I thought the California Coastal Act was created to protect sea otters not perverts

I am not sure how much money there is in women’s surfing, so having female participants walk away in protest may be a major sacrifice.

[Robert DeLong]

She more than likely cotes for democrats, so quit belly-aching. If not then I apologize Bethany.

[Third Person]

Hamilton is a badass

Women Athletes should organize their own leagues in every sport affected by the creepy, and clearly unfair to females trans intrusions.

The only requirements would be chromosomes XX and NOT chromosomes XY, and that's that.

It would be a success with athletes and fans.

Eye bleach. Please get me some eye bkeach.

Warning would have been nice? How can we unsee that?!

Women must stand up for themselves. The men have become trannies and stand atop them if they don’t fight....like men.

[Robert DeLong]

That may be, but is she a Democrat supporter? 😋

Instead of the usual batch of eye-bleach, I thought I would offer this one up...:)

Funny thing, the trans movement (mostly male-to-female) has the predominant support of women. For the under-aged, it is nearly all mothers trying to turn their own sons into daughters. You'll have to convince women to fix this themselves. Good luck with that.

[Skooz]

That may be, but is she a Democrat supporter?

She's a born again Christian so my guess is no.

[Tell It Right]

If there are trans men, I hope the surfing competition doesn’t have a swimsuit round.

I love this pic. Audrey even has the kitchen trash can lined with the New York Times ;-)

There was an excellent two season show on apple tv called Make or Break that was about the surfing world tour competition—both mens and womens. It is quite intense.

I can just see a clown boat full of illegals coming ashore during the event.

[Spacetrucker]

Oh, THANKS, PAL, I just had my yearly allotment or inappropriate thoughts in that ONE picture.
