go fuck yourself, you bigot halfwit.

none of these writers are responsible for the site’s most infamous work anyway

Sure but 1) My comment was one of the first in this article, at least at the time that I was writing it, so there were no previous comments, and 2) I’m not asking about what the actual rules are, I’m asking what they *should be* in ethical terms, given the author’s position that the “fairness argument” is unethical.

Suppose I am a transgender woman who is fully biologically male (by “fully biologically male” I mean “indistinguishable hormonally and anatomically from other males” — medically unambiguously male). My social circle treats me as female, I self-identify as female, and I use a female name.

“I like people who didn’t get tripped”

YEAH, WOOOO HOOOO, FUCK THAT GUY MICHAEL PHELPS AND ALL OF HIS GENDER, AM I RITE???? JEZEBEL FTW!!!!!

I think it’s a mistake to treat this as an either-or, i.e. either you embrace racism or you embrace political correctness. It can be true that Trump openly panders to bigots *while at the same time being true* that a segment of our culture is extremely trigger happy in labeling people as bigots of one sort or another,…

She’s dominant in her league, so much so that if any woman had the capability to succeed in men’s it would probably be her. So I wonder if she would be able to compete of if the difference in physical capability is just too…

My conclusion from this article is that there apparently is no non-racist way to favorably compare a white player to a black player. Simmons seems to go to great lengths to acknowledge the potential for his views to be misinterpreted and does a lot of throat-clearing to make sure the reader knows that he’s comparing…

I AM OFFENDED TOO. O-FFENDED!

Towards what?

Yes, it’s a shame these poor poor girls are being compelled against their will* to compete in beauty competitions. I hope President Bernie Sanders makes this practice illegal.

Stunning and Brave. Stunning and Brave.

Of course that’s not to say that they shouldn’t beat those teams when given the opportunity, but to me the better measure of determining the champion…
