And now a judge has declared, in court, that in a case involving discrimination on the basis of sex, one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/attorneys-for-connecticut-high-school-runners-ask-judge-to-recuse-after-he-forbids-them-from-describing-trans-athletes-as-male\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">must refer to biological males as \u201ctransgender females\u201d<\/a>. Quoth the judge:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhat I\u2019m saying is you must refer to them as \u2018transgender females\u2019 rather than as \u2018males.\u2019 Again, that\u2019s the more accurate terminology, and I think that it fully protects your client\u2019s legitimate interests. Referring to these individuals as \u2018transgender females\u2019 is consistent with science, common practice and perhaps human decency. To refer to them as \u2018males,\u2019 period, is not accurate, certainly not as accurate, and I think it\u2019s needlessly provocative. I don\u2019t think that you surrender any legitimate interest or position if you refer to them as transgender females. That is what the case is about. This isn\u2019t a case involving males who have decided that they want to run in girls\u2019 events. This is a case about girls who say that transgender girls should not be allowed to run in girls\u2019 events. So going forward, we will not refer to the proposed intervenors as \u2018males\u2019; understood?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The targeted attorney made clear how nonsensical this was:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe entire focus of the case is the fact that the CIAC policy allows individuals who are physiologically, genetically male to compete in girls\u2019 athletics. But if I use the term \u2018females\u2019 to describe those individuals \u2014 and we\u2019ve said in our opening brief, we\u2019re happy to use their preferred names, because names are not the point to the case. Gender identity is not the point of this case. The point of this case is physiology of bodies driven by chromosomes and the documented athletic advantage that comes from a male body, male hormones, and male puberty in particular. So, Your Honor, I do have a concern that I am not adequately representing my client and I\u2019m not accurately representing their position in this case as it has to be argued before Your Honor and all the way up if I refer to these individuals as \u2018female,\u2019 because that\u2019s simply, when we\u2019re talking about physiology, that\u2019s not accurate, at least in the belief of my clients.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But this madness does not end at mere \u201cgender\u201d, but to denying normalcy to <em>any<\/em> monogamous relationship, with one person declaring that to be part of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/human-interest\/2020\/05\/dear-prudence-love-boyfriend-want-girlfriend.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spectrum of asexuallity<\/a>\u201d!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMy partner is the most compassionate, loving, and respectful partner I could ask for.

He knows this, and we have talked about opening our relationship. However, he is on the spectrum of asexuallity and is only interested in having sex with me. The thought of me having sex with other people makes him deeply uncomfortable, as we both relate to sex in very different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While people roll their eyes of now-ex-Congresswoman Katie Hill and her \u201cthruple\u201d (complete with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-7609835\/Katie-Hill-seen-showing-Nazi-era-tattoo-smoking-BONG-NAKED.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nude bong hits and naturism with a goat<\/a>), that <em>wasn\u2019t<\/em> what caused her to resign\u2014that reason involving a Congressional staff member becoming part of said thruple for a while.
