The Biden Trump debate was one of the most painful things I’ve ever watched. I’m excited for the debates with Harris and Walz though. I’m expecting them to wipe the floor with their opponents. There’s no way they’re going to be able to keep up.
Hormonal replacement therapy makes trans women lose their advantage regarding muscle growth so the only real ‘advantage’ they have to being trans is being taller on average, but cis women can be tall as well and that was never considered unfair. Also trans women have disadvantages because they often have to deal with surgeries meaning they can’t train for months and they face a lot of discrimination which can impact performance, training possibilities and income (which also affects training possibilities and time). Trans women have never been a threat towards women’s sports, the percentage of trans women with medals is less than that of cis women. Even if you remove the factor of discrimination then the advantage trans women have is no more than a cis woman who is born with very slow muscle acidification. Talking about actual unfair advantages, in many olympic sports you have to have rich parents to be able to get on an olympic level because training facilities are expensive and you (and your parents) need to have a lot of free time.
I get what you mean. I am 100% behind any humans right to be whoever they want to identify as. I am also not naive to the fact that hormones do alter muscle density and development.
I am not an expert, but I do have critical thinking skills.
That being said, I feel like if a trans person wants to participate in sports with cis gender of the same sex, maybe they need to have their hormones monitored to be in line with the average of that gender for a decent period of time so they don’t have hormone based advantages?
If anyone has a better suggestion, please by all means, let me know. That idea is the best one I could personally come up with while defending the trans community from a co-worker that leans very far right and brings up pedos claiming being trans to go to opposite gender bathrooms and trans people having unfair advantage in sports after some body builder claimed to be trans and got world records even tho it was obvious that person was doing it specifically to get the unfair advantage…
I heard a study before which said that trans women on average had lower testosterone than cis women, so the advantages that a trans woman has over them is rather slim, maybe even nonexistant.
I wonder if you are like most people worried that women absolutely must be protected in sports and rarely, if ever, watch women’s sports. Or even the Paralympics at all.
IANAL, IANAA (not American). I would wager this argument won’t work due to subdivisions of the Disney corporation into a lot of sub corporations. The terms of service and any other contract are usually between the consumer and the relevant sub corporate entity. This is usually what protects the parent corporation from one arm of the business spreading it’s risk to the rest of the corporate body. In this case, arguments reaching across that would risk spreading throughout the company… Weird that they would risk it.

Nassau borders Queens (NYC borough) to the east, for the out of towners. The moment you enter Long Island proper, it becomes Trump land all the way out to Montauk. It’s as expensive as the city, but has zero opportunity and has a police force that is somehow more racist than NYPD??? This is the same county that willingly elected George fucking Santos
Fuck Long Island. The only silver lining is that climate change is wiping it off the map.
Just outlaw tipping. I HATE the tip tax, it only exists so that companies can cheat their customers and somehow they managed to convince some servers that it’s a good thing
If you think about it, the entire idea is stupid. Just pay your servers an honest living, put realistic prices on your menus and you’re done.
I don’t tip my plumber, I don’t tip my doctor, I don’t tip my accountant, I don’t tip the cook, but for some reason I have to tip the waiter?
Just pay the guy / gal an honest living and stop screwing over your customers.
I’ve been to places where tipping is required while starting at fracking 25%. What the frack? And tipping is spreading as well. Now I can tip my baker too for giving me the bread that I just paid for. WTF?
The only thing that runs Chrome is my work computer only because they installed it and who gives a fuck if they get hacked? I don’t even discern search results because I don’t get paid enough to care.
Just make sure your router is updated. I recommend gl.inet routers if you’re a beginner - easy to keep up to date and their version of OpenWRT has AdGuard installed. Malware can affect more than just the computer you use
