    Would genuinely love to see the reaction of the "JUST USE GENDER ASSIGNED AT BIRTH!!!" parents when this dude steps onto the mat to wrestle their daughter.Transgender teenager Mack Beggs wins Texas wrestling title

    (I generally agree with b_t that this is a solution in search of a problem, but the absolute inability for these anti-trans folks to consider the unintended consequences of shit like this is astounding to me.)

    Seriously ... speaking of solutions looking for problems ... can you share the name of a trans person denied the ability to participate in sports? (maybe there are millions, I honestly have no idea ... much like the fake bathroom attacks from years ago feels like this had never really been a problem, but I may 100% be wrong).

    I hope they put 75 masks on Fauci so he doesn't fuck this up. Just let Shaq and Charles be Shaq and Charles & the message will be great.

    A big problem at least in my area is that one has to have an ID, sign-up online, and go to the vaccine site ... you know what huge barriers those present to some segments of the population (apparently).

    Meanwhile, I read that there are 900,000 Americans every year that develop a blood clot for one reason or another.  Out of 328 million people in the US.  One would think that the occurrence of a blood clot from a COVID vaccine would need to be higher than that statistic to pause a rollout of it.  But what do I know? 

    "Experts" > science and data.

    The US Women's National Team is fun to watch. They should get paid a multiple over the Men's team. But some people don't seem to understand how this all ends.  

    The next logical step is age. If sex is just a construct that can be defined to infinity, why not let people identify at whatever age they feel like. No reason sexual biology should be limited to you know, sexual biology. Have Sark start recruiting a bunch of practice squad NFL guys and have them identify as 18-year-olds. I'm sure the lax league will not be impacted by 21-year-old guys competing against 15-year-old girls, cause you know, good players.

    Its been covered in this thread sufficiently. That's obviously something that's not quantifiable. I'm not interested in a pissing match. Might be more difficult for a lawyer to understand, but in life there some very apparent truths. 

    You guys are bending over backward to argue against a very apparent truth in life. 

    Welcome to the surl.

    Osterholm made some good calls early on, but seems to have gone off the rails over the variant threat.  Maybe justified, maybe not.  We'll find out during the post mortem. But I do agree with his approach re: vax strategy. 

    I heard someone today make the comment today that if you go back to Fauci's comments and publications early in 2020 he was pretty spot on based on how the data ultimately has shaken out. At some point he did a pretty big 180 on some of his comments and assertions.

    In addition to the pure hatefulness of it all, exactly what here demands a legislative solution?  Why not just let the sanctioning bodies figure it out?

    I don't recall any legislator trying to break up Plano ISD schools, or keep Southlake or Allen or the private Jesus schools from recruiting.

    I agree. This was one of Biden's more idiotic executive orders. Did not feel like there was a cry for federal intervention. Women take it in the shorts again (no pun intended).

    I mean, I don’t know. Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world is now having a daily new cases number that is 3% of their peak (250 vs 8200 per day). That kinda tells me that the vaccines work. So why can’t this asshole Fauci say yes, the vaccines fucking work and in a couple of months we will have crushed the rebellion with one swift stroke. He even kind of looks like Peter Cushing.

    I think he's gotten addicted to the attention. He's got to say stupid shit or CNN won't put him on the air.

    Sorry but how many transgender female athletes are out there in competitive sports and of those, what proportion are outclassing all the cisgender women?

    Why all of a sudden is this THE big, trendy issue?

    Solution in search of a problem, just to kick around the "out" group some more and distract from actual issues that need tackling. 

    I have been scratching my head trying to figure out what this is an issue. I think you're 100% correct that this merely is solution looking for a problem or maybe more accurately another extreme goalpost move used as a idealogical litmus test with which to then bash anyone that does not conform. This one of those symbolic issues that I just do not think would pass the consistency smell test. Fuck off with the disingenuous "discrimination" bullshit. Fuck the NCAA and let's start over.

  10. I hate four-way stops. Completely pointless ... I am a big fan of traffic circles ... they've started putting some in my town, and usually it works out swimmingly. I did have my first experience with the person in front of me stopping for no reason over the weekend, but I'll take a traffic circle 100 times out of 100 vs. a four-way stop.

    My biggest pet peeve in my town is the complete inability of the city to have traffic signals react to traffic patterns. Sitting for one minute at a red light on a Sunday evening without a car in sight feels like nothing more than a Roscoe P. Coltrane trick to right tickets. Not of these traffic engineers seem to realize that traffic patterns fluctuate between rush hour and late evenings.

    You get it.  Civilian with guns pointed at him has to behave perfectly (and, spoiler: when given conflicting instructions, he will be criticized for following A instead of B, or B instead of A -- meaning it's impossible for him to get a passing grade).  Failure to behave perfectly excuses the cop's conduct.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Anyone who has seen the Arizona video would be scared shitless to do what the cops tell them to do.

    Cops really need to holster their damn weapons. I don't think anyone really wants to shoot a cop. Yes, it happens, but for crying out loud keep it in your damn pants until absolutely necessary. It works both ways - a cop approaching even a suspicious vehicle both with caution but a presumption of innocence and de-escalation seems too obvious.

  12. I'm in no way saying it does not exist, but I too have not seen anything about hoax / "it's just the flu" in a long, long time. I'd be pretty surprised if one could find those positions promulgated today, but I have been surprised before. I have had people note that the influenza death rate is higher than covid for people under 21, but that is a data-driven reality not "it's a hoax."
