Cool, we've got arguing honestly going. The logical extension of your overly lazy example is that Transgender women should be banned from all sports. Which I think is immoral and is most likely illegal No not all sports - only sports in which having gone through puberty as a male provides a strength...

I looked it up on wikipedia - homophobia can cover trans bigotry. Which seems silly, homophobia and transphobia are two seperate things.

If you had mentioned that jews should be gassed then that would be anti Semitic.

If your aunty had wheels she would be a bicycle.

If I was 6"8 I would be playing in the NBA.

So you are not answering the question. Just accusing me of being racist.

Anything that isn't white now is off limits. We have whites and unmentionable.

To make my point clearer:

using this logic:

If a Trans Woman is legally considered a woman than she has the right to participate in activities and recreation as a woman.

then there is no issue with 15 trans women taking the field as a team in a womens rugby game.

Christ I want to see that.

Jerome Manning

Ali would you have any issue with 15 trans women taking the field as a team in a womens rugby game?

Your counter argument will be that that would never happen (which is irrelevant btw).

ok. What about 14? 11? 7? 3? Where is the cut off?

Because that would be an explicit admission that they are different. They are not "real men" or "real women" - they are a whole different category. That would rip open a massive scab.

Muttonbirds wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 9:05 am I think the point of free, self-determination is people themselves, not hard right-wing fascists, get to decide who they are.

Do I get to identify as Maori or Chinese or Mongolian? Your logic collapses very quickly.

As someone who has competed in strength sports and knows women that do, this is a disgrace. The biological and anatomical advantages this man brings to a female only competition outstrips even the advantages that a good few cycles of gear would give a woman. This is not a level playing field and th...

Where should she be competing so it's not cheating?

With the men. If your gender doesn't match your biological birth sex, you compete with the men. Easy.

I hope he wins. It would shine a blow torch on the complete farce it is.

Doesn't this go in the "impossible to regulate so no point talking about it" file?

I think there should be a global policy that lingerie models have to have sex with me.

Just got a silly one in the NRL Warriors v Cowboys. It doesn't work in rugby/league because it's too dynamic. It works in cricket because the game literally stops after every ball. Eh? League literally stops after every single play. It doesn't. It's not like the defensive line takes a break and swi...

My personal 21st C XI: Cook Sangakarra [had to put him somewhere] Ponting Smith Dravid Kallis Gilchrist Warne Bond Anderson McGrath Many more Aussies than I'd like ideally, and can't quite decide who my favourite proper-quick would be. Went with Bond by extrapolating a short career into a long one....

mid to late 90s onwards:

1- Matthew Hayden
2- Virender Sehwag
3- Ponting
4- Kallis
5- Dravid
6- Sangakara
7- Gilchrist
8- Warne
9- Brett Lee
10- Dale Steyn
11- McGrath

No room for Tendulkar and Lara.

"Rounds" are a stupid idea. You should be able to drink at your own pace and not have to worry about financing somebody else's excessive consumption. Sure, I'll have a drink if someone offers, but apart from that I'm boycotting the whole business. It's a good system but it requires you to be with g...

Women trying to organise things. We have an annual big day out with 4 other local families. There’s a WhatsApp group for it.

It's the opposite of sneering. It's people questioning whether you need to live in New York in your 20s, Copenhagen in your 30s and Budapest in your 40s. All while being an app designer who invests in tech start ups.
