I think it's hilarious watching this **** show play out. Very entertaining. Biological males crushing female records everywhere. Erasing history.
I'm rural area on a co-op. We didn't lose power for more than a few minutes. Never lost water. Had a few exterior faucets pop off due to freezing, but cut those off as soon as we heard them.BallerStaf2003 said:aggiehawg said:In the 70s a MTF transgender sued to be able to play on the women's professional tennis tour.

Nobody is denying it. Most trans people don't do a sex change genitalia procedure. The thought is that their testes are shut down and they take estrogen but to me it's not enough to allow them to compete.
Just too big an advantage.
You know I'm an Ol' Dame so I remember the 60s and 70s quite well and was a sports afficionado, particularly the Olympics. Back then, the East German and Soviet "female" athletes that competed were so 'roided up that eventually the Olympics Committee required cheek swabs to determine XX or XY chromosomes for all persons entered in female Olympic sports.
Yet somehow we have ended back here again.
Hope you and your SO are doing well, BTW.
I hope you're doing well also! Come it of the winter storm ok? We are fine in LA, still not a lot open but I go on a lot of hikes with Rodger (my dog) and the weather is beautiful. Still hate it here but we have fun.
I remember there was an SNL skit about that! How manly the women were! I also remember in the Beijing olympics the Chinese female swimmers were labeled as being genetic men. Lol
Didn't Britney griner never go to the olympics because of genetic testing?
Anyways, it's shocking to me that this isn't common sense.

This is one surefire way to make the American public REALLY despise trans people.

Put a poison pill in legislative bills.
All NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL teams have to have a woman on the team.
Watch the trans show up in droves leaving these big money maker leagues to have to take a stand.

With protest being so popular, why aren't women and girls walking in those contests. Start the race, come out of your blocks and walk the 100 or 200 meters in a show of solidarity of women.
That seems like it would get attention having 6 girls walk across the finish line holding hands while the two boys who raced for 1st place look on.

They keep them small* and no hips, no breasts.NormanAg said:Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about that.Quote:

*I was a gymnast and loved it. Then I had a growth spurt when I was 12 (also the onset of menses) and my legs became longer than my torso. 34 inch inseam. Try doing a hip circle swing on the uneven parallel bars when your legs are that much longer. I became a parabola overnight, flew right off of the bars.
Meh it is better to be tall.

While I have teenage daughters and believe 100% that boys should not be competing in amateur girls sports, I find myself just not really caring anymore. Here's why. The brainless suburban moms - with daughters - put us in this spot. Suburban women got us into the acceptance of mental illness of transgender. Way to go ladies! You got exactly what you voted for. Elections have consequences. Remember? You were warned. And I just don't care anymore if sports in slow-motion (girls sports) is further compromised and fully de-legitimized. Maybe we can just shut it down altogether. This is what you voted for. Because, you know, the Orange man was a meanie, and dared tell the truth on this and other matters.
Look at that picture and know that probably every voter in that scene supported, and will stupidly continue to support, their leftist/Marxist politicians. Just know that Marxism and leftist radicalism eventually devours everyone. You were warned. And many thoughtful conservatives, who you demonized for seeing absolutes in the world, will now not come to your aid. It's just not worth it. Especially in privileged Connecticut that has voted overwhelmingly for the leftists for more than 30 years. Enjoy!

Probably means women's' scholarships will be awarded to trans-atheletes, but still labeled as women's scholarships for Title IXOldArmyBrent said:
So how does Title IX work now? If women and men are competing together, does that mean fewer scholarships for women and no one cares now? Maybe the men's team can be called a women's team because they give one female a scholarship?

Well, if the abomination known as "The Equality Act" passes the Senate (already passed in the House) then Title IX is effectively nullified, in my assessment. If that were to happen (50/50 it will) the current SCOTUS could very easily hold the girls' suit in Connecticut as moot and refuse to hear it.taxpreparer said:Probably means women's' scholarships will be awarded to trans-atheletes, but still labeled as women's scholarships for Title IXOldArmyBrent said:

For the longest time we had the US National Soccer Team and the US Women's National Soccer Team.
FIFA rules never mention gender for national team membership and allow women to compete on the national teams. To date, no woman, in any country, has ever qualified for their national team.
US Soccer couldn't let this narrative out so they actually changed the name of the US National Soccer Team to the Men's US National Soccer Team even though women are still permitted to participate.

As good as they are, the US WNT couldn't beat a bad D2 men's college team, maybe not even the aTm club team or a good HS team. Though they could beat my 40+ beer league team.
I don't understand what is going on in our country letter boys compete with girls in athletic events at the HS leve, actual competitive events. I get co-ed youth soccer and flag football for 8-10 year olds, that is fine.
I am sick of the trans agenda. I don't care what you identify as, that is fine, whatever makes you happy. But you are NOT a trans female, you are a male choosing to dress and act like a girl, but you are a male, period. Just own it. The very fact they demand to be recognized as something they are not and treated as something they are not show they have mental health issues. Just be yourself, whatever yourself is, but don't expect the rest of us to bend a knee and be beholden to your whims and fancies. You want to be respected, show some respect for yourself and accept that you are going to be treated and looked at very differently because of your lifestyle choices. But I don't care, do what you want, but I am still calling you a boy / man.
