J.K. Rowling received death threats for pointing out cases like Janine Chandler et al vs. California Department of Corrections. Feminists in name only (FINOS) like many in the running community don't really care about women; they care about being seen as supporting the correct (left) side. They don't seem to care if women's records fall or women are displaced, or if dopers (if they are white Americans) compete. They ignore bigger issues like what's actually happening now in prisons because it's more about being seen as siding with the right team than fairness or safety.
Strout and Wade are two of the biggest advocates for DSD athletes and trans women competing in women's sport, so white men are among the only ones with larger platforms in running media actually addressing this kind of issue fairly (Amby Burfoot did a great job). Never have I seen either one of them include an interview or point to an athlete who doesn't think the way they do, so readers are bombarded with inclusion over fairness every single time. And Strout goes so far as to block people like me who disagree with her, despite the fact that I have never had much interaction with her online. It's a completely biased take, and yet at least one of them boasts about her journalistic chops. She just doesn't ever want to defend her take (the science is evolving!) so calls others transphobic and shuts down any conversation.
Sarah Lorge Butler is one of the better journalists and one of the few female reporters who is able to present a topic without getting overly emotionally involved. It's too bad there aren't more like her in the running community.
Regarding: "Right then, it was clear that the lethality of coronavirus was entirely contingent on government narratives." I disagree. I recently lost a colleague to COVID and he would otherwise definitely still have been alive and working. Also, I have been collaborating with several lung doctors for the past 12+ years and I have seen some of them be very cut up about losing patients to COVID. In the 10 years prior I had never heard them make comments about patients. Yu would be hard-pressed to get those working on the front lines to agree that the lethality of the virus is contingent on government narratives.
