So I guess it shouldn't be shocking that even after a lengthy absence, washoe jumps right back into this topic with both feet. Welcome back, I guess.

Really? Seems like a rather silly assumption. LGBTQ people are humans like everyone else. Some are tolerant and accepting, some are bigots. Some are wonderfully nice people, some are *******s. Most are in the middle. Kind of the same variety as all humans. Why you think this topic is worthy of a half dozen posts within a couple of hours, I have no idea.

Thats cool, Brazil always reminds me of John "Buttman" Stagliano, and of trans women, which I know there are plenty of there. As Thailand, its famous for that imo. He unfortunately allegedly got infected with hiv there from some trans women. Sip some coconuts for me next time.

I think a person subjected to this topic would care a lot, as he was.
Read the article observantly and unbiased, I think that will open your eyes on some topics.

Yeah but if one group is openly or covertly opposed to the other group, that could push people, and is apparently pushing people to the other group. In this instance to the trans group with the certain outcome that are later sometimes regretted. If that happens to a youth, then its bad. He was 13 coerced by a 40 something year old. I hope he wins on court btw.

Im not saying that goes for every individual, but as we learn here its a trend that the whole forum there in Poland was following.

You're putting a whole lot of weight into a few anecdotes. Not that they are (or aren't) true, but it's a long way from those stories to being concerned that this some kind of large group vs. group thing.

Makes me wonder what all the millions of individulol MAGAchuds internalize. There's no universality. And all generalities are false.

Either you're going to calculate or trust. By the time you arrive at trust and your own inadequacy, your life is whatever the focuses had been, with whatever strengths and weaknesses/ frailties these unique individuals possessed. Maybe they all find something they need. You can lift up both somehow. The endless chiding doesnt seem to work lmao

Saying that what applies to groups of people doesn't necessarily apply to everyone in that group isn't really too amazing an insight.

Trans Women banned from Women's division. Not sure why there are divisions at all ?

They aren't banned. They just aren't allowed to compete as women until they are certified as having actually changed their "gender" (however one goes about doing that).

Article headline and text are incongruent with each other.

Because otherwise men would dominate. Only 3 women have ever been rated in the top 100 for chess players.

Careful, I got a 30pt infraction for saying the same thing. The mods here want to keep this forum an echo chamber of their own beliefs. If someone posts an opinion/belief they don’t agree with they just delete it and give them an infraction. Then they wonder why this site has no traffic.

This. While men and women are as intelligent on average, there are sex differences in certain aspects within mathematics. For example, men are better at mechanical and visual spacial reasoning and women are better at calculus. This, plus greater male variability mean men are likely to dominate something like chess to a similar extent to physical domains.

This is a bit like saying all old people are dumb or incompetent. Some are, but the more society treats them as useless, the less likely they are to be given opportunities to prove they can be useful.

Do you think this is a Freudian thing? Reaction formation?

No, not really at all. Not even close. How much dope did you smoke to come up with this nonsensical comparison?

She said this before the competition.

I will win by a good margin. This is due to my training ethic, but people widely misattribute it to my history 20 years ago.
This stuff is comical. Yeah you won because you gave it 110%. The other women just need to try harder and stop making excuses.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed in here, but the primary reason trans has become such a hot topic is because the GOP did internal polling of their base and discovered trans issues as a whole weren't enough to activate their base because of fear of bigotry labels. However, when they focused on trans issues in relation to sports, and the fairness and integrity of sports, then they noticed that people were Ok with voicing their anti-trans views and felt justified in doing so.

And so here we are.
