“To say that an XY human can’t compete in the women’s category of professional sports unless they lower their testosterone below 5 nmol/L — a figure that is still 7.5 times the value of the average woman competing at the 2011 and 2013 track and field World Championships and a figure that not a single healthy woman born…

There are better athletes to get behind when it comes to this, Queen Serena for one. Is there an overarching issue with the policing of non-european women’s bodies. Absolutely! Is that that case here? The facts of the matter don’t appear to bear that out.
No, she isn’t. She’s intersex.
This ruling deals specifically with 46 XY DSD. I don’t think they’ve ever made her testing public. But, this is how she is affected by the ruling which implies that this is her genetic makeup. She identifies as female and that is to be respected. However, she is not a genetic female under the current rules. (She would…

Intersex. Not, Intersexed...
Sorry, “Intersex.” I knew that looked odd. She’s obviously not past tense. That said, is there any debate about this? I though this was being taken as fact.
She is intersexed. Is this up for debate somewhere?
She is intersexed. That makes her, clinically, not entirely female. If she wants to compete in a women’s division she needs to conform to a women’s hormonal standard. Yes is it discriminatory, and sexist. But, discriminatory and sexist are the very nature of men’s and women’s divisions for sporting events.
This. Plus the next one is on the other side of Silverthorne...
Private sector unionism grows by talking in terms of equitable compensation. Top execs need to be brought back below 50x average compensation. (Maybe that isn’t the right multiplier, but it can’t be over 300x, like it is currently.) Better yet, key them off of the lowest paid jobs, versus the average. You’ll notice I…
I really do want to believe. But, I just see a reflection transiting the CCD as the lens follows the plane. Could also have been an out of focus insect/bird, much closer to the lens.
If it is moving directly toward, or away, from you at sufficient distance. It will appear to stand still. That said, I’m all for first contact. Meepzorp/Buttigieg 2020!
Lucky brand has a few that work well for more muscular legs. Has a good bit of stretch also. Duluth is another good brand. Levi’s 569 used to be my goto, but they changed the cut through the upper leg about 5-6 years ago and now I find them unwearable.
They’ve created a lot of underlying tension between she and Jon/Aegon. It’s clear they would not rule the same way. I’m interested to see if Jon/Aegon even tells her who he really is prior to the big show down. There is no way she yields to him, and he likely knows it. Telling her only creates conflict when/where they…
Brav-fucking-o
Asking people with that level of wealth and privilege to truly examine its effect is very nearly a fools errand. Most have never known anything different. It is quite literally part of the fabric of their existence. (For the same reasons white privilege is hard for most of those who have benefited from it to…
