In The Battle For Strength, It Helps To Be A Man In A Woman’s World

Hubbard, who was born in 1978, is 43-years-old, meaning that the transgender athlete was in their mid-thirties when they transitioned. In other words, Hubbard experienced decades of developmental growth as a male before recently ensuring that their testosterone measured below some given limit. If we assume that this wouldn’t drastically “undo” any biological benefits when compared to biological women — such as muscle growth — we could well explain Hubbard’s meteoric rise in the women’s sport.

While the notion of gender “affirmation” treatment for consenting adults whose transition doesn’t threaten the livelihoods of others is subject to objective medical and moral debate, the embrace of an additional competitive layer simply cannot be accepted by a society which claims to protect women, particularly when such competition provides biological men with an inescapable advantage.


Imagine the science crowd being so dishonest to try to dispute this article. Men shouldn’t compete with women period.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
 

Yay! We have a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure. Oh, but wait, the I want the whole loaf or nothing bunch (Dem version in this case) seems to have thrown a wrench into the works.

So let me get this straight the Senate works out a compromise and Pelosi says she won't take up that deal until the Senate also passes another deal that puts back in all the stuff that was taken out in the negotiation????? Why bother with the compromise deal at all in that case?????

How is Mitch escaping the wrath that Nancy is getting here?

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
 

Mansion gave Mitch everything he wanted, and Mitch was like yeah…no. Mansion totally exposed Mitch for being a no man, but we are complaining about Nancy Pelosi?
For all the republicans in here let me just get this straight…Mitch NoConnell says a trillion on corporate tax breaks = good, a trillion on a crumbling infrastructure = no, and Nancy Pelosi is to blame? Ill be damned if Republicans aren’t still morphing into Trumpers. Damn thought the invasion of the body snatchers was over.

Probably because he's consistently terrible. You know what he's going to do 95% of the time - his stated goal since Obama took office is to oppose everything Dems do. Doesn't matter if they would help his constituents - his goal is to make citizens believe Dems are bad. And he's been very successful in that effort.

Shit on me all you want but at this point there's nothing to do against McConnell but root for father time. He's been leading the Republicans for over a decade and we still don't have a solid answer for his strategy.

Probably because he wasn't (officially at least) part of this compromise. The issue here is Pelosi basically stating she wants the whole loaf or nothing (an approach that has been common to both parties since 2009). This is the first compromise bill of major legislation that has been agreed too in the Senate since the Bush administration and it looks like she is going to sink it.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
 

Well this deal seems to be quickly falling apart and the blame for that can squarely be laid on both the President and the Speakers comments about tying it to another bill that adds everything they wanted back into a reconciliation bill. Graham has now withdrawn from the agreement (others will follow) and Manchin stated he will not support the reconciliation bill. Looks like in the whole loaf or nothing approach, nothing wins again (as usual).

Speaking of as usual, after Mitch McConnell, and Trump (just in a shorter window than Mitch) have literally ignored every bill that has come from a Democrat for years - not even tried to negotiate- just literally ignored them, and the right has been absolutely silent about it - we are now going to blame the left for standing in the way of progress? Ok. That’s rich.

This isn't one party stopping the other party's partisan proposals, this is the President and Pelosi screwing up a compromise bill put together by both parties. I can't think of one instance on major legislation since 2008 where an agreement has been reached within Congress between the two parties. So you are comparing (pine?)apples to oranges on this.

Nah, you right. This is the first time in a while a bill that was compromised on by both sides of the aisle was held up due to party leadership on one side going hard-line on it.

When Mitch is in power, he just says straight up "we're not even going to look at this. FOH bitch ass dems."

But somehow what we're doing is worse. I guess we just need to refuse to even consider any conservative ideas.

Well isn’t stopping the same as “screwing” up? Stopping, blocking, ignoring, counter offering…..
Pelosi and Biden wanting more in the bill is not screwing up. When the hell was the last time Republicans compromised on anything? Again McConnell does not even entertain most of what Dems in congress propose.

[url]https://www.vox.com/2019/11/29/20977735/how-many-bills-passed-house-democrats-trump[/url]

From that article…

“McConnell calls himself the “grim reaper” of Democratic legislation he derides as socialist, but many of the bills that never see the Senate floor are bipartisan issues, like a universal background check bill, net neutrality, and reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act.”

Bipartisan issues there. Call it whatever fruit you would like, but at the end of the day it is halting progress. To me ignoring something is far worse than negotiations going nowhere. At least this was entertained.
The party of Mitch McConnell and Trump (whether he is in office or not he obviously has pull) has no business harping on Pelosi and Biden for halting progress in any way, shape, form, or fruit….none at all.

Again the point is they killed (unintentionally on Biden's part I think) a bill that both parties agreed to pass which is in fact different than killing legislation that only the other party was proposing. We have been in a whole loaf or nothing pattern since the ACA was passed - with the parties 100% opposed to legislation proposed (or allowing amendments to) by their political opponents. This compromise broke (or would have) that pattern and finally brought back some level of cross party cooperation. The result is instead of getting $1.2 trillion for infrastructure we'll get a big fat goose egg for infrastructure and the destructive pattern of no compromise will continue.

Re: Fresh Start Political Thread
 

Literally nothing has changed between Trump and the Biden administration when it comes to communication and messaging…it’s been 1000% true with covid and now the infrastructure bill. The hope of clarity, transparency and honesty…that’s been a bullshit dream. Biden lies as much as Trump period.

Biden seems like he is suffering from dementia or something else, his presser where he was whispering the other day after just last week becoming unhinged on the world stage with the press…you gotta be a brainwormed clown not to see it.

I think everyone agrees we need funding for infrastructure and especially security of our infrastructure. Anything that is not actual infrastructure like “human infrastructure” should be negotiated outside of the bill as a separate issue.

To have this conversation it’s not only defunding the police but also the shift by District attorney offices making the decisions to purposely not hold criminals accountable for their crimes, releasing violent criminals back into their neighborhoods, and purposely not supporting the victim/witness relationship when it comes to justice.
