Primates are very communal animals and one can get ostracize from the group for doing something that does not benefit the group
Every crime ever committed or war ever started boils down to greed and selfishness at its base level. We have been doing both to each other as long as we have existed. But I'm guessing I'm about to get a lecture on how Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs conspired in 1982 to invent the concept of greed.
Who created those systems? Why were they created, and why have they persisted throughout our history?
While I do think free college is a good long term goal, the short term answer is to let trans athletes compete against athletes of the same gender identity.
Fuzzy Zoeller do you support equal rights for trans folks? Do you believe they can exist as the gender they identify with?
Yes. I am a live and let live person. I, along with 4 in 10 Democrats and 6 in 10 Americans, just have a few trepidations about girls volleyball but apparently that makes me the world's worst bigot.
Ok. Have you read or understand any of the standards of hormone replacement therapy trans folks have to go through to compete in the gender they identify with?
Mushy Zoeller has watched Juwanna Mann before his nightly viewing of Tucker Carlson one too many times.
You made the claim. The onus is on you to make the affirmative case. But also pointing to a great refutation of your claim isn't really full of shit it just means you're unbelievably intellectually lazy. Your loss.
It was quite rude of him to ask you to read. Would be like asking devine to char hot dogs. He's just not capable of doing it
So, no? Just to be clear you’re making this entire argument without understanding the HRT process for trans folks to compete, correct? this is the IOCs stance which has been followed by most, if not all, sport governing bodies. https://stillmed.olympic.org/Docume..._sex_reassignment_and_hyperandrogenism-en.pdf
I want to be abundantly clear here, 10nmol/l of total serum testosterone is not a level equal to a healthy functioning cis-male. That is a female or a male with extreme hypogonadism. The ability to build any type of muscle equal to that of a male competitor is impossible.
The accident didn’t do anything to his ability to produce testosterone. His continuous love of Scott Cochran did that.
At an average 1,500 student high school how many trans kids would you have on avg? Of that population how many play sports and of those how many are particularly good? It feels odd to make this a big deal when you're talking about .01% of the actual population who would maybe bump a girl from varsity to jv and near 0% who would theoretically take a fractional scholarship most female college athletes get
p sure mine was measured at like 4 at my last blood work. my body doesn’t even really produce testosterone anymore like, i walked on with a nick saban football team. i’ve got a really good sense of what being athletic and strong is. the physiological changes i’ve undergone already are honestly mind blowing. most of my muscle mass has completely disappeared and i genuinely feel much weaker. so just like other instances, men with no relevant lived experiences and no skin in the game want to decide what women get to do with their bodies and their lives.
for a couple of month in the spring of ‘10 before yet another knee surgery, yeah. my cleats and work out gear are still packed up somewhere.
i did their o-line camp my senior year and my HS coach worked with jeremy pruitt in the past. so that got me into his office to meet him and join for the practice squad. scott cochran can be corny as hell but having that man spot your reps and yell at you is fucking terrifying
I think we're on the same side of this argument, so I'm not really sure why you are hung up here. I'm not saying there's no separate teams for men or women, I'm saying that in some situations forcing a breakdown by gender isn't necessary or needed. What I think is a good idea is to give all kids the opportunity to participate at a level they can, and have fun. What I'm against is using sports, which should be a fun escape, as tool to further subjugate at risk populations
Like 6 and below maybe? Having 18 yr old boys play 18 yr old girls in high school basketball would be awful.
Agreed. And maybe I’m off but I took his comments more to be about letting them all play at the younger levels. Could be off on that though.
