Really that’s all you’ve got? Someone already posted a related citation, you can go find the rest yourself.

The reality of the situation is that there is clear scientific evidence that trans women have a competitive advantage far beyond the normal distribution of the advantages some biological women have.

Thank you, I only have so wide a bandwidth about things for which to feel bad about, and there are simply so many from which to choose as of late. 

Thank you, your insight and take is far more important to me than Halsey’s. Your final line is what I walked away with on all of this, but I wasn’t sure that as a cis straight male I wasn’t truly understanding the hassle she had. She/they seems like...alot...to deal with. Congrats on the baby, maybe that should be of

Thank you for this perspective. I was feeling the same way about this, that it’s a bit out of line to calling it misgendering. As you said, if an individual says they’re comfortable with feminine pronouns, why be upset when referred to as such? And if they aren’t comfortable with feminine pronouns, then just use the

After decades of tooling on the south for sounding illiterate, while referring to everyone as you guys and dude for my entire life (I know) I’ve started using y’all and folks a lot.


If you tell me “I’m comfortable with ‘she’ or ‘they’” that tells me I’m allowed to call you either. If you want me to alternate, that’s fine, but you have to clarify. I don’t see how they disrespected her wishes by calling her something she claims she is comfortable with. That’s not misgendering. 

I’m a little perplexed as to exactly what Halsey wants done here—whether it’s “shey” or “she slash they” or “she they”. It would be asinine to seriously suggest that Halsey should put out a style guide or FAQ explaining this preferred pronouns issue, but, based on the confusion among the press, and throughout the

Step 1: Issue absurdly confusing edicts about what you want to be called.

Agreed that it’s nice, but I’m not sure why not doing so is considered “deliberate disrespect” on par with outright misgendering someone, especially when they said they were “fine with either pronouns.”

This is confusing. Halsey wants both pronouns at the same time? The backslash typically indicates “or” so if it’s she/they (ie she or they), what’s the issue?

It’s also unfair that people with long legs and lean builds win so many distance running events. Short people don’t even have a chance!

There are many, many cis women in this world who naturally have higher levels of testosterone. Are they to take testosterone suppressants because this is an “unfair advantage”? Are we to monitor the levels of every athlete’s testosterone so they’re equal across the board? I assume the answer is “no we are not”,

Yeah my reaction to Mr. Tulsi Gabbard after clicking the link was “Hm. OK” than “HubbaHubba!” He’s someone you’d be pleasantly surprised to paired up with on a blind date but not someone you’d get hot and bothered about later on looks alone.

Hot take: husband is attractive but not “incredibly hot.” 

As more and more trans kids receive medical intervention this should be a less of an issue. But the same people worried about sports (SPORTS! as if someone’s high school track team is more important than another kid’s very existence) are against helping kids transition pre puberty. Like the bathroom “debate” it’s

Because advocating that trans people are treated like human beings is playing “identity politics”

Now we can add unapologetic transphobe to the cons column, her pivot to perfect politician for Joe Rogan fans now complete.

Too classy. As soon as the new Congress is sworn in and Tulsi becomes a former Congresswoman, she’s headed to either OAN, Newsmax TV or — most likely because they’ll pay more for her — RT (Russian propaganda TV).

And that’s how you get hired by foxnews.
