Zoe likes to play dress up... except this time she’s not playing a fictitious sci-fi space alien. Disappointed she’s unable to grasp that

Right? Someone else pointed out that her make-up as Gamora was more natural looking. If you are going to be colorist and disregard her family's wishes at least find someone that can do natural looking makeup...

Jesus fucking christ use the goddamn enter key once in a while. Paragraphs are your friend!

I’m not even reading what you’re writing at this point.

I don’t care. We’ve nothing to discuss. Be well.

Coming out of a more traditional martial arts context—which, to be fair, did not include full contact sparring—it always seemed like the physical disparity across genders was not that great. For people who were the roughly the same size, although if someone was larger, reach and leverage started to become an issue.

Nope. My point is that sports aren’t fair by virtue of some athletes being physically superior to their competition. This is, actually, the point of a game: “May the best man win”. You create a set of rules that generates a level playing field where each team abides by the same regulations, and then pit them against…

I don’t really see how you could judge that men are “better athletes” in gymnastics given how different men’s and women’s gymnastics tend to be. They don’t even compete in the same events, aside from floor routines, but the styles and requirements are so different as to render them different sports.

I do think it’s worth noting that women’s sports in the US had very small participation rates until title IX passed in 1972, and to this day, continue to have less participants than men’s sports. You have to remember that the thing driving the improvement in things like running times is good competition, and women’s…

It’s literally Rousey’s job to get punched in the head. She’s done a lot of training and has, without a doubt, been punched in the head before by really jacked cis men multiple times.

Serious question: is this not a good argument for full gender integration of all sports then? Other than the gross societal backlash, and the horrible optics—this looks like an argument for men and women of similar weights (or metric that accounts for weight and BF% together) to be allowed to fight one another in the…

I think we can both agree that not every transgender athlete is going to have that kind of obvious strength and size discrepancy between herself and the other players. There was an article on Jez a year or two back about a transwoman who was prevented from competing in the Crossfit games. In no way could you look at…

There’s way more going on under the hood here than concerns about advantages. WAY more...

I dunno when that point is going to be though, most cis people are more than content to throw trans women under the bus for the sake of protecting the ‘real wimminz.’

They may have bigger bones but those bones can be much weaker. Studies find that if they follow the hormone replacement religiously and dont mess it up then the bones should be fine but if they fuck up then there will be a bone density loss. Also here is 1 study done with slightly different results: http://www.ncbi.nlm…

It seems very tricky to me. If the athlete does have physical advantages from before they transitioned, it doesn’t seem fair to their opponents; but it’s also not fair to the athlete herself to have her gender identity disrespected. It would really suck to be an athlete who essentially doesn’t have anyone to compete…

May or may not entail. Everyone’s body is different.

The issue of trans women in sports is going to be a defining one. Because, at some point, we’re going to need to address where the line is and why we’ve delineated men’s and women’s sports.

Well he just ruined his two nice dicks for me with that BS cervix story. Why do so many men think that's hot? Kinks and all, getting your cervix bruised by sex hurts (not so bad during for me, but after it's not fun). Prolapse is painful and horrible, I assume, and not something anyone should go through and not…

He's claiming that he ripped a woman's cervix from her body and that her response to that was to debate him?? This represents a deep failure of imagination on his part.
