New York Times, like USA TODAY, conflating the "right" of trans-identified males to compete in women's sports with LGBTQ rights in general - The T Trojan Horsing LGB yet again...

where Republicans are diving into a culture war clash that seems to have come out of nowhere

What came out of nowhere was this insanity about changing sexes. Yeah, keep the "Republican" Narrative going. Mainstream media is such shameless propaganda. They all get issued the same list of talking points and they all regurgitate it.

Sure, it's a tiny number of Republicans that are scheming against those poor widdle Trans and everyone else is fully on board with the erasure of women.

It's like reading a poll in the Turkish press that says Erdogan has 100% approval and is the most beloved Turkish leader EVER. Because there it is in print, in Erdogan-approved media, see, and no other media is allowed to publish. Shameless BS. Shameless.

Did you read the comments? The NYT Picks were like your Erdogan poll (Trans women are women!) while the Readers Picks were like Turkish exiles free to say what they really thought (I'm a Democrat, but Girls sports are for GIRLS).

I didn't read them, but at this point the Woke Media Narrative is so cliched you can just write it yourself and it's an exact match. Why can't everyone see that?

The only mystery to me is how they ALL fell in line with this crap. Every last one of them. We know that six corporations own ALL of the media. Still you'd think someone would say no. One corporation would refuse to fall in line. Some brave editor would refuse to follow the decree from on high. Nope.

Well, there's Tucker Carlson maybe, in terms of big names. There's some smaller sites online, but for those with an audience of over a million, there are few, very few. And look how they've tried to destroy him. They had the American military attacking him on Twitter. Of course, the military is becoming Trans Central isn't it.

This is just an unreal attack from all The Powers That Be.

I think most Americans, well, the ones who didn't go to university recently, or who don't live/work in Wokevilles, are just scratching their heads about all of this WOKE stuff, including gender ideology, at the moment.

Then there are us, many of us liberals, who are losing our trust in institutions: Scientific American, National Geographic, the National Organization for Women, the ACLU, Amnesty International, etc., and ad nauseam.

I fear that when a significant portion of the population across the political spectrum loses trust in just about everything, the net result will be a breakdown of the bonds that hold us together as a society.
