About accommodations…

submitted by one1won from self.GenderCritical

Where is Hubbard staying while in Tokyo? Olympic athletes share rooms…. Did Hubbards roommate freely consent? (I’d hope, though doubt, that Mr Special got special dispensation to stay at an IOC approved hotel.).

Also, residential facilities may open up at educational institutions this, or next, month, right? Biden’s “free nudes/victims for self-IDers” rule will be in effect.

Empathy for women and girls having to make tough choices. This is SO wrong!!!

Since Hubbard is so wealthy - and doesn't seem to have much team spirit - I suspect he probably stayed in a fancy hotel. Because of the ban on spectators, hotel rooms were easy to come by. When you speak of "special dispensation" - what do you mean? I doubt that athletes can be forced to sleep in the Olympic Village if they don't want to. Most stay there because the costs are covered and athletes like to be around other athletes. But costs aren't an issue for Hubbard; he's the son of one of the two billionaires in NZ. And Hubbard doesn't seem to give a shit about anyone but himself, so being around the other athletes might not appeal to him.

Also, residential facilities may open up at educational institutions this, or next, month, right? Biden’s “free nudes/victims for self-IDers” rule will be in effect.

I don't understand what you are saying here. Can you clarify please? Thanks.

While listening on a YouTube channel discussing TW in women’s sports, I’d heard a Olympian, of decades past, raise the question of Hubbard’s accommodations, so I was uncertain whether housing was an individual, team, or IOC decision. I hadn’t heard anything else on the matter. Hubbard is an economic outlier. I’ve, since the OP, found an article stating Simone Biles, and the entire US women’s gymnastics team, had all chosen to stay in a hotel in Tokyo.

As to the second item, I was thinking college dormitories and what used to be called boarding schools (are they still? I haven’t children). Shared room assignments are to be by gender identity, not sex now, for any institution receiving federal dollars, correct? (Where do NB go, anywhere they please? So, people without a gender identity are self limiting or assigned gender at matriculation?)

I’m wondering whether more American parents may be surprised, this fall, by the impact of Biden Administration actions.

Or is COVID lockdown resuming?

Found this school district pretrial motion- nightmare described. First link below. Horrifying. (The lawsuit was given up in 2019. Trans prevails. Over six year battle). But, yikes, this reasoning: an effectively “compelled affirmation policy”? “Nowhere1 in the constitution is the Right to Not be seen naked”, without consent? Perfectly legal for strangers to look on your body, but don’t touch!?! Federal constitution wise. Note this is argument is based on a case about incarcerated persons…

1 Except for religious exemption, that’s likely viable. Until that’s outlawed as a consideration (see Equality Act)

Considering just deleting the post. Feeling pretty dismayed. No one told me clothes were for weather or fashion, only, not for modesty. Had no idea.

The situation in the US is a mess and a minefield now. It's going to take ages and a lot of lawsuits to iron out. If it does ever get ironed out, that is.

But I am certain that once schools open up again and boys and young men find that the new gender woo rules mean they're expected to room with TiFs and female enbys, and to have these annoying girls & young women in male domains, the boys and young men are going to push back big time. Boys and men are allowed to be mean and intolerant - and most of them AFAICT don't want to have to humor, put up with and associate themselves with girls and young women like Gavin Grimm.
