Sex is a binary. There is male and female. A small number of outliers like with intersex people doesn’t change that.

They understand. They are just think “validating” trans women as 100% female is more important than the reasons why we have female sporting categories in the first place. That’s why the science will never actually matter. Because the science is only ever used to tell female athletes to shut up and accept trans women…
While it’s pretty clear she didn’t transition for the purpose of sports, Hannah Mouncey was an international level handball player as a male. She would crush even the best female Australian Rules footballers. Female athletes at the highest level don’t care about schlubs transitioning and then trying to beat them. They…
The article obviously made a choice to feature only the voices of gop politicians to represent the opposition to trans women freely participating in female sports for a reason. An “if only bad people are against it, then it must be good” kind of argument.
“But, once you actually get the information, it turns out that the answer is, “If you take some reasonable measures, no.”
Yes. Male gop politicians don’t give a shit about female sporting competition and their sudden love of female sports is total bullshit. But there are actually people that are not shitty republican politicians who have a problem with allowing carte blanche trans women participation in female sports. Like female…
What does equity have to do with being allowed to participate in a specific category of sporting competition? Equity in sports means there be some sort of equality between the participants. We do that by sometimes preventing the use of certain types of equipment so no participant can have an unequal advantage not…
Have you ever seen a game of Australian Rules Football? Have you seen what Hannah Mouncey looks like? She is 6'2", 220 lbs. She could, not joking, potentially kill one of the other players with a hip and shoulder (a legal maneuver where you ram your hip and shoulder in to another player’s hip and shoulder area) or a…
“..and Clinton withdrew when she was mathematically eliminated.”
Arlington, TX (of course) is trying to introduce “public transportation without buses” by “partnering” with an on demand “shuttle” app.
“A right is innate, not forced”
Not surprising. Actually, I’m more surprised it took this long. Big franchisors were fucking furious at the Obama DOL attempt to reduce uncertainty (it’s weird how things are only “uncertain” when it might reduce the profitability of big business. Making the franchisors jointly liable would do just as much to reduce…
Money is so much more democratic! Because everyone has an equal amount of money so we have an equal say. Unlike votes. Where some people have billions of votes while others have none.
Yup. Working for one or two companies all the time isn’t being an “independent contractor”. It’s having one or two jobs for one or two employers.
“And you’re essentially saying that businesses that can’t pay what you say is a living wage should not exist.”
If there weren’t people working for them as full time they wouldn’t have enough drivers to service the number of riders they need at the prices people want to pay. That’s why both companies offer programs to get prospective drivers in to a car with the loan (supposedly) paid by driving. And why both companies have…
There is so much proof large scale regulation decreases costs. See: every other developed country and the public programs here in the US (Medicare, Medicaid, etc.)
The worst part is if anyone in the “chain” of treatment does not have an agreement with your insurance company, you are fucked. And they either can’t or won’t tell you if it’s even possible some provider who sees you/does something for you will not be covered by your insurance. Even if the facility and everyone who…
That was basically Steve Bannon’s vision for the gop. Socially conservative and fiscally “liberal”. Bannon understood, the way it’s done with European right wing parties, people love “free stuff”. They just don’t want the “undeserving” (however they choose to define the term) getting any of the good peoples’ stuff.
