Teawamutu didbt Veronica have issues with student feedback at their college? Sounds as if the college had a major win!

At least they let them speak though. I'd be happy to be able to speak the unvarnished truth with a minute disclaimer, rather than being forced to refer to men as women.

Apropos of nothing much, Veronica has apparently resigned from Veronica's tenured academic position. The college agreed to waive 40k of repayments after Veronica didn't come back and teach after Veronica's latest sabbatical.

Veronica is presenting this as a major win.

The constant disclaimer scrolling every time a woman spoke about biological reality was INFURIATING.

Validation trumping everything . Truth? Who cares if I get to do what I want.

Like pps - only watched the first two mins.

If RM/VI’s pearl necklace and cardigan doesn’t underline RM/VI’s right to compete in women’s sports - nothing will!

All those close ups of RM/VI’s physique tells the world everything they need to know why RM/VI and not a woman is a world champion in women’s sports.

More sunlight.

Thank heavens for those voices of reason but I'm angry, I'm so SO angry.

I don't know what's happened this week but I've tipped over into not wanting to be kind AT ALL. So instead I will say nothing because I don't like to lash out.

Once you get through the first few minutes, there are numerous voices of reason.

Lasted two minutes. Will try again later, but so far nothing said that is of substance or could constitute an interesting argument or thought-provoking opinion. Maybe it's just taking time to warm up...

Pmk to watch later with wine. If I watch now in my gardening tea break I might get so angry the poor plants will suffer and DH will be forced to request that we talk about something nice instead.

Will watch later
