Unfortunately, the requirements for the program are ridiculously severe. It’s super hard to get allowed, especially when you’re under 50 or only have mental health issues. We really just need UBI so people aren’t required to struggle to work to get by.

Sorry, it’s not worth having baby’s first “what is a trans person” conversation with you, which would be clearly needed before delving into the nitty gritty. Take that pass! Go somewhere else.

So the effort trans women put in to compete doesn’t count for anything, people just decide to transition to win sporting events, and trans women are men with a different body. Wow, you really hit the trifecta of shit takes.

Exactly my point. Thanks for illustrating it.

Let me ask you a question in turn. How many trans women are placing well in sports? Numbers, percentages, whatever you’ve got. How many cis women have had their rightful first place stolen by someone who’s just naturally better by merit of how they were born?

In answer to your question, transition does a lot, more than you would expect. It’s pretty statistically clear that the residual effects of going through the wrong puberty haven’t caused a physical ability imbalance that renders competition unfair. We haven’t seen any such thing play out, unless you consider any trans woman placing ever as inherently unfair and stealing results from cis women.

I want to know where this outrage was for Michael Phelps. We didn’t see legislation passed to deperson Andre the Giant. There are huge biological differences between people, and some people have an advantage in sport by merit of how their body works. There’s never outrage against gifted men.

Women have to suffer the brunt of this line of attack. Many cis women, for some reason especially women of color, get attacked as men if they have elevated testosterone, chromosomal abnormalities, or many other random biological quirks that someone doesn’t think is fair. Imane Khalif, a cis woman, gets attacked for not being a woman. Lin Yu Ting gets attacked for not being a woman. Caster Semenya gets attacked for not being a woman.

This trans panic in sports is not about fairness. Nobody making these decisions are doing so to create a balanced competition. This is sexism and transphobia being used to police women to ensure they’re feminine enough to appear on the world stage.

Apparently, since you never did. Do I just need to use small words for you, so you can understand what’s being discussed?

I thought you did research. Must have been too hard for you.

No.

Do some fucking research then.

Don’t bother. You have no idea what you’re talking about. The advantage you assume exists doesn’t. There’s no deluge of trans people overtaking cis people at any sport.

You’re fear mongering about shit you don’t understand remotely. Shut the fuck up.

They don’t give a fuck about fair competition so that’s irrelevant. This is just bigotry.

Probably don’t talk about people’s transitions if you have no clue what you’re talking about. Thanks!

Same way I’ve always felt about professional sports. Do what you want, have fun, but you’re taking a game way too seriously.

Breath of the wild. I loved Zelda games up until then, and everything after is so fucking boring. I don’t get it.

How did you take this footage of me at work

You know, if I wanted this kind of abuse I’d talk to my husband

For video games, I just beat silksong, which was super fun and pretty brutal. The art and music is phenomenal though, it’s a great game. Working on Hades 2 right now, which is also fantastic and I’d recommend.

For board games I’ve been getting my group into the Heroes 3 board game. It’s the biggest box I’ve ever seen for a game lol. It does a great job of feeling like the computer game while meeting the constraints of a board game, plus there’s lots of bits to fiddle with. Downside is its huge, so you need a big table or a group comfortable playing on the floor.

Cats aren’t exactly uncommon, but my little girl is hairless so I think she might count?

An alleged handler, a pro-Russian Moldovan businessman, was later identified amid suspicions that Russia’s security services were behind that campaign, according to Agence France-Presse.

Of course Russia is fucking involved. Putin wants to leave the world as bad off for everyone that’s not him as he can. Fuck every asshole that participated in this horseshit.
