Aren’t there massive disparities in performance between men and women (as in middling male athletes out-performing the best women in the world) in most gender-segregated sports? I’d assume people who attribute the difference primarily to testosterone would tend to be more inclusive, given that testosterone levels are…

The issue of trans women competing in women’s sports desperately needs some real discussion. Here is trans woman Gabrielle Ludwig with her basketball team:

Your first sentence should read: “When Bruce Jenner BLACKMAILED ESPN/ABC and disgraced Arthur Ashe…

do we want a future in which all the best female atheletes are trans women?

Jezebel desperately needs science writers, or at least science-literate writers.

There isn’t compelling medical evidence that trans women lose their physical advantages over cis women:

Football is, in a way, still worse. Pro fighters fight maybe 3-4 times a year, compared to the dozens and dozens of matches per year a football players does in a single season.

The “compelling medical evidence” you cite is the opinion of two doctors who perform gender reassignment surgeries — they don’t cite any studies on the actual issue, or indicate that they’ve done any specific research on the implications of gender reassignment for sports, and make casual statements like “she would prob…

“Maybe she doesn’t want to fight some of those fighters that are not gonna put on a dress, like Ediane Gomes. “

Those spots are dermatosis papulosa nigra. They’re a common benign skin condition in older black men. Morgan Freeman has them. Danny Glover has them. Nelson Mandela had them. They are not something that anyone needs to be ashamed of. Bill Cosby is a despicable piece of shit, but his skin is fine. His behaviour is not.…

Yeah, I don’t blame her for that. I blame her for other things that she actually did somewhat wrong, and I would prefer Sanders.
But anyone blaming her for covering up her husband’s sexual misconduct is being silly and focusing on the wrong thing.

YESSSS. Whenever I hear her name I imagine that SNL sketch.

Call me crazy, but isn’t calling Hillary Clinton someone who destroyed women’s stories a bit like the pot calling the kettle? Seeing as how Tripp was the one who outed Lewinsky and all...

some time in the mid-90s I fell out of my bunk bed and hit my head. My parents took me to the ER, and the doctors asked me various questions to determine my mental status. One of them was “Who’s in charge at the White House?” I deadpanned “Hillary” and had the whole ER laughing. I was seven or eight.

In the biopic, the role of Ms. Tripp will be played by John Goodman.

clinton is not the right person for president. i rather a bernie sanders. hillary covered up bill’s sexual misconduct.

I’ve made this point before. Jon helped create this monster in his own way. He has given Huckabee lots of time on his show to hype his horrid books and on the rare occasion, Jon would offer a slight challenge to Huckabee on some of his political stances. Kinda like the faux-buddy thing he does with Bill O’Reilly.

So we’re just going to pretend that Stewart hasn’t had Huckabee on his show multiple times in the past, doing totally softball, completely sychophantic interviews with him, helping Huckabee burnish his “cool Republican” image? Yeah, Jon, we get why you couldn’t say anything.

YOU HAVE COMMITTED A CARDINAL GAWKER SIN! YOU HAVE EXPRESSED MILD CRITICISM AGAINST ONE OF THE FOUR GREAT SAINTS OF GAWKER. STEWART, BEYONCE SWIFT AND THE FOURTH SPOT OCCUPIED BY WHATEVER WHITE WOMAN IS THE FLAVOR OF THE MOMENT OR JOHN OLIVER! REPENT SINNER!

I dunno, I would imagine that if one studies Women’s Studies, they would study sex work and the decriminalization issue. Not exactly out of the realm of possibilities.
