Wasted the greatest game of Kyrie Irving's career.

He choked big time at home and hurt the Cavs. I was stunned.

Seriously, though, there is a lot I see that pisses me off.

As long as it does not effect me personally, I don't care about it.

As a general rule my opinion won't make any difference, so I try and not get bent out of shape.

Morals and values in the US have been going to Hell for quite a while, and it ain't getting better snytine soon.

Rant off.
 
This thought provoking thread set me to thinking -

What if we spell Erod backwards... and dorE enjoyed sucking on Stiff Icks, would dorE's gender have changed?

I think he meant Jessie Graff, and she's a beast, I'm a huge fan of hers. She posts her training routines on facebook, she has a pig, the pig is great.

OK, that makes more sense. :)

Not that Steffi Graf wasn't a phenomenal athlete.

I know, but she had been on an intensive steroid program for her transition, which basically gave her a guy's strength. It was completely unfair.

So if they had let him compete against boys?

This one is due to your own policies.

Not quite what you had in mind, eh liberals?

Perhaps we should just have one team for each sport, and the best players make the team. That's fair, right? Just blow girls sports up for good?

Careful what you wish for.

Ive said several times that is not right to have a person who is genetically a male complete in sports vs females. Sure not every sport is it going to be an issue but sports that depend on strength and speed etc.. it is.
Males have a larger heart, larger lungs, more muscle mass and density etc.. and hormone therapy is not going to undo very much of that.
 
Dr. Renee Richards, formerly a male, transitioned to female, then played tennis professionally.

So let's take inventory.

A man can't go to a women-only showing of Wonder Woman, but he can compete in a women's track meet. Makes sense.

And now we get to the REAL story....;)

The Texas wrestling one was a whole different story. The person who won that was born a female and transitioned to male. He wanted to wrestle in the men's division but the state of Texas uses your birth certificate to determine which gender you wrestle against. Texas wouldn't let him wrestle against men.

all true but he should have been disqualified for doping. I was on the NADA list at one time meant I could be subjected to random dope tests because I was ranked in the top 12 of an Olympic sport at one time and later in another one (which was a bit of a stretch) and I knew that the stuff that girl transitioning to a boy was taking would have caused any Olympic athlete to be banned. Now obviously, this wrestler was not trying to cheat in sports and wanted to compete in an environment where the hormones would not have been an advantage but state athletic associations can clearly guard against this situation by either letting girl>boy trans compete as boys or ban those who are "females" who are doping.

Excellent point. As I have said elsewhere, I am as Libby Lib as one can be when it comes to trans-issues. But with some competitive sports, like track, there is just no way to make it work that will be fair to everyone. And if you can't be fair to everyone then you have to be fair to as many people as possible.

Because of my color vision, there are some jobs I just can't do, particularly in aviation. Maybe there are just some competitive sports you can't compete in if you are trans. It sucks, but biology isn't always fair.

I think you'll find most liberals do not for the most part advocate for allowing male-->female athletes to compete against other women. I personally would also not advocate for allowing any type of male female transition until a person is at least 18 years of age, and capable of making their own decision. If we can ban tattoos, voting, alcohol, cigarettes, and continue to criminalize statutory rape then it seems only reasonable to require people to wait until at least 18 before making such an important decision.
