Satire
On Tuesday’s edition of NBC’s “Hallie Jackson Now,” NBC News Correspondent Noah Pransky discussed World Aquatics having an “open category” for trans athletes to compete in and stated that “by and large, trans women do not tend to dominate,” but there are “some trans women who are doing very well” competing against biological women.
Pransky stated, “[T]hey’re trying to balance the concerns of people who are concerned about access for trans women to sports as well as concerns about fairness in sports, when you have some women — some trans women who are doing very well. Now, research has found that, by and large, trans women do not tend to dominate, but — and that’s especially in younger, youth sports. But, there are some instances. That’s why we’re seeing it. It’s a very nuanced, very nuanced topic. And basically, we can simplify this down, a lot of organizations…are really struggling to find a balance that suits everybody’s needs.”

Read MoreIn the run-up to the release of Barbie, there was a lot of criticism of its woke themes and the fact that it was a film that seemed more targeted at adults than children. Many conservatives took to Twitter to predict that it would be the latest example of the adage, “go woke, go broke.” Instead, Barbie crushed it at the box office, earning $155 million domestically and $337 million worldwide.
