Do they not teach freedom of speech anymore in school? Is that why you think its wrong that he wont sign on? Its a measure to restrict speech. It should be shot down in America.

I don’t understand this. Who are we trying to protect from seeing this stuff? It isn’t like one person can post a video and immediately everyone else sees it. It is most likely limited to someone’s group of friends who then share it. If you don’t want to see the stupid shit people post, then ignore them.

I hate to say it, but people do have a first amendment right to say/think horrible things... Limiting free speech in any way does open the door for some potential draconian policies in the future

Everybody brings up their stock performance like they have some kind of argument.  Just swap the heads, intake, carb, and you’re back in business.

Look at that photo with those huge plumes of.... water vapor.

I liked that, thanks for sharing.

Nuclear is actually the safest form of power generation. Your pearl clutching about Fermi 1 and other plants is just that, pearl clutching.

Can we just get rid of gender divisions in competition? Let everyone compete against each other in all sports regardless of what you are or were born as. As long as you are a humon athlete is that not what matters? Tell me why I’m a moron, because this is the best solution I’ve come up with.

If the distinction between male and female has no real bearing on athletic performance, then why bother making it? Instead of having separate male and female sports, why not consolidate them all into one? With rare exception, school administrators would love the cost savings. It’s a win for everyone. Why not do it?

Thanks for explaining to me why 2+2=5.  Anyone who disagrees with your viewpoint is clearly a dangerous bigot.  Feeling icky clearly supersedes facts, custom, and common sense as a determining factor in addressing this complex issue.

if women being “weak and small and not competitive” (when elite women are compared to elite men (no best woman vs worst male arguments plz))was only a social narrative and not real then we should be able to have co ed sports across the board, then trans ppl would be a non issue. unfortunately it seems that biological…

The mental calisthenics required to write - and believe - this article are quite impressive.  Proof that human beings can rationalize nearly any argument, no matter how absurd.

“What does gender really have to do with strength?”

BECAUSE HIS GENETIC ADVANTAGES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NATURE OF THE COMPETITION CATEGORY ITSELF OH MY GOD THE MICHAEL PHELPS ANALOGY IS SO FREAKING STUPID AND WRONG AND I AM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE GIVING IT LIKE THEY ARE HIGH-MINDED WHEN IT IS THE LOWEST OF THE LOW-BROW ANALOGY THAT DOES NOT ACTUALLY WORK AT ALL.

She adds that “a woman can be a woman and still not be permitted to participate in women’s sports.”

She has XY chromosomes according to Hogshead-Makar. This is an INCREDIBLY important detail that all the Deadspin writers intentionally omit. That, along with the highly elevated T levels should pretty much end the debate.

It just boggles me that anyone would even consider getting their news from a site whose whole shtick is that anyone can publish anything.  Facebook is for viewing pictures of your cousin’s kids and marveling at how they grow up so fast - nothing more.

Without that information making such statements seems like just guessing then. 

This is why I have an issue with these reports. I don’t doubt that humans need to - quite literally - clean up their act. But these studies are based on A LOT of assumptions, given we have no actual data for a lot of our history. Once again - I’m not saying everything is fine, but I think we should probably take these…
