Letters to the Editor for July 26
The letter writer has stepped into a minefield that he himself seeded. He claims that administration of puberty blockers to enable gender transitions equates to the old Chinese practice of the “foot-binding” of little girls and genital mutilation by “Muslim traditionalists” of young girls. Both were intended to disempower women — “lotus-petal” feet can’t run and mutilation of females proves conclusively their vitiation as full human beings.
The student-athlete’s assertion that he is unable to clear his name because he would “break the law” if he talks about his case, is inaccurate. He has the right to speak about his case if he wishes to. It is likely that when the civil case filed against him by the alleged victim was settled, he signed a confidentiality agreement which prohibits the disclosure of its terms. This agreement is not a “law” which can be broken. It is a contract.
Of course, words only have the meanings we give them. Woke, for example, was originally the past tense of wake. Then some people gave it the meaning “aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues .” So, when conservative politicians call themselves “anti-woke,” they’re calling themselves unaware, ignorant. Well, that fits.
New flash: the Court is already destroyed. The fact that SCOTUS is not required to follow ethics rules required by every other judge in the land is a disgrace and defames Lady Justice. SCOTUS has clearly demonstrated that it is incapable of cleaning up its scandals. Every day we learn of revelations of Justices having close ties with big money donors, accepting lavish trips, hiding finances and gifts, and participating in partisan political events.
