Re: “Judge: Transgender player can play in tourney” (Web page C1, Nov. 26).
After claiming, with shamefully no proof, that transgendered girls athletes are taking on girls’s sports activities and endangering cisgender feminine athletes, Ms. Slusser was quoted as saying that she was stunned “how much hate people might have for me.”
If she wants a shoulder to cry on from somebody who actually is aware of hate, would possibly I recommend she discuss to, and commiserate with, her transgender teammate.

State follows nationin swing to the best
California voters displayed excessive right-wing values on the propositions on this previous election.
They voted to maintain slavery in Californian prisons. They voted to fill our prisons with individuals convicted of minor crimes. They voted in opposition to growing the minimal wage for the poorest Californians. They voted in opposition to reasonably priced housing for the poorest amongst us.
Clearly, we’ve turn out to be contaminated with the identical love of authoritarianism that has contaminated our nation and so many different international locations world wide. We now have chosen worry and cruelty as an alternative of affection and compassion.

Democrats ought to trendtoward middle to win
Clearly, the Democratic management has grossly misinterpret the citizens’s temper in a titanic method. Whereas the GOP boldly outlined a concrete set of conservative points, whether or not actual or imagined, the blue occasion failed miserably to handle them successfully and even in any respect.
Outreach to minorities by the Republicans additional bolstered a united march towards victory, rejecting a feminine presidential candidate for the second time in our latest historical past. This election highlights the purpose that charisma, irrespective of how corrupt, warped and harmful, trumps competence and expertise each time.
The ultimate message to Democrats must be {that a} decidedly aggressive transfer towards the middle with a view to seize the hearts and minds of the nice silent majority residing between each coasts is required most of all. New populist leaders who can transfer America’s heartland are wanted with a view to have not less than a preventing probability to win.

Residents should dareto oppose Trump
We now have a president who lies, cheats and degrades those that dare to oppose him.
I hope those that are ashamed to have him symbolize our nation will do all they’ll to overshadow his unfavourable affect by constructing a motion that’s primarily based on honesty, justice and compassion.
We can not afford to be silent when our future and the way forward for our subsequent era are at stake.
