Opinion: Her son, the transgender plaintiff in the Supreme Court case, defeated 470 girls over 1,400 competitions. He single-handedly denied hundreds of girls the chance to compete in the sport they loved and stole the girls’ state shot put title.

R. Lee Ermey during his time as a real U.S. Marine Corps drill instructor in 1966.
Long before audiences knew him as the unforgettable Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, R. Lee Ermey had already lived the life he would later portray on screen.
After enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1961 following a troubled youth, Ermey eventually became a drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. His commanding voice, razor-sharp delivery, and demanding style were not created for Hollywood—they were developed while training real Marine recruits during the Vietnam War era.
Following his service, including a tour in Vietnam, Ermey entered the film industry almost by chance. He initially worked as a technical advisor on military productions, but his authenticity quickly earned him acting roles.
When Stanley Kubrick began casting Full Metal Jacket, Ermey was hired only to advise on military accuracy. However, after recording an improvised drill instructor performance filled with original insults and commands, he impressed Kubrick so much that he was cast as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
The performance was rooted in Ermey’s own experiences as a Marine drill instructor. Kubrick reportedly allowed him to replace much of the scripted dialogue with his own improvised lines, making Hartman one of the rare major film characters whose personality was shaped largely by the real-life experiences of the actor portraying him.
Even decades later, Ermey remained a strong supporter of veterans and the Marine Corps, becoming one of the most recognizable military figures in American popular culture.

Justice Thomas:
"Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immutable 'biological' characteristic...it is binary."
"To use language to obscure reality—to show 'indifference regarding the truth'—is to lie to the public..."
Dear @SenWarre: You have known me since we were both on the faculty at UPenn back in the 1980s. You know very well that I am a progressive. It is irresponsible and immoral to claim that opposition to trans ideology is a matter of being right-wing or wanting to harm anyone. It is precisely this view, which ignores the misogyny of trans ideology, and the fact that sex in mammals is binary and immutable, that has driven a large portion of the American electorate, including *many* progressives, to embrace the populist right.
Transgenderism really is the biggest pile of shite to ever crawl itself out of the fucking shite bucket.
It's nothing but male privilege, male aggression, male desire, male fetishism, and it's brainwashed half of the world who think destroying women's rights in the name of men in fucking dresses is progressive.
You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
What people think LDL is:
- Grease clogging your pipes
- Pure evil, "bad cholesterol," no redeeming features
- Lower the better, floor it, no brakes
- The reason your breakfast egg is trying to kill you
What LDL actually is:
- A delivery van hauling cholesterol out to cells that need it
- Cargo that builds your hormones, your vitamin D, and every cell wall you own
- The exact same cholesterol as the "good" kind, just driving the other way
- A number that was probably never measured, just guessed by a formula from 1972
When your LDL drops:
- During severe infection, as your body spends it fighting
- In cancer and liver failure
- In the frail and dying, where low cholesterol tracks with an earlier funeral
When your LDL rises:
- When your body is busy repairing itself
- When you fast, drop weight, or get lean and healthy on low carb
So let me get this straight. It falls in the sick and the dying, and rises in the fit and the healing, and the plan is a lifelong drug to force it back down.
Bold strategy. Let's see how the arteries feel about it.
A heavy weight boxer cannot self identify into the lightweights where he stands a better chance of success, or a mediocre 14 yr old identify as 12 to win the under 12s race. Or even an untalented but enthusiastic able bodied athlete identify as disabled to gain an advantage. It’s the whole reason we have categories in sport, to offer opportunities across society, fairly. Females are worthy of their fair sport. It’s nothing but old fashioned misogyny, a poor understanding of sport & anatomy, or simply virtue signalling attention seeking to suggest men in women’s sport is acceptable.
📕 With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.
A small reminder very mediocre college swimmer Lia ( William) Thomas 6ft 4’ went from over 600th in U.S. men’s college distance swimming to beating three women’s USA Olympic medalists in sprinting! Males do not belong in sport for females… at ANY levels. We’re worthy of our own fair sports category.
Justice Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor ruled against women having equal protection under the law.
Liberal women, yet again, prove to be the biggest hurdle women face.
