Reminder that trans women who played USTA tennis tournaments already had a RIDICULOUS amount of hurdles to play in the first place as I noted months ago -
Now they're just like "Screw you after jumping through our hoops, you can't play at all anymore!!"

The problem to be solved is the system. How do we make the system want to be as generous as our hearts are? How do we make the system stop denying that there is enough to go around? How do we make them stop lying? No, not the people asking for accommodation — the liars are the systems _denying_ it.

Here's the thing, though: There's joy in also just doing the nice thing for people! Accommodating those who don't "need" it isn't Letting Them Get Away With It — it's just being nice! If you must, it's being generous to them. That's okay, you're a generous person! Let yourself be okay with that.

A lot of folks have spent time dunking on this and being angry in response; both are understandable because this view is wrong. But I also understand how people *arrive* at this mindset, because it's the cultural default that we're taught if we don't know any better. One of scarcity and vengeance...
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Keep this in mind as the Hegseth Signal call gets back in the news.
The material need NOT be “classified” for criminal liability to attach (but hard legal standard to meet - “gross negligence”)
Further investigation to see, among other things, if this method had been used before is necessary
And the likelihood that this material is, in fact, classified is great

This is disgusting, cowardly garbage. Let trans women play tennis. Everyone who entertained 'just asking questions about men in women's sports' should understand that this was never, and is is not, about sports, but pretending it was sure did pave the way to erasing trans people from public life.

I have recognized the need for a purely alphabetical section of Links That Burn, so it's easier to check whether something is already listed. After I finish fine-tuning the RSS feeds, that'll be my next structural project.

I do hope the new Toby cover will make people stop spreading the rumor that the series is over. Some authors take a ten year break without those rumors starting up. I miss one year because I'm changing publishers and everyone's eager to report my demise.

Very exciting email from IngramSpark about how they're going to charge indie authors even more money for printing books next year. Very cool and fun news considering how much I already have to charge for a paperback when it still only costs trad pennies per copy. Very normal industry.

I didn't get an answer, so let's crowdsource
How do you effectively make the world accessible to people with disabilities while making sure people who don't need it don't take advantage but without denying access to people who need it?
i think the answer is "stop being a cop about it."
