So has CNN hired him yet?

I was taking issue with your statement of “wishing hard enough.” Even if that weren’t offensive to trans people, which it is, Semenya isn’t trans. She was presumed female at birth and has lived her life as such ever since.

Right now I'm not commenting on the fairness of it to either her or other woman athletes. Just

If the assumptions about her genetic condition are true, that she is XY with a mutation that prevented her from developing externally differentiating physical traits, this isn’t a case of “wishing hard enough.” From the time she was born, she was presumed to be female because of what her genitals look like. She was

The Daily Telegraph is literally the only source of that info and every where else just cites that article. And that article only cites anonymous sources. It is FAR from definitive proof.

But it's not non-natural levels if they're naturally occurring, though.

Because on average, men are physically stronger, faster etc. The champion male athlete will almost definitely beat the champion female athlete at whatever the sport is. But that doesn't mean that variation of hormone levels etc within genders should disqualify people from competing. If I'm the tallest woman in

Her naturally producing testosterone is no different that Michael Phelps having a body that naturally makes him a faster swimmer - normally a man's arm span is equivalent to his height, but Phelp's arm span is 3 inches longer than his height. It's unfair to all the other male swimmers whose arm spans are average!

“We’re a lot more preoccupied with inclusiveness and gender than those that came before us.”

Well... yeah... we are. That kinda goes without saying.

My two friends who are playing it are completely addicted.

Trouble is, the never bring it up in a valuable way or appropriate context. It’s always to derail and dismiss. It’s always with the implication that feminists don’t care about male victims.

Yeah, he’s a racist misogynistic douchebag who harasses women online and then invites them to appear on his podcast.


Sooo Amy Schumer needs to get of that guy post haste. Wtf.

They have another ad that's a veteran with a prosthetic leg. I have no idea what any of this has to do with underwear.

I'm british and I also find it odd... except I've noticed in my family at least that while we're all very affectionate with pet names and such, we are very bad at talking about and demonstrating deep feelings.

Yup, it’s like a second puberty type thing... my hips and boobs both got a lot more curvaceous sometime in the past couple years. At first I thought it was ‘cause of weight gain, but I’ve gone back to intense work outs and good eating habits but the T&A have stuck around.

Re: number 2, that shit happens all the time and even the US does it. I remember a recent winter Olympics were some Canadian ice skater had her US citizenship fast tracked so she could compete. As an immigrant who is still waiting on citizenship, that shit pissed me off.

Ugh I'd have been so furious if someone stole my moment like that. I'm getting a medal, dude, can you propose later? Wtf.

Absolutely not just you.

Yeah, she comes off really catty here. I'd've thought her weigh in would be "hey guys, respect people's spirituality and if you're after a toy or collectible there's plenty of fantastic licensed and fan made merchandise available."

On the flip side, I’m the kind of person that will always offer to take the photo for you if I see you trying to take a selfie/group selfie because I worked at Disney World and the phrase “would you like me to take that for you?” is probably the last thing I’ll say before I die... and I’ve been baffled/amazed by how
