Bathroom Policing, Butch Erasure, and the Rise of Women’s Sports

from Queer Times · host Kristen Becker and Harrison Fish

This week’s Breaking News covers the disturbing story out of Boston, where a butch lesbian was removed from a women’s bathroom during a Kentucky Derby party at the Liberty Hotel. We unpack what actually happened, why public policing of gender presentation is escalating, and how the culture of deputized “citizen enforcement” is making bathrooms battlegrounds.In our Controversial Conversation, we dive into the explosion of women’s sports—from Unrivaled basketball to pro rugby and lacrosse—exploring why queer people, especially gay men, are finding fresh reasons to tune in. We tackle pay equity, trans inclusion, toxic masculinity in sports, and what it would look like to build a truly queer-affirming sports culture from the ground up.

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy. What Then Say You Keith & Tunisha Barnes Welcome to the show! In this podcast we have candid conversations about various topics that will encourage and at times challenge you! The greatest conversations ever had are typically amongst friends in an intimate setting. This is the venue in which the Holy Spirit often works to separate the chaff from the wheat in our lives if we are being honest with ourselves. We hope as you peer behind the veil and join us that you take what you hear and consider it with Gods word in your own life.
