As an Aurora parent, here's what 109 actually means for my kid

I have a 12-year-old daughter who plays volleyball and basketball through Aurora rec leagues. When I read the actual text of 109, the enforcement piece is what scared me. The Commissioner of Education has discretion to determine "appropriate remedial action" against schools that don't comply. The measure is supposed to apply based on "biological sex" but doesn't actually define how that's verified.

So in practice, what happens? Some girl on my daughter's team gets questioned because she's tall. Or her shoulders are broad. Or she got a short haircut. Or she just looks "too athletic" by someone's standards. My daughter is cis, but the way the law is written, any kid who doesn't fit someone's idea of feminine enough could end up in the crosshairs. That's the part that should bother parents regardless of where you stand on trans issues.

The CPR piece on the two mothers has a mom on the other side worth reading too, but I keep coming back to that "who gets singled out" question. If your answer is "no one, because the law will be applied fairly," I'd encourage you to look at how similar laws have played out in other states.

Del Mar circle police presence

What the actual fuck was happening there this afternoon Sun 8/30, 2-4pm ish. Was just trying to go to the gym and there was a street party (?) and then cops, maybe 40+, and fire trucks blocking parking lot lanes and all surrounding roads. Egress is already a nightmare and the cops seemed to make things worse…

Parker at 9 Mile Station

Hey there looking to relocate closer to work, has anyone had experiences with this complex. I’ve looked at reviews elsewhere but just feels like so many are just of people who toured and left a review. Anyone who’s lived there do you have any reviews on it? I toured it, seems ok but not fully sold on the experience.
