The WNBA is seeing something I've seen over and over in other sports (swimmming, track and field) in which people decide that they can declare certain athletes trans simply because they think so.
What do you do when you've launched a moral panic about transgender athletes in the WNBA, but there has never been an active trans player in the league? Simple: you start a conspiracy theory about every single woman on the court.

I think my family is not going to believe me that my open toe is why I'm staying home right now instead of going swimmming with them, coincidentally just when there is a football match on. 🤭

so many people kept ragging on the changes to zora swimmming in Majora's Mask 3D as if they were this ruinous decision
I had a great time
as far as I'm concerned, that was a net improvement

So @distaff and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary today with dinner at Pappa Flock, home of the chicken tender, and brainstorming the particulars of a musical about Harold Holt, the Aussie PM went missing while swimmming in the ocean. Working titles:
Harold!
We Named a Pool After Him
Holt!
Harold!

In my day, swimmming meant forcibly propelling yourself through water, not this namby-pamby woke nonsense

While we can all agree that low-G swimmming sounds amazing...

*Zero-G* swimming would be pretty awful. Air and water would entrain into large "sticky" bubbles with no easy path to air, and water across your face would not drip off, but accumulate and spread out.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... the beaver “created a new lodge by a toilet block next to a playing field” after swimmming 5 miles along the Dorset coast. I don’t think it needed to be “rescued” but probably not the best spot to build a dam.
Beaver rescued near toilet block in Dorset returned to wild
The animal is believed to have swum five miles along the Dorset coast, the National Trust says.

I've often wondered if that practice really makes a practical difference or is just so embedded in competitive swimmming culture that no one wants to break with it.

This is the canal where usually lots of ducks and coots are swimmming, but is now still covered with a thin layer of ice.P
