Transgender Issues

The equality was women playing games they weren't allowed to play, or no one provided the resources for them to play.

Jammie Booker is the strongest woman in the world. But ‘she’ was just stripped of her World Strongwoman Championship when it was revealed she was born male. She is not getting any love from her fellow competitors who missed the opportunity to celebrate a win on stage. Who can possibly think ‘she’ should be allowed to compete with women n this type of competition?

Where do you stand on Beatrice Masilingi and Christine Mboma?

The articles discussing their cases are vague. One implied that they are XY genetically, the next XX. I’ll let you tell me which I’m to assume is true, and what their tested testosterone levels are, and then I’ll answer.

Well, assume XX is true, then what say you? Then assume XY is true, what say you? Assume, in both cases testosterone levels are above the World Athletics/USOC threshold.

XY and above the ‘threshold’ is easy for me. That’s a man. There are Strongman competitions that are open to such athletes

XX above the threshold is more complicated. If it can be determined that the individual has some anomaly that results in abnormally high testosterone levels, but is XX, I’d consider that a female eligible to participate n the World Strongest Woman competition. If the testosterone is exogenous, that to me is doping, and would be cause for disqualification.

To me the transgender issue is quite simple.

No discrimination in housing, employment, and stuff like that. But no automatic ability to compete against women in sports because you want to call yourself a woman.

in the news, Trans'woman' stripped of title due to previous life as a porn star


World’s Strongest Woman for a while there, that 15 minutes of fame thing I guess

I am so !%$^%$^ tired of our resident Lefties not keeping us up to date on the latest pronoun trends! What if I had been embarrassed out in public because I didn't know:

“Neopronouns are “new” “pronouns” such as “xe/xem/xyr” … ““Xeopronouns are for “conceptual identities” such as “cat/cats/catself.”

I don't keep up with them. There was a security person in one of the casinos in Vegas, and I still don't know if she was a he or vice versa. Had only the last name, and never had a reason to ask. If I had to make contact, I would have just started it with the first word of what I wanted to say, or "Excuse me, ....etc.,

How many times do you really need to even ask what gender someone is, for any reason outside of some official reason even if you don't know.

You can talk to a Neo-pronouned or Xeo-pronouned or just Trans-pronouned* person all day long without asking. That's because for a pronoun one just uses 'you' in those circumstances. It's when you are talking *about* them that gets you into trouble.

* to just switch from male to female or vice versa is So Old Fashioned! anybody still do it?

I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me]

The deflection from this issue is of course, " other people commit mass shootings too" . In fact I knew I would hear this so I refrained from posting about the Canadian one. But I can't take it anymore, a new class of mass shooter that did not exist before is now before us.

Here is the new one, the Rhode Island hockey teams shooter, a trans-woman. WTF?
