As I was watching this, I was thinking back to all the times you've written on this topic. I was really glad to see him dedicate over 40 minutes to the subject!

Good on him. Normie democrats of a certain breed seem susceptible to this line of attack, but I know he's widely watched.

As a fervent ally, this segment had me both angry and also cry laughing and smiling at how wonderful these kids and their (supportive) parents are. This segment makes clear the lie that any of this BS is about "fairness" in sports or "protecting" children. Mega props to Parker for including the transcript btw!

Once again, kids give me hope while the adults around them lose their Goddamn minds. Here's another one: A teacher is ordered to remove "Everyone is Welcome Here" poster from a 6th-grade classroom, students walk out of school to show support. Just listen to them, how confident they are in expressing what to them just seems like basic common sense:

When I was in grade school I was one of the tallest kids in the class. I shot up to 5'2". Sadly I also outweighed most of the boys. Now going on 81, I'm still 5'2" (or really 5'1.5" thanks spine). Those boys in my class I guarantee are now way bigger. If they are still alive....there's something about endurance.... I hate sports so I never got to test myself against girls OR boys. But simply based on SIZE AND WEIGHT I should have been on any boys team in my grade.

It is telling that with all the evidence of trans biological males participating in female athletics, we don't have any stories of trans biological females participating in male athletics.

The reason is clearly one of opportunity to win a competition.

I just googled "Trans men participating in men's sports" and got page after page of "stories." You know, Frank, it's called "Do your own Goddamn research you lazy hack"

But when Frank says "We don't have any stories" he means "Fox News hasn't fed me any." Frank's like a baby bird with its mouth open, if Mama Bird don't bring the worms, Frank don't get the worms.

Very few examples. Very few. Googling isn't research... especially with our algorithm profile.

You are a complete waste of time.

If I didn't already watch, enjoy, and agree with the segment, that J.K. Rowling hated it tells me John Oliver did a great job.
