This isn't about male bowlers though. The physiology of transgender people changes very quickly after starting Hormone Replacement Therapy. Do you have data on transgender women and bowling in cricket? Because data relating to male bowlers is not applicable.

I apologize if you're not a transphobe, but you reposted a singular study whose findings are trash at best and outright bigotry at worst. I think it's natural for me to assume you're a transphobe trying to troll considering I specifically said:

...anti-transgender jerks are just making a big stink about it because it sounds reasonable on it's face to uninformed people and so it's a good wedge issue to bring up. Anti-transgender people don't care about the sports they're "trying to save", they just hate transgender people and want to see them suffer, and anyone who entertains their non-sense is complicit (probably unknowingly) in that suffering.

So please, those of you who are reasonable, shut down any discussion of transgender sports bans.

Of course trying to continue the discourse would make me assume that you're transphobic. You should have been more clear if that's not the case. Regardless, it shouldn't take away from my point. Again though, I apologize if you posted it from a perspective of honest discussion, but I hope you understand that this topic is often a target of trolls who seek to muddy the water by "just asking questions" in bad faith.

It makes sense to either go general to specific or specific to general. MM-DD-YYYY is neither.

Walkable cities are created by not emphasizing car infrastructure which necessitates good mass transit because people still need to get around which creates a more walkable city, etc. It's kind of a chicken and egg situation, they're both the cause and effect of each other in an endless cycle.

It feels very similar, but slightly less of an intense spike right at the start and definitely more prolonged. There's still a spike but not overwhelmingly so. And then it slowly fades over 3-5 seconds but doesn't quite go away. Afterwards there's a warm pulsing sensation that keeps passing through the rest of your body for a couple of minutes which is extremely nice and relaxing.

I've always compared male orgasm to being kind of like a sneeze. Am extremely intense feeling but goes away almost immediately after. I haven't thought of a very good analogy for a female orgasm, but maybe like getting into a hot tub. The intense heat at first is a lot but it feels really good, and then it slowly fades in intensity and then you're left with relaxing warmth.

Oh god... Imagine the horse bolting after hearing the gunshot and you're falling from your own height plus the height of the horse. I bet a lot of necks were broken from this experiment before they cancelled it.

The real secret is that they have amazing mass transit infrastructure which makes for extremely walkable cities. Only about 10% of Japanese people own a car and so they probably get way more exercise just from living day to day than the average American gets in a week.

African women out perform lots of athletes in nearly all sports, should they be banned from competing? No, of course not, that's bigotry. Trans women don't out perform cis women or there would be overwhelming evidence that they're winning tournaments constantly over cisgender women. Where's the evidence? Good luck finding it, because it doesn't exist, because it's not true.

And as I pointed out, sports are inherently unfair. It's not cheating to have a biological advantage. It's only cheating if you break the established rules of the actual game. Being more intelligent than your opponent in chess is not cheating, but moving a piece during your opponents turn is. See the difference? One is a biological advantage which is fine, the other is breaking a rule within the sport itself which is not fine.

That study is irrelevant and their findings don't change anything about my answer. That study could say "African women have more lean muscle mass and are taller than the average athlete" and you wouldn't be sharing that study around saying that African women shouldn't be allowed to compete with other athletes because that's racist and stupid.

And besides, taking an extreme example and comparing it to the average is dishonest. The best way to determine if transgender athletes are actually dominating in sports is their top level tournament wins. As I said, about 1% of people are transgender, so about 1% of tournament winners should be transgender if everything is even. Anything above, means an advantage and anything below means a disadvantage.

So where are all the transgender people absolutely dominating tournaments above the average of transgender prevalence?

You can't show me that because it doesn't happen, and even if it did happen, that's just sports! You simply can't ban people for a biological advantage in a hobby where biological advantages are literally everywhere. Height, vision, reflexes, agility, intelligence, etc.

In Canada (and I think in most of the world) it's illegal to randomly test employees unless you have reasonable cause.

Testing of an individual employee may be allowed in specific cases where there is reasonable cause to believe the employee is impaired by drugs or alcohol while on duty or is unable to work safely due to impairment from alcohol or drugs.
