      I don’t think I’ve heard that word out loud in over ten years and the last person I heard say it was a gay man. I’ve run into some pretty shitty people in that time frame, yet none of them managed to use it. That’s really bizarre.

        I got called it the other day when I put my hair up in a bun. And earlier that day I had coworkers say “he’s a man!” When I came in with my hair up and they didn’t realize yet that I didn’t cut it. Welcome to SW Virginia

          Damn, I’m sorry. The fact that people like this are still around is baffling. I moved to Indiana about two years ago, and I’ve found many folks out here to be pretty backward, but not that good damn backward.

              Do it! I left SW Virginia for the Pacific Northwest and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Doubled my salary, with a modest CoL bump.

              Had to come back to help take care of a terminally ill parent, and can’t wait to leave again when they are gone.

          Damn dude I’m just a straight derp metalhead with hair to my ass now (it wasn’t short short pre plague but since I couldn’t get a haircut I decided it’s time for metal hair). Worst I get asked here in mn is how long it took to grow out and the crap I put in it to make it look great and other details like pillows etc… latter normally women asking for info dumps. I do get confused as a woman rarely when people are on autopilot but that’s just amusing at this point and I just give the person a bit of a ribbing for assuming. It’s understandable but makes you realize just how much we bucket people by just off hair alone.

          I find it a great shitty people filter though, people that don’t like it tend to not be my kinda chill with like babymetal or we butter the bread with butter silly metal or generally. Good luck on moving sounds like the south is def not for me now if it ever wasn’t.

          They think it’s worth the gamble to grab power, influence, and money until the whole thing comes crashing down.

      There’s a surprising amount of Latin American trump supporters. They’re either naturalized or children of naturalized citizens who get mad at undocumented immigrants for not doing it “the right way” so his rhetoric appeals to them in that regard at least.

    Sometimes, there are valid arguments regarding transgender matters. For example, someone that has medically-induced higher levels of testosterone might have a resulting advantage in aggressive sports. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it’s at least worth discussing it openly and honestly. What I find odd though is that the people that make transgender matters in sports their main issue say they do it for fairness, especially in support of women. However, these same people tend to have misogynistic views everywhere else in politics, so I’m supposed to accept that this one particular thing is where they finally started caring about equality?? It just seems so inauthentic.

    My sister is one of these people. She’s suddenly all about equality in sports. What?! When has she ever cared about anything or anyone besides herself and her kids as an extension?? When has she cared about fairness?? It’s so uncharacteristic of her to think that way, that I have trouble believing anything she has to say on the matter.

      Why is this worth discussing? You want to talk about how Michael Phelps has unusually long arms for his frame, which gave him a huge advantage while swimming? You want to talk about how some Ultramarthon runners have slightly different lactic acid buildup genes so their muscles don’t burn as much? You want to talk about how all the players in the NBA and the WNBA are in the top 99.9 percentile for human height, giving them a huge advantage? Should all of these people be banned from sport because of their genetic advantages?

      Many athletes have flat out, built in genetic advantages to other people. There is literally no way to make this “fair” without excluding people that are outside of what will be a 100% arbitrary baseline or forced gene editing, which we are barely able to do and would be wildly unethical.

      It’s not worth discussion, because the discussion will be asinine.

        Theres a very simple answer to that: The things you are mentioning (height, weight, arm-span, testosterone levels) are not normally distributed in the human population, but follow a binormal distribution. It makes sense to let people from one of the two parts of the distribution compete within their own bell curve. It makes far less sense to set a cutoff at the tail of the curve and disallow people from the tail from competing.

        Though the word they are saying might share the same root as fascist. The Latin word fascis referred to a bundle of sticks and as French developed most s sounds before another consonant were dropped (status > etat, schola > ecole). Also c to g and vice versa is a common sound change. The French ruled England for a while and the word made its way into English then.

        I don’t know if you cared about any of that but I do think it’s a funny name that those homophobes gave themselves

    Khelif is an athlete who trained for years to perfect her skills and talent. Khelifs skill gave her the honor of representing her country at an international level at the Olympics.

    This MAGA lady, whose name I won’t even bother looking up, doesn’t really bring much to the table in terms of skill, talent or vision. This maga lady isn’t even the best sexist out there and is just riding on the coattails of better, smarter or more accomplished bigots. Why do people give losers like this lady any attention at all?

    I watched the Khelif vs Carini fight and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I’m an actual fan of women’s combat sports and I’ve seen them kick each other in the head way harder than anything in that match. Khelif had faster hands and better positioning. She earned the win.

    I’m related to several collegiate level women athletes and none of them give a shit about trans women in sports. I’ve never met a trans woman who’d even come close to competing with them.

    The people who are most concerned about keeping trans women from competing don’t even watch women’s sports. Hell, I doubt they even bothered to watch the 45 second fight yet have all kinds of opinions about it.
