-model automobile honked, probably because the young man thought turn signals were just for sissies. The rudeness of the second driver (white car) prompted the first driver (green car) to come to a full stop while negotiating his turn just to teach the other guy a lesson. He then made a well-known gesture with his finger for emphasis. As these two immature whiners glared and made threatening motions, they were oblivious to the cars accelerating behind them from the near-by traffic light. Two other cars driven by young people, probably on their way to classes at Ohio State, collided.

Tough-guy (white car) appeared as though he was going to pull into the parking lot from the side street and pummel macho-boy (green car), but when he saw the accident, he drove off. The first driver disappeared quickly into the coffee shop absolving himself of blame to all within earshot.

I haven’t read any physical profiles of rage-roadies, but I know that dog bites are usually a guy thing, and I suspect road rage is also. A thumbnail sketch of a dog bite is: young male adult owns young male dog which bites male child. It’s not that female dogs never bite or that girls are never victims, but statistically, you need to protect your male children from guys who own male dogs. Well, little boys can mature, dogs can be neutered and children in your care can be kept away from Pit Bulls, Rottweilers or German Shepherds, the breeds that cause the most fatalities in children.**

But is there a solution for road rage? Yes. You can’t leave the testosterone at home, but men (and women) can practice good manners, empathy and common sense while driving. The next time someone cuts in front of you, instead of swearing and making obscene gestures, say “dog bite” and smile.

Fortunately, those two young adults were not injured, but they needlessly will have the burden of the rudeness of two older drivers on their driving record and check-book for a long time to come.

2961 This post is about sex

While I was making a wonderful salad with dark green leafy stuff ("absolutely no spinach" the package read), two hard cooked eggs, grilled onions and broccoli, and about a third of a cup of mild salsa, I was listening to WOSU NPR, which is doing a fund raiser (what a concept!).

Much to my surprise it was two guys talking about testosterone. Except one guy started out as a woman, attended a woman's college, and had grown up accepting all the feminists said about the differences between men and women all being a social and cultural construct. Then, after she decides to become transgendered (don't know if that is the right term, but she is on her way to being a he with no penis), she starts getting hormone injections--testosterone. S/he discovered that her brain changed!

Griffin (the female to male person) talked about being filled with lust and pornographic thoughts on the subway--not from noticing a sexy babe, but from seeing just an ankle or a knee. He was terribly embarrassed and really had to struggle to avoid being crude, but the thoughts were unstoppable.

He began to lose some of his verbal acuity over time. He now has to look up more words than he used to as a woman, and the stumbles more in his speech.

He began having trouble crying when he was upset or stressed. Even when he can cry, it isn't the same with very few tears.

He developed an interest in science (this caused so much laughter I wasn't sure he was serious, but he said he'd been reading in areas that had never interested him before).

He became more visual. He now enjoys pornography and strip joints, whereas before he had no interest and thought that was sexist.

I didn't find the exact interview but here is one on Grrl Talk Borders that covers pretty much the same thing, except the interviewer is a woman and the two were girl friends in college.
