Thoughts?
If you want to be racist call yourself anti-racist.
If you want to commit violence toward police call yourself anti-fascist.
I cannot believe in 2022 we must pretend a seriously ill man is a woman in order to cater to his mental illness. And that's actually probably the greater mental illness.
we have fallen as a society. These people are freaks and deserve to be treated as such, not some God damn trailblazer

aren’t transitioning requirements in the NCAA rule book that would help alleviate the stress in places like a locker room.
iel needs to be a lot smarter on this if iel wishes to change minds and attitudes. This isn’t all on the straight community, it’s on iel too.
Good lord.
A new pronoun. Easy to use and doesn’t conflict with our established pronouns.
Gotta hand it to the French on this one.

to mean something else. So, if the French have a new word and it fits the issue, I'm not going to hide from it or
deny it's a better option than despising the trans, non-binary and LGTBQ community for creating a cluster fuck
of everyday language. "iel" fits the cause and it's a darned good fit.
But that's not my observation. You have a tendency to latch onto phrases and use them A LOT. Apropos of nothing was a big favorite of yours for awhile. So too was Fifth Column.
I just found it sorta funny.
Something that is on the pathetic side of things. But you seem to be okay with that.
And now this new pronoun. That's absolutely correct. And was really all I was commenting on.
And I don't know if absolutism is correct. Nor do I agree that it's necessarily pathetic. But better to have a moral compass than simply gliding with the trade winds. A foundation-less life seems to be fraught with danger. Just my opinion. If it works for you, great.
I don’t suppose you’ll find it in the near future. It usually involves honesty.
I love you enough to tell you the truth. And you despise me for it!
And I'm no republican bub!

even what iel was. Now I know, but I still don't know, much less care

On one hand, I hate the idea of telling anyone that they're not allowed to participate. Many of this subset of the population are already prone to manic depression and self-harm tendencies.
But I do know that it isn't fair to force women to compete against biological males. They stand about a 1% chance of winning, at best. Even the Olympic standard of requiring the testosterone levels to be below a certain threshold doesn't remotely cover it. From the womb forward, males are exposed to testosterone that females simply aren't. Requiring them to be suppressed on competition day does nothing to eliminate the advantage. They will always have a massive, massive physical edge.
Maybe another division needs to be created. I don't know.
that don’t conform to another’s.
Frankly, the trans, non-binary and LGBTQ have been less than generous at times and far too combative for a smooth transition into this new realm of modern life. There has been real productive dialogue. Much of what happens is too quick for standard norms to change easily.
We The straight community haven’t done well either and have through all of human history been negligent and insensitive to our gay brother’s and sisters. Truly shameful indeed. So it’s understandable at this time they should be combative.
Even still, there needs to a better way than through edicts mandates and arbitrary laws. First though we the straight community need to unconditionally recognize all of our neighbors for who they are.
WTF is wrong with you, and "they" should not expect us to accept or bend to their small minded and small numbered take on social norms. You are a very strange and troubled whatever you identify as
If you were born a hermaphrodite, it's far more complicated, I understand that.
You know what the best outcome here is? For this swimmer to say it was all a joke in the end. Because if he says that, it will almost certainly put an end to this crap.
Population bitching about this to Man up or Shut up.
We let younger people play up. Maybe the women could swim with the men if they want, but the men shouldn't swim with the women?
I don't think drugs should factor into it. If the reproductive organs are present, then the person is in sport what they are in biology. If the person has a true disorder (e.g., born with extra chromosomes), then perhaps a ruling by a medical body can be made as to the true sex. But, that is so rare, it will likely not present a problem.
That way, grown adults don't have to walk around pretending that someone else's fantasy is their own reality. We indulge children when they don't perceive reality correctly, but we don't reinforce them, and we don't require adults to indulge other adults whose mental perception does not match reality (in this case, biological reality)...at least, we didn't used to do that.
Outrageous that it is encouraged by college administrators and the NCAA. Insanity.
Genius. I myself feel like a member of the Womens Swedish National soccer team! Put me in coach! Where's the sauna?
