  • While I am not advocating harm against Trump, using force – including violent force – to stop active harm against you or someone else is something we all would probably feel justified in if the situation came up, for instance if a crazy guy was trying to hurt or murder your child. The secret service did it today when they killed the shooter (at least i think they did; that’s the current reporting).

    That alone is enough to vote for the Democrats this round.

    I disagree. Dems have to do better than “vote for our clearly-terrible-but-less-terrible-than-the-other-terrible guy”. Their messaging is bad. The attacking of people who aren’t convinced to vote for Joe Biden is bad. The “shut up and fall in line” attitude is bad.






  • they have found that going through male puberty gives a person who transition afterwards an advantage over cis women

    Did they also find that short women have an advantage over tall women? How about lighter women having an advantage over heavier women? How about women having an advantage for having more muscle mass? How about people with androgen insensitivity syndrome? Or XX male syndrome? Intersex people?

    My point is people will always have advantages somewhere (and there’s no clean place to draw the line); no two people are built the same, which means you absolutely can have – and do have – trans women (who went through a male puberty) with no advantage over cis women. The UCI won’t even allow those women on a case-by-case basis, which is absolutely 100% transphobic.

    An actual solution is to divide racers up by skill class and stop gender segregating sports, and to stop caring so much about who wins, but that will never happen as long as money is involved.

    Everyone cries about “fairness to women” and “fairness in women’s sports” when what they mean is “keeping sports exclusively for cis women”; trans women are women, but almost no one cares about fairness for them.
