    The new rules do not discuss the issue of transgender student-athletes and which teams they can play on.

    Won’t someone think of the athletes?!

      Eh…

      “In the beginning, all the world was America,” Locke famously wrote, imagining what he called the “state of nature” before the creation of political society. In advancing his theory that it was the mixing of one’s labor with land that created private property, Locke saw the Native Americans as creatures who could not be considered property owners since they merely inhabited the land and forests but did not cultivate the soil.

      To Locke, in fact, the Native American could be equated with “one of those wild savage beasts with whom men can have no society nor security” and who “therefore may be destroyed as a lion or a tiger.” Locke thus provided a most potent ethical justification for racial genocide.

      All they need to do is reverse Lawrence v Texas.

      That was functionally the status quo during my parent’s generation.

      Cheney’s younger daughter Mary was bi, and both he and Liz were happy enough to throw her under the bus in order to advance their political careers.
