I honestly struggle to understand how trans women are disadvantaged if they’ve been through puberty as boys

If hormone levels are irrelevant to performance, why do cis male athletes dope?

Your premise that trans women who have been on HRT for years are physically and functionally identical to teenage boys isn’t based in reality. If HRT did nothing to your body nobody would take it.

Whispering:

make it 0

What questions you choose to entertain as legitimate is a statement in itself.

Who do you think is in charge of the DoJ? They’re not going to investigate their boss.

I can’t believe it’s timed to coincide with infrastructure week!

Not just taxes on what he makes in hell, but also the taxes he was supposed to pay while alive.

Just apply anyway if it otherwise seems like a good fit. The requirements listed, except those required by law, are a wish list and not a minimum for consideration.

Democrats have never seen an effective slogan they couldn’t workshop and focus group test to death.

My options are severely limited since I don’t eat meat, but The Habit makes a really nice veggie burger. They have one of the fake meat burger brands as well, but those honestly make me gag a little with how greasy they are.

There are only 4 credit card networks in the US, regardless of the credit card brand: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Anecdotally Visa and Mastercard are by far the most commonly used and accepted, but I couldn’t tell you why, beyond it often being the default debit card issued by banks.

UK, this is hitting basically all websites. Any site hosting adult content has to verify user ages for anyone in the UK, and instead of doing that many smaller sites are just geoblocking the UK. Easy to get around with a VPN, still absurd it’s happening.

The phrase for ‘racially charged comment’ is ‘racist comment,’ fucking cowards.

Trad = traditional = usually code for conservative white Christian 50s gender roles, as sold to zoomers by social media influencers.

If every eligible voter voted Trump still would have won.

Spend less time slinging shit and more time fixing it.

I have bad news for you: you will never be able to arrest your way out of child rape and it’s not only the ultra wealthy that do it. And making angry comments on the internet at people pointing out that the victims need to be acknowledged in this is not trying to “hold powerful people to account for their crimes.”

You should ask yourself what makes you so mad about centering victims even 1/10th as much as centering punishing pedos, because that was the bar I set. Not half as much, not a third as much, not to the exclusion of talking about punishment at all.

Unless you are a child survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of the ultra wealthy, you and I are not the we in this story. The survivors are, and I believe the point being made was that nobody who is obsessed with the Epstein list is 1/10th as concerned with making sure the survivors have what they need to recover and thrive to whatever extent is possible.

So it isn’t imperialism that’s the problem, it’s rooting for the wrong empire. 👍

Except the one with Ozzy actually happened, lol.

Am I misremembering, or didn’t he get some genome sequencing done at some point in the late 00s/10s and they found out that he had a ton of genes known to make you metabolize drugs and alcohol very quickly?

Shit, I’ll take it. This is one they’re not even wrong to be mad about. Would have been great if this happened sometime between 2016 and 2024 but whatever, momentum is momentum.
