Holy cow!! The assistant volleyball coach at San Jose St Uni (SJSU), the team with the boy on it, has filed a Title IX complaint over this against her own school. Melissa Batie-Smoose is standing with the girls and the allegations are astounding!!
1/
Allegedly, things are falling apart at that school. It sounds like an absolute nightmare for all the girls on the team.
For one thing, they are afraid of being hurt in practice. When the boy spikes the ball the girls are turning away! They don’t want to be hurt. 2/
They tried complaining to the head coach, but he is on the boy’s side. Maybe bc his job is being threatened or maybe bc he is a true believer, but he is calling the girls on the team bigots for complaining.
This is not going over well. 3/
All but three of the women are unhappy about this situation. There is incredible tension. The players are mad the head coach. He is calling them names. Players are skipping practice. People are supposedly very unhappy. 4/
The team captain is reportedly having her scholarship threatened for speaking up.
The ladies don’t like to lose but they also don’t feel like a win is a win either. There is no joy. Even if they win a championship it won’t be a real win. 5/
The team captain is put in the position of wanting to help her team win but not feeling like it’s fair. She is alleged to feel numb about it all.
Can you imagine what they are putting these women through? 6/
One woman allegedly had a panic attack in class when it was revealed to that she was on this volleyball team. The story about this is heartbreaking. 7/
And then there is an allegation that the boy and a player from an opposing team colluded to have the ball repeatedly spiked at the team captain. I’m summarizing this and you just have to read this article. 8/
There is so much in this story that if it turns out to be true is absolutely astounding. I’ve been at this a long time and my jaw was open reading most of it.
Their entire volleyball program is melting down it appears. 9/
Read the whole thing here. You have to read this. Seriously.
Whoever thought this was an ok thing to do was not thinking.
Enter this thread at your own risk. And please support @marycatedelvey today. She is tough, but this has to get to anyone. These are the messages she has been sent today by the men everyone thinks are so vulnerable. This is really BAD. Warning.
What are they doing??????? WHY are they doing this to women?
Dems voted down a bill that would have kept the worst of the worst male offenders out of women’s prisons and given the women privacy in the showers!
#ProtectTheDolls
The bill suggested that men who think they are women should be given their own facility in the women’s prison, but no. That isn’t good enough. These men demand access to the women and they are getting it.
2/
The bill would have prohibited s*x offenders from being housed in the women’s prison. The Dems in California can’t have that. They insist these men are locked in cells with women. 3/
THREAD. The Boston Marathon will be run tomorrow. They have three categories now: men, women and nonbinary. A man is eligible for all three and he will be running in the women’s category.
They created a nonbinary category, whatever that means, but that wasn’t enough. 1/
“Riya Suising, born Robert Chien Hwa Young, is a man. A long-time runner, Suising has competed in races in the female category more than 338 times since 2009, medaling for his age group more than 140 times.” He is racing as a woman tomorrow. Bc of course he is.
2/
So now a man will win the men’s category. Only a man has won that “nonbinary” category so far. And a woman has lost the chance to compete bc this guy is running in the women’s category.
Have you ever seen an actual mob before? Have you ever encountered one? I’ve heard of mobs with pitchforks going after women who they called witches. I never thought I’d actually see it.
I can’t imagine the terror. These women are so brave. 1/
Notice how the mob is screaming transpower? That’s the same phrase that was written on a shelter door when another group of this mob went after women who dared to seek a female only shelter after the worst thing that can happen to a woman. 2/
I don’t know where these women get the bravery. My heart is pounding just seeing that.
That mob is very upset that in law the word woman refers to women.
The women who fight for us
are heroic. Truly. Here’s to you all!!
You’ve heard how people say terrible things about JK Rowling and what an awful person she is? It stems from the fact that she calls a man a man. That’s it. That is the crime of the century.
Seriously. They demand she pretend men are women and she won’t. 1/
I can’t stress enough. That’s what all the hullabaloo is over. They say that she is denying a man’s humanity by calling him a man. That’s IT.
This is upside down and inside out.
She couldn’t be humanizing him more by recognizing his actual humanity. 2/
Don’t be fooled by any of this. Of course there is nothing wrong with recognizing an adult male human being as an adult male human being. Of course it’s not denying his humanity. It’s silly to say otherwise. So why do they do it? Why say such a ridiculous thing? 3/
