    My first thought is that someone else brought the two of us here to kill us. They already got this stranger, and they’re coming back to kill me too.

    So, I’d quietly gather some survival supplies and sneak out of the house. Once I can hide far enough away from the house, I’d find a phone and call the police.

    It doesn’t even cross my mind that I could be the killer until someone accuses me of it. I’ve never met that person, so why would I even lay a finger on them? I’d just tell people what I know as accurately as I can. No, I don’t know how I got there, honest!














  • OK, so hold up. This isn’t testing if a woman is trans. This test also disqualifies cis women who have genetic conditions that give them masculine physical traits. This article gives examples of women’s gold medalists who are cis but would now be disqualified.

    We might have to replace the men’s and women’s categories with “open” and “two X chromosomes”. Cis and trans people of all genders might be surprised to find whether or not they qualify for the “two X chromosomes” category. Particularly effeminate cis men might qualify for “two X chromosomes”. This actually seems like a fair way to level the playing field, accomplishing what the current men’s and women’s divisions try to do.

    I am a little worried about the idea of disqualifying athletes for having beneficial genes. This could have implications beyond women’s sports, like being banned from basketball for being too tall.



  • Whether you decide to fight or flee, I won’t judge you. Do what makes sense for you and your loved ones. This is a difficult decision. Don’t let Lemmy guilt trip you over it.

    I have a family and kids that need me. I’ll support the resistance where I can, but I can’t fight on the front lines. I’m lucky I’m not a target of this administration yet, but if we go out and protest, we may become targets.

    In recent years, my family has been getting our passports together and fulfilling requirements to get jobs in another country. If things get violent in my hometown, we can flee across the border. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my family safe.

    If I was alone and no one depended on me, I’d disappear into the resistance. Somewhere, there’s a cache of vintage World War II weapons that would love to fight Nazis again. But, I’m honestly not the gun nut type.
