Ya know what else causes blindness? Diabetes and obesity.

True, but not paying for maintenance sure does help the executive hit his quarterly numbers to receive a bonus

That makes no sense. Why would the military guy go along with that plan, and then after being caught as planned he then suddenly tells the world about the plan?

Great idea! Accessibility matters!

I think it’s great that this has been captioned so deaf people can appreciate it too

Mac is easier than Windows, sure, but not easier than a chromebook. Nothing is simpler than a Chromebook. You can do much more with a Mac, but a chromebook is much easier.

Then her situation isn’t applicable to this topic

Sounds like all she needs is a dirt cheap chromebook then

So then the only way to make it fair is for us to invest equally as much into our own green energy industries

Dude, you absolutely need the /s on this one. There are people who authentically say this. And they read your comment thinking you and the upvoters all support that same belief too

Quote right from the opening paragraph:

it is important to understand the level of physical fitness/performance [trans] individuals possess relative to their cisgender counterparts. Unfortunately, there are few studies investigating this topic, and several complications that confound this research.

I absolutely won’t sit down. You don’t have any authority to silence people, neither from a power perspective nor a moral perspective. You need to grow up and learn how to have a discussion with people you disagree with.

On a personal level and I’ve been very friendly and engaging in serious discussion with other people. And on the subject matter I’ve been very clear, on-topic, rational, understanding, and providing of citations for my claims. You should learn how to do it.

I can’t believe OP actually said it:

dO yOUr OwN ResEArcH!

The most classic stereotypical retort of someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about and is trying to deflect because they know they’re unable to support their claim

If it could be done in a reasonable way then I’d be totally fine with that

There have only been 4 known transgender Olympic athletes so far.

And of those 4 it seems like none of them are born-male people who are now competing in a women’s event, which is the only situation where the trans person would have an advantage.

If i had to guess I’d say it’s simply numbers. Compared to the rest of the population, trans people are extremely rare, and so there likely just haven’t been enough trans people to have been there yet.

So you’re saying there shouldn’t be separate males and females events, there should only be a single all-entrants event

Stop labeling people anti-trans just because they disagree with you about the mechanics of a zero-sum competition situation. The majority of people here are PRO-TRANS, and ALSO pro-women. We all just want the system that provides the most fairness in a situation where there’s no way for it to be completely fair to everyone.

If there are 10 seats on a team, every spot taken by a person means that a different person doesn’t get that spot. So we as a caring society have to decide who CAN get that seat, and also who CAN’T get that seat. It all comes down to whether or not women born with biologically male bodies have a physical advantage over women born with biologically female bodies. At the very minimum, people who went through male puberty have a physical advantage over people who didn’t go through male puberty.
