“The goal of this campaign is not to protect cis-girl athletes as much as it is to make trans athletes disappear,” writes Gessen. “This is a movement to exclude trans girls from community and opportunity. It is a movement driven by panic over the safety of women and children that reproduces earlier panics, like those over the presence of lesbians on women’s sports teams. And, just like earlier panics, this one is based on what passes for common sense but is in fact ignorance and hate.”

“[President Biden] has begun his term by using sanctions in much the same way as previous Presidents did: because he has to, and only to the extent that he has to,” writes Gessen in the New Yorker. “Morally, the Biden Administration had to act, because the President ran on the promise of being tough on Russia. More important, he ran on the promise of knowing right from wrong and acting accordingly. But, both morally and legally, Biden is doing little more than the bare minimum.”

“Were this an isolated case, it might be understood differently than what in fact it is: part of a much wider effort of the Polish government and active elements of Polish society to silence the legitimate work of Holocaust scholarship in favor of protecting the supposed interests of the Polish state for which the narrative of Polish innocence during the Holocaust plays an important role. The present case must be seen as part of that larger effort,” write Brent and Grabowski in Tablet. Jonathan Brent is the executive director of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and the Visiting Alger Hiss Professor of History and Literature at Bard College.
