Dear Rep. Jackson-Lee...

Its OK to be scientifically ignorant. But it's not OK to be scientifically ignorant, and stand before a crowd of students and make #unscientific assertions as if they were fact. And it's not OK to respond to people who point out the absurdity of your unscientific remarks with deflections and insults. You said something dumb. Just acknowledge it, correct it, and move on.

#Trans #woman becomes #croquet #worldchampion at 23 in #historic #win.

Predictably, not everyone was happy for Gumbrell and her #win, with some of her #Transphobic #competitors #arguing that she had an #Unfair #advantage. Backlash to Gumbrell’s win comes amid a wave of #unscientific #antitrans sentiment in relation to #womenssports.
