Someone please satisfactorily explain the originally shared tweet so that I can laugh and / or be mad.

Right now, my only reaction upon reading it is, "WTF?! Am I supposed to understand any of this?!"

OK. So Polymarket is taking bets on Drake Maye's wife being trans because she has a traditionally male middle name?

I have a niece whose middle name is Douglas due to family history, and other reasons.

She's not trans. She's less than 1.

1/18/2026 11:40:02 AM

My daughter’s middle name is Taylor. She’s not trans. At least not yet.

1/18/2026 12:05:33 PM

Taylor doesn't seem "traditionally male" as much as traditionally gender neutral

1/18/2026 4:02:14 PM

nobody ever claimed there was any logic with Transvestigators

I think ryan is a boys name and casey is a girls name but those can be used for the opposite sex too

1/18/2026 4:21:04 PM

I think Casey is more gender neutral but agree on Ryan

"1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sends-letters-to-trans-people 2. The letter, which has been reported to Erin In The Morning by a Kansas-based activist, states that under House Substitute for Senate Bill 244, Kansas trans people must immediately surrender their licenses. 3. Should any transgender person be caught driving without a valid license, they could face a class B misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Kansas already requires county jails to house inmates according to sex assigned at birth. https://www.kcur.org/politics-elections-and-government/2023-04-27/kansas-now-has-the-nations-strictest-anti-trans-law-banning-access-to-bathrooms-and-shelters 4. SB 244, also known as the "bathroom bounty" bill, contained heavy identification document bans as well. The bill was rushed through the Kansas Legislature in January using a "gut and go" procedure that bypassed nearly all public input on its key provisions. 5. Gov Kelly vetoed the bill on February 13, calling it "poorly drafted," but the Legislature overrode days later. In addition to the driver's license provisions, the law bans trans people from bathrooms matching their gender identity in public buildings and creates a bathroom bounty hunter system. 6. The consequences for noncompliance could escalate quickly. Under Kansas law, driving without a valid license is a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine—though first-time offenders are more likely to face a citation and fine."

7/21/2026 6:42:03 AM

it's pretty easy to judge someone who is having a hard time when we're only watching video footage of one of their worst days

it's also pretty disgusting that the NY Post article continuously misgenders this person, particularly when the crux of the conflict is precisely that

also telling that they felt the need to write an article about a video that’s a year and a half old

7/21/2026 10:17:10 AM

Oh wow...yeah thats def odd. Maybe video just was released?

7/21/2026 10:57:06 AM

Yeah, that was clearly disclosed (that it was an older incident, but video only just released).

The officer was willing to use the subject's preferred gender when it seemed like it might enable pepper spray or tasing (can't remember which).

7/21/2026 11:24:04 AM

In general, it doesn't seem relevant for this soap box thread, imo

Not sure how one person having a bad day would affect any politics/policy here

7/21/2026 3:43:35 PM

it’s relevant in the fact that it’s just another example of a media company fanning the flames of anti-trans bigotry
