When I saw that Lita was saying Jane was promoting white nationalism of course I wanted to defend Jane because it is untrue and a horrible thing to say.  To be fair I responded to Jane's post yesterday in defense of Lita and it did not post somehow it remained a draft.  I thought what was said regarding "transgender women will never be real women" to be hurtful.  I do not think Jane intentionally tried to hurt Lita.  Lita and Jane are both close friends of mine.  Although I agree with Jane on a lot of things and I understand what she is saying I think being mindful of each other's feelings can go a long way.  Transgender women are not the same as cis women she is right but I think points can be made more delicately.  I want our peaceful kind group back, we used to care about each other.

Hello Folks,
Heidi wrote "trans women will never be real women" that was hurtful and mean."  I disagree because it is a factual statement based on biological reality.

Some are still living in the story of The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andeson.  I hope one day you will be able to acknowledge and accept reality.

Cordially, Jane

Canceling and demonizing people will not change this fact. To those of you who want to demonize BMDC, if you want to continue bullying us, then maybe you should be bullying Cornel West as well, if you have any consistency at all, which I doubt. Your lust for summary expulsions will not advance the debate in any way, shape, or form.  Cornel West has taken a position. It is described in the Karen Hunter Show on YouTube. His response is to have  3 categories in sports. He is asked the question at about 18:45 in the video and his response is at about 19:15 in this video:  https://www.youtube.c...
