Transgender sprinters finish 1st, 2nd at Connecticut girls indoor track championships

[Mountain Man]

Not from where I stand but still, sports aside (which is extremely complicated), a trans has the right, as previously discussed, to live their life.

Why should sports be the exception? How is this not a self-contradictory position?

Perhaps you missed the part where I said "tend to" not "automatically does".

There are truly things that happen in the natural world that the left would love to ignore -- why are most NBA teams made of of black players? They tend to be more athletic in the areas required to be good basketball players.
Good on them!!!

Somehow, that's not racist, but simply understood.

Men overwhelmingly will be better at many sports than most women - fact of life.

You have a strange little fixation on the left and what you think they think. I don't know anybody who ignores that LeBron, Kolby, the great Jordan, etc are black men.

But why would it be racist to acknowledge X or Y is a superior player??

Possibly, you may know this, but we actually have sarcasm tags that work quite well --- There's even a little icon for it in the edit tools above the post.

Just trying to help. (But I also got your /s )

I rarely use that feature, because half the fun of being sarcastic comes from people not realizing that it's sarcasm.

How do you know what he thought, especially in private. You obviously are one of those cis transphobes the result of the evil patriarchal society

I don't I'm simply playing in sparko's make-a-believe universe.


Wow those are complicate words for you, thank god for Webster.

Sport is not an exception in that a trans might have an interest and/or be very good, the point is, is the completion fair.

Well, yeah, there's that.

Again I support you in the alternate universe but in this one, while he served, Pence identified as a male. That's all she wrote.

It was just a suggestion. But I can't recall him ever stating "I identify as a male" - and if he was in the closet at the time, that still doesn't negate the fact that he could actually be a woman! Right?

Maybe Trump should claim he was the first woman President!

You have a strange little fixation on the left and

You have a weird little perception of what a fixation is.

what you think they think.

Actually, the reason I think I know what they think is because they TELL me what they think, and I don't believe they're liars. The vast majority of the people I deal with during the week are "the left".

I don't know anybody who ignores that LeBron, Kolby, the great Jordan, etc are black men.

Ya think?

Like I said, lower lifeforms are often incapable of detecting or responding to sarcasm.

[thormas]

For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

Lower lifeforms are often incapable of detecting and responding to sarcasm.

Thank god I'm on the high end of the highest lifeforms ......

It's not.

Well, then there was that recent post...

Was he is the closet as gay, bi, trans? It depends.

No, I have it right.

Well that's a small group.

I do, therefore I am.

You are on a roll with the humor and I'm just gonna let you bask in it.

You're not "the left", my friend --- you're the extreme nutter left. The people I work with - almost entirely minorities - are "the left", and are, for the most part, reasonable and responsible people.
