This and the Michael Phelp’s examples are poor comparisons at best.

She has male chromosomes. That’s the issue that this article is ignoring. 

To join the choir: Deadspin’s refusal to acknowledge the complexity here is frustrating and undermines your credibility and good work elsewhere. Whether you want to draw the line at XX versus XY, or do a clustering analysis of testosterone levels (and performance); either way there is a clear basis to exclude…

Why is it so difficult for people to understand that the CAS ruling ONLY APPLIES to those with 46 XY DSD. If Caster falls under this ruling, which it is apparent she does, we need to look at what 46 XY DSD means SCIENTIFICALLY. All forms of 46 XY DSD have internal testes. If she falls into this category SCIENCE has…

How about the question of whether her chromosomes are XX chromosomes or XY? 

Semenya is a woman who has higher levels of testosterone than most women, like Michael Phelps has longer arms than most men.

I feel the same. All people are born with arms, not all people are born with internal testes that affect their hormones in such a way.

God save us from President Pence.

Trump won with fewer votes than Romney and McCain lost with. Trump didn’t do anything special, he didn’t bring out more people than usual, he didn’t ignite some widespread political fire that burned gloriously into the night as the country watched in astonishment. He performed like any other Republican in recent times…

No one told pollsters or newspeople they were voting Trump because to do so was to be deemed a racist.
The culture had decided this was the case.

Nope. Stop blaming Gary Johnson or anyone other than the Democratic Party, who couldn’t beat this complete buffoon. Pointing the finger outward isn’t going to help anything. The Democratic Party is beyond worthless and needs a top-down makeover.

Fuck you Ellie for using your platform to undermine the progressives populist movement leaving only an autocratic oppressive populist movement for people disenfranchised by rich establishment politicians working for rich people on the backs of the rest of us. Fuck you for ridiculing a good man who wanted to actually…

Fuck Gary Johnson? Fuck you.

“It can be hard to put your finger on exactly what you fear most about the rise of Donald Trump: the racism? The sexism? The xenophobia? The profoundly dangerous lack of judgment?”

Every time I come here to say white women are racist too, people come in droves to shit on me. Today, you literally have proof that white women voted for trump in droves but here you are, blaming Gary fuckin Johnson.

Figuratively speaking. I mean the Democratic establishment taking poor and working class votes for granted.

this is not a paragraph that will help.

You are right and I don’t understand that this is even an argument, at all. But this whole disparage between the media and the somewhat educated versus the people voting from their underbelly have no clue how to reach each other. The same thing is happening in Europe. The same thing happened when Brexit happened.

Try harder. Your candidate that you all were so smug about since Day 1 lost to a sexist, racist, xenophobic, rapist, orange clown who has no actually policy ideas other than the fact that they’ll be BIG LEAGUE and TREMENDOUS.
