CNN Reports that, “Boy Scouts open membership to transgender boys“. Coincidentally, the Boy Scouts began offering a new Merit Badge as part of this announcement. The requirements to qualify for the new badge have not yet been fully disclosed.
The ‘Clip and Tuck-It’ Badge
The Boy Scouts of America says it will begin accepting members based on their gender identity, opening the door for transgender boys to join.
Under the new policy, which takes effect immediately, membership in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be based on the gender indicated on an application.
Previously, the organization relied on an individual’s birth certificate to determine eligibility for its single-gender programs.
Granted that Facebook thinks there are 58 gender options, but we think all of those choices can be easily be boiled down to three– the Men, the Women, and the Democrats (all the rest). Everyone’s bathroom problems solved.
And as long as we’re solving problems, let’s start working on those pesky female body-type issues. BYOB. Bring your own Barbie.
History and meaning: The roots of the word miscellaneous comes from the Latin *miscellus*, meaning “mixed,” following the rationale that a lot of nonbinary people would say that they have aspects of various genders at various times.
Here’s one view of ‘History’s’ perspective of TransGender Restroom Policies enacted during the Barack H. Obama Presidency. You’ve left quite the legacy, haven’t you Mr. Obama?
The Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton just uncovered the “real” video that they claim provoked the Orlando Pulse Nightclub Radical Islamic Massacre. Unfortunately, because of the influence of their TransGender, Cosplaying constituency, the import of this video has been downplayed.
Male students at private Westminster College in Salt Lake City can now play on female sports teams and use female locker and shower facilities as long as they identify as women.
School officials say they are forced to allow cross-dressing men to play on women’s sports teams — and use women’s showers — because of the way the Obama administration has decided to interpret Title IX.
“Westminster College is committed to protecting the rights of all students, and the purpose of this message to inform you of the newly-affirmed rights of transgender students under the DCL.” (“”DCL is an acronym used by Schwartz for “Dear Colleague Letter.”)
These “newly-affirmed rights” include “the right to access restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity” and “the right to participate in athletic activities consistent with their gender identity,” Schwartz wrote.
“In cases where selection for teams is competitive or when the activity involved is a contact sport, Westminster College will make tailored requirements based on sound, current, and research-based medical knowledge about the impact of an individual student’s participation on the competitive fairness or physical safety of the sport,” Schwartz added.
South African runner Caster Semenya dominated the women’s 800-meter final Saturday in Rio, finishing well ahead of the competition to take home the gold medal.
Semenya is widely believed to be “intersex,” defined by the United Nations as people born with sex characteristics “that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies.” The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) last summer suspended International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) rules prohibiting athletes who exceed a testosterone threshold from competing in women’s track and field events, clearing the way for Semenya to compete in Rio.
