That person is saying some kinda shitty transphobic stuff, you’re better off dismissing them than responding and bringing them out of the greys.

Testosterone creates the advantage, not puberty. After a sufficient amount of time without T in their system, trans women do not have an advantage.

There have been no studies that show that long-term exposure to male-normal testosterone levels leads to permanent advantage. Most studies show that any advantage in terms of muscle mass disappears after a year, and the studies on athletic advantage that run longer than that have shown that after two or three years…

a transitioned transgender woman will have less free testosterone than cisgender women... that’s what hormone blockers and orchiectomies are for...

Capability brackets like you suggest would maybe make the most sense but because you’re talking about an international body, that sort of consensus would never be reached, at least not for a while. It might take a country - and a leading country with a big presence at the Olympics - introducing those types of…

As an aside, a trans woman who is on hormone therapy is almost certainly on a testosterone blocker, and thus her testosterone levels are probably gonna be lower than most cis women’s. Testosterone is not permanent.

There isn’t an easy answer to this question, no matter how much trans activists push for full inclusion in women’s sports. What about trans men? Where are they supposed to compete? They can’t possibly compete with cismen, and couldn’t fairly compete with ciswomen.

The current women’s record in the 100 meter is the same as the men’s record from 1929. Given that women’s sports were basically non existent at the high school and college level until maybe 50 years ago, and are still significantly underfunded and under-cultivated, that’s kind of remarkable. Less than half as many…

If they really wanted fair competition they wouldn’t be pitting athletes who have million dollar sponsorship deals and top tier coaches who’ve been able to train full time since they were 11 in world class sports facilities up against part time amateur athletes from third world countries. The idea that anything about…

Do you think that something about being American gives an athlete inherent advantage and that that explains the US’s disproportionate dominance in the medals race at the Olympics? Or that being American makes an athlete inherently better at basketball and worse at soccer and that explains the US’s performance in those…

Good.

Dawson wasn’t just the awful choice in a question of him or Pacey.

This is a weird, even-more-perverted flip side to the idea of American Exceptionalism. Like, no, [bad thing] cannot possibly be bad, because it’s American, and American means Good! Obviously the American way must be superior, whatever it is, now stop bothering me!

Megan Thee Stallion as a chaotic yet sexy Hellraiser[.]

No Megan Thee Stallion as Pinhead? She wins everything; this three slide slideshow is stupid.

With a happy accident or two along the way!

“remain one of the only countries in the world with no form of national paid leave.”

I find surfers’ attitude especially grating because their hobby takes place in the OCEAN, which is A) no one’s property and B) expansive as fuck. There will be another wave, Chad.
