Remember during Covid when liberals kept insisting that they were the ones who believed in "THE Science?" Well now that "THE Science" has proved to become politically inconvenient for them we see the hilarious spectacle of those same liberals denying basic science such as during a recent Senate hearing when a leftist doctor refused to answer the simple question of "Can men get pregnant?"
We can now also see that same pathetic denial of obvious scientific reality taking effect in the current arguments surrounding the Supreme Court case about upholding state bans of biological males aka trans-women participating in women's sports. One periodical that has leaped full scale into the denial of reality abyss on this topic is Atlantic magazine. On Friday at The Atlantic, new hire (and former longtime Washington Post sports columnist) Sally Jenkins went through the silly motions of pretending that there is at present no scientific conclusion as to whether "trans women" (men) have a natural athletic advantage over women as you can see in "The Question That the Lawyers Representing Trans Athletes Didn’t Answer."

LMAO, Atlantic hires a sports writer is pure comedy.
Is she going to revisit the Duke lacrosse rape hoax?
In other news: Height gives no advantage to anyone in the sport of basketball.
“The Atlantic” is a once-worthy literary magazine, that has been ruined by current arch-leftist elitist owner Laurene Powell Jobs!
Back in the old (print-only) days, I actually subscribed to “The Atlantic”!
Now the newer, bogus “Atlantic” is behind a paywall, to add insult to injury! Phooey!
The photos of the University of Pennsylvania swim team with six foot plus hulk “Lia” Thomas dwarfing “ her” teammates should have been obvious to all but the most woke.
I live in Ithaca, NY, arguably one of the most left/liberal/hippie small cities in America. I see a fair number of those signs; I'm used to seeing them, so they're no longer as jarring as they once were.
I actually don't have a problem with those signs. Virtue signaling is legal, and believing things that aren't objectively factually true is legal too. Lots of people believe that space aliens walk among us, that the Earth is 3000 years old, that Uri Geller bent spoons with his mind, that Biden was sharp as a tack, and so on.
Alice laughed. 'There’s no use trying,' she said: 'one can’t believe impossible things.'The only problem I have with such folks is when they try to force me to believe that crap. Sorry, no.'I daresay you haven’t had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'

Unfortunately that is 100% the agenda of the Left, to get young children indoctrinated into it, to push it to people who aren't paying attention so they accept it without thinking, and to force the rest of us who refuse to sign on, via cancel culture, lawsuits, and even federal action to force us to toe the line.
They don't care if we believe it or not, honestly. They just want us to accept it and toe the line.
Bastards.

The result is the same.
One of the earliest scientific studies I read was where they evaluated brain changes in sheep on puberty blockers. The sheep lost 10 IQ points. Kids brains change during puberty, unless they’re on puberty blockers. I guess that is why they act like 2 year olds who don’t get their way, when you refuse to accept their fairy tale biology interpretations.
