This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.
@georgetakei not many people stand by their convictions. If more did, we wouldn't be in this horrendous mess.
@debrashannon @georgetakei SpaceX and Tesla would have no engineers but then they'd find work elsewhere pretty easily.
@debrashannon @georgetakei It's a win for the gammons, though - one more woke person gone.
@georgetakei Jack's a good 'un.
@georgetakei IDK ... resigning just lets a more obedient person take over your job while you publicly save face ... I'd rather see people fight back than resign.
@Bob_Sequious There won't 'be' a program. This IS his protest. @georgetakei
@georgetakei As the head of the gender psychiatry program, there really isn't another way
@georgetakei yep.. But what happens when the good honest people all resign?
@rmdes @georgetakei There won’t be enough people left to further advance the coup. Collaborators are the backbone of fascist tyrants. #TrumpMustGo
@dgavin @georgetakei I doubt that.. I really do...there is an army of sycophants and invertebrate without education and toxic ideologies ready to align themselves to serve the cult.
I wouldn't bet anything on it, certainly not the health of the American democracy.
"something" must be done, but it may already be too late.
@rmdes @georgetakei We all know what that "something" will have to be. There is only one way to get rid of a tyrant.
@georgetakei Their decision was based on RELIGION. Trans rights would not be a political issue if religion weren't lying about science.
@Nazani
Religion has been mucking about in politics for a long time
In this case, trans rights is a tool leveraged by an oligarchy-powered fascist political sect (some of whom are Christofascists) to get the less-informed on their side and to instill divisions between minority groups
Blaming this purely on religion is disingenuous and furthering their cause
@georgetakei
@Nazani @georgetakei Peaple who identify as trans are just the latest group to be used as a scape goat to rile up hate like they did with the jews ,blacks , gays, etc.
@georgetakei
Aren't laws targeting such a select minority illegal?
#ABCNews yesterday:
@MugsysRapSheet @georgetakei these laws should be up to the sporting committees. It's none of his business. This is a sign of a dictatorship.
@Scienceisnotopinions one out of so many signs. It's looking very grim. @MugsysRapSheet @georgetakei
Usually you hear things like "The president don't have much power" How come they are so fast at acting now all of a sudden? I get the impression they have wanted this all along and are very happy to comply?
@georgetakei you look s o much beautiful
@georgetakei
Typo in second sentence, medial instead of medical
@georgetakei
Just as well beat them to the punch. There won’t be any “gender psychiatry program” in the Fourth Reich.
@georgetakei And who will take his place? Some dimwit who hasn’t a clue about the complexities of gender identification, maybe?
@georgetakei I respect Dr. Turban's strength of character and commitment to medicine and science. However, I also lament and recognize the acceleration of this nation's brain/talent drain, as capable individuals will be further incentivized, if not forced, to go elsewhere to enrich and improve more enlightened communities.
@georgetakei It’s just discrimination, hate based on patriarchy. Because transmen participating in men’s competitions don’t bother these white masculinists… they never liked women to challenge men. And I’m sure these perverts watched porn with shemales and trans… pigs.
+ we know transwomen have lower testosterone rates than cis, weaker muscles (I can testimony from my transition)
+ when aren’t they bothered of a basketball player 200cm against one 170cm? Examples are thousands.
I feel so sad for those few women athletes who are being kicked out of sport. Possibly out of scholarships and a career as well.
