Yay. A new argument. It's not right to send trans women, any woman, into men's bathrooms because men are disgusting.

In keeping with my love for Rehoboth Beach Delaware, here is a picture from yesterday. Not a good day for swimming in the ocean. The weather has been ...

I'll take a look. Thanks.

The thing I love about NYC most is that there is one of everything everywhere. It's like the whole city of Boston on each square block. But then, as y...

Just because it's the only argument you're willing to consider doesn't mean it's the only argument or the main one.

As you note, competition is not immoral. It has benefits and I think it's a fundamental part of human nature. It doesn't have to be taught. Little kid...

Rows of expensive snacks on the wall. No dust on anything. I bet there are no unopened boxes of canned cat food and energy drinks on the floor.

The post below describes the difference between your position and mine. As I've said in several posts, forcing acceptance of transgender people's dema...

For what it's worth, no one was injured. That doesn't change the quality of the pun.

That looks like a pretty upscale bodega.

I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night, alive as you or me.

Coincidence? Dildos, beer, chicken, sugar, and carnival rides. https://cdllife.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/1-17-696x522.jpeg

I checked on Wikipedia. It says the story was the lead in the January 1220 edition of the National Enquirer.

I not sure that's true, but even if it is, I don't think your approach will be effective.

I would not characterize you position, as expressed here, as nuanced and charitable. I see it as rigid and uncompromising and I think approaching the ...

I think this is the heart of the matter. People don't seem to want to solve the problem, they want to change society. The way to change society is to ...

I think your post is a good summary of the issue. I'm not someone who cares much about sports, but I do care about fairness. From what I've read, biol...

No. The focus of the debate should be on figuring out how to help transgender men and women become valued members of our communities without having to...

It doesn't seem like you understood what I wrote. I don't see any value in trying to explain more clearly. We can leave it at that.

Pragmatic - solves the problem - but it's not very philosophical, sociological, or political. I don't think this whole question is about people's comf...

It's a holiday because this is a day that's important to black people and it's been that way for a 150 years. What you have to say isn't what's import...

I don't think people care nearly as much. I doubt anyone cares if trans males want to compete on a men's sports team. I read an article in the past co...

I would say that anyone on either side of the issue not willing to make reasonable compromises to minimize the danger of violence shares in the respon...

That's certainly not true to the extent that it is for the disabled. For almost all conditions they do not require special physical accommodation. The...

I still don't see why any of this philosophy/sociology/psychology/anthropology/politics makes any difference. Is it reasonable for women to object to ...

I have a couple of problems with this. First, if you're saying that it's ok to put more women in danger as long as the overall level of danger is lowe...

That's a good question. Do trans women actually have to be a threat before it is reasonable to exclude them from women's bathrooms... I'll think about...

Having unisex bathrooms might be fine if each one held just one person, but larger locations tend to have communal bathrooms. As I see it, it's reason...

If you had written "Making sure discussions of transexuals and transgender people are reasonably fair and respectful...," I wouldn't have any problem....

And now... Sorry, no photos.

I appreciate the response.

In keeping with my interest with trucks that wreck and spill things on the highway, e.g. my previous posts on lite beer and dildos, I bring you this n...

The fact that jumps out at me is that you all three are moderators. Your comments carry more weight and a threat. You are also freer to express yourse...

This is amazing to me:

As with @"Jamal"'s comment which I discussed above, I find this comment disturbing, especially from a moderator. It shows a lack of perspective and un...

I've read all of @"Hanover"'s posts on this subject. None of them have been misguided. They've been nuanced and humane. The fact that you've sprinkled...

The compromise position I've heard of is that people who transition before puberty can compete as girls and women but those who don't till later can't...

Good post.

Good post.

I also don't share interests in anything on your list except engineering and math. My best friend is a woman. I like and respect women, but I recogniz...

Unexplained ? unexplainable.

This is a heart-warming video about a guy who retrofitted his Tesla to install a gas powered generator so he wouldn't have to stop to recharge. God Bl...

My question - how come they get such a cool disease name and we get stuck with "Covid 19?" I bet if we called it "Chikungunya" those MAGAs would get t...

Can you give us an example? If you say the USA, I'll stick my tongue out at you. Have your read "Guns, Germs, and Steel." It makes the case that geolo...

In an unrelated note, but speaking of definitions, I thought the term "litigation" only refers to civil, not criminal, court actions. Am I correct?

There is a great science fiction trilogy by Ann Leckie - the first book is "Ancillary Sword." In galactic society, no distinctions are made for sex/ge...

I've met quite a few biological women who do all this but still consider themselves women. No one on this forum has a "humble" opinion. As a matter of...

Do you have any insight into the people who claim to have no gender at all? I have a former nephew who makes that claim. That confuses me more than st...
