    Any update on the hissy Mrs Howell?

  • "women who don't identify as women" tells me a lot about your bias against trans people in general.

    If Veronica Ivy chose to testosterone out and play as a man the profits would be considerably higher, even at a lower rank.

    Most trans women who play in women's sports do so because it's the only way they can play without denying their essential identity.

    Women's sports are important. Women are important. Trans women are women.

  • You're going to say it's because of physical advantage? Which has been shown to be negligible in trans women who have been on hormones for a length of time, when compared to the variations in physical attributes already present among cis female people (and not even taking into account intersex people who were "corrected " to female at birth). And which doesn't even apply in a number of sports. For instance in shooting and biathlon events being female can be an advantage (at least by averages, there again individuals differ widely within the sexes) so a trans man could theoretically dominate if the hormones don't change that too much. Or maybe we're talking about how compliance to societal standards has always been more strictly enforced for women, even in the definition of being a woman, and how they're perceived as needing protection and separation but/therefore not compensation for their athletic performance.

    Try thinking about this: a trans woman who competes as a woman has little to gain because women's sports aren't sufficiently appreciated. If she were willing to deny her identity and compete in men's tourneys she would be up against bigger stronger men, as would any man of her build, and rank lower, but she'd probably have better pay and equipment and facilities regardless. She'd also still probably get similar abuse from transhaters, because she's a target for their misogyny that gets them in less trouble than beating up on "real" women (although they likely do that too).

    Trans men are more able to "pass" in society because our expectations about the diverse appearance of men is so much greater. And if a trans man athlete competes and takes a spot from a less-athletic cis man, is society going to support his protest or say he's just a whining wimp? That's an attitude rooted in misogyny as well, by the way. Weak equals female equals unworthy.

  • Bearandstain!

  • In the US doctors don't even work for the government mostly. They work for an independent company whether it's a hospital or an insurance company or a clinic or a university or a research lab or whatever.

  • I agree with your points but I think you missed the one you replied to: as you said, the idiots are enraged over "men in women's sports" but their point was those same people don't say anything about "women in men's sports" because trans men go completely under their radar.

    In fact a group of bearded and burly trans men did a protest the other day by following the law in their state and using women's bathrooms. At one point they were confronted by police and had an uncomfortable conversation about what their genitals and DNA were. But they were not arrested because the law in that state says they must use the bathroom of their birth sex. Brought the stupidity of the law face to face with a lot of ignorant people.

  • Yes they were lucky none made it past her stomach. We think she found a whole package at once. There was one previous time I had seen one in her poop, it had passed safely and she'd had no symptoms.

  • My cat used to love to chase hair ties. We had teenagers so they were always around, the wrist-size skinny loops. She could even hold one in her teeth, lie down and hook it with her rear claw, and shoot it across the room, instantly chasing after it. Best toy ever!

    Then one day she was in distress and horked one up, but still seemed unwell so I took her in. An exam, an ultrasound, and an endoscopy later they handed me a bag of 30 hair ties they'd extracted from her stomach.

    They're now banned from our home.

  • Wait what? As a non gambler I have questions. Do the wins and losses per customer get summed up at the end of the night and reported to the IRS by the casinos? Does one self-report? If so, again would it be your net over a certain period or each hand/roll/pull/spin?
