Transgenderism isn’t real and it’s not backed by any science. Dysphoria, however, is a very real mental issue that exists in many forms.

What is happening now: Two extreme groups are shouting down any centrist position.
sexual violence tends to increase following natural disasters for a variety of reasons: increased stress and feelings of powerlessness due to bereavement, loss of property and loss of livelihood, mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder, the scarcity of basic provisions, destruction of…
I think it’s important to acknowledge, though, that her decision about preventative care was made in the context of her being 76 years old. It seems ludicrous to her to continue with mammograms at her age, based on the cost benefit analysis of the likelihood of cancer and the hard truths about treatment. I didn’t see…
Even if these men had girlfriends, they would still be terrible because they don’t see women as humans with their own agency. They don’t even want girlfriends. They want slaves with no opinions or thoughts of their own.
So, filling the park with humans to kill and rape in OG Westworld is fine but those ethnically same people killing and raping in Shogun world would be racist?
The author is the only one claiming it is specifically targeted at 1 person

Ross Tucker’s video on the subject brings articulate insights on why this ruling does look anti-Semenya, but also why a women’s category in sports needs to be defended.
It’s ironic that this article fits so well into the Trump era, all the while it complains about supposed racism. It’s the typical “I pick those parts of science that I like and act as if the rest is a hoax” we’ve come to get used to from this era and if anything, caters to the alt-right’s outdated black-and-white sex…
God the slope is slippery with this utter BS.
If we want to have a divison of sports for “females” (however you want to call it: women’s, girl’s, lady’s, etc); then there needs to be an agreed upon “barrier of entry” into that division.
Female competitors (based on other articles I have read on the topic) want a T limit, and it’s pretty much universal. They view what Caster (and a select few others) is doing as unfair. My guess as to why there isn’t much input shown in this article from a female perspective (especially the female athlete’s…
That’s the crux of the question. There simply is no easy answer. I am of the opinion that a line must be drawn. If we are to compete in men’s and women’s sports, then there must be a line to separate them. I understand not everyone will be happy with that conclusion, but it is impossible to please everyone.
Deadspin is showing a gross lack of understanding of human anatomy and physiology and a strong adherence of sticking to presumed sides. Sorry, but the “liberal” side of this argument is wrong and destroys women’s and girls athletics. Sacrificing the many for the few is akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Everything about this article - including its headline - is patently false.
I’ve participated in this debate a billion times, and no matter where the line is drawn, SOMEONE will be mad about where the line is placed. However, it is a very foundation of sport that the separation of the sexes mandates a line be drawn.…
This is a good thing.
This post doesn’t address the key point — who should decide who competes in women’s sports?
It’s really astonishing the lengths that this site will go to make sure they’re constantly adhering to the most orthodox viewpoints. Are there people who actually enjoy content like this? It doesn’t even attempt to look at the issue from anywhere other than a predetermined position.
I think if you are willing to approach this subject honestly, it should be obvious that a line must be drawn somewhere. If not, the logic eventually leads to acceptance of a single “open” division between the sexes, effectively extinguishing women’s athletics.
Yeah, OR it’s to try and keep people with the physiology of men from competing against women.
