2022-03-23 Trans-Ban Catch 22s

Jonny reviews the "controversy" over Lia Thomas's historic win in
NCAA swim competitions. He points out how proposed NCAA regulations
(not yet implemented) monitoring trans competitors would run afoul
of Texas-like legislation that refuses trans healthcare to
teenagers. He then threads the needle about how the assault on
trans rights is related to and a permutation of anti-abortion
initiatives on the Right. Finally, he reviews the Governor of
Idaho's veto of that state's trans-ban for athletes, including the
arguments and rationale that accompanied the veto. Jonny reminds
all local Southern Illinoisan's that the Trans Day of Visibility
rally will be Thursday, March 31st at the Town Square
Pavilion--tabling begins at 5, speeches begin at 6, marching down
the strip begins at 7. We would love to see you there!
