The ultimate reason it's wrong to ban transgender people from competing in athletics competitions is that the implication is that testosterone can be considered a performance enhancing drug -- even if the athlete in question is well within hormonal levels of any other cisgender athlete in the same sport.
If that's the case, then it opens the door to banning other athletes for exceeding the testosterone limit, and guess what? Cisgender women with African heritage naturally produce more testosterone than the average woman world-wide. So banning transgender athletes leads to potentially banning African women which is obviously racist and wrong to do.
Also, poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects about 1 in 10 women and a very common side effect of PCOS is elevated testosterone levels. So 1 in 10 women would be banned for medical reasons outside of their control. And banning people for a medical condition is ableist and obviously wrong to do.
And, ultimately, sports aren't fair. We try to make them equitable by making the rules universal, but biological advantages are just part of sports. If we start banning athletes for hormones, why not ban athletes for being taller than average? Why not ban athletes for having better vision than average? Or better peripheral vision? Or faster reflexes? If only the absolute average, or below average people were allowed to compete then nearly half of all people would be unable to compete.
Plus, the vast majority of athletes say that they don't want transgender people to be banned from their respective sports.
And not to mention that it's just rude to exclude transgender athletes, and if it were truly such an advantage to be transgender then why aren't transgender people winning tournaments left and right? About 1% of people are transgender, so if transgender people are winning 1% of all tournaments then that would mean that they're exactly on exactly equal footing with their competitors. But I suspect that less than 1% of tournament winners are transgender which means that transgender people are actually at a disadvantage, which again, is fine because sports are inherently unfair as I outlined above.
At the end of the day, transgender athlete bans hurt everyone, and 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.
It's actually possible to mate in 2 in this position. Black moves Knight to f3, White has to move King to h1, Black moves Rook to h7 and checkmate.
I'm not actually sure what the "correct" solution is, but mating in 2 is obviously better than mating in 3.
Edit: Ohh I see it. White has to move their Knight to h4 to block Black's rook on h7. Then black takes the knight on h4 for checkmate.
Favourite: Sci-fi / Comedy
Least Favourite: Action / Reality
Action scenes in TV and movies are sooooo booooooring. I just check out and stop watching until it's over.
As for reality, there are parts that I like and I do watch some reality like Drag Race, but I hate all the negativity that it creates and the drama. I like the costumes and the funny parts of Drag Race but I hate, hate, haaaaate all the drama they try to create. It's pretty obvious that the production crew are stirring the pot to cause drama but like, I don't care!
Not very surprising results, but that's what science is about. Gotta question even what seems obvious because sometimes what's obvious is wrong.
It's nice to have affirmation, and it gives me the warm fuzzies to think about all the other trans people out there feeling those good good euphoria feelings.
For me, I'd say top euphoric moments so far are: getting my engagement photos done with my partner in a dress and professional hair and makeup -- I've never felt so pretty, having long time friends who knew me before transitioning ask which of us is going to get pregnant and carry the child when I mentioned having kids to them, getting flirted with by old school lesbians is so affirming too -- one even said, after telling her I'm trans, "well, you're all woman to me!"
There's been so much more, just a constant daily glow of joy from the very core of my being, but those are the top moments for me. I hope it gives others some warm fuzzies to read about my experiences so far.
Yeah, either put quotes around it '/like this/you can incorporate/spaces/into your paths' or /just\ escape/your\ spaces/like\ this
But then why is it available in my command line terminal as a command that I can use? Like when I type do and then hit TAB twice to list commands that match the output is do done dofsck etc... but when I just enter do in the command line or do --help I get bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'do'
I would assume that since I can run sudo apt update that I could also run do apt update where it would run it not as a super user. I know just apt update would do that too, but I'm just so curious if it's possible to use do as a user-level sudo or what else it might be able to do.
The thing is that if someone is bothering you, then you need to go to the teacher. If you set a precedent that one kid is bothering you, then the teacher is more likely to believe you if you ever snap and hit your bully they'll be more understanding. But if you never say anything and then suddenly snap, then obviously it looks from the outside like you're the bully.
Oh wow! I wasn't expecting them to go as cheap as $100. I'm definitely getting one then, thanks!
Where did you buy your 3d printer and how much does it generally cost to get one?
I currently work part-time as a bus driver and I just wanna say that it's incredibly hard to determine who is right or wrong when you didn't see what happened and you're just going by what each kid says. If you only see the tail end of a fight, you might wrongfully think the kid retaliating is the bully. 99% of the time it's easier to just separate the kids and/or punish them both equally since it's impossible to determine who the victim and the perpetrator is. It sucks, it feels really bad, but that's the reality of the situation.
I'm kind of surprised it took Thailand so long to do this, but good for them!
