Cosign. These breathless, one-sided objections to a ruling by a governing body are childish and anti-science. Might as well be climate change deniers or anti-vaxxers.

But they are comparing her to other female athletes, aren’t they? Not the average population. I haven’t read enough about this to form an opinion. I am just asking questions.

“testosterone can confer a slight edge to women athletes”

The comments sections noted this on YouTube: the producers didn’t film this right. If you google the Korean music shows of this like Inkigayo, they look way better. 

They all look great.  The "cis" pun being put on trans woman contestant Gia feels...not great?

I feel like Asians having the highest average earnings is from a smaller sample size being skewed by Emma Stone.

Honestly, I thought that one was the least scary - it was so caught up in flowery language that it obscured anything scary in the story.

As you sleep-train your toddlers, make having closed bedroom doors a huge part of that. 

What do you really expect though? Given her privilege, she isn’t just advocating but actually doing something good. Yeah, she’s a wealthy white woman. She isn’t radical whatsoever. Is she really worth your saltiness though? There a limit to the stories you can write and this is how you spent your time? See how…

She’s one of the most unfairly criticized, and mistreated athletes in her profession. What you call “worship” others call balancing the scale to the poor treatment she often receives

(I know that video should be shot horizontally, but if you’re trying to be covert about it, vertical is the way to go.)

Just because you’re not personally sold on it doesn’t mean it’s not true. The photographers used in prestige fashion pubs, like Vogue, have doors opened to them within their industry. If they are blessed by Vogue, it’s easier for them to secure ad campaigns, etc. And, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Vogue’s…

Because men would dominate. Note that even Semenya’s times pale in comparison to the top men’s. So you can integrate, but then don’t complain when the women and trans women/men get left out.

Semenya has functioning testicles and unless you do as well your testosterone level is nowhere near the upper limit

Yes, but swimming doesn’t have different groupings based on arm span, toe webbing, lung capacity, etc. It does, however, have different groupings based on whether a person is a man or a woman (however that is laid out). That in mind, it is important to have a precise point of distinction between the two, in much the…

But if we are going to maintain two separate classes for events, popularly understood as men’s and women’s, I would say that distinguishing primarily on the basis of an eminently reasonable testosterone standard is probably the most fair method to the entire field of athletes and not simply some means to shirk a…

That goes in the same poor analogy bin as “Let’s go a step further and let people marry animals”. Taking your argument to a real conclusion would mean men and women compete together since it is just “natural physical attributes” that differ in the sexes.

Yeah, this is a difficult situation and I really wish Jez and the commentators here would stop pretending like it’s a clear-cut easy case of right vs. wrong. That’s not what this is. 

Just need to point out that, once again, white dude killing dozens of innocent people, but the “Muslim Ban” is what’s going to keep us all safe.
