The vast majority of people who will be impacted by trans bans in sports will be little girls with short hair or arms that are "too muscular."

It will also mean that when a woman is good at her sport the disgusting grumbling and whispering about "may she is he" gets taken more seriously.

This happened with Paula Radcliffe for running marathons too fast. If it helps you to think of a white cis woman being the victim of this.

Of course little black girls will take the brunt of this. As ever.

It's not weird for some species to incorporate toxins from their diet as defenses: poison dart frogs, monarch butterflies, sea slugs, etc

But let's get weird and circuitous with it

#Nicotine was developed by plants to kill insects. As a quirk of #neurochemistry, humans use it addictively, so cigarette butts are everywhere

Birds have figured out they can use them in their nests to repel insect parasites

The original intention of nicotine

Weird!

#AI makes a good cover for a mass layoff that would have happened anyway.

I mean, this would work better for me.
