Something's not quite right with transgender Wokesterism. HN only allows you to lose 5 points from down-votes, so here-goes. (if you think something is wrong with biological males who "transition" in their 30's to become females so they can compete against biological females in the olympics [0], could you spare an upvote? Thanks.)

Had a passenger with a 1 year old son, who I decided needed her $8.20 more than I did, so I said "this one's on me." As I drove away I got a text: "Thanks, I appreciated that."

I'd told her to look into food stamps, and took her and her girlfriend on their first shopping trip. We became friends on the facebook. Months later she got rid of her girlfriend, who had issues too. After maybe a year I noticed FB posts about her decision to transition.

I thought her gender problems had more to do with having had adverse childhood experiences while in the foster care system, but I didn't say anything.

Some months later I stopped to visit, I don't remember why. She said, "... I'm pregnant." "... But I thought you were becoming a man?" "Well, you know, ..." She'd already been scheduled for a c-section delivery & removal of her uterus/ovaries... She was hopeful the doctors would be able to save her second child, whose prognosis was not good. Alas the child did not live too long, and my passenger continued 'transitioning'. I seem him on facebook now, seems to be doing okay.

Years later, I heard another story. I have another friend who was playing on a womens softball team... The ladies on her team looked at one of the other team's players, and said amongst themselves, THAT'S NO WOMAN.

My friend didn't like gossiping, so she went to talk. Turned out the other team's player was a chimera: an almost-completely-fused conjoined twin, and while she did have the undercarriage (lower body) of a man, she had the upper body strength of a woman. Nowadays I guess parents wouldn't get to choose which gender to make their chimera-child at birth, they'd wait for the child to decide for itself if it wanted surgery to choose one gender or the other. I heard the story second-hand; it was tragic and cool.

I seriously doubt my passenger was an undiscovered inter-sex conjoined twin. I have no doubt that inter-sex people exist, as this phenomenon is well-supported in my perusal of the Wikipedia.

But why not just add a checkbox to the birth certificate: inter-sex observed at birth, and be able to add this to a birth certificate if the evidence becomes available later "we didn't notice this person was a conjoined twin at first, but it was discovered by [evidence] on [date]."

We could even have another olympics for conjoined people.

Finally, Congressman Dan Crenshaw had a great podcast with @ScottNewgent, who did very poorly "transitioning": https://twitter.com/gummibear737/status/1367956605283823621

@ScottNewgent responded to that tweet:

> It’s the 100% truth. Everything I stated was verified with facts. I almost died from trans health. I will NOT STOP UNTIL kids are safe. The trans debate has NOTHING to do with human rights. It’s about money & they r using our awkward, autistic gay kids to create a enterprise.
