We’re in NY as well (Albany area). I had a number of friends go down similar paths as my brother, some have recovered others didn’t make it. This experience allowed me to see the path my brother was headed down.

It is an unbelievably hard thing to go through. One of the hardest parts was convincing my parents that he…

I LOVE living by myself. I come from a big family, had to live in dorms throughout college, ect., and am now relishing having ALL THE SPACE to myself. Do the laundry and then leave it in the dryer? Sure! Eat nothing but take-out for a week? Sure! Sleep in the guest room because I am too lazy to move the junk off my…

As others have mentioned throughout the comments, we don’t create divisions of sports based on stride, wingspan, height, etc., we segregate them based on sex. Gender is a nebulous social construct, and as you are obviously aware, even biological sex is not always so neatly binary. I’m on the side of “fuck it, let her…

Dude, she is NOT three times more than a normal woman. That’s what she was from 2011 to 2015 when she was taking TESTOSTERONE-INHIBITING MEDICATION. She is no longer required to take that medication, and all reliable reports (and performance levels) indicate that she has male-level testosterone, consistent with the…

All elite athletes are genetic anomalies, but this is the only one being singled out

don’t get in the way of a jezzie’s outrage. identity politics is all some of them have.

Shhh. You’re acknowledging complexity and the possibility that the best solutions may be frustratingly imperfect. You’re ruining a perfectly good Hot Take!

Caster Semenya is not XX. She has a Y chromosome and undescended testicles that are pumping out testosterone. That’s the whole fucking point of the debate, yet it appears nowhere in this article.

This is a complicated and fraught topic, one that deserves a more thoughtful take than the one offered by Ms. Moskovitz. This is not about some cruel effort by men to define and control women’s bodies, as she glibly asserts. It’s about trying to create an environment where women have a chance to compete and succeed,…

If we are going to hold two separate events for men and women, then we have to have some distinct dividing line between who is “a man” and who is “a woman.” It may not be fair to everyone, but you do have to draw a line somewhere.

Already on the books. Wait and see, like I do. Or just forget about it. Like I will really do.

This issue has nothing to do with the the trailer. AT ALL. The trailer is just a scapegoat for other issues at play here.

100% Agree. Even without an HOA, you trust that your neighbors will be conscientious. To everyone saying his neighbors should move, imagine trying to sell the house with a massive trailer like that parked next door. Even as a car guy, my first thought isn’t going to be “awesome, I’ll get along with this neighbor.”…

Yeah, no.

Fish Paste!

Oh. That’s okay then. I’m sure everyone who hears it will certainly not interpret it as being about violence against women. Just like when I say “I’m going to kill your puppy!” to people with puppies, they should just know that I’m really just talking about eating hash brownies.

Yeah. It’s one thing to argue that wearing the hijab is a choice that should be respected, and another to simultaneously hold the view that women should not come into physical contact with men even to shake hands while also believing that women need a male chaperone to go out in the world. I don’t see any way to…

It’s a thing with more conservative ones. Like Orthodox Jews often try to book seats in a block on airplanes so as not to sit next to a woman. So you need to have enough people flying to fill the row.

shake hands with male referees and travel without a male guardian
