These two statements seem contradictory:

Quote :

"I don't necessarily disagree with banning pubertal blockers for children."

Quote :

"Until my daughter plays soccer against a team that has a male identifying as a female. Then it gets personal."

Wouldn't the puberty blockers prevent the transgender female from developing the attributes that would be considered disadvantageous to the cisgender female opponent?

I've changed my view on this subject in recent weeks and just went out and purchased my first 'I Love Shemales' bumper sticker to proudly show my support

Quote :

"The Biden administration on Thursday proposed new regulations that would allow schools to bar transgender athletes from participating in competitive high school and college sports, but disallow blanket bans on the athletes that have been approved across the country. The rules would narrow when discrimination of trans athletes would be permitted. But they also would offer guidelines for when schools could bar their participation. Under the proposal, schools would need to consider a range of factors before imposing a ban on trans athletes and would need to justify it based on educational grounds, such as the need for fairness. So, for instance, a school district could justify a ban on transgender athletes on their competitive high school track and field team, whereas a district would have a harder time making that case for an intramural middle school kickball squad. The long-awaited proposal, which is subject to public comment, puts forth a framework for how schools can comply with Title IX, the 50-year-old federal law that bars schools from discriminating on the basis of sex. It would apply to all public K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities that receive federal funding. Reaction was mixed. Transgender rights activists said the proposal provided a welcome set of protections for trans students but also worried the regulations could offer a road map for those who want to discriminate. “The proposed rule helps clarify that these blanket bans on transgender athletes are in violation of Title IX and is a really positive development,” said Scott Skinner-Thompson, a supporter of transgender rights and associate professor at the University of Colorado Law School. But he said the provisions allowing for discrimination were “deeply troubling.” “When it comes to the hard cases, this is saying that trans kids can be discriminated against.” Conservatives were opposed, objecting to a proposal that would, in effect, wipe out blanket bans on transgender athletes passed in recent months by 20 states. “Under this rule, equal rights for female athletes are history,” said Penny Nance, chief executive and president of Concerned Women for America, a conservative advocacy group. “Those 50 years of women’s achievements can now go to men pretending to be women.” Separately Thursday, the Supreme Court addressed the issue of trans athletes for the first time, refusing to immediately reinstate a West Virginia law barring transgender athletes from playing on female sports teams from middle school through college. The law defines eligibility for certain sex-specific teams to “be based solely on the individual’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” The court’s action was not a decision on the merits of the issue, but it means a transgender girl may remain on a middle-school track team while battles over the law’s legality continue."

Interesting. I honestly just think it would be better than states are left to handle this particular issue (specific to sports)

But I can see how this legislation (from how it is described here) could work
I am pleased with a lot of what the Biden administration has been doing

Making it case by case is the most sensible thing given the extreme rarity of this scenario. It’s moronic that people are so worried about transgender people.

4/6/2023 11:03:07 PM

Couldn’t they get their own Olympics like the Special Olympics? Seems the most logical

4/6/2023 11:13:27 PM

^^ yeah but the worry here is that on a local level they may face blatant and unfair treatment. I for one would love to have it just be a non-issue but that isn't how people work unfortunately

Seems like transgender terrorism is starting to mushroom slowly.

4/8/2023 6:19:20 AM

First it was Lia terrorizing women’s swimming, then the Nashville school shooter, and the ghost of Lia haunting that poor swimmer…where will they strike next? Better hug your kids at night.

Then it would be easier for everyone to medal. If you feel like an Olympic champion, you can be one!

anyone seeing this stuff with the mrbeast team

I try to make a point of not watching MrBeast videos. Please fill us in.

One of his friends/co-video makers is transitioning and used to be their more "masculine" dude
he has a wife (separated) and a kid

and it has brought out the full force of gamer-net/podcast bros to attack him and is trending on twitter
like I've never seen this much open targeting on a trans individual before

4/14/2023 7:13:41 PM

Intriguing.

I don’t think I have purchased Nike since like 2010. I think they broke while I was at a Panthers game

Insurance companies suck

this is a cool chance for a new start up though
have all drag show groups and companies insure each other
there is not only an economic reason, but social cause for them to do so in what they face

"Hey, lemme tell you something. All you rednecks or assholes who don’t want to drink Bud Light, fuck y’all. Hey, y’all can’t cancel me!” Barkley said to a mixture of cheers and booing from the crowd. “Hey, I ain’t worried about getting canceled because lemme tell you something, if y’all fire me and gimme all that money, I’m gonna be playing golf every fucking day. So listen, as I said last night, if you’re gay, God bless you. If you’re trans, God bless you. And if you have a problem with them – fuck you,” Barkley concluded."

It's easy to say things like that when you have a net worth of 60+ million and likely a huge buyout in your tv contract.

it’s the pushback he got in real-time that’s informative

Tell me your opinions on Haley Van Voorhis' tren and anavar cycles.

9/26/2023 1:39:49 PM

doesn't it seem fair and logical for them to have their own league?

not on a local/high school level, of course, but professional

I mean, fuck sports, and fuck everyone, but it should at least be equal

9/26/2023 2:08:53 PM

I agree, all sports should be played only by clones

But how would I know? elementary rec soccer legend

Just curious, maybe I’ve asked this before, but do we see any many female-male transitions attempting to play male sports?

9/27/2023 10:30:32 AM

I don't know the numbers/percentages, but I don't think we see many male-female transitions attempting to play female sports

there was only one trans athlete in Ohio when they banned trans athletes in Ohio

that’s also a very good podcast ep, btw
